After Mono's birth, did Omni ever regrow their helix, or do they just live the rest of their life with a single helix? And can Omni still make a mini Omni when they die with just one helix?
Pluris are resilient creatures! They can take losing an eye, antenna, arm, or half of their helix and even half if the outer shell of their core and it will all regrow! If Omni were to choose to pass on and reproduce new pluris, they would have to have an intact complete core; Double helix, outer shell, and core. If they hadn't recovered yet, they'd threaten their own life and perpetuation by stretching their core out. It's the one thing they recognize pain in. If the inner core of a pluris gets stretched out, damaged, etc it immediately threatens their life. It can also cause their regenerative abilities to act up. Any new pluris that came out of forcing a split in this state would likely not make it. One would just be a blob that would be unable to take shape and the other would likely end up with one of the few pluris-specific diseases/disorders that is life threatening. (I have a comic I haven't finished about this, I'll try to get more stuff done ahh.)
However, overall Pluris are probably the one creature in the universe that is 1000% aware of their mortality as well as the state of their insides without the use of medical equipment. So aware that they know that their core or one of their 'organs' are missing something so they know they need to eat immediately to regenerate. Their main instinct is to survive, so unless they panic split in a healing process they would know that now is not the time.
Fascinating anatomy question though! I hope that all made sense! I had to rush an answer on my phone, I've got a long drive today. (Spending a couple weeks in the middle of no where, where it is safe!) If you have any more questions or need some clarification, feel free to send another ask or comment below. I won't be able to answer till late tonight but I WILL always reply! 💙 Have a wonderful day!
Some WIPs! Running through them:
1: Obviously all the agents from Splatoon, in how I have them set up in my game. I just love them much!
2: OmniPJ Kiss comic. Omni and Nemo, despite growing up in different areas and different ways, share a lot of form types. So if Omni gets a monkey form, it will look similar to Nemo’s as well as the same type of monkey. If Nemo were to go to skeletal form, it would be a different color but pretty much the same with some slight personal changes. So I just played with Omni being a monkey. It’s always easy to tell which one is which twin with their birthmarks.
3: I am finally showing you guys what Mallory looks like. Mal is the informational Pluris that will be giving all the basic info about pluris, how they work, society, physical forms, etc. I just kind of threw shit together in the back to aid in how it will be set up.
4: My dnd character, Willow. Tiefling cleric. I’ve been doodling them a lot in my downtime. I like them a lot.~
I also have some WIPs for a Markiplier and Jacksepticeye fanart piece, but those are pretty much finished so I don’t want to post those lol. But they exist. If you have a preference what you all want to watch for the stream and see posted next. reply to this with what sounds like fun! Or drop me an anon message if you’re too shy.~
Would Omni have the ability to combine multiple forms? Like, for an example, a spider and a skeleinkton? Also, does Omni have a kitty or wolf form, or nah?
I totally forgot this one ask was in here, ack, sorry! But the answer is no. Not unless they met a genuine hybrid. They can.. kind of fudge their anatomy, but they can’t just BUILD a new species for their self on a whim. A skelinkton might be a different story because of it’s bodily makeup being so flexible. However, it would still be just too much of a hassle to give something with a different body shape something elses body makeup. It’s just.. it’s energy consuming and not really worth it. It’s better to just copy, change some colors, and move on with ya bad self. Blending in and shit. While many Pluris do take as many positions in good standings in society, they don’t try to look out of place. So hybrid forms would most likely be avoided unless it’s a common hybrid in the area they decide to stay in.
Would Omni be afraid of being left behind? Like, being abandoned by those they love.
Absolutely. A majority of Omni’s life has been revolved around people who consider them family. Surrounded by friends, a place to call home. If they were suddenly abandoned, it would terrify them, scare them, and deeply wound them. At that point, they might just divide into two new Pluris because they believe their time enjoying their life is over, they aren’t needed so if they disappear now, that means no one would go looking for them. Meaning, it would be a good way to pass the baton to the next generation of pluris without leaving and loose ends.
