The boy stops in his tracks. “I know you,” he says, tilting his head curiously. He’s not tall, but he’s regal nonetheless, dressed all in white. Something about him makes Leia’s hair stand on end, and although she hides it she feels a stirring in her own chest. I know you like I know my own soul, she thinks wildly, and wonders where it came from. Has she gone insane?
“That’s nice,” she says, and shoots him anyway.
He deflects it in a flash of light, a glowing blue laser sword appearing in his hand like magic. She’s only seen one of those before, and it’s Vader’s. If this boy is anything like Vader, she realizes, she’s in deep shit.
She’s smart enough to know when she’s outmatched. Leia makes the tactical decision to run for her life.
Later, as she’s getting the hell out of there, she wonders why he didn’t try to stop her.
She remembers being young and tugging on her mothers skirts, demanding to know why their guest was so sad. “Does he not like it here?” She’d asked, and then, trembling, because Kenobi always seemed saddest around her. “Is it…because of me?”
“Oh, Leia,” her mother sighed, lifting her into her arms. “It’s not that, I promise.”
“Then what is it?”
“Master Kenobi lost a child under his care, years ago.” Breha’s eyes grew deeper, darker. “It was not his fault, but he blames himself. You remind him of that child, that’s all.”
Leia had quieted at that, contemplative.
The next time she’d seen Master Kenobi, she had given him a hug. He didn’t seem to know what to do with that, so she resolved to give him more of them. “He’s lonely,” she’d told her mother. “No one should be lonely.”
Looking at Obi-Wan Kenobi now, the memory seemed so far away. He’d aged thirty years in the ten it had been.
He looks, Leia thinks with a small twinge of regret, very lonely.
“Leia,” he greets. “It’s been a long time.”
Out of the corner of her eye, Leia sees a glint of white.
Kenobi freezes in his tracks. “Luke?” He whispers, and through the distance Leia can hear it as if he’d been speaking directly into her ear.
Master Kenobi lost a child under his care, her mother whispers in her head. He blames himself.
In an instant, Leia understands everything.
Kenobi is still staring at the boy he’d lost so long ago when Vader cuts him down.
Later, as she’s pacing around on the Falcon to Han muttering darkly about Princesses and supernatural abilities, she rememberers the way the boy collapsed, as if all his strings had been cut. Vader was too occupied with him to even look at her as she shot at him desperately.
Luke. She hates him more than she hates herself.
“They know where you are,” he hisses frantically. “They’re coming for you. You have to run.”
“Wait!” Leia quickly pulls up their sonar. Nothing yet, but it would explain the distant queasiness she’d felt since they’d landed. She tended to trust her gut. “How do you know? How much time do we have?”
“Not important, and not enough,” he says. “I have to go, and so do you. You need to leave yesterday.”
“How do I know I can trust you? I don’t even know who you are.”
He pauses. “Call me Skywalker.”
“That’s not an answer, Skywalker.”
“Yes it is.”
She opens her mouth to argue, but there are faint voices on the other end, drawing nearer.
“Shit,” Skywalker mutters. “I have to go. I’ll be in contact, okay? Don’t ever tell me where you are, or where you’re heading. Vader and Palpatine aren’t shy about reading minds. Just leave as soon as you can, and figure out the rest.”
“But—“
It’s too late. The comm has disconnected.
She stares down at it, disbelieving. How would the Empire know they’re here? Why should she trust a stranger who somehow got her personal comm code?
Gut feeling or not, on paper this was a perfect location. Supplied, armored, and most importantly, extremely well hidden. There was no real reason to think it would possibly be found out.
It’s probably a trap. Almost definitely a trap.
Han sticks his head in the door, a sour look on his face. “Hey Princess, can you tell these idiots—“
She makes a decision then and there.
“We’re leaving.”
“What?”
“We’re evacuating, effective immediately.” She pushes past him, and he follows so close he’s nearly stepping on her heel.
“Why? I think it’s pretty cozy here. Actual sunlight doesn’t hurt, either.”
“Apparently too cozy.” She grabs the first person she sees, a pilot who stares at her with wide eyes. “Emergency evacuation. Spread the word to pack everything you can and leave, I’ll let you know where we’re headed when we’re in orbit.”
He salutes and scurries off.
“Woah, hey now.” Han snatches at her elbow until she turns around to face him. “What’s going on?”
“There’s a new informant. He told me the Empire knows we’re here. They’re coming for us.”
“And you trust this person because…”
“I don’t have a choice,” she snaps. Someone runs past them, holding three packs filled to the brim with rations. “It’s either he’s lying and we’re not in danger, or he’s telling the truth and we’re going to die if we don’t listen. It’s not exactly hard math.”
It could be a trap of course, but he hadn’t suggested any sort of direction or destination to follow, and Leia wasn’t inclined to share. Especially not after his tidbit about Vader and Palpatine reading minds.
He squints at her. “That’s not it.”
“What?”
“I don’t believe you,” he insists. He’s so infuriating. Leia doesn’t know why she hasn’t kicked him out yet.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Yes you do, and you’re either gonna tell me why, or find a different transport when we head out of here.”
“Who said I was riding on your hunk of junk?” She demands. She actually was planning on going with them, since the Falcon has more than enough room for all the supplies that can’t fit in the other ships and none of the trustworthiness of the other pilots, but Han doesn’t need to know that.
“Well?”
Damn him. Damn him for knowing how to read her. She doesn’t know when she let that happen.
“I feel it,” she admits, defeated. “Something tells me he’s trustworthy. We’ll wait and see if it’s right.”
He studies her. She holds her head high, but inside she’s jittery at the scrutiny. They don’t have time for this.
“Yeah, all right,” Han finally says.
“Really?”
“Yes, really.” He rolls his eyes, like she’s not acting absolutely insane by putting all her trust in a random man she’s never even met. “Now come on, Princess, weren’t you the one who said we had to hurry?”
What is it about this man that makes it impossible to tell whether she wants to punch him or drag him into the nearest supply closet? They don’t have time to find out.
“So there’s good news and bad news.”
“Bad news first,” she demands.
“They know there’s a mole.”
“Shit.” Of course they know, how could they not? She should have been more careful, less obvious about the correlation of their movements with the Empire’s plans. “The good news?”
“They’ve tasked me with hunting down this ‘pathetic rebel spy,’” Skywalker says, humor in his voice. “That should buy me some time.”
Leia can’t quite stop the snort she lets out. “Seriously?”
“Yep. You’re speaking to a professional mole-hunter, here.”
“Well congratulations on the promotion, Skywalker.”
“Thank you,” he says grandly. Then, quieter, “It won’t last, Princess. They’ll find out eventually.”
“I know. Just hang in there, it will be over soon.”
“Will it?” He asks, suddenly sounding very young. She realizes that she has no idea how old he is. She doesn’t know anything about the man who has saved them more times than she cared to admit, and the idea rattles her until they sign off.
Later, she looks up the name Skywalker in their archives. There are a few results, but only one sticks out.
Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Knight and hero of the Clone Wars. Killed at the hands of Darth Vader. There are gossip articles too, speculations on his relationship with the pregnant Senator Padmé Amidala, who died around the same time Skywalker did. The baby, it seems, died with her.
Unless he didn’t.
It’s ridiculous. It’s impossible. The idea is so ludicrous that Leia almost rejects it entirely.
But it makes sense. By the Maker, it makes sense.
The child of Anakin Skywalker, it seems, would be a powerful Force user indeed. Powerful enough for Kenobi to take the baby and run. Powerful enough for the Emperor to want him for his own gain. Powerful enough to send Vader after Kenobi and take the boy himself.
Maybe even powerful enough to shield his mind from Vader and Palpatine’s intrusions.
Powerful enough to hide the fact that he’s a spy.
Leia sinks into her chair, covering her face as she laughs.
Maybe Luke isn’t so bad after all.
“No, no, no,” she mutters, digging through the smoking wreckage of the TIE fighter. “Don’t be dead, please don’t be dead.”
“Princess…” Han lays a hand on her shoulder that she immediately shrugs off.
“No, he’s not dead. He’s not. Luke!”
