🔊 NEW ENTITIES DETECTED in the Spiritual Hub! 🔊

The 2027 Timeline archive has just been updated with the "Vocal-Echo" unit. These aren't just Cookies; they are sound-data manifested through the power of the Midnight Bell. 🔔💖

🍰 Hatsune Miku Cookie — The classic digital heart of the unit. 🥖 Kasane Teto Cookie — A "Chimera" glitch who defied the void to stay rendered. 📱 Akita Nerū Cookie — Too busy on her phone to care about the Shimmering Eclipse. 🥕 Gumi Cookie — Bringing that high-energy neon resonance to the team.

They carry the [Dazzle] debuff in their songs and harmonize perfectly with the Original Seven. 🎤✨

"Is it a song, or is it a glitch in the multiverse?"

and here's their icons:

This is a Prototype Ask/Roleplay Blog, set roughly after chapter 5 though partially canon divergent from the main timeline in that this particular Prototype (‘Proto’ for short) is based off of my PPT AU, though the AU content is more backstory based in this case. Except for the fact certain character deaths (e.g. Catnap) don’t occur. And who the Player is. Of course.

Major Lore Points for this ask blog will be found in <Logs>, which can be found in the #TheLORE tag. This blog is also part of the Protoverse (see both the Lore and Protoverse tags for more information), with this Prototype being Proto 4.

Canon-typical triggers (e.g. death, child torture/death, experimentation, gore, violence, torture, abuse), can (and will) appear so beware and be careful.

This particular Prototype is in a weird limbo where he is simultaneously still the child ‘Elliot killed to make him’ while also having been forced to mature and learn things no child his age should’ve learned. The fact that he puts on an act to seem scarier and more ‘grown up’ (especially for his ‘God’ facade) doesn’t help the confusion.

Ultimately however, he stopped aging the moment he stopped being human, and is therefore still a child, so romantic and sexual stuff is VERY MUCH BANNED.

As the rules restate for those not reading/not re-reading these opening paragraphs.

Rules

❌Don’ts❌:

•Anything sexual or romantic. Oleander is a child.

•Anything gen AI/pro-gen AI (get that slop out of my askbox)

•Harass mun or the character/his design

•Abuse/Bigotry (I will not tolerate your hatred, you will be blocked), including showing support of abusive/bigot figures/media

•Godmodding (listen the Poppy Gel can only heal him so much)

•Killing/injuring him randomly (if you want to (temporarily) kill/injure him in a roleplay interaction please ask first)

•Get annoyed/spam asks if I don’t respond immediately, I may be asleep or busy with work/other commitments and will try my best to get around to the ask/rp eventually (unless it breaks the rules)

✅Do’s✅:

•Roleplay and Asks, including from your PPT OCs (other fandoms may be declined but it’s a case-by-case basis for them)

•For PPT blogs doing the above, if you don’t want to be treated as part of the Protoverse by Oleander than please specify OOC

•Angst (as long as it doesn’t break the other rules)

•Gentler/Fluff interactions

•Magic Anons are allowed as they amuse me (as long as they don’t break the other stated rules)

•You can tag me into interactions but I won’t necessarily join them

•Fanart (I would be honoured)

•Compliment his acting skills or call him scary/intimidating (It pleases him greatly)

•Annoy him (it’s funny and I know at least some of you want to)

✨Magic Anon Rules✨:

•You can extend MA counters up to a maximum of 80

•When one MA.SpecialGuest is active, you cannot summon any other 'Special Guests' (characters from my AU) until the previous effect ends

•Same with MA’s of similar nature (e.g. you can’t turn Four into a human when he’s already been turned into a cat) as the effects would conflict with one another

•You can still send in effects while conflicting ones are active, but they won’t be applied until said conflicting effect ends

Facts

Prototype/4/Oleander Facts!

•He/They!

