Hey! Host here

I realized we haven’t posted here much. I feel like another intro is due, along with some stickynote scribbles maybe?

Do we like touch?

This post was a long time in the making. Getting a response from the quieter ones we don’t know very well took a while, and this isn’t everyone. But here’s a reference list! This for platonic touch. >> These are strictly on the basis that whoever we are around in person has consented to touch or made it clear that touch is welcome - none of us (except for Niall, the 4 year old) touch without consent. 

Jag - Likes being pat on the head/ giving snuggles. Falls asleep on people. Will lay on you.

Lazarus - Doesn’t mind being touched. Indifferent. Likes to hold small people.

Mordred - Likes hugs. Be careful of your ribs he’s enthusiastic.

Bacon - Isn’t touchy, but when he does he’s using it as form of communication.

Harlo - If you advance without warning he might break your arm. 

Fynchard - Hugs when he’s upset or sad are the equivalent to being gifted gold. 

Shade - Is nervous about touch. He doesn’t know what to do with it. Will give hugs.

Krylle - Shy but very affectionate when comfortable.

Hecate - The official harbinger of Shoulder Pats. Maternal gestures.

Berith - Will hide in your shirt. Likes to lean on people to feel secure.

Muffin - Will also hide in your shirt. Likes to sit on laps. Likes to give nuzzles. Is a baby. Likes belly rubs.

Hidrix - Enjoys picking people up for hugs. Welcomes touch.

Harbor - Hand touching / hand holding. Nervous of anything outside of that.

Cross - He will cry. 

Flaum - Enjoys sitting close. Won’t initiate touch.

Zylar - Cuddle Master 3000(TM)

Mustard - Will climb into laps without much warning, he doesn’t speak well. Will poke your shin if needing to be heard.

Niall - Likes to be held, pats people’s arms when ready to fall asleep.

Baine - If you don’t nudge him a few times it’s hard to know if he’s alive or not. Doesn’t mind touch.

Gretchen - Cozy comforting snuggle. Will fix your hair or tuck your shirt tags in. Big Mom Hug Energy(TM)

Y - Is unaware of everything at all times. Likes touch but probably wouldn’t notice.

Tage - Reassuring Hand Pat Dispenser. Likes to mess people’s hair up.

Dog From Basement - N/A. We aren’t sure if it bites or not.

Vyx - Secretly wants all the hugs. Will not pursue the hugs. 

Paris - Will only touch if asked to. Too formal for 2019.

Mordechai - Casual touch. Might nudge you /  take your hand to look at your nail beds when he’s talking. Very open and welcoming to all touch.

Belial - Fatherly Gestures. Will ruffle hair, pat the shoulder, offer hugs. Reserved otherwise.

Gojiira - nah man

Peregrine - Initiates touch after securing personal knowledge of the other person. He is very sad and has a hard time “responding appropriately”.

Valentine - Big doof, will put your hands on his face. Melodramatic leg hugging when he doesn’t want you to leave the room.

Quade - Likes pressure, it helps him nap. Might put his head in your lap when sad.

He was kidnapped (along with many other people who were on their way to school) by an inbred species created at the Capitol, where he stayed enslaved for years.

Not many survived.  Species: Human (slight mutations) Image created via our IMVU account. His name is pronounced “Jagger”.

Mordred

Age: Unknown, but apparently old than 6 centuries System Role: Worker (in the “working paying jobs” and the capability kind of way) // Trauma Holder Appearance: Black messy curly hair like a thick poofy mop, always smiling and it’s creepy, slouchy, black heavy robes, purple skin from his diet Traits: Unnerving presence and energy, but kind and thoughtful. Always busy and always has off-handed fun facts that never relate to the current conversations. Disjointed behavior, but very well spoken when it counts. Likes: Incense, making oils, sculpting, learning about deities and home improvement, ambient music, wooly bear caterpillars Dislikes: Humanity, in general Background: Mordred is an orphan and was given to an orphanage before he was 4, homeland and parents unknown. He grew up to become a travelling merchant, selling odd trinkets he either found or paid people to retrieve for him. He eventually settled near a Gigant territory, where he ended up living for a very long time until Lazarus and Hecate busted in like bulls in a China shop demanding information from him. He became a partner of sorts, serving as an informant and weapons dealer/ repairman for Lazarus (and they’re great friends but Lazarus won’t ever admit that).

