Anyways Abstracted Caine AU complete with art tiiimeee
future posts on this WILL have spoilers for after ep 9 (bc that's when this takes place) but this post has ZERO spoilers, it's just the rundown on Caine's design, has nothing to do with the actual things that happen in it, ur safe)
Uh here (translations for my terrible handwriting and spelling top to bottom like a comic panel btw)
STAGE ONE/not noticeable unless you pay close attention
-Staff was glitching so hard it glitched out of existence
-Blue eye glitches more than anything else
-Pretty much the same as before but intrusive thoughts are slightly stronger, he glitches out randomly, and he gets spontaneous slight growth spurts
-Sometimes gets uncomfortable in tailcoat during random growth spurts (tailcoat doesn't really grow much with him except for about every other growth spurt)
STAGE TWO/More visible
-Claws coming from fingertips and coming out through the glove
-Eyes change colors randomly like an Abstraction
-Tailcoat constantly activates his claustrophobia now since he grew a good three or four inches in this state and the coat only grew as if he was an inch taller
-Glitches sometimes (especially when feeling a strong emotion, or randomly)
-Shoes are fully red now
STAGE THREE/Not quite fully Abstracted but does not have much clarity, is completely gone in the light
-Eyes are glossier when not in control fully or even partially
-Blue eye (formerly Abel/AI part) glitches funny constantly
-Automatically gets his tailcoat back and cannot take it off in this state, even if it activates his claustrophobia
-Tails on tailcoat drag
-No admin powers really, can float slightly
(bonus-kinda just takes a backseat when not in control and can forcefully take back control when not in light-though it does drain his energy)
STAGE FOUR/Fully Abstracted
-Fully sane in complete darkness
-More animal-like features than other Abstractions
-💕tail!💕
-Sane-r than most other Abstractions due to the old anti-virus in his system (not really functional but the code's there)
-No Admin powers
-Has intense claustrophobia and cannot go into the Cellar, even something like that temporarily. (Mainly caused from the Recycling Bin/Box that he was in previously)
(TUMBLR, WHY DID U CRUSTIFY IT NOOOOO-)
STAGE FIVE/Recovery
-*red black color things* Normally left wing/feeling average, angry or irritated, and embarrassed.
-*Black and yellow colors* Normally right wing/ feeling excited, curious, happy, interested, completely relaxed or content.
-*Black and blue colors* Sad/depressed/betrayed
-Can switch between wing colors fully, half and half, or just one wing or the other consciously or unconsciously.
-Blue AI code remaints corrupted and ruined a bit of his eye, though it only glitches out when he's really sad/depressed or mad/irritated.
-Old form inside transparent wireframe body (the glowing red dot)
-Transparent wireframe
-Just for show though it's sensitive (like you grazed something like a feather along the arch of your foot or smth, ticklish)
-Likes wearing his shoes and gloves, dislikes the black colored tips of his feet and black tips of his wireframe-skinned fingers underneath those
-When surprised electricity jumps through the two small plug metal thingies on the end of the plug like you got zapped by bad static electricity (Inspo taken from when me or my dad used to usually get zapped by leftover static from when driving our old car for a while, sometimes creates this little neat arc thingie)
(inspo taken from bee colors, his shirt colors and stuff, and just a blue version of his normal colors)
WORKING ON REF FOR ANGRY FORM CURRENTLY, INSTEAD HAVE THESE TIDBITS AND IMAGINE IT FOR NOW:
-Sprouts another set of wireframe arms like Stage Three, though without the Abstracted eyes all over them
-Gets decorative eyes that are either red and black or yellow and black above shoulders and wings
-Two other sets of wings on either side of his head and right below his main wings that are usually yellow/black and red/black like other wing colors
-His main wings grow to an almost shocking size
-Pupils slit like a cat (Almost like stage Three but he's still sane during the whole thing)
Unintentional inspo taken from @facelessanimator
(ik it's so close but my subconscious mind saw ONE post from them on the AU and apparently lost all other unique ideas ig)
Also figuring out how to post the proper fully written out thing (I don't have AO3 and can't get it, long story)
AAAANYWAYS PLS ASK ME QUESTIONS ABT IT AND FACTS OK THX BYE
