was getting jade into the game even worth prototyping bec
i’m not going to answer that question
because bec wasn’t exactly prototyped on purpose
he kinda was?
vriska put john to sleep so that he wouldn’t be able to add the doll to the kernelsprite, which made bec decide to prototype himself to save jade
vriska explains her rationale later
but also, yes it was. not prototyping anything at all would be even worse
no, they aren’t actually. the imps only have some of the powers of a First Guardian, not all of them.
the game is designed to be beaten. only the Rings grant the full power of all the prototyped objects.
it’s not clarified until later so I don’t blame you for asking, but rest assured that this is tackled in-universe.
