https://homebrewdeviants.com/forum/Thread-WORLDBUILDING-MONTHLY-PROMPT-NOVEMBER-20-Food <- Previous thread

This is a thread to discuss and ask questions relating to the monthly prompt from the current month's (December 2020) newsletter. Please do this here and not in the discord, as it will be easier to reference old topics here. This month, as we near a number of winter holidays, our minds have been filled with thoughts of a certain element of festivities, gifts! Giving friends, family, and -in some cases- total strangers gifts is something that just about everyone has some amount of experience with. We thought that this would be a sensible (and festive) topic for our worldbuilding discussion this month, and we're sure that with your help, we can flesh out some interesting details.

hello! i'm pretty new here, I met Rin through Petz and i'm glad i did! I'm Vash and i'm part of a system but the other system members have been having trouble switching so i have no idea who else you might see around or when tbh, but i'm pretty excited to be here and become a tcp hoarder :> I started doing art again recently and i like to play vidya games

• follow the theme as best you can- feel free to get weird with interpreting it, but the themes are there to help guide things and in some cases, limit things to what the artists Want To Do for this month
  
• no NSFW/harmful suggestions
  
• you Can second/upvote suggestions to weight them higher in the raffle if you like them! this also means you can suggest the same TCP type multiple times if you like.
  
• 5 votes for TCP type additions, 1 vote for species morph additions
  
• keep your TCP type additions to one noun per vote, and your species morph additions to a word/phrase plus reference images AT MOST. please do not draw or write out a full concept or anything like that! it's meant to be a suggestion!!
  
• while we are often too busy to work on extending canon like this in our free time/for fun, any suggestions presented here are considered relinquished to us for potential use down the line, and have a nonzero chance of being added to canon. the only guaranteed way of getting these suggestions in is through commissioning, however, and please do not heckle us about making your suggestions happen on our own time- we do not owe anyone that, and this clause is mainly here in the case of something really resonating with us. 
  
• feel free to make multiple posts if you can't come up with all of your votes in one go!
  

Hello! I'm Sage and I love TCPs. I've found myself doodling them a lot, usually fan types but there's other stuff too! I want to share all this art so here's a thread. How often will I post on it? Who knows! But I'll try to post almost all the stuff I make. Traditional, digital, who knows!

Anyone is free to leave messages here! And please do! Even if I don't respond to them I read them all and I love hearing what people have to say!

To start, here's some doodles I did in class today-

Melon/watermelon type! I think melons are a funny looking food and I couldn't find a melon type on the wiki. Obviously they're a food type, and their fluid would have seeds in it. Other than that they'd probably work the same way as any food type


Highlighter/highlighter ink type. I think I could probably do better with this concept, but the general idea here is that the torso is like a highlighter and then the rest of them is highlighter ink leaking out of it. I don't know what actual type they'd be, I thought maybe form but I'm not sure. I'll have to edit their design a bit before then


Finally, currently my only TCP character, Scott, an abstract space type! I love him very much because he shares a name with one of my OCs (who is also my icon currently) I promise I can draw more poses than that. I promise

This is just a general thread for people to post Morbit related commissions they'd like, whether it be for their own purposes of keeping track of them, or if it's in the hopes that some mysterious gifter may strike in the night!

This thread is for any Morbit related commissions, such as TCP types, hybrids, Morbitian designs, outfit designs, or anything else that you can think of! As always, please keep it sfw.

Rules

• This thread is going to operate by a "one post per person" rule - If you think of more things to add to your list, please edit your post to include it. This is just the keep away clutter and make for easy reading!
  
• If an item on your wishlist is gifted to you, if you buy it yourself, or you simply think you wouldn't want it anymore, please remove it from your list as well.
  

Chat about whatever! Go nuts! As long as it's SFW.

• Highly independent, usually one parent one child.
  
• Very very strong religious ties to XLR, partial ties to Lain.
  
• Nearly universally worship
  
• Injuries are hard and costly in terms of resources to repair, so disability is common, treatments usually involve body modification rather than just repairing to what an injury was before. 
  
• Body modifications of all sorts are commonly targeted to the Melodica
  
• Melodica can sleep just about anywhere, but tend to sleep on beds with tough rubber covers, so their sharp feathers don't cut any bedding.
  
