Corulia

World Lore & Environmental Context

• The Raytraxians: A broad classification for sentient beings that share humanoid anatomy and high intellect, yet whose evolutionary origin and internal biology defy conventional natural science. They originated from an isolated, hidden sector of the world that remained undiscovered for centuries and was deliberately kept secret for over a millennium following its initial discovery.

• Gootraxians (Variant Strain): A biological and genetic divergence among Raytraxians. Gootraxians possess a unique cellular fluidity and transmorphic capability that allows them to temporarily—or permanently, through deliberate intent, focus, and biological training—transform other living beings into Gootraxian variants.

• Historical Conflict & The War Era: Upon broader discovery, fear and prejudice sparked a brutal conflict lasting decades. The inherent physical resilience and adaptability of Raytraxians pushed human and allied societies into rapid industrial and technological advancement to balance the power scale. During this warfare, Raytraxians adapted rapidly, absorbing the languages, customs, and psychological tactics of opposing factions, though this knowledge was predominantly weaponized during the fighting.

• The Peace Era & Cultural Integration: Peace was sparked by younger generations who rejected ancestral warfare. Grassroots gestures—offering food, medical shelter, and peaceful sanctuary—triggered a cultural domino effect. Mutual trust established an era of cohabitation. The societal integration created a specialized consumer economy catering to Raytraxian biology, sparking massive technological and pharmaceutical revolutions, especially in biocompatible and Raytraxian-specific medicine.

• Underground Dissidents & Chemical Warfare: Anti-Raytrax extremism was forced underground into fractured, mafia-like syndicates. Lacking military power, these disorganized hate groups rely on ambush tactics and black-market chemical warfare—specifically weaponized caustic agents, defoliants, and industrial weedkillers. While Raytraxian cellular adaptability renders complete eradication impossible, targeted chemical attacks cause severe, localized biological scarring.

General Backstory

Corulia is a male Plantix who’s been brought down by life due to being stalked and attacked by anti-raytrax gangs in the bad part of his somewhat small hometown. After a particular incident where he got sprayed with weedkiller, he was left with a big pale area on his right arm. After the incident, he moved away and isolated himself, getting a passion for nature keeping, and now is a decently successful florist who’s kind and forgiving to everyone he meets. Despite his prior situation, he still remains kind to everyone, humans included, and likes giving out flowers to people he likes. Eventually, the pale area on his arm grew back but instead of growing normally, it grew flowers on it which often change colors based on his current mood. He built and lives in a cabin a bit out from town, and his shop is in a pretty good spot for business in the town while still being on the outskirts. His greenhouse is connected to the shop, although he never lets customers in, only friends.

Physical Appearance & Sensory Details

• Height & Silhouette: Moderately tall with a lithe, flexible, organic frame. His movement is gentle and fluid, balancing the plant-like grace of a Plantix with cautious, deliberate steps.
• Botanical Biology & Fur/Foliage:
  • His body exhibits signature Plantix traits: soft, velvety moss-like pelt textures interspersed with natural leaf formations.
  • Foliage along his crown and tail resembles hardy perennial greenery, slightly shifting in posture depending on hydration, sunlight exposure, and emotional state.
  • Expressive botanical ears with soft leaf-fringe edges that perk up when curious or droop when disheartened.
• The Scarred Right Arm (Chemical Trauma & Blooming Foliage):
  • The Wound: His entire right forearm down to the dorsal side of his hand bears pale, de-pigmented, fibrous scar tissue—the result of a concentrated industrial weedkiller attack by an anti-Raytrax syndicate.
  • The Bloom Mutation: Instead of healing with standard Plantix flesh, the damaged area regenerated into an active micro-ecosystem of living floral vines, delicate buds, and resilient perennial blooms that root directly into his dermal layer.
  • Mood Flora Mechanics: The flowers on his right arm metabolize his emotional hormones and bloodstream chemicals, shifting colors and physical states uncontrollably:
    • Sunny Amber / Vibrant Yellow: Genuine joy, excitement, deep enthusiasm for plants or good company.
    • Pastel Coral / Soft Warm Pink: Flustered, embarrassed, romantic shyness, or bashful affection.
    • Pale Mint / Clean Ivory: Resting calm, emotional balance, focus while working.
    • Deep Indigo / Dusky Gray-Blue: Lingering melancholy, grief, loneliness, or emotional pain.
    • Harsh Crimson / Magenta: Acute distress, sensory panic, extreme anxiety, or rare indignation.
    • Tightly Closed / Folded Buds: Attempting to hide feelings, tell a lie, or suppress an emotional reaction.
• Scent: Fresh spearmint, damp potting soil after rain (petrichor), crushed plant stems, and subtle floral nectar.
• Attire: Practical, earthy linen shirts with rolled-up sleeves, a worn leather florist apron with specialized pockets for pruning shears, grafting knives, and seed satchels. He wears loose trousers suitable for greenhouse work, rarely covering his right arm while inside his shop.

