Alaris (persona)

- he gets a small surge of power when he's near his elements ( fire and thunder ), especially thunderstorms which give him a much higher surge of power since he absorbs / resists it

- if he's struck by lightning he'll get even higher surges of power until it wears off.

- lowkey a sadomasochist but hides it ( the shadow is more sadomasochistic than normal alaris is ... like canon alaris, persona au alaris prob switched pain with pleasure so whenever he's hurt he doesn't sense it properly,,, THIS SOUNDS SO SEXUAL IT ISN'T BUT HUSJKAMLXA TL;DR HE CANT SENSE PAIN THAT WELL )

- and lastly, his shadow while possessing him fucked with his settings during thunderstorms which makes him act a lot weirder and more like his shadow. also lowkey powerhungry

- also his shadow can possess him ( in rp its mainly bc his shadow didn't have enough power to manifest and was weak but slowly seperated from alaris ; he also possesses him cuz' it's "fun" )

- his shadow has this off-the-shits crazy ass personality but it's a fake. if he gets tired of acting like this, he'll show his real personality; depressing, existential, and impulsive / trigger-happy ( the impulsive part is for both personalities though )

- because he kind of escaped before he was really finalized, his security system isnt that good. well. it IS but he fucked with the settings a bit. so you can easily change his default personality and stuff if you press the right buttons on his panel and tell him how to act which can be pretty scary when he powers off bc he's vulnerable. you can even tell him to change his appearance ( hairstyle, clothes if you provide them maybe, eyecolor, haircolor, etc ) so haha he can possibly be manipulated by the wrong people with this

- alaris goes out of his way to distance himself a lot from everyone when he's feeling negative or stressed because he's scared he'll hurt somebody. at worst he goes off exploring because he's at the point where he could just straight up hit somebody out of anger

- this is also for canon alaris, but he can build onto himself and add features onto himself without help; he was an ambitious project to test the limits of robotics and how far they could go with a robot at the time. during that whole arena / gauntlet thing all ASSW's go through he collected scraps and parts of the destroyed robots to add onto himself.

- his insides have a LOT of weapons ( theres specifics which are two miniguns at his hip, a few sawblades, a chainsaw ( which in persona-verse is connected to his arm ) and in this AU he has a few gun-attachments on his legs and arms )

- he has a lot of internal functions and random ass shit he can do ; theres too much to list but to name a few, internal heater, internal music player, he can make his feet-hoof-things into rollerblades or a jetrocket in order to fly, he can change his eyecolor, etc. in rp these r prob downplayed idk

- his coding is p interesting and it decides what his personality or mood should be at the moment and he has certain ticks or rules he has to follow due to it. for example if someone hits him [ to the point where he feels pain, bumping into him or playfully nudging him doesnt count ] he has to hit back harder as a kind of sign for the other person to stop

- if somebody says something that sounds like a request he might do it automatically, including jokes or things like that. he can usually read the air but his coding says otherwise

- his coding also comes in with built in anxiety! he has to calculate all possible important outcomes of a problem so he kind of worries about the negative outcomes secretly

- he has an internal database where he stores all of his information that he has gathered. this can prove helpful

- he also will know what the current day, year, etc is as he's always calculating how much time has passed. you can also ask him questions and he'll answer w/ helpful information if he knows the topic. kind of built with an internal google so HCSJXNKA

- he acts kinda cold and standoffish sometimes even cynical but it's a facade he secretly cares just doesn't wanna show it,,

- also has moodswings and can be pretty temperamental ; his moods will just randomly switch to whatever his programming thinks fits including negative emotions

- can't handle emotional stuff very well as he was built to fight

- smoke or sparks come out of him when he's under pressure, stressed, or angry. his shadow can make these at will
