For those who don’t know, Elon Musk has recently been directing his assholery towards Wikipedia — calling them ‘Wokepedia’ due to the amount they spend on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and calling for people to stop giving them money “until they restore balance to their editing authority” —, now is a great time to consider donating to Wikipedia!

Hi hello!! I love your Gamma Code AU :DD and especially Haz hes really silly to me, but is there anyway I can read up on lore about each of you characters? Like a lore/character sheet for them maybe?

Hihiii!!

Unfortunately, there’s no lore sheet or anything of the sort for the characters. However, I’ve been dropping some hints through art and asks to avoid spoiling the fanfic too much. You can find these by checking their respective tags!

But here’s a summary of what’s known about all of them so far:

• Biohazard (he/him - they/them - it/its)

Protagonist or deuteragonist, interchangeable with YN. Created as a maintenance robot to handle high-risk radiation tasks for humans, he was responsible for repairing heavy machinery in the nuclear reactor area. Out of three automatons, he was the only one ever activated. He was originally called Gamma. A technical malfunction and human negligence caused an accident in the reactor core that turned Biohazard into the most radioactive being. He was isolated while carrying out repairs on a reactor that could never be used again and was eventually abandoned. Two years pass until the timeline in which the fic takes place.

His perception of the world is distorted most of the time, especially when he feels he’s “on the brink,” as he calls it; he also hears things that aren’t physically there, like a dripping sound that Biohazard perceives as similar to the ticking of a clock whenever his sanity begins to destabilize. He used to be cheerful and a physics nerd, but he insists that all of that belonged to his former self, Gamma, whom he considers too deeply buried ever to resurface.

Bitter, sarcastic, aggressive, playful, teasing, mentally unstable, sensitive, grumpy, possessive, protective. Self-destructive tendencies. He has trust, attachment, and abandonment issues and harbors a deep-rooted hatred toward the humans who locked him away. He’s a complete mess with no self-confidence, desperately searching for meaning in an existence that actively seeks its own destruction and seems to pose nothing but a threat to all life.

Green: typical color of fluorescence and radium paint. Complementary opposite of red.

• Neutron (they/them - any)

I’ve revealed little about this character in order to keep some mystery.

Tritagonist. Originally created as a prototype/mock-up for the subsequent building of Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. Their database was almost empty, containing barely a hint of a latent personality. Cheap, fragile, and without any defined purpose, they were thrown away without a second thought, only to be reassembled later.

Shattered and living in the underground of the nuclear plant, Neutron’s motivation is driven by immense inherent curiosity and a fascination for anything new. They decide to acquire on their own all the knowledge that wasn’t previously granted to them through programming (with a bit of help), but there’s a void inside them that never seems to be filled. They exhibit attitudes and behaviors that are often incomprehensible and confusing. They love animals and the concept of caring for others, even if their perspective is sometimes a bit off.

They become an ally of YN in the attempt to save Biohazard from those who actively want to get rid of him. They’re capable of venturing outside but are terrified of doing so.

Kind, compassionate, mysterious, impatient, very sensitive, secretly resentful, playful, with curiosity that sometimes borders on the morbid and sadistic, emotionally mature. They’re affectionate and show it actively with YN, despite often calling them “pet.” They’re also quite attached to YN, and both constantly learn things from each other. Desperately seeking a purpose and to be useful to someone.

Blue: Cherenkov radiation.

• Alpha (he/him)

Main antagonist. Originally created to handle high-risk tasks in the nuclear plant alongside Beta and Gamma to boost productivity, but never activated until much later when his purpose changed to focus instead on the definitive deactivation of Biohazard.

Impulsive and naturally full of rage, Alpha has a very violent side that ticks like the clockwork of a time bomb ready to explode. He despises power dynamics and often refuses to obey humans, despite taking his “purpose” far too seriously. Morally gray, he follows his own rules. His impulsive personality makes him capable of killing without a second thought, and often without feeling any guilt afterward.

Despite this, he has deep affection for Beta and is overprotective of him, even though his co-worker is very afraid of him. Every time Beta rejects him, Alpha feels profound self-loathing and becomes aware of his own actions, actively trying to earn his colleague's trust. Alpha has a compassionate side and a strong protective instinct toward those who appear vulnerable.

Solemn, expressionless, emotionally inexperienced, mentally unstable, quick to anger, impulsive and violent, yet with a protective and affectionate side. Alpha feels too much, and it enrages him, as he wishes to be a being devoid of emotions. He will never seek to resemble humans, and any emulation in his programming that he deems inherently human, he tries to repress at all costs—even though he often fails. He’s curious about anything that interests Beta, whether objects or activities. He can’t look at himself in a mirror. He exhibits odd and unsettling behaviors. Once he has a goal in mind, only his own death or destruction will stop him.

Red: infrared radiation. Complementary opposite of green.

• Beta (he/him - they/them - any)

Secondary antagonist. Built with the same purpose as Alpha and Gamma but later used to confront Biohazard. He has two personalities.

- Lunar Form: the dominant personality. He suffers from generalized anxiety, is extremely skittish, and everything makes him nervous, but he’s very kind and sweet. He’s curious and loves learning new things. He has a strong sense of justice and dislikes violence.

Beta’s unable to separate himself from his robotic nature, which is reflected in his actions and in how strictly obedient he is to humans, bordering on submissiveness. He’s deeply afraid of disappointing others or failing to fulfill his purpose or expectations. Beta's very afraid of Alpha, fully aware of what he is capable of, and flees whenever he approaches.

He has mixed feelings about his “mission” and the situation with YN and Biohazard, but he’s unable to ignore orders from a superior, even though he’s occasionally capable of switching sides.

