[SCRAP_GAZER]: okay, so...scraps themselves are completely undetectable to most living things.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: only 20% of the population has any actual ability to sense scraps, with 10% being able to just sense (think about people getting "weird feelings" around places like hospitals or graveyards), 5% being able to see them, 3% being able to physically interact with them (touching, carrying, etc), and 2% being able to "manipulate" them- more on that later.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: if you can see them either naturally or via the use of witching equipment, they tend to resemble small orbs composed of their "type". this is kind of like TCP typings in that they're almost always nouns, but different in that abstract concepts are a lot rarer. a /lot/.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: the type of scrap is typically defined by the person who shed it- people have natural affinities based on something called "internal motifs".
[SCRAP_GAZER]: internal motifs are, as you can imagine based on my earlier description of types, typically tangible nouns. they're also /immensely/ personal to the being in question- this is why i suspect meat is in fact your motif/scrap affinity, and thus, the kind of scrap you shed.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: your motifs can be really weird in how they relate to you as a person, and a lot of people have more metaphorical ones than ones literally associated with their lives...think a cloud motif for someone who's prone to let their mind wander, or a water motif for someone who easily gets swept away.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: these motifs can change over time as you change as a person, and often do. it's not uncommon for someone to shed many different kinds of scraps in their life, just because of motif shifting.
[SCRAP_GAZER]: are you following, or do you have any questions so far?
