#the teeth and claws are often the same color as the eye whites of that given cat!

What are those claws on Bone's paws? Bird toes? How are they sticking to him?
Yep! In the original books, BloodClan claws are "reinforced with dog's teeth", and that bugged me because dog teeth are dull and made for crushing and wouldn't work best with infamously sharp cat claws. It took me about three years, but I finally landed on the idea that BloodClan uses hot tar to glue the talons and first few digits of birds of prey to their paws. Only Scorch, Bone, and Brick have a full set. Their best warriors can eventually earn a talon for their thumbs, reinforcing their dewclaws alone.
For a while, I painted the tar on the paws, but it kinda muddied up the design, so my thought is they only use a very small amount that won't show. It would also be better for their health, as burning hot tar isn't the safest "glue" to work with.

Can you do a post about nonhuman au floyb?? I love that little fucker
Ah yes, Floyd. The not so little, little fucker.
He still has his ear and arm fins even with the potion. He can make his ear fins wiggle and droop and they will sometimes do it unconsciously, perhaps because of how he’s feeling or or he’s eating or sucking on something. After the time he caught you laughing when he was sucking down a smoothie, he will wiggle them on purpose to make you laugh. 
He can make the arm fins flare out and go down so he can get shirts on easier but doesn't like covering them.
Still keeps some of his eel coloring and stripes along with his claws. His hands starting with that not-quite-white he has and becoming more of that green-blue going up.
His fingers have little bits of webbing and...are kind of creepily long. 
Doesn’t blink as often as a human should and his eyes glow in the dark, along with his habit of staring it can be a bit startling. 
Is very instant on getting you in the water with him for some reason. If you can swim, he'll offer to let you ride him but...keep in mind that when in the water either tween can out speed a flying broom. The guy is a living jet ski and you will zoom. Although he won't let you drown that doesn't mean he won't do stuff to scare you and make you think he is.
If you go out to the sea or a lake together expect him to bring back a fuckton of sea creatures that he expects you to eat. He's a very good hunter and plans on taking good care of his shrimp.
Has no belly button or nips.
Is very interested in your belly button.
You're his little shrimpy and he’s touchy when in the mood for it but especially likes how different you are. Small clawless hands are so fun to hold, likes comparing yours to his. Putting your hands on his face cuz it feels warm and nice, enjoy the ear-fin rubs. Body soft n smol, good for hugging and squeezing…and biting…but not too hard cuz his teeth would hit bone very easily. 
Skin feels different from what humans have but isn't quite the same as when in his eel form. It's soft but also…thick. There’s no way you would be able to break his skin with your bite or scratches, dull little human nails and teeth can't do much. He’ll think it's funny if you do it to try and get away from him but will want to bite back.
It is actually a good thing you can't break the skin since along with eating fish, crabs, and octopuses moray also eat very toxic creatures and as a result, the blood and flesh of a moray are very toxic. They accumulate high levels of ciguatoxins, which can give humans ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) if eaten. There will be times in a fight where he’ll get his blood on the guy on purpose and Jade has used his blood for…things before. Part of why Jade wants to test “special” mushrooms on others is because the poison won't affect him.
A moray will often eat anything small enough to fit in its mouth and is capable of taking a chunk out of bigger fish. As a result, Floyd will also try to eat…not food things if he can fit it in his mouth. Keep an eye on small nicknacks. Might also just, like, catch a bird and just freaking eat it. He’s learned butterflies taste really bad.
Everything about you just triggers his prey drive. He really wants to bite you…and chase you…and squeeze you…but also protect you cuz you're his little shrimp. Who would rub his face and tell him a good boy if he let you get eaten up? 
Can open his mouth scarily wide and his teeth are longer than OG Floyd's. Very long tongue and will lick the side of your face to gross you out. 
Has pharyngeal jaws which are a second set of smaller jaws located in the throat of the moray eel, behind the normal jaws in the mouth, complete with tiny teeth. This set of jaws gets launched into the mouth cavity during feeding, where it can grasp onto food, and pull it into the throat to swallow. Morays are unique in using their pharyngeal jaws to actively capture and restrain prey in this way.
Certain eels have been shown to be surprisingly affectionet with divers they recognize and enjoy petting, rubbing, and gentle hugs. Though with how Floyd is it's a little less surprising.
youtube
His gills are still present so his rib area is a weak spot. Getting hit there would really hurt and really piss him off.
Is nocturnal and prefers dark places, especially when sleeping. He also likes being snug and wrapped up for sleepies. In the sea, he would like to sleep in small places with his brother.
Tumblr media
Moray have a spongy, sluggy texture from their lack of scales. To top it off, these fish are covered in a thick mucous layer. Believe it or not, mucous serves a very strong purpose in nature, typically providing a protective barrier over otherwise vulnerable layers of skin. Your stomach should have a thick mucous layer to protect it from the acids inside, and similarly, a fish without scales can make good use of this snotty, slimy substance to keep it safe from toxins and physical damage as it occupies its rocky habitat.
The green moray eel is actually brown under all the snot; it’s just covered in a thick green layer of mucous. In some species, this mucous is even toxic, making them a particularly nasty prey item. Luckily what Floyd and Jade have isn't the toxic kind and will make your skin pretty nice. Floyd will use this in his favor to get more cuddles. Though if feeling playful he may perform what is known as a slime attack by slapping someone in the face with his tail, it is very unpleasant to get in your mouth.
The smallest moray, the Snyder’s moray, is around 12cm (4.5in) long, and the largest is more than 3m (over 10ft) long and weighs up to 30kg. A huge moray eel in Indonesia has been witnessed feeding on sharks and I like to headcanon the tweels are pretty big in their mer form and not just because of tail length.
Morays actually have pretty bad eyesight and have a keen sense of smell to make up for this and rely primarily on chemoreception such as smells and tastes to navigate their world. I do wonder if the twins need glasses but don't use them or maybe wear contacts. 
 Floyd is very good at tracking you down by scent and likes it when you smell like him and him smelling like you. Though he loves cuddling and hugging you, it isn't just for affection. He’s giving you that eel stank, plenty of the others are weary around him and you smelling like him can help keep others away.
Him leaving clothes at your place honestly was out of forgetfulness but does it on purpose now since that time he caught you wearing his jersey…it was so big on you and you looked so cute and its smelled like you and….
The moray can form a true knot with its body, that it uses as leverage to pull on prey items like slippery fish. They can also use this method to create strong pressure to break food items into smaller pieces. It’s thought that the skill is passed on between individuals. So if you want to escape eel cuddles…good luck but it's probably not going to happen. Even in his more human form his long arms and legs will be wrapped around you. Kinda funny thinking of the tweel's parents teaching them how to become living knots though.
youtube
Certain types of eels can change their sex. The leaf-nosed moray born male, transitions as they age, switching to female later in life. This transformation determines them as “sequential hermaphrodites” I like to headcanon that the tweens can also change sex or already have both in their mer form. 
Morays can have around 10,000 eggs at a time, and when the larvae are hatched, the eels are fully translucent. I like to think the boys started out as tiny little things you can hold in your hand.
Regular eels do seem to have some courtship rituals. Some of which being displays of behavior, such as graceful movements and vibrant color changes and I already like that headcanon of the tweels being bioluminescent. Maybe he convinced you to come down to his dorm's special pool one night and decided to show off for you. Showing off that beautiful glow while doing these cool tricks in the water. A positive reaction will likely be taken as acceptance, so unless you tell him no, you will receive some wet slimy eel-loving.
Male eels may compete with each other for the attention of females showcasing strength and health to impress a potential mate. I can imagine he’ll be very insistent that you come to his games and watch, though with how he already is and him wanting to impress you further it would be a good idea for a nurse to be present. The other team's guys are going to need it. I think he might also get a bit more…bitey with the other guys around too. You will also be picked up and carried more often. 
Eels also release pheromones into the water to attract and communicate with potential partners but..hmm you're just a human and on land. With the others being beasts and all they would be able to smell it easily and know to stay the hell away from him but would his little shrimpy notice? I think at most that if it's something that you can smell it probably just seems like Floyd has just smelled a bit…musky lately. He is probably around you even more and keeps close to see you reaction to it. He probably gets sad if you tell him he stinky and takes it as you not wanting him. If you compliment it? Very happy eel time.
As for the rest of what he does, it's pretty much normal things that Floyd already did when you were just friends. Bringing you food, little trinkets that made him think of you, getting territorial around others, biting.

