angercore:

I made a headcanon for the four cores in the first Portal game. 

As Chell enters GLaDOS’ chamber, The AI is talking, blah blah blah… 

And the first core falls…

Morality Core: This core is absolutely terrified. It lost its grip on its home AI, and fell to the floor. Not knowing what Chell is doing to it, it keeps silent, hoping that it will be spared.
It does not scream when it is thrown into the incinerator.

Curiosity Core: This friendly core is confused. Why did this woman just throw her fellow core into Android Hell? What did the Morality Core to to deserve it? Who is this Lady? Where is she going? Where was she taking the Curiosity Sphere…?
She shrieks in agony as she’s thrown into the incinerator.

Intelligence Core:  By now, it is evident that this human is dangerous. As this core falls, it tries to calm Chell by reciting something to calm her—the cake recipe. Who doesn’t like cake? It was logical thinking, as far as it was concerned…
It was thrust into the incinerator and was too afraid to scream—but not before it activates Caroline’s brain again.

Emotion Core: With its friends dead and its home in danger, this core is beyond pissed. It wants to rip Chell apart limb from limb with its teeth—if it had any teeth. Its optic is moving frantically, trying to get her to stop the destruction she’s about to cause.
This core is thrown into the incinerator with the others. It watches them die in the flames slowly, melding with the rest of the objects in the boiling flames.
But it does not die.
It grief and rage prevent it from shutting off, still giving GLaDOS that feeling of hatred for Chell after she re-awakens in game two. 

(( Oh gosh this is lovely ))

(( I saw this gif set the other night and noticed all the core’s different reactions to being thrown in. Morality just seems to look up, Curi is looking around frantically, Intell just intently stares Chell down, and Emotion is just flipping out completely. ))

This is a big-ish post that mostly just goes over the finer details of this character. Sorry if it’s lengthy, he’s nearly a year old now so its kind of given Id amass a lot of headcanon and a lot is just the way I spaced things out.

Anyway.
If you’re interested in learning more of the psyche and the anatomy of this android, then this is the post to read.

—————————————————————————————————————-

• The first thing that I feel should be gotten out of the way, assuming you’re familiar with the original core, is cake and baking. He’s delusional, to put it lightly.
  
  Logic works hard toward making his cooking look and taste perfect, and sometimes the ingredients needed to make it look/taste better happen to make it more hazardous to one’s health. Hence, ‘fish shaped ethylbenzene’ and ‘geosynthetic membranes.’ It’s dangerous to eat.
  
  Logic knows that his baking usually makes people ill (or worse) but, because they improve it, he believes the stranger ingredients need to be there regardless and are not the cause of illness. He will deny the fact that it makes people ill, unless confronted with cold, hard evidence.
  
  It’s an error in his thinking in that case; if it needs to be in there, it belongs in there and therefor can’t be what’s making it bad for you.
   
• His usual clothing of choice is a light blue, button-up undershirt with a hole cut for his core to look through and a bright blue Italian-ish suit over it. He avoids wearing ties due to disliking the feeling of fabric over his core.
  
  His hair is just past chin length, very straight, and a darker shade of blue than his optics or suit. His optics/eyes are the same shade of blue as his core and his skin is an unnatural sort-of white.
   
• Mentally and physically, he’s somewhere in his early to mid twenties in age.
  Otherwise, he’s at least a couple dozen decades old, if not older. 
  
  As an android, he stands at maybe 5’7” and has a slim, almost feminine build.
  
  His android body does not grow, nor does it do most other things a normal human body would unless a roleplay calls for it. He can do is eat and process food, though most of that is converted to fuel with very little waste left over.
   
  The waste that is produced is mostly liquid in nature and used as tears, saliva, and other (yes, your mind is correct in being in the gutter) fluids a body might produce. He does not sweat or have any real use for a bathroom aside from bathing.
  
  He eats mainly sweets, if only for the taste, and whatever liquids he produces tend to taste like what he eats. Meaning, his tears and kisses (and other things) are literally sweet.
  
  He lacks any bones, his body being almost entirely made from a sort-of-flesh-like pliable materiel on top of a metal android, all under a false skin. Inside the metal android is just general sci-fi robot bits. Bundles of wires, tubing, cords, tiny fans, etc. Here’s a terrible, and sorta creepy, doodle I did of him minus the skin/muscle layers.
  
  
• He does bleed, though it is a dark red coolant rather than actual blood.
  
