Shapes

Shapes are the inhabitants of The Pink Corruption series (Both Continuations). Their appearance is based on polygons, objects, etc. Sometimes, instead of using “anybody” in a sentence, they use “anyshape.”

## **Shapes**

These humanoid-like shapes are most commonly placed around Paradise, such as Poly and the Poly Forest.

#### **Anatomy**

They have two legs, floating hands, and a head (and body) in a certain shape, such as a triangle or a sphere. They can come in many colors and sizes. On their chests, they sport a small triangle that glows when using powers, or glows in the color of someone they are showing affection towards. If nervous or afraid, their head and face can become slightly darkened.

#### **Growth and Development**

Like most humans, they can grow from an infant to an adult to an elder during their lifespan.

#### **Needs**

Like most humans, shapes need certain things to survive. Shapes need to sleep to keep them energized, and can get tired when it starts to get dark out. If they're too tired, they cannot fight or exercise. Shapes also are shown to need to breathe, as demonstrated by Cube when he gasps in surprise when spotting a threat. The idle swaying of a character's head and body in the show could also be seen as heavy breathing, like in Episode 2 when Cube was on the verge of corruption. Although no shape has been seen eating onscreen (besides Dub,) it is possible that they also need to eat food in order to gain energy, like in the short Pancake Flip, when breakfast is being made.

As seen in Episode 6, most shapes will feel great pain if injured, however pentagon shapes are immune to injuries and will only feel pain instead. In Cube and Iris’ case when their legs were presumably broken, they were confined to beds, and were unable to stand. It is unknown if shapes can bleed, however the numerous amount of bandages on their faces imply so.

#### **Group Shapes**

Some of these shapes contain certain colored pieces of the Tree of Life, and they join groups in order to form a full piece to give to a caretaker and hero. Other shapes, like caretakers, do not show interest in joining a group. Caretakers, if not already containing a Tree fragment, are indirectly linked to the Tree via their Heroes. These Tree fragments can be removed and stolen by other shapes, however when they are freed from their clutches, the owner can pull it back to them using a type of telekinesis, like Cintagon did before storing the fragment back into his chest triangle.

#### **Powers and Abilities**

* **Natural-Born Abilities -** Natural-born abilities are traits uniquely possessed by shapes that vary depending on their shape type.
	+ **Superhuman Physical Capabilities -** Specifically, shapes possess superhuman physical attributes corresponding to their specific shape, endowing them with superhuman abilities encompassing strength, speed, resilience, acrobatic skills, etc. While it is suggested that shapes may have more than one natural-born trait within them but not on the same level as the specific shape with the trait.
* **Controllable Weapons -** Controllable weapons are weapons that require the user to control or manipulate their weapons effectively. The user must actively engage with these weapons to aim, fire, or direct their attacks. A good example for this is Commando Circumsphere's controllable weapon is a firearm-like weapon that works like a pistol that he uses to aim and fire at opponents.
* **Holdable Weapons -** Holdable weapons, on the other hand, refer to weapons that can be easily held or grasped by the user physically. These typically are designed for shapes for close-quarter combat or long-ranged combat situations in battle. Holdable weapons include items such as swords, shovels, bows and arrows, and bar-like weapons for example.
* **Unique Abilities -** Shapes do in fact can have other special abilities such as Iris's teleportation ability for example.

## N**on-Humanoid Shapes**

These are shapes that do not have a body, most of which usually are shaped as an object. There seem to be very few of these shapes, being Ketches, The Helicopter, and The Sun. These shapes (actually only Ketches because he's the only canonically named one) are named after the purpose of their object.

## **Monster Shapes**

Monster Shapes are cyclops-like species that share similarities with regular shapes, but are significantly larger in appearance. Due to their notorious reputation for being evil, they are often feared by many. However, not all Monster Shapes are malevolent, and some, like Pyrare, are celebrated for their positive reputation as protectors of Paradise for being a caretaker. Some monsters, such as Ajaceare, may have a smaller size and a single eye, which only adds to their intimidating appearance. Like other beings, monsters can also have fragments of the Tree of Life within them, with the triangles on their chests appearing upside down.

#### **Powers and Abilities**

* **Laser Eyes -** This ability only comes from Monster Shapes. They can shoot out powerful beams of light from their eye at their foes.
* **Longevity -** It was confirmed that Monster Shapes have a much longer lifespam than normal shapes. One example is that one of the caretakers, Pyrare is over 1000+ years old.

## **Flowers**

Flowers are characterized by their tall, pointed abdomens, and lanky builds. These species hypothesized that they were predominantly the main habitants of Paradise, near the Trees of Life. All members of this species bear triangles on their chests, albeit with some variations in appearance depending on gender. Specifically, the females wear dresses and adorn themselves with hair bows, while the males typically do not wear any clothing. However, their leader, Lythorus, is an exception to this norm, as he is the only male observed to wear a jacket.

#### **Powers and Abilities**

* **Water Running -** Flowers appear to have the ability to run on water freely without sinking to the bottom. However, it's unknown if Flowers can stand still and walk on water.
