AvA/M Pipsqueak AU - Character Info: I
I've been cooking this one up for a while. Someone better enjoy it/lighthearted. I may or may not be working on an even longer version for the H/V AU.
Note: Most names and stuff are in quotations because they aren’t actually the true names of those things/beings in this AU. Idk if that makes sense. Hopefully it does.

General - If you haven’t noticed already, all “Hollowheads” have almost whip-like tails. This is something that tends to be exclusive to “Hollowheads” for the most part.
“Victim” - He, like all “Hollowheads,” has a tail. It’s rounded at the end with a singular spike where the tail attaches to his body. The spike raises when he grows stressed. In this AU, he isn’t vengeful or anything towards “TCO”. Hell, he probably doesn’t even know that “TCO” exists. He’s fairly jumpy in this AU, probably comparable to that of OG!Victim’s behaviour when initially meeting OG!Mitsi. He tends to be the jumpiest around regular Sticks or Humans though. Then again, there aren’t many Pipsqueaks that he’s interacted with other than his friends. If any at all. It’s not like any of them even know he exists. He is not capable of human speech, and he is one of the few Pipsqueaks incapable of natural squeaking.
“TCO” - He’s one of the 2 “Hollowheads” with a glowing tail and, as far as what is known, he is the only one who can light his entire tail up. He is modelled off of “Victim,” [See; "Victim"] with a few key differences (ignoring the tail flame), such as his eyes and capabilities. He does share the singular spike at the tail-base with “Victim” though. “TCO” is also one of the three “Hollowheads” with powers, and one of the two “Hollowheads” with active ones (the other being “TDL”). “TCO” is the only known “Hollowhead” with a “mouth” (it’s less of a mouth and more of a him-splitting-his-face-open-like-he’s-Pac-Man kinda thing). He is not capable of human speech, and his squeaking tends to be rather quiet. It isn’t known if he can go any louder. He has never met “Victim,” but has very vaguely heard of him from some Humans. He hasn’t informed anyone, and kind of just shoved the memory to the back of his mind.
“TDL” - He’s the only “Hollowhead” with four eyes, having a second, smaller pair just below his two main ones. He is mainly modelled off of more “dangerous” looking designs as well as “TCO” [See; "TCO"] being used as a reference. He has 2 spikes at his tail base, and the end of his tail is spiky as well. He’s supposed to parallel and balance “TCO” out, supposedly being weak enough as to not be capable of defeating “TCO” easily but being strong enough to keep them both in a constant rivalry so that they are both kept at bay. He is loud. Really, really loud. Especially when he wants to be. That squeak could probably break your eardrums if he wanted it to. He’s the closest being/person/idfkman to “TCO,” and never really interacted with “TSC.” He doesn’t know that “Victim” [See; "Victim"] exists. He’s probably less destructive than OG!TDL if I’m going to be completely honest.
“TSC” - They’re the newest of the “Hollowhead” Pipsqueaks, modelled mainly around “TCO” [See; "TCO"] but drawing bits and pieces from “Victim” [See; "Victim"] as well. “TSC” is only “Hollowhead” with dormant powers. Their tail has no spikes at the base but has a star-like shape at the end that glows green in the dark or during times of high emotion (Similarly to how the fire at the end of “TCO’s” tail will flare brighter during times of high emotion. Usually distress, but certain positive emotions can also trigger it). They sleep a lot more compared to any of the other Pipsqueaks; nobody really knows why though. When it comes to the other “Hollowheads,” they’re not really close to any of them except for “TCO.” They don’t know of “Victim’s” existence, and they barely interacted with “TDL.” [See; "TDL"] They do have a sibling-like dynamic with “TCO” though, since they were introduced to each other when “TSC” was quite new. “TSC” is currently searching for “TCO.”
General - “Solidheads” are more “common” than “Hollowheads.” [See; "Hollowheads"] They also tend to serve a wider range of purposes in comparison to their more powerful counterparts. Additionally, “Solidheads” have been noted to originate from many “Locations,” whereas “Hollowheads” have only been recorded to originate from one specific “Location.” Certain “Solidheads” may have extra abilities, but the vast majority do not naturally have powers. This does not rule out the idea of a “Hollowhead” possibly leaving an imprint of its powers on certain “Solidheads.” (Side note: Most of the "Solidheads" stay fairly similar to their OG personalities for the most part)
“Red” - For those who haven’t seen, “Red’s” design is very cat-like. He’s canonically one of the (if not the) fluffiest Pipsqueaks, and he’s also slightly shorter than the others. By technicality, he would be classified as a “Runt,” though due to his long tail (no, that’s not a mistake), he’s technically classified as an “Abnormality,” or “Anomaly,” since a long tail (or a tail at all for that matter) on a non-“Hollowhead” tends to be considered a deformity, with only a few exceptions to that case. Alongside squeaking, “Red” also has a tendency to make cat-like sounds like hissing, meowing, or purring.