WOOHOO!! It’s all done!! A race guide for my Yogscraft fanlore stuff!!
ALT Text/Transcription Below Cut;
FIRST SLIDE:
This slide shows examples of different features for each of my headcanons for different races within my Yogscast and Minecraft fan-lore. There are six primary races; Human, Lumian, Villager, Fae (subcategories being Seelie and Unseelie), Angel, and Demon. The features shown are; Eyes, Ears, Noses, Mouth and Teeth, and Hands.
Humans are what we’re familiar with, and serve as a comparison so we can know what is typical for humans in my art style.
A quick note for Lumians; the example blood color is green, but there are different colors - more information is on Slide Three. Lumians have smaller pupils than humans by about half our pupil sizes. They have pointed ears, and when flushed, their blood color shows through much like human ears do. Their tongues are closer to their blood color, and front teeth are smaller and pointed. Most of their teeth are pointed like Human canines, except for their canines, which are thinner, like a blade. Their hands are slightly larger and they sport clawlike nails.
Villagers have square or slightly rectangular eyes. Their ears are more concave, like a cow’s or a mouse’s ears, and can have a dark blue fur or blush on the outer part of the flaps. Their noses are similar to a dog’s or koala’s nose, and a navy teal color. Their teeth are larger and entirely stubby with no canines, and they have dark blue mouths with lighter navy tongues. Their hands have dark blue, stubby, round nails, with a couple big, hardened, dark blue pads on the backs of their hands in round, bean-like shapes. They also have these pads on each of their second knuckles.
The Fae are split into two categories; Seelie and Unseelie. - First listed are Seelie. Seelie have an outer iris ring extending their irises to a larger size, with pointed, catlike pupils. Their longer pointed ears concave on each side toward the base, similar to a bat’s or cat’s ears. They can have any shape of nose, depending on how humanoid they are, with humanoid noses being indistinguishable from ours. Their mouths are a more saturated shade of pink, and they sport two canines, replacing the secondary front, top row teeth. Their hands are a wide variety, but if humanoid, they typically have longer fingers. - Second, we have Unseelie. Unseelie Fae eyes are larger, and only have one color, with colored catlike pupils. Their ears are similar to Seelie, but are typically larger at the base and point more upward, instead of outward. Their noses are the same as Seelie’s noses. Their mouths are usually a duller, darker shade of purple or pink, and their primary fangs are double the size or length as a Seelie’s fangs. Their hands are similar to Seelie’s, but their fingers are more often clawed.
Angel’s skin shimmers with sunny luster. Angel eyes have very large, glowing, white-to-yellow irises, with colored pupils. Their ears can be round or pointed, but have feathers of any color lining the outermost edges. Their noses are similar to ours, but usually have slotted and/or outwardly pointed nostrils, and the noses can be very flat to the face, even nonexistent. Their mouths are golden with sunshine-colored tongues and perfect rows of completely straight, rounded teeth. Their fingers are all the same length and have totally opaque nails.
Demon’s skin burns bright or saturated shades of red. Demon eyes are completely black, with very small glowing irises and no pupils. Their ears are pointed and lined with small, sharp hornlike growths. Their noses can be nearly any shape with a flat face, similar to moles, pigs, bats, or even a lizard’s. Their mouths are double the size, can unhinge and mold to different shapes, and have very large, sharp teeth all throughout. The inner color of their mouths are deep red to oily black, and their snake tongues are bright red. Their hands are very large, with very long fingers and very sharp, dark claws.
SECOND SLIDE;
This slide is titled “Notes on Humans”. The text is as follows;
Humans may exhibit signs of deific influence after an extended period of time, depending on whose realm they reside under - such as; -faint glowing, dependent on deity's colors -impulses and urges related to deity's influence -affinity for items, places, concepts, and ideas related to deity's influence
The vibes are contagious! Humans have a passive minor influence over the feeling, thinking, and experiences of other creatures and races due to their natural pack bond mentality.
THIRD SLIDE;
This slide is titled “Notes on Lumians”. The text is as follows;
What Lumians lack in creativity, they make up for in leadership prowess, tactical approach, and clinical or scientific understanding. Their society is raised supporting only academic and physical studies with no care put into the arts. As a result, although very bright and quick-witted, Lumians are notoriously high-strung, prone to trauma, and bleak or dry-humored.
Lumian blood color ranges ass wide as the visible spectrum! Green is the most common. Blood color matters as much as a horoscope. Which is to say, not a lot.
Lumina, the Lumian home planet, is home to massive insects. (Lumian) teeth are built to chew the bugs' super tough meat.
Lumians are also all born with glowing freckles and eyes. Freckle patterns vary from light to heavy, and are most commonly on the face and back. Places where freckles are found to be the most are also a folkish indicator of personality and fortune telling.
FOURTH SLIDE;
This slide is titled “Notes on Villagers”. The text is as follows;
Villagers initially evolved from a world of violence and chaos, descended from a species of mammal unseen in anywhere else in the universe. This ancestor, a bovine-apelike hybrid, survived drought, famine, war, disaster, and sickness. They grew horns, cloven claws, bladelike teeth, and thick backs.
Since Kirin's awakening, however, they were blessed and all their troubles washed away. So, over time, the complacent Villagers of today have evolved away from the features of their ancestors, with small, nubby horns, rounder teeth, and softer bodies.
It's said that their religious affiliation (to Kirin) and communal practices discouraging change is what has contributed to their "domestication", as some put it. However, in recent years, it seems that has begun to change in certain rebellious individuals.
FIFTH SLIDE;
This slide is titled “Notes on Fae”. The text is as follows;
The Fae are intelligent, social creatures and humanoids of various differring races, having evolved under their creator, the deity of the mind and soul.
It's due to the crowning of Queen Nyxamenia after her Revolt against said creator, that the Fae split into two factions; Seelie (those of Rule) and Unseelie (those of Anarchy). Upon the Unseelie revering her as their Goddess, they began to take on new forms, evolving into "cursed" or "trickster" versions of Seelie Fae.
Seelie Fae rely on contracts, mutually agreed rules, tried and true methods, tradition, laws of the land, fairness, and strict moral code.
Unseelie Fae rely on "playing by ear", improvisation, "street rules", dirty games and trickery, blood oaths, high wit, intense emotion, and mind games.
SIXTH SLIDE;
This slide is titled “Notes on Angels”. The text is as follows;
Angels were a species initially forged without Kirin, the deity of Heart and Emotion, as theoretically immortal helper-workers around Limbo (the Sun, and where souls pass through when they die).
(wings are transparent)
As intelligent and magical creatures, they cannot survive outside of The Aether (the paradise within Limbo) for longer than a few years to a decade.
However, since the banishment of Lucifer and The Virtues, many Angels have self-exiled and escaped the safety of The Aether to other places, knowing they will someday perish with no hope for reincarnation, simply hoping to live the rest of their days in peace.
(Angels can also survive outer space!)
They are capable of few "miracles" (1-3 typically), great healing magic (physical bodies only), speaking to and seeing spectres, and generate intense or calming auras. They're also capable of flight!
SEVENTH SLIDE;
This slide is titled “Notes on Demons”. The text is as follows;
Demons were created with very little in the way of physical bodies to cling to, with their lifeforce instead clinging to magic, items, ashen waste, insects, and fire or lava. Power usually correlates to a Demon's age.
A weak Demon will be an invisible force, possessing others in lieu of having a physical body - whereas a powerful Demon will be able to generate a physical form through ability alone. Demons can gain power over time by making Blood Oaths with mortals, or possession leading to the mortal's demise.
Much like Angels, Demons can't reside outside of The Nether for very long. It's very, very rare for Demons and Angels to meet in person.
Demons often choose very dense, sharp bodies with horns, pointed teeth, spiked tails, and bladed claws, to evoke a predator-prey reaction in mortals, and to show off their power to other Demons.
EIGHTH SLIDE;
Anything can breed with Anything. Hybrids can happen, and have happened. Though, they are pretty rare.
A Human-Demon hybrid is referred to as a "Wraith", and are seen as bad omens.
Hybrid Angels are very rarely able to perform one miracle, and are seen as good luck.
Hybridized Lineages of Humans and Villagers exist across Craftia in small tribes, and (their groups) often go by different names, usually a family name. They're fairly new to the scene.
Fae Hybrids are the most common type, sometimes resulting in an entirely new (sub)race of Fae.
Some Unseelie, like the Vampire and Werewolf, have the ability to "infect" or "turn" other mortals, effectively changing (metamorphosizing) their species into one of them.
The Trueblood are Fae who have been born as the species which infects.
The Afflicted are (other) mortals who have been "turned" directly by a Fae.
The Kindred and Kindred lineages are descendants of an Afflicted.
Miracles for Angels and Hybrids are "per person", and do not regenerate (after use). Angels know their miracle limit - however, hybrids do not.
Angels and Demons can shift their forms, but not totally shapeshift, unless they're incredible powerful.
Ravagers and Villagers/Illagers share a common ancestor.
Villager teeth are bigger and thicker than a Human's, so their verbal communication isn't quite the same. They prefer to speak less, and dislike that Humans talk "too much". Some Villagers can (learn to) speak Human languages, however.
The Human ability to generate a "mob mentality" among other species usually works out in their benefit, except on Craftia, where most things can become hostile toward them. It seems their influences have an opposing effect on certain species and in certain locations. Why this is, no one knows.