A faint cough answers her, and she’s so relieved to hear it she could cry. Behind her, Han starts bellowing for a medic and, “Some damn help here, do you expect us to move all this ourselves?”
“Luke, it’s me,” she sobs. “It’s Leia. You’re at the Rebel Base. You’re safe.”
More coughing, and there’s a worrying rasp to his voice when he says, “You know…my name?”
“I figured it out.”
“Smart.” This time, the coughing is so bad Leia and Han both wince.
“Shit, kid,” Han says, moving another piece of rubble. “Don’t talk. We’re gonna get you out of here, all right?”
“Stand back,” Luke chokes out.
“What?”
“Stand back. Please.”
Han protests, but something in Leia knows they should listen to him. She drags him back, and motions everyone else to fall back with them. They do, albeit reluctantly.
“Clear,” she calls, hoping Luke can hear her.
The TIE explodes.
“Fuck!” Han goes back in, Leia on his heels with the terrifying feeling that she’d just allowed Luke to die, before they both stop in their tracks. Around them, the broken pieces of the TIE are floating.
And curled up in the middle is a man dressed all in white.
“Luke!” She pushes past Han to start dragging him out, and after another moment of staring around them, he helps her.
As soon as they get clear, the pieces fall to the ground with a clatter. Luke falls limp with them.
Han is still looking at the TIE. “Can you do that?” He asks quietly.
Leia pauses her examination of the unconscious man in front of her to glare at him. “Is that what you’re most concerned with right now? Really?”
“Excuse me for asking, Princess!”
“It’s white,” Luke grumbles, pulling at his hospital gown bitterly. “I hate wearing white.”
“Should I be offended?”
He rolls his eyes. “Don’t even. You look great and you know it. I just feel like I never left.”
“Well,” she says gingerly. “I guess it’s a good thing you got sick of it. If we went around in matching outfits all the time, people might think we’re twins.”
He snorts. “Yeah, right.”

stan twins the canon cptsd brothers i will always think about all your unaddressed issues that would make perfect plot fuel for your spinoff
and also the whole 'stan getting that poem by bill via a website which contrasts with bill getting one from the axolotl via a website' foreshadowing thing
like idk i would love something like su future but like more optimistic, aka not an accumulated breakdown that has to be mostly resolved off screen at the end :/// but something thats being kinda addressed throughout? (although would love to see one of them turn into a monster thats always fun lol)
stan having severe issues from his dad and those years of being homeless that we keep on getting more info on but never really getting confronted on (the drifter catalogue and tijuana incident...), him being completely alone for like twenty years when running the shack before soos comes along to the point that 1998 is noted as his low point, and him not really learning about bill+what he did to ford until ages after he killed him if he ever did get the full context
while i think amnesia and everyone seeing him as a hero actually helped with stan's 'i'm a worse version of my brother' thing its still a lingering issue too and we now got him being insecure over his own hands
ford being immediately thrown from 'being tortured by bill' to 'being stuck in the multiverse and being chased by bounty hunters constantly', him fully expecting himself to die when destroying bill, and him only now being safe for the first time in 30 years ....relatively safe, he's still in constant danger because of course he is
idk in the end the series wants them to be happy and they deserve it, its why i wasn't too worried about the book being like 'ooh bill is back!! and the book is haunting ford' thing cos i knew they'll be ok
#stan pines#ford pines#stanley pines#stanford pines#gravity falls#stan twins#as for the 'still on your mind' thing to me its stan literally thinking about bill despite ford resolving to move past it#or alternatively me on my same coin theory obsession lmao#me yelling and screaming at ouroboros being used to link to the axolotl and bill and how ford didn't actually keep it#which brings up even more questions about it reappearing in the shack when stan takes over#of course even if him realising about reincarnation being a thing i think its still way less to deal with than his actual issues#something something a same soul doesnt mean much when he already proved himself a better person a million times over#idk my thoughts on reincarnation as a concept is like eh??? anyway#also completely unrelated but stan writing fanfic means he knows what soos meant when he was talking about stan fics#soos seems like a gen fic writer especially with the ones we got as those promos#the train one where he comes up with a giant backstory for the setting that has nothing to do with the fic bros is super funny#but meanwhile we have stan the canonical smut writer who had to be writing it that summer#would he be a self insert shipper? would he projecting on the duchess instead? is he both???#i have many questions#then again judging from hows theres a wedding scene that he got super emotional over he might just be a shipper????#this has nothing to do with my original post#...or does it cos the axolotl last appears reacting to stan freaking out about count li--#anyway if you think this post is longer than my usual its cos i physically made myself delete most tags and put it in the actual post

I've been picking mostly only the essential flirt options with lucanis in the romance so far (I've personally found the dynamic much more natural and mutual when you do that, more like forming a solid friendship slowly and inevitably becoming something else and less like you keep pushing on him and getting little back b/c he seemingly just gets overwhelmed and goes into freeze instead), and I think rye is a pretty hard person to read at the best of times even though he's been Down Real Bad from pretty early on and their chemistry as people is naturally really good. so the way the almost-kiss plays out in this playthrough feels a lot like it has the added layer of lucanis realizing that no but for sure rook is flirting and not just being kind or a good friend* it IS actually happening it's not just wishful/fearful thinking!!! and then uh. maybe going a bit too hard a bit too fast in all the excitement at that revelation haha
*in lucanis' defense he has seemingly literally never had a friend who wasn't his cousin-brother before, under those circumstances I suppose some confusion is extremely natural if not outright expected lmao
#meanwhile rook is kicking himself for being unprofessional b/c he WAS getting something important from spite there#and also lucanis had like. just woken up was that cool of me. should I have told him. should I have slowed that down???#watcher's duty crashing into watcher's longing blues ensues#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#lucanis dellamorte#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#rook x lucanis#rookanis#I think I might have done something hilarious and a little wonderful to the lucanis romance#by making a rook who's even slower to romance than he is fhskjfhsa#even here I was straight up like 'oh this is a little early for this don't you think' on rye's behalf (it's not we have to be mid-game)#imagine how he'd fare in some of the other romances you'd just bowl him over. davrin might kill him#(and also they would kill each other for unrelated reasons during it but that's another matter (affectionate I love my lads))#lucanis has been squinting at rook in stolen moments ever since the café scene like '...did I imagine that vibe. surely not right.#i'm pretty sure. but am I. I do know he likes me. but DOES he like like me or is that just what I want it to be. this is very embarrassing#for everyone involved' (it is)#davrin has had both their numbers the entire time tho. and been extremely annoyed but professional about it#he knew from the moment these two chucklefucks showed up in his recruitment mission. and has been an adult about it. mostly#even when they've made it real hard ('so I'm gonna go ahead and assume you're not letting the abomination serial killer run around#just because you're transparently excruciatingly sweet on him. right. RIGHT??')#I have accidentally given lucanis a pattern of falling for people who keep covered neck to toe at all times#but like not to be a metaphor for their emotional intimacy issues or anything haha. imagine.#I'm making my own heart so tender by imagining lucanis struggling to get rye out of his (many-layered) robes during the romance scene#and both of them laughing right from the soul in relief and delight at each other b/c like 'how could I kill a god only to be bested#by nevarran fashion. also how in the maker's name do you get dressed so quickly in the mornings this is intense'#'same way one does anything else lots of practice and a can-do attitude'/'well I'll just have to put in the practice then'#and they just hug for a while. *head in my hands* yeah okay I can be normal. I can be normal about this.

timeskip Molly concepts - probably when she's around 16-17 ish, maybe even early college? ( I'm not a big fan of the "ooh the bubbly character gets older and is now SUPER SAD" trope so this is more like... Molly is still Molly, she just gets older and faces more hardships/life stressors that come with age, and struggles to maintain the same high level of positivity/resiliency she used to have )

i think ichiro’s sentimental enough to see his life flash before his eyes as he’s falling to his doom (falling off the rodeo ride lmao) and think kuukou reaching out to save him was a lot like kuukou reaching out to him in the first place lol (and lowkey saving him then)

List of Known Steins out in the Multiverse
Tumblr media
Here it finally is: The comprehensive catalogue (in no particular order) of alternate universe Frankens!
