This article contains brief + simple mentions of reproduction, but is SFW.

Flexins are an inflated, balloon species.

Origin

Flexins originate from a currently unknown location where they were created by a currently unknown god.

Culture

Flexins are not as prone to illnesses as other species, though some do heal slower than others, and require longer-term patch jobs. These patches can be as simple as duct tape, but many obtain reusable fashion accessories that hold wounds together until they heal, and clean them up for use later.

Flexins enjoy soft beds, and as a general rule, avoid pointy objects and surfaces.

Flexins do not generally require education unless summoned by preteens/teenagers due to their absorption of knowledge, and the summoning ritual required to spawn them is too complicated for young children to grasp. Those who need it however often seek out less formal education due to their species being a fairly recent addition to Morbit.

Flexins are highly adaptable when it comes to housing, so long as their environments are kept safe.

Flexins are not ideal for combat in any way, shape, or form, and ideally, choose to flee.

Appearance

Flexins are a balloon animal species, and are typically shaped like a “balloon dog”.

Flexins have little to no natural markings, and any natural markings are usually simple stripes or polka dots.

Their voices are squeaks.

They usually have balloon tails.

Flexins do not have hair.

Flexins range from 3’0-5’0 at a“normal” adult height.

Flexins have digitigrade legs and standard arms

Biology

Flexins are composed of deceptively flexible and strong balloon-like material, which is extremely resistant to puncturing or damage.

Their internal composition depends on their morph, but most have some degree of gel, fluid, or slime filling.

Flexins typically emote through some sort of internal structure, such as a skull, or drawn on, which animates via unknown means.

Flexins do not consume matter through any known means and seem to subsist off of social interaction alone, much to some individuals’ annoyance.

Their energy levels depend on the energy of the people around them, with parties and high energy social gatherings leading to manic states.

Flexins have balloon ears.

Punctures require quick patches lest the punctured flexin potentially bleeds out, many flexin carry quick patches or material that can act as such, due to this risk.

Flexins are capable of holding things against their hands and manipulating them as if they had fingers, though no one is sure how.

Life Cycle/Family Structure

Spawned through specific, consciously done rituals conducted at social gatherings, typically large parties. Spawning a flexin must be done under specific conditions, and the resulting flexin will take on both the theme of the party as their morph and an approximation of the cumulative knowledge of the partygoers. Knowledge itself will be muddled, faces and names will be forgotten and not easy to hold onto, but it’s typically enough for a flexin to enter society upon forming.

A flexin’s age is something they can tell you inherently and is typically the average of all of the ages of the ritual that spawned them’s participants. They live to be 80 years old and hit maturity at age 18-20.

Flexins will often try to fit into the lives of the people they spawned around, with friendly ones making friends at the party they arrived at and ideally making enough connections to secure short term housing.

Genetics

Flexin morphs are inspired by different party/celebration themes.

Mixed morph flexins exist in the sense that mixed-theme parties can exist, but not through reproduction.

Flexin hybrids do not exist, as they do not reproduce.

Common horror mutations the flexins experience when exposed to horror radiation include; a size increase, energy increase, restlessness, membrane thickening/thinning, internal toxicity, and organic matter development, such as meat, bones, slime, eyes, etc.

Morphs

Anatomy Model

The anatomy model morph is inspired by spooky and horror-themed parties. They contain a, wildly inaccurate, model skeleton inside their body. They have round eyes with round pupils and jagged teeth. Sometimes they will have cartoony spooky or scary features, like bat wings or horns.