monster cod (dullahans version) ft. 141, kate laswell, alex keller, farah karim, alejandro vargas, rodolfo parra, philip graves
John "Bravo 0-6" Price
where many people mistake mactavish as a werewolf, it's actually price. he has excellent control of his wolf, and is capable of shifting at will rather than relying on the moon cycle.
all of his senses are heightened and his strength far surpasses a regular human. anyone who tries to call him "alpha" gets a growl and eye roll - he find's it annoying and only the rest of the 141 (& kate) can get away with the joke.
is capable of masking his identity of a werewolf, except his eyes will sometimes flash a circle of amber around the pupil - a sign his instincts have been triggered and his wolf is present.
his teeth are incredibly sharp, even in human form. he's not a fan of dentists nor are they a fan of him.
his wolf form more closely resembles a grizzly than an actual wolf - and he definitely uses this as an intimidation factor.
Simon "Ghost" Riley
was actually human, once upon a time. it was a mission gone wrong, a desperate deal made and soul taken away. his body was transformed into a hellhound - think of the ones from chronicles of riddick.
he actually prefers his new hellhound form to his human one! will only be human when absolutely necessary - otherwise you can often spot him prowling around in the shadows, dew claws clicking as he stalks and observes.
his neutral scale color is a faded, smokey gray. when he is content, his scales flush to a lighter, not-quite-white. it's when he's hunting that his scales take on that signature black color - though his face still retains the skull markings similar to the mask he wears as a human.
capable of canid vocalizations in either form, and capable of human speech - he just prefers remaining silent. he also rattles his scales to announce his presence around those he respects or considers pack. everyone else get's a jumpscare when they turn around and there he suddenly is.
will only tolerate pets (read: hard shoulder smacks) from johnny or price. kyle tries, but he doesn't pat hard enough for simon to register through the scales. the effort is appreciated, though.
Kyle "Gaz" Garrick
a seraphim - or the closest anyone will get to one. four sets of wings, all made of a metal not found on earth. he prefers folding them tightly to his back to avoid accidentally slicing someone.
please don't talk christianity or catholicism with him - he will bolt. he has no issue with religion or anyone being open about it, he just (quite frankly) get's tired of answering the same questions repeatedly.
actually grooms his feathers regularly! though made of metal, they can be very pliant and soft when his body feels like it isn't under active threat. nobody is allowed to sit within his wingspan on horror movie nights unless it's simon, whose scales can't be sliced by the feathers.
if you ask him why he left the clouds - his answer is always the same. his sense of justice was too strong - he wanted to make a change in the world, and he wouldn't wait to do it.
does not have an eternal lifespan and can be killed, but it's incredibly hard to do so. he still hates helicopters and thinks they're pointless (salty that he fell out of one twice).
John "Soap" Mactavish
a kelpie! actually a hybrid between two different species of faer, kelpie is the easiest to identify with. unlike the typical three forms, john only has two: human and horse.
his horse form is a large dark bay, almost impossible to identify it's breed at first glance. the most you'll ever see are those blue eyes and his suspiciously sharp teeth before he pulls you beneath the murky waters.
has a very strong affinity for water, and despite his love for demolitions he will take any chance possible to be submerged. not as big of a fan of salt water than he is fresh or brackish, but he'll take whatever he can get (except chlorine. that is hell and he hates it).
doesn't use his horse form on base - it has a subtle air of influence that tends to draw people in. after a few unfortunate incidences, it's more of an unspoken rule that he can only shift on leave or on field but never on base.
kyle is the only one who has ever been able to sit on his back and his skin not trap him - something about the heavenly blessings? john was a little too stunned to truly pay attention
Kate "Watcher" Laswell
a proper dragon - half of her heart, soul, and lifespan split with her wife. golden scales that grow in patches (like alex, found below) - more like snake skin than harder scales like a crocodiles.
her pupils are slit and while she does have horns, she keeps them short at her wifes request (hard to bonk foreheads comfortably if they get in the way xoxo). her tail isn't super long but that makes it easier for her to keep close and out of the way.
both wings are in tact and she is Not a fan of anyone touching them outside of her wife (and maybe kyle, since she see's him as a good friend and he knows the struggle of cleaning wings).
can absolutely breathe fire, and will do so as a warning.
Alex "Echo 3-1" Keller
a snake hybrid of some sort, specifically a king cobra. patches of scales, fangs that are capable of tucking into his gums, spectacled eyes. he can see in infrared and often finds it annoying when in cold enviornments.
has a forked tongue and absolutely uses it to mess with people. his tattoos and preference for long sleeves actually mask his scales pretty well, so it's easy to mistake him for a human at first glance. he's been known to trick people in the past by randomly flicking his tongue or even unhinging his jaw.
yes, he knows hes larger than a mongoose. yes, they still unsettle him. claims it's natural instinct (he thinks they just look... really weird). hisses as a defense when startled or annoyed, no he will not acknowledge it.
big on seeking others out and sticking close for body heat. farah, price, and kyle are his favorites because of their higher body temps.
has never elaborated on what exactly he is - will give a different answer every time you ask.
Farah Karim
suggested by my beloved noji @blighted-lights, farah would be a harpy or otherwise bird adjacent! i personally see her as some sort of falcon - small and mighty and underestimating her is your very last mistake.
she doesn't bond easily but when she does? she will do absolutely anything for you. she especially loves when you help her preen, it's something she only allows when she feels utterly safe with you.
chirps and coo's when she feels particularly emotional (positive).
she has one of alex's scales and he has one of her feathers. it's a sign of their deep devotion to each other. regardless of romantic or platonic, they are incredibly important to each other and an equal exchange of something so important cannot be ignored.
if you manage to be farah's favorite person? it would melt her heart if you fashioned her feathers into jewelry and even made matching pieces.
Alejandro Vargas
hear me out, but i think he would be a cadejo! a dog shaped creature whose eyes change color depending on it's mood - often seen as either protectors and bringers of good will or the incarnation of the devil.
he stands around the height of a cow, and though his fur is black - alejandro is only a protector of his community. rodolfo often jokingly teases him that he smells like a goat so he very much invests in colognes.
though he doesn't have any visible chains, the sound of them dragging behind him can be heard on especially quiet nights. alongside the sound of his hooves - these are the sounds of safety to the people of las almas.
very much prefers his human form and can mask himself incredibly well.
the most you'll ever see that tells against him being human are his sharp teeth and the subtle color shift in his eyes.
Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra
another shifter, like price! his canid form is actually a Xoloitzcuintli. not a lot of hair and more on the 'traditional' side of hairless. his skin in this form is as dark as his hair as a human, which allows him to blend into shadows better.
much like price, all of his senses are heightened, though he has to be more careful due to little to no fur protecting his skin in altercations (plenty of small scars from chasing after suspects and not being super careful in avoiding obstacles)
yes, he can stand as a traditional werewolf. no, he doesn't do it often - it scares the shit out of ajelandro and while it can be funny, he'd really rather not deal with it.
has exceptional control over his shifting and honestly doesn't have a preference over what form he uses most - just whatevers convenient at the time.
has absolutely pretended to be a regular dog for the sake of an op - has since learned he's a bigger fan of belly rubs than previously thought.
Philip Graves
somewhere between undead and genuine zombie. no he doesn't know how it happened, no he doesn't want to figure it out. no he doesn't want your brains, yes he will bite if you keep bothering him.
constantly smells like rot and sulfur, and his eyes are always just a bit cloudy. his body doesn't fall apart nor does he suffer from rigor mortis, but the cold does not mesh well with him.
incapable of permanently dying - yes he can be put down, but bury him shallow; he Will come back.
please don't call him a zombie, it'll just aggravate him and that's not a fight you want to pick. shadow company is protective of him and vice versa.
has complete cognotive functions alongside physical functions - can very easily pass as a regular person if you look past the more... obvious signs pointing otherwise.