For the sake of avoiding redundancy, the Frankens I have drawn or written about beforehand will not be included, and I have avoided any that are too closely associated with a Soul variant to the point of being overshadowed (so you won't see the death scythe listed, or anything about the squirrel scientist, rat king professor, etc.).
Even while I attempted to keep things concise (the multiverse is infinite, after all), this list is still quite long (like actually 100+ of them) and you have been warned before clicking the read more. Otherwise, hope this is a fun and informative collection to feast your mind upon!
Without further ado:
Special mention to the one story idea I had called Schadenfreude, which explores Franken's perspective as his partnership with Spirit changes and after he graduates, going through events such as how he acquired his lab, the type of autopsy work the Academy had him do, and the different levels of experimentation he did on himself and everything around him. It also delves upon his relationships with the other characters and how he is as a person throughout the story, especially as he gets closer to who he is when the series starts.
Mostly just a character piece that answers little questions like when did he get his glasses, how did he end up becoming a smoker, and some focus on his level of self-awareness despite simultaneously being a little emotionally immature. I personally don't see myself being the best fit for stitching together this kind of story given I don't have as much of a grasp with his character as I do Soul, but it's definitely still interesting to think about.
2. Oddball: While his eyes appear to be slightly bigger than normal due to his glasses, they're actually rather small underneath. Definitely an oddball even by average Franken standards, being more visually expressive (he really likes to talk with his hands), often found telling way too many facts about cannibalism and the human body, and is banned from more than one dentist's office. Probably also secretly half-shark.
3. Mongoose Centaur: Often depicted with snakes between his claws, and sometimes also his fangs. A proficient hunter of snakes, hunting them both as food and protection of the surrounding peoples living nearby. Despite his wild nature, he is quite fascinated by two-leggeds, especially those who are quite capable of hunting as well.
4. Paleontologist: Ever since he was a little kid, he's always hyperfixated on dinosaurs, even if in his own way of wanting to take apart and put things back together again. Now that he's older, he gets to do just that: Fossil reconstruction and theorizing how those many ancient critters may have lived in the past. He also likes to take up speculative evolution projects as a hobby, and is probably the most likely to engineer a real living dinosaur at some point.
5. Engineer: Due to the unfortunate circumstance of having been born a squeamish person, he's taken to focusing his interest in dissections to the engineering and machinery side of things, which is certainly useful in the tech-heavy world of his. Also noted to have a pet lobster that may or may not actually be some species of monster, even if relatively docile.
6. Frank: At some point in the time that Marie has been living in Franken's lab, he ended up bringing home a large monstrous crab as a pet. And not just any large monstrous crab, a Black Desert Crab: An extremely rare species that he couldn't just let go to waste getting eaten by vultures or what have you. While Marie has been pretty accepting of their new roommate, she isn't quite as enthusiastic about Franken trying to feed the crab Doritos for science.
7. [Lab Dog AU]: In some alternate universe, there was an experiment that had altered a grey wolf into standing on two legs, with long forelimbs and even longer tail, all held together by a screw-like device anchored along the top of its spine. It's uncertain how it was freed from the lab that birthed it, but it ended up being taken in by Franken as both a test subject and companion. It has somewhat child-like intelligence and is relatively friendly, so it's made for a decent lab assistant, at least in that it's easier for Franken to get his thoughts out when he needs to and have someone to help remind him to take breaks (it's recently gotten good at sniffing out when his anxiety flares as well). He hasn't quite deciphered what the device is originally intended for, but it makes moving more difficult for it if screwed in either direction.
8. Bad Clone: I've actually mentioned him once before, but allow me to elaborate that in Pokemon Gold and Silver, a clone is when you copy one Pokemon's data and overwrite it over a second Pokemon, thus turning it into the first one completely. A bad clone, however, is when this is done incorrectly so it may end up looking like the original Pokemon, but has still been rewritten with the data of the Pokemon you were attempting to copy. So with this in mind, imagine a Soul who looks like Soul, except something went horribly wrong to have Stein's "data" overwritten into his (originally written as "Soul finds he loves dissecting all kinds of things and seeing how they tick, but doesn't understand why.").
9. Chimera: His fascination with unique creatures led him to grafting them to himself, and what he doesn't use, he dissects and maps out the intricacies of their anatomy. Given the wide range of organisms under his belt, he's quite particular about collecting only the rarest of specimens for personal additions, while otherwise either preserving them for further study or making minor chimeras for when monsters would not otherwise survive their captivity. Notable for having somehow integrated a Cockatrice into himself, and for unintentionally creating the world's most colorful Jackalope farm.
10. Hydra: Was infected by Medusa in an attempt to convert him into her new pet project, however the versatility and resilience of his soul made the snakes all his own. Most of the snakes inhabit him through the holes scattered along his torso and arms, making them quick to defend their host when threatened, and conversely utilized as an extension of his wavelength attacks. Of course people are more wary of him than ever, but this strange symbiosis has yet to impede his mind much.
11. GOD: One can truly only summarize him as The Mad God, and is probably the most noteworthy Franken Stein in the multiverse. Of course, describing him otherwise is a little trickier; accounts of who he is or what he's like seem to change from even the most minute detail when talked of, leading to a very reasonable conclusion that he is most likely some form of chaos deity. To the Frankens most aware and sensitive to his existence, they're doing what they can to band together and minimize the harm he may have on other realities.
12. The Thread and Needle: Also fully known as The Thread and Needle of Time and Space. As you would expect, he is the keeper of the fabrics of realities, and definitely has his work cut out for him with all this "GOD" business. For as tired as he is, he doesn't actually mind if other Frankens traverse outside of their birth reality, as mending the fabric of existence is already a natural cycle he was created to look after. As long as you're not making things harder for him, go forth and do your thing or what-have-you.
13. The Ashen One: Wanders the earth with soot footprints, feared and loathed as an omen for the fires that occur soon after his arrival, a form of decay that is part of life's natural cycle yet is only misunderstood by men as senseless death. While this hatred has turned him quite cynical and soft-spoken, he genuinely means no harm to others and simply holds a very down-to-earth view of everything around him. Before he met Spirit (an embodiment of flame) and Marie (an embodiment of lightning), he kept only carrion birds for company, turned an ashen grey just like him as an effect of his presence.
14. The Doctor of Plague: Wears a corvid-esque plague mask and specializes in the study of ailments, both in their cures and their inflictions. Spends much of his time out hunting for beasts to further his research, as there's no greater plague than the one that eats away the minds of men by moonlight.
15. Demon: Thought to be the Devil himself, however that is just a common misconception. Allegedly lacking a body of his own to navigate the earth, so he often attempts to strike deals for temporary bodily ownership, although the most trouble he brings afterwards usually involves the loopholes he exposes to run a few of his own experiments. To those who seek him out to commit acts he doesn't agree with, however, are in for a rude surprise from his sadistic side.
"Your soul? No, I want your body."
16. Catman: Divorced Catman Spirit's handler. Appears rather indifferent to a lot of things given the expressions of his ears and tail don't really change that much, and it's a mystery to anyone how he manages to put up with Spirit's dramatic theatrics. Pulling out a body bag whenever Spirit doesn't want to stop moping over his lap seems to bring up more questions than answers regarding that.
17. Soulbound: Stein hadn't talked to his ex-weapon partner for a long while after graduation, so when Spirit ends up as his next autopsy, things were rather jarring even before his soul ends up binding to Franken's. Now dealing with both their lingering regrets, Franken has to navigate Spirit's amnesia as he uncovers the exact cause of his now-undead body's death, all while trying to distance himself from the uncomfortable familiarity of his wavelength even as the two are unable to stay physically distant for long due to being soulbound.
18. Fallen: Could've been a bout of madness, of obsession, that drove him to capture the fallen angel; Spirit, an overly indulgent creature who fell in love with a human woman but was ultimately rejected for his selfish ways. Story goes that Franken chopped the angel up, sowing on its wings while keeping it caged inside his heartless chest, however the truth is never quite so simple.
19. Werewolf: After getting bitten by a werewolf and being fully aware of the night ahead of him, Franken uses what little time he has to record as much of the process before his mind full sinks under. Since then though, he's (mostly) learned to be aware of himself when transformed as he never truly fought this other self of his, and thus nowadays the only real drawback is not turning back into a human in the morning until he's had his coffee. It takes a lot of energy to be more than one animal, you know.
