So I finally got on the 'Insane Ragatha Variation' train, so I give you...
Ragavamp!
An insane, but VERY intelligent, variation of Ragatha! It took me a little bit to really mak a design that was inspired by other designs I saw WITHOUT being just a copy of them! I'm proud of the results :D
Here's a close up of all of the doodles + a bunch of lore dumping that I've cooked up whilst making her design (Plus this lore's for something me and others are making but that's for later <3)
So I think this Ragatha basically partially abstracted, however survived from it due to having a VERY big natural resistance to abstraction. However, as a result of this- very much supernatural aftereffects occurred alongside her quick descant into insanity. Using her new powers, she attacks Caine and ends up firewalling him in a small room. As an AI- he can't escape the firewall, but people stuck WITHIN the circus and move through it just fine
Now she runs the circus with questionable rule, Ragatha considering Sun and Moon as her "Knights" and everyone else aside from Pomni as "peasants". But she doesn't treat them with any cruelty- or at least any NORMAL cruelty. She's a bit of a ticking time bomb, able to overpower most in the circus thanks to her new powers, and most catched this almost disease of partial abstraction, some better off then others
Some of Ragavamp's abilities include:
-Turning into an abstracted bat (Picture above) -Summoning abstracted wings out of nowhere -Able to drink blood (HAS to drink blood to keep the abstraction at bay) -Sudden bursts of energy -Heightened sense of smell and hearing -Abnormal (yet inconsistent) levels of strength
Due to her partial abstraction, her legs kind of got fucked up to the point where stitching won't help. She has a limp, so she has a cane to help her walk (note that this cane is also a cane sword, so she's not defenseless in case you were wondering)
Personality wise, it's VERY different from canon. It's actually never consistent or permanent, her abstracted form constantly fighting her in her own head. Sometimes she's her normal self before the abstraction, sometimes she's similar to Kinger, sometimes she's intimidating and very cryptic- and there's even points of complete and utter dissociation from everything- just standing, sitting, or laying while she stares to nothing. Pomni finds it depressing and she feels terrible for the woman, who's in the end just trying to help everyone. She managed to find a way to save the others that had totally abstracted, however the cost was simply more of her conscious mind
She also can read people like an open book. Even things never admitted out loud she can know about. It's unknown if this is because of the abstraction or not
Here's a reference of her full design in case you're curious!
If you have any questions, either for this Ragatha or any of my AUs, I'd be happy to answer them! My inbox is nice and open after all!
