Divulgars

Divulgars are creatures from the Slenderverse-adjacent ARG Pie Writes.

Divulgar Blood
Divulgar Blood is usually plum in color and has the random uncontrollable effects of a creature called a divulgar. When injected into the bloodstream the blood can alter anything about you. Those whose bodies reproduce the divulgar blood seem to have divulgaric episodes that cause them to act unusually for short periods of time. The complementary color of the favorite color of a divulgar blooded individual is called their divulgaric color. Being over exposed to their divulgaric color can trigger divulgaric attacks. These attacks have been described as the following, "Divulgaric episodes are the same person but mentally overwhelmed from access to it's affects. Think of it as trying to finish 50 college grade math tests under a minute while all the teachers are yelling numbers at you. Sometimes you just give up and listen to the one yelling the loudest." Altering is the divulgars’ special ability. It’s a way to alter, or change, reality.

2012 Divulgar Knowledge
As of 2012, there were 5 documented types of divulgar. Their blood is all the same as using the blood of one type will not result in the same type of divulgar. How it is decided is unknown and assumed to be up to chance of anomaly. In order of highest average anomaly effect and control from greatest to least is the Pyrite’s divulgar, the Hybrid divulgar, the Ridge’s divulgar, the eye-crested divulgar, and the crown-backed divulgar.

Pyrite's Divulgar
The Pyrites Divulgar is recognized by its layers of teeth, pie-shaped pupil, triple finned tail, and rarity. The rarest of the divulgars are named Pyrites as finding one is a testament of sheer bad luck rather than good. Like the Ridge's divulgar, they have an idea of morals and right from wrong, but to a destructive extreme. If what they think is right is challenged, they have the most control and the strongest anomaly effects than any other divulgar. Along with their rarity comes even more unknowns. Contact with one is highly not recommended. Their levels of control means they are capable of disguise and could look like any non-feral or feral as they wish.

Hybrid Divulgar
Hybrid divulgars are manipulative and tend to favor no visual changes to their appearance that could be seen as alarming. Only ranked higher than the other divulgars for high levels of intelligence making better use of the effects they can control. Usually, these divulgars can become curious and devious, often testing their own limits at the cost of others lives. They may even attempt to resemble other divulgars or find ways to make themselves more dangerous. Most are only distinguishable as appearing to have 3 hybrids, the 2 being their natural hybrid, the 3rd being of their design. They often have troubled pasts that they become obsessive of.

Ridge's Divulgar
Ridge's divulgars are named after the first openly divulgar being. A writer named Ridge in ancient Aztec culture documented their appearance and behavior in the wish to become a part of history. This divulgar is distinguished by black and white pupiled eyes, often shaggy fur, a jaw capable of repelling from the face like that of a goblin shark, and hands whose appearance seem to be adored by loons. They often pursue a passion and are generally goal driven. Many have pursued religion and have made their way into history using their abilities to further humanity all while usually remaining anonymous.

Eye-crested Divulgar
The eye crested divulgar bares an eye-crested halo illusion over its head and at the end of its tail resulting in a total of 13 eyes, two of which are their primary sight and are similar to goat pupils. With 4 arms, 4 ears, twisting rams horns, and upside down crow wings, many have been mistaken for gods or mythical beasts in history. Many times this divulgar will seek out to become what people think of it and morph itself to fit their perspective. They tend to put less thought into their actions and can cause more harm than good. Often this divulgar will find itself at odds with the Ridge's divulgar due to conflicting views, often resulting in slaughter of one or even both divulgars in battle.

Crown-backed Divulgar
Crown backed divulgars are distinguished by its slit eyes, spine extruding from its lower back, tall horns, long claws, and long tongue. It’s often mistaken for the eye crested divulgar but only bears a single eye crested halo illusion over its head. These are the most harmless divulgar as they live long enough that they usually bury themselves out of boredom before they age. Most are only seeking to find entertainment.

Hadal Divulgar < v >
The hadalpelagic or hadal divulgar is the focus of the research involved with DATRRS by using a conduit divulgar to mitigate the effects of a hadal divulgar. They share the same notched pupil as the false divulgar suggesting that false divulgars see their facade as a better choice. Unlike any other divulgar, the Hadal divulgar has blue blood that is specific to its divulgaric type meaning any previous rules or standards on the other types may not apply to this type. Further research is required to learn more, but caution is required.

Conduit Divulgar < 0 >
The Conduit divulgars have no unique features as they change to loosely resemble the divulgar they are channeling the effects of. Represented with a circle around the symbol of the type of divulgar they are channeling, creating DATRRS has enabled them to channel divulgars out of reach of them, causing various deaths in the area. The only way to prevent them from using their effects is to cut off the source telepathically, or by using the blacklisting system on DATRRS to disconnect the divulgar being channeled.

False Divulgar < Q >
False divulgars were originally called Pyrite’s divulgars until further research suggested they are only illusions created by other divulgars, often appearing in dreams or seeming like a real divulgar when blood is added to an object. This is more of an effect than a divulgar.

Hybrid Divulgar (Update) < X >
Hybrid divulgars are generally manipulative and prefer to leave their appearance unchanged until it is necessary. When enraged their body can distort like that of divulgar-blooded objects. Their manipulativeness makes them a focus of most crown backed divulgars as they find hybrid lives more entertaining. But hybrid divulgars have a hate for conduit divulgars as they prefer to be the only one with power. Often hybrid divulgars hunt conduit divulgars mercilessly as the conduits are generally only feral minded creatures who, like parrots, copy what they hear.

