HE HAS REAL CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM which ... isn't actually a thing in canon. He mentions that it's fake a lot in canon, andddd what isn't fake is all based on the fact that he has robotic legs (and he's not paralyzed because YAY METAL LEGS). It's really interesting and really fun to play with because while he's still not the most confident and there's still some self-hatred, the change in how he thinks is nice because it's way healthier than whatever he had in canon-- not that it's particularly healthy because of the self-hatred and the levels are pretty low, but hey, still way better than canon. Aather's rainbow road has been nice to him. /o/;;

Hmm, is there anything unexpected that happened with Mau? He's been in Aather for a long time, so I'm kind of curious if there were any changes between canon!Mau and Aather!Mau.
