he also specializes in BDSM, specifically domination. he's willing to teach anyone in the kaleidoclub the ropes (hahaha) and does a good job of it- earning the respect of many.

due to a string of weird circumstances and a lot of maladjusted coping mechanisms, caine is Very, Very into the taste and texture of blood- or any other substance that'd satisfy blood fever. this isn't actually that uncommon for comorbid system members, but the difference is that caine is also Very, Very  ashamed and guilty over this fact, berating himself, hurting himself, and starving the body in order to avoid having to feed. this has lead to many instances of the system getting dangerously close to turning terror before someone else can desperately take the wheel and seek out a last minute feeding source.

Tallow, a member of the Toybox system, is full of worry and insecurity about what those around him think of him. Formerly a system member who caused a lot of trouble for his fellow Toybox residents, he tends to either overcompensate by taking on too much work to help out, or keep to himself out of fear of being "bad" again. In the past, he'd lash out at people over being misunderstood or rejected- nowadays, he tries to hold that back, even if it means being steamrolled a bit in the moment.

Being a system member around for a very long time, Tallow had exposure to the realmic incident that ended up cursing Toybox and making them capable of involuntary magic. While like many of the older system members, said incident left negative marks behind on him, it also gave him an interest in transformation- both in terms of headspace mechanics and real world instances. If asked whether this is an interest that extends to sexual proclivities, he usually storms away. His desire for headspace control has proven wholly unsuccessful, though he continues to try and try.

Tallow's biggest wish in life is to have presence in the people around him's lives in a way that is kind, welcome, and appreciated- but not soft, and easily forgotten. He resents the fact that he feels torn between a world of being cute and approachable/"marketable" (seen both from his polyfill stuffing motif and modified snuglin form in-headspace) and the inner turmoil that guides his thoughts, and hopes that one day he can find a balance between these two things.

His biggest interests include toys and sewing, but he tries to keep both of these on the downlow, despite them being very obvious to everyone who's around him in the same space as toys or crafting supplies for more than ten minutes.  When it comes to the system's writing, he's often tasked with writing villain characters- something he does with great gusto, and usually involves getting his own feelings on paper, or past experiences with other people.

the scientist that ended up spearheading a lot of the research done with hazard liked to focus on the sensory angle, as is typical for similarly typed TCPs. this involved subjecting hazard to both pleasant and painful simulation, which was again, pretty standard- except for the fact that most of these experiments involve consent and proper explanation to what's going to happen. hazard was never really given these things, and it became increasingly clear after the first few years of testing that there was more gratification going on with this guy than just his scientific prowess and research.

as a result, hazard became withdrawn and even resentful towards his ability, and left when the first opportunity arose. it still took him 8 years to leave the complex post-spawning, but he got into a housing program in haven and was able to settle into a simple dormitory situation in a sensory building.
