OBJ

[CW: very simple/brief mentions of reproduction (literally just a mention cmon now it's a SFW thread)]

ORIGIN

Originated in Luxson
Created by mass mutation of Luxson Cluster-based corvice during/after the Luxson Horror Plague
No real first morph due to the way they were created
????

CULTURE

OBJs outside of the Cluster are rarer, whereas corvice are more common.
When exposed to horror mutation at all however, becoming an OBJ is very likely regardless of zone.
Casings have to be imported or made custom for those outside the Cluster.
OBJ are often highly social, though many older OBJ have reservations due to traditional corvice culture.
Older OBJ either completely reject corvice culture or remain deeply rooted in it.
Some younger OBJ (especially those born as OBJ), lean more towards West Luxson's culture/aesthetics, not unlike beatfoxes.
Horror plague was in 296 RE, modern day is 316 RE- OBJ around 20 years or younger were born OBJ and are more likely to take part in more beatfox-esque cultural shit
OBJ older than 20 years old were, at some point, corvice, and went through the mutation process.
Many OBJ remain loyal to Anne's religion, though they are overtaken numbers-wise by those who reject it and embrace their newfound freedom
Low amount of Stope worshipers.
Average amount of Fallow worshipers.
Religion outside of the Cluster varies.
Mutated species, resulted from mass mutation.
Many corvice died in the process of becoming OBJ, and procedures have been put in place to help minimize risk for those mutating.
Said procedures are not as readily available outside of the zone though, making travel to the Cluster for surgeries more desirable.
High rate of disability due to the level of horror mutation, both physical and mental.
Disability accommodations are everywhere as a result, though those outside the Cluster may struggle more.
Goods often take inspiration from a mix of East and West Luxson styles, with some OBJ remixing the East Luxson aesthetic as a form of rejecting their old culture.
OBJ, like corvice, tend to prefer nest-like or enclosed sleeping arrangements. Hammocks, blanket forts, canopy beds, and enclosed bunks all work well.
OBJ can have a hard time getting jobs outside of the Cluster due to their arm/wing configurations, though many can find specialty jobs that fit their niche.
Bedding material is highly valued, and many OBJ enjoy gathering/collecting it.
Ponchos are a typical clothing item, valued due to its ease of putting on/taking off, and the range of motion it provides.
OBJ, now residing primarily under XXI's guidance, take part in the apprenticeship system. Some traditional corvice style schooling systems exist, but they are rare and often expensive.
Getting work is far easier for OBJ in the Cluster, as corvice-based jobs can be filled with ease.
OBJ enjoy collecting in general, getting great satisfaction from amassing a choice pile of clutter.
OBJ are deceptively good at fighting so long as they aren't punctured- getting hit with a wing can be compared to getting hit with a sack of wet cement.
OBJ jaw strength varies based on the head casing, but particularly durable ones can break skin or even bite down to the bone.
Head casings often reflect both status and personal taste, with quality showing how much money an OBJ (or their family) is willing to invest.
????

APPEARANCE

OBJ are generally heavier set on average than most species, with thinner OBJ being far less frequent.
OBJ markings are rare, but typically consist of horizontal rings- usually circling the torso/legs entirely, but partial rings do exist.
Voice consists of awful slimy/sloshy sounds. They're gross.
OBJ have head casings, containers (usually with a mouth mechanism built in) that replace their lost heads.
OBJ casings are typically based off of objects.
OBJ without casings are extremely rare (and in the eyes of many, foolish) due to the sensitivity of OBJ slime.
OBJ with hair are rare, having it built into their casings.
"Typical" OBJ height range is 4'0-6'0, though there are always outliers.
Digitigrade legs
????

BIOLOGY

All slime inside an organic shell.
OBJ slime is extremely sensitive, with puncture wounds causing the most pain.
No brain or organ systems- the OBJ consciousness is spread throughout the slime itself.
Limbs that are severed/amputated can be reattached if done quickly enough, so long as the slime within the limb is able to reconnect with the main body's.
Consciousness works similarly to a TCP's- detached parts of the body contain a degree of consciousness that fades given time and distance.
Losing limbs or parts of the body is intensely distressing to an OBJ due to this consciousness loss, and can come with memory loss, loss of coordination, and emotional changes.
OBJ that were formerly corvice have an additional trauma response to this, due to the traumatic experience of head bursting.
OBJ head casings often have jack o' lantern teeth, though other shapes exist.
OBJ have average energy levels, though they grow more sluggish in the cold.
Punctured OBJ tend to avoid water, as getting waterlogged is both extremely dangerous, painful, and unpleasant.
OBJ use their entire body to emote, partially due to no longer having much in the way of facial expressions. Shoulders in particular reflect an OBJ's mood, with hunched shoulders indicating tension.
OBJ sense their surroundings through awareness vs direct sensory input, but can still detect things like color.
OBJ love stimming on things. They love it.
Excess slime production leads to "sludge drool", vomiting, and headaches. Can be helped with medication, but it isn't cheap.
Inadequate slime production leads to difficulty moving, overall sickness, and full body weakness.
Omnivorous
Lifespan of 90 years, reach maturity at 18-20
????

LIFE CYCLE/FAMILY STRUCTURE

OBJ reproduce sexually, and are a unisex species.
As with the vast majority of Morbit species, OBJ identify as whatever fits best for them- however, they pronouns are most common.
OBJ give live birth, and typically only have one child.
Baby OBJ are extremely fragile and require medical care as soon as possible to ensure their health remains stable.
Baby OBJ have very thin skin, and are often wrapped up in thick blankets and clothing to keep them safe.
Young OBJ are less adventurous than most due to their fragile nature, and many keep to the indoors until it's safe for them to venture out into an unfamiliar environment.
OBJ have adopted the chosen family structure for the most part due to corvice schools disbanding, and due to their children needing more direct care than before.
As such, families can get pretty big.
OBJ embrace both casual and committed relationships, though marriage is seen frequently.
OBJ leave the family for apprenticeships once their bodies are solid enough, those leaving earlier put into way more danger.
????

GENETICS

OBJ morphs only require they be based on an animal, regardless of what kind.
Mixed morph OBJ typically resemble hybrid animals, with those having heavily mixed parents resembling creatures no one has ever seen.
Head casings do not pass down, as they are artificial.
OBJ have hit their maximum mutation threshold, and are at high risk of turning terror if further exposed.
OBJ hybrids with other species are possible due to the OBJ's ability to crossbreed with pretty much anything that sexually reproduces, but said hybrids are often unstable and unhealthy due to the high amount of horror mutation and possible biological incompatibility.

BIRD

"????”

description

First corvice morph, so most plentiful OBJ morph

BAT

"????"

description

Fairly common morph, comes from bat corvice (developed as a result of underground communities + Monte)

[full size]

MAMMAL

"????"

????

Comes from mammal corvice

RULES

This is a species development thread! Here you can have discussion on the species presented, and offer suggestions/ideas for developing them- thus directly contributing to the species! Anything is fair game so long as it follows the restrictions (if any are listed). This main post will be updated as we go, allowing for people to always have an up to date resource on the species.

Restrictions/No-go's

Keep it SFW!!!!

does OBJ slime mess with electronics? come to think of it, would their horror radiation levels in general?

OBJ don't actively radiate, though i'd imagine that getting OBJ slime on electronics and shit would end pretty badly- it's goopy and i'd be willing to bet that it'd be sensory overload for the OBJ pretty quick
