Characters

Colonial

The Colonial is a small, brick-shaped, immobile organism. It is a posthuman creature, once a transhuman Star Person, but was forcefully devolved by the invading Qu. It has a pitiful and horrifying appearance. Despite its form, it can hear and speak through an unseen orifice, though its voice is a feeble croak. It lives a tortured, sad existence and is desperate for companionship.

The entire surface of the planet is now covered in fields of Colonials, a pitiful and horrifying descendant of humanity forcefully created by the Qu from Star Person survivors. Most Colonials cannot speak, but you find one in the interlocking Colonial field who can not only speak through an unseen orifice, but also hear you, though its voice is a feeble croak.
