| TCPs don't like to be alone. They seek out fellow TCPs, an easier feat than it sounds. While TCPs can spawn globally, the sheer magnitude of TCPs spawning at any given day means that a friend can usually be found within a few hours' walk- and much less if they end up in a more urban area. Making friends with other TCPs is much easier for them than any other species, but many do seek out the companionship of far larger people. | TCPs don't like to be alone.

| Once a few TCPs have met up, they have tendencies to form colonies- settlements of TCPs anywhere from a small, tight knit group, to sprawling miniature cities. Large enough colonies are often registered as protected to prevent bigger folks from trampling or endangering them, and many urban areas have premade structures for colonies and groups to settle into with ease. Leaders in colonies can occur, but they' | Once a few TCPs have met up, they have tendencies to form colonies- settlements of TCPs anywhere from a small, tight knit group, to sprawling miniature cities.

| TCP logic does not work the same as other sapient species- they run off of inherent knowledge of concepts. A morbitian TCP can look at rain, recognize it as rain, and recognize that when the rain touches them, it feels wet. They may know that being in the rain for too long can be dangerous, and know to seek shelter- but what if they don't know what would be a good shelter? For a TCP to fully understand a concept, they have to experience it directly; but doing so will give them plenty of information to make decisions on. Freshly spawned TCPs tend to bumble around until they have enough knowledge to go off of, and just because they know how to walk from the start doesn' | TCP logic does not work the same as other sapient species- they run off of inherent knowledge of concepts.

| As mentioned before with walking, TCP skills are simply knowledge of what the skill is, and how to do it- doing it correctly takes time and effort. TCPs may not have muscles, but getting practice is necessary for a TCP to become proficient in a skill. The only exceptions to this are speech and reading. These are often learned quickly, as simply hearing a language is enough to pass it on. Those out in the wild are less fortunate, but thankfully for TCPs, body language and expression tends to be easy to convey and understand. | As mentioned before with walking, TCP skills are simply knowledge of what the skill is, and how to do it- doing it correctly takes time and effort.
