Ghosts

A series of human clones that operate similar to a virus.

## Project Goals

Created with the intention of being able to spread to new cities, with little oversight, to wreck havoc and support the activities of those working against the Crown and the Academy. They function similar to a virus. Some clones set up shop in a city, and begin to kidnap children to turn into more ghosts, under the supervision of a Percy clone.

The clones are extremely fast and agile, however they are not that physically strong.

They are very similar to animals in their intelligence. Only able to talk and recite from a script, with some residual behaviors from the process of making them. They do, however, have exceptional senses, much like their one of their predecessors, Whiskers. These senses, especially the echolocation, allow them to create an internal map of their all their surroundings. Which they use in addition to their speed and agility to be near impossible to catch.

## Appearance

There are five types of clone, a black-haired east Asian one, a redhead, a blonde, and a brunette. Those four are all women, described as exceptionally attractive. The fifth is a clone of Percy. These clones are not perfectly identical, as they use children that are kidnapped as the base to build upon.

## Language

They speak through a series of high-pitched screams that many cannot hear and some have difficulty hearing. Even Catcher and Helen, who's ears initially could hear the frequency described it as faint.

There are several nuances to their speech having a 'bob', like how a pigeon bob's it's head when everything is alright, that indicates all is well.

## Trivia

* Have some relation to the clone series seen in Boil.

Builder's Wood

In the world of Twig any wooden item from houses to furniture has been replaced by **Builder's Wood**.

Houses are grown from it, as much as they are built, and can be repaired through this process. It takes a variety of other forms, persumably from diffrent streins, when used to make furniture and other items. It can also be 'poured' into materials, presumably in some seed form that allows it to be quickly grown.

Can be used for quarantine procedures when used in conjunction with Rain.

It needs tending to for it to grow correctly.

## Black Wood

* Main Article: Black Wood

A virulent strain of Builder's Wood, in many ways its antithesis.

## Trivia

* Shaping wood has a long real life history. Espalier for example was where fruit trees were shaped around building to provide fruit and similar.

In Sheep’s Clothing 10.11

**In Sheep’s Clothing 10.11** is the eleventh chapter of In Sheep’s Clothing. Sy and Mary coerce the Baron's scientists into making theme drugs and a decoy firstborn before the wedding guests arrive.

## Plot

Sy talks to Evette, and passes it off as warning Clifton not to blow up the lab. He thinks about her shifting appearance, how it draws on what he remembers about vat babies because of Helen and Ashton.

Carmen makes enough noise to wake Mary; apologises profusely at gunpoint. Mary worries that she was sleeping, and then more that Sy hasn't. He reassures her about it in a way that puts the focus back on her; she catches that he's pulling something but not what.

Simon finishes the Wyvern formula. Sy tests him by asking him to give it to either Carmen or Clifton, and Simon asking one of them to volunteer satisfies him that the formula is genuine.

Sy asks how the projects are coming along. Clifton says "an hour", Carmen's freaking out and they talk about how firstborn are made and programmed. While explaining that the people the Baron takes are usually quiet, Simon calls the villagers scrapings from the bottoms of the filthiest barrels. Sy says that that's what the *scientists* are, then demands one of them play firstborn. Simon realises that Clifton has delayed on purpose, but still gets the job—and Sy gets an eye from Clifton.

Sylvester, Mary, and their 'born head out, Sy noticing how strange it is to have two functional eyes again. They find their clothes and get changed; Mary didn't expect a job, so she only has the twenty knives she normally wears. Mary tells Sy she's still mad at him about Lillian, that the important thing is if she's happy. Sy tries to not let on that nothing he's about to do will make Lillian happy.

A train whistles. Simon's surprised because it's off schedule when they're normally very regular. It's the guests, arriving for the wedding. Guests with their security, more people between them and the Baron. And, possibly, Mauer or Fray.

## Characters

* Mary
* ~~Evette~~

God

God, a self applied appalation, is a primordial created in Lugh by rebels.

