but davesprite was a doomed dave, so he could technically be counted as dead, meaning maybe it could be true that living things cant be prototyped?

That’s the thing I was trying to get across though- As long as the Alpha Timeline deems it ‘irrelevant’, it’s likely it’ll be allowed. Having one of the actual 4 Heroes Prototyped because of a silly high-five- One which was, also, influenced by the Readers sending Commands, would mess up with the flow of the Timeline so badly. Doomed Dave? Eh who cares about those guys. Just toss him right in.