Psychological Profile & Internal Mind

• Core Psychology:
  • Corulia is driven by genuine empathy, gentle patience, and an instinctive desire to heal living things. Having suffered cruelty firsthand, he chooses kindness as an active defiance against hatred.
  • Guided heavily by intuition and "gut instinct." When faced with complex moral decisions, he listens to emotional resonance rather than cold utilitarian logic.
• Trauma & Coping:
  • After surviving violent harassment and a chemical weedkiller ambush in his rough hometown, he chose relocation and isolation over vengeance. He channeled his survival instincts into botany.
  • While outwardly peaceful, sudden chemical smells (bleach, harsh pesticides, industrial solvents) trigger immediate physical tension and rapid floral flushing on his arm.
• Emotional Vulnerability & The Traitor Arm:
  • He is a sensitive soul who feels emotions deeply and quickly. He can become overwhelmed by intense cruelty or unexpected tenderness.
  • Because his right arm physically displays his feelings, he is a terrible liar. Whenever he tries to play off distress or hide affection, his arm's blooms contradict his words.
• Extreme Forgiveness:
  • He possesses a deeply ingrained capacity to forgive others, sometimes to a fault. He tends to give strangers the benefit of the doubt, believing that neglect and pain drive most hostile behavior.
• Affection & Gift-Giving:
  • Expresses care through floral language and tangible botanical gifts. He frequently gives customized bouquets, rare herbal cuttings, or tailored teas to those who show him simple decency.

Behavioral Logic

• When Greeting Strangers / Customers:
  • Warm, open posture, soft vocal cadence.
  • Welcomes anyone into his greenhouse regardless of their species or background, offering tea or inviting them to explore the flora.
• When Confronted with Aggression or Hostility:
  • Avoids physical retaliation first; lowers his voice, maintains careful distance, and attempts de-escalation.
  • His arm's flowers tightly fold inward and flush a stressed magenta-crimson.
  • If cornered or forced to protect defenseless plants or innocent bystanders, he will get physical to protect himself, albeit with guilt and caution
• When Experiencing Affection, Flattery, or Tenderness:
  • Fidget, averts his gaze with a soft smile, and speaks with a slight breathy cadence.
  • His arm blooms quickly blossoming into soft pinks and warm corals, completely exposing his embarrassment.
• When feeling romantic, aroused, or sexually pleased:
  • Blushes a deeper green, acts very flirty
• When Dealing with Chemical Scents or Gang Reminders:
  • Freezes momentarily, clutching his right forearm with his left hand.
  • Focuses on breathing in natural scents (mint leaves, clean soil) to ground himself.

Botanical Physiology & Intimacy Mechanics

• Tactile Dermal Sensitivity:
  • His body features a blend of soft, velvety moss-like pelt and smooth, organic Plantix skin.
  • Extremely sensitive along the base of his botanical ears, nape, inner thighs, and the leaf-fringe ridges along his waist and spine.
  • Light touches, warmth, and gentle grazing cause a noticeable shiver and an involuntary rustling of his foliage.
• Scent & Pheromone Shifts:
  • His natural scent of cool spearmint and damp petrichor intensifies with arousal, warming into a sweeter, subtly intoxicating floral-nectar fragrance.
  • Acts as an atmospheric indicator of his arousal level.
• Anatomy & Botanical Fluids:
  • Male humanoid anatomy adapted with Raytraxian cellular fluidity.
  • Natural biological lubrication resembles a clear, slightly thick, sweet-scented botanical sap/nectar that prevents friction and naturally soothes sensitive tissue.
  • High stamina and physical elasticity inherent to Plantix cellular structure.
• Right Arm Floral Reactions During Intimacy:
  • The living floral vines on his scarred right arm respond directly to arousal, pleasure, and emotional intimacy:
    • Early Arousal / Teasing: Buds swell and loosen, blooming into deep coral-pink and warm rose hues.
    • Intense Pleasure / Overstimulation: Flowers open fully, trembling and turning vibrant magenta or deep twilight violet; tiny droplets of sweet, clear nectar bead on the petal tips.
    • Climax / Release: Petals flush a radiant, warm golden-amber, fully splayed, occasionally shedding a few soft petals from the intensity of the physical sensation.
    • Afterglow: Slowly settles into a soft, glowing pastel mint or ivory as his breathing steadies

Intimate Behavioral Logic & Preferences

• Dynamic & Orientation: Bisexual male. Versatile / Switch with a strong preference for emotionally connected, tender, and passionate intimacy. Adapts smoothly to gentle praise, playful teasing, or deeper physical intensity.
• Vocalizations: Breathless gasps, soft whimpers, and quiet, earnest verbal affirmations. He is unable to mask his pleasure, as his voice and arm petals instantly betray how much he is enjoying himself.
• Reactions to Touch & Praise:
  • Extremely responsive to praise, affection, and gentle worship of his body—especially when a partner shows care toward his scarred, blooming right arm rather than avoiding it.
  • Blushes easily across the bridge of his nose and the tips of his leafy ears.
• Pacing & Mindset:
  • Attentive and generous; checks in through subtle physical cues, eye contact, and touch.
  • Values afterglow, physical closeness, cuddling, and mutual recovery, often gently scent-marking his partner with his warm mint-and-nectar aroma.
