one of my roleplay characters is Haxel, a horror (genre) type who is very passionate about slasher movies and talks like a slasher serial killer itself. this thread will keep track of completely made-up morbit slasher movies that it likes, whether it mentions them in-character or if it just occurs to me at random.

other people are free to reply to the "movies" "showcased" on this thread to add their own input, like community lore or maybe their own character's specific opinion of the movie (or even funnier, the Popular Opinion of the movie as a whole). IN FACT, other people are free to post their own made-up morbit horror movies here, acting like a library of community micro-worldbuilding.

also, general warnings for (non-detailed) descriptions of movie violence/gore/murder and discussing horror movie tropes, possibly even ones that aren't great, individual posts will get CWed if needed

i didn't want to bump the 2019 mascot name thread so i'm gonna use this one from now on.

hi! i've been adding community-owned TCPs to the morbit specimen section of the TCPdex. you can see most of them there! there's a few community-owned TCPs that don't have names yet. similar to the mascot names thread, feel free to suggest names for these TCPs, and the name with the most votes will be the name of the wiki page. if there's a tie, we'll put it up to a poll!

heres your naming candidates today (images at 75% size) :

thanks to @AceOfNothing for commissioning these way back when also, they paid for both of these!
this thread might get use in the future after these two because i'm still up in the air about my own commission stuff right now...

[hacking cough] it's fine there's just dust in my lungs

anyway HELLO I'm Bard (among many other names) and I am simply here to obsess over tiny cat people, among other things
I got dragged here from the Petz community and I'm now going to make it everyone else's problem

I do Not bite and am, in fact, very friendly, if also very nervous about Messing Up new social interactions, so ... Be Not Afraid, etc etc

[TASTY_TREAT]:

how's everybody's darkest night going? ^_^

[PICTURE_PERFECT]: 

i want to start a club for spooky TCPs

if you are a spooky TCP you can join this club

i won't define what that means it's self assigned

A new modifier has been discovered at the TCPDex research facility, and just in time for the season, too! It looks like exposing a TCP to scraps with pertinent memories of Darkest Night festivities can change their physical form into something... spookier. The process is a bit inconsistent- different TCPs and different memories may affect the transformation in a variety of different ways! But not to worry, if something happens that you don't like, the research team has time type TCPs on hand to restore your original form, provided you change your mind within a few days.
 

Show ContentSUBJECT 000- PRIMUS (noncanon obviously):

BEFOREAFTER

Visual Changes- Blue markings turned to purple, additional grey markings resembling vines added to body with a triangular marking in the center, skull marking added to face. Chest flap has "Trick or Treat???" written on it with an arrow indicating either tricks or treats are inside. Head zipper became open and is now filled with a variety of candies.

Ability Changes- Primus will gradually generate candy in his head cavity over time. This candy can be given to other TCPs to provide an energizing and minor healing effect. The healing effect of Primus' chest cavity has been reduced, but he can now generate food items inside at the cost of health. These items are restricted to being either a "trick" or a "treat"- tricks being food items rigged to melt, spray, or cause other such harmless mayhem, and treats being regular food items. While Primus may consume the items he generates for an energizing effect, it will not restore his health.

Show ContentSUBJECT 001- CHAINBOUND:

BEFORE AFTER
Visual Changes- Sweater became darker, main skin tone changed to a more purplish hue. Fae wings replaced by bat wings. Two additional markings on the face resembling fangs.

Ability changes- Fae type aura seems more inclined towards deals of a nefarious nature. Narrator type aura specifically causes others to narrate as if they were in a horror story. Chainbound is able to slowly drain the health of other TCPs by touching their face to them, although the slow rate of health drain makes it impractical for most situations, requiring a few minutes or more to have a significant effect. Notably, there is very little sensation when one's health is being drained, making this ability best used when others are sleeping.

Show ContentSUBJECT 002- SUNRISE:

BEFORE AFTER

Visual changes: Fabric on body is much rougher, has several stitches in it, and is a dull tan. Scarf around neck is a slightly brighter orange. Head color changed to purple with black outline and markings.

Ability changes: The treasures Sunrise generates now appear to be haunted in various ways- they seem to move when no one is looking, and can even alter or manipulate other objects nearby to a minor degree. The hauntings, while often mischievous in nature, are almost never truly harmful.

