Painkiller _ Objectified

Objects are a species of different living items with or without faces and limbs. They are commonly seen used in object shows. In Objectified, they are given more human-like characteristics, such as blood and bones, and are categorized into two different sub-species, bestial and hominid. Hominid objects usually have humanoid limbs, and don't really have anything quite special added to them at all. Usually not having any special features to them. Bestial objects are just objects with animal features. They can share the behavior, diet and more depending on the animal that they are. They can also have added features such as a tail, ears and more. Usually a bestial object will have an animal based on the environment that they live in. This can only change when a bestial is respawned in a different environment though. A faux object is an object descended from the Lawless King Faux. Faux objects have large red eyes with large black pupils, with special natural gifts which decrease in power depending on their ancestral distance from Faux. The known faux objects are Faux, of course, Bodypillow, Sticker Sheet, Babs, Mushroom, her mother, and an unnamed scientist. Bodypillow's natural gift is his ability to hide his true, more avian form, Sticker Sheet's is his ability to hide his eyes, and Mushroom's may be her ability to respawn naturally. Objects don't have heads or anything else, they only have faces, arms, shoulders and legs. Objects' faces can move all over the body except the back. Objects that don't have arms use their legs as arms. In this world there are only living objects, no people. Some objects do not have arms or legs, this is considered the norm for everyone. Objects no have hair. Objects do not wear clothes, etc. Objects have properties of the object they are (e.g. glass is fragile, paper is easy to blow away, etc.). Objects have a different type of reproductive system, in the groin area of ​​males there is a slit in which tentacles are stored, an analogue of a penis, which performs the same functions, in women everything is the same as in humans. Most of the temporary tentacles are hidden inside, and even when excited, it must be pulled out with your hands or you need to control your body well to pull it out. The slit is not visible all the time, it opens only when you want to own it

A respawn terminal is a machine that is used to spawn new objects. Respawn terminals are also able to 'respawn' dead objects, a trope that is very common in object shows. However, it's explained in the comic that cheating death is a luxury reserved only to the wealthy. Respawn terminals function by using cells grown in bio-reactors to print objects, using signals to detect the life status of the given object before reprinting them and collecting information about them using the off-signals they emit to reconstruct their minds and bodies. Respawn terminals attempt to fix anything that may harm or give a disadvantage to a spawned object, healing traumatic wounds. This may include unnecessary healing of scarring, piercings, etc. To spawn objects, terminals use the 'tags' from the parents to create children with machine logic. Tags are basic descriptors that make up the physical attributes of the parents, often describing their colors, utilization, animal (if applicable), texture, material, etc. One tag from each parent is combined and used to create each child. They can also be used to program the child's gender, though this is not a permanent effect.

A spawning stone is a large rock filled with holes that sits next to a small obelisk structure. Spawning stones are only found in wild districts and are used by wild district objects to reproduce. When 2-10 parents touch the obelisk, children will be spawned inside of the holes of the stone to be collected by the parents. It's stated that using a spawning stone is what's considered a natural birth in this universe, while having one through a respawn terminal is considered to be a less natural, but far more prominent, birth.

The major cells are described by Painkiller in the Organspace intermission to be the three major cell groups that make up any object person. All three of these cell groups begin their life cycle as synthetic cells, which then mutate depending on their role in making up the person. These synthetic cells are cultured in bioreactors and used as printing material in spawning terminals.

Plant cells make up the bodies of plant objects.

Animal cells make up the limbs (otherwise known as gateway parts) of objects, regardless of whether they're hominid or bestial.When parasites assimilate objects, they often convert them to animal cells. These cells are also used to build the foundation and structure of parasite hives.

Synthetic cells make up an object's body. They are sometimes referred to as 'RGB cells'. Synthetic cells make up the bodies of parasites.

While not mentioned directly in the Organspace intermission, Mycelium is a rarer genetic cell structure that makes up the object body. Objects with this cell structure repel primitive parasites and are able to have contact with/ingest parasitic flesh. This ability is labeled as a 'natural gift' in the apocalypse guide.

All of the major cell groups can regenerate naturally, allowing characters to recover from injuries both to their limbs and to their object body. However, if an object is damaged enough, it can kill the object. Upon death, the object's limbs and other appendages will begin to rot, but their main body will remain, as long as they're not a food or organic object, and become a husk.

Objects also have souls, their life source. Souls can be a food source for some objects, and appear as wispy blue mist when consumed. If their soul gets eaten, they can't be respawned. Ever.

Terminal errors are programming errors that can affect spawned or respawned objects. "Defect" is a subclass of objects that describes characters who were printed by terminals improperly due to a bug in the terminal's programming, hence the name. Defect objects have a mix of both hominid and bestial limbs. This causes them health issues.