“Yellow” - “Yellow” is one of the few Pipsqueaks with more than 2 eyes, which is an even fewer number if you limit things to “Solidheads” only. Chances are that they might even be the only “Solidhead” with more than 2 eyes. Unlike “TDL,” [See; "TDL"] another Pipsqueak with extra eyes (specifically 2 extra eyes), “Yellow” only has one extra eye that sits a little above the space between their main two eyes. It tends to remain closed but glows white-yellow when opened. Additionally, “Yellow” is also the only known “Solidhead” with a physical mouth. The only other known Pipsqueak with one similar to theirs is a “Hollowhead,” “TCO.” [See; "TCO"] However, only “Yellow’s” mouth glows from the inside. They also have a pair of goggles for the most part, though they tend to take them off when sleeping. Oddly enough, "Yellow" has this strange ability to form almost electronic sounds alongside their regular squeaks (This has only been reported to occur once and thus is not fully confirmed).
“Green” - “Green” is one of the few “Solidheads” with wings, the only other confirmed one being “Purple.” “Green” specifically has moth wings, which is unique to him specifically. Additionally, he also has antennae sticking out from the top of his head, as moths do. "Green's" flight is overall pretty subpar—he tends to bump into things a lot—but the reason behind this remains undiscovered. Theories originally suggested that he simply never learned how to do so, but after spending time with "Purple" and having no progress in flight, this possibility was soon ruled out. In comparison to most of the Pipsqueaks, "Green" is one of the few who has full control over the tone and sound of his squeaks. Most Pipsqueaks have slight control and subconscious changes in "tone" depending on their mood, but there aren't many with the full control that "Green" has. He can also create clicking and "humming" sounds.
"Blue" - When it comes to "Blue," they're definitely an interesting case. It should be noted that the witch-like hat on their head was never given to them—it simply materialised on their head one day. It is important to add on that it is unknown if the hat can be taken off, as anyone who tried was quickly faced with aggression from not only "Blue," but the other Pipsqueaks in the area as well, specifically "Red," "Yellow," "Green," "Purple," "King," and "TSC." [See; "TSC," "Red," "Yellow," "Green"] Occasionally, "Blue" will be spotted with strange, red markings on their being, only for them so supposedly disappear a few moments later. Theories suggest that this could be caused by the repeated removal of their tail, which contains a lumpy, wart-like substance of a similar shade at the tip. "Blue" is generally one of the quieter Pipsqueaks.
"Purple" - Initially, "Purple" was from a different "Location." However, they were relocated after the failed esca certain events occurred, which prompted their relocation. They, like "Green" [See; "Green"] have wings, which is an uncommon feature currently unique to "Solidheads," meaning "Hollowheads" are incapable of having wings until proven otherwise. As a whole, "Purple's" wings are a unique case in of themselves, appearing to be a combination of feathers and membrane on each individual wing (of which there are two). Additionally, they have been shown to be much less clumsy when flying in comparison to "Green." The reason why "Purple's" flight development is superior to "Green's" still remains unknown. On a separate note, despite being roughly the same "Age" as the other juvenile "Solidheads," "Purple" is from a different "Generation" or "Set" of Pipsqueaks. This is not only because they originate from another "Location," unlike the others, but also because they were created from two pre-existing Pipsqueaks—"Navy" and "Orchid." Past being able to squeak like a normal Pipsqueak, "Purple" is also capable of chirping/cawing/etc, chirping/trilling, and rumbling/shrieking, with there being additional theories that they can also perform echolocation (this remains unconfirmed though). Hypothetically, this is due to them drawing features from their "parents," which is something previous "Generations" of Pipsqueaks were unable to do due to not having any "parents" to draw features from.
"King" - Being the only adult Pipsqueak of the main group, "King" has taken up some sort of a "parental" role for the others. He, like "Purple," [See; "Purple"] was initially from a different "Location," having been relocated when he began to behave aggressively towards the other adults at the "Location" after his "pair" and "youngling" were relocated elsewhere. He is much calmer now, though he wishes to reunite with his "pair" and "youngling" one day. He holds some guilt for his behaviour towards the other "Location's" adults, but it varies depending on the adult. However, "King" has completely taken "Purple" in as his own and—by association/extension—somewhat taken in "Red," "Yellow," "Green," "Blue," and "TSC" [See; "TSC," "Red," "Yellow," "Green," "Blue"] as well. The crown that seemingly floats above his head cannot be removed as if the crown is an extension of his body, which it may very well be. He, like most adult Pipsqueaks, does not squeak as much as the juveniles do, but he does rumble to an extent. This is usually a "motherly" trait that adult "female" Pipsqueaks develop once they have a "youngling," as it helps accelerate the development of the youngling, so it is rather uncommon not only for a "male" Pipsqueak to develop this, but also for said "male" Pipsqueak to develop it for juveniles. The reason for this remains unknown.
Anndddddd that's it for the first part. Lmk if you want a 2nd, which is where I'd cover some of the characters I didn't cover here (e.g. the rest of the "Solidheads," the "Otherheads," etc).
