Others

*(Notice: Others were originally owned by Reitanna-Seishin, and to learn more about Others, go here. I do not claim these as my own, but most of the designs will be different.)*

Others are "beings born from a broken mind". From birth, they are connected to their "Host".

## About Others

### Born Others

Others are born attached to the Hosts umbilical cord. The fetus cannot be detected before birth, therefore it looks like it isn't even there. This might be because of the lack of technology, or the fact that they just can't be seen.

When the Host is born, it is unknown if it'll have an other, until the mother gives birth to a second child (or even multiple children depending in the amount of disorders someone has). The Host might not know the Other is even there until diagnosis of their condition.

### Acquired Others

Acquired Others are Others who appear later in life from a traumatic event in the host, so traumatic that is damages the brain, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. After the traumatic event has occurred, the Host will become immediately ill, (sometimes) collapse, and vomit up a strange substance (about a gallon of it). It will be the same colors as the Others blood. After this happens, the substance will change into a molecular structure, thus creating an other.

### Relationship

Relationships with Hosts and Others can be a love/hate relationship. Either both can hate or love each other, one can hate one another while the other likes them, and vice versa. Most of the time, the can be indifferent to one another.

## Rules for Others

* Usually, Others are the Host's name spelled backwards, but if the Host has more than one Other, the Other can legally change it's name.
* They cannot be different species.
* They can be different genders. This can only happen if the Host is transgender, more comfortable with the opposite sex, communicates well with the opposite sex, etc.
* There can be multiple Others.
* Others are immortal, unlike their Host. However, if the Host dies, the Others become mortal and can die. If it doesn't die, it mysteriously passes away months later. It seems to suffer if the Host dies.

## Trivia

* The Others can calm down if the Host has taken medication.
