Contained in this thread is everything that we know about bloblings so far. It'll be updated as we get to know more about them, so check back here every now and again. :3
General Info:
Bloblings are squishy orbs with a two eyes and a mouth. Their skin, if you can call it that, feels smooth, warm and dense to the touch. When squished, they bounce back like mochi, and it feels there's liquid smooshing around under the surface... because there is. It's blood. Their eyes can be any colour, but the colour of their blood will always match the colour of their eyes. Their skin can be any colour, too, and often they'll have markings like freckles or stripes.
They can blink, but they don't really need to. They can also eat, and while they don't need to do that either, many bloblings find eating quite pleasurable. Bloblings don't have tongues, but they can still taste, and their blood doubles as stomach acid and breaks down any food that they consume over time.
Like humans, they can make just about any noise using their mouth. They can bark, growl, hiss, chirp, whistle, make fart noises... and speak. Bloblings begin play knowing the All-Language (every blobling can speak to and understand every other blobling), though you're welcome to have your blobling bark or hoot or stay entirely silent if you wish.
Since they don't have any legs or wings to speak of, they get around by either rolling, bouncing or floating. Every blobling can float about an inch or two off of the ground, maybe a foot or two in times of great need, but for some reason they can't seem to go any higher. If falling from a great height, they can catch themselves if they try, but their very limited flight doesn't kick in automatically. Bloblings are very bouncy, quite like a water balloon, but can be punctured... also like a water balloon.
A blobling's blood is necessary for it to live, and if it loses all of it for any reason, it's just a matter of time before it perishes. All bloblings who die will... well, let's leave some things to mystery. ;3
Role Playing as a Blobling:
Bloblings are newly created creatures whose memories of any time before their creation are limited. Pick 1 - 3 concepts for them to remember. Many claim to be haunted by flickers of things they once knew, but such flickers are much like a human's deja vu and pass quickly, though they can wear at the psyche.
Each and every one of them has a different personality and thoughts that are their own, but none of them have a past. As of the beginning of this role play, every blobling has just popped into existence. The things that happen to and have happened to your blobling are the things that occur in writing, in our threads or in narrative time after the site starts up.
That isn't to say that your blobling has to be bland. They can be loud, abrasive, confused about the world around them and what it means to be. They can be depressed and they can not want to exist or talk back to the Creator who made them. Or they can just really like counting sand, I dunno. Is that an interesting character quirk? Hard to say. Anyway, what I'm saying here is: except for past lives, which they may be able to remember with some clarity, your bloblings are clean slates. But let's not keep them that way, shall we?
Blobling FAQ:
1. How long does it take for a blobling to heal from being punctured? Do they heal at all?
Much like with humans, individual blobling healing times vary. Generally speaking, a blobling can heal from a minor wound within minutes, and from a major wound within hours... provided they don't lose more than 80 percent of their blood and just die. Hope they have arms!
2. What does blobling blood taste like?
... uhhh, I guess your blobling's blood can taste like anything you want it to. But once you pick a taste, that'll be its flavour forever.
3. Can my blobling be venomous?
Yes and no. Currently, the only thing that can give a blobling 'powers' is an Other Voucher, which can do appearance-related modifications that aren't covered by the other vouchers. This means that it can make a blobling have an rainbow aura, or be made entirely of mist, or be see-through, or be a ghost, or, theoretically, be able to float or fly even without wings. The last thing is stretching it a little, but it stills falls under the capabilities of an Other Voucher. Basically, an Other Voucher covers visual changes to a blobling that aren't covered by the other vouchers.
If you truly wish for your blobling to have a unique power-power, you should apply for a Personal Power once they're available.
