Lane Alex Banks, the Half-Toy Abomination

So, I semi-recently watched playthroughs of Poppy Playtime Chapter 3, annnnd I liked DogDay, so...decided to try my hand at an SI in the PoP universe.

SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER THREE OF POPPY PLAYTIME UNDER THE CUT.

Lane Alex Banks was a fellow orphan with Casey Kit Jones, and raised in the Poppy Playtime orphanage/onsite Playcare. They were a fellow leader with Casey, and looked up to by most of the kids in the factory, so when the time came for the first round of experiments...Lane was selected. They were meant to become a Bigger Body of a discontinued rave/bat themed toy, but the toy was dropped mid-process/experiment, and Lane was held prisoner deep in Playcare to make sure no one ever saw them.

They eventually escaped during the Hour of Joy, and are the only known child to escape the factory. They returned about ten years later at the age of 25, intent on getting closure about the entire disaster- only to get caught up in the troubles currently taking place in Playtime Co.'s factory.

Random facts about the AU:

Casey Kit Jones eventually became DogDay prior to the Hour of Joy.

Casey and Lane never followed the Prototype, Casey knew CatNap while Lane didn't, so he distracted CatNap so Lane could escape during the Hour of Joy.

Lane had no clue that Casey held off CatNap.

One of the proposed names for Lane's 'toy self' was going to be BabblyBat. Another was 'Party Bat', or 'Rave Bat' (a toy aimed at teenagers).

Lane's skin is discolored to match every location where the toy parts were attached- so around their ears/cheeks, shoulders, and upper back.

Their original hair color (when they were a kid) was blond, but now it's a bright purple.

Lane can hover/fly a few feet off the ground, but due to an intense fear of heights, they almost never use their wings for this purpose.

They have a barcode inked into the skin just below their shoulder, which would have eventually become the barcode of their 'toy'.

Anywhere their skin is discolored feels more like plastic than flesh.

Lane's hearing and sight are heavily increased, which resulted in them wearing sunglasses a lot when out in the day.

Lane can very easily be overwhelmed by intense noise.

They can produce an incredibly painful, high-pitched shriek that can stun opponents for a few seconds.

After finding DogDay in his near-dead state, Lane was able to rescue him.

After escaping the factory, Lane and DogDay end up running an orphanage together. Where and how is yet to be determined.