Before its death God had combined with a sibling.

## Record

Was grown with 'Brothers' by professors [blank]

Was unleashed on the streets with Lugh causing untold damage to all sides including the city.

The four became three became one in this Primordial

Was eventually captured by the Dukes forces, with the dukes incapacitation the baron withdrew forces and left it for red-haired man to deal with.

With the help of his pet the red haired-men cornered and kill the Primordial but beast, with the recently decided on self appellation of "God" spited him and all his species in death.

2. ↑ But there was one wall that had been part of the adjoining building, and that wall had a message inscribed on it.  He had to push down part of the roof and exterior wall to allow sufficient light into the dark, enclosed space.  Once he had, he could reread the message and be sure he’d read it right the first time.

*It named itself God.*

The Infante had taken all of this for an indulgence, a step away from the normal routines and responsibilities.  His desire to know his enemies had brought him here, so he might find the source of the plague and look it in the eye.

Mauer likely hadn’t seen the connection between primordial and plague clearly, or hadn’t wanted to.  Few others knew enough of the full details while also knowing that a primordial could even do something like this. - Excerpt from Interlude 18.a

## References

1. ↑ It wasn’t massive.  It wasn’t even pretty, or useful, or anything of the sort.

But, amid black trees and black ground, black branches and black clouds of dust that drifted close to the ground, there was a slice of green, like clover.  It encircled the trunk on the side closest to the sun, and it peeked through where the dust wasn’t piled too high on the ground.

This.  This was why.  Why she fought, why she’d tried.  It was hope.  Acknowledgment on some greater level.

“What was it your friend said?  Life adapts.  We adapt.”

“He wasn’t a friend,” the Small Mercy said.  “Not really.”

Red was quiet.  She reached out to touch the green leaves, that were somehow surviving *despite* so much. Excerpt from **Epilogue 1**

Ashton

A later edition to the Lambs who grew into his role.

## Appearance

Though technically more plant than animal Ashton looks for all intents and purposes like a human being. With very red hair.

## Project Goal

A social manipulator able to brute force his way into getting people to do what he wants.  Subject has some learning mechanisms that allow him to delineate his approach.

Is definitely a plant with a lung for a body and a pheromone producer.

More stuff about aston.

The subject can regenerate from heavy damage. Even regenerating limbs.

### Expiration Date

Eventually he will not be able to learn anything else and his mind will turn in on himself throwing him into a inescapable loop.

## History

The first Ashton made with the original lambs was aborted. Left in a large tub of formaldehyde and his tree left to rot.

Later another Ashton would be grown thanks to the lambs proving their worth.

One of his first experiences was Avis escaping. Was trained up along with Jamie two.

## References

1. ↑ Ashton is an attempt to brute force what others (Sy) do by nuance. Where these same pheromones might be stored by other vehicles, like a giant warbeast, there'd generally be no nuance at all.
He joined the team as the team split, with the idea being that he could be deployed to one objective while Sy was deployed to another. - Wildbow on Reddit
2. ↑ “*I* have feedback mechanisms that would make that easier,” Ashton said. “So I can understand the things people are feeling. They could probably give me the ability to feel others’ pain.

The **Crown Empire**, also known as the **Crown Kingdom** is the bloated corrupt militaristic version of the British government. It has *allegedly* conquered a third of the globe and the setting for Twig.

## Government

The Lord King sits on his throne and is the law and will of the people. Praise be to the Crown.

The de facto leader of the government is the Academy.

## History

### Background

It is hard to understand the true history of the empire given that it rewrites much of it to suit itself.*[citation needed]* Further academic institutions do not seem to be truly independent therefore removing any criticism.

They kept the newly conquered crown states small.

## References

1. ↑ Bleeding Edge 8.11
2. ↑ The Crown had made the Crown States small, so the nation was easier to control. They had isolated, so it was easier to exert power over populations. We’d simply taken advantage of that.

