Description WARNING! THIS DESCRIPTION IS SO STUPIDLY LONG, IT'S AMAZING. I MEAN STUPID LONG. LIKE REALLY FREAKING RETARDEDLY STUPIDLY LONG. Have music to listen to while you wait:
[link]

YES. Shut up morgan, i know you hate long descriptions, BUT IT'S KINDOF FREAKING IMPORTANT. JUST SAYING. You can skip it if you want, you know, if you don't love me but i reccomend reading it AT SOME POINT so that Morph will make some degree more sense. Also the fact that here i have COMPLETELY explained the celestial factor.
I'm totally not rocking out intensely to soundtrack music...*cough*
But anyway, really quick before you skip this entire thing, the cat thing (that totally looks like it's in rapture or something) is Sasha in Aurora form, two birds are Gavin in Nova form, and the epic sea creature at the bottom is Eena is Star form.

HAVE FUN READING!




So anyway, here, have celestial concepts!
...what's that, you have no idea what the celestials are because i haven't freaking gotten anything out there about anything in Morph at all?
WELL DAMN I GUESS I GOTTA 'SPLAIN SOME SHIZ RIGHT NOW.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, ...wow you guys don't even know the main characters or...GOOD GOD I AM A FAIL.
*cough* ok so really quick run-down, only 3 of the main five celestials in the story are pictured here ("Jenny there are clearly 5 animals in this picture" shutup you'll find out in a second). The five (why did i say main-five celestials, there's only five celestials, rendering the use of "main" useless (i had 5 cups of coffee today, my brain is gunna be wonky, kay?))
MAIN CHARACTERS who are the celestials in Morph are:
Sasha (main character),
Justin (Second most important main character),
Gavin (Still very important),
Eena (alien species-as important as Gavin),
Katrina (complete asshole, also an alien species, becomes very important later on).
(Alien species = first form was not a human (first-form = the first creature a morph is before they grow up (morph = shapeshifter; main creature species in morph))) Sasha, Justin, and Gavin all started out as humans on Earth. They were also the first morphs EVER to begin as humans; humans are the newest species discovered by the morph world. Morph world/planet is known as Mook. There are 5 other main planets in this story. Back to the point--
They're celestial forms are as follows:
Sasha = Aurora
Justin = Moon
Gavin = Nova
Eena = Star
Katrina = Sun
Celestial: The only 5 forms that can normally not be accessed by normal morphs. There are only five morphs at one time who have the ability to go in and out of what is called the "celestial state," where the morph takes on the celestial form. They can't remain in this state forever; it takes a lot of energy and can kill them if they stay in it too long or use up too much energy. The celestial state is usually not very easy to access nor control without a lot of practice. Usually only extreme emotional outbursts can "trigger" the celestial state until the morph begins to learn how to control the state. Only one of each type of celestial will be alive at one time (all types of morphs can be and usually are present at the same time; e.g., you just can't have two suns living at the same time, ect.). The reason normal morphs cannot take on a celestial form is because the celestial forms should not, in any reality, exist. Morphs can only become creatures that have the POSSIBILITY of existing.

The reason the celestial forms should not, in theory, exist, is because they are made out of pure energy. Light and sound are not living things, but in this case, the morph can shift to become a creature created out of light, and also able to spontaneously emit waves of energy (light, sound, radio, gamma, ect). Creatures in real life can have the abilities to create sounds waves and bioluminecense, but usually it's from a chemical reaction (light) or vibrations in an organ (your vocal chords allow you to create sound). The waves that come off of morphs just kindof...explode out of them. To this day, nobody knows why. In addition to being made out of light waves while still having a definable form, each celestial can remain in the celestial state and shift to forms of a certain type. An example would be in the Star celestial state, the morph is always a sea-form, or a creature that lives in the ocean. It can go to being a fish to a dolphin to an octopus, whatever you can think of that swims. HOWEVER, it CANNOT become something that does not live in the water, like a wolf or bird. Finally, the different celestial states are not interchangeable, with the exception of the Aurora. This means the sun-celestial morph cannot change to be in the moon state, it can ONLY go in and out of the sun-celestial state.

The five celestial forms and what they do are as follows:
* Aurora: The strongest and most versatile form of celestial. It can take on any form that the morph itself knows how to take on, without restriction. It is also able to access all other forms of state, but to a lesser degree as the true celestial (it can mimic the moon celestial, for instance, but doesn't have it's full power). Capable of sending off immense waves of energy, often uncontrollable in early stages.
Appearance: most common shift is into an cat-like creature (very odd, i know). Whatever creature it is looks as though it is composed of the Aurora borealis/australieas, and the colored light tends to fluctuate in brightness. Also, it's very common for color to change with the morphs mood, but only to a slight degree). The area where the iris is always emits colored light the same color as the iris.
Past: Because of how extremely powerful the Aurora is, and the fact that it typically never has a chemical pair-bond, many of the Auroras go insane and power crazy, and have very short lives. However, not all of them are, and the best time periods for morphs thrived under the rule of the Great Auroras, especially the first Aurora, Xandlae.