After slowly writing this out through the week, I'm done with the second chapter! What I'm learning from writing this is to find a balance between writing out Zorua's POV while progressing the vague plot I have in mind. I want to write out all the ideas I have but I also don't want to drag stuff out for too long you know?
Anyways, I hope this is an enjoyable chapter! This AU is inspired from ideas shared by @ducydoo2000!
Series: Pokemon
Characters: Drayton (Hisuian Zorua)
[Read previous chapter]
Chapter 2
--
Awareness slowly trickled back in as it roused from a deep, dreamless sleep. It wanted nothing more than to burrow back into that peaceful darkness but its body had other plans. No matter how much it tried to ignore, it became painfully aware of all the aches and pains plaguing it.
A soft whine slipped out of its slightly parted mouth. With eyes still shut, it slowly turned on its side. It stretched out its front paws first, then the back legs. A surprised yelp erupted from the sudden ripple of pain. While dulled, it was present enough that it immediately went into alert, eyes snapping open. 
It didn’t know where it was.
This was not the icy landscape that it knew all its life. This wasn’t even the rocky, damp cavity of its den. While it was in an enclosed space, the smooth grey-white barriers were foreign to it. Various objects were scattered all around this strangely bright cave, nothing recognizable sans vague understandings of its origins.
It seemed to be laying on something soft and plush; akin to that of its littermates huddling together and it got to be the one laying partially on top. It experienced a fleeting sense of awe when a cautious press against the plushness left no imprint. It went right back to being smooth and soft.
The brown colored objects reminded it of wooden boxes the elder Zoroark brought back from time to time. They were often filled with food to share with the pack, and it was always a special occasion as they’d feast like kings on various berries rarely found within the frozen terrain. 
It also spotted various differently colored cloths draped over the boxes, on the floor, even hung on the walls. Those were vastly superior to the tattered, dulled ones often used to pad out the sleeping nest. Like the boxes, the cloths were typically brought back by elder Zoroark that returned back from…
Its ears flickered to the odd noise coming from the wall. One section had the same brownish shade of the boxes, and its eyes widened in surprise when it suddenly swung open.
“Oh, it seems like you’re awake.”
At the sight of the tall, shadowed figure of a human, memories instantly rushed back with such intensity that it made its head hurt.

The singular step towards its direction prompted it to jump out of the soft bedding it was on, scrambling immediately towards the closest object that provided cover. It wasted no time in wiggling underneath the crack and went to the far back of the wall. 
“Ah, guess I scared you huh.”
The human’s foreign words carried no malice but it would not lower its guard. Now it knew that it was trapped in a human’s den with no immediate escape routes. That spot where the human entered seemed to be the only one that led outside but it couldn’t get there, not with it being closed once more. 
Approaching footsteps provoked it into growling, fur puffing up alongside the wisp on its head. Even though it was trapped, if the human tried anything to do harm, it will fight with all its might. Sharp teeth and claws still hurt when aimed at fleshy bits after all.
The human’s feet paused in front of the crack’s entrance. It barred its teeth when yellow-gold eyes peeked at it. The shade evoked memories of its parent, bringing forth sorrow that nearly drowned out its wariness. Unfortunately, it could not afford to mourn its lost, not when faced with extreme danger.
The stand off between it and the enemy lasted for what seemed like forever before the human conceded first. That instinctive fear of being stared down by a predator eased up ever so slightly once those yellow-gold eyes disappeared.
“Okay, I’ll leave you alone. At least eat the food here, alright? It’ll help you recover faster.”
It remained on high alert until the human moved away from its cover. Something was placed on the ground next to the soft bedding, nothing discernible to its eyes right now. Distant footsteps eventually faded altogether once it was left alone, the entrance opened and shut at the human’s exit.
Despite being the only one within the cave, it remained hidden for quite awhile, curled up into a small ball of fur. Its lack of knowledge about humans meant that it had a severe disadvantage, namely that it didn't know their hunting periods.
The elder Zoroark only went out during dusk and dawn, where they had the cover of darkness to further conceal their presence. It could not tell day or night in here, making it more difficult to gauge the human’s return. A single lapse in judgment might spell the end so it had no choice but to wary.
Still, it couldn’t remain that high strung for long. Being alert left it exhausted, reminded of the wounds it sustained before it was caught. Speaking of, it never really crossed its mind during its panic that the injury should’ve hurt more. It was still aware of its dull, persistent presence but that was it. No stabbing, sharp pain.
Curiosity eventually made it uncurl from its tight, protective ball. It twisted its head to look down at its leg. Some kind of white cloth was wrapped around the injury, and a tentative sniff made it rear its head back when a strong, foreign scent assaulted its senses.
How did it get there? The only one it could think of was the human that captured it but that made zero sense. If it took the time to really think, dulling the pain was counterproductive for the human. Wouldn’t it be better to leave it injured so it had little chance of fighting back? And going by that line of thought, the entire set-up seemed off now.
Why did the human bring it back to this cave? It awoke atop soft, warm bedding instead of something cold and hard. Being unconscious meant that there were plenty of chances to put it out of its misery and yet, upon entering earlier, it wasn’t immediately attacked. The human merely followed after it, observed for a moment before leaving it alone again.
It didn’t understand the human’s actions. For all of its short life, it was taught that humans were the enemy. Humans will harm its kin so it must remain hidden. The thought that this could all be some elaborate trap to lower its guard crossed its mind once again but then that begged the question: why?
Why was it kept alive?
This ambiguity made its head hurt. In a way, it’d be much easier had the human simply snuff out its life back in that unknown scenery. Then it wouldn’t have to live with this uncertainty of having its life toyed with. 
It whined softly. It missed its parent, its littermates, its den–all of which no longer existed. It knew that its parent protected it so that it could live on but…
The sound of its stomach growling pulled it away from spiraling. It couldn’t remember the last time it ate. Hunger gnawed at its belly before but the pain took greater presence. Now with it dulled, the hunger came knocking back with a vengeance.
Perhaps it could seek out food within this cave? Surely humans wouldn’t leave their den devoid of anything to eat? It recalled the elder Zoroark bringing out berries from a stash hidden within the den when the elements became too harsh for hunting. It believed that humans were as smart as they were cruel so with that fueling it, a little furry body eventually crawled out of the hiding space. 
It made a cautious sweep of its surroundings, eyes flickering to the closed entrance. It needed to be alert, ready to hide again if the human returned. 
Now with it out in the open, a faint sweet scent caught its attention. It came in the direction of the soft bedding, where upon closer inspection, it found a bowl of… something.
The scent came off from the pile of brown and red bits. It didn’t recognize the brown stuff but the red ones reminded it of berries that it ate before. Did the human left it here before they left? Why? Was it because they wanted to feed it? Another reason why this entire situation made its head hurt. None of the human’s actions made sense.
Its stomach growled once more. Hunger beckoned it to take a bite out of the sweet scented mystery food. This might just be a trap where the food was poisoned but it also smelled really good…
Well, if it was poisoned, perhaps it won’t be such a bad way to end. At least it’d be on a full stomach. That was how it tried to rationalize the situation. 
Swallowing, it cautiously approached the bowl. Leaning down to take another tentative sniff, it decided to go for the red bits that it thought were berries. After a few slow bites, its eyes widened in surprise.
The red bits were delicious! It did taste like the berries it ate before but much sweeter! When it took a bite of the brown stuff, the taste was different but no less appetizing. It began to scarf the mystery food down before long, uncaring at the prospect of it potentially being poisoned in the face of such tastiness gracing its tongue. If it was meant to die after finishing this, at least it wouldn’t be hungry. 
Somehow, it avoided choking from eating everything so quickly. By the time only morsels were left in the bowl, it wobbled a few steps towards the bedding, flopping down rather ungracefully atop its softness.
Rationally, it should go back into hiding instead of being vulnerable like this. Time must have passed while it ate, and while it didn’t know how long humans took to hunt, they could return at any time. Yet with a belly full of yummy, potentially poisoned food, summoning up the energy to do so felt like an impossibility. 
Sleepiness now clouded its vision, the want to close its eyes and slumber on became increasingly hard to ignore. In the end, it decided that it will only sleep for a moment. Just enough to ease the exhaustion before it went back into hiding. Surely it would pick up the sound of the human’s return. It did have good hearing after all.
Soon, it fell into a deep sleep. Unlike what it thought, it remained snoozing on when the entrance opened, unaware of the human that peeked into the room to find it lying on the soft bedding.
“Ah, at least someone was hungry,” the human whispered in their foreign tongue. 
Had it been awake, it would be confused that the human opted to carefully approach it, as if mindful of the noise they made so they wouldn’t disturb its sleep. The emptied bowl was picked up instead, and with the same amount of consideration, the human left the room just as quietly. 
Outside of the hastily prepared room, Drayven idly tapped a beat atop his forearm. He glanced down at his bandaged hand, the one that got bit yesterday by the strange Pokemon now sleeping peacefully inside. 
When he came across the injured little one during one of his morning walks outside of Opelucid City, he knew that he had to help it. Maybe he should have exercised more tact on how he approached it—his wife certainly gave him an earful while she disinfect the wound—but at the very least, he got it back home after it exhausted itself within his arms.
Drayven knew that for a speedy recovery, he should have brought the little one to a Pokemon Center instead. Yet he couldn’t bring himself to, not when he saw how terrified it looked. Call it instincts but he had the feeling that had he done so, he would never be able to see it again. 
The Pokemon didn’t look like anything he saw before. While it did have a similar build to Zorua, that was where the resemblance ended. Drayven concluded that the little one might be a rare Pokemon, and if he took into consideration the open fear it had towards him, one that had an unpleasant experience with humans.
This was all speculation of course but that was what his gut told him. If Drayven were to put his trust in something, it’d be just that. It was that very same feeling that led him and Elyssa to adopt the girl his dad introduced them to after all. 
Speaking of his dad, maybe it was time that he asked for the old man’s opinion in this matter. If anyone knew how to handle wild and distrustful Pokemon, it’d be him.

