Description

Finished species sheet for my oldest original species, Skull Constructs! They're an open species, so please feel free to make one c:

OFFICIAL TRAIT SHEET: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

RULES AND ADDITIONAL INFO
Skin/fur/nail colors are reliant on their Elements, and any color that appears on the Skull Construct must have a corresponding Element. This does not restrict the iridescent/effects of said colors however, as well as the varying shades of the given Element- for example, a dark grey and a light grey can both be used if the corresponding Element is Ash
Paw Pads, Flesh/Gel, and Blood is reliant on the color of their Sigil, which is 1-2 of any colors
All Skull Constructs have magick and powers, however, some have rarer and more powerful talents than others
Skull Construct’s head object must stay recognizable as the chosen species/plant, and fantasy/original species skulls are 100% allowed! However, if it's a closed species, I'll ask that you get approval from the owner of the closed species before using its skull c:
Body types vary wildly, between 5-9 foot tall individuals, 100-1000 lbs; Constructs do require food and will eat whatever their head ate in life (a wolf skull would eat meat, a deer skull would eat salads)
A contrasting color/magick typically colors the hands/feet/end of tail, but can reach up to the torso; these markings MUST appear on your Construct!
Typically leathery skinned or covered in velvety, short fur; But shaggy/fluffy Skull Constructs exist
They can have hair like normal humans
“Feral” Constructs are young Constructs (under 5 y.o or haven't completed their contract- Constructs cannot reproduce sexually) and have yet to gain sentience; Older Constructs pity the freshly summoned and feel motivated to help them gain self peace
Construct wounds bleed, but their scars are more reminiscent of cracked stone filled with their precious metal/stone, more like kintsugi than a flesh and blood scar
Skin is tough and hard to penetrate; some older Constructs have such hard skin it will crack like slate instead of tear
Skull Constructs can choose their sex upon reaching sentience, but have a hard time grasping gender
Skull Construct magick and powers are always visible when used; the Sigil will glow brightly and the magick's form will appear somewhere on the Construct
Skull Constructs insides can range from completely flesh, blood, and guts like a mortal creature to completely filled with a dense, translucent jelly-like substance

Shapeshifting is a skill all Constructs have, and the transformed parts will always stay the same color of the Element chosen

You can mix and match Common/Unusual traits! However, the limit on Unusual Traits is 5 per Construct, and if interested in a Rare/Monstrous trait, contact me!

The Element section is not the complete list, these are just examples of what you can use! If you're unsure of an Element rarity, shoot me a message and I'll be happy to let you know c:

MATURE CONSTRUCTS HAVE GENITALS, ANY SHAPE/KIND. GO NUTS.

FAQ

I made one! Can I tag you?
Absolutely! I really want to see what ya'll make from this!

Can I make adopts?
Yes! I do ask that you send me your prospective sales for now, however, so if anything's off I can let you know beforehand

I want a Rare/Monstrous trait!
Great! These are traits that you have to pay for individually- 10$ for a Rare trait and $25 for a Monstrous trait. You then own the trait and can apply it for all the current/future Constructs you may make. I do ask that you sell the Construct for at least the price of the trait(s) though, and that the new owner of the Construct knows that they do not have the rights to the specific trait(s)

What in the world does the human sacrifice/sacrificial body look like??
Ok so you know John Carpenter's The Thing- 💦
There's a reason Constructs aren't summoned using those very often, and that reason being is that those Constructs are fucking terrifying and hard to control.

Besides diet, does the skull/head influence anything about the body?
Not really; If it's a decapitated head, then it can influence/add a color, but you have to pick a color and stick to it; rainbow hair does not mean a rainbow body!

Do the Add Ons have any specific form/type? For example, do the tongues have to be forked, or the wings a certain size and type?
Nope! Feel free to make it as wild/wacky as you want!

What's the deal with Neck traits?
The neck for a Construct is an important body part! It represents the connection of the spiritual head to their physical body, and the prettier their neck is, the higher their attractiveness is among other Constructs. Constructs with well maintained manes/wings are seen as very attractive, rarely adorning necklaces or collars to show off their natural attributes. No neck/Vertebrate necked Constructs got the short straw, and will often wear scarves or even a burqa-like covering to hide their necks. However, the magick holding their heads up applies like a neck, so floating collars and necklaces are 100% allowed!