* Moon: The weakest form in terms of fighting, but makes up for it with the ability to heal others. It can give off light waves that hurts others somewhat, but really is better at keeping other alive. Can only take on land-forms.
Appearance: Glows in a soft white light, usually taking a canine-like form. Eyes glow in the color of the Morph's iris. can dim or brighten it's light, but always emits light. In addition to white, it is known to look like a liquid-silver fire light.
Past:Most of the time, the moon ends up being mated to the sun (But Justin and Sasha just kinda screwed that whole thing up). Never known to have turned evil, has a normal lifespan, if not elongated somewhat.

* Sun: a very strong fighter, and often very much liked by morph society. The sun cannot change into any other form as a the sun, and only remains in a winged-serpent form. The waves it gives off are often incredibly painful waves of heat and fire, and also has the capability to "super-nova" like the nova-morph.
Appearance: appears as a winged-serpent made out of fire; the fire can range anywhere to white/blue-hot to gold to the red of a super-giant star. Iris color glows in the entire spectrum of colors.
Past: Usually the sun is relied on as a leader, especially when the Aurora has gone crazy and must be eliminated. Often seen as very noble, even godly. Katrina and Malakin, the first Sun, seem to not quite fit the description, however...

* Star: The Star celestial is one of the final two oddball celestials, and contain components of both dark and light traits, unlike the other two, which are only composed of light. The star is also a very strong fighter, but instead of relying on sheer force, it relies on stealth. The star can only take on sea-forms. It attacks with concentrated beams of light, or can also simply rip things to shreds in the traditional fighting style.
Appearance: Appears as any form of sea creature appears first. It looks as though the night sky was turned into a cloth and wrapped around the creature, with nebulas and stars visible in the silky blackness of it. Eyes glow like stars.
Past: Usually a neutral character, but also seen as powerful and godlike, but more of a lesser god as compared to the Aurora and Sun. Also, the star and nova celestials almost always end up being pair bonded. The first star was a very kindhearted and humble creature, as well.

* Nova: By far one of the weirdest of the celestials. Can fight well, and like the star, relies on stealth and surprise as means of attack. Can only take on a sky form, but instead of staying in a fixed light-dark form, when ever the wings flap, it fluxuates from light to dark, and can even become entirely visible and hide in the shadows before appearing before any enemy and hitting them with an immense wave of light (like an explosion, hence the name nova *hint hint...(the definition of nova is when a star dies, that's why it explodes kindof)). Like the sun, can attack with an extremely powerful, nearly self-rupturing blast of light with the force of a dying supergiant.
Past: The nova never really stands out as a celestial, and is really only known for being odd and having the ability to become invisible as compared to camouflaging.



WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW FINALLY. good GOD was that long.
ALSO, something VERY IMPORTANT that you will see in morph is the fact that dark is not the same as evil. Dark is even a good thing most times, as important as light is. Just because something is "an element of dark" DOES NOT mean it is evil or bad, it just means it's dark. Likewise, not all things that are "light" are good.
Another things that is VERY common is the fact that the celestials are not gods, even though they are seen as them. It's kinda important, just saying.

Also, sorry Vanessa and Natalie, ima be up finishing the project til late, so you won't see it here tonight

I'M OUT YA'LL! Tell me what you think, and if anything doesn't make sense to you, just ask! I'll be very happy to talk about it

Hey, I don't hate lengthy descriptions, just that last one felt like a history lesson. I don't even know why, I was in a hurry, but you know what?! I read the whole thing for the last one. AND YOU ALSO KNOW WHAT?! I read the whole description for this. ALL. OF. IT. (and I even went back and reread a few parts where I spaced out.)
You know I love you n.n
Anyways, I love Sasha's pose, and her fur is the perfect texture. And for some reason the stars in the background are really awesome. Soundtrack! Oh God, Two Steps From Hell, so freakin beastly~ Here:[link]
Anyways, so far I really love Justin's character. I mean, he gets to be the gentle canine dude, that's so epic. And I think I'll like Gavin and Eena too. But for some reason, Sasha just has to grow on me, I don't necessarily hate her she's just neutral at the moment.
I have a feeling I'll love her later though n.n
Dude, the Nova, sounds so cool. That camo and then the surprise explosion is the coolest tactic I've ever heard of. You should sooo animate that, just this black and white bird all of a sudden up in your face and going all "KA-BOOOOOOOOM." Fun n.n
And just a few questions: When they're like the Moon and the Sun, is that like Luna and....whatever our sun's called, or all of them? Or is it just a title and doesn't really matter?
Wait, and Morphs is like a race that spreads out over the universe, right? It doesn't just limit to the five main ones?
Who exactly is the antagonist in the story? Is it Katrina or is she just a small enemy?
And is that a Tobuscus "WEEEEOOOWWW" at the end?
Oh, and I'm pretty sure you messed up the title for "Star" and put "Stare." (See, I paid attention n.n)

...Well why the hell didn't you just like...leave it there? And walk away? that's what i do!
YEAH, YEAH, READ THE DAMN DESCRIPTION! YOU BETTER LOVE ME! (god i do not wanna finish this English project, but that's ok).
Aw thank you, i couldn't get that pose right for awhile...and i had to put the stars, it was so empty without them! 8D
TWO STEPS FROM HELL IS THE SHIT. Just putting it out there.

