I have no idea why I keep forgetting to post my one (1) art of Hakkyo!Kieran but yk

Explanation on who he is below:

Who is Hakkyo!Kieran?

Kieran (or hk for simplicity) is an AI that appeared in a player (like irl player) called Diane's Scarlet save file. He originally didn't know what he was or why everything around him seemed so robotic and lifeless. Though Kieran didn't know that he had a special power to create and change code. He was doing it by accident at first, but later learned to control this power to help people.

Diane was the first human that he'd ever met and the first human that treated him with compassion. They grew to be close friends but eventually Nintendo found out and tried to take Kieran's data by force. Diane tried to stop it, but was unsuccessful– her life ending of front of Kieran when Alice (we'll get to her later) shot her in the head.

Kieran spent months being studied and tortured like a lab rat because he was originally part of an entity called no_name. no_name was a virtual assistant used to power and control the Ninten-VR servers and products– a VR system that would merge the game reality with the real world. However, no_name went off the deep end with the pressure from humans, and started eliminating them using this system. Blaise (the person who created no_name) started to regret her creation and took it upon herself to delete it permanently, with no_name dragging her down with it. Unfortunately, that left her daughter, Alice, alone and afraid with no one to take care of her.

However, before no_name was deleted, it split itself in two. One was J, (I'll make a separate post on her later) the other was Kieran. J inherited no_name's corruption and absorbing abilities, as well as it's spite and hatred for humanity, and Kieran inherited no_name creation and changing abilities, as well as the initial hope that it had in humanity.

J starts to slowly corrupt Kieran and his view on humans, turning him into a corrupted monster. This is why his form is distorted a bit– having extra eyes and all of that. Eventually the two break out together and start a rampage, killing hundreds of staff that were there. Kieran finds a human that reminds him of Diane, and it snaps him out of his bloody rage to reflect on all the damage he's done. Killing humans won't fix what happened to them. J spots this and is NOT happy, relentlessly tearing into Kieran and leaving him on the verge of death. After that, she leaves him in the lab to starve.

Kieran is stuck down at the lab for YEARS, only surviving on the rations that the humans left in the lab cafeteria. He is then saved by something of his own creation, but that's where the story ends for now.