Can I make a feral Construct?
Unfortunately no; Feral Constructs are a closed subspecies for now, so any/all Constructs must have anthropomorphic proportions until further notice

How do powers work?
Like superhero powers! Constructs, after reaching maturity, focus their magick to one or two of the talents shown above. As they get older, they learn the ins and outs of using their powers, from party tricks to desperate situations

How do I make a Sigil?
I use this website: sigilscribe.me/ , just type in your word/sentence of choice for a Sigil

Can I use the free Add Ons/Magick/Shapeshifting to make a Rare/Monstrous trait? 030
Ahh, loopholes. Don't be an asshat, just let me know what you want for your Construct and I'll let you know what you can do to get there/allowances I can make

Can I be a Guest Artist?
YESYESYES. MESSAGE ME.

How smart are they?
Human-like intelligence when fully matured

How are they made?
They're summoned via a personal ritual! They're typically used for revenge/assassination/personal gain for the summoner, but when the "contract" is complete, they usually possess the summoner (or sometimes their victims) and take their place on the mortal plane. The possessed summoners/victims are thrown into the nearest portal- a mirror, a pond, anything with a reflective surface- and undergo metamorphosis inside the spirit world for the Construct's new, mature body

Can Constructs be friends/connected to their summoner?
Depends. If the Construct found another suitable mortal soul to take it's place on the physical plane that isn't the summoner, they'res a slight chance they might find each other after the end of the contract and feel friendly towards each other. Trying to FORCE a Construct to stay around by binding them to yourself is a certain way to get yourself killed; The spirit inside the Construct wants nothing more than it's freedom on the physical plane, and will kill anyone it can. In the few rare cases where the binding contract was airtight and the resulting Construct was enslaved, it grows monstrous and cannibalistic in it's hate, feeding off of its own misery and fury in the years of bondage, causing violent and painful mutations of traits

How do you kill a Construct?
It's a hard task. To banish the Construct's spirit out of it's body, first you have to remove it's head and precious item from it's body- it's technical "heart". This is incredibly difficult given the Construct will fight you with everything it's got, and can move the precious item around in it's body, making it hard to find. Once you've decapitated and pulled out the item from it's carcass, these both need to be washed in holy water, blessed, and bound to a mirror without ever letting the two items touch- elsewise it will reanimate and you have to subdue it again. Once bound to the mirror, the three items must be cast into a still pool or lake. The spirit within the skull and item will be forced into the mirror, and therefore back into the spirit world.

Can Constructs rot?
Not really, but if you have a decapitated head that's been rotting for a while before you use it to create a Construct, then that rot is going to show on the finished Construct somehow

Are there any limits on colors? What about markings?
Nope! As long as the color has a corresponding Element, you're free to use whatever colors on the skin/fur/skull/claws etc. The only thing that needs to be color coordinated is the paw pads, insides, and fleshy bits (including eyes/tongue) of the construct have to be the same color(s) of the Sigil c: As for markings, beyond the one contrasting color on the hands/feet/end of tail, feel free to go ham :0

I want to use water/diamond, what color would it be?
It would have to be tinted with a color and semi-opaque; Completely clear/glassy would be a paid trait c:

I WANT ALL OF IT. ALL TRAITS. HOW MUCH.
IUNNO YET but if you send me a DM we can work something out for unlimited access

I thought of a cool trait but I don't see it on the trait sheet OR the spread sheet, what can I do to get it approved?
Send me a message with your idea/concept drawing, if I can really get jiggy with it I'll add it to the official spreadsheet and you'll get an automatic ownership of that trait :3c

Can they breed/make hybrids?
While mature Constructs possess all the proper... tools... to get down n dirty, they don't possess the ability to breed; the only way to get new Constructs is to summon them

Do female Constructs have boobs?
Wonderful question. Yes, they (this includes a Construct of any gender) can possess a breast like shape on their chests, but it's entirely for aesthetics, they're non-functional and don't have nipples

I have a question but I don't see it on the FAQ!