Pluris, unlike us, are completely aware and unafraid of their own mortality. They know when it is it time to reproduce, or when their biological clock is nearing the last remaining days. Those like Omni that have a web of people in their life would spend that remaining time to tie up loose ends before dividing. Allowing themselves to simply die would be a waste, so they pick their death day by dividing/reproducing. Which is what Omni would do given the circumstances.
As the first set refers to one of the characters here, I figured it best to post the two near one another. Again, information about them will be listed out below!
Nemo-Master Climber with the best sense of humor.
Nemo is by far one of my favorite characters I have made thus far. This character actually has nothing to do with Circus Town as they tour the world to see its sights. Nemo does not go by any gender pronoun and doesn’t see theirself as ever having a gender (not like they do anyway). When asked about their gender, they will drag you around in a drawn out joke till you finally give up.
Nemo is incredibly loud and high energy, always ready for a new adventure! Despite being created from the same parent cell as Omni, Nemo is their complete and utter opposite. Nemo feels no strong family connections, as a typical pluris wouldn’t either, but still enjoys being social. If there is a party, count them in. They have a type of personality that can either be incredibly amusing and fun or just straight up annoying-there really is no in between. However, on the plus side is that Nemo rarely if ever gets angry just as Omni. This is another typically pluris trait, but their laid back personality has also allowed them to preserve that trait.
Nemo will visit Circus Town from time to time due to the hiking and climbing attractions of the lovely mountainous area. Plus, there’s a circus in the center of it with lots of candy floss??? What’s not to like???
Leopold Merrit - friend to everyone.
Leopold, or Leo as he prefers to be called, runs the circus town. He’s a jolly guy, friendly to each passing person. Leo takes the cake as one of the most down to earth people in the world. I’ll try to run through his story in as few words as I can, but he is a fascinating person.
Leo came from a rich family and became fascinated with the circus when he was a young boy. He worked very hard to start off his traveling circus idea for years to come as a child. His parents admired his dedication and loved him deeply. They wanted to support anything he wanted to do. So they aided him. He created a traveling circus from a young age, his parents at his side step by step. He spent several years until his mid 20s doing only a traveling circus. But he wanted to do more. So he decided to take his savings and build the circus town in the most beautiful area he could find in between some major cities. He worked hard to secure everything and allow store owners to set up camp and join in the community he wished to build. Chuck was one of the first people, having lived nearby. Chuck was never married, as he was married to his work. He had been to several of Leo’s shows, so he admired him.
Omni was created about two years after the town had begun construction. The Circus Master now having been dating a lovely woman for a few years. His to-be wife oversaw much of the construction and helped with designing advertisements for his idea for the town. Chuck offered to build a mascot carving for the entrance from the parking lot. Which is still standing today. Chuck wanted to settle down and live in a much prettier place and decided that the town would both suit what he was looking for as well as contribute to this man's glorious dreams. So he set up shop. Construction went by quickly as many of the people who had loved the man's work began sending donations to build the town. His parents sent him weekly checks from their profits. (His mother is a master jewel craftier who gets commissioned almost constantly from wealthy people world wide as well as owning and managing her own jewelry store chain. Leo’s father is a world known mystery novelist.) They'd send him half their profits, still allowing money for themselves to maintain their nice living.
The next couple of years, Omni was still having trouble finding where to go and what to do. They often would get paid cash for doing house work for people, but the poor bean didn't have a place to live or a lot of nice clothes. Pluris don't need to eat too terribly often in a pinch, so they managed. The circus master still did tours now and again as it would be a waste to leave his nice traveling carts to rot. So Omni got the chance to actually see the performance by bumping into Chuck, who was on the ride with to assist with all the heavy lifting. Omni got into a conversation with him, and Chuck genuinely liked them. Omni was about 3-4 years old; they weren't dressed rather nicely. Upon finding Omni had no where to go, Chuck offered to pay their entry fee to the show since they typically wouldn't be able to view otherwise.
