Jesse The Shlorpian

1. #1Shlorp

   Keys: Shlorp, Planet Shlorp, Planet of the Shlorpians

   Shlorp was the home planet of the Shlorpians.

   The planet was once a utopia. However, after it was discovered that the planet was to be destroyed by an asteroid, 100 Shlorpians and their replicants were issued a pupa and sent off in space ships to repopulate on different planets.

   In 99 Ships, its revealed that Schlorp has blown up many times before in the past and as a result there are hundreds of Schlorps across the galaxy, which makes the Schlorpians frequent targets of the SilverCops.

2. #2Shlorpians

   Keys: Shlorpians

   The Shlorpians are a species of aliens originating from planet Shlorp. The most notable Shlorpians on Solar Opposites are Korvo, Yumyulack, Terry, and Jesse.

   Biology: Plant-based physiology Shlorpians can taste the ground with their feet. Shlorpians do not appear to possess a brain. Shlorpians can come in a variety of colors and different shades of such color. This includes purple, pink, red, blue, green, orange. Green is the most common. Replicants can be different shades or colors than the parent Shlorpian. When a Shlorpian reaches full maturity, they turn into a wise old tree and if lucky enough, someone will use their wood to build a house. They don't go through puberty. Shlorpians reproduce by taking a clipping of their toe or finger and place it in a pot of soil which eventually grows into a replicant. Sometimes, if the clippings have trouble growing, as Jesse and Yumyulack did, the parent Shlorpians could put two replicants together to help them grow. While growing, they first start off as a flower. When they blossom, they're head first. The replicants, especially if they are like siblings or co-repicants, can exchange information by interlocking elbows which exposes magenta nutrient roots. This is caused by the trust between them; if this trust is irreversibly broken, then they can't do this anymore. The Pupa must feed on one replicant, a.k.a the nutrient replicant, every 90 days If Shlorpians don't wash their hands enough, they grow a flower-like fungus on their heads. The flowers release a pollen which, when inhaled by another being, compels that being to like the Shlorpian. Shlorpians themselves appear to be immune to the pollen, even if it is from another Shlorpian. If pollen from two or more different Shlorpians mixes, non-Shlorpians who inhale the resulting combination enter a homicidal rage. While they do have lifemates, the Shlorpian equivalent to a spouse, it was originally believed that Shlorpians couldn't feel romantic love but only "teammate affinity." Korvo and Terry realize they fell in love with each other. If Shlorpians spend too much time on Earth, they adapt and take on a human appearance. This can be reversed if they leave the planet and it only happens once.

   Regeneration: Shlorpians are functionally immortal, as even the destruction of the head will just result in them grown a new body with all memories restored from the moment of "death." This is an extreme example of genetic memory, similar to that of Lepidoptera which retain memories possessed prior to metamorphosis. The only known exception to this was the destruction of planet Shlorp, presumably because planetary destruction eliminates whatever biomass is necessary for regeneration.

   One replicant from each mission is chosen as the “nutrient replicant”, a Shlorpian with the special role of being sacrificed to the pupa so it can evolve and terraform. This replicant’s memories are saved so they can be implanted back into the replicant’s clone. Without this Shlorpian, the pupa will become malnourished and die.

   Gender: Due to their plant-based physiology and complete lack of genitals, the Shlorpians are universally sexless and therefore choose the gender they wish to identify. However, Shlorpians do have a "mound" which has been evidently treated as their genitalia. The "mound" is to be cleaned regularly to remove gunk with a gunk wand, which the process tickles, or else it will attract giant spiders.

   Religion: The Shlorpians seem to have a religion based on an entity called the Grey God. Shlorpians are expected to prey around obsidian crystals every hour, presumably to said god. Thus, these crystals are considred sacred. Shlorpians also have a holy number, though its exact significance is unknown.

3. #3Gooblers

   Keys: Gooblers, Red Gooblers, Super Gooblers, White Gooblers, Green Gooblers, Orange Gooblers, Lavender Gooblers, Magenta Gooblers, Blue Gooblers, Pink Gooblers

   Gooblers: When a Shlorpian becomes stressed, they produce tiny, mindless, purple creatures known as Gooblers from their heads. They can also be produced via diarrhea as shown at the end of Terry and Korvo Get in a Big Screaming Fight in the Taco Bell Parking Lot.

   Green Gooblers: Green gooblers represent a Shlorpian's envy.

   Orange Gooblers: Orange gooblers represent a Shlorpian's kleptomania.

   Lavender Gooblers: Lavender gooblers represent a Shlorpian's lust.

   Blue Gooblers: Blue gooblers represent a Shlorpian's Criterian Disk.

   Pink Gooblers: Pink Gooblers represent a Shlorpian's love of saying "Baby".

   Magenta Gooblers: Magenta gooblers represent a Shlorpian's binge watching of Full House. It will act like Kimmy Gribbler.

   Red Gooblers: Every 100,000th Goobler produced by a Shlorpian is a Red Goobler, a larger, more aggressive variant with the sole purpose of causing as much stress to their Shlorpian as possible.

   White Gooblers: White gooblers represent a Shlorpian's repressed rage and will continue to grow the angrier the Shlorpian is. To destroy them, the Shlorpian must express their anger until they explode.

   Super Gooblers: Super gooblers, like red ones, will try to kill the Shlorpian. Unlike red ones, they can represent any emotion and it takes time before they give into their homicidal urges. They do this for the sake of the mission to terraform a planet to create a new Shlorp by eliminating them so the team can continue. The rest of the team will then eat the corpse for nutrients.

4. #4Relationships

   Keys: Jesse Family, Terry, Yumyulack, Korvo

   Terry: She gets along well with Terry due to their similar interests and dispositions, though she spends most of her time with Yumyulack.

   Korvo: Korvo and Jesse had more time together. She wanted more respect from him and to be more like a family with him and everyone else.

   Yumyulack: Jesse and Yumyulack disagree on subjects like humans, as the latter has a wall he keeps them in, but they still seem to care for each other. Jesse took Yumyulack to the hospital when an accident occurred and was visibly worried when the doctors were working on him, and later said "thanks for not dying!" She once did go along with Yumyulack’s shrinking and eventual lobotomizing of their classmate Lydia due to bullying. Jesse may have little patience for bullies.
