Kinetics

## Physical Description

### Clothing

Kinetics wears a Striped Red and Yellow sweater, loosely fitting them. They wear a pair of sand-coloured Jeans, with a hole in the back for their tail, which are also baggy on them. Their sneakers are red on the tips, with a yellow stripe around them, along with the sole being white and the rest of the shoe being grey.

### Looks

Their entire body is coated in a thick but slightly sticky orange slime, which is squishy to the touch. Their head is almost perfectly rounded, their eyes being large as well as their having a set of sharp teeth. Their hands are also rounded, fingers only visible when they choose to separate them from each other. Their tail is lizard shaped, with a rounded orb on the end of it.

## Personality

Kinetics is usually fairly quiet, keeping to themselves and not trying making their presence very well known in crowds. Though around friends, they're very talkative and perhaps get carried away and too excitable. Their main source of happiness is from other people and often prefer being with close friends than being left alone.

They're usually seen as "weird", unfamiliar with a majority human concepts, words and emotions. Though they try their best to understand them, they *may* need someone to give a thorough explanation as they have trouble comprehending them.

They enjoy creating and like to express themselves with the emotions and feelings they *do* know. They often try to do art and photography of things they like, experimenting with different ideas frequently. Though they keep what they make to themselves as they find it to be mostly personal to them.

## Backstory

On the 14th of August, 2004, a new element was discovered, called **KINEIUM**. It was discovered at a meteor landing site in the United Kingdom, deep within the alien rocks. The landing was never found out by the public, so the knowledge of the existence of **KINEIUM** was only known by a small Science Institution, named *Eiectus*.

## Biology

* With the entirety of Kinetics' mass being made up of **KINEIUM**, their body is comprised of an Orange slime substance. It doesn't stick or leave traces behind on any touched surfaces, despite the slime's sticky nature.
* The outside of their body is an extremely thick and elastic layer of slime, looking to mimic skin. Beneath it, more slime can be found (which can also glow) - in comparison to their "skin", it's more fluid and sticks to surfaces much more - which bares similarities to blood and circulates around the body. This blood slime is also incredible acidic, enough to burn flesh when in contact.
* Their skeletal system is different compared to a humans'. Their bones are able to shift and bend easily, meaning Kinetics is able to change their anatomy. Though they say that they find it too difficult because 'it would hurt too much'.
* Their teeth, compared to the rest of their skeleton, are coated in a hardened substance of **CARBON KINEIUM**, meaning that chewing isn't an issue due to their bones' flexibility.
* Their eyeballs are submerged in slime, inside their head, which keep their eyes clean and protect them. This means that they don't need blink. Their "eyes" visible on the outside are only filters for their real eyes to see through.
* Their tail reflects their emotion in almost every situation, and they find great difficulty in hiding emotion through it. You can easily tell what they're feeling just by seeing what their tail is doing.

## Trivia

* Kinetics' design is heavily inspired by a Minecraft Slime, particularly by how round and squishy it looks.
* Due to their eyes having a filter and floating in orange slime, their vision is slightly orange.
* Due to being indecisive on Kinetics' appearance, a post was made asking users what kinds of additions could be given to them. Adding a tail to Kinetics was decided.
