First and foremost, what are Amongi? Evolved from carnivorous plants the majority of their body is covered in fuzzy stem material, their 'hair' and dewlap are composed of leaves, the softness and volume of which can be used as indicators of health and/or stress.

Amongi sustain themselves on a mixture of sunlight and solid foods (Light fixtures are all designed with these needs in mind, though the artificial sunlight on the skeld is not very high quality). Though their digestive systems favor meat they, similar to humans, eat all sorts of things they arent supposed to because its yummy

Green

Despite their size they are shockingly strong (working on a farm full time will do that). They could lift just about any other crewmate with ease

Worms get significantly bigger in the Among us universe, though they start small they can reach girths comparable to a fully grown pig. Bull riding rowdy worms is a somewhat common pass for the more adventurous folks in the area.

After kissing those worms they gained a fear of being secretly attracted to worms, because of this they preferred to only work with very large worms which were more dangerous, could fight Green back they tried anything, and always required several people to help wrangle.

Their fear of doing something bad on the farm is part of what spurred them to want to leave and become a captain

White

White has albinism! Historically, Amongi that lived in low light environments had to hunt more to supplement their food supply and had certain biological differences to compensate. Being incapable of photosynthesis activated these usually dormant genes, giving them sharper teeth, a larger than usual appetite, and occasional urges that some may label cannibalistic. Not that White would indulge in something like that, drinking blud sounds unsanitary as hell.

Whites condition would be a death sentence to most, mostly cause healthcare in this universe is terribleeeeee and so expensive. Having an exorbitantly rich family is the only reason they are still around today, and they have to supplement their diet constantly in order to keep it that way. Their parents owning a pharmaceutical company certainly doesn't hurt.

Their albinism also causes pretty bad vision problems which they are oddly resistant to others finding out about. This makes them even worse at putting names to faces, and look douchey by wearing sunglasses inside

Because their supplements are basically just sugar pills they often mix them with their wine and other food. Any other crewmate trying their food would be revolted and bewildered by how sweet everything is, including the savory foods.

Red

Spikey or thinning dewlaps are a sign of sustained stress, or sickness. Red got hit with they double whammy, long term health issues from the radiation + guilt stress from betraying Purple

Hatesssss the texture of their uniform so much and only wears the top half unless absolutely necessary. If you want Red outta the crocks you gotta beg tho, those babies are practically glued to their gross little claw feet

Adopted later in life and never fully bonded with their parents. Developed chronic lying as a way to get attention and never really grew out of it

Purple

Crunchy dewlap and poor health from the reactor meltdown. Despite being unemployable for a while their health and stress is actually still better than Red's. Only by a little tho.

Cut off contact with their family as soon as they were able to. They worked on planet odd jobs for a while and jumped at the opportunity to get off world with a MIRA internship

Blue

During certain times of year, or otherwise preparing to reproduce(for some this can be triggered by something as simple as spending too much time with a crush) Amongi will go into 'bloom', a state that emphasizes attractive features and produces pheromones to entice other Amongi. Blue has a rather mortifying condition that means they are in bloom year round, regardless of their preferences.

Worries about their condition influencing patients, especially patients who may be sick, drugged, or otherwise unsound of mind, means they are nearly obsessively cleaning pheromone pollen out of their fur. Being so well groomed unfortunately just adds to their attractiveness

Lime

Constantly mistaken for being waaaay older than they are cause of their terrible self care making them look crusty and decrepit.

Lowkey agoraphobic. Being able to spend all day for weeks on end in vents avoiding people and open spaces has very much exasperated the issue

They are probably the lightest member of the crew, a mixture of getting poor light in the vents and an aversion to leaving the vents to get food, especially when other people are in the cafeteria. When the kitchen staff notice they start conspicuously leaving food in/near the cafe vent

Objectum <3. Things cant betray you. They have crushes on a few of their tools and a particular fascination with the reactor

Orange

This is directly contradicted by canon but HC Orange was already an Imposter, and had been for several years before the Skeld incident. Their position meant they were already aware of Aliens when they got infected, and as a result were able to keep their head and not murder anyone. MIRA offered them a life of comfort beyond what would be attainable just following their instincts.