Show ContentSUBJECT 003- HAZARD:

BEFORE AFTER

Visual changes: Body color changed to green with yellow and red stripes. Fluid is much denser, and tastes of rich caramel. Bite mark present in neck, revealing fruity material inside. Stem visible on top of head. Several layers of cellophane are wrapped loosely around Hazard's body, giving her a mummy-like appearance.

Ability changes: No changes to original ability, however Hazard now seems to function the same way as a food type in that parts of her body can be removed in order to feed to other TCPs. Regeneration happens at a similar rate to most food types, and the effect given is a combination of healing and energizing. Test subjects reported a strong similarity to caramel apples.

Show ContentSUBJECT 004- SPELL:

BEFORE AFTER

Visual Changes: Overall coloration of main body is much paler. Eyebrows shifted to a more fearful expression. Tail head has grown significantly and is a deep purple, with the tail gradually shifting to the blue of the main body. Tail head has developed a large, toothy maw, enlarged eyespots, and several tendrils.

Ability Changes: Teddy bear aura remains normal. Chimera aura is now semi-controlled by the tail head, and can be directed towards nearby flammable objects. The tail head has developed a distinct mind and personality, and seems to be mischievous in nature.

Show ContentSUBJECT 005- FORREST:

BEFORE AFTER

Visual changes: Body and cape color changed to pale browns and tans. Cape is visibly tattered and torn, and dirt stains are present on the body. Vines have grown over the TCP's legs, left arm, and head.

Ability Changes: Rate at which health drains is increased, but the ability now only works on those alone in a wooded area.

Show ContentSUBJECT 006- INDIE:

BEFORE AFTER

Visual Changes: Colors changed to pastel blue and pink. Metal wireframe structures added to sides of head. Miniature metal shields added to wrists, each bearing a stylized logo of an angel.

Ability Changes: The protrusions on Indie's head appear to be special sensors that can detect when an angel is nearby. No changes to original ability.

Show ContentSUBJECT 007- FUNGUS:

BEFORE AFTER

Visual changes: Body color changed to dark grey with dark red and blue splotches. The dark red markings bear glowing spiral patterns on them, and change to a purple color where they intersect with the blue splotches.

Ability changes: Gazing at the spiral patterns on Fungus' body may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, with subjects becoming unconscious if they continue looking for prolonged periods of time. No changes to original ability.

Show ContentSUBJECT 008- PLATINUM:

BEFORE AFTER

Visual Changes: Body color changed to green, tan, and dark red. Left and right heads are now blue and orange respectively, and each head has gained bony protrusions- the blue head has a pair of tusks, the yellow head has a row of horns, and the orange head has a row of sharp teeth.

Ability Changes: Original auras weakened. Each head can project a different type of energy from its snout at the cost of health- the blue head can shoot ice, the yellow head lightning, and the orange head fire. Overall strength and constitution has increased.

Show ContentSUBJECT 009- BAUBLE:

BEFORE AFTER

Visual changes: Body color changed to a dull white with dark grey buttons and markings. Screen color changed to a pale green. Eye color and electricity color changed to a bright yellow. Two copper pipes added to back with a large metal coil on the ends of each one. Electrical energy is more prominent between the earnubs and is also emitting from the coils.

Ability changes: Bauble seems to constantly generate electricity from their coils, and can use it to power devices, other TCPs, or even their own ability, which has not changed from the standard mobile phone type ability.

Show ContentSUBJECT 010- LYS:

BEFORE AFTER

Visual changes: Main body color changed to green. Fluid is a slightly darker hue. Spots on the flower have been replaced with tiny thornlike teeth. Several more rows are visible inside the central stem.

Ability changes: Flower can fold inwards to approximate the appearance of a rose and conceal the teeth. Flower can now function as a mouth with a small cavity in the head for storing food. This allows Lys to "digest" some normal foods, with effects similar to ingesting food-type products. No changes to original ability.

Show ContentSUBJECT 011- BRISK:

BEFORE AFTER

Visual changes: Body color changed to a haphazard mix of greens and browns, several rusty prosthetics added to body including pistons on the left arm and right knee, a spinal support and a set of bolts on the neck, and a set of gripper claws on the right foot.

Ability changes: Any patchwork areas Brisk creates will consistently be made of old, rugged fabric held in place by rusty staples. Left arm and right leg are considerably stronger, and right foot can grip onto softer surfaces.