explaining my mutant!felicia hc 🫶🫶
Felicia is a feral mutant, meaning she has atavistic mutations or animalistic traits (think Beast, Angel, Sabretooth, etc). These traits include:
Cat’s eyes - This is why she wears her signature blue contacts: not just to see in the electromagnetic spectrum, but also to hide her mutation and make her less easy to identify. She uses different ones in and out of costume for fashion purposes, but her true eye color is green in the same way a cat’s eyes are green, not a human’s. Because of this, her pupils reflect off of cctv cameras sometimes which can also make her hard to identify. Our first look at Felicia in the 1963 ASM run shows her with glowing eyes, which have only ever been adapted in the Spider-Man animation (and you all know how i feel about that 😒).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pointed ears - The reason she keeps her hair down while fighting is to cover her ears, despite the fact this is pretty inconvenient. The upper cartilage is a lot thinner and more flexible than human ears, which means she’s cursed to only wear lobe piercings (something she’s definitely a little bitter about).
Fangs - this one is definitely self explanatory, but cats also only get 30 adult teeth, meaning that rather than a full set of fangs throughout her entire mouth, the only sharp teeth she has are her canines. Other than that, her teeth are the same as a human’s. Felicia is also extremely lactose intolerant, just like real cats. Luckily, this is the only food allergy she has due to her mutation.
Claws (obviously) - Because cat’s claws are attached to the knuckle, Felicia’s claws work in the same way. This means she can’t extender her claws out fully while her hand is in a relaxed position, instead she must flex a ligament in between her distal and medial finger bones. This becomes inconvenient after long periods of time, which is why she prefers to use traditional fighting techniques in combat and only use her claws when necessary. She also sheds the outer layers of her claws as they grow, which makes manicures easy as it eliminates the need for nail polish remover!
No rigid collar bone - Felicia’s collar bone, like most cat’s, is disconnected from other bones and instead connected by muscles. This grants her increased flexibility and allows her to squeeze into tight spaces. Perfect for a career criminal!
A tail - honestly this one varies for me, so sometimes I like it sometimes I don’t 🤥‼️ Cat’s use their tails as counterbalances for walking on narrow spaces and when running and jumping, as well as expressing emotions and communicating with other cats. I alwaya hc Felicia as having very expressive facial movements and body expressions so this one just feels like it fits her well.
White hair - this ones kind of just playing with what’s already there. We see Fel with her signature white hair in her flashbacks as a child in TETMD, so I think it makes sense that this is a trait that’s naturally occurring and a result of her mutation.
I also hc Felicia’s mutation as being a pretty big divide between her and Peter because while Felicia’s bad luck can be targeted, it also is affected by her emotions and her control of them. This could potentially put people who are in a high-stress situation with her in a lot of danger. Felicia feels she can control her powers just fine, but Peter feels she has a responsibility to find some way to keep them in check to avoid other people from getting caught in the crossfire.
Felicia being a mutant is also a big part of her friendship with Logan, as both of them are feral mutants who view themselves as bad but think they’re past redemption. As mutants aren’t exactly accepted in the marvel universe , Felicia keeps her mutation relatively hidden. She’s perfectly fine with people speculating what she is, and keeps her crew small to avoid people finding out. This can be isolating however, and she confides in Logan often as her only real mutant friend.
(I’m a big Logan & Fel bff truther!!! I’m sorry I can’t help it they should be besties!!!!)
Felicia’s father, Walter (the first Black Cat) was a mutant without physical traits but had a much more subdued form of tychokinesis, which is where he got his name. As she inherited the X-gene from him, Felicia feels her mutation is the greatest gift her father ever gave her and is a lasting connection between the two of them following his death.

Name: Casanova Valentine [Belongs to @cannibalsweetheart ]
Dragon Species: Zalant
Gender: Male
Dragon Power: Aphrodisiac gas [+control of said gas]
Description :
Casanova is a long, mostly black scaled serpentine dragon with two arms, a pair of large wings and eight horns adoring his face. The largest horns sit atop of his head with a slight curve to them and share the same red coloration like the face, chest and tail tip. 
Two small black horns adore his forehead while on each side of his head, two larger, very sharp, white coloured horns protrude outwards. Those are more often than not covered by a white, pink-ish gas that surrounds Casanova's head, making it resemble something akin to fluffy hair.
Right below his hetrochromic eye's is a pink coloured, heart shaped symbol that has the ability to glow, bright pink when emotions are high.
His face and chest are covered in red scales that can change into a lighter shade or darker shade of red depending on his overall health. Two black spikes adore his upper chest, sitting right below each other. 
His arms have a lighter shade of red which turns into black scales when reaching his wrist and hand. Each hand has four digits with sharp claws attached to them. 
On his back rests two large black wings with a large symbol on his back, a red heart with horns and something resembling a branch or antlers underneath the heart. The insides of the wings are slightly damaged, leaving rips and tears throughout the bottom part of the wings. The red coloured patagium is thinner than that of other Zalants but still quite sturdy like any other regular Zalant patagium would be.
The tail end is partially tinted a red, ending with an upside down, heart shaped fin attached to it that is made out of patagium.
Other Information :
- Casanova has a pharyngeal jaw similar to those of a Moray Eel's, just much larger and stronger. It seems to be used to help him swallow down bigger, struggling prey. That couldn't be ripped apart by his claws or front teeth.
- His hair is made out of Aphrodisiac Gas that he can breath out before taking full control of it in movement, firmness and shape. He can also form them into objects, the only downsides to his power are that he's only semi-resistant to his very own gas and larger doses will affect him. 
And that strong gusts of air can blow off his Aphrodisiac Gas before he can take full control of it. This also applies to his hair and other semi-firm gas objects he created.
- Casanova, like most other  patients in the facility, is capable of human speech. Through comments and clues given by him it's theorised that Casanova might actually be a demon. That somehow either turned themself into a Zalant or got infected by the virus. It is yet unknown what type of demon Casanova could be or if they even, truly  are a demon.
- Casanova is half blind but makes up for it with his extreme keen sense of smell that can detect anyone or anything from a 5 mile radius.
- Zalants are lightning fast, quiet hunters. They either wait in dark areas for prey to come by to snatch up quickly or glide through the air until they find the perfect prey to snatch up for a quick meal. Zalant's don't do well in close combat and will escape any danger the second they can.