Eye-crested Divulgar (Update) < - >
Eye-crested divulgars are identified by a pair of goat-like eyes that they can swap with any of 13 eyes on their body or halo illusions. Due to wanting to please people they often alter their appearance to match what people think of them, making many mistake them for gods or mythical creatures, earning eye-crested divulgars the nickname, Beast of Many Names. This puts eye crested divulgars at odds with the ridges divulgars due to moral differences. This can lead to a battle killing one or both divulgars.

Ridge's Divulgar (Update) < . >
Ridge's divulgars are named after an ancient Aztec divulgar who documented his appearance. They are identifiable by a long curled tail, goblin shark-like moving jaw, human hands adored by loons, and white pupils with a black eye. They often have problems finding purpose in life, sometimes leading to extravagant goals and taking part in religions. Described as a feeling of a need to become more than you are, it becomes a hard reality to satisfy. They are the most common yet unable to be channeled by conduit divulgars.

Crown-backed Divulgar (Update) < | >
Crown backed divulgars are identifiable by their snake-like eyes, and spine extruding from anywhere along their back, long claws, long horns, long tongue, and long claws. They are the most harmless divulgar and only are feral minded creatures that get bored very easily. They often bury themselves out of boredom despite a long life span. Divulgar blood injected into a feral results in death meaning how ferals become divulgars is still unknown.

< Q > False Divulgar
Only an illusion created by the conduits in people's dreams. (Untyped)

< X > Hybrid Divulgar
The second rarest and rather dangerous. (Non-feral)

Hybrid divulgars rarely stray from their original non-feral appearance. They are usually manipulative and obsessive. Hybrid divulgars are often followed by crown-backed divulgars for entertainment. Hybrid divulgars hate and will hunt conduit divulgars to keep themselves harder to notice.

< - > Eye-crested Divulgar
The third most common and dangerous. (Non-feral)

Eye-crested divulgars have 2 goat pupils that can swap places with any of their 13 eyes while the rest of their appearance depends on their surroundings. They are usually looking to please others. Eye- crested divulgars usually are enemies with Ridge's divulgars due to conflicting views.

< | > Crown-backed Divulgar
The most common and harmless. (Feral)

Crown-backed divulgars have slit pupils, a portion on their spine extruding from their back, long claws, horns, and tongue. They are very bored and will bury themselves out of boredom before they become old. Hybrid divulgars are often followed by crown-backed divulgars for entertainment.

< . > Ridge's Divulgar
The second most common and not as dangerous. (Non-feral)

Ridge's divulgars have white pupils on black eyes, long tail, human hands, and a goblin shark-like jaw. They have a keen sense of morals and often seek to become something bigger than themselves. Eye-crested divulgars usually are enemies with Ridge's divulgars due to conflicting views. Ridge's divulgars are never followed by conduit divulgars.

< 0 > Conduit Divulgar
The third rarest and mostly harmless. (Feral) Conduit divulgars change their appearance based on the person they stalk. They like to stalk a singular person to antagonize them with paranoia. Being near one can cause rare dreams that relate to the fears the conduit divulgar thinks the person they stalk may have. Hybrid divulgar hate and will hunt conduit divulgars to keep themselves harder to notice. Ridge's divulgars are never followed by conduit divulgars. When a conduit divulgar follows a hadal it results in the conduit's death or severe alteration.

< V > Hadal/Hadalpalegic Divulgar
The rarest and the most dangerous. (Unknown type)

Hadal divulgars have notched pupils and unique blue divulgar blood compared to the others who are plum blooded. Their common behavior is unknown. Their relations with most other divulgars are unknown. When a conduit divulgar follows a hadal it results in the conduit's death or severe alteration. Keep away from them for everyone's safety.

Hadal Blood
"'All divulgar blood has vanished and become hadal blood, I'm now realizing hadals are not divulgaric at all, but its own type of being. While having divulgar blood does not make you a full divulgar, having hadal blood does make you a full hadal.' - Julian Moore"Hadals are beings capable of reality bending abilities called altering. They have no control over their abilities until they lose control of themselves. They often are more unpredictable and have a limit that when pushed past it they lose all control. Their favorite color causes a more calming effect and their divulgaric color causes them to become more irritated, but neither have as much of an effect as they did on divulgars.

When given a full blood transfusion with hadal blood the body will begin reproducing hadal blood and they will become a full blooded hadal. This however leaves a 50% chance survival rate as hadal blood is difficult for the body to learn to process. When a small amount is injected into the bloodstream the body can reproduce partial hadal blood if it accepts it, meaning they have more tame hadal effects.

When consumed, hadal blood can suffice as a food and water source but also strain the mind of the consumer, cause auditory and visual hallucinations, and slowly alter the mind while it is still in their system. Being in contact with hadal blood for extended amounts of time can cause someone to become addicted to its presence, their mind slowly become strained, and be slightly altered by it. These effects occur in hadal masks that contain the blood.

When the wearer loses control of themselves they can access altering abilities and the mask will morph in shape. Using a hadal mask is the only way to access altering without having any hadal blood in your system. Hadal blood on its own acts as regular blood in coloring but can be distinguished by turning blue when it is very cold. The blood's effects become stronger when colder, making most hadals prefer warmth for relaxation.

Full blooded Hadals have a 50% chance of understanding and speaking an unknown language currently with no name or translations available, often they still think they are speaking or writing in plain english. After removing all hadal blood there is another 50% chance of retaining this language and unknowingly swapping languages. This is assumed to be caused by alterations the blood may cause to the brain.