Because of Harlo’s species mashup, he wasn’t permitted to stay in Gigant villages and was much smaller than most Gigant males anyway and this obviously posed a threat to his well being as he could easily have been killed or seriously hurt. (Mixed species are deemed impure and undeserving, viewed as abominations etc). He fled to Mines to live, where he eventually ended up as a commander in a mafia, running guns and doing deals with good and bad people alike, and was usually the one to handle “clients” who didn’t hold their ends of bargains.  Species: Vampire/ Gigant mix. Image drawn today and is my own.

Species In the Headspace

Gigant: Gigants are large humanoid peoples characterized by mostly tanned skin tones, heights usually exceeding 6 feet tall, pointed but not elongated ears, and thick bones capable of handling most anything. Females and males have only one difference aside from reproductive organs and that is that males have two hearts, women have only one. Most are aggressive and are known for being good hitmen or bounty hunters, brawlers and bodygaurds due to their naturally muscular stature. They are in majority carnivorous and are not above eating other people, or even members of their own species. Often called by their nickname, “Brutes”.

Seelie: Seelies are small humanoid peoples characterized by their horns and a thin tail attached to their tailbone. Horns differ with race, and can appear small and stubby or large and twisted like ram’s horns. The seelies are divided into two ways of living, currently: civilized and tribal. Some possess interesting magical abilities, and those are usually tribal peoples. Diets are widely omnivorous, but tend to eat the skin of live prey.

Avian: Avians are a humanoid peoples with feathered wings sprouting from the back, attached internally to collar bones and shoulder blades. Wingspans, feather colors and so on differ and vary. These peoples are famously employed as messengers or couriers, and are mostly raised as scholars. No specific diet determined. 

Udara:  Udara are humanoid who are mostly comparable to indigenous peoples, vast majority living off the land and using old ways of hierarchy in tribes or villages. Lack of melanin causes this species to only have hair colors ranging from stark white to strawberry blonde, nothing darker. They are a tall and lanky body structure, with bones full of air pockets. They are a peaceful species that only eats bread or wheat products. Peaceful by nature, usually earning money by resource trades and migrate often.

Osso: Ossos are a species that is humanoid with some bone mass surfacing above the skin, causing them to look like sugar skulls in the face. This species has wide variety in their ways and appearances but their bones are their defining feature. Like flamingos, an individual of this species will change color depending on their diet. Those who eat raw flesh and blood are usually purple, for example, and those who eat fruit are usually off-white or blue. Most are employed as shopkeeps or museum curators, as they all share a fascination for trinkets.

Vampire: This species are humanoid with hair that is predominantly black and has as wispy, soft texture like that of cat’s hair. Obligatory fangs, some can retract theirs and others cannot. All pure-bloods of this species have a saliva that is an instant healing and disinfectant agent. Pheromones are inviting to most prey. Currently their ways of living are far behind most other species, and are separated into ancient ways and old ways, not even coming close yet to modern ways due to their isolation and lack of touch with the outside world. Diet consists of iron-rich foods, blood and certain types of energy. Often called “Leeches” or “Ticks” as a slur.

 “Anthro”: These are a group of peoples who stay mostly on an island to themselves. This group of peoples are humanoid, with the ears/ tail of an animal. There are many different kinds with correlating personality traits to the kind of animal they are defined as, like hyenas, foxes, chinchillas and many many more. Diets vary by species.

Humans: These peoples are self explanatory and mostly reside in the fallen city of Mines. Most are mutated, either slightly or drastically, due to a nuclear explosion.
