Oh god I just had the worst thought. In a tma homestuck au.
What…
What happens if Elias prototypes his original body as his Sprite????
Will there be two of them now? How much would it even remember since his eyes are technically powering Elias. Does he remember up until the first time he switches bodies or somehow it’s still connected to Elias and he has all the memories.
Is it like with Jade sprite or nanna and now they have half the soul of a Regency bastard mad at being alive when he is also active as Elias ? Actually it’s a nice take on how much of the original Jonah is left every time he body hops.
On a funnier and more lighthearted note, Peter is the one who accidentally prototypes it for himself and now he doesnt know what to do with his husbands ghost following him around.
In another unrelated note. Gertrude, Gerry and Leitner sprites. Think of the possibilities of the archive crew being stuck with them.
Wouldn’t that mean Elias would lose his all seeing powers since the ability to see is connected to his original body being left on specific spot?
On the other hand sprites are much closer to immortality than God tier can ever be. Also so much knowledge about the game you gain as sprite… Would be Elias almost see it as a win for his old self? while Jonah would hate the fact that he got no agenda in this decision… The conversation of which one of them is the more real one no matter how much memories they share…
On less philosophical note you could prototype Jonah sprite with cat and get a real catboy Jonah-
