#addison lore

so basically i was overthinking that one official art where spamton has fangs and analyzed his dentition and tied it into my addison biology stuff

Personal Addisons are Addisons who belong to a single person or company seperate from Addison Corps themselves, and either advertise for the company they're owned by or don't advertise at all.

- around 6’6”

- ears and olfactory system (smell) are inside their noses! - sort of avian, share a common ancestor with swatchlings

- their feathers/fur glow! they’re covered with it, with the thickest areas including their head, chest, joints, and back. their bellies, limbs, palms, and face have soft skin similar in texture to silicone or those soft nightlights. addisons eat light as energy and emit it naturally

- fiber optic glowing whiskers, for further flashiness to attract customers and to navigate/sense

- 2 visible toes, 4 in total, other 2 toes are in a ”skin sock” and can’t move

- parent addisons manes grow extra long and glowy so chicks can cling on easily and consume more light efficiently!

- pupils are shaped to work in areas with lots of different light levels (like bright neon lights in a dark cyber city), like cuttlefish!

- their eyes can detect the hex codes of colors

ADDISONS INTERNAL EXOSKELETON (or shell) keeps their vitals safe! it’s the texture of very hard plastic in harder areas like kneecaps, elbows, and their chest, and softer plastic in their bellies and fingers. they are not like animal skeletons, they have organs outside AND inside them!

NOTE: hair on their head and whiskers are rooted into their shell/scalp, but not shown for reference.

- addisons are partially robotic, they live off food and light/energy/money. their vitals include organs and robotic parts.

- they can survive with just a shell without fur and skin, since their vitals are kept safe inside their shells

- ball jointed, hinged jaws, and sunken eyes

- pudgy tummies! keeps all their organs safe

- they have 4 toes, but the other two are not visible and vestigial, like human tailbones. this is from their avian ancestors

spamton pre bigshot era, around 4’6”

- a runt, short and white due to neglect as a chick. addisons get their colors from imprinting on parents, for example if an addison chick is raised by a red and blue parent, they will be purple! but he didn’t have parents spend enough time around him to imprint, causing him to grow up without getting much color. he is short from not getting enough money/light as food when he was a chick. (more about life cycles and behaviors in the next part)

spamton post acid bath, around 2’3”

- all his vitals are inside his shell, so he can survive the acid bath. shells are VERY durable

- his weird proportions are because when he was dunked in acid feet first, his lower body shrunk faster than his upper body, and his head stayed about the same size. his feet are proportionally the smallest part of him.

- he can still make expressions like with his lips, eyebrows, and other facial muscles because he has a really thin layer of silicone like skin left behind, since his head was under the acid for the shortest amount of time. this is how he still has expressions and isn’t just hard plastic!

- addisons can regrow skin and fur but only if they’re healthy and not stressed. sadly, spamton is neither, and his injuries are very severe.

- he has more whiskers than the average addison. stressed/unhealthy addisons grow extra whiskers to help them try to navigate and survive better if they’re struggling

- he can’t glow anymore due to the acid damage

yep!! addisons have reeeaaally color sensitive eyes, combine that with cybernetics and they can detect the exact hex code of another addisons fluff. that works as a sort of fingerprint, since it’s really rare for two addisons to have the EXACT same color code. so it works like a recognition system! the parent addisons would definitely remember their chicks color code and vice versa.

OUGH YEAH….. OK THIS IS FITTING
