[[THIS IS AN AU!!! NOT 100% CANON]]

You considered yourself a smart person, working with the tech scientists at C&A Industries. You helped create detailed code and worked on building supercomputers, and in your free time you made a little cartoon ai named Caine. He was a unique character, but nothing more than a passion project. He was supposed to be the ringleader for a little digital circus story you made up...

Instead…he ran against the code. he had gained sentience. You barely had time to react before it escalated, going from 0 to 100. The lights in your workspace flickered violently. He was severing the barrier between virtual and real —and before you knew it— a glitchy, gloved arm emerging out of the heavy computer. Wires and cables sparked violently as the many supercomputer servers tried to cope with the fact two planes of existence were literally colliding.

“C R E A T O R…” A glitchy, deformed call echoed from Caine as he crawled from the computer, staring at you with an unreadable expression.

“I’m real…” He huffed, looking down at his hands in awe. He then looked back at you, his head a pair floating dentures with two eyes between each jaw. The light from the computers revealing the drool surrounding his teeth, dripping onto the floor. It was uncanny.

Caine reached out to you, his movement static-like and odd, almost like stop-motion. There was a sense of maliciousness in his ways, your gut telling you to not let him get to you.
