Sked- first prototyping is his shedding, when Ikti accidentally drags it into his kernelsprite. Dissatisfied with its maturity, he later tier-2 prototypes it with a newer shedding. The new sprite is nearly identical, but "
twice as sked".
Ikti- feeling bad about embarrassing Sked by prototyping his shedding, she prototypes hers as well. She is the first player to discover Tier 2 prototyping, accidentally prototyping her shipping chart pre-entry (making
Shipsprite). At first she is annoyed by Shipsprite's giddy relationship talk, but soon comes to realize the two of them think almost identically, prototyping with the chart simple made Shipsprite more open about it. Coming to terms with this eventually gets Ikti to admit her feelings for Sked.
Taza- after an Alternate Future Sked
prevents him from prototyping Kesh's exoskeleton, Taza decides to try a Perfectly Generic Object (see Marshie's comic). He quickly grows bored with Genericsprite and decides to retrieve and prototype the Alternate Future Sked's body. While digging it out he accidentally prototypes the bathtub instead. This has no changes on Genericsprite, other than making its edges slightly more rounded. Taza eventually learns to overcome his desire for all his friendships to be complex and interesting, and learns to appreciate Genericsprite in its own way.
Kesh- Kesh prototypes the shark taxidermy given to him by Shie. While his relationship with
Sharksprite is strained at first, they eventually become friends. Kesh lets Sharksprite choose his own Tier 2 prototype, but after thinking about it for a long time Sharksprite ultimately decides to go without one, so he can retain his personality unmodified.
Atri - wanting a sprite she knows she can get along with, Atri also prototypes one of her sheddings. After it becomes clear Atri is the de-facto leader of the group, she tries to find a way to actively overcome her shyness. She post-entry-prototypes a statue of a
famous Apocritan heroine in an attempt to meet a more leaderly version of herself. At first Atri is intimidated by how leader-like HeroAtrisprite is, but in time Atri comes to realize that they're not too different after all.
Shie - Shie's Aphidcat is killed by something or other prior to entry, making her pre-entry prototyping obvious. However, post-entry she embarks on an elabroate plan to tie all of her exoskeletons together and prototype them
all at once. Halfway through she realizes (on her own accord) this would be really fucking creepy and probably upset all her friends, so she eliminates the temptation by prototyping one of her old, damaged books about the
aforementioned heroine. However, as the book is too damaged to read, the sprite is simply a tattered and worn Aphidcatsprite.
