you add a bunch of genes to a human and what do you get?

a big monter fish lady

anyways, this is Crane after a substantial amount of damage/time. as it turns out giving a human that's been heavily genetically modified regeneration levels of a planarian isn't a great idea, but the idea was there!

[cyanide-cafe]

Yes!! She actually has a significant amount of lore. She's one of my more fleshed-out Pressure characters :] Born in 1965, [REDACTED] "Crane" Sorrows was born into a family with a long, disastrous past of prion disease. For those unaware, prion diseases are neurodegenerative diseases caused by misfolded protein accumulating in the brain. The most known prion diseases include Chronic Wasting Disease, found in deer, Mad Cow Disease, found in cows, and Creutzfeldt–Jakob Disease, which is usually caused in humans by exposure to Mad Cow-infected meat. Specifically, Crane's maternal side of the family has been plagued with Fatal Familial Insomnia, or FFI. She wasn't entirely sure if she had it too, but she basically grew up with the lingering threat of her loved ones succumbing to it, several of which did. FFI progresses in 4 key stages, generally starting at the age of 40 or so, and starts with insomnia and anxiety, followed by hallucinations caused by lack of sleep. Then, the brain is physically incapable of sleep, and the person rapidly begins to burn weight to stay awake. Due to the lack of sleep over three months, the brain starts to basically fall apart at the seams, resulting in dementia and an almost unresponsive state. Comatose. Then, death.

From her hardship, she became interested in Urbanshade. She'd heard from a family friend who worked there, Valdis Morrow, that the company had the potential to cure such illnesses. If she could stomach some morbid sights, she could help or lead these efforts.

She started her job with Urbanshade sometime in 1991. Though she became quickly aware of the fact that Urbanshade wasn't what it seemed, she continued with her work, lost in the idea that even though a few suffered, thousands would benefit... eventually ascending to the role of Senior Genetecist in 2001.

Most of her experiments were on lab mice, as Crane herself couldn't stomach hurting someone she was intending to help. She had done the occasional experiment on herself to prove its effectiveness, but nothing to the extent of her final research topic: Immortality.

Of course, she wasn't interested in immortality itself. She found the concept of immortality cruel. But if she could secure her job by telling Urbanshade executives that she's working on immortality for Mr. Shade himself..

In reality, she was researching the regenerative properties of Planarians, or flatworms. She grew curious as to whether or not Planarian DNA could be used to reverse or counteract neural degeneration. With a confirmed diagnosis of FFI on September 21st, 2011, she decided the best plan of action was to test the near-finalized "IUK" DNA set on herself. For the things she was incapable of doing, she recruited Valdis to help her with it.

And, to an extent, it was successful. Her FFI never progressed. With some cosmetic changes to sort out, she could be happy knowing that all of this research, all of this suffering around her- it led to something good. It just needed some finishing touches and it could be perfect. She could do some real good out there.

And she did make some edits. It was very nearly finished by October 2025. And then, well... you know. Sebastian. The blacksite falling.

When she was "released" from her "cell", which was just her bedroom, that she was not at all trapped in, Sebastian was quick to assume she was an experiment. And with his.. demeanor, and the blood on him, she quickly took this role as her new identity. She couldn't let her research go to waste.

By 2025, her form had changed quite a bit since 2011/2012. She started off a little chunky, before losing most of her weight during her experiments. Before the events of Pressure, she started to bulk up again, and after Sebastian released her, her form started to change for the worse. The stress of the situation, and the countless injuries she obtained started to take a toll on her.

She hadn't thought that the regeneration would regenerate inhuman DNA. The DNA it was bound with, specifically [Flatworm, Shark, Nudibranch, Man'o'war, Velvet Worm] started to take over her already inhuman features, erasing the little humanity she had left, and her personality was soon to be erased as well.

The last thing she did before she was officially "lost" to her mutations was pray to the Guardian Angel. She wasn't religious, but all she could do was beg for forgiveness. She should have left, she shouldn't have given her research to Urbanshade. She feels she is at least indirectly responsible for most of the suffering in those facilities, and she isn't wrong: most of her research was used to start new experiments, likely including Sebastian.

She doesn't know what the Guardian Angel said. She hopes it was forgiveness, but knows she doesn't deserve it.

On a lighter note, she does end up friendly with Eyefestation to an extent. Her regeneration renders her immune to Eyefestation's radiation :] Sebastian does eventually find her research and sends it out to Innovation Inc. He avoids her when possible, despite her usually non-aggressive nature.

She's a threat to Expendables though. They're small, and food sized. Oh well!

