Pov Doodle compiles all her rambles from discord about the vellumentals into a singular post (it's, evidently, looooonng-)
General
-AIGHT SO. I've been thinking about making human designs for em, but at the same time I already like their animal designs, so I decided to just make them shape shifting gods so I can do whatever I want.
-Then I thought to myself: hmm maybe these guys are deities that don't actually have a solid form and instead are just fucking Energy taking an organic physical form of whatever tf they want bc they're gods.
-Then that led to my big brain thought that: Mario didn't ACTUALLY kill fucking gods, rather he simply destroyed their physical form bc their spirits or whatever are Immortal. So, as thanks for releasing their physical origami asses from Olly, they gave him the Bibliofold before returning back to heaven or whatever as their spirit forms-
-They're just Spirits that can't die so fuck you mario you didn't actually kill them-
-In a way, he kinda SAVED them by putting them down and being forced to live in pain from being folded and fucked up-
-I don't think they're evil OR good, rather, neutral. Their job is to maintain order in the physical world using their elemental abilities. They would never "pick sides" as they just want to keep things in balance and do stuff like. Not end the world-
-They actually don't even WANT to pick sides, they just want everything in balance! In fact, the only time they would even pick a side would be when some serious threat happens that threatens EVERYONE aheem aheem Olly-
-I haven't completely decided on any exact measurements, but they're certainly gonna be titans! As big as they are in game! Although they might be a tad bit smaller than my legion-
-The vellumentals were basically here since the beginning of time and tasked with Creating the world. Idk if there's any other pm lore regarding godly figures but that's gonna be my hc until then. Anyways, when they did this, they Descended from the heavens(?) Wherever them paper gods live up in the clouds, having no form or anything, just being spirit energy shit. They later took a physical form to better fit with the stuff in the paper world, this being those Animals. While they DO have human forms, they rarely use them due to wanting to keep themselves as something. Otherworldly and inhuman. In a majestic, godly kinda way as to show their Dominance over this world and really define themselves to the paper folk.
-Oh yeah. As I mentioned, they RARELY are ever seen as humans, only animal forms bc fuck you that's why. -They were worshiped heavily in the old paper world, however such worshiping has died down due to the technological developments and people just Not caring as much. Also probably because they went into hiding in their respective locations. Why? Nobody knows. Perhaps because they were disgusted by their creations, but who knows... I sure don't
Hmm. I think that everything inorganic (buildings n shit) were made by the paper folk. Hell, I think the vellumentals straight up went to the paper folk and went "We're your gods. We made you this world to live in. Thank us." They're like greek gods. They went and saved everyone and immediately expected payment and gratitude (to which the paperfolk did, of course)-
-They're the physical forms of gods that are stuck with a bunch of ungrateful bastards </3
-Oh yeah! Once they Achieved Their Physical forms, they were stuck on that lil paper world until it was destroyed. A small price to pay in order to see your creations and world grow over the course of thousands of years. Alas, it was not meant to last.
-Their bodies, unlike themselves, are mortal and tethered to the earth although show no signs of age and can shift whenever they want-
-They were Especially Close with one particular toad! King Shroomses, known to be the Only paperfolk to ever adorn the power of the vellumentals! Why? Because they saw potential in him to do almost Godly things to help progess with the world-
-They, of course, have these elemental abilities of unimaginable power, however most of this power is for creation, not fighting. They RARELY fight unless amongst each other but that's a different story-. They simply wanted to create their little paper realm.
-But they are MORE than capable of fighting those pesky little paperfolk when need be (ex someone challenges their Authority or tries fucking everyone up.)
-ALSO. How did they create paperfolk? Who knows...their magic and the environment they created seemed to have done the trick of Creating Life-
-They're like greek gods in a way; aint nobody better than them and anyone who claims to be should be punished-
-Also I feel like if anyone even does ever pray or anything to them, chances are they're not gonna respond, not bc they hate them, but bc they just choose to not interfere with the world as to keep the Flow of it-
-Paperfolk probably only really pray n worship and stuff for the sake of showing Gratitude they get to live another day n all- It's a sense of a "I made you and protect you and make sure you live you should thank me"-
-OH YEAH ALSO. How did Olly manage to fold these seemingly overpowered gods? Well, he took them by surprise and used magic they had never fucking seen before. Origami was never their creation- it was man made therefore they never cared for it. Also they were weakened heavily from being in hiding for so long, never seeing a challenger in ages-
-Anyways, as force folded beings, Olly straight up drained them of their magic and weakened them even MORE. Olly then took that magic (in the form of the bibliofolds, which he just fucking ripped away from them) in order to harness this elemental power, something critical in refolding the world.
