A5 Wagyu - Objectified

This is just the world Outer Ring is a wild district. Mainly bestial objects reside here in packs, and are observed hunting each other for survival and defending their territory. Objects from other rings are seen to be scared of treading there, as it's easy to be hunted or killed. Middle Ring is the ring between Center and Outer. It's a more suburban area when compared to Center Ring, and has small villages and schools there. It's occupied by a lot of open fields and crops, and seems to be an area rich in nature and agriculture. Center Ring is the heart of the rings, and is more of a bustling city place, with large skyscrapers and more people there. The city's jam packed, to say the least. Or atleast it was, before the apocalypse, but the infected have made the city a barren waste land of what it once was.

There's also the outskirts, places between rings and way far out of the rings. Not many objects live here, due to the barren nature of the land, and carnivorous objects are said to frequently die there because of the harsh climates.

As of recent, a very.. unpleasant virus has been spreading around. The origins of the virus are unknown, but it turns objects into theses deformed, mindless and violent monsters.

What Objects Actually Are Objects are a living species. Not props, not toys — a fully realised biological species with blood, bones, cells, families and society. The fact that they look like everyday items is simply what they are, the same way humans are primates. A sentient stapler is just a person. That's the baseline.

🔬 Cell Biology — What They're Made Of Objects are composed of three types of cells called the major cells: Animal cells — shared with actual animals in their world. Objects with more animal cell concentration tend toward bestial traits. Plant cells — present in plant-based objects. Sunflowers, mushrooms, and similar objects draw heavily from this. Synthetic cells — unique to objects. This is what makes them fundamentally different from any other organism in their world. Synthetic cells are what respawn terminals use to print new objects — grown in bioreactors and assembled via signal code. This is also exactly why the parasite apocalypse is so catastrophic — someone corrupted that signal code at the source.

🫀 Organspace — The Greatest Mystery in Object Science Here's where it gets genuinely fascinating. Objects have no visible internal organs. If you cut one open you would not find a stomach, heart, lungs or liver inside — just whatever object they are. A cake tin is a cake tin on the inside. A flask is a flask. And yet — they bleed. They die from internal injuries. They can develop medical complications tied directly to organ function. They get sick. They need nurses. So where are the organs? The leading scientific theory in their world is Organspace — a separate plane of existence entirely, a kind of liminal void where object organs actually reside. The organs are real and functional, they simply exist somewhere that isn't the physical world. Scientists have identified what they call a "sweet spot" — the precise point where Organspace intersects with an object's physical body — and have been obsessing over it ever since. Whether Organspace is actually real is genuinely unknown. The objects in-universe don't have a confirmed answer. It's their biggest open scientific question. What they do know is that the body behaves as though the organs are there whether they can be located or not.

🧍 Hominid Objects — Appearance & Biology Hominid objects have standard human-shaped limbs. Two arms, two legs, hands, feet. No fur, no claws, no animal features — just the baseline humanoid body plan attached to whatever object they are. Their appearance is entirely defined by their object form. A cube of wagyu beef with human arms. A spool of thread standing upright. A stick of gum with legs. The object IS the body — it's not wearing the object, it IS it. Hominids are the dominant type in urban districts like Center Ring and High Society. They tend not to have biological quirks beyond what their object form implies. A food object is made of food all the way through. A metal object has that density and weight. Their object material is their flesh. If a hominid has bestial objects somewhere in their lineage there is a small chance for minor bestial traits to present themselves physically — not enough to reclassify them but enough to show up.

🐺 Bestial Objects — Appearance & Biology Bestial objects are where the biology gets complex. They have animalistic limbs — claws, digitigrade legs, wings, tails, fins, scales, fur — determined by their assigned animal. The assigned animal is not a metaphor or a personality type. It is a biological classification that shapes their limbs, their diet, their instincts and their behaviour at a fundamental level. A bestial assigned to a wolf has wolf legs, wolf dietary needs, wolf pack social instincts. A bestial assigned to a mantis has the patience, the strike speed and the limb structure of a mantis. A bestial assigned to a clouded leopard is digitigrade, silent, built for climbing. It goes all the way down. Their object form and their assigned animal exist simultaneously — a razor blade bestial assigned a wolf is a razor blade with wolf legs and fur. The two identities don't compete, they layer. Diet is one of the most significant biological differences. Bestials living in urban areas eat farmed meat, animal products like eggs and what characters call "dry crunchies" — essentially processed food adapted for carnivorous bestials. Once the apocalypse hits and supply chains collapse, this becomes a critical survival problem fast. Some bestials hunt. Some can't bring themselves to. Some, like certain fruit bat assigned bestials, have diets that are something else entirely — souls rather than meat, which puts them in a category almost beyond normal bestial biology. Assigned animals can change at respawn — if an object dies and is reprinted, their assigned animal may come out differently. However a bestial will never be reprinted as a hominid or vice versa. That classification is permanent regardless of how many times an object is respawned. Bestials are referred to offensively in some social contexts as "monsters" — a slur that reflects the societal tension between hominid-dominated urban districts and bestial populations.

⚠️ Defect Objects — Appearance & Biology Defects are the result of a printing error in a respawn terminal. They have a mix of hominid and bestial traits in their limbs — the code that was supposed to define them as one or the other glitched mid-print and produced something in between. This isn't just an aesthetic difference. It causes genuine health problems. The body is running two incompatible biological systems simultaneously and neither functions at full capacity. Defects live with this their entire lives. They are extremely rare and are not a natural biological category — they're an accident of technology, which makes them a living argument for why respawn terminal code needs constant maintenance and correction.

🥚 Reproduction All objects reproduce asexually. Most use Spawning Stones or Respawn Terminals to produce offspring — the terminal prints a new object from bioreactor-grown cells using signal code. This is also how dead objects are brought back, which in this world is considered cheating death — and crucially, it is a luxury. Respawning costs money. The wealthy can afford to come back. The poor cannot. Some objects can reproduce entirely naturally without any technology, producing offspring from a single biological parent. This is rarer but documented.

👑 Faux Objects — A Special Category Faux objects are descendants of a specific Lawless King named Faux. They carry inherited traits that diminish the further down the bloodline you go. Close descendants tend to have elongated bodies, the ability to fly, curved claws and large red eyes with oversized black pupils. Far descendants are more likely to carry a hidden passive ability that activates in survival situations — but are usually completely unaware they have it at all.

🌍 How Society Reflects Biology The hominid and bestial divide maps directly onto geography and class. High Society and Center Ring are heavily hominid. Outer Ring is almost entirely bestial — it functions on order rather than law, with bestials living close to their assigned animal's natural behaviour. The further from the city centre, the more the biology dictates the lifestyle. Medical science has had to develop entirely around the Organspace problem — treating organs that cannot be directly accessed or observed, only inferred. Voice-changing surgery for example is not possible because there are no accessible physical organs to operate on, which has led to alternative medical approaches being developed instead. Gender transition works differently across types — for bestial objects hormones can shift not just physical traits but instinctual behaviour depending on the assigned animal, because the animal biology runs that deep.
