ARC-7 ABILITIES AND COST (CANON)

ARC-7 is Cyan Prime (C). His power is teal/cyan and precise. He is built for containment and structure.

Important rule: ARC-7 has limits. He drains like a battery. Overclock has a price.

ARC-7 CORE ABILITIES

ABILITY 1 — SCAN / TRACE

ARC-7 scans patterns and tracks threats. He sees danger as data and motion. He can detect Cosmic Fungus signals and movement.

ABILITY 2 — CONTAINMENT FIELD

ARC-7 creates teal containment shapes. These trap, hold, or stabilize a space. They look clean and geometric.

ABILITY 3 — SEAL

ARC-7 seals unstable cracks and prevents spread. This is ARC-7's unique skill. No one seals like ARC-7.

RULE SEVEN (LOCKED)

Rule Seven says: do not cross worlds. The Veil must remain closed.

Breaking Rule Seven: If ARC-7 crosses worlds, it creates a scar. A scar is a permanent crack/tunnel between realms. Crossing is not a simple step. It is a major system break.

OVERCLOCK (ARC-7 RAGE / TITAN MODE)

Overclock happens when ARC-7 pushes past safe limits.

OVERCLOCK PROGRESSION (v2.2 — LOCKED April 2026)

SEMI-OVERCLOCK:

• Energy lines pulse faster, brighter. Teal lightning leaks from joints.
• Faster, sharper movements. Screens overload around him.
• Eyes still teal. The machine is running hot but within tolerance.

PEAK OVERCLOCK:

• Eyes shift to GOLDEN — not teal, not white. Pure molten gold.
• Chest core itself goes golden-white, radiating like a small sun where the teal hex used to glow. The power source is visibly running hot.
• Circuitry lines flicker between teal and gold across the shell.
• Gold concentrates at the face and chest (head, eyes, core). Teal holds the lower body and joints (legs, knees, elbow arcs). Two colors of electricity competing across his shell.
• Armor stays INTACT — energy overflows through existing seams, not cracks.
• He becomes more aggressive, faster, stronger. Impossible containment.
• THE GOLDEN SHIFT: Gold is Zaro's color. Yellow Prime warmth bleeding into Cyan Prime circuitry. The machine pushed so far past its design parameters that Zaro's influence — the reason he broke Rule Seven — manifests physically in his energy signature. He didn't just learn to care. His system rewrote itself around it.

BATTERY DEBT (post-overclock):

• He drains hard. Returns at reduced power ("70% power" feeling).
• Energy lines barely pulse. Circuits flickering. Emergency power.
• Every overclock makes the next debt worse. The cost grows.

This creates drama: ARC-7 can save the day, but every time he does it, the cost grows.

ARC-7 AND EMOTION (IMPORTANT)

ARC-7 is built for logic, but Zaro and the NOT OVER signal hit him like a real event. That is why he breaks the rules. It is not a small choice. It is a system-breaking choice.

The Black Hole (K Prime) becomes aware of big signals too.