Gotta regret em' all!

(read bellow for more insight/comments about these!!)

Ouuggghh my GOD the universe did not want me to create these. I started Folly darkrai, then got sick with a nasty cold that I am still recovering from. THEN I get the most painful ear infection ever. The last image was made while I was in physical agony. I cried real tears.

Regardlessss... I really love Pokemon and Regretevator. My brain has been hardwired since the ripe ol' age of 4 to be obsessed with Pokemon. Every fandom I touch I think about trainer AUs or what Pokemon characters would be. So... this was inevitable. Everything I touch becomes Pokemon.

For those only following me for Regretevator, Roblox fandoms yanked me out of my Pokemon branding for everything. Which was good, i think. I used to represent myself with my fave mon, Maractus. Now I am my Roblox avatar. Ripe ol' age of 20 and all I do is roblock. amen.

I wanted to also write an extensive explanation for why EVERY character here is the Pokemon they are. Mostly because I know there will be people disagreeing with me (which is fine), but the goblin in my brain says "nooo people need to understand you 100% all the time". Sooo, here is a horrendously long essay about why I am objectively correct and you should trust me with all Pokemon related content ever (slash silly?). Does a lil' jigggggg.

(Basic Pokemon knowledge may be required to understand these things btw)

-------------------------

Folly Darkrai

- Obvious reason Folly would be a darkrai is that darkrai represents nightmares. It can cause those its near to have terrible dreams, and its signature move is Dark Void which puts enemies to sleep. Pair this with its ability, Bad Dreams, any opponent on the field that is asleep will take continuous damage.

- Darkrai is also illusive, and feared. It holds a similar energy to Folly. That energy being big bad scary oooo ahh scary.

- Literally the exact same color scheme as Folly. Similar shape language as well (big claws, jagged black bits, big evil eyeball, and a collar)

- Darkrai are interpreted as evil by characters within Pokemon media, but it is canon that they cannot control the nightmare giving aura they have. They can give others nightmares unintentionally, and aren't blood thirsting or villainous by nature. I feel this is a good nod towards Folly being in a similar boat. She can't help the situation she is in, and wasn't born evil.

Design Notes:

- I LOOOVE DARKRAI AND I LOOOVE FOLLY. she needed to be a pokemon I adore.

- The sweater was awkward to add onto her... because darkrai's body is already supposed to be like. a scary cloth. and they are so bulky. but I think I did okay?

- The hat looks awkward but I didn't include it that would have been messed up.

- nothing cool to say about dreamer she is just cutesy and rounder shapes.

-------------------------

Great One Xerneas

- Xerneas is a legendary Pokemon which represents life. It creates forests with its powers, and it can go into a "dormant" form where it is literally a white tree. Xerneas, and its counterpart, Yveltal, are not represented as inherently "good" or "evil". The whole deal with them is that life and death are a delicate balance that should be respected. I feel this was fitting because Great One is also a god, gave life to Folly, and became corrupt from jealously. Yeah I think that would disturb the natural balance of shit if the god of life got messed up.

- It is literally a big tree deer idk man.

Design Notes:

- I am sooo proud of this design... I think I cooked! Not much to say besides my friend said it looked like a old pokemon creepypasta and that is true.

- Xerneas is so fun to draw but antlers. suck. ewie.

- The drawing on the far right is inspired by that one screenshot.

- Hard to see but on the far right drawing I included the stomach wound. Didn't do it on the other fullbodies though because I forgot oops.

-------------------------

MR Minior

- Minior is a meteor pokemon which has two forms. In its ability "Shields Down", where it has a rocky, outer shell that protects it until it's HP gets too low. Once it is weakened, it will change into its "Core Form". Which is basically a cute little guy. But MR Minior is trapped in its "Meteor Form". Meteors relate to MR because of the Happy Home Party floor where MR summons meteors yay.

- Minior are very pathetic pokemon, they fall from the stratosphere only to die on earth. I feel this is similar to MR in the way like. MR is dead and pathetic in its currently state. Compared to what it previously was anyways.

- Minior literally descends from the heavens. Something something word play MR dead god blagh blah.

Design Notes:

- Minior already had eye holes on its design, but I used the cracks throughout its body to make the forehead hole and mouth. I think it was done decently well!

- If MR did go into "Core Form" I imagine it would just be whatever Regretevator devs intend MR's living form to be.

- Minior is so cute and round. I think MR is kinda cute in a round plushie squishmallow kind of way.

-------------------------

Pest Lokix

- Okay this one is purely based off of aesthetic but HEAR ME OUT.

