Slime

A person whose shape can change

Slimes are gelatinous people whose amorphous bodies make shape an ongoing conversation. A greeting might begin as a wave and end with a hand; an expression can travel through the whole body as color, texture, or a ripple.

People and presence

Slimes are gelatinous people whose amorphous bodies make shape an ongoing conversation. A greeting might begin as a wave and end with a hand; an expression can travel through the whole body as color, texture, or a ripple. They adapt to unfamiliar spaces with an ease that unsettles people who assume every person must have a fixed outline. Absorption and mimicry give Slime stories a particular fascination with what is taken in and what remains one's own.

Some treasure recognizable silhouettes and practice them carefully. Others change their presentation with mood, company, or occasion, carrying keepsakes within a translucent body as visibly as another person would wear a necklace. Adventuring offers endless things to encounter, but also the challenge of being recognized across change. Rubber Slime Souls emphasize Agility and elastic, buoyant movement.

Sand Slime Souls favor Stamina and the patient cohesion of many grains. Jelly Slime Souls express Intelligence through responsive, flowing forms. Slime Body uses Clear; its absorption and ability-mimicry themes are expressed through the character's selected abilities and the rules of the game being played.

Reading the build

Body color and Soul color are independent. A different Race Soul or an Oversoul can accompany this Body. Physical or cultural descriptions do not automatically equip abilities. Check the selected ability for cost, target, timing, and effect.

Keep exploring.