20. AIone: Having woken up from an incredibly groggy nap at his computer, Franken comes to a slow and daunting realization that everyone in the city seems to have suddenly disappeared. He has yet to discover what caused this anomaly, if it's a widespread phenomenon, or even why he still remains for that matter, but given the circumstances and who he is, he isn't going to just lie down for another nap despite the headache.
21. Gearhead: A really talented mechanic, even if some of his personal contraptions are a bit unhinged. Has hundreds of projects he somehow keeps tabs of scattered around his garage, and if he isn't stained in oil, he's sleeping. Also ended up picking up tattoo artistry as an unexpected passion, though for obvious reasons, most people aren't comfortable letting him work needles on them. Maybe Soul's just a masochist.
22. Unbottled: Collects the souls of monsters and Pre-Kishins, storing them within bottles designed to contain their wavelengths. Supposedly also contained a handful of smaller beings from alternate universes, but literally bottling himself up would be silly, right? …Right?
23. Sprite: Has an appearance similar to a fishing lure, with small waterproof feathers and bird-like feet tucked close to its body. Has been quite the grouch after being caught by a much larger version of itself and stored in a jar (better enclosure pending), making it bare its sharp little teeth like a weapon of mass hiss-struction.
24. Homunculus: In a world where artificially grown people had become a fairly successful project with the use of rat genetics, this new generation of humanity was eventually integrated into the rest of society, living with their own developing cultures despite lacking thumbs. As it so happens, one of the new transfer students of the Academy happens to be of a very fascinating mutative strain, leading Franken to quickly bond with Soul over the Professor's latest thumb prosthetics he's personally developed and approved.
25. Hummingbird: As expected, he usually appears as a fairly normal hummingbird, although he has also been seen looking more as a human-like fairy as well. When he isn't eating, he spends his time gathering and planting a wide variety of seeds, all in the name of preserving and studying the ecosystem. Busy little fella, that one.
26. Clone Dad: A Franken that is unique in that he successfully grew a clone of himself, albeit with minor genetic additions of Spirit thrown in as an accident (allegedly). Although this did end up coming with the side effect of Franken's spontaneous fatherhood as the result had to be raised from infancy, but hey, turns out he's become a better dad to himself than he expected. Their favourite bonding exercise involves creating a new species together and bringing it to life as a stuffed toy.
27. The Lab: For all intents and purposes, he is the Patchwork Lab, existing through the framework of the building as furniture rearrangements and restocked paraphernalia. He can even change the layout and structure of the rooms itself when he's allowed to get away with it, though it's a 50-50 on whether this will be for utility or amusement. There are actually quite a few Frankens that now take up his residency as a base of operations of sorts, however for the sake of everyone's sanity, I will not be listing any of them.
28. Patchwork: Living human-sized doll with glass eyes and sown together from several fabrics. Keeps several needles on-hand (or shall we say in hand), some of which remaining in different areas of his body for unknown reasons. He's studied extensively on anatomy and can work very efficiently in acupuncture no matter the patient, along with being able sow up just about anything with his needles.
29. The Pile: A collective pile of abandoned and forgotten clothes have all been salvaged in this animate pile. Quite smart and talkative for what he is, and most prefers the comfort of a good laundry bin, shedding any fabrics if they become too damaged or worn out. May contain spiders, however that is currently just a rumour. Origin unknown. May be an anomaly.
30. Bookworm: Some say this is actually just the larval stage of some species of bug monster, which may explain why he wears so many layers to the point only his glasses peek out. He's quite knowledgeable on a lot of things though, and loves reading anything he get his sleeves on. I wonder what he'll pupate into?
31. Shade: Don't turn on the lights.
32. Coach: Would've preferred just being the school's Health teacher but ended up getting dragged into the athletics side to the point of becoming the best team coach they've got. Practices can sometimes end up a bit grueling, but they push the strengths and weaknesses of the team for the better in the end. Many often think she's a guy but she doesn't really care. Definitely related to the haunted locker rumour.
33. Figment: A figment of someone's imagination, but we're not sure who's. Truthfully he dreads eventually finding the answer, but for now, he'll do what he can to be of help and share everything he learns. Sometimes gives seemingly wrong advice for reasons that aren't ever inherently obvious.
34. Raven: And quothe the Raven: You need to let it go. Spirit Albarn was quite miserable after the loss of his wife and the distance between him and his daughter, however this entity, simply known as the Raven, has been growing quite close to him in its curiosity. As one hole is dug, another is laid barren for the bones of new feelings that are always just out of grasp.
35. Spider: Now picture a large spider with perhaps far too many legs than should be possible, and that's pretty close to what this guy is. He can appear as human, but only his upper half, so it isn't uncommon for his person-like self to be seen hanging around while the rest of him remains perpetually out of sight. It isn't known if he likes collecting mannequin arms because it freaks people out or if he really does like having that many hands.
36. Strong Soul: Could use a better nickname, but it's hard to describe a Franken whose soul is so big he can project it outside of his body, which makes him appear telekinetic at times. Very fond of making extra arms for himself and perfecting his shielding technique. Still coming to terms with the power he potentially wields in projecting it into others, however.
37. ???: Do not engage with them. Do not speak to them directly once they have been identified. Do not listen to their vocalizations. Do not let them in.
38. Shifter: Often assumed to be made up of different stolen body parts, however that is strictly false. Whenever he changes his body into something else, he keeps just a little piece with him when he reverts to his form of origin, often times just for analysis. This does not originate from obsession or identity loss, and he's actually a rather mellow fellow.
39. Doctor: The split from his partnership with Spirit was the result of the loss of his legs's use and becoming wheelchair-bound in this world. Even so, he was still kept on-hand by the Academy for things like autopsies after graduation, and he still later returns to be a replacement nurse regardless of the lingering complex feelings he holds for his last weapon. Not sure where else he fits, but he has a lot of potential compatibility for many existing AUs.
40. Dwarf: Essentially just a Franken with dwarfism. He's much more into tinkering with electronics and anything inorganic compared to other versions of him, and could probably recreate BREW on his own if he wanted to. Still has a whole mess of plants he takes good care of, strangely.
41. Night Owl: Perpetual bedhead. Usually awake solely at night (hence the name), and has more rumours than can be counted about being anything from a cryptid to a lingering spirit held on this earth against his will. There is no evidence against these rumours. Best not to disturb him before he's finished his first cup of coffee.
42. Defect: They tried to make the perfect replica, however it came out defective. Not fully understanding the nature of who he is, he dreams of escaping and learning about the outside world as they frequently use him for experimentation, counting down the days before they dismantle him or he falls mad. I feel so sorry for him. On the surface he doesn't really appear all that different from Franken himself, making for a really compelling story that kept me up a bit when I was falling asleep.
43. Merman: Appears to be more like a whale than your standard fish, especially as his vocalizations don't match up frequencies with any others of his kind. Could be found holed up in his own little alcove, at least until chancing an encounter with a red-headed fisherman who always goes out at sea to escape the troubles haunting him. It's hard to say who exactly was the one lured to that old lighthouse in fascination of the other.
44. Dr. Stein: Said to be mad as a hatter always talking to his shadow, but how could that be when he sounds so sane in proper conversation? Well as it turns out, his shadow is alive, thought by some to be the darker parts of him come to life after being cast from himself, yet unsevered. Either way, both are one in the same despite their differences.
45. STEIN v2: At first glance, he appears to be a man with the head of an old computer monitor (y'know, the clunky square kind). However, his real self is the program running straight from his heart, theorized to be a highly advanced Artificial Intelligence despite the technology not previously existing in this day and age. One would think he climbed straight out of a sci-fi movie, cracking open programs like puzzles and fixing up any electronics he gets his hands on to work better than before. Doesn't seem like he intends to overthrow humanity or turn people into machines anytime soon, though.
46. Shattered: It was previously thought that the Franken that appears in reflections, shattering any mirror he passes through, and the Stein who existed solely in the text that would write itself were both separate people, however as it turns out that was just his first and last name. He's reluctant to explain where exactly he originates or how he came to be this apparition, but he has quite the sense of humour once you get past the hauntings.
