Blu-Tack Man

Introduction

There are only a few known Blu-Tack Men in Rathnir. The largest family of them is the de Cuirassier Family, though there are other families, one example being the de Rouffin, which only has one member. They arrived in an exile after a rebellion around 700 years ago, forced to walk millions of blocks over the nether roof. 79 set out, only a quarter of which made it across.

Blu-Tack Home world

The people of Larentrium (the original blu-tack home world) are one of philosophy and wisdom. The planet, though originally mountainous, is now covered in a seemingly infinite city. It is known that at some point around 1.25 million years ago, their sun collapsed, leaving the planet in a seemingly eternal darkness. The Blu-Tack People however learnt to improvise and have learnt to live in the dark surface.

Key features of the Blu-Tack Man

Blu-Tack Men have up to 100x the life span of humans, though they usually live around 500 years. Though Blu-Tack Men usually have no eyes, they use what is known to them as the sense to stimulate the sense of vision. Quite often they can sense things before they happen, or sense danger before it happens. They keep this a secret, and the only reason we know this was because one of the Blu-Tack Men mentioned this before he died, in his last words. They are blue, and sometimes have dark blue hair, though variants include green hair or grey hair. They are made of Blu-Tack and have no bones. They can reform themselves at will, and don't like the rain, as it can deform them, which is quite annoying for some of them. Only a few Blu-Tack Man have ever had eyes, one example being the 'Infinite Alchemist' who may have been cursed to live forever, and hence grew eyes and a large mouth.

We know there used to be other colours of Tack Men, including but not limited to: grey, pink, yellow, white and green. At some point in the 7th century the previously peaceful Tack People went to civil war, after a Yellow-Tack Man murdered the Grey-Tack 1st Consul, resulting in the Blu-Tack and White-Tack joining the Grey-Tack forces. The Pink-Tack forces remained neutral, but mostly emigrated due to an unknown plague. The armies of Yellow and Green held out in urban warfare for 8 years until eventually the Yellow-Tack people capitulated, resulting in them being annihilated by the Green-Tack forces for so-called 'cowardice'. This wiped out an estimated 85% of their already dwindling population, with those left usually too old to reproduce, around 2 centuries later the last recorded Yellow-Tack woman died. The White-Tack population succumbed to the same unknown plague as the Pink-Tacks tried to flee, becoming extinct around 50 years later, as a cure was not possible. This Plague did not seemingly affect Blu-Tack People, Grey-Tack People or Green-Tack People. The Green-Tack people would not stop fighting until 19 years later, when the combined Grey-Tack forces issued a warrant for their destruction. They unleashed a heat source so powerful that it melted every single Green-Tack Person, and left most of the Grey-Tack People with horrifying disfigurements. These disfigurements led to a self-imposed exile in the Tomb Colonies in the Mantle of the world of Larentrium.

Rituals

The Blu-Tack Men are very superstitious and have one specific ritual where they go to the ice caves and pick out materials to create their feared blades. Then they have to go to the scorching desert, where they pick out the handles of their blades. Then they go to the top of the highest mountain, and get the infinite alchemist to infuse their blades with ancient magic and dark energy.