Dossier: Eshra
Tumblr media
Name: Eshra Gender: Cis Male Species: Anavri Yokai
Basic Concept: if a velociraptor and a cockatoo had a really gay baby. clever, showy, neurotic if isolated, and basically velcro if he likes you but will probably wreck your stuff if he's pissed off and he'll make uncomfortable eye contact the entire time
Height: 4'11" (teenager) to 5'6" (adult) Colors: White body, blue and green crest/wings/tail Eye Color: Honey gold Piercings: Tongue barbel
Physical Description: Eshra resembles an anthropomorphic dromaeosaur in basic shape, with a lean, athletic build; three-toed digitigrade feet; three-fingered wing-like arms; and a long, muscular tail ending in a roughly spade-shaped tuft of feathers. In lieu of hair (or... nothing at all), he has a crest of feathers similar to a cockatiel's that can be raised or lowered at will or on instinct. This crest is an incredibly important part of how Eshra displays emotion: it stands up and flares when he's angry or surprised/startled ("look bigger" instinct), stands up more narrowly and even quivers when he's particularly happy, and lays very flat against his head and neck when he's scared ("look smaller" instinct) or sad. It can even betray him(!) by giving away more of his emotional state than he might prefer.
Personality: As a teenager, Eshra is good-natured and happy-go-lucky, with a side of snark. His easygoing nature makes him generally willing to roll with whatever shenanigans are going on around him. He's very physically affectionate and family-oriented; his biology as part of a pack-minded species practically demands it. The downside to this is that he's susceptible to emotional and mental instability and breakdowns if isolated for extended periods of time. He loves music and dancing, although he doesn't have what you could call a concrete style. He just likes to vibe and boogie. He's chatty enough, but he also communicates extensively with body language, particularly with his crest and tail. There's a definite learning curve on both sides when communicating with those who lack either or both (which is… basically everyone).
As an adult in the Bad Future™, he's tried to hold on to his personality, although it's become decidedly muted, and his intense drive to protect his pack has led to the development of a definite vicious streak, usually only seen on the battlefield… but sometimes off it, too. His adopted family are the ones most likely to still see the real him, and he still has the same warm and affectionate bonds with them -- he would have lost his mind years before without those connections -- but the loss of family and friends has wounded him just as deeply as it has the others. The rest of the world typically sees simply a focused, no-nonsense warrior. He speaks less to non-family, and often the only clue outsiders get to his mood is from watching his crest or tail. War is hell, especially when you started fighting it at 16.
In general, Eshra leans more "feral" in behavior than, for example, the turtles or a typical yokai. He communicates with sound and body language a lot, particularly when his emotions -- either good or bad -- are high. Anger is expressed with a flared crest, exposed teeth, brandished claws, etc. Happiness or affection includes things like chirping, trilling, chirring, and grooming. This gets more pronounced in the Bad Future™.
Preferred Weapons: Wind and fire wheels Combat Style: Agile and adaptable, with lots of lower body use in the form of kicks and leg- and tail-sweeps. Not dissimilar to capoeira. Being less physically sturdy, he tries to avoid staying in close range with large, powerful opponents for long. He excels at team-based combat, often showing an almost supernatural ability to know where he needs to be and when, but can struggle as a solo fighter; he works best as part of a pack.
Mystic Powers: The manipulation of air both offensively, via turning his wheels into throwing weapons, and defensively, such as forming shields and barriers. Fueled by magic-infused "wind seeds" he buys or (more often) steals, something he hides from his adopted family, letting them believe he has a mystic weapon like they do. Donatello eventually replaces these with Genius Built™ Tech-Wheels (patent pending) that offer the same functions. (Eshra refused to let him add anything fun like laser sights or electrification. There were accusations of never letting Donnie shine. It was awkward.)
Ninpo: In the Bad Future™, Eshra's adoption eventually becomes "official" when he unlocks his ninpo some time after the initial invasion by the krang, although the circumstances weren't… great. His ninpo strengthens his abilities with air currents, allowing him to even more treat gravity as a joke, as well as granting him the ability to form energy "Feather Flechettes" that he can throw like throwing knives or form and fling from his tail. Later on, he learns how to turn these "energy knives" into what amounts to timed explosives.
In the good future, it's unlikely he ever unlocks his ninpo.

Finally made a little quick comparison sheet of demons vs. deristians. Some biology notes:
Demons average between 6'7" and 7'1". Deristians average between 7'0" and 7'6". Blackbloods, the product of a demon and deristian, fall anywhere within this range and often even shorter.
Demon skintones lean towards reds and blues, while deristians have more of a neutral undertone. Blackbloods have grey undertones.
Hair colors for demons tend towards the same tones as humans, though with more vibrant reds and bluer blacks. Deristians can have any hair color. Blackbloods tend to have exclusively dark hair, regardless of the hair color of their parents.
Demons may have eyes in any color, including black and white. Deristians are limited to blue, grey, green, and brown. Blackbloods may have any eye color, but white and grey are most common.
Demons have anywhere from 30 to 60 teeth, depending on ethnicity. All teeth are pointed with the exception of the molars. Some demons file their teeth flat to look more approachable to non-demons. Deristians on the other hand possess exactly 36 teeth, all flat save for the incisors and canines. The canines can be up to an inch in exposed length and are semi-retractable. Blackbloods, like demons, may have betweeb 30-60 teeth and they are usually all pointed.
Bone density and resilience of demons is greater than that of humans and deristians. They are capable of withstanding much greater force without breaking or fracturing.
Deristians and snake demons have flexible rib cages. Snake demons also have extremely flexible spines and are almost capable of curling into a perfect ball. Blackbloods tend to be much stiffer.
Deristian skin often has black, red, or white markings, which are particular to their bloodline. Demons can have stippling, spotting, striping, piebalding, dappling, masking, and banding, usually only a shade off from their primary skin color. Blackbloods often exhibit both types of markings at once.
Both demons and deristians have naturally long fingernails. In demons they tend to curl under, like claws, while in deristians they grow straight.
Demons are broader on average than humans or deristians. Deristians tend towards being slender, and have proportionately longer arms.
Blackbloods are prone to a blood disorder that causes bleeding from mucosal linings, such as those in the eyes and inside of the mouth. There is no known cure. Approximately 60% of blackbloods exhibit this disorder. Blackbloods also have a higher incidence of blindness (30% of the population).
There are exceptions to every rule! For instance, Briton is a very broad shouldered, sturdy deristian and Isze is a very slender demon; Umbre is short for a demon (6'3").
I'll make a more detailed ref sheet at a later date bc frankly I'm a tired bitch lol but this is enough for anyone to make their own demon or deristian.

Lucia daughter of the Phoenician
Lucia daughter of the Phoenician Class: Bard Species: Half Siren Alignment: True Neutral? (Unsure because she does eat people)
Fulgrim's little princess, when he found out she existed he made sure that she knew that he loved her and was not there as a simple fuck.
This allowed her to explore her "human" half as she only being a half siren never fit fully in with the rest of the harem (I've decided a group of sirens is called a harem even if it is a mixed sex group) even if she was the matron's child
He took her away and taught her so much culture and doted upon her in the sense of her studies.
She never got the same level of perfectionism as her father as she she would more often see the imperfection just as a manifestation of her personal style
She would dress up in dresses and skirts and just be an adorable little girl but once she hit puberty is when her sirenic nature took hold
Her coming of age ceremony for the harem was her seducing a sailor and dragging him to the depths to eat which she did but suddenly everyone was noticing her
Fulgrim unabashedly has had to kill a few men and women who got too interested in his daughter even if she tried not to seduce them. Often it was just her natural beauty
So how Lucia negates her siren passive nature is by having a far more "grunge" style. A top that has a tall neck that covers her mouth or she uses a scarf, her hair is oily and lays limply around her face. She wears baggy clothes that hide her form.
She has the same musical tastes as Sigismund in that if it was in terms of modern music it would be more powermetal, alt rock, and some pop.
However her clothes are easy to remove and all she has to do is get her hair wet and flip it back and suddenly you have a siren and this is when you can see she is Fulgrim's child. Of course everyone is far too distracted by her body and her voice to notice how dark her eyes are when she is singing like a siren or how sharp her nails and teeth are.
Personality wise she is rather laidback
Her eyes when she is not utilizing her abilities are a gold color with cat eye slits and her hair is pure white, she is quite pale so even if her clothes are baggy they tend to be colorful
Her main weapon besides her instruments, which she would totally add a blade to the side of her instrument to cave someone's head in, is her teeth and claws.