• Cameras and electronics are greatly appreciated
  
• Melodica tend to participate in any education system where they live, descant has a traditional schooling system
  
• Housing in Descant is tightly packed and usually open air, with a select number of covered rooms in each living unit for privacy and projects that can't be exposed to the sky.
  
• Melodica are very durable, and depending on their morph, also highly adept at combat and hunting.
  
• All Melodica talons and feathers are very sharp, and many wear talon caps when doing delicate work.
  
• Podcasts/Videocasts/Songs, and all forms of vocal/visual performance are the most popular forms of entertainment among Melodica
  
• Melodica bathe as normal, but need to be careful about tarnishing and or rusting from exposure to too much water and not drying themselves properly, because of this, many melodica choose to bathe in alcohol and or industrial cleaner where they can obtain it.
  
• ????
  

• Melodica have lots of sharp edges their metallic bodies have an almost glossy texture. Some opt to have a synthetic skin-fur membrane added over different parts of their body, or a more organic feather coat.
  
• Natural body markings are nonexistent, but body modification created ones are common.
  
• Voices tend to sound vocoded and or modulated to some extent, chirps and beeps and whirrs.
  
• Hands and feet end in talons.
  
• Some Melodica have tails of varying length, usually depending on their Morph

• ????
  

• Melodica have a synthetic vascular and muscular system, as well as a fully functioning micro-mechanical CNS and PNS.
  
• Melodica can eat anything, and tastes tend to vary based on preference.
  
• Tend to be high energy, and very exciteable.
  
• Head motion is very important, focus is shown by where the person is looking (direction, not specific). 
  
• Ears are antenna like, and connect to Melodica's heads, they are streamlined so they are not obstructive when they are in flight. 
  
• Eyes are like camera lenses, can be automatically focused and zoomed. 
  
• Melodica need to preen their feathers like other avian species, and the metallic feather stalks can and will grow slowly and continually.
  
• ????
  

• lifespan of 100-120 years
  
• Reproduction occurs between two parents.
  
• Child numbers are usually 1-3
  
• Children learn speech through mimicry, and are at first very sensitive to light until they learn to control their eyes lenses
  
• Family structure is closer to 'traditional family' structure of two parents and children.
  
• Family sizes range from 2-5 People usually, for a generation of Parents + Children.
  
• Committed relationships are more common in Melodica's society, though a larger number on Descant are shifting away from the focus on long term relationship importance.
  
• Children are encouraged to leave when they want, but the importance of family as a home is key to Melodica's society and cultural identity. 
  
• ????
  

• Inspired by various types of bird species and forms of machine power sources.
  
• Mixed morphs are common, but mixed trait expression is uncommon. Unique/mixed traits are respected as a sign of the family that that person came from.
  
• The First Morph were the Songbirds
  
• Hybrid traits typically are their talons and lensed eyes.
  
• Very avian in appearance

• Smallest of the Melodica in height, beaks and talons are more rounded and less sharp than other morphs
  

• Inspired by Corvidae aves, mostly Crows, Ravens, and Jays.
  
• Darker colored metallics. but sometimes brighter blues and white as well.
  
• Songs are lower tones, slower, speech is audibly slower but still conveys the same information rate
  
• Middling in terms of size of the Melodica.
  
• Created later than the other Morphs, when XLR was mourning the deaths of Square and Sine.
  

• Inspidred by Falconidae Aves
  
• More natural tones in their metals, longer tails and longer wingfeathers than other Melodica
  
• More angular wing structure and more durable arm-structure to sustain immense g-forces from hunting.
  
• Extremely sharp beaks and talons, mostly used for hunting
  
• Created just after the Cantata
  

• Inspired by Strigiforme Aves (Owls)
  
• Softer tones in their metals, wide, rounded feathers adapted for silent flight.
  
• Unlike all other Melodica their  vocal tones are dry and almost entirely unmodulated.
  
• Larger ear-antenna and eye-lenses for increased hearing and vision.
  
• Created just after the Sharps
  

• Keep it SFW!!!!
  

• Originated in ????
  
• Created by Loom in [year]
  
• First morph: Weavers
  
• ????
  

• Moderate population across the entire Modician region, most populous in Spindle.
  