In this world, a parasitic organism is ravaging the Rings. Parasites make their way into the body and then transform the host into a variety of abominations, so far consisting of festering fleshy and insectoid growths. The speed at which objects are assimilated varies, and they vary wildly in appearance. Assimilated objects are hostile/aggressive entities that wander the Rings.Not much is currently known about parasite morphology, though Fossil/Painkiller are currently setting up to study this, according to Painkiller's description on the Cast page. Currently nobody know, where they from

HIVECORE: "A parasitic beacon. The signals help parasites communicate and adapt. They also affect the minds of survivors." ANNEX: "The object has morphed into a stationary injector that is attached to the bed of a hive foundation. The rest of its cells have been converted into a deadly neurotoxin that melts trespassers into animal cell piles." PILAR: "The object has morphed into a cell converting stationary parasite. It absorbs victims of ANNEX into the bed of the hive foundation and produces raw building material." THREESPINES: "STAGE ONE: It reaches and pulls from far away using unnatural disasters. It is upset that it was born." SHROUD: "It picks through hive signals for memories of voices and mimics them. It slowly overtakes large areas scarce of its allies to hinder and hunt stragglers. Its venom melts any cell type and its deadly talents spread to nearby hives."

Outskirts is the space between all regions, which are on the same continent. Currently, it is occupied by Comet and consists primarily of grass and flowers, with no buildings with the exception of train tracks. Due to a lack of life and biodiversity, carnivores traveling through the Outskirts are known to starve.

The Rings are the primary region inhabited by the main cast of world, at least in Book One. The Rings are a temperate region in the northern hemisphere, just above the equator, and the wild district in the area primarily consists of pine tree forests. The region also includes two basic societal districts and a high-class district.

Outer Ring - Outer Ring is the sole wild district in the Rings, and consists of pine tree forests and rivers. The district is the largest district in the Rings, contains many animals and bestial objects, and, as a wild district, functions primarily on order, not law. Of the districts in the Rings, Outer Ring has been affected the least by the parasites. Lawless King - The lawless king of Outer Ring in the Rings is Warhammer. Middle Ring - Middle Ring is a basic societal district, and the least featured district in the Rings. Middle Ring is sparsely populated, though it is much larger than Center Ring, which is an enclave of Middle Ring. Residents of Middle Ring aren't typically accepting of monsters, due to their fear that Outer Ring monsters will hunt them when they can't find food in their wild district. Despite this, Mushroom, Dynamite, and Cattail, all bestial objects, are from here. Center Ring - Center Ring is the most prominently featured district in the Rings, as all but three character groups reside here. Center Ring is a basic societal district with an urban environment, with many densely packed buildings and a large population. Center Ring, due to its population, also has a large population of parasites, and it is the region with the most hivecores. Center Ring is the most diverse district in the Rings, being heavily accepting of bestial objects who choose to integrate into society. High Society - High Society is one of the three high-class districts in the world, alongside Mt. Fortune and Reaching Gardens. It is the smallest district in the Rings, being a subsection of Center Ring, and it is the location where the first parasites spawned (due to the large amount of respawn terminals in the district). It is mainly populated by large houses and buildings, including Carrot's lab and the radio tower featured in Horde, though it is densely populated - forests flow through the district. ID_THREESPINES hangs over this district.

Paradise is a large jungle in the southern hemisphere, which, similarly to The Night in Silent Neverland, houses many aggressive monsters in its wild district. The region's wild district is constantly at war with it's societal districts, which are surrounded by the Wet Wilds.

Wet Wilds - The Wet Wilds are a wild district surrounding Reaching Gardens and the Onyx Marketplace in Paradise. Little is known about this district, but it is known that it is a dangerous jungle and that mysterious special monsters exist in this district, called the "residents of the gemstone hives" by Turtleshell. Lawless King - The lawless king of the Wet Wilds in Paradise is Tigerlily. Onyx Marketplace - The Onyx Marketplace is a basic societal district in Paradise, and, as its name implies, it is primarily characterized by its bustling population of merchants. This district is likely where the residents of the gemstone hives moved to after their queen was defeated in battle by Tigerlily. Reaching Gardens - Reaching Gardens is the high-class district in Paradise, similarly to High Society in the Rings and Mt. Fortune in the Burning Aisles. Reaching Gardens is much smaller than the other two districts in the region, and uniquely has two head scientists. Reaching Gardens is known for its advanced technology, but it has a child abduction problem. Head Scientist - The head scientists in Paradise are Fossil, a main character in Book One, and Push, a main character in Turtleshell's Journal. MYCELIUM: "Naturally repel primitive parasites. Complete immunity to assimilation, taste for parasitic flesh... and so much more." CORDYCEPS: "An aggressive fungal infection that affects only assimilated objects. Transmitted through saliva, it disables a parasite's ability to spread and reproduce, making them safer to touch."