The real orange had a Fiancé, and a close relationship with their parents. After being infected they broke off their relationship and buried themself in their work. They still visit Orange's family on holidays, both parties are happy to see each other, but the relationship is strained now. Orange cant bare to see them the rest of the year.

They think a lot about the life Orange would have been living if they hadn't been infected. They'd be married by now. They'd still have a close relationship with their parents. Orange wanted kids once. That'll never have that, not in the same way at least. They don't know whether to consider Orange themself, or just a dead memory they're in charge of now. They can't tell if they're guilty or mourning. Mostly they try not to think about it.

Yellow

In a QPR with Brown

Has a history of having their intelligence/capabilities questioned because of their strabismus. Saw Brown being hired as a slight from management

Its kinda hard to tell but their hair is styled to look like flower from the back <3

Brown

In a QPR with Yellow

Scraped together money for law school with dreams of helping people, but only got a few semesters in before becoming disgusted with the whole system and quitting.

Between Fight or Flight they typically choose Freeze.

Cyan

Amongi are obligate carnivores, so while artificial/alternative meat does exist, Cyan's vegetarianism is quiet unusual and fringe

Cyan has so so sooo many piercings, mostly in places that cannot be mentioned. Their real tattoos are absolutely more intentional and interesting than generic flower patterns but I'm lazy and not figuring all that out.

They are always at least a little high. Usually more than a little. They hold their substances spectacularly

Black

Lowkey jealous and intimidated by the number of piercing and tattoos Cyan has.

As their 'hair' is just leaves getting a haircut is actually really painful and considered a body modification on par with getting a large tattoo

they think the worlds full of sunshine and rainbows :/ I tried to make them more masc presenting but they're just crazy androgynous bro 😭 that works too though

Also I tried adding burn scars but 1 I'm trash at drawing things even slightly realistic and 2 I looked at so many refs and still didn't know what to do and basically gave up... sooo... sorry

I gave them a worm hairclip cause I though that's be cute. Also I meant for their hair to look more brown but clearly I fucked up somewhere ;-;

Orange!!!! I love you orange :3c Also this was inspired by that one tweet where someone asked if among us chars could blep or something... Idk I was remember it off the top of my head so I probably got some bits wrong but whatever I thought that was cute and had to draw orange doing it!!!

I recently got on adhd meds (thank GOD) and to see of they worked I decided to focus on drawing and I honestly can't tell if they're working or I just happened to get really motivated today... Well it did make me more energetic though so that's smth

oh also if you wanna check out my oc art everything's tagged with #oc art ....👀 PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE only if you want to ofc 😁

yo this is pure shit but i’m so tired of looking at it on ibispaintx tells me i worked on this for over 9 hours which is embarrassing so. might as well post it.

Originally the text was “we want you for mira hq” like the song In the Navy by Village People but it didn’t work for the screen so i changed it.

in case you’re curious and can’t zoom in, the text besides red says “©MIRA CORP, 30XX. All Rights Reserved. Redistribution of material for the purpose of parodying, blaspheming, dog whistling, critiquing, criticizing, unsavory reacting, and other adjectives as such are strictly prohibited and punishable.” cause it was late and i thought i was the purest of comedians

smoker purple canon IM SORRY IM SORRY i drew them with a cig ONCE and now its permanent. to me. i dont even smoke just. they do now. to me.

i love ssshhhiiittt! so much bro. i don’t speak russian or any eastern european languages for that matters so idk if the translation is accurate (another one i saw said “this house is trash, of course, it’s not much better here”) but i liked the vibe of this translation and thought it matched camtain better so… in any case i was looking at other songs of theirs and while i thought a few lyrics were camtain coded, a lot of them are more intern-era and didn’t fit the drawing as much.