•His Ollie voice is represented in orange

•He was originally designed to be more like a Jack-In-The-Box

•Theatre Kid

•Doesn’t need to eat/drink nor does so, but does need sleep occasionally

•They have migraine issues that have only gotten worse since the train crash

•He also has chronic pain (the Poppy Gel does NOT help), though he will vehemently deny this or its severity should you ask about it

•Denial is their go to coping mechanism after all! And he has a persona to maintain

•His second coping mechanism is ranting to Preston, though it’s rarely about any of his issues

•There’s a special device in his head, which Elliot made to increase chances of their identity being preserved in the initial operation

•Said device also lets him assimilate the identities of those he kills into himself (with the help of certain Playtime technologies), hence MLL’s quote

•He had two masks - One that couldn’t move (the one he wore during the chapters) and one that could move/have expressions (The original that Elliot made), however post Log 0000 (see #TheLORE for more info) he only has the latter

•They do not like talking about his parents, biological or adoptive (adoptive does only apply to Elliot since they never met Molly)

•Nor does he like reminiscing on the years he was human

•He dislikes being called Ollie/Oliver (outside of when he was pretending to Poppy) for the above reason

Mun Facts

•Main: @celestial-solstice

•You can call me Solstice for short

•I am enby (they/them) and aroace

•This is my first ask/rp blog so sorry in advance if I mess up with anything

Character References

To be updated with more drawings eventually.

[Metal scrapes across the ground as he returns to the area of the labs he claimed for his own, private work, safely tucked away from the prying eyes of followers and enemies alike. There he quickly gets to work; the crash had left him in a state less-than-desirable, and he had to remedy that sooner rather than later]

[Of course, most injuries were easy to fix, with the Restorative Gel Mixture having happily knitted back broken joints and muscles moments after the incident occurred, though he did have to manually reset a few pieces of bone and metal that had been healed incorrectly.]

[His outfit, however, was a completely different story, being very much burnt and torn, and though he did like looking intimidating, there was little intimidating about showing the masses that their ‘untouchable God’ had been temporarily immobilised by a train. His mask too needed replacing, for, despite the cool battle scar, it was no longer structurally integral enough for him to risk wearing it out and about]

[Thankfully, he did have replacements for both (though the mask could be fixed with proper submersion in the gel, so one of the replacements would be temporary), and, after placing the mask in a vat not unlike the one he placed her mask in, he swiftly exited the room through a smaller side door to put on the replacements]

[-]

[When he returned something felt wrong. Not with the mask, though it was weird to be able to form expressions again, but with the atmosphere. It seemed charged, and not in the way it had been before. Questioning, his eye darted around the room, before settling on one of the counters, where a strange dark shape lay among the surgical instruments]

What?

[His voice box had more static than usual. But that thought was dismissed in favour of inspecting the strange device, which was quickly confirmed to not be explosive, but some sort of weirdly-thin tablet with a sun and moon symbol on the back of it.]

….Hmmm

[He continued inspecting it, turning it back around to where he presumed the screen was. Head recoiling slightly when it suddenly turned on, but going closer when the logo was nothing like that of Playtime Co’s.]

And what might you be?

[It answered his question moments later, when it finished initialising and brought him to a welcome screen, which included a short explanation of its purpose as a way for beings from ‘alternate universes’ to communicate with them. A prospect that seemed ridiculous and better placed in one of those science fiction movies they remembered.]

[But still, even if what it claimed was surely impossible, it was curious that someone would decide to sneak into their territory and leave this here. They would have to up security.]

[Again.]

Somewhere Reality hiccups.

Ack-

Angel? Are you okay?!-

[Giblet runs to catch up to them, Poppy riding on his shoulders]

Seriously I have a name- well multiple technically- and yeah, I’m fine, I just tripped over something.

[They shrug, ignoring Harley calling them clumsy as they got back up]

It happens. But I’m perfectly fin {….!!!}

-and it’s not my Nokia either, so who knows where it came from.

Still, if there is a secret second Angel, wouldn’t that be a good thing?

…It depends on who they’re aligned with

[Poppy had perched on her Angel’s shoulder in order to see the Nokia better. After making sure they were able to stand steadily. Giblet had told her they were having more issues than usual]

I mean they’re probably dead anyway so maybe it’s nothing to worry about?