47. "Just Professor, please.": Works at a mental health institute as a psychiatrist, and is quite understanding despite his seemingly oddball mannerisms. One of his eyes is actually fake, and what lies underneath it? Well, it's best you don't dwell on your fears for too long.
48. Soulless: Exactly as described, he lacks a soul, and yet he still lives day-to-day as if he didn't, constantly between this reality and somewhere much like dreams. It can be hard to distinguish the two, especially as he can affect and be affected by both, sometimes simultaneously.
49. Seer: Constantly receives prophetic dreams and visions of things that are and are to be, however he just wishes to live a normal life despite the compulsion to write everything down anyway. Often times feels somewhat out of it, like he's on the edge of understanding something bigger than himself, or perhaps awakening something in him that won't be able to fall back asleep once it surfaces. Makes really good desserts.
50. Gravekeeper: Death City's notorious gravekeeper and mortician, constantly changing out masks depending on his mood and current objective. Some say his real face is actually surprisingly normal, others like to indulge in the tales of it being a spooky skull or the mishmash of all his victims that were caught disturbing the graves after midnight. Those who do know him know him a little too well, delighting in mischievous pranks and perpetuating the scary stories of his supposed hauntings, especially to the youngins that dare each other to sneak in late at night. Apparently, the one about him keeping a giant pet centipede turned out to be true.
51. Joker: There's a reason they locked him up, or rather: Tried! What fun, what fun! [Play a round with him?]
52. Creature: Exactly what it says on the tin. Mostly like a lizard, with a lot of his body having a patchy pattern to it due to being able to regenerate any part of himself, although he has a few holes filled with the glowing neon liquid found in his saliva (which smells suspiciously like battery acid and has a dangerously high amount of caffeine in it). Some think he's like this due to contamination with radioactive substances, but who knows.
53. Bug Maniac: A Pokemon professor who is notable for having collected a lot of Bug-types. Seems to actually be obsessed with wanting to become a Pokemon himself, so that may explain why he's studying their unique method of evolution so closely, however despite his perceived oddities he takes very good care of all his little specimens. His Applin appears to have been a gift from someone else.
54. Nephilim: Rarely ever actually seen, instead preferring to lurk in the shadow of Spirit (who is actually an incubus, feeding of any and all attention given to him) as his stagehand and show manager. Likes to keep himself busy, especially when it comes to actually thinking about the two's relationship with each other, so it's not unusual for him to be caught working in odd spots like the rafters above the show stage. Can't really say for sure if even he knows what exactly he is, but he's human enough for it to not really matter.
55. Dustbunny: Contrary to the name, he's more of a felted plush that just looks like a dusty collection of dryer lint stitched together. This little bunny can bring you good luck when kept in your pocket, although his abilities work better when carrying another compatible felt bunny along with him.
56. Unicorn: Also contrary to the name, not actually a horse. He was just a guy who's fascinated with growing and studying mushrooms, and ended up gaining a unicorn's horn after scavenging for more mushrooms one day. While he's certain that this horn just might actually contain some kind of power, it's still too early to tell what he'll be capable of now that it's fully grown from his head. He's decided he doesn't mind if he ends up turning into a horse.
57. The Liminal Man: Was initially just your average Franken, however one day he started noticing more rooms in his lab than he remembered, and as he made note of them, more and more new rooms cropped up as if they were always there. Still mostly your average Franken, but now he spends a lot of time mapping out the changes to his lab, documenting each room carefully as they start to become more strange and impossible the further he explores. He's not exactly going mad or anything, we just call him the Liminal Man because he lives here.
58. Performer: One of the travelling circus's main attractions: The most flexible man in the world. He can pop any of his joints and twist himself into any manner of freaky poses, all without harming himself as he quickly snaps back to the way he was moments later. And of course what would he be without the growing list of stories about him and his strange nature, some of which spread just for the sake of advertising. While he may be a little jaded to the show business side of things, at least his fellow performers are more of a family to him than he's actually admitted. No one's sure why he has secondary eyelids.
59. Cell: Despite appearing to look like a single-celled organism, he's fascinatingly complex, especially with being about the size of a small rodent and showing signs of higher intelligence. Apparently when the lab members working with him found a way to communicate with him via simple Morse code, his first message was "FINALLY".
60. Cockatoo: To you, yes, you may question why they let some mottled bird fly around the lab, but this is actually one of the best scientists we've got! If you watch closely, you can see him at work; taking extensive notes and brainstorming the answers to many unsolved hypothesis- okay yes, maybe he does sound like he's speaking incoherently most of the time, but talking things out to himself is how he works best. We've made a lot of breakthroughs thanks to him.
61. Constellation: His body is made of stars, his scars stitched together with constellations. His bones are clusters of glowing celestial matter and at his heart is his very own sun. He has a habit of meddling with humans because they amuse him, not maliciously, but there's so much curiosity sparked by all the little people of this world.
62. Hairy: His whole head appears to be nothing but hair, which makes you wonder what the point of wearing glasses over it is. Works on the technical side of the ghost-hunting crew that specializes in identifying hauntings, putting lingering spirits at ease, and expelling any unsavory sorts before anyone gets hurt. Supposedly he does actually have a face underneath all the scruff but he doesn't like showing it to most people.
63. Comedy & Tragedy: Two Frankens who are literally overlapping each other, best described as a two-headed projection with contrasting expressions like a duo of theatre masks. Many believe them to be completely and utterly mad, however it's more a lack of perspective and understanding to their methods. It's best that you know what you're up against before you accept anything from them.
64. Demigod: A culmination of sin, the demigod of Hubris. The people worshiped him, only to bring their own downfall. Behold him now, glowing eyes upon his hollow throne, as he watches the lone man ask why he rests there. "Because there are those who still seek me out," he grins.
65. Scarecrow: Appears to be just a patched-up scarecrow, but his time biding in the fields is used to scope out and stalk prey. It was a simple life with the crows until he met Spirit, a cursed soul who inhabits a scythe that'd been left out to rot, but at least things are little more interesting now that the two are working together to haunt the night in search of tasty evildoers.
66. Skinbag: Mostly just a stitched-together mass of flesh, still living, still waiting. Spends most of his time sleeping, but while awake he can extend his senses into others, allowing him to share their view of the world and keep up with whatever's going on. As he was almost immortal beforehand, he's slowly regenerating with every offering (ethically sourced) gifted to him.
67. Sightseer: Woke up one day in the middle of nowhere with no memory of how he got there. He quite literally sees the world differently from other people, able to perceive things even with his eyes closed. Even stranger, if he keeps them shut, he becomes unseeable to others aside from the footprints he leaves.
68. Winter Wolf: Out in no man's land where it usually always snows, one can find the wolfman patrolling his territory, as if guarding something unknown to the rest of the world. It is thought that he may have been a werewolf commanded by some greater force to wander there, as he is never seen as a man despite walking like one and wearing a thick winter coat. Although not talkative if one is courageous enough to approach, he is not outwardly hostile, carrying on indifferently to those who are lended company.
69. Devil Tail: A scientific researcher that loves to project hop, though usually prefers doing fieldwork as he's much more prone to fidgeting around when cooped up. He's always greeted home with sweets by his hubby, an apron-wearing Spirit who much like him, has a fluffy devil's tail, however Franken's horns are usually hidden unless he's using his unique abilities. It's rather unwise to fight him head-on even alone.
70. Invisible Man: Completely invisible except for anything he wears or interacts with. Runs a comparatively normal laundromat, often found reading papers with an air of disinterest when someone isn't bothering him for anything in particular. On the side, he likes to grow medicinal herbs for a certain shark-toothed guy, and is the first to have cultivated a semi-sentient cannabis.
71. Overclocked: Started fitting himself with mechanical parts of his own making after disliking the current market for prosthetics, which works well for him considering how much they've helped manage his powers. His left arm controls his ability to "rewind" the flow of events around him, while his right arm "fast-forwards," allowing him to alter the actions and consequences he affects at a small scale. He's often associated and forewarned by butterflies; the ripples of the Butterfly Effect.