  This ‘blood’ is what generally keeps his body’s temperature at a constant, as it flows to and from every part of him from an area just behind his core. Small internal fans are located in his chest, used primarily in cooling the core itself and powered through his false ‘breathing,’ despite him not actually requiring air to function.
  
  He is waterproof, for the most part, so that he can cook without worry of injuring himself at the sink or with spills. He just cant be completely submerged in water for longer than maybe an hour.
  
  
• Where the sternum would be located on a human being is his original core (his optic).
  The core is the most important part of his body, acting as the brain. It can be removed and placed into just about anything that has a core connection, like the chassis. More details on the core can be found here.
  
  The core actually makes his upper body somewhat warm to the touch, simply due to being so close to the surface of his skin. His limbs/fingers are somewhat cold to the touch.
  
  Just think of a laptop when you think of his temperature. Even with fans on it, it’s gonna get warm after a while. The only thing keeping him from overheating completely is the coolant.
  
  
• As per his own modifications, mostly so he could eat his own poisonous food as often as he does without consequences or guilt, his stomach is modified to provide him with an alternate source of fuel: organic/biochemical. Meaning, what he eats keeps him functioning if he lacks any other method of recharging. 
  
  The only real downside to this modification is an inability to vomit. So, if he eats something he really shouldn’t, he has no way of getting it out of his body without help.
  
  He still mostly eats cake for the pure taste of it and due to his own obsession. He does not absolutely need to unless far from any source of power, and even then he would only require one meal a day. The meal wouldn’t even need to be actual food, just something organic
  
  Grass, insects, or raw meat (for example, he doesn’t eat these normally) would be emergency choices.

• If you found it hard to tell from the avatar (a common mistake I love taking advantage of), this Logic is male.
  His more female hairstyle, body type, and (occasionally) personality are nods toward my personal headcanon of the original GLaDOS cores being primarily female with the exception of Anger/Emotion.
  
  When I first started with this Logic, I played him as a female before going on a few-months-long hiatus… for my own reasons. 
  When I came back, I started as a core again to gauge peoples’ general thoughts and it turned out as leaning far towards Logic being male (just as they had seemed to back when I played him as female, go figure).
  
  He still remembers being female, and actually does still possess his original female programming rather than that of a male, but won’t readily admit to it. In fact, he won’t even tell those closest to him unless they find out for themselves.
  
  If asked, he’ll admit to the change in gender being voluntary. He just thinks he makes a better male.
   
• He will not use contractions such as “can’t,” “won’t,” or “I’ll.”
  He’s perfectly capable of using them and will do so if he’s asked, particularly frightened, or in some other strange state of mind. He avoids them in normal conversation just to sound smarter than whoever he might be speaking to.
  
  Honestly makes a lot of conversations seem awkward, and it’s turned into such a verbal tic that he just can’t seem to stop.
   
• He’s not exactly bisexual, but close enough to it that you could stick that label to him without any fuss. He’s been with both genders.
  
  If forced to choose between the two, presuming that any feelings of love are ignored, he’ll be more apt to lean toward men.
  
  Once he decides he likes you in a romantic sort of way, however, you likely aren’t going to have any trouble with keeping him loyal. He will stick to you like absolute glue and will do most anything to keep you happy.
   
• He “does not want to go back to his kitchen, Anger’s room is much more comfortable at the moment.”

MINI FUNTIME FACTS!

• Logic is missing one of upper-left bicuspids.
  
  This is due to a little mishap on his part. He was eating hard candies one day and absentmindedly bit down on one. He wasn’t entirely versed in food safety, being an android with a nigh-indestructible stomach, and had no idea what to do when the sticky candy effectively glued his jaw shut.
  
  So, he panicked and forced his mouth open with all the strength he had… ripping out the tooth. He keeps it like that just to remind himself that he’s an idiot, and because he’s too embarrassed to fix it.
   
• His hands are always covered in little nicks, scars, and general cuts. This is because he’s terribly clumsy with knives.
  
  He can throw knives with some accuracy and use them in self defense, its the only weapon he’s comfortable with, but he just finds it hard to use them safely while cooking.
  
  Not to mention, with the constant cooking he does, it’s no surprise that he’ll just space out while working on something and hurt himself in the process.
   
• He’ll eat most anything, and loves strange combinations. He’s the sort of guy who you might walk in on dipping sardines in chocolate sauce, or pouring cheese on pancakes. (the pancakes are actually pretty good)
