DAY 1 - Favorite ADA Member

while ranpo will always be my first ada fave, my current favs are kyoka and atsushi because they've always been relatable characters to me personally! i couldn't choose between the two so i thought to include them both instead <3

i dont think i'll have the time+motivation to do this so here's my addisons biology part 2 but through text only (sorry). part 1 is here

Egg making is basically it phasing out of chest of the parent. They reproduce asexually, and when there's two or more parents, need to have a physical contact made between them all during the egg making process in order to have genes from said parents. the traditional way of doing it is via hand-holding.

Proboscis can move depending on moods; it can move up and down, and to the sides. It's usually rigid and straight though. Poking it is not polite, especially on the tip- that would be like touching someone's lips by our standards. It's somewhat sensitive too (again, like lips) so one needs consent from the addison individual.

Some Addisons may appear 'fat' by our standards but actually they aren't- it's just their exoskeleton being naturally wide, like a beetle. And when another individual looks 'thin', they actually are just narrow like a stickbug. Their weight can change but not through eating or lack thereof- instead it's based on age and activity. Older individuals tend to gain as they age. Also their weight change isn't as drastic as humans' in either case, and due to lack of internal organs, addisons, even big and tall ones, aren't heavy at all. If they were in the Light world, they'd have issues with the wind, even with not so strong gusts.

Can't regrow wings or limbs. While they only fly for fun/when among each other, wings being damaged intentionally by someone essentially means 'I don't want you to have fun or ever be free.'

Vibrant exokeleton colors (like most canon addis) are the most common colors regardless of species, except for White ones who are white, black or white with black stripes. Less saturated hues are uncommon but do exist, especially among hybrids.

glitched features exist among addisons- they can go from regular glitch visuals, changing their body shape, to stranger ones like compound eyes and Tarsus hands (while normal addisons have mitten hands).

Instead of internal organs or anything structural, inside the addisons' exoskeleton is complex coding, unique to each individual. Their coding includes the amount of money they have- like a bank website. It's extremely hard to hack an addison's internal code, but it's possible. Having that happen can be pretty upsetting to the individual and probably won't be the same person they used to be, in more ways than one (glitches, malware, fear of having it happen again etc)

how they take care of eggs: They tend to make one egg at a time (phases out of their chest), but they can make as much as they want- as long as they have the money for it (as stated before, they need 100D$ to make 1 egg). They can make it hatch at any time they want, but taking a while to do so is generally preferred- for the simple reason that one can get more economic trafic when letting everyone know they're going to be a parent.

how they take care of larvae (they don't). can technically have their larvae with them in the city, but it's incontrollable no matter what the parents say or do. The microtransations the larvae feed on are rarer in the city anyway so it's best to just leave them in the Cyber Field. Larvae are generally completely silent, unless they're in distress- they do human baby-like vocalizations in such situations.

how they take care of pupa: Being torn from the pupa too early is detrimental to both the health and knowledge of the individual- since the most important physical growth they'll go through is done (they don't grow/molt as adults), and they gain essential knowledge about the economy and the world during pupation. If they didn't get to fully grow as a pupa, they'll stay at whichever size they were went torn from it- which can go to big head with a small body, or/and thin, incomplete limbs, and at the earliest stage, just a head with an embryo-like body, too small to have any physical strength. Knowledge can be taught after pupation, but it's very unlikely that it'll stick or even interest the individual. Addisons that didn't get to fully develop in their pupa are labelled as disabled, but it's not a negative connotation- these individuals can still work just as much and as well as abled ones. They simply need a job that is adapted to their disability(ies)- it's not uncommon to have disabled Addisons advertise disability-related products, or if they lack the knowledge to advertise, be a graphic designer specialized in accessibility.

culture extra bit: they tend to genuinely believe that there is no other way to true happiness besides advertising. Some even have the toxic and entirely made up belief that they can die if they stop advertising. Materialism is seen as good and as the norm.

language. only knows english since that's what's chosen for global marketing. usually fascinated by other languages. They uses slogans as cultural expressions/sayings; like 'you know what they say! Good Clean Makes it Good!!'

religion: usually believes in the Angel. Tends to hold Lightners in the same way esteem middle ages people held in saints/angels. Though some see their Brands and their creator as something above regular customers. The hierarchy of their beliefs goes something like: animal Darkners (Maus, etc) < people Darkners (including Addidons themselves) < Lightners/customers < Brand creators < the Angel < God

Names: Named after one's color is classic but good- like flower names- common naming practice among non-religious families. Being named after Lightners' terms (SPAMton, etc) is the equivalent of being named after a religious figure.

hybrids. hard to get, and infertile. mixes colors no matter what and randomly gets distinctive features from one or both parents, but usually in a smaller scale. Example: blue addis have retractable leg hairs they use for courtship amongst themselves; if a pink and blue had a child, it would be purple with smaller retractable hairs.