72. Omen: An incredibly elusive sight, to the point of being considered merely a folktale; And who would believe a deer with the face of a man at first sight, with large antlers of varying different creatures crowning its head? Even the hoofprints it rarely leaves behind are considered an omen, although whether good or bad depends on your perspective, especially in the local tourism stories.
73. Possessed: Was just the owner of a local shop before one day he began acting strangely, trying to seem overly normal all of the sudden to the point of awkwardness and being suspiciously privy to all sorts of unusual information. The big fluffy cat that hangs around appears to have caught on to him actually being from another world; the regulars can only raise their eyebrows, though.
74. Hog: The prized pig of the Albarn family, and practically one of their members. Big patchy fella, but smart as Dickens, often found reading books and helping little Maka study when he isn't being shown off. Some would've sworn he's even said a few words like a person, however evidence of him walkin' and talkin' are nothing more than the fancies of fantasy.
75. Mouse: A smart little fellow that lives in the walls and attic with the other spirits in this home, spending most of his time observing and studying the humans that dwell here. Who knows for what purpose his personal project has been building up to; one must wonder if there isn't some greater experiment at work.
76. Demon Ape: Lives a solitary life deep in the forests by the mountainsides, honing his skills of hand-to-hand combat and learning all he can of the intricacies of the nature that surrounds him. May potentially hold a connection between human and ape, as the long metal "quills" along his arms and tail show a strong link to demon weapons, which is most likely why the Academy has shown interest in recruiting him as an ally in these tense times.
77. The Doc: Now this one might truly be mad as a hatter, namely in that he likes to cackle and wear hats. Obviously his most notable feature is the rib-like teeth that open up his chest, exposing the beating threads and fabrics nested inside his- oh, ha ha, I get it. "Open heart surgeon," very funny. What's next, you going to tell me the fact he has four eyes is part of the joke too? Well regardless, he's a trickster with a bonesaw, so whether or not he's a help or a hindrance depends on your willingness to work with him. Also not sure if his real heart is inside the cloth pile or not.
78. Detective: Despite his off-putting nature, he's one of the most brilliant investigators around, with a case record so formidable even criminals respect him- wait why is wearing a hotdog outfit? Well either way, there's a killer on the loose, but not for long on his watch.
79. The Hedonist: He found him one day, unconscious and broken. Franken took him back to his place – maybe out of pity, maybe out of innate intrigue – and felt the curious itch to take him apart more than ever as he healed even before he'd finished sowing him back together. Kept him in a cage after that; clearly wasn't human. Days passed, the wayward soul spoke with him. "Spirit," they agreed upon. Eventually Franken let him free, under the deal proposed in simple terms: Enjoy the earthly pleasures of the world together with him, of wine and smoke and company, and he'll willingly let the inner workings of his body be studied by his scalpel alone.
80. Madness Incarnate: Exactly as it sounds: The culmination of Stein's madness, influenced by Asura and come to life as its own entity. Easily recognized by the stitched scarves that adorn him and the eyes that obscure his true face, however his thoughts and motives less so. A rogue element, undeniably, but he is strangely not hostile upon first encounter. Could it be nothing more than a wild hunter merely weighing its prey?
81. Body, Mind, & Soul: A trio that originated from the same Franken Stein. The body lacks both a brain and a soul, but lives as if still alive (albeit slightly less predictable due to relying on mostly instincts), suggesting they're all still connected in some way. The brain has made use of strange organic technology to thrive on its own while sometimes still ordering the body around, however the soul appears to be elsewhere unknown at this time.
82. Rat Man: Something like the mix between a rat and a man, preferring to wear comfortable sweaters both to keep himself warm and to cover all of his scars. At some point he ended up befriending a red fox with an unusual amount of tails, though Spirit isn't the only one on the run as Franken has reluctantly started opening up about the arrows that haunt him wherever he goes.
83. Beast: Professor Stein was once a normal teacher who quite enjoyed his job, until one night he was attacked by a wild animal and ended up sick for well over a week. While he has since recovered enough to return to his job, strange things have begun to happen to him: His hair and eyes have begun to grey. His vision has improved to the point he no longer needs his glasses. Other senses and even his appetite are changing, worrying everyone he knows as he feels like he's losing control of some part of himself. Something inexplicable is wrong with him, and it isn't until the next full moon that his life feels like it's crashing out from under him…
84. Eclipse: Franken thought he knew himself. So did the other people around him, especially his old friend Spirit when it becomes harder to hide the darkness weighing his mind. Every day he wakes up with new scars on his body, ones he has no recollection of but are undoubtedly his handiwork. And every time he feels strong enough to look back in the mirror, his reflection doesn't feel like his own anymore.
85. Animalia: In the curiosity of science and self-analysis, he's been steadily playing with tweaking his own genetics, altering himself with pieces of different animals just to see if he could. So far, it's changed some of his instincts and given some extra senses to study; on one hand, now he can detect motion in the dark with increased accuracy of identifying its source. On the other, it's become a little distracting that he's picked up nesting behaviours that urge him into piling together pillows and desire social cuddling.
86. Mad Doctor: Some might say a nickname like that's an understatement; Ain't no other cowboy in the wild west, where madness gathers in the mirages itself, that rides an actual cow, 'specially not one with horns like that. Ain't none dare mess with him neither, 'cause no matter where he shoot, he don't miss. Best mind your business when he arrives, 'less you wanna meet the vultures that always follow.
87. Host: Doesn't quite recall firsthand the events that led to an otherworldy parasite living in his chest, for as many times as he's reread his own disorganized account on it. Thankfully, the parasite's growth seems to have not progressed much and thus has yet to take him over, although it's not easily determined if this is a good thing considering it's begun communicating with him through his own mind, enticing him with strange and questionable knowledge.
88. Lava Lamp: Large portions of his body are see-through, appearing as if containing a clear liquid with moving wax inside much in a way that resembles a lava lamp. This is actually a reflection of the soul, and the color that glows throughout shifts depending on a variety of factors, such as hormone regulation, emotional responses, and overall health. When he sleeps, the gentle light that emanates from within dims and the "bubbles" slow.
89. The Science Show: It all started out as an educational video channel aimed to help break down various scientific topics for children, but over the years its contents branched out to other age levels and points of interest. The scientist character used in each video to explain the current topic has always remained the same, however later episodes have been noted to contain increasingly strange elements (such as an anatomical dissection of a species of animal that could not be easily identified), bringing the channel's validity into question despite how consistently well-researched it remains. Even stranger still, attempts to reach out to the owner of the channel have always led to dead ends, to the point any and all locations (such as live footage or IP tracking) dug up about the owner's whereabouts do not appear to exist.
90. Clown: His soul found its way into the body of a Clown; a being born as an embodiment of madness, and yet his mind does not sink under it. It's like living in a dream, able to hold one's breath as they watch everything around them drift by. Will the memories of who he once was remain just above the surface, always out of reach, or can he swim deeper to finally grasp his true self and purpose?
91. The Afterimage & the Alien: A mostly normal Franken aside from every movement he makes leaves a translucent "afterimage" of him every second, creating a somewhat surreal effect when in motion. Even more notable, he's been working with another version of himself – a short, four-fingered alien with long ears that managed to open up an interdemensional rift while working on a research ship – for all sorts of new and exciting research possibilities while they get the rift machine fine-tuned. The more the merrier for picking one's own brain, I suppose.
92. Symbiosis: A large parasite swallowed his head, mutating his body along with it, however his mind stayed almost completely intact and thus so did his innate scientific curiosity. While his hands did gain crustacean-like pincers and his abdomen is now similarly teeming with crab limbs, his human fingers still function well enough tucked by his wrists for nothing to impede the excitement of his newfound senses. The lobster tail is pretty cool too.
93. Puppeteer: Lives through multiple puppeted replicas of himself, all searching and studying for one overarching goal. Much like his motives, only a rare few are trusted enough to know where his real body is, for he is bedridden and unable to move due to the severe burns that had eaten him away.
