Martian Scientist M-2

Greetings, earthlings! I am martian scientist M-2. I live on Mars as a scientist for the Martian Empire! I study martian culture and anatomy and such, and post my findings here for earthlings to absorb! My pronouns are he/him. - (NOTE/OOC: this is an oc roleplay account owned and run by https://www.tiktok.com/@archies.kyogre.69)

OOC announcement post!

hello guys! i just wanted to post this to let you guys know ive pretty much lost all motivation for this account as my hyperfixation on duck dodgers (and looney tunes as a whole) has faded. i still love it, but im less than half as enthusiastic as i was about it before. my hyperfixations always have a habit of returning, though, and im proud of what i did manage to write, so im going to keep this account (and its posts) up.

i had more ideas, and i had more studies, but i just cant seem to put them onto paper anymore. im sorry if this disappointed anyone, since i wasnt active on this account for very long, but i hope you enjoyed what i did post in my time on this account.

to send off, heres some art that i dont think i ever posted here! the first one is m-2 in traditional martian clothing, and the second one is m-2's first/concept design! not my proudest works, but i thought id show them anyway.

thank you to everyone that followed me! as kyogre, i might start my own tumblr now instead! if i end up going through with it, you'll be able to find it on my carrd, and probably a tiktok announcement when i do.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! <3

Merry Christmas, earthlings!

I've been informed that many earthlings celebrate a tradition known as "Christmas" today! It seems wonderful, so I'm going to give a gift in celebration to my fellow members of the Empire! I hope they like them!

Also, my deepest apologies. My posts here have been very slow, and it is unfortunately due to the fact I've been lacking the motivation to write. I promise I haven't forgotten about this blog, earthlings! I'll try to upload another study very soon.

On that note, merry Christmas, and have a happy new year, earthlings!

(OOC: I GOT ALL OF DUCK DODGERS ON BLU RAY FOR CHRISTMAS!! im so happy :3 but yeah, sorry for not uploading, ill try write more soon!)

Apologies, earthlings!

I have only just realised I forgot to mention Instant Martians in my previous post, so I'll touch on them a little now.

Instant Martians, despite their name, aren't similar in any way to us martians, being an entirely different species. We look completely different, with different biology entirely. That is why I didn't mention them - they're not something I study as much as my own species' biology.

They're made in labs, completely synthetic, hence their "instant" nature. They grow like plants, only needing water to instantly grow and thrive, and they're more seen as tools for battle, or used to help around households and such. However, many befriend them, or have them as pets. Their purpose (and rights) are debated frequently.

Again, however, it's not something I personally specialise in, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway.

Army martians, regular martians, and royal martians...

...are the titles that are decided at birth for all martians.

Like earthling tradition, martian babies can be born into royalty. However, if there is no ruler alive (which RARELY occurs, since us martians can live for thousands of years, and there are many respected elders aside from Our Queen), a King or Queen can be born and crowned without royal parents.

Army martians are identified by the small fluff that sprouts from the top of their head at birth, and the base of the helmet. This will grow into a large, broom-like shape as they grow up, along with the helmet growing out (yes, it is part of the body).

This is demonstrated below. As you can see (with this generously provided baby photo of Commander X-2), from a very young age, he has the small starting sprout of the fluff of his broom - the broom itself will grow out with age, along with his helmet.

Shifting our attention to the picture of... his skeleton, we can see the base of the broom is made up of lots of long bones that are attached to his body, proving its biological attachment to the martian body.

Most army martians are male, but female occurrences have been recorded. These martians grow up training to be in the Martian Military, and eventually join it once sufficiently trained.

However, I can't help but remember seeing Commander X-2 without a helmet... is he really an army martian...?

Right. I should be focusing on facts for now.

Simply put, regular martians are classified when broom fluff and the base of a helmet is not present at birth. They are equally recorded male and female. These martians grow to be normal citizens on Mars, and do not join the Martian Military.

I, myself, am a regular martian, although I'm sure that's obvious now, after what you have learned.

Martian noses...

...are a complex matter. As a species, we state frequently that we lack noses, HOWEVER, we do have "nose-like" organs on our faces, as shown below with Our Queen Tyr'ahnee:

However, we can still smell. How is that, when we do not have noses?

