some more fun facts about 13!
part of how they are able to function is because of a minor sort of reality bending. essentially, they are able to do things because they believe they should be able to. this includes stuff like:
eating normally despite those giant pointy teeth
speaking normally despite those teeth and also the fact that they don’t have lungs or vocal cords (however their inner goop DOES do oxygen/co2 exchange
modifying basically anything they consider part of their self image, so jewelry clothing etc
they function without normal organs because they are part ghost! their internal goop is something like a combo of demon blood, ectoplasm, and an unknown substance that scientists (read: one mad scientist) are still trying to figure out. it can digest food, perform oxygen exchange, act as muscles etc. it is also basically their entire brain
they DO have a skeleton. it’s made out of mostly regular human bone! but it’s shaped weird and is as cartoony as the rest of them. it serves as support for their goo muscles.
they are, like, REALLY weird.
they have a mix of adult and immature traits, which is characteristic of young, non-human ghosts as they’re pretty much born “fully formed” but have very little life experience. their ghost base had existed for about 2 years before getting shoved in a human corpse.
they’ve existed in their current form for about 3 years. their sort of “average age” based on maturity and intelligence is somewhere around late teens at the moment, and was mid-teens when they were first created! they age like a human! which generally ghosts don’t do. this is pretty cool