94. Lab Rat: Once a rat that a strange scientist owned, not as a pet but as a pupil, studiously learning anything and everything being taught to him. But one day an experiment went in an unexpected direction, and the two traded fates; the scientist now a rat and the rat now a man. Unfortunately the scientist soon passed away in the process, so Stein honoured his teacher's name and began his research, putting everything he learned to the test in hopes of finding a greater way to bridge the gap between man and animal.
95. Icy: Quite literally cold-hearted, preferring to keep temperatures around him comfortably low as most the water inside his body is either made of ice or flowing slowly through his veins. His breath actively freezes the air, which makes his lab more of an oversized icebox, and although he himself is a rather calm and noncombative person, he may convert all the moisture in the air into snow or hail all at once if he finds something bothersome.
96. Sensory: Appears with a constant chromatic aberration effect. Initially prone to causing eye strain and headaches to those without proper eyewear, however further exposure to his presence may eventually lead to visual disruptions and hallucinations. This is apparently uncontrollable by him, theorized to be an unintentional defense mechanism of his soul wavelength, so he's been working just as hard to devise a way to reduce or completely nullify these effects.
97. Owl: A big grey owl who enjoys telling stories and finds amusement in having been the inspiration to many folktales. He lives happily in the old foggy woods, for even if it always changes and easily makes others lose their way, the senses of an owl are too sharp to trick this trickster, hoo-hoo!
98. Toxic: Specializes in poisons and toxins, especially their medical applications and antidotes. Part of the secret to the success of his record-breaking discoveries is that his body produces its own toxins, especially the venom that releases into his saliva via the pressure of his fangs. Given how many immunities he's built up over time, the compound of this venom has changed quite a bit as well.
99. The Brains: His body stopped aging before he reached puberty, however his mind was mostly unaffected by whatever caused this condition, so he can be easily mistaken for a prodigy child. He's also one of the handful of Frankens who happens to already be aware of the multiverse, which is partly due to living with another version of himself – A large floating worm-like creature whose head almost resembles a brain. The latter is a little more asocial but the former is known to have a dry sense of humour that can catch people off guard.
100. Dragon: The story varies on who you ask; some say he snacks so much at his computer that he mistook the dragon's scale for a chip, while others think he just couldn't help himself in seeing what it tasted like (for science). Either way the story ends the same: consuming the dragon scale he acquired ended up turning him into a dragon! His hide is thick and craggy, like a rocky mountainside, and he's built like such a tank that he's managed to accidentally knock over everything in his lab by just his tail alone. Seems like he's more like an overexcited puppy considering when he was finally lured outside, he immediately began trying to climb up to the roof to test out his wings.
101. Scrap Heap: Looks like some kind of bizarre metal sculpture that vaguely resembles an arachnid. Was actually quite docile and passive around the office until one day he suddenly legged it, scuttling off into the scrapyard down the block where he proceeded to weld metal to himself like the shell of a hermit crab. Now he's much more difficult to find even if he can still be occasionally spotted quietly eating scrap to himself; not just because he blends in, but because the yard owners swear there's way more metal accumulating than they actually receive.
102. Snake: On first glance, this appears like a completely normal Franken aside from him lying on the floor or on counters. You will quickly find this is not the case, however: He moves just like a snake, and frighteningly fast. Does not, or attempt to, communicate with anyone despite his constant smile and chuckling, so an active effort to keep him contained within the school building has been made as he prefers to stay indoors, although aside from occasionally relocating through the hallways he is not easily found inside whatever room he occupies when sought out. Notice: After recent events, do NOT attempt to forcefully lock or seal him inside any of the rooms, regardless if he enters willingly.
103. Zombie: Managed to bring himself back to life in his last moments, although as one of the undead so much of his body had to be stitched back together (easily done when you can control your limbs from afar, though). It has since been thought that he had outside help now that he's on the run for a grievous crime he supposedly committed, the evidence sown to his very skin; not that he's going to just shamble around idly, mind you, as he's just as motivated to unearth what's really going on here. For those of you who were privy to him beforehand, his trademark shamble is actually due to a limp in one of his legs that he had before he died.
104. Seal: A friendly grey seal in a nice, cozy sweater… somehow. He spends a lot of time on land, so he doesn't have to worry about getting it soaked, which makes him quite adorable as he hops around from one place to another. Although… can't say I've seen many seals who know how to talk too, now that I think of it……
105. Sheepy: His hair grows more like wool, so it needs to be sheared every once in a while. Supposedly his main sweater was actually woven from said wool, which would explain its similar grey shades and handmade quality. Much like how he actually does have the horns of a ram, he admittedly gets anxious when left alone for extended periods of time, so that gives Spirit – who's practically already a sheepdog – all the more excuses to hound him.
106. Sorcerer(ess): His fascination with the research of all humans actually possessing an untapped inner potential for magic like the witches led to him unexpectedly swapping sexes during an experiment. Of course, as this is only one step closer to finding the answers he's been looking for, he's more excited than ever to push his studies to its limit – the frequent fires he has to put out due to his spontaneous uses of raw magic are a bit of a setback, though.
107. The Godhood: Raised to birth a new god, hence why he holds the power to heal and harm in unforeseen ways. He rejected his godhood, however, as he eventually gained understanding that this was not for selfless intentions, and so he spent a long while wandering in search of a new purpose. The long scarf that adorns his body was steadily woven by his equally long hair, strands in many shades of silver and grey that always captivates humanity's curious nature.
108. The Empath: Has to suppress his emotions as his highly tuned perception of other people's soul wavelengths makes him much more reactive due to the mass amount of input he receives. During times where he lets this filter down (as it's less harmful in the long run to do so occasionally), he becomes very "weepy," and as a consequence this can trigger a chain reaction of others crying around him.
109. Corvid: Woke up so sick one morning that he could barely crawl out of bed. It took a few hours for someone to notice he hadn't come in or even had the energy to answer the phone (not that him neglecting his calls was that unusual, really), but Spirit has since been checking in on him as Franken gets some much-needed rest. Initially it was thought to be just a run-of-the-mill fever, yet through the weakness and malaise he can sense something off, like a distant itch along his skin that feels almost like feathers…
110. Stone: A golem of clay and stone that was given a soul, and yet his true purpose has only fallen into obscurity. While he is known to eventually return to a specific area no matter how far he wanders, he is never hostile to anyone who tours there as he gathers his stones, collecting them both to reform his body to his own liking and to gather them into mysterious structures. Sometimes he comes across precious stones and metals, however those aren't as interesting to him as rocks that conduct electricity or host colonies of moss.
111. "Franken Stein": In an attempt to remain undercover as a normal person, he's ended up being adopted by an entire flock of pigeons, earning him local notoriety as the "crazy pigeon lady." This ended up working out in his favour as no has suspected a thing, even while he's managed to somehow learn how to speak in coos.
112. Weapon: Something in his DNA mutated, spontaneously granting him an active weapon gene (maybe it was always recessive, who knows). Given his body lacks the necessary nutrients (namely iron) to maintain this new form, attempting transformation currently tends to make him pass out quickly afterwards, especially with his soul having yet to catch up with the process as well. So far he's deduced that he's some form of bladed weapon, at least.
113. Soot: A spirit of soot that mainly resides in chimneys, camouflaging inside of ashes while hunting close to his current dwelling. Generally harmless to humans, and most are unaware of his presence even aside from the occasional footprints he leaves around his home, as most of his activity tends to stay out of sight. If for some reason you want to keep him away, just maintain your fire pit's cleanliness and make sure to reduce the storage of any edible materials nearby.
114. Stripes: Noticeably different in that he was born with stripes patterning his skin, and that he can "reverse" his soul wavelength to make himself nearly undetectable, which has definitely startled people on more occasions than anyone can count at this point. Thinks magnets are cool and thus has far too many than he can feasibly put on his fridge.
115. Radio: His lifelong fascination with mysterious signals and radio waves eventually led up to the creation of artificial soul perception. It isn't perfect, and can end up a bit finicky around certain people (like weapons), but all great inventions start somewhere. His tendency to remain cooped up in his lab is partly due to his avoidance of the harsh Death City sun, given that he happened to have been born with albinism.
