Appearance

Umbra—the shared name for this collection of strange beings, all carried within the head of a bat—lives up to its title, being completely, entirely black, from head to toe. Completely monochrome and dark as the night sky, it lives up to its species’ size, its wings spreading wide when the body is in flight to create the effect of a dark shadow more than a foot long in length swooping through the sky. In fact, the only spot of light on this creature’s body may be considered to be its gemstone; nestled on its stomach, among its deep, dark fur is a mosaic of black gemstone shards, all patterned with a bright, yellowed starburst that gives them the appearance of stars in the dark. These shards are connected by a thin gemstone plate beneath the skin, but if this collection of minds is lucky, nobody will ever see that.

The many minds this body has vary in mental appearance, however. Caliante identifies wholly with the body, moving with a certain grace and focused purpose; she is comfortable within this body, as it’s hers, more so than any of her headmates’. Her voice is high-pitched and scratchy, but there’s a certain sweet innocence within it that makes it seem rather cute.

Crack-In-The-World, or Crack, sees itself as a being alien to the caves; an ever-shifting mass of darkness, bleeding out from some unknown point, with many purple, gleaming eyes staring out from the blackness. When it speaks, its voice is quiet, controlled, and hissy, like a breath of steam. It barely moves when in control of the body; when it does, its movements are eerily stiff and calculated, as if it is a puppeteer controlling its body from the outside.

Tarragon sees herself as a lesser ball python, predatory and attentive; her head sways side to side as she watches the world when she’s in control, mouth always parted as if to use a sense she doesn’t have. She moves quite strangely when she walks, choosing to drag her body along the ground with her wings, or forgetting she has them at all; but there’s a hidden agility in her movements when she remembers she can fly, swaying from side to side in the air, perfectly willing to tuck her wings in and streak down to the ground in a blur of black fur when hunting. Her voice is hissy and oddly-emphasized, but there’s something feminine and sweet to it, too, surprisingly soothing coming from such a predatory creature.

Mercury sees himself as a strange hybrid of lizard and cat; having bright orange fur with a white underbelly, yet yellow scales, slit eyes, and lizard’s claws. Of course, in the real world, he has none of this, but he manages—although he will never be a confident flier, more comfortable on the ground than in the sky, he can still run with bat’s wings, even if he gets ahead of himself occasionally and trips and falls. His voice is rough, deep, and occasionally gets loud when he gets excited.

Ripple perceives themselves as a silver eagle ray, a creature of the sea; their breathing is stuttery and uncertain when they take control, as if they are unused to the act of taking breath. Opposite to Mercury, they prefer to be in the air rather than on the land; their movements in flight are graceful and light, rarely flapping their body’s wings but rather choosing to let the wind take them wherever it leads. They are quiet, serene, but when they do speak, their voice is soft, measured, and balanced. Each word is chosen with care.

Personality

Many minds mean many personalities, many outlooks on life, and the minds that the body of this flying fox holds are much the same.

Caliante is shy, fearful; every person could hold a friend or a foe, every shadow holds the unknown. Yet she has an inquisitive streak as well—as many questions spin through her head as fears. This little bat is terrified by the world, at times, but ever-so-curious. Despite this, she also holds a surprising confidence when she feels safe. She considers herself utterly in control of her body and magic, and that sweet, soft voice of hers can become surprisingly commanding in the right circumstances.

Crack-In-The-World is… off. It does not seem to understand or really connect with other gembounds; there is something alien in the way it moves, thinks, and speaks. Consumed with the base desire to grow, create, and spread, it weaves prokaryotic magic with an intensity bordering on obsession. It treats its body as a laboratory of sorts; a ground where it can create and experiment. It prefers to lurk in the back, having a phobia of light; whenever it does come out, whether unwillingly or otherwise, it tends to interact with gembounds distantly and coldly.

Tarragon is a blend of sweet maternal emotions and predatory instinct. Always at attention, her eyes snap to the slightest movement, ready to hunt down and pounce potential prey. She displays a certain thrill of the hunt, eager to play with and terrify lesser gembound even if she isn’t hungry—but she also has a softer, sweeter side. Friendly and kind, she can’t stand the thought of another gembound being unhappy or in danger, often pushing to the front when someone is in need to aid them.

Mercury is initially aggressive, stubborn, and rough. He doesn’t trust easily, and he shows it; gembound that he doesn’t know are met with cold, one-word responses and prying words. He believes whole-heartedly that the world is dangerous, and treats it as such—he can often come off as rude, angry, and brash to those he interacts with. However, he has a softer, simpler side; a part of him simply wants to daydream, talk to others, and maybe relax in a nice sunbeam surrounded by plants. He yearns for social interaction and to connect to other gembounds, but his trust issues prevent him from doing so. However, those who manage to befriend him have a lifelong, loyal friend and fierce protector—he will protect those he cares for from harm with the same fiery intensity he protects his headmates.

Ripple lives up to their name—like a ripple in a pond, they are delicate, peaceful, and calm. They barely say a word, but not from a dislike of speaking, like Crack. They simply prefer to watch and learn instead of speak, more focused on their thoughts than interacting with the outside world. They observe, think, and learn, like a philosopher or scholar, and values the truth above all else. They will never lie, cheat, steal, or anything dishonest—in fact, one could say they have a sense of honor and chivalry, like a knight in shining armor.
