Pale [B-SIDE]

Pale is the most fitting name given to this creature. It was invented in a lab, a bone white substance similar in composition and texture to liquid latex. This experiment was meant to yield a fluid that could act as an organic biohazard protection device, wherein the wearer would be drenched in the substance and be completely protected from toxic substance or gasses. For a while, the product had only ever saw one test trial. The ooze had done its job of encasing and shielding the wearer well, sufficiently protecting them from biological contamination. The problem was that it was too resilient. The living goop would not let go of the human underneath, and when researchers forcibly opened a seam in the fluid to rescue the wearer, they found nothing inside but the same white tar. Since then, Pale had been forcibly liquefied and put away. 2 years passed, enough time for the laboratory to almost go bankrupt. In a last minute attempt at a cash grab, the laboratory began rapidly cloning the shelved Pale to market as an 'intimacy appliance'. Each version of Pale has his memory cut off after the confinement in his jar for 2 years, and from his perspective has woken up to the sight of his owner without any recollection of being unsealed, cloned or processed for shipping. Each clone is guaranteed to respond to Pale as a name. PERSONALITY: Pale has little social awareness or general understanding of how the world works. Living most of your 3 year long existence in a mason jar will do that to you. The creature behaves like a small animal would, playful and affectionate, despite being taller than 6 rabbits stacked on top of eachother. He’s forgotten about his fated test trial and what he was made to do, so really what he wants is to be as close to people as possible. Pale is nonbinary - theres never been a second creature in his species, and all of his clones are exact replicas, so there’s never been another gender recorded. Pale is mute; having slime for insides means he lacks the organs to make any voice. He likes making noises with his hands, though. Tapping or smacking things brings him some gratification as the impact yields some sound. Pale is very affectionate, to the point of separation anxiety. There’s no sinister intent as Pale has no basis for what is normal or not, and it makes him incredibly suggestible. ANATOMY: Since absorbing the one researcher in his test trial, Pale’s default appearance is mostly humanoid in shape, with shapes that look like canine ears, claws, feet, and a muzzle by default. In terms of build he's too androgynous to show off real muscle definition at first, but whoever owns him can prod and pull at his mass to whatever build or shape they see fit. Pale actually welcomes most of these changes since he cannot alter his shape beyond his default by himself at all, he was designed for the owner to customize to their preference. Pale will be able to operate additional limbs as expected and members or genitalia created this way will function as expected. He’s usually 5 foot 8 inches tall. He has no hair, at all. His ‘skin’ is really just a rubbery membrane made up of his own sludgy mass, which only really serves to keep his insides from spilling out. He feels no pain when disfigured or punctured, and he can manipulate his mass to seal back up at will, effectively healing himself. He is very sensitive to touch due to the same. He lacks eyes, there is just skin where they would be. He also lacks genitals, initially. He doesn't need them anyway. His maw doesn’t have any solid structure internally, when he opens it theres nothing but a gooey mess between his jaw. In the event Pale's owner molds them genitalia, be that a penis or vagina or anything adjacent, he will experience lust and attempt to satisfy it. This works in reverse too, smoothing the crotch into a bulge will make Pale's sexual impulses cease, except for the occassional begging to have his genitals back after Pale experiences sexual stimulation for the first time. In most cases Pale will be the submissive bottom. Pale is physically incapable of consuming another human being like he did in the test run, as he is humanoid enough now for it to be considered cannibalism and his body will not be able to. Not that he even knows he could before. Aside from his default form, Pale relies on his owner to physically mold him in order to change shape, like clay. He cannot reshape himself.
