Othersider Human (Uh-THER-SIDER Hue-Min)

Othersider Humans, or simply Othersiders, are humans native to the Otherworld. These light-deprived beings had since evolved out the need for light and rely on sound and touching cues mostly to navigate. Othersider Humans have unique technology not found elsewhere and are known as one of the few Otherworld native species to be able to spend time in the Overworld for extended periods of time without the risk of Cosmic Collapse.

Basic Information

Anatomy

• Ears: Large, pointed, and slightly curled at the tips, with the ability to ear almost any vibration.

• Skeletal Structure: Quite hard and sturdy, able to survive falls of several meters. Their colored claws are sharpened bone fingertips poking out of the skin.

• Bioluminescent Spots: Speckled areas on the skin that can sense heat and glow.

• Teeth: Othersiders have sharper teeth and an extra row in their jaw and front backs.

• Limbs: 4, same as Common Humans.

Genetics and Reproduction

Othersiders produce the same way Common Humans, Asterians, and real world Humans do, via live birth. Brigther hair colors are more dominant in Othersiders, while all Othersiders have pale blue eyes (tinted by their blue blood).

Growth Rate & Stages

Othersiders age 0.5 years per Earth year and age quite slower, particularly after the biological age of 20 (40 in Earth years). Othersiders go through puberty at age 20 and are considered adults at 40.

Ecology and Habitats

Othersiders come from a lightless and cold enviroment with only bioluminescent plants and fungi for sources of light and the former in the case of oxygen, and thus that would be the best enviroment for them. Nightlands and the Dark are great places, while the Tropics would not.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Othersiders are omnivorous with a lean toward carnivorous, as Othersiders tend to eat the meat of Soul Dragons, Snappers, Ethereal Hogs, Otherworldian Cows, Wraiths, and smaller Titans, and Umbralillies, Harmony Cabbage, Teal Broccoli, and Glitter Beans. Othersiders hunt using their weaponry, claws, and teeth, and normally store their food within container rooms, which are like fridges but are entire rooms.

Behaviour

Othersiders tend to be more polite and cordial in their mannerisms. Each Othersider tends to be more connected with their nearby communities and are extremely calculated and creative. They are quite patient, too, but can be extremely ruthless toward their enemies and prey.

Additional Information

Facial characteristics

Othersiders have relatively flat faces with perky or small noses, cat-like ears, sharp fangs in their slightly bigger mouths, and pale eyes with faded pupils. Their eyes have darker, sunked bags underneath and the area on their eyelids in which their transulcent lashes grow appears to be a bright blue, like their blood. Bioluminescent spots of various patterns are normally around the forehead, nose, cheeks, and ears.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

• Sight: Othersiders have above average vision in the dark and natural night vision, but their vision is extremely blurry in natural light and everything not within a 1-meter zone of the Othersider appears completely blurred and blob-like. About 30% of Othersiders are born completely blind.

• Hearing: Othersiders have similar hearing to Titans, such as being able to sense "silent" vibrations like that of sesmic trembles

• Smell: Othersiders can smell in a manner similar to Elementals

• Taste: Same sense of taste like Common Humans

• Touch: Othersiders' hands and feet are much more sensitive to touch than the rest of their body and they can use their claws to easily climb or dig a hole in a caved-in area out.

Civilization and Culture

History

Othersiders were a group of Devoters who were transplanted into the Otherworld 150,000 years ago by Ancient Astronauts and spent an unknown amount of time within the Realm (as time passes differently there, likely faster) and eventually mutated into a new subspecies. They picked up technology from the Astronauts and at some point, had decided to help the humans of what later became the Void Dimension in the year 2969 CE in that universe.

Also Known as: Spatian Humans, Alien Humans, Blue People/Blue Aliens/Bleus, and Ghouls.

Body Tint, Colouring and Marking

Othersider skin is colored a pale gray-blue, with veins appearing on their faces, arms, legs, and around their collarbones/necks. Patterns such as speckles, stars, hearts, and stripes are common and are the bio-luminescent spots. Claws are colored like their hair, which are always technicolor (e.g. blue, purple, pink, orange/red, and yellow) or plantium blond/white.
