Ampwave

## General Overview

Ampwaves are an open species created by Slumberyote & Wilddogbeats back in early 2016. All of the following info has been taken from the following site. https://www.ampwavespecies.com/. They inhabit a fictional planet known as Sonaris.

## Visual Trait Overview

### Anatomy

An Ampwave's structure is about 70% technology based but they still have blood, bones and some organs. They can still die from injuries during fights and accidents. Some of their “metal” parts are just highly densified bone. Their blood can be red, green or blue. Their blood is also been said to glow! They are sometimes more feral than anthro. They are waterproof, unlike protogens, which tend to spark and fail in water. They do not have any reproductive organs, as they reproduce via a different method. Their parts can be replaced if needed, and the zipper on their mouth is used as a tuner to control the pitch of their voice, which is a motley of recording and any audio they can pick up, including radio stations or spacial transmissions. Over time their systems do break down and become harder to replace.

Ampwave's are vulnerable to viruses and corruption due to the fact Solis and Lumis forgot to give them an anti-virus program.

### Hereditary Diseases/Genetic Illnesses

Some Ampwaves have a dormant virus within them, same as protogens, which activates upon maturity, and it causes them to deviate from their natural behavior in sometimes inconsequential, sometimes major. Rank A's are the most concerning, often attacking others, but retain some degree of control and sanity, sometimes enough to know what they're doing and trying to stop the virus hijacking their system. Rank B's are less concerning, often being able to control the rampages, and prevent themselves from harming anyone. Rank C's can live a completely normal life, the virus they have is weak, and can't fully take over their systems.

There is a rank beyond A, but it is considered a complete subspecies at that point.

### Reproduction

Ampwaves can create other ampwaves by syncing with other technology, though devices with speakers and screens are much preferred.

### Subspecies

#### Confirmed Existence

* Ampwave: BASIC type
* Ampwave: FEATHERED type
* Ampwave: AQUATIC  type
* Ampwave: MICRO type

#### Description

The Prototypes of the species, the original creatures made by Lumis and Solis and are the primary inhabitants of the planet. They are a silicon and carbon-based lifeform, the first attempt to merge the two distinct elements into one entity.

**Features**:

(Most info is on the species guide sheet)

#### Description

Feathered types are found along the sides of cliffs, up on mountains as well as living in small houses built up in trees. These ampwaves love living in Chords (name for a group of ampwaves), usually consisting of 8-20. This type is much more loud in comparison to the other types due to having an extra small speaker located on their tongue. They are diurnal (active in the daytime) and rest during the night. Due to living in groups it is easy for feathered ampwaves to recharge amongst each other but they do often enjoy snacking on insects. Feathered ampwaves are also known for collecting objects and smaller creatures to keep as rewards or for trading amongst their Chord. They cannot fly but they can hover higher and for longer periods of time due to their larger speakers on their hands.

**Features**:

Snout is longer & sharper. Teeth are smaller.

Tuner is often oval shaped.

Eyes have round pupils that dilate when communicating.

Feathered ears often resting back, rarely upright.

Feathers down neck and back. Can sometimes go onto shoulders and chest appearing like a cape.

Neck vent is smaller, chest vents fully wrap around.

Chest screen can be any shape.

Tail is shorter & feathered. Can only have one tail.

Hands are feathered with short claws. Larger hand speakers.

Arms are typically feathered.

Feet paws are similar to a Basic type but has longer claws for gripping.

#### Description

Aquatic types are found deep beneath ocean & lake shores. This type is generally solitary and more territorial being more grouchy in nature when bothered. Due to being often far away from others, aquatic ampwaves sleep roughly for 18-20 hours a day to save and recharge their energy. Unlike Basic ampwaves, this type is found eating smaller prey such as fish, crustaceans and smaller mammals.  They can from time to time explore land as they are not bound to be fully aquatic but they cannot hover with their speakers like other ampwave types. Some can be found living in forest areas as well but usually not far from water.

**Features**:

Snout is more rounded & less blocky.

Tuner on side of mouth is typically fin shaped.

Eyes have waved pupils.

Double ears, droopy & never upright. At least one speaker per ear, maximum is 3 per ear.

Back of neck & center of the back has metal spine fins.

Vents are thinner, has side of neck “Gill” vents to extract water.

Hands are wider with small metal claws. Speakers under hands help propel through water.  ​Can have up to two under hand, never on upper side of their hands.

Chest screen can be any shape.

Tail is thicker and has a fin like shape. (See example below) Can only have one tail.