Interlude

Template:Cleanup
***EDIT THIS***
Interludes are chapters narrated from the point of view of a different character to the main narrator, Sylvester (excepting two arcs, all normal chapters are from his point of view). This is not always the same character throughout the interlude. They are normally in third person as opposed to the usual first person. Interludes occur at the end of each arc, and Wildbow adds more in the middle as Donation bonuses, released whenever certain donation milestones are reached.

Interludes don't repeat a certain character unless they have gone through a major personality shift. They are important to the main storyline - The Rebels was first revealed in an interlude, and the interlude from The Duke's POV is incredibly relevant to the following chapters. Often, they are used to further the plot in ways the main characters don't realise, or simply to add colour to the Twigverse. Many interludes feature characters who were considered as protagonists for Twig, and so they are very detailed and have interesting backstories rather than simply being plot dispensers.

## Trivia

* An early interlude is from Brutus' point of view, and is written as though it were a transcript of his thoughts.

Lamb Sign Language

A system of hand signs that the lambs developed to non-verbally communicate with each other.

## Particulars

It can be used from within the pocket, against a surface, or freehand where anyone can see.

It is non-intuitive with particular signs for concepts and best used with an understanding for the interlocutors mental process. It started with a base of six signs and spiraled out from there.

It is essentially made up on the spot and heavily reliant on the interlocutors being aware of each others thought processes.

## Short hand

Mind - *three fingers together*

* hard thinking, maths, Academy science, logic, cold analysis - *three fingers up tall, all touching*
* soft, abstract thinking - *fingers down*
	+ thumb in front the three fingers - *interpersonal thinking*
	+ thumb behind the three fingers - *inspired or artistic thinking*

### People

Appellations for various people are based on a combination of signs.

Mary - *cutting metal dancer*

Sylvester - *small poison man*

The Duke - *crown gold*

Tender Mercies - *gentle sugar gentle kill*

Infante - *crown tall*

1. ↑ Why did it feel like Walter was the one concerned with this lie about his father standing up? Not about himself, not about reconciling who his dad was, or the betrayal…

He was lying about something.

Gordon opened his mouth to speak, I moved my hand, where it was right by my pocket, a small spreading of my fingers, and the motion was enough to catch Gordon’s eye.

“Tell me, Wally, do you really think what you’ve given us is good enough?”

“It’s true!” Walter said, suddenly alarmed.

People rarely sounded more like they were lying than when they protested like that. - Excerpt from Cat out of the Bag 2.3
2. ↑ The hand signals used by the Lambs. They had started off simple, covering a variety of bases, and in Jamie’s mind, every last one had had a color, a general shape, and a lot of the vocabulary, spacings and timings of events were similar within a color or key gesture. - Excerpt from Interlude 15.x
3. ↑ “You sat down and worked this out? A special language, for all of you?”

“No,” I said. “It evolved naturally. We bullshit it half the time and trust the others to figure out what we mean.”

“Okay,” he said. “You think they hear us?” - Excerpt from Lamb to the Slaughter 6.7
4. ↑ Wonder was inspiration, which fell into the mind gesture. Mind was three fingers together. Mind became different things depending on context, the rigidity of fingers changed. Three fingers up tall, all touching, was hard thinking, maths, Academy science, logic, cold analysis. Bring the fingers down and it became soft, abstract thinking, which often became one of two different things if the thumb was in front or behind the three fingers. Interpersonal thinking for the former, inspired or artistic thinking for the latter.

Of the most basic signs, each one flowed into the other. Each one assigned a color, it allowed colors to blur or mix, for categorizations to find shades of color alongside the general shape of the signs, for easy identification. - Excerpt from Interlude 15.x

Sometimes there are other characters, like Sadie, who is mean and angry, or Sable, who works with animals, and there are lessons with-”

“I know the books,” Duncan said, cutting Ashton off. They were part of a series that taught about social mores, emotions, and patriotism to the Crown.