Well, the answer is quite simple - while we don't use the earthling term "nose" to describe the organ, it is basically the same, you just cannot visibly see our nostrils.

A similar thing can be said for our mouths and lips. While you cannot see them visibly, they are indeed there. We do use the terms mouth and lips, however.

The martian mouth can be described as a sort of black hole, invisible to the naked eye, as it blends in perfectly with the colour of our skin.

Greetings fellow Martian! It is an honor to see a Martian so dedicated to Martian culture! I appreciate your efforts. I don't believe.. I am from the same universe as you, but it is admirable nevertheless. Maybe we could meet sometime across the galaxy, wouldn't that be lovely?

Greetings, fellow martian Marvin! Thank you so much for your compliments, they are greatly appreciated!

You don't think we're from the same universe...? Oh, that's a shame. But it's still fantastic to meet other martians on this silly little earthling site!

Meeting you sometime would be wonderful, even if we had to use some sort of multiverse teleportation device! I'll be sure to bring it up with the engineers in the Martian Empire sometime! It would be very lovely indeed.

Happy Halloween!

I've been informed the earthling tradition of "Halloween" is today! Happy Halloween, earthlings! I tried carving pumpkins, since the Protectorate seemed to do that in the Halloween spirit, but it's harder than it looks. Apparently you're also meant to dress up, and get free candy as a result? Isn't that lovely! I just hope Dodgers won't be bothering us in some silly costume. Our Commander is easily frightened...

Martians are a sapient humanoid species that hails from the planet Mars. They are easily recognizable by their black feature-less skin, a pa

What a wonderful article on martian research! Be sure to give this one a read, earthlings! Albeit there are a few errors and some missing information, most of it is correct and very insightful!

Oh, and by the way, thank you for your support on my research posts, earthlings! I'm so happy to see others interested in learning about martians! <3

The martian language...

...is very common on Mars, but mostly unknown to earthlings. Some earthlings may have seen it written on martian letters, or heard it spoken briefly, or seen it on signs around Mars. Here is an example, that in English, would read "Nutrient Capsules":

Usually, to accommodate the majority of earthlings, we learn and speak a large multitude of languages aside from Martian, including English, like I am speaking right now.

But Martian is still our mother tongue, and is comprised of a lot of sounds not usually made by earthlings.

While there is a completed alphabet, we do not share it with earthlings, as it may give them an advantage if a large war between Earth and Mars were to occur, and we needed to communicate information between each other in secret.

A common question wondered by earthlings...

...is how come male martians cover up below the waist, yet female martians don't have to? Well, female martians don't play the role in reproduction you may have initially thought. Unlike earthlings, female martians lack sexual organs below the waist, only a small hole for waste to exit the body (yes, only one - martians are more developed than earthlings in most ways), whereas male martians have 2 (retractable) tentacles used for asexual and sexual reproduction, and an additional hole for the tentacle (and also birthing) below the waist, therefore they feel the need to cover up (by the way, earthling readers, I will make a more detailed research post on martian reproduction soon!). This isn't to say all female martians don't cover up below the waist - they simply don't have to. Modesty in lower-class martians is a larger part of martian culture than you might think, so really the only female martian we see in day-to-day life that doesn't fully cover up below the waist is Our Queen, Tyr'ahnee.

Traditional martian clothing...

...differs quite a bit to earthling clothing.

In earthling terms, it can be described as mix between ancient Egyptian and Roman clothing. Togas and headdresses are extremely common for the casual martian, whereas for army martians, they commonly wear lorica hamatata and galea helmets.

For all genders of martian, covering up hair is very common, a sign of modesty, unless you are very well respected by the general martian public. Male martians shave and wear hair-covering headdresses, and female martians wear veils and hair-covering headdresses.

Jewellery and gold headdresses are very common for female martians of high status, along with facial markings and makeup.

However, martian pyjamas are not unlike earthling pyjamas, being surprisingly similar.

Note: there are exceptions to some of the things I have said, this is just very common.

My first post!

What a fascinating earthling "social media" website! Apologies if my posts are not up to scratch yet. I will be posting my current research soon! Oh, and by the way, this is a picture of me! I quite like this outfit, albeit Commander X-2 says it hurts his eyes.
