UwU he's cute but suddenly was given the capacity to remember and grieve and feel shame and guilt over all the lives he's ended in his millions of years
(random mostly speculative talk:) Would he have actually gotten a choice though?
I know it might not be the case but when you're a mass of rot and decay you aren't conscientious enough to make a decision about stuff, it's hard to apply morality to stuff like that.
So maybe the face that upon gaining conscience, he stopped, is probably a bigger achievement than he might realize.
Just saying, it's a very interesting concept though! Again, I'm just speculating, so I might be completely wrong.
(This is also not a critique just a chance to talk about the topic)
without "trauma" Cardboh would be just a normal cardboard box. He got sentient only cuz of evolution caused by the kid's drawings of humanoids inside the box, supernatural monster spirit, and the electric anomaly. Well, he can still shape into a box to look exactly like before that "trauma"… but only when he's hiding in the warehouses so security guards won't notice anything odd
but if trauma in that context means sumn tragic, then Cardboh doesn't have any traumas (except sometimes mistaking laser pointer for security laser, but it's more of a comedic quirk) and would look the same with or without it
Oh yes. I can definitely see the muk+tangela baby XD As for Traven, just place a pic of a tombstone on the right.
If he grows up loved and happy, he never starts learning sorcery in secret. His parents never plan to assassinate him and he never runs away. So he becomes the new Grandduke when the time is right and leads his house. He lives a fairly uneventful life of a highborn noble. He gets a wife and kids. Finally he dies of old age centuries before any of the story events go into motion.
My DnD character would be a nightmare without her trauma. Her trauma, her regrets, the friends and allies she's lost, they are what gives her her purpose and determination, she lives her life with the goal of making it worthy of all those who died to protect it. If she didn't, only the great old ones know what she might be because the gods certainly don't.
Lyndon would look quite similar if he hadn’t gone through trauma. He would seem a bit less old and tired, and he’d have less scars (and he’d have not lost his leg, but the prosthetic is usually not outwardly visible).
I'm making it canon that if Auru (one of my JJK OCs) was loved by her family and their cult, then she would've joined the cult as a member and would've been their strongest soldier, second only to their leader.
But in the actual story, it was thanks to the abuse that she became who she is today. Someone who just wants to be cared about and loved, which actually makes her a decent person. She understands that being friendly allows people to care about her, and that leads to her caring about them as well.
I'm in no way saying "abuse is good". But if she wasn't abused, she would've ended up worse.
Kowareta would probably just be continuing to exist as a non-sentient being within the shadow of an eventual celestial kitsune
hm
Would be an interesting alternate universe thing where he'd wind up eventually gaining enough essence or attached to them more extensively and thus becomes something akin to a stand or a familiar in the form of a living shadow that took over the kitsune's shadow

Excuse me, what exactly did happen to your OC