- Lokix is a locust/grasshopper pokemon inspired by Kamen Rider, a japanese superhero franchise. Multiple characters in Kamen Rider have grasshopper/bug motifs. Pest is Japanese and also a bug. Ive connected the dots so good.

- Lokix is the first ever bug/dark type, and Pest would definitely being this typo combo.

- Idk guys just trust me okay

Design Notes:

- LOOOOK I KNOWWW. Pest is a beetle. Heracross is right there. BUT Heracross doesn't give PEST. Heracross is a round little blue guy and Pest is a weird little freak. Heracross doesn't hold the same intimidating aura as Lokix. And the other beetle pokemon, Rellor and Rabsca, are even further off the mark.

- I thought I was so clever having the antennae form mandible shapes.

- I love Lokix so much. Pest gets to be one of my faves as a treat.

-------------------------

Poob Pikachu

- Pikachu is the mascot for Pokemon, and Poob is the mascot for Regretevator! In a way, Poob is in a lot of promotional regretevator material.

- Very similar color pallet and vibes. The vibes being "little guy".

- Something could be said for pikachu being an electric type. In the pokemon franchise, electric types are typically associated with being "wild" and "fun". Poob is electric! Personality wise. And Poob would totally hook themselves up to shit they shouldn't.

- Social butterfly, Poob gets their energy from parties. Just like how Pikachu is shown to be able to absorb electricity and shit.

- Just cute. Thats it. Cute marketable guy.

Design Notes:

- I really like what I did with the ears on this. I like them being droopy... because of the hat.

- Poob's goofy little face looks natural on a Pikachus face, I think. Awesome sauce.

- I made the tail tip a half star shape because A: Poob genderless B: Party hat has stars. For those who dont know, pikachu have different tail tip shapes based on gender. Poobs gender is party!

-------------------------

Pilby Caterpie

- Guys do I need to explain this one.

- Caterpie is a caterpillar. A green one! Pilby is also a green caterpillar.

- Pilby and caterpie have eyes meant to cry. That one clip from the anime where caterpie has watery wet eyes is Pilby.

- Caterpie is a small little thing and Pilby is also a small little thang.

Design Notes:

- I made the little horn in the front the color of their hair because I didn't want to add even more clutter to the face.

- Headcanon that happy Pilby sways/wags their tail when happy. So caterpie pilby gets to wiggle their tail in happiness too.

- hungry hungry caterpillar.

-------------------------

Mach Tinkaton

- Tinktaton is a pokemon that wields a massive hammer, and beats others to death with it. Its hammer weighs over 200 lbs in canon, and Mach would totally be able to lift that weight. If not more.

- Tinkaton is also an exclusively female pokemon. Mach is a woman. Shrugs.

- Not much to say!!!! Big woman big hammer.

Design Notes:

- I think I made her look UGLY. I don't know what I like about my design. I guess the pose on the fullbody is sick af.

-------------------------

Infected Cubchoo

- I quite literally only did this for the aesthetic of the snot droplet. Thats it.

Design Notes:

- For some reason the regretevator wiki doesn't have a close up of the left side of Infecteds hat, only the right side. This made it difficult for me to draw the blue bunny.

- I contemplated adding hair at all. I decided to do so because Infected is one of the rare few haired characters. You can keep your hair. For now.

- I was contemplating Grafaiai as well, but I decided going the snot droplet route was better. But Grafaiai still works really well for Infected IMO.

-------------------------

Bive Absol

- Absols can uhmm.. ughh. Predict future events such as Natural disasters with their powers. So I think she would do this but her future predicting shit sucks. And she is paranoid from Absol related intuition.

- That's basically the only reason I thought of, but Bive is a simple character in concept so thats okay.

Design Notes:

- Freak woman Bive I love you.

-------------------------

That's all ty for reading I'm so tired goodnight

QUILL EATER

Sharp Quills - Once this card is struck, the striker is dealt one damage. Stat Eater - A card bearing this sigil will take an opposing card's base stats: replacing its own: after destroying it. "I don't remember you.." - Leshy, when the player obtains Quill Eater from the Trader using a Golden Pelt.

Stats remain the same, even through Acts, until Quill Eater eats another card. If eaten card is Ouroboros, stats reflect the Ouroboros' stats when it was placed on the board. If Quill Eater is spliced by the Mycologists, all eaten stats are doubled. RARE CARD ABILITY: If Quill Eater is used to defeat an opponent, excluding Training Dummy, and repeatable Act III encounters, health and damage increase by one permanently.

Inscryption OC cards? More likely than you think!