• Group families of a collection of different parents and children, usually a group of at least four parents who contribute in some way to the family structure.
  
• Strongly Affiliated with Loom.
  
• Spinnerets in Spindle are the primary worshippers of Loom, outside of the zone their worship is more distributed.
  
• High numbers of Loom worshippers
  
• Moderate numbers of Magnus worshippers
  
• Moderate-low numbers of Saw worshippers
  
• Physical disability usually comes in the form of blight and or infections, as other injuries are easy to repair
  
• Spinnerets buy hydrophobic spray coatings so they don't get soggy
  
• Sleep in large hammocks, either placed outside between two tall structures, or in homes, across two high points.
  
• Highly value clothing and textiles
  
• Tall, homes that are narrower but longer, usually with open spaces near the top for the hammock-beds
  
• While injuries are comparatively easy to cause, as they are no more durable than a tough fabric, they prove a very difficult enemy to take down, due to their unique biology meaning injuries are nowhere near debilitating or threatening for them.
  
• Puppetry is a very common form of entertainment, of all sorts. Boxing and MMA are also very popular sports among Spinnerets
  
• Have a unique form of dry cleaning as they really don't like getting wet. 
  

• Made of various different types of textiles, fabric skins
  
• Different common textile prints, dotted, stripped, checkered, plain, etc. 
  
• Soft noises and rounding of syllables is common for how they talk.
  
• All have eight arms, all have button eyes, and are made of various types of fabric.
  
• Four sets of arms, starting from where arms 'normally' are, along their shoulder blades, ending in single points.
  
• Any hair/fur is short and based on the type of fabric they're made of.
  
• Plantigrade feet that are rounded and flat, with a tougher surface of tighter-woven fabric to walk on
  
• Grow from 1-3' to 7-'10' from childhood to adulthood.
  
• ????
  

• Spinnerets have nerves, skeletons, and musculature, though all of it is made from differently woven types of fabric. Imbued with life. 
  
• Their teeth are more suited to biting / using in the process of weaving fabrics, as they do not eat and metabolize in the same way as other species.
  
• Their diet primarily consists of synthesizing different fibers into nutrients to sustain their bodies, thusly their diets are mostly grain and plant based for Naturals, and plastic based for Syntehtics. They do not eat meats or otherwise as their forms of tasting wouldn't be compatible with that form of food.
  
• They make heavy use of gesturing and physicality in talking, Spinnerets culture integrates a basic form of gesture into language as tone modifiers and other such linguistic tools
  
• Small holes on the sides of their heads
  
• Spinnerets have button eyes sewn onto their faces.
  
• Lifespan of 60 to 80 years, Maturity at 20.
  
• ????
  

• Spinnerets reproduce by weaving a new spinneret into existence. Each parent contributes some of their own internal life imbued threads and weaves a core organ, from which the child grows around overtime. Parents weave cocoons while their children are growing.
  
• Offspring mature in cocoons outside parents, and grow over five or so months, in numbers of one to five at a time.
  
• Kids are normally pretty quiet, creative urges are common among most.
  
• Families consist of a group of parents (in any combination of relationships) of four to eight people, and then children created by various pairings of parents.
  
• Family sizes range in size from ten to thirty people.  (parents + kids)
  
• Relationship structure is highly variant, and mostly person to person.
  
• Children are encouraged to leave their family-pod once they are old enough to take care of themselves and meet people from other family-pods.
  
• ????
  

• Morphs are based on different types of fabrics, can be simply split into Synthetic and Natural fabrics, but can be further split beyond that.
  
• Mixed morphs are very common, Synth-Nat morphs are their own class entirely of Hybrid morphs, but other pairings can wind up having such strong variation that mixed morphs are very common.
  
• The first morphs were the Weavers, a very rare form of Spinerette made directly from Loom's fabric, they have the ability to give life to fabric, like loom does, but to a greatly limited extent.
  
• Hybrids, while rare, typically inherit more internal biology than external biology, and often retain organs that are only relevant to Spinerettes, but pose no issues to other species, some are still able to produce fabric, for instance.
  
• Based on different types of spiders, anthropomorphized. 
  
• Common mutations usually effect fabric production, and eyesight.
  
• ????