-They, of course, were in so much fucking pain and confusion from that, especially by being fucking stapled, which prevented them from unfolding-
-Unlike other beings, who when folded are brainwashed and forced to Olly's whims, these guys were GODS although weakened-, so they just went feral, caring for nobody anymore and just straight up killing anyone in their path on sight. Why? Bc it was basically Survival Mode for them. They never experienced anything so horrifying and unreal like this before. So they did the Animal thing of "It's Kill or Be Killed".
-Oh yeah also! They were just in Pain when Mario and Olivia came along, still seeing them as a threat. (Unrelated but bc their powers were stripped from them and went all berserk, of course the world fell out of balance but that doesn't matter rn-) SO, they were eventually Put Down, releasing their Actual Spirits by removing their bodies, now regaining their og godly strength and giving them the bibliofold n stuff that Olly took from them in order to help them stop Olly before departing back to the heavens to regenerate and recooperate. They'll regain their physical forms later.
-This bibliofold magic, of course, was speshul, Olivia could FEEL their spirits from reading it n stuff meaning they were basically on her side-
Also the reason why my legion are most likely gonna be bigger than my vellumentals is because they're not SUPPOSED to be. As in, my legion is not SUPPOSED to exist- NOBODY is supposed to be bigger than the gods themselves! And having these artificial monsters being absolute behemoths is just something so striking and distrubing...They were never supposed to exist! The world was never MADE for them!
-The Stationery Giants are beings that never even existed until now! They're like an invasive species in this paper world! In fact, they're almost like gods in a way. Almost as if they could challenge the vellumentals themselves with their power and size!
-Hmm. I think that, now individually in terms of dynamics, they're all sorta one big friend group? I mean I can see Ice bein the Big Boss of em-
Ice Vellumental
-Ice is gonna be the Big Boss of the crew and is essential a mob boss, but like. more godlike and majestic. Anyhow, I can see Ice being, coincidentally, all Cold n stoic from everyone else, rather distant and professional n shit
-They, despite being da boss, would rather be alone, finding joy in solitude and curling up in a ball
-They're also quite Strict and To the point. They are also pretty emotionally detached from others
-ALSO, despite being so cold n disconnected, they have a surprisingly high temper, easily angered and frustrated by the others, possibly due to their strict motif or their lack of emotional connection
-But I can imagine they'd be a bit of a sweetheart once you get to know em- Even if they're strict and professional, they really honestly just want what's best for everyone, even if they express it via tough love-
Fire Vellumental
-I see em as being almost the opposite, always jumping around like they're on fire (ha ha very funny.).
-They'd be incredibly energetic and hyper, always wanting to move around and set things ablaze. They also never stop flying. ever.
-They're also much more Playful and Funloving than Ice, particularly enjoying dancing
-I think Fire might be similar to HP in the sense that yes, they know their fire is dangerous n shit, but not the the horrifying extent that it really is. Like they really enjoy playing around with people by lighting shit on fire-
-Hmm I also feel like Fire would be kinda outgoing? Like they feel like someone who's really confident and has this sorta flare, y'know?
Water Vellumental
-Hmm for Water, I'd say they're pretty fucking Chill- Like, not like Ice is in the sense their cold, but like, they're very calm and relaxed. Going with the flow if you will- I imagine they're more on the quite side and tend to just follow along with the others
-Also they'd have an unbelievably high level of tolorance for others being annoying, actively trying to Understand em-
-They're like that chill ass mom friend who just follows along the gang no matter how stupid they are-
Earth Vellumental
-They'd be much more stubborn in a way, not necessarily selfish or anything, but more so someone who has REALLY strong opinions and self advocates a lot-
-They would act as the voice of reason for the gang in a way, often being the one to cast judgement and do the talking I feel like they'd be kinda nice too? Not like, super passive, but still nice in a visible way-
-Also you could say they're very. Down to Earth and grounded in reality, unlike the others at times-
-They're realistic and reasonable. Also a bit bossy at times, when trying to get their point across, but still-
-Essentially boiled down to:
Earth: Down to earth
Water: Goes with the flow
Fire: Fucking moving around like their fire
Ice: Cool n collected.
And uhh, that's all! Thank you for reading if you did, I appreciate it!
