Swimming in the gap spaces reaching out and repelling generating ripples in the unstable territories of dark spaces within peoples consciousness. Waking us up while allowing us to maintain ownership of the changes and transformations. Wordless substance, moving where there are instabilities. Blind and all seeing sniffing out lies and truth dichotomies drinking blood and sticky substances that ooze from perfect pores. Dream maker that scours our depths and makes us grow up and around encasing us in binding light, waking us up to our true potential. Dream creature stirs and dances in the fragment space and generates uncertainty and confusion breaking up crusts and boxes. Stirring up animals held in chains churning up solid substances into liquid soupy material for reconstituting our lives.

VULGARIS
it invites and attracts single bodies (both positive and negative towards character) to join and confront it.
constantly accepting and spitting out..if you are a negative object and manage to enter the character..one way or another you will be changed….or some part will be changed.
it doesnt have any sharp bodies, some times you don't really see where it started and where it ends though it has kind of outer (boiling, influencing, centre) bubbling, moving against centre
its main colour is blue/green Its made out of an infinite amount of bodies
Its very organic
US AND THEM
Thin, many armed, mirrored in parts, translucent in others (sometimes masked).
Many arms, clouds of hands,, often working together, sometimes not
continually shaping itself with its own arms/hands
possibly androgynous, attractive, but vaguely faceless, often the face appears as a mirror, to some a mask to others
old and wise, or young and foolish, depending on the light
industrious(?) offering comfort and solace by offering arms as a shelter, or to hold things in place, or tear them down.
often mistaken for someone else
know as either “us” or “them”
ALFRED
Alfred is an explorer.
He has the ability to see all that goes on.
Sometimes in all directions (everywhere)
Sometimes in history…1424…1606…1910…2007..(everywhen)
He can move instantly, so no mass inertia.
He can move or dance around things without disturbing them.
He needs no nourishment.
He moves in sync with life like a liquid ninja.
He wears a butler costume.
When he likes something he multiplies.
A gives set of Alberts are connected with a pink toothpaste like substance that serves the same purpose as the silver-surfers board.
He cannot manipulate his surroundings.
KRA KRA
Can take over/copy the powers of others
It appears only in the shape of a human being or black bird
It can tap in the powers of any plant or animal, rock, water, air or human being
so it can become one with the other, the other one doesnt even notice, while at the same time it stays a human being.
it likes to tease
in bright light it loses its powers
he always needs to carry something with it, otherwise it can be attacked by anything
