 +===Distribution===
 OBJs are still largely concentrated to the Luxson Cluster and have yet to distribute beyond the island cluster in large numbers. The few OBJ that exist outside of the island cluster are either similarly mutated corvice or the few that have emigrated out of Luxson. OBJs are still largely concentrated to the Luxson Cluster and have yet to distribute beyond the island cluster in large numbers.

 +===Head Casings===
 OBJ heads are loose slime which more often than not requires specialty designed head casings to contain and protect the delicate slime. The head casing is a central theme of OBJ fashion, accessibility, and culture. With it being such a distinctive and unique feature of the OBJ, it's become an exceedingly important aspect of the species lives. OBJ will traditionally have custom cases manufactured but there are standard and mass-produced cases that are available to those who are less financially stable. OBJ living outside of the Cluster often must import cases from the islands, as the cases take specific manufacturing to function properly. Head casings often reflect both status and personal taste, with its quality showing how much money an OBJ, or their family, is willing to invest. OBJ heads are loose slime which more often than not requires specialty designed head casings to contain and protect the delicate slime.

 +===Corvice Tradition===
 Older OBJ are split on their opinions of corvice traditions. Some reject them and consider their new existence as OBJ as a sort of apotheosis while others strictly adhere to the sometimes obsolete culture. Conversely, young OBJ lack the perspective on what it meant to be a corvice and what culture there was and instead have largely adopted the eastern Luxson culture and aesthetics, especially due to their close living with beatfoxes. Older OBJ are split on their opinions of corvice traditions.

 OBJ are more social due to this drift from traditional corvice reservations, and large social gatherings and community events are common and encouraged. OBJ are more social due to this drift from traditional corvice reservations, and large social gatherings and community events are common and encouraged.
  
 +===Religion===
 OBJ have largely adopted the religious relationship that the beatfoxes have with their god, XXI, and, while a vocal minority still sticks to the late Anne's teachings, the worship of Anne has largely been abandoned by modern OBJ. There are some that worship Fallow and a small minority that worship Stope. Worship beyond the island cluster is regional. OBJ have largely adopted the religious relationship that the beatfoxes have with their god, XXI, and, while a vocal minority still sticks to the late Anne's teachings, the worship of Anne has largely been abandoned by modern OBJ.

-The act of mutation was a devastating affair, many died in the process of becoming OBJ and there have since been procedures developed to prevent these kinds of catastrophic events in the future. These procedures are largely specialized and often require a visit to a Luxson cluster clinic, as the teachings have yet to be spread to morbit at large.+===Health/Medicine===

 +===Art===
 OBJ products and art take inspiration from both east and west Luxson aesthetics, especially in a sense of reclaiming the visual elements from east Luxson and adapting them into the new era. OBJ products and art take inspiration from both east and west Luxson aesthetics, especially in a sense of reclaiming the visual elements from east Luxson and adapting them into the new era.
  
 +===Physical Goods===
 OBJ, like corvice, tend to prefer nest-like or enclosed sleeping arrangements. Hammocks, blanket forts, canopy beds, and enclosed bunks all work well. Bedding material is highly valued, and many OBJ enjoy gathering/collecting it. OBJ also enjoy collecting in general, getting great satisfaction from amassing a choice pile of clutter.  OBJ, like corvice, tend to prefer nest-like or enclosed sleeping arrangements.

 +===Jobs/Occupations===
 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. 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 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.

 +===Combat===
 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. 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.

 The aquatic OBJ morph came from the corvice morph of the same name. This OBJ morph is amphibious with very strong skin. Their arms are fins and flippers and their diets are usually rich in sugar. They are associated with the seas of the Luxson Cluster. The aquatic OBJ morph came from the corvice morph of the same name. This OBJ morph is amphibious with very strong skin.