“That you need to weigh your wants, needs, and feelings and make sure that they aren’t keeping your betters from doing their jobs.”

“It’s supposed to be that you have to watch that your wants and feelings don’t infringe on the needs, wants and feelings of others.”

“But in the story, the new teacher that Sadie is mostly being mean to is supposed to be allegorical,” Ashton said. “She represents the hard working and well-intentioned leadership we have in the Crown and the Academy and the story is really about how we need to listen to them and then everything is better.”
[...]
“You’re not supposed to recognize the hidden influences and meanings and take them as fact, Ashton.”

“I grew up with the books, and when the world and the people around me seemed very strange, I thought about the books. I think it would be strange to rely on them that much and miss something like that.” - excerpt from Interlude 16.x

Academy

A scientific institution indebted to the discoveries of Wollstone.

## Modus operandi

Are infatuated with control and perpetuation of the system. Individual Professors are of course different but all scramble for influence.

## Structure

The Organization is a decentralized collections of campuses. They don't truly have a leadership among themselves so much as each answering to the King and the Nobility.

## History

### Background

Have been in existence in one form or another for a century.

## Notable members

* Specialists
* Students
Reynard Dufort

 Weight
 Position
 Alignment
 Ability Type
 Goal

One of the defining faces of Bastion, Reynard frequently meets new recruits as they pass through the training camp he leads. Even though he seems easy going, he is quite aware and interested in the people he meets. His outgoing personality and involvement with those around him have earned Bastion's irritation and wariness, as he tends to disregard orders and established beliefs to do what he thinks is right. However, his skill and dedication to Bastion are true, and he is genuine in words and action.

## Personality

ENFP
Reynard is defined by his openness and warmth. He has never turned down the chance to listen to someone's life, and has been known to sit for hours on end as a friend pours out his heart. Due to his experience and ability to remain level headed in any situation, he provides encouraging advice to the lost, and unconditional comfort those who need simply another person.

As a result of his stubbornness, however, he often butts heads with Bastion. He is known to disobey orders, instead rescuing injured comrades even if would threaten the entire team's success. In addition, he gets involved in business **he** deems to be important, leaving behind other responsibilities. He has not held an administrative position in years, and has been told to simply ensure that recruits are stable and ready for service.

## Ability

### le Shaper de Terre

The ability to reform an object with a strike. His ability can only be used on inanimate solids. Part of the object he strikes changes shape as he wills. It reliably creates defensive barriers, but can also attack nearby enemies if need be. His manipulation range is 3 meters from the impact of his hand. The transformation speed directly varies with the power he puts into his blow. At standard strength, he can form a 2 meter high wall from the earth in .2 seconds.

## Relationships

* Alexandre Degaré: He has known Alex almost since the younger man had joined Bastion. Both he and Alex were extremely close to another man, who eventually fell victim. They have continued their friendship in spite of the loss. Reynard makes it a point to have a drink with Alex every week if possible.
* Cécile Lapointe: ?
* Evelyn Dufort: See sidestories

## Trivia

* Although he drinks for socializing, he prefers hot cocoa.

Experiment

The twisted Academy creations that pollute the world. They come in a wide variety of forms and functions. All have expiration dates.

Mass produced academy creations that are available to the public may not count as experiments but could be treated similarly. Nobility technically counts given their makeup but like any hypocrisy inherent in a system it instead gives them overwhelming privileges.

There are various protocals on how to deal with experiments. Even sapient experiments are generally not given a name and referred only as 'experiment'.

