WORTH THE WAIT.

Oooh this is a good one.

Nyma and the rebels (Rolo, etc) are all ghouls

Pretty much inspired by Tokyo Ghoul, so I headcanon a lot of the lore follows that, (can drink coffee but have to eat human flesh) but they’re also a bit like zombies in that they’re technically considered undead. 

Also it means they don’t mind eating already dead folks, and can gain memories from eating brains. 

Kind of like in Warm Bodies they can either be mindless or regain sentience slowly but still crave flesh. 

They were very hesitant to start visiting Jé-Rouges even with Shiro and Lance reaching out directly because they’re very private (and somewhat ashamed) about what they do for food.

Mostly they skulk around areas where dead bodies might wash up. Hence why they comb beaches and waterfronts.

They sometimes disturb crime scenes but try not to eat all of the evidence, taking pieces of flesh off of areas that might not be looked at or would be chalked up to wildlife scavenging the bodies.

A lot of times they either make friends with or work at local morgues. Some of the ones that “pass” better (have less obvious wounds, non-white eyes or less pallid skin) try to get jobs as medical examiners or work with forensics.

Lance thought Nyma was cute but ended up losing a piece of ear and cuffed up on a beach in Far Rockaway as a “prank”. Hunk had to sniff him out.

She is sorry, and it was when they were both younger teens so she chalks it up to both being young and dumb.

Though there’s some unresolved anger, they can be civil to each other.

There is one more supernatural class that I haven’t mentioned, and won’t until they are officially introduced, because of huge spoilers for a lot of things. We have informally “met” one already, (the person I’ve dubbed “The Thin Man” from Lance’s flashbacks) and if my current writing plan goes as I want it to, in chapter 12 we might get a name for them.

In lieu of that, I’ll go over a rule I created for the Paper Skin world:

If character is X in the show canon, then they and their associates/family are Y in Paper Skin.

So like, all of Hunk and Lance’s family are humans in show canon, so in PS they’re all werewolves. Shiro is human, so in PS he’s a vampire and so is (most of) his family and his Garrison associates (lol poor Iverson). Keith’s dad is human, therefore he’s a vampire in PS.

The other rule I created was to try and make the prominent alien races human. Hence why Balmerans and Alteans are all 100% human in the PS world. Haggar despite being a magic user is human. Even characters I haven’t introduced yet, like if Rax shows up? He’s human. If Romelle shows up? She’s human.

yessssssssss * v *

It descended from above, body sleek and boneless as it bent over backwards and curled towards him. Pale skin almost seemed to glow under the Derceto's lights as it crawled forward, mouth ajar and teeth glinting.