Feet paws do not have claws. Similar paw pad wise to Basic ampwaves. Speakers found under feet to help propel them through water.

Fur is generally very short, never long haired. Can have hair tufts.

#### Description

Micro types, also known as Fairy types, are located deep in the Luminous Forest (see World map section for info). They make their homes deep below the roots of the giant Lumin trees and are essentially the energy controllers of the planet. Fairy types are often 2-3 ft tall and possesses the ability to shrink down smaller to flee from enemies. This type is often shy when approaching different ampwave variations and will hide. They are found living in Chords of 6-10 but are known for leaving one Chord for a new one due to lack of space. Known for being a great energy producer, Micro ampwaves are known for being hunted by other variations for energy, commonly more so by the Feathered type so it is not common of them to leave the forest.

**Features**:

Snout is shorter and round with short whiskers.

Tuner on mouth is sharper.

Pupils are star shaped.

Upright more sharper ears, typically possess only one speaker per ear. Sometimes two.

Vents are similar to a Basic Ampwave.

Hands are similar to a Basic ampwaves assortment.

Shoulders have 2 feathers that extend out giving them a winged look. (Cannot fly)

Tails are longer but similar to a Basic ampwaves shape. They can have two tails.

Chest screen is always round in shape, no sharp edges.

Feet are like a Basic ampwave. Speakers are found on their ankles.
#### Unconfirmed to exist

* Ampwave: GLITCHED
* Ampwave : BEAST type
* Ampwave: GHOST type
* Ampwave: CELESTIAL type

#### Description

Glitched types, also known as the Broken, are generally found deep in the Dark Gorge away from other Ampwaves. They are a sneaky type often being very intelligent in luring in ampwaves to destroy them. This type are the remnants from the original Creation that have gone wrong. These are often ampwaves that have been broken or have short fused and fled society. Glitched types are named after their glitched eyes and chest screens. They do not communicate well due to their speakers not functioning completely but are able to live in Chords amongst other Glitched Ampwaves. Broken types can also send signals when catching other ampwaves to distort their systems to create more Glitched types. These Ampwaves are feared among others and are often told as scary stories on dark nights.

**Features**:

They can be any ampwave type but often looking unkept fur wise.

Glitched eyes and chest plate. Often seen with cracks.

Cracked tails and broken claws.

Scars and missing ears, arms or legs. (Not always)

Cracked or broken speakers.

Missing tuner (not always)

#### Description

Beast types also can be called Monster or Kaiju types are found deep in the Missing Canyons or Broken Desert. They are also known for being nomadic and roaming huge expanses of land so they can pop up anywhere to cause problems. This type is known for solidarity not ever being with other ampwaves. Standing at 8ft tall, Beast ampwaves are known for being the most dangerous and if an ampwave was unlucky enough to stumble upon one will most likely meet their end. Beast ampwaves are very aggressive and wild in nature created by Lumis God of the night/ destruction to bring terror and fear. They are said to be based off of Lumis’s features to serve them directly when needed to put Ampwaves that are being out of line in check. Beast ampwaves have jaws that can crush the strongest of metals and a strength that is said to shatter mountains. This type is very uncommon to see due to them being created strictly by Lumis themself. Due to their huge spines they are able to generate enough electricity to corrupt ampwaves as well as destroy them. It is said in stories that if you are alone in the forests and you hear a humming drum of electricity you are about to meet your end.

**Features**:

Blocky snout and very large teeth. Upper fangs usually stick out. They are able to howl and scream to scare or deafen prey.

Tuner is larger and sharp.

Pupils are sharp.

Normally found with head horns but can be without.

Ears are described as jagged in nature possessing one to two speakers.

Vent on neck connects to screen. Vents on sides are jagged.

Screen on chest are typically sharp and not often rounded.

Huge metal spines go down their neck onto their back. There are spines on both halves of the body following between each shoulder.

Speakers on hips and legs.

Hands are large possessing sharp jagged claws with a speaker in each palm.

Tails are large always having at least two tails. Can have more.

Feet are large and have sharp claws that are retractable.

#### Description

Not much is known about these types but they are said to closely follow and take commands from Solis themself. No one has ever seen one before.
## Customs

### History/Lore

The Ampwaves are one of the few species to still be aware of their true origins at the hands of Solis and Lumis. Solis and Lumis has created the Ampwaves as an experiment to see how silicon and carbon-based life could meld together into a set of new beings. This species was wholly successful, and quickly expanded on their planet with their innate knowledge of technology and their powers to control it. With little effort, they rapidly colonized on both their planet and their moon,