The Burning Aisles are a region with a high-class district, a basic societal district, and, uniquely, two wild districts. Despite having two wild districts, the region has only one lawless king. Little else is known, but it is notable that Dragonscale, Babs, and Ghost Pepper were spawned here. It has been stated that the Burning Aisles would be the most resistant to the parasites, due to the parasites not reacting well to heat.

Mt. Fortune - Mt. Fortune is the high-class district in the Burning Aisles. Head Scientist - Mt. Fortune has a head scientist, but nothing is known about them at this time. The Din Dins - Nothing is known about this basic societal district. Hoarder's Pyre - Hoarder's Pyre is a wild district in the Burning Aisles with a lawless king, situated in a volcano. Lawless King - The lawless king of Hoarder's Pyre and Demon's Diner in the Burning Aisles is Grilldorah. Demon's Diner - Demon's Diner is a wild district in the Burning Aisles which shares a Lawless King with Hoarder's Pyre. Notably, Dragonscale spawned here.

Silent Neverland is a snowy region with a notably large four-sectored wild district and a small basic societal district. The region has a head scientist and a Lawless King, who will be featured in an entry of Turtleshell's Journal releasing with Reach of Ice.

Fort Blanket - Fort Blanket is a small town hidden under the snow in Silent Neverland. Similar to Middle Ring, the district is entirely unfriendly to monster objects, though to a more extreme extent. The only known inhabitant of Fort Blanket is Maple Syrup, who moved there one year before the apocalypse. Head Scientist - The head scientist in Silent Neverland is Frozen Boba. The Night - The Night is made up of four sectors, and is Silent Neverland's wild district. It contains very dangerous monster objects, and it is connected to Fort Blanket by the tunnels in sector two. People who come here tend not to come back Notably, Citrus was born in The Night. Sector 1 - Empty sheet of snow featured in a thumbnail on the map. Sector 2 - A network of ice caves or snow tunnels featured in a thumbnail on the map. Sector 3 - Snow-covered forests encased in snowy arches featured in a thumbnail on the map as well as the aforementioned environment art. Sector 4 - Snow-covered mountains and thick walls of ice in a thumbnail on the map. Lawless King - The lawless king of the Night in Silent Neverland is Morrigan.

Dusty Stacks is a region with a basic societal district and a desert-like wild district, uniquely with a lawless king who functions in the societal district (unlike usual lawless kings who function in wild districts). Dusty Stacks also has multiple myths surrounding it, only one of which has been detailed. Gum was born in Dusty Stacks.

Ankh - Ankh is the basic societal district in Dusty Stacks, and the most prominently featured district. Ankh has been shown to be desert-like in concept art for the district and based on real-life parallels. Lawless King - The lawless king of Ankh in Dusty Stacks is Piper. Head Scientist - The head scientist in Dusty Stacks is Heater. Boiling Flats - The Boiling Flats are the wild district in Dusty Stacks. This region is desert-like, though little else is known since it has only been directly shown in a myth. Lawless King - The former lawless king of Boiling Flats in Dusty Stacks was Pilobolus.

Marshlight Port is a seaside region housing a societal district, a wild district with a Lawless King, and a surplus of sea-life based objects. Various characters are from Marshlight Port, such as Minty, Palm Tree, Painkiller, and Water Wiggler. Candy is stated to be stationed in Marshlight Port. Notably, the sea-life on the ground in Metamorphose are from Marshlight Port.

The Port - The Port is a basic societal district in Marshlight Port, and the primary district in the region. Head Scientist - The Port has a head scientist, but nothing is known about them at this time. Dread Tides - Dread Tides is the wild district of Marshlight Port. Lawless King - Dread Tides has a lawless king, but nothing is known about them at this time.

The Wastey Wastes are surrounded by a nuclear storm, and as such, the region is heavily irradiated and dangerous to live in. Sharps was spawned here.

Grimace - Grimace is the societal district in the Wastey Wastes. It is a dark, grungy city encircled by a nuclear storm inspired by Britain architecturally. The city has many radio towers, and most objects only have each other to eat. Head Scientist - Grimace has a head scientist, but nothing is known about them at this time. The Landfill - The Landfill is the Wastey Wastes' wild district. The region is heavily irradiated, and is made up entirely of object husks. Like Grimace, it is affected by an ongoing nuclear storm.