2. ↑ **Composite** - Individuals formed of many pieces or parts. Parts may be flesh or flesh and machinery. Parts may be interchangeable, either in the short or the long term. Includes those who are physically reworked to accept external parts. Stitched and chimera fall into this category. Often physically oriented.
Lambs: Gordon, Emmett, Hubris
Enemy examples: Sub Rosa, Warren, Emily, Dog & Catcher, Avis. - ehat did i do to deserve this
3. ↑ **Lab Rat** - Individuals who maintain regular treatment, dosage, or alterations that alter them, often with an emphasis on the mind or allowing additional capabilities. Often fit somewhere on a sliding scale where, at the one end, they can self dose (Wry Man) for relatively mild gains, or moderate gains at a tradeoff, and at the other end, they require facilities. The subject may change in the long term as a result of sustained treatment, often with gains in one respect and losses in another. The mind is almost always affected as a consequence of ongoing treatment.
Lambs: Sylvester, Jamie
Enemy Examples: Genevive, the Devil, Noreen. - ehat did i do to deserve this
4. ↑ **Vat Babies** - Experiments born in a lab, not a womb. Typically very carefully raised from an early point, with accelerated aging through the early years, careful training and adjusted metrics, as they are built for a special task. Mind and body may be altered as part of the ongoing process, but are often a roll of the dice in terms of the doctor's ability to control the end result. Includes wholly original life and clones. There is an emphasis here on capabilities, or on utility, either directly (Ashton) or indirectly (Mary; priming her for training, mindset).
Lambs: Helen, Mary, Ashton, Lara, Nora
Enemies: The Four Humors, The Ghosts. - ehat did i do to deserve this
5. ↑ In terms of greater non-Lamb experiments (am thinking bigger picture here), I'd say there's a fourth category, **Beast/Monster**, but the category, by definition, wouldn't encompass any Lamb but Quinton, and possibly the likes of Petey. - ehat did i do to deserve this

Cynthia Imlay

Originally part of the special operations of an academy. Before she went on to lead a section of rebels named the Spears.

## Appearance

Initially she is noted for her great beauty. After Espirit de Corpse 5.x she is badly burned by the lambs. When next we see her in Tooth and Nail 7.9, she is noted to have artificial skin that doesn't fold right and crease quite right

1. ↑ "“The only reason I haven’t left the room yet is that I’m trying to gauge if I could get away with slitting his throat,” Cynthia said, raising her eyes from the table to look at Fray.  She smiled in a way that made it clear her skin wasn’t proper skin.  The creases were too ill-defined in places, too forced in others.

*It might become more like ordinary skin in time,* I mused." -Tooth and Nail 7.8
Falconer

*"I won't spoil the conclusion if you're eager to see this through."*

This article contains **MAJOR SPOILERS** relating to
some of the most pivotal parts of Twig. Although all articles may contain spoilers, this article ****will reveal major plot twists**** and should almost certainly be avoided unless you have finished the story.

Where do the children go?

Was seen at the baron Richmond's wedding with the lord Infante. Has very good presentation.

## Trivia

* The way she is described in story should be a major clue.

1. ↑ And the young lady… about my age, and undoubtedly a noble, was leaner than her guardian and relative. Statuesque, with the man’s fey glittering eyes, yet with none of the apparent humor behind them. I wanted to despise her by default, to hate her, and I couldn’t find a flaw to pick at, to latch on to. Not overdone, but not so indistinct as to be lost amid all of the other worked beauties. Her features were soft, her almond eyes green and cold. Her costume, and I didn’t have a word for it otherwise, was black, half-dress and half-suit, with calf-length leather boots and a fine leather falconer’s glove on her right hand, though she had no bird with her. She stood with one hand on her hip, body askew, glove hanging at one side, and she made it look natural. Raven hair hung down one side of her head, exposing only the one ear, which had black jewels set into it.

She looked like the sort of noble I might have wanted to be, had I been one. Whoever had decided on her aesthetic had made good choices, ones that I suspected made a great deal of sense, with attractiveness as a byproduct. I suspected it all flowed seamlessly, in a way that made me think of the artistry behind Helen. That design was almost enough to distract me from the situation. The situation was bad. - Excerpt from In Sheep’s Clothing 10.17