Since Omni had been fascinated with a recent colored skeleton that past by and it was a feminine day, this is where their Lavender Skeleton form became a bigger part of their life. Omni was amazed by the show, adored it. And Chuck asked the Circus Master if Omni could join the trip since they had no other place to go. The circus master then gave Omni a job for the trip. Omni hasn't left them since.
Both Chuck and the Circus Master did eventually find out what Omni was a couple years later, kind of by accident. Each acted a little amazed and a tad over curious, the circus master even more so (cuz it would be an interesting act to add to the show.) Omni did forgive them, as they were like family. Pluris are kind of a hush-hush species that don't really announce themselves to anyone, to which Omni explained. But the two were super cool about it since then. Omni's been with the circus town and has watched it grow over the next 14 years. But the circus master is such a loving guy and he takes care of his people. His parents died when Omni was about 12 years old, and out of all his years, that was the first time he has ever missed a show. He even scheduled a day for both mourning and appreciation for loved ones.
Leopold also had a daughter a few years ago with his wife. However, his wife did not survive long after the child’s birth. This was the second time the Leo ever missed a show. But he understands that there will be loss. He has done his best to support his daughter Lillian since then with the help of all of circus town.
*Lillian - Like mother, like daughter.
I would like to point out that Lillian is three years older than Monochrome. So in current RPs that are available between this blog and @the-printers-jammed Lillian is still a baby. This is simply what she looks like years in the future.
Lillian is Leo’s daughter, and oh my did she take drastically after her mother. Lillian is a headstrong child with no fear of failure. She is incredibly intelligent and will eventually apply her skills to managing circus town when she grows up. She’s got such a goofy sense of humor and loves picking on Monochrome in a harmless way. Lillian is a very supportive person who wants everyone to achieve their best.
She loves the color blue, specifically baby blue. This may be in part to her favorite baby sitter from the town having worn the color often. Another fun fact is how little interest she has in any form of relationship other than family. To Lillian, everyone in Circus Town are family and that’s all she needs to be happy.
So this is super long overdue. Glad to finish it finally! Interesting new color change for Omni though~ Gotta admit, I did go a tiny bit overboard (not quite full scale but meh). I figured since they are able to change their overall design at will, this was just the result of the idea. It was fun. C:
Now if you don’t know what this is from, I did open requests for a little bit asking people for a form, a gender, and an outfit. So this is not an AU of Omni, it’s just an outfit thing. XD
I did make a reference page anyway though at the request of @charaline so there ya go.~
Hey, I have a question about Omni :y You said one time (I don't remember very well ;w;) that pluris have a shorter lifespan compared to a human's one, so, that would mean Omni would die soon? Not that soon, like, dunno, when Mono would be a grown-up :v (if anything about Mono is wrong, I'm sorry, I really don't know about the OmniPJ family ;u; The question just passed through my head, and I got curious about it ;^; sorry if I bothered u c': and have a nice day uwu)
Yes, pluris do have a shorter life span than humans. Pluris live to be around 60-70 years old. So, if Mono is 11, Omni is around halfway through their life.
Wonder how that’s gonna effect the family later? >:3c
( @skoopskoop @7goodangel we’ve all discussed this already but just to bring it up again. C: )
OKAY SO. because I’m actually doing a LOT better at drawing humans, I decided to draw Omni’s male human form purely for anatomy practice reasons and I actually like how this turned out? except for the towel and hands, those are shit still but. This was simply just for anatomy practice and it just made me really happy to finish. I wanted to draw Omni after going swimming or something as a human to give me the excuse to draw the body shape a little more. They so lil and super cute. And apparently tired in this image. XD
Figured I’d just share it. I usually don’t share doodles or anatomy practice doodles, meh. Maybe I should start posting them more?
