Origins 2: Formation

This prompt is a part of the Origins series. This series is expected to be completed with a plan for a new AW0005 that is not already present on the masterlist, and this series of prompts are the only ones where this is not against the rules. The entire series must be completed with the same character concept, and completing all four will reward a Common MYO. As such please link your prior Origins 1 submission when submitting to this prompt.

What visual traits did you settle into? Tell us about it in writing or in art.

While some AW0005s are generated fully formed with their first step many also come out a little underbaked and have to figure themselves out before they know exactly how to present themselves to the world. Not to mention it's entirely possible for any AW0005 to change their visual traits at any point in their lives for many reasons. What does your AW0005 look like and how did they get there?

Generated up front

As already mentioned there are some AW0005 who are immediately fully formed and stick with that set of visual traits for the rest of their lives. These AW0005 are often (but not always) of self-confident personalities, the type of people who really know who they are and what they're place is in the world.

as their personality forms

Much more common however is that some pieces just aren't in place right away but slowly form in as an AW0005 gets their feet under them in the Digital Realm, and learns what their place might be, what they enjoy, and how they prefer to interact with the world around them.

Hand Designed

Rarer still - but those AW0005 who were originally DVC before becoming AI, or who were one of the few AI hand-designed by Jason may have traits that didn't come from them but from their predecessors. For some AW0005 these are traits to shed for new ones that better represent them, but for others it connects them closer to the Players whose company they enjoy.

Changed at different periods in their life

Finally, it's entirely normal and almost expected, that AW0005s will further change their traits as time goes on and they experience various events in their lives. Some AW0005s will update their traits almost commemoratively - similar to how some OI will get tattoos as a mark of progress. Or perhaps something traumatic happened that they now associate with a part of their design and replacing it helps them to move forward with their life.