*cough cough* so uh.... nonhuman jade??? I feel like he would frog blink at me
Either that or not blink at all/hardly blink, most fish don't have eyelids, and even though he and the other mers do it's not like they would need to underwater. Tbh Seb and Mal would prob do that weird blink.
Anyway, since He and Floyd are the same kind of creature, stuff from Floyd's post will be repeated.
He still has his ear and arm fins even with the potion. He can make his ear fins wiggle and droop and they will sometimes do it unconsciously, perhaps because of how he’s feeling or if he’s eating or sucking on something. Unlike Floyd, Jade will do his best to control it since that shows his emotions and he doesn't want others to be able to read him, though that's not to say he won’t do it on purpose like when he fake cries. The whole “being able to produce tears” thing wasn't something he could do until he got on land. Fish don't have or need tear ducts. Still, if it's just the two of you he might give a fin wiggle to hear you giggle, he be silly like that sometimes,
He can make the arm fins flare out and go down so he can get shirts on easier, and they will flare out when trying to be threatening.
Still keeps some of his eel coloring and stripes along with his claws. His hands start with that not-quite-white he has and become more of that green-blue going up.
His fingers have little bits of webbing and...are kind of creepily long. 
Doesn’t blink as often as a human should and his eyes glow in the dark, along with his habit of staring it can be a bit startling. 
Like his brother, is very instant on getting you in the water with him for some reason. If you can't swim, he'll offer to let you ride him. Though he is capable of outspending a broom you don't worry about him trying to zoom like Floyd, that doesn't mean he won't try to scare you in the water though. He may be more polite than his brother but he's still a little shit.
Has no belly button or nips.
Has a very strong interest in your feet and legs, especially with how…soft they are. In the official manga, we get to see that Floyd isn't the only touchy eel, though he isn't…rough about it like Floyd. Well, not as long as it's you. He loves to poke, squeeze, and rub them. Very very badly wants to bite but…he’s a gentleman. At least until you guys are together, and he has permission, expect to look like you got nabbed by a small shark then after.
He can't help but be fascinated by how different your body is, he really does want to study you, though funnily enough he gets a bit of stage fright if you try doing the same.
Is a fan of those small clawless hands. Seeing how they prune up when wet for too long, holding them and enjoying that soft warmth. He’s bigger than plenty of people but gets a special kick out of how big you make him feel.
His skin feels different from what humans have but isn't quite the same as when in his eel form. It's soft but also…thick. There’s no way you would be able to break his skin with your bite or scratches, dull little human nails and teeth can't do much. He would be pretty amused at you actually trying to bite him, how cute. It makes him want to tease you more and make you make you angry enough to try more. Still, if you do somehow manage to break skin he’s prepared, can’t have his little shrimp die of poisoning.
Along with eating fish, crabs, and octopus's moray also eat very toxic creatures and as a result, the blood and flesh of a moray are very toxic. They accumulate high levels of ciguatoxins, which can give humans ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) if eaten. There will be times in a fight where he’ll get his blood on the guy on purpose and Jade has used his blood for…things before. Part of why Jade wants to test “special” mushrooms on others is because the poison won't affect him, and he wants to see how it affects others. Might poison you in small doses on purpose so you'll build up a tolerance.
A moray will often eat anything small enough to fit in its mouth and is capable of taking a chunk out of bigger fish. As a result, Floyd will also try to eat…not food things if he can fit it in his mouth. Luckily for you, Jade has more self-control than his brother so your small nicknacks are safe...for now.
Everything about you just triggers his prey drive. He really wants to bite you, chase you, squish you, put eggs in you, bite you some more. Really hates having to keep up his calm gentlemanly image at times.
Can open his mouth scarily wide and his teeth are longer than OG Jade's, so it's a bit harder for him to hide them like he would with those polite smiles he always has. Very long tongue, you've seen it when he totally wasn't trying to show it off to you. He was just enjoying that ice cream. Funny how you're the only one to get a good look at it though.
Has pharyngeal jaws which are a second set of smaller jaws located in the throat of the moray eel, behind the normal jaws in the mouth, complete with tiny teeth. This set of jaws gets launched into the mouth cavity during feeding, where it can grasp onto food, and pull it into the throat to swallow. Morays are unique in using their pharyngeal jaws to actively capture and restrain prey in this way.
Certain eels have been shown to be surprisingly affectionate with divers they recognize and enjoy petting, rubbing, and gentle hugs. Though a bit touchy, when in public he is nowhere near as touchy as Floyd. When alone? Just as bad if he knows you are comfortable with it.
His gills are still present so his rib area is a weak spot. Getting hit there would really hurt and really piss him off.
Is nocturnal and prefers dark places, especially when sleeping. He also likes being snug and wrapped up for sleepies. In the sea, he would like to sleep in small places with his brother and would love for you and him to share a sleeping bag when camping.
Tumblr media
Moray have a spongy, sluggy texture from their lack of scales. To top it off, these fish are covered in a thick mucous layer. Believe it or not, mucous serves a very strong purpose in nature, typically providing a protective barrier over otherwise vulnerable layers of skin. Your stomach should have a thick mucous layer to protect it from the acids inside, and similarly, a fish without scales can make good use of this snotty, slimy substance to keep it safe from toxins and physical damage as it occupies its rocky habitat.
The green moray eel is actually brown under all the snot; it’s just covered in a thick green layer of mucous. In some species, this mucous is even toxic, making them a particularly nasty prey item. Luckily what Floyd and Jade have isn't the toxic kind and will make your skin pretty nice. Jade will use this in his favor to get more cuddles. Careful though, he may do what Floyd does and perform what is known as a slime attack by slapping someone in the face with his tail, it is very unpleasant to get in your mouth.
The smallest moray, the Snyder’s moray, is around 12cm (4.5in) long, and the largest is more than 3m (over 10ft) long and weighs up to 30kg. A huge moray eel in Indonesia has been witnessed feeding on sharks and I like to headcanon the tweels are pretty big in their mer form and not just because of tail length.
Morays actually have pretty bad eyesight and a keen sense of smell to make up for this and rely primarily on chemoreception such as smells and tastes to navigate their world. I do wonder if the twins need glasses but don't use them or maybe wear contacts. 
Jade is very good at tracking you down by scent and likes it when you smell like him and him smelling like you. Though he loves cuddling and hugging you, it isn't just for affection. He’s giving you that eel stank, plenty of the others are weary around him and you smelling like him can help keep others away.
Unlike with Floyd Him leaving clothes at your place is never out of forgetfulness. He plans everything out. Insistes that you put on his coat when it’s cold out and drapes it on you before you can say no. Hoodies aren't usually his thing, but his ass bought some just for  “forgetting” them at your place. They're actually some fancy name-brand ones. Still, even with his planning, he could not prepare himself with how good you looked in them…it was so big on you, and you looked so cute and now it smelled like you and….
The moray can form a true knot with its body, that it uses as leverage to pull on prey items like slippery fish. They can also use this method to create strong pressure to break food items into smaller pieces. It’s thought that the skill is passed on between individuals. So, if you want to escape eel cuddles…good luck but it's probably not going to happen. Even in his more human form his long arms and legs will be wrapped around you. Kinda funny thinking of the tweel's parents teaching them how to become living knots though.
Certain types of eels can change their sex. The leaf-nosed moray born male, transitions as they age, switching to female later in life. This transformation determines them as “sequential hermaphrodites” I like to headcanon that the tweens can also change sex or already have both in their mer form. 
Morays can have around 10,000 eggs at a time, and when the larvae are hatched, the eels are fully translucent. I like to think the boys started out as tiny little things you can hold in your hand.
Regular eels do seem to have some courtship rituals. Some of which being displays of behavior, such as graceful movements and vibrant color changes and I already like that headcanon of the tweels being bioluminescent. Maybe he convinced you to come down to his dorm's special pool one night and decided to show off for you. Showing off that beautiful glow while doing these cool tricks in the water. A positive reaction will likely be taken as acceptance, so unless you tell him no, you will receive some wet slimy eel-loving.
Male eels may compete with each other for the attention of females showcasing strength and health to impress a potential mate. Welp, time for Jade to invite you to a hike and show off, expect to be carried after he makes up after walking into an area, something about the grounds stability and how only a seasoned hiker like him knows the proper steps to safety. Dude will lift up a whole ass dead tree trunk stuck in your path. Will also be even more of a menace towards the other guys.
Eels also release pheromones into the water to attract and communicate with potential partners but...hmm you're just a human and on land. With the others being beasts and all, they would be able to smell it easily and know to stay the hell away from him but would his little shrimpy notice? I think at most that if it's something that you can smell it probably just seems like Jade has just smelled a bit…musky lately. He is probably around you even more and keeps close to see your reaction to it. He probably gets sad if you tell him he stinky and takes it as you not wanting him. If you compliment it? Very happy eel time.
As for the rest of what he does, it's little things like bringing you food which is often cooked by him, little trinkets that made him think of you, and getting territorial around others. The latter usually ends up with him not bothering to hide his teeth as he “smiles” at whoever is talking to you, likely having his hand on your shoulder or waist while doing so.

Verona (Storm Ghoul)
Here's a lil information about my ghoul oc named Verona.
Verona is one of the first storm ghoul that ever summoned in the Ministry. Their element is quite confusing, so the Ministry classify them as a multighoul.
Storm ghouls are not that common, their element is a mixture of air and water. It makes them could control both air and water. They are less likely to be able to produce storms unless they get provoked.
Verona is considered as the younger ghouls, and they are still learning in the ministry. Verona is not the smartest one in the class, they are somewhere in the middle? Their strongest traits are they have a HUGE curiosity, so they would never stop learning.
They are 1.78 meters (5'8 ft) tall and has a lean body, but surprisingly strong legs. Verona unintentionally trains their legs by holding themselves up not to tremble (or even fall) when they're controlling the storm that they've made, and it's not easy!
Verona also has striking white hair and super light grey irises. Their irises is not as white as the Papas'. Their skin tone is medium to dark, and have wavy hair. These traits made others find Verona so easily, but wait until when it comes to raining season because they could blend easily through the howling wind and pouring rain.
Verona has two little fangs, and they deeply admire those sharp teeth. Verona is often seen sharpening their fangs in their spare time. "For weapons!" they said.
Their horns are actually fully white, but as they grow older, the tip start to get darker and spreading more and more invading the white parts. Someday it would be fully black.
Verona is a literal ghoul-shaped cat: they use their claws a lot than their element to defend themselves. And they hiss a lot when there's a stranger who comes way too close.
Verona is not the most talkative one, but when they speak, their words are deep. Sarcastic, even. They feel more comfortable speaking through drawings, sketches, a mind map even. They talk using their hand a lot to describe things.
Verona is a big thinker which makes them pretty idealistic, but on the other side, they're also impulsive.
Verona's room is not the most neat one, but they surely put things in boxes based on their function. Stationaries, books, enamel pins, etc.
Verona's favorite color is Capri Blue.
Tumblr media
About Verona and the other ghouls... Verona loves to be around water and air ghouls. Sometimes they hang around the earth ghouls too. They have mixed feelings towards fire ghouls, Verona thinks fire ghouls are cool but some of them are so cocky. Verona had a fight with a fire ghoul, earning them a scar across their right eye.
The pictures below show Verona when the first time they were summoned, and Verona now.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
For Verona and the band ghouls... Verona has a big fat crush on Rain. This is why Verona chooses to be a bassist, the other reason is because they think guitar is just too confusing. They just want to scream cry throw up whenever they see Rain. Swiss, the master of reading people's body, noticed this and teased Verona about it nonstop.
As stated before, Verona doesn't have the best relationship with Dewdrop. Despite that, Verona had some training session with Dewdrop, creating the most terrifying disaster of all time: fiery storm lingering on top of the ministry. Dewdrop laughed manically when it happened, while Verona was laughing but also being scared to death. What if the Papas or Sister is angry? (Spoiler: they did). Verona still respect Dewdrop because they don't want to get burned by the fiery demon (Verona calls him that).
Mountain calls Verona his 'little one' in brotherly way. Verona goes to Mountain's garden often.
Verona always up for a talk with Aether, they think Aether is so wise and they see him as a fatherly figure. Sadly Aether seems always busy going around the ministry, managing this or that, also helping the Papas.
The ghoulettes LOVES Verona so fucking much, especially Cumulus and Cirrus. These three share the same element which is air, so the ghoulettes are Verona's mentor. Cumulus is that kind and loving, soft mentor while Cirrus is that straightforward and assertive mentor. Verona loves them both!
Sunshine is helping her girlfriends to teach Verona by putting on as much sunlight as she could and tell Verona to cover it with their storm. This training enhances Verona's strength on managing their element.