[There was a buzzing in the air, but neither the Flower or her Rescuer noticed]

Unless they got taken by whatever took Catnap.

[But Giblet noticed]

…Hey is the air getting weirder or is it just me?

Huh? Oh yeah what’s making that noi-

[Too late.]

{MA.AprilFools Applied!}

[This wasn’t the corridor they were just in. Both Poppy and her Angel stilled, the former glancing around nervously. It looked like… somewhere in the Upper Labs? Not near his territory, at least, but not where they had been. Giblet hadn’t been teleported with them either]

…Did Playtime.Co develop teleporters or something?

I don’t… think so?

[Not like she’d had much chance to learn things before or after the Hour]

Hmm. Wonder if this is where Catnap went.

But wouldn’t that mean he would be here as well?

[She couldn’t go back there. Back into his grasp. Urgh! They were supposed to be free of him! He had disappeared! Most of his area had disappeared! They could finally go rescue the orphans that were apparently still alive! But now-]

Maybe not? I mean I don’t see any Proto around here

[…The words were empty when weighed against the sheer scale of the factory, but Poppy appreciated the reassurance regardless]

// MA.AprilFools: 0/20

// OOC: You may, for the duration of the MA.AprilFools, ask Poppy, her Angel and Glowby!Sawyer questions. Though certain answers may be limited as to not spoil the fic.

// OOC:

3. Do they have unusual speech patterns?

✨Already done✨

9. Are they good or bad at making handicrafts?

Oleander: Considering the Poppy Mural, they’ve definitely got some art skills, and they have made those custom cameras, so I’d think that they would be rather good at it, though definitely more oriented to the mechanical side of creation.

Pink X: It doesn’t have limbs (skill issue), so… well a 3 year old can do better but it has the spirit at least?

I mean in its Tablet form it can use procreate or something so it can probably get decent at digital art, but at traditional stuff it is screwed over by the fact it is a floating algebraic symbol.

13. Any food they avoid for reasons other than taste?

Oleander: Anything with a lot of childhood memories (especially good/meaningful ones) attached to it. He doesn’t like thinking about those. So like Haggis or Sunday Roast for example. Anything really, that he’d eat when he went overseas to visit his Grandad.

Pink X: Popcorn. Blame the rp discord but basically that was how it learned absorbing solid food sucks.

19. Easy to fall asleep or insomniac?

Oleander: Insomniac until his body forces him to.

One from each!!

// OOC:

3. Do they have unusual speech patterns?

Oleander: Arguably the whole voice mimicry thing is unusual, at least for those not used to it. There are certain voices he will default to automatically, but that’s just because he has a lot of voice recordings of them

Pink X: The ‘<>’ symbols. Which signifies a sort of resonance felt by the listener every time it speaks. There’s power in that voice after all. When in Tablet form it can also do it, though that’s with far more static and the eldritch power is far more masked.

7. Neat or messy hand writing?

Oleander: Neat. They have a reputation to uphold.

Pink X: It doesn’t have hands so it can’t exactly write. If it were given hands somehow, it would therefore have messy handwriting due to a lack of experience.

12. Are they a picky eater?

Oleander: Yep. If you can even get them to eat (which is a lot easier in human form, when they won’t feel pain for it), they are not tolerating anything that has a texture or taste they don’t like. Not entirely sure what textures/tastes are on their bad list right now, but I do know they don’t like wine (long story, blame the rp discord (lol))

Pink X: Yes and no. Yes in that it eats via absorption (since it lacks a mouth) and therefore prefers liquids over solids. No in that it is open to trying a lot of things. Which so far has mostly been alcohol (same long story as above, still due to the rp discord)

24. Other sleeping habits?

Oleander: Even when he is in a form that actually needs sleep, he will avoid it like a plague, until the exhaustion forcefully knocks him out. This is not healthy and he needs to actually acknowledge his issues at some point. When he is actually asleep however, he is quite a heavy sleeper.