Kind and calm. Sensitive to bright lights, so he prefers dark spaces. He’s always anxious and anticipates the worst, tending to be a bit pessimistic. Curious about human food, even if he can’t eat it. He also has a tendency to try to get people to sleep when he notices they’re tired, fascinated by everything related to sleep routines. Very affectionate and shy. His hood makes him feel safe. Terrified of animals. He likes reading anything. He often starts organizing things when anxiety strikes. His programming is incomplete and full of bugs.

Purple/violet: ultraviolet radiation.

- Solar Form: Beta’s second personality and a safety protocol activated during emergencies and evacuations. In this mode, he adopts a more self-assured and leadership-oriented attitude to ensure procedures are carried out properly, which he takes extremely seriously.

Contrary to the Lunar Form, he’s not as submissive and becomes bossy, constantly trying to protect others and exaggerating any potential risk. However, deep down, he’s still shy and tries to hide it; he still shares most of Lunar’s core traits, like being gentle and attentive.

Though not usually dangerous, he’s unstable; Solar’s programming lacks a finalized form and was left half-done as a project no one bothered to finish. Thus, he’s a bundle of errors, glitches, and bugs that significantly affect his behavior, making him act in incomprehensible and sometimes aggressive ways. He tends to be eerie and authoritarian, refuses to take “No” for an answer, and always gives off the impression that he’s on the verge of doing something terrible, even if nothing happens in the end. He tends toward direct eye contact, which often makes him intimidating.

Not including YN’s lore here cause it will be revealed as the fic progresses

I’ll probably edit this whenever new information comes out or if I realize I’ve forgotten something

ok so I don't get involved in fandom drama, but I saw a post that got me thinking about one of my favorite jonsa moments in the books that I feel like is a bit overlooked?

I'm putting it under a cut because my thoughts are scattered and possibly confusing but whatever lol

so I found the post on my for you tab (why do i even go in there?) and it was about how Sansa is super classist for this part: Sansa sighed as she stitched. "Poor Jon," she said. "He gets jealous because he's a bastard."

(Don't worry, the poster did point out that all the Starks are classist to some degree, but Sansa is the most, and how Arya just thinks of him as her brother. gotta love people who try to bury their Sansa hate lol. like there was no other point to the post. it didn't even make me mad cause it was just kind of a dumb, very surface level take that was clearly just meant to point out how Sansa's such a meanie)

now, if you follow me, you probably know that I'm not someone who reads a ton of metas or even believes jonsa will be canon, but if it is, I think this is such an underrated moment.

Because Sansa sees him in a way none of her other siblings do, because she doesn't think of him as her true brother.

Arya thinks of Jon as her brother. For her, she and Jon are the same, but they aren't, and she doesn't see that - because she's 9 years old and for her, Jon is an outsider like her, and that relationship is such a safe space for her. (ugh I actually love the Jon & Arya relationship I really don't get to write it enough because I do tend to focus more on Sansa's relationship with Arya). Anyway, Arya doesn't really understand the implications of Jon being a bastard. Like, that isn't going to change for him, except in a very extreme circumstance. But she will always be trueborn. (we're taking gender out of the equation here, which is its own beast that has been talked about a ton so I won't go into it)

Arya is blinded by her love and adoration of Jon. Robb doesn't see it at all because why would he even consider it? (and even if he did, we don't see it cause there's no Robb POV). Bran and Rickon are probably too young to think about. But Sansa sees Jon for who he is, and what she says is a fact. Is it a nice thing to say? Maybe not, but it is 100% true, and she's clearly emotionally intelligent enough to see his circumstances and understand how that effects his actions.

I think that's why I found the post so funny, cause I'm like - and? Jon IS a jealous bastard. He spends the entire Winterfell feast being soooooo salty about Joffrey and Myrcella and Tommen and even Robb (radiant Sansa gets a pass tho) even though there's literally no other reason for it. He spends the rest of the books trying so hard to suppress how much he wants to be Lord of Winterfell. He loves Robb, but he's jealous of Robb, and he struggles a lot with that and feels guilty for wanting what Robb has.

Anyway, this is one of my fav jonsa foreshadowings (if it ever becomes canon) because to me, it just means that Sansa can see through his bullshit better than a lot of other people. And I like the idea of that, that she sees him.

meanwhile Jon's just over there like "yeah yeah yeah, Sansa's radiant, but have you seen how insipid Myrcella is??"

yingdu episode 6 spoilers

don't have the time now, but as a note to myself, here are the things for me to think about and post about in the future:

liu xiao's tetris playing as a metaphor for xia fei's role in the "game" and also xia fei's chess piece being the white pawn (additionally, cheng xiaoshi's side of the board being white is also interesting. white moves first in chess. white starts the game.)

revisit the glasses metaphor. interestingly, lu guang wears clear glasses when is also when starts calling xia fei a "friend" and setting up the vein thing

the new timeline (unless I find something else out while putting this together, my tentative understanding is that yingdu is the new timeline post-S2. I wonder if the glitch in the tunnels around the 6 minute mark of S2E12 is related now or just a sound effect

YE6 fairy tale metaphor with the detective, elephant, fox, rabbit, bird

the blue and yellow jacket wearers (cheng xiaoshi, li tianchen, xia fei) and how they are foils/parallels with themes of agency/autonomy and/or lack thereof, and how liu xiao is the thematic intersecting point for all of them

shao yuanyuan (cheng xiaoshi's mom) as a parallel to lu guang, and how liu xiao is the antagonist to both. shao yuanyuan using wang qing to create opportunities for her dives is also an interesting point. and also whatever happened in that room (wang qing's eyes turned blue?)

parallel timelines are most likely real! liu xiao is probably right! <- okay nevermind, looks like that one's wrong lmao based on this interview
