subtypes
Hoodlums (Necrobie subtype)
Hoodlum
Hoodlums are a subspecies of Necrobies which deals with wanting to be different from who you are. They have 2 forms; form 1 is their "birth" form, while form 2 is the form they take when their hood comes up and their mask comes on. Hoodlums are often unsatisfied with who they are; this can be a positive, negative, or neutral issue that drives the Bie to want to change on birth, or to reject their 'base' emotion. Hoodlums used to be seen as a negative group, but positive Hoodlums have recently appeared, proving that desires for change and growth can be positively inspired, too.
Hoodlums come with specific traits such as:
- A Jacket, though this jacket may be a hoodie or a poncho or any sort of jacket/overcoat. It must have some type of arm coverage and a zipper in the middle around the opening.
- Hoodlums come with a Decorated Cotton insides or Cotton + 1 object. There are no exceptions for standard Common-Mythic Hoodlums.
- Hoodlums have a mask that is attatched to their hood and when they are not wearing it, it basically vanishes until it is put on. The mask may be full or partial face-covering, but they must have a mask of some kind.
- Hoodlums have 2 forms. The Hood down which is the normal form, with the jacket sleeves rolled up and their face showing. The second form is the "Hood up" form. The magic allows the bie to change some of their traits. For instance with the hood down the Bie may have normal paws, and when the hood is put on the arms may change to Monster arms. However inside traits, face traits, and the jacket prints do not change. Neither does plush patterns, though colors may darken/lighten (i.e. dark red to lighter red, but not dark red to dark green).
Glowbies (Necrobie subtype)
Glowbie
Glowbies are based off of childrens toys with night lights; it could be as innocent as a baby's soothing glow plush, or something more sinister like a teddy with a camera inside of it. It's up to you how you want to write your Glowbie, but they are special as some of their normal traits are locked in as mythic. Like their Hoodlum counter part, they come with a coat attatched to their body, but unlike hoodlums their sleeves do not change and they do not have a second form.
Glowbies come with some specific traits such as:
- A "dome" shaped opening that is Oval normally; to make it another shape you need to use a trait. Their opening is also enclosed and has floating and glowing things in the center. The glowing objects can be anything and the background behind the bie itself is often a space pattern or texture.
- Full glass legs with glowing objects inside of them. The legs can be empty, but they glow regardless of what they are filled with.
- Glowbies fingers are not like the normal Necrobie paws but their fingers look like tied pillow corners or like glass fingers.
- They have a pillow case and pillow for a tail, though the pillow shape can change, or a glass tail. They have normal necrobie ears, regardless of what their tail is shaped like.
- A glowbie is often times adorned with other decorations but first and foremost they glow!
Necrobeast (Necrobie subtype)
Necrobeast
A subspecies that tends to appear more around the spooky time of year, NECROBEASTS are Bies that reflect a more animalistic nature. Necrobeasts start off as a cuddlebug, the pet of the Necrobies! With a strong emotional connection or feeling from a Necrobie themselves, they transform into a Necrobeast!
This is the ONLY way a Necrobie can "create" another Bie without help from the KnitWit or the Stitchwitches.
Their Bug form, called Beastbugs, are larger than regular cuddlebugs, with more truly animalistic legs and features. Their Beastbie form is very beastly compared to others, with bigger bodies and more muscular builds. These bie's tend to have strong personalities, though they can vary just as much as other Bies can - they feel their emotions strongly, and reflect them just as strongly. They as a whole are very protective of those they hold dear. To become friends with a BeastBie is to make a true, lifelong friend.
Necrobeast have their own unique traits, reflecting their start as Cuddlebugs! Every Beastbie has fluff or fur material in their ears and around their collar, though this fluff and fur can change to reflect other materials (such as bubbles on fish, leaves on plants, etc. They all also have a half-zipped opening attached to their croptop coats!
Necrogeist (Necrobie subtype)
Necrogeist
Necrogeists are Necrobies that are born... different. These Bies are born of the magic of emotions that fills the world affecting dolls or toys that are already possessed by a lost soul of some kind. Necrogeists are the only Necrobie of any kind that can be haunted.
Necrogeists are essentially souls that have been encapsulated inside a Necrobie body due to the magic of emotion striking the item they already possessed. This is represented by chains or cuffs of any kind keeping the soul trapped in, as well as with a opening that's naturally cracked-shaped with strange .
Necrogeists are filled with an ecto-filling. Slime, fire or smoke material can make up the Ecto Filling of a Necrogeist; this filling can hold 1 item as well, the example on the sheet being eyeballs. Ecto Filling must match through all of the Necrogeist. This ecto filling is located in the neck, arms, and insides.
Mimibies (Necrobie subtype)
Mimibies
Mimibies are the beloved babies of the Necrobie dolls! Mimibies are not born, they are made; when a Necrobie wants to have a Mimibie, they reach out to the KnitWit, Courduroi! Corduroi works hard to collect donated stuffing and create the magical kits needed to take stuffing from two or more Necrobies, and magic it together into a Mimibie!
Mimibies are babies. They need a lot of support and help. Think of them from infant-kindergarten ages. They will not wander from a caregiver's side at this stage.
Midibies
If Mimibies are the babies of the Necrobies, Midibies are Children/Teenagers! These forms are more developed, and coming into their personalities! They gain hip joints, are more independent, and may start to adventure away from their parents' sides.
ALL MIMIBIE DESIGNS MUST HAVE BOTH A MIMI AND MIDI DESIGN!
There are banned traits from Mimis/Midis: haloes, cracks, tears. Babies are born by choice with the KnitWit's help, so no purposefully damaged babies will be allowed. Otherwise, any UR/ST trait down can pass from a single parent; two parents must be mythic to pass down a Mythic trait. Legendary traits do not pass down at all.
