Hail, True Body Robotic!AU!
AAAAALLLRIGHTY! So, to start, I’d just like to make one thing clear: the original version of this is Hail, True Body by mustangs-flames, which you can check out here. With that out of the way, heeeres the AU!
What is it?
Overall, it’s a pretty simple concept: humans are still humans, but the mimics are now robots. That’s the most basic summary of it.
What are the mimics like?
The mimics were made by Lucifer(the original post about the AU said Gabriel, but I’m changing it to fit better with HTB) to just… wipe out humanity. Yeah. Lucifer’s still a priest, but he’s also an engineer in his spare time. The basement of the church is his workshop, so don’t be nervous if there’s some mechanical noises down there. Nothing’s alive in it, after all. The mimics themselves look somewhat humanoid in that they have a (mostly) human silhouette. It can change depending on the mimic. For example, some can have wings, animal-like features, digitigrade legs, paws, claws, several arms, more than two eyes, more than(or less than) one mouth… the list goes on. They do have a few similarities: all of them have glowing eyes in their unmodified forms, all of them can shapeshift, and all of them range from dark gray to pitch black. They can change size, too, so it usually just depends on what’s most convenient/comfortable for the mimic. Mimics are solar, emotion, and soul powered, and they need at least a small amount of all three to properly function. A mimic is made out of thousands of tiny little pieces(which, in its unmodified form, just stick together to look like your standard humanoid android that doesn’t trigger the uncanny valley), so it has to rearrange those pieces and use camouflage technology to shapeshift. The only way you can tell if a human is actually a mimic in disguise is if you shine an ultraviolet light into their eyes. If their eyes become brighter, then that’s a mimic.
(To kill a mimic, you have to hit its central processing unit. Typically, that unit is spread out, so you’d have to essentially destroy the entire mimic to kill it. However, the more human a mimic feels, the more its unit condenses into two specific areas: the middle of the chest and the head.)
What about the main cast?
All the same, surprisingly. The only differences are as follows:
•Adam is EXTREMELY well-built. Liam spent the most time on him, so his camouflage and modifying systems work without Adam having to think about it at all.
•Mimic!Cesar’s true form is different. I’ll be taking suggestions in my ask box for his design, and eventually there will be a poll. :] •Mark starts studying the mimics more before he kills them, and eventually that leads to him becoming interested in engineering. •Mimics are hand-built, but sometimes Lucifer just… slams some details in there. For no reason. The mimic’s designs are so extra.
•Cian likes to bake in this AU. Just a little detail! :] (he likes lemons.)
•The human Cesar always was a bit interested in the mimics. He was in Applied Technology all throughout middle and high school, but unfortunately he never got to actually see a mimic. I mean, he did, but it saw him first.
So, uh, yeah! That’s about it! Lemme know if you have any questions, and please have a wonderful rest of your day/night! Remember to drink water!
Hail, True Body Robotic!AU: roboticmimic!Adam, explained!
So, in the Robotic!AU, Adam’s still a mimic, just a very well-built mimic. What this means is that Adam’s true form is:
Pretty humanoid in shape, size, and features
Similar to his human form in the terms of eye color, hairstyle, and height
Difficult to get into, easy to get out of.
So, that would mean that Azrael built Adam so that it would be much more difficult for him to go into his true form, and if that did happen, then he’d go back to his human form quite easily. As stated in the main post for this AU, Adam’s camouflage works without him thinking about it, which is fairly self-explanatory. That does take more processing power than the regular system, which is why he has to eat and sleep like a human to help get that “fuel” he needs. The only things that would out him as a robot would be that his body temperature is cooler than the average human’s, and that his emotions are… flat. But those are also normal human traits, so unless if you were certain that he’s a mimic, you wouldn’t pay attention to those little details.
I want to take your robots apart and put them back together.
You can share anything you want about the AU, I love it all. Maybe if you have random notes, you could share that? Or unorganized facts floating around in your head that you didn't get to write down yet?
Feel free to disassemble them! Just make sure to reassemble them correctly, otherwise some unforeseen issues might occur. :)
Also, thank you so much for the ask and the kind words! I really appreciate it! :D
So, uh… yeah, here’s everything I thought of for the AU! This is kinda long but, uhhh… enjoy!
•The mimics can overheat just like every other kind of electronic. However, it’s pretty rare, since their coolant systems are very well made. But it still happens enough for there to be a slight decrease of mimic encounters during the summer months.
•Eve always thought that something was a little off about Adam, but she never mentioned it. She thought it was some sort of mental condition, or maybe he just didn’t understand people well enough. There was always something robotic about him, after all.
•Mimic!Cesar hates the taste of water with a passion. He will only drink it if A. Somebody’s making him do it, B. It’s in a very specific kind of cup, and/or C. It’s cold.
•When mimics get their fight, flight, or freeze “instinct” triggered while they’re in their true forms, they usually change shape or size to fit the situation. If it’s a fight, then the mimic makes itself larger and packs its CPU farther into its body. If it’s a flight, then the mimic makes itself smaller, and therefore harder to hit. If it’s a freeze, then the mimic puts its CPU farther into its body like it would in a fight scenario, but it also closes any gaps that might exist in its form.
•Sam wants to study mimics, but also keep them as far away as humanly possible. He wants to know what they are and how they function, but he also wants to wipe them off the face of the earth. Gotta love the contradictions!
•Mimics just don’t get the concept of gender. At all. They know that pronouns are used to refer to people, but they don’t know how those pronouns are connected to a person’s body. After all, they’re just… metal. And you know for a fact that Liam didn’t give them the knowledge of middle school health class. This in the mimics either using the default it/its pronouns, using whatever pronouns their current/previous form used before switching when they change forms, or just using certain pronouns because they like the sound.
•Cian has an apron with lemons on it. It’s white. He also has a pair of matching oven mits. Plus, he makes lemon related food way too often.
•Mark has a comically large wrench the Sam gave him for his birthday once that he uses specifically for impolitely disassembling mimics. Bonk.
•Mimic!Cesar completely freaks out once he figures out how humans age and why it happens. It still scares him.
•Mark called mimic!Cesar things like “useless hunk of metal,” “pile of nuts and bolts” and constantly referring to him as an “it” or treating him like an object. Which he technically is, but he’s… y’know. Sentient. Which means he isn’t an object. But he’s also a robot…
•Mimics can cause power failures at will. However, for some reason, it’s easier to do involuntarily.
But, uh, yeah! That’s about it! Have a wonderful rest of your day/night and remember to stay hydrated! :] <3