                          @kusattainu  :    i don't need more men in my life.
Tumblr media
      𝑻𝙝𝒆 𝒔𝙢𝒆𝙡𝒍 𝒑𝙚𝒓𝙢𝒆𝙖𝒕𝙚𝒔 𝒐𝙛 𝙛𝒍𝙤𝒘𝙚𝒓𝙨 && 𝒉𝙤𝒏𝙚𝒚. Sticky sweetness that clings to everything, amidst the shadows figures with their snow white faces smile, blackened teeth nestled perfectly in their maw, they wave && laugh on cue. Colors of Spring from monotone to offset the vibrancy all dance before their eyes, she tilts her head curiously, a singular brow raising. Tea that was thick && rich with medicinal purposes, the scent of incense && spun sugar drifting from her skin, she wants to laugh this place is no better. “They have no use here” nonchalant, her shoulders roll forward with a shrug, “Alas, I seldom believe that’s the reason for your visitation” everyone knew that Clan Kobayashi scowled at the thought of males on their sacred land, exposed to their beautiful realm they carefully constructed centuries ago.
     Amongst the purity of their ethereal stance, there is an air of wickedness that only moves when certain effigies take place, commanding voices that demand another lesson to be repeated; razor sharp teeth && forked tongues. She seems worried, as if the illusion is faltering momentarily, on sleepy days like this - it’s difficult to pretend. “Did you join us to be schooled in dance?” it’s a cheeky remark, the cosmic glow within her eyes sparkling, ignited as she snickers. Visitors are seldom between, they often speak of the same nonsense, trying to garnish favor or another poor young girl unaware of the trials they shall face. They are still met with hospitality, the deception of kind words && warmth from a treacherous tongue. Somehow, this encounter causes her to soften, discard the persona she wore so tight it was impossible to break, a glimpse of exhaustion that briefly manifests as bandaged fingers press against the bridge of her nose. 
    “Come, let’s walk in the gardens && discuss” she beckons, her petite silhouette that moves against the sunlight, never without intimidating heels, always in bondage as if to secure what wishes to slip out. “They’re pretty useless, huh?” the silence between is shattered, she snorts softly remarking, “Good for dying && deceiving but not much else, well! Some are cute” she’s friendly, awkward in a way that seems uncharacteristic of a woman of her caliber, stumbling over each word as her grin remains genuine.
   “It’s mostly women here && children, the Kobayashi lineage has no use for males they cannot inherit our technique but, if you’re looking for somewhere to rest your head - nowhere else is as perfect”
nineteen claws and a black bird. (accepting)

Deitykin Memories 5
This will be about my appearance as a deity.
As Dhor, I was a polymorph meaning I could shape-shift. I don't know if I had a base form - I'm pretty sure I didn't, actually - but I had a few favorites that I would take when meeting mortals.
Most of the mortals on my old world looked vaguely humanoid, so my favorite form to take when interacting was humanoid, too. Two arms, two legs, one head, etc. Sometimes I had antlers, sometimes fluffy (furry?) ears, sometimes I had nothing but the white hair on my head.
Said hair was white/silver, reached my ankles, and ran wild because I rarely took care of it. I'm not sure why, but everyone (gods, mortals, and the people in-between) were very attracted to it and always wanted to touch and braid it.
I didn't need teeth on a regular basis since I didn't need to eat or talk with a mouth, but when I made a mouth anyway (away from mortals) my teeth were sharp like a wolf's. To make room for them all my mouth stretched across most of my face.
I had two golden eyes. Like a snake or like a wolf, or sometimes without pupils at all. I had claws too, and how much fur I had at any given time on my body was really a matter of preference from day to day. I was uncommonly tall and had a usually male(?) figure, but no privates, which was an interesting realization, but makes sense considering my gender dysphoria around them.
My skin was often the same, or close to the same, color as my hair, though I changed it if I was trying to be unseen in the dark for whatever reason.
I had a tail, usually a big fluffy one - the kind you would see on some type of canine (fox or wolf seem the most likely fits) - but I found a long, thin tail useful for carrying things or hanging from trees, so that was my second most often used one.
And that's it. I still feel the need to change form a lot of the time. I wish I could still - it would make most things in life easier to deal with - but at least I have the memories of what I used to be able to do.

Introduction!
(Updated as of 3/31/24)
[]
Hello! I am in the alterhuman/otherkin community. Particularly, my identities are Copinglinks. My blog will be Nightfury/Lightfury, Werewolf, and Voa related.
Also, I have occasional fictional character copinglinks that pop up then wane over time. Because of that, I'm unsure if I should list or talk about them in length (aside from organizing tags).
Regardless, you can call me Lurk!
I don't have a specific DNI list, but if you're off-putting on my blog or anywhere else, you will be blocked.
More Info Below!
I might be slightly misinformed at times, so I apologize if I get anything wrong. If you wanna chat or inform me of something, feel free!
[]
General information about my three main links/types include...
Night/Lightfury: The appearance shifts at times. Most often, it is a Nightfury with yellow eyes, and white coloration on the four legs, including the ear nubs and tail fins. Shifts include phantom shifts via tail, claws, ear nubs, less often wings, and then hunting/territorial mental shifts. This is the most commonly occuring copinglink.
Werewolf/Wolf: Also similarly, the appearance changes subtly over time. Brown to black fur, situation dependent, with yellow eyes. I'm not sure if it is a regular wolf or your more typical two-legged and slightly anthro werewolf. Shifts include phantom shifts via tail, ears, paws, claws, snout, and then territorial/pack-oriented mental shifts. This is the least commonly occuring copinglink.
Voa: This is the hardest to explain, due to the obscurity of it. If anyone reading this is curious, it is from Toastyglow's "Escape From Divinity" Youtube animatic series. As the aformentioned creator is active on this site, I will probably refrain from tagging the source in any posts, even if I would want to in order to hopefully find others of the same identity. Regardless, Voa is a fictional species from EFD which is humanoid, albeit taller/bigger and more physically capable. They have black, velvety fur covering the eyes, head, and can spread on the rest of the body in varying patterns, usually on the back, chest, arms, legs, and so on. They have legs like a cat's hind legs, a long tufted tail, claws, furred ears, pronounced/sharper teeth, and horns. Their culture (at least as shown in the source) is peaceful, democratic, ect. The represented town is of greek/mediterranian style, with a port for boats and fishing. Dancing and festivals are a more in-depth thing. I will stop describing Voa for now, as this is getting long. I will try to make posts about this copinglink the most because of the unknown nature. Shifts include phantom shifts via claws, legs, tail, horns, and then no prominent mental shifts.
If you want, ask me about any of this, I'd be more than happy to answer!
[]
I tag things with some tags somewhat irrelevant to me for revelancy and connection sake.
Tags:
#black.scales - Night/Lightfury
#brown.fur - Wolf/Werewolf
#white.eyes - Voa
#old.script - Own Posts
#scattered.light - Stim/Moodboards
Temporary Character Copinglink Tags:
#marked.cursed.spirit - Sukuna (Jujustu Kaisen)
(Archived Temp. Character Copinglink Tags:)
#yellow.feathered.scarf - Ryoji Mochizuki (Persona 3)
