APPEARANCE:
they are of unknown age.
they have an androgynous build.
their skin and the glass of their head are a light grey.
however, unlike their skin, the glass is see-through.
vial has seams at their shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip,
knee, and ankles, to allow them to bend more easily.
their fingers also have seams, but they are not as visible.
although vial does not have eyes, they will sometimes
wear their goggles to simulate the appearance of eyes.
the liquid in vial's head appears to have small spots of light suspended in it.
removing the liquid causes the body to fall "unconscious".
substituting any other liquid will not "revive" them.
CLOTHING:
vial is not very particular about their clothing.
they will wear whatever style or type happens to fit them at the moment.
however, they will not wear clothing that could cause them to trip
(eg; high heels, very long pants or skirts, etc)
also, please note that vial usually keeps a pair of goggles on them,
regardless of what other clothing they are wearing.
the clothing pictured it just one example of an outfit vial wears.
if you'd like to, please feel free to design them a new outfit.
ACCESSORIES:
the cork inside vial's head is removable.
removing it may cause the liquid inside to spill or escape as vapor.
vial will occasionally wear a belt with several pouches.
the belt serves the same function as a purse or backpack.
PERSONALITY:
vial is a generally slow-paced and patient person.
they often double- or triple-check their work to make sure it is correct.
they avoid confrontation where possible, due to the risk of their head breaking.
also, it's just a hassle to get into arguments. vial doesn't see the point.
GENDER & FUNCTION:
hopefully this section will answer any questions about what vial is, and how they work.
as always, please ask me about anything that is unclear or needs further explanation!
vial is an androgynous humanoid body controlled by sentient magic liquid.
vial themself is, quite literally, sentient magic liquid. it might be helpful to think of a
"GOLEM".
vial has no inherent gender. vial's body was primarily designed for communication and transportation.
the body allows vial an easy way to interact with and manipulate objects around them.
vial's body is humanoid so that they can communicate more effectively with humans.
the body was not designed with any primary or secondary sex characteristics, as they
are irrelevant to vial's existance.
vial controls their body via magic. the majority of vial (aka the liquid) is stored in the "head."
the body contains a pipe system that the liquid runs thought, which is similar to veins in a human body.
this system was designed because vial's magic can only control objects that are relatively nearby.
so, this system allows vial to control all parts of the body quite easily, with relatively great dexterity.