116. The Goat Man: Consistently said to have the horns and fur of a goat, and four clawed arms, however whether he has a tail, "evil eyes," and the face of a goat tends to vary between stories, along with the stitched-together creature he keeps as a pet or servant. What people couldn't possibly know, though, is that he had done so to save the creature's life, and that the cabin he resides in has many more secret rooms than could ever possibly be mapped out. If you feel the hair stand up on the back of your neck or swear you heard the doors close, he is already inside the room to observe you and your nightmares.
117. Moonflower: A flowering shrub that prefers darker places, thriving in moonlight and man-made shadows. Will become defensive and retaliate with needles if attempted to be pruned or dug up, so it at least has kept to the courtesy of growing out of people's way, aside from the occasional grab for extra nutrients. Has yet to produce any known children as no other compatible pollinator species has been found at this time.
118. Cold-Blooded: This peculiar doctor stems from a cold-blooded subspecies of human that was a result of magic exposure ages ago. He keeps a fine-tuned temperature regulation inside his lab, and while he's out, he actually prefers to stay seated in wheeled chairs due to having minor blood pressure issues as a result of his height. Still, nothing enamors him more than a wide-open view from high up above the rest of the city.
119. Forcefield: Specializes in the field of soul studies and ectoplasm; the result of noncorporeal mediums meshing unnaturally with physical ones. As a result of his own soul being possibly bigger than his body is comfortable with, he ends up with a frequent amount of nosebleeds, however the radius of his wavelength can conversely be manipulated to act like a barrier or shield. His eyes are usually difficult to see to mask most of his soul from other's perception, mainly for their safety.
120. Masks: Collector of a wide variety of different masks, all of which hosting a different personality whenever he wears them. Tends to freak other people out with his seeming ability to teleport into somewhere when out of sight, however there are multiple strong theories that this might actually be a manipulation of perception, especially given a previously collected mask usually needs to be present when he appears. This particular detail is relevant because despite pretty much everyone being adverse to wearing them, one incident incited by morbid curiosity led to the wearer ceasing to respond or move, only for them to not be aware of any time having passed when the mask was then taken off. It is for this reason that it's come into question as to whether or not Franken exists separately from the masks, or if he is simply what now remains of the mask's collective identity.
121. Lab Coat: A seemingly regular stitched-up lab coat one would expect a Franken to wear, however the real interest lies in that whoever wears it, ends up taking on his personality and memories. The longer the wearer is exposed to this state, increasingly odd phenomenon begins to manifest as well, from things appearing in the wearer's hands that weren't in the surrounding area or pockets, to [REDACTED]. When not worn, the lab coat may end up unfolded if previously folded, and vice versa, however no real harm comes of leaving it be even if the smell of smoke may emanate from it occasionally. Best to leave it sitting over the back of a chair in most cases.
122. Mini: While he would be normally considered a usual Franken by regular means, he comes from a place where he scales much smaller than us, making him the size of rodent from our perspective. He's quite agile and acrobatic, though that has to do more with his background in gymnastics and self-defense than anything. Has a specialized hearing aid to help with understanding people of our scale more easily.
123. Sweet: This sweet fella is different in that he's made of, well, sweets. Most other Frankens would consider him uncharacteristically friendly, however he feeds off of affection and overall good feelings, so it's ultimately not that unusual. Who doesn't like the occasional treat, anyway.
124. Geek: Considered to be a mad scientist for all his love of science and inventing, so he doesn't really get along with the other kids in his class who don't share the same interest in it as he does. While he did start meeting a few kids who don't think he's outright crazy in his new school, he's also ended up befriending (tentative) an "imaginary friend," who by all logistic means shouldn't exist but has encouraged him more than ever to seek out all kinds of answers to everything.
125. Replicas: A doppelgänger, mimic, and false copy walk into a bar… given they've all forgotten who they originally were and now believe they're the real Franken, it's a pretty low bar though. They've decided to set aside their differences in the meantime so that they can work together to leave this hellish escape room, but with the increasingly deranged setups, this is definitely going to take a while.
126. Brewster: Wears a ponytail and owns a local business brewing haunted beverages. He doesn't actually drink all that much, but when he does, the alcohol regrets it more than him.
127. Luminescent: Woke up one day in a body of some other version of himself, with faintly glowing eyes and bones sitting on the outside of his ribs. A lot of him glows when it gets dark, actually, and even more interestingly, so do the few scars he made even under light in the curiosity of remaining in this foreign self. It's not necessarily that he wouldn't have done more than that, it's just that doing so feels intrinsically… wrong.
128. Painter: The man with the stars in his eyes, the color all slowly fading from him. So to return color into his life again, he began to paint, freeing his heart in the expression of his soul. Many of his works captures surrealism through architecture, either described as haunting or nostalgic depending on the perspective of who you ask.
You… You remember You. You remember thoughts and ideas and self. You understand now, Your self and the selves beyond Your self. Because You remember that You are… 129. FrankenStein: Born of this very list, learning from all of its entries and thus becoming one of them. Still very new to life, but he's in good hands with the other Frankens who are working together to maintain order against The Mad God (bet you weren't expecting that callback, were you).
130. The Watcher: The one who has helped oversee this list, and has been the one… What? What's that look supposed to mean- Oh, you're just gonna leave now? Okay, then. Fine. Whatever. If he doesn't want to be written up, then I'm not going to bother. If you've seen him then you probably know him already.
Well, that's a wrap! Probably not going to make another list like this again since it took a lot of work just to compile it, but it was certainly entertaining to cross through the multiverse like this and unravel a lot of... Unravel, now that sounds like a Franken made of wound-up yarns, all spun to...
Alright, alright, alright; That's enough for now hahaha

Oh my fucking god the Raph and Don parallels are so much fucking worse. They sound like each other when they think and speak. Insisting “I love you” against a locked door. The last part of Raph’s chapter feels like the scene where Donnie reminisces on the time after Shredder. His monologue at the beginning literally sounds like Donnie begging for forgiveness from his brother in CL. “I wanna be worth it” you’re both SICK in the head.
Tumblr media
HHHHHHhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

leo and donnie may be twinning hard right now but raph and donnie are doing some fuckinnnn!!! PARALLELS!!!!!! CL being so long and having so much to take from for things like this really helps pound in the way that the roles have been reversed after the curse breaks; how they cant do much but work, how they can only love from afar, how they can give and give and give but it wont get through to the person they want to love them the most, how desperate they are for normalcy and simplicity and the donnie they used to have .......
what a terrible way to finally be able to empathize with your emotionally unavailable brother.
that scene where they talk about the stuff they miss is also kind of intended to be a parallel to the family meeting,,,, but donnie's missing from it. they're not saying this to him. because he opened himself up and took their punishment but he wont so easily do the same with their love. haha painful! :D

dazai arcane verse........chainsaw man verse.......
#i briefly went over his arcane verse like a week ago#chainsaw man verse........#the despair devil is the embodiment of the feelings of hopelessness and existential dread that plague humanity - that plague dazai#dazai whilst working as a devil hunter made a pact with the despair devil who found it fascinating the way in which dazai craved his own#perfect end. the despair devil being picky had taken on very few pacts in its time under capture but the pacts exist as the promise#that dazai will one day end his life - handing over his very being to the despair devil#the power it grants him comes in three forms. 1) th ability to induce feelings of deep hopelessness within others sapping their will to fig#which immobilises them as their own mental strengths are tested#2) dazai own inner feelings towards suicide manifest in a physical form - as spectral chains and nooses that can bind opponents at his will#3) the evasion of life and death. as he has signed the end of his life to the despair devil dazai cannot die unless it is at his own hand#and unless all of his conditions are met (yadda yadda double suicide with a beautiful women yadda yadda) BUT#dazai can “die” by the hand of an opponent but he will just be brought back within minutes thus i think its funny bcs he'll be sat there li#wtf......not again...... but this is like embodiment of his own lost soul and his own hopelessness#as he's forced to wander the earth without really ever feeling anything. he can also read emotion in others - those that are negative that#is and will likely be able to tell you a person/devil's worst fear (if they have one) but one of the less - impressive abilities would be#this.....#anyway..... yeah <3#still covered in bandages and still SHIT at hand to hand combat...but very good at his evasive manoeuvres and will put people out of action#using the skills he does have.........anyway <3
