Human Domestication Guide

Hot queer domineering plant people! Experts at shapeshifting, biotech, biochem, space travel & combat, and generally most things. Very overpowered. Composed of vines and other plant materials. Functionally age-immortal. Can be killed, though it’s quite hard. Affini in Terran Space are generally named “<Given/Chosen name> , Bloom”, such as “Akash Nele, Third Bloom”. Affini often adapt their names & presentations depending on which species' space they're in. They really want what's best for all the little sophonts of the universe, whether that's bending over backwards for disability accommodations (they'd move the stars themselves if it'd help a single sophont without hurting another) or forcing them into domestication. With longevity comes a lot of baggage and trauma, but also experience and knowledge of how to follow through on all their promises.

Modern Affini exist as a bio-engineered core grown from a plant, the plant itself can be of nearly any species. The core is extremely durable and when reblooming the affini sheds their old damaged biomass and their core reblooms repairing physiological and psychological damage, and then regrowing all new vines! Affini tend to lose all their grafts in the process. It can take anywhere from as little as an hour or two, up to a century to rebloom depending on how extensive the damage is. Make sure to plant them in fertile soil to help the process! From that core, vines, leaves, petals, wood, and other plant material grow out and is usually consistent with the material of the uplifted plant. Their vines can weave to mimic lots of shapes. Their vines are also exceptionally strong thanks to many millennia of development altering their species physiology. Essentially affini are plant-tech cyborg/robots in a weird planty synthesis of tech and biomass. The uplifted plant has no effect on the affini's personality directly, though plenty lean into the vibes of their plants. Sometimes intentionally trying to emulate it, sometimes because of how others perceive them shapes their development. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. As shapeshifters who can graft almost any plant matter onto themselves, their shapes, sizes, and general appearance vary drastically. Very drastically. Beyond being made of plant material, there isn't a limit to how varied they can potentially be, from as small as their core, to as large as a planet! Affini usually have antennae, often fluffy, sometimes wooden like horns, they allow affini to smell things, and very well at that. Affini are exceptional multitaskers. Capable of coordinating hundreds of vines and preforming tasks that could take a terran hours, in minutes. Though most of their intelligence comes from having hundreds, or thousands, and even tens of thousands of years to master their crafts and sciences, along with receiving the best educations in the cosmos.