Aaaaw yay, you like my first human character i've ever created! (he is, i'm serious. ...he's actual the first character i EVER created that was you know...mine.) And yes, he can't fight to save his balls...his undominant, canine balls XD You'll like them, i promise, Gavin's just so...aw man you'll see. And Eena with her adorable walking-around-naked-ness. AND GODDAMMIT I WILL MAKE IT MY GOAL TO MAKE YOU LIKE SASHA. She will grow on you like a tick. Especially her sarcastic/perverted humor...like this one scene i've had in my head for an incredibly long time where somehow Justin and Sasha bring up the supject of Gavin (who always has enourmus feet and feathercrests) and:
s-"and his big ears"
j-"and big feet"
s"and very very very small---"
j-"SASHA!"
s-*flails around* "well it's true!" and then she starts giggling like crazy and...yeah. It's a fun scene n.n BUT GODDAMMIT YOU WILL LOVE HER.

Nova is a pretty badass power (and crap i forgot about the part where he can act like a black-hole, too, it's pretty legit) and i probably will animate all of them at some point n.n
...
Ok i have no idea what you mean by that question...Lunar and Solar? I dunno, i seriously...have no idea...But i mean the forms they take, the name "sun" is just what that particular form is called. Because it behaves similarly to the sun.

And yes and no. They have the capacity to spread over many planets, but it hasn't really been done yet (there's actually this whole bit later on that i'll talk about, but it's kinda hard to explain right now). Translation: Yes, there are more planets, thousands more, but there's really only a main five that are discussed/morphs haven't spread THAT far yet.

...well now that i think about it...XD i love his "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOW"s XD
and yes. yes i did.

HA! English...
God I love them so much~ Found a lot more soundtrack music these days and I love all of them to pieces. Especially the war ones, like the one I showed you n.n
It's the first that always leave a place in your heart~ y'know even with his unmanly canine balls.
XD so far I think I'll like her. But trust me, if you get me to like a female main character whole heartedly, and find nothing annoying or flawed about them (as a character, I mean) then you will be the most epic writer out there. Just saying.
Black hole?O.o
...epic.
Oh so it's just a title. I was asking because there are different moons and suns out there, so I thought...nevermind.
And did you ever answer the antagonist question?
Can't go wrong with the WEEEEEEEOWS XD

steppingskyward In reply to ReverseMirror [2011-09-27 01:37:09 +0000 UTC]

same here, two steps from hell is awesome. E.S. Posthumus is pretty rad, too.
ehehe his undominant balls...XD
YOU WILL LIKE HER. probably the only things that might annoy you is the fact that she can be really moody, (kinda like i am), but she doesn't whine much, and when she does she usually gets mad at herself for whining and stops. she also repeatedly kicks herself for even the tiniest bit of affection she feels for Justin first off rather than automatically falling head-over-heels for him (she kicks herself for a lot of her stupid behavior, actually). not to mention the trust issues! But she's never really...annoying (you know what i mean). DAMMIT I'LL MAKE YOU LIKE HER. she may not be your favorite, but you will. freaking. like her. as. a character.

yup, black hole! if something gives off a dangerously large burst of energy, it can just suck it all in like a black hole and not even get hurt (not to mention it can also explode it back out).
Well yes it's a title, but...ok. The reason the sun-celestial is CALLED the sun is because its powers resembles that of the sun (meaning it burns and does crap with fire/light). The moon celestial is called the moon because it resembles the moon in the fact that it glows white/silver and can dim or brighten (like the phases of the moon). The aurora looks like the aurora, and so on.
So yeah it's a just a title, the sun state can be any sun, not just ours (which would be stupid anyway; mook doesn't share our sun).
The only thing that's kinda tricky is that the Sun celestial (god i'm like...bipolar with capitalization) has the powers of a single sun/star (suns are stars), while the Star celestial resembles groups of stars and the darkness around them (think of it like a galaxy rather than stars, if it helps).
...If that didn't help at all just pretend i didn't say it.
GODDAMMIT, the answer is yes, it refers to ALL moons/suns/other celestial bodies. Because it'd be kinda stupid if it was just our planet's solar system when Mook is on a different frikin system. Earth pretty much just sits there useless for the main part of the story (this isn't helping, is it?) I can't explain things for shit. (ps, i'm yelling at myself for being a tard, not you n.n)

i thought i did but i might not have. Katrina is both a complete bitch and a very important antagonist in morph. (she's a major character as well, just like Gavin/Justin/all o dem)

She does sound pretty freakin epic, but I'll only believe that once I read Morph and see her character put in action n.n
OOOOh I see! Those were one of the questions that kinda answered itself the more I talked about it, so in retrospect, not a great question. I get where you're going with the answer though n.n
