To fully explain the Cryptidness of a Country/Government Personification; such as Gov and Assistant, we need to break it down into four parts.

1 - Human Forms

2 - Casually Monstrous

3 - Comprehensible Horror

4 - Incomprehensible Horror

Of course, examples and comparisons (usually between Gov, Assistant and the States) will be necessary to explain to my best abiltiy. And what Personifications actually are will be explained in a different post.

Let’s start with something simple; Human Forms!

---------

Human Forms

So, a Government’s human form is similar to a States’; uncanny and wrong in every possible way, but there’s an undertone of…something. It feels as if you’re looking at something you shouldn’t, something your eyes should just glide over because your mind can’t comprehend it.

However, because of their strong Do-Not-Notice-Me aura, this is only ever recognized when they want it to be.

Unlike other personifications Do-Not-Notice-Me, which drops and fades when they’re weak/sick or when they cause enough of a ruckus, Government’s aura’s get stronger when they’re weak/unable to control it (no matter how much of a scene they cause, no one will see through it). This can result in no one even seeing them, let alone comprehending they exist. Photos and videos are ill-advised unless the government personification is willing and informed beforehand, lest your camera system implode on itself.

Otherwise, they function pretty much the same as any other personification.

---------

Casually Monstrous

This is more common when they’re pissed off or trying to threaten someone.

As seen in ‘Under My Protection’, Robin’s teeth get incredibly long and sharp, mouth growing wider than should be possible (like a snake), and her nails grow into claws. Her eyes become black irises on white seclera and white pupils.

Her environment shifts to be dark, not without light but as if the shadows are corporeal and blocking the way. Many eyes of different sizes, but all the same black iris and white pupils, open along the shadows.

Gov grows scales along his arms, nails also turning to claws, and his already prominent canines lengthen and curve, like venomous snake fangs on the top and bottom rows. The bitemark he leaves has four fang holes, with the top two being larger and deeper, but the rest of the bite looks like pinpricks.

He gains four extra eyes, incredibly small to the point no one really notices until he looks directly at them. Both sets are next to each other beneath his regular eyes. His eyes are bright green, with a similar pattern to a snake, but his pupils are more eagle-like.

These forms are usually only done when they don’t plan on leaving someone alive, but there are certain situations where killing them doesn’t give them what they want.

Seeing these forms with their Do-Not-Notice-Me dropped even slightly can start to fracture someone's perceptions. This mental fracture can be healed overtime with care, but leaves them more susceptible to further physical deterioration and mental decay. Of the two, Robin is Casually Monstrous the most.

---------

Comprehensible Horror

A taste of the gods in human bodies, a small piece of a greater whole molded to fit their own needs. They are massive, horrific, but with the Do-No-Notice-Me they can be seen and comprehended in small doses by whom they choose to be.

Adam takes the form of a snake, burrowing close to the core of the earth beneath the heart of the America. Six eyes catch every movement as his massive form blends into the shadows, fitting and hiding in places he should not fit. Able to change his size, but can not get longer than than 5,800 miles (the approximate length of the USA). He remains coiled and slightly smaller, in order to move around a little easier, but he is still enormous most of the time.

Robin gets tall–a little shorter than Hyperion, she can’t fit most places, but can force herself into a smaller body— minimum of 20 feet tall. A total of eight arms, the ‘human’ set remains clasped in front of her for the most part. Her two main eyes are shut, with one on her forehead and several on the backs of her hands, as well as the ones in the corporeal shadow walls. Extra limbs may extend from the shadows as well, usually elongated and bony. Her body is made entirely of shadows and light. She doesn’t take this form often, but when she does come out Adam likes to shrink and coil around her shoulders like a feather boa.

They may be horrifying and inhuman creatures, but they are still in love.

---------

Incomprehensible Horror

When every Government and Assistant personification merges, you get the incomprehensible horrors that are Infinity and Eternity.

A mix of Everything and Nothing, their true forms cannot remain on Earth for long– far too large and imposing, too dangerous to look at. To look at their true forms is deadly, your atoms split and burn into nothing.

If they wish to have a bit more class, to be able to converse even slightly with the Earthly Personifications they represent, they will take the form of something earthly– animals, humans, natural monuments–, goliaths in the astral plane between Empty and Full. They always look like a shifting universe, endless stars and color and darkness. Their eyes are always glowing white and pupiless, their mouths a black hole.

Their eyes project a million rebirths and a million deaths of the universe, a cloud of genesis and ending in their gaze. The sound like every voice in every language all at once– unless they purposefully try to communicate in one language–, but they sound like nothing at the same time.

They are things the human mind can’t comprehend, let alone attempt to describe. Their presence fills the air with a pressure that rips you apart at the seams.

I like the “big” changes from T—all the hair, ESPECIALLY the facial hair, deeper voice, bottom growth, etc, but I’m like obsessed with the little things. My hairline is changing!! My hands & feet are getting veiny. Can’t wait to go back to the gym & see if it’s easier to make gains >:)

#gymming was nigh impossible in the first semester 😔#but I’m returning to my roots (bouldering & lifting) soon #kenny.txt

ace fits the cowboy archetype not just because of his goofy hat and nomadic lifestyle—he’s polite, too: no ma’am; yessir; pardon me; after you.

@morrogatari this is roughly what i would have done if she was a “messenger of a god” by the way maybe a little more cropped than it is now. i have her like reaching to the sky in like a prayer kinda motion?? reachin out to ya god yk and the cloth over her eyes as the see no evil thing you mentioned but also the eye as in the “she sees everything” and the halo light thing and the hands reaching for her listen those are hands pretend they’re reaching up to her from below okay

#thank god i didn’t do this cause i would have never figured out how to do this properly #but also like i like this so much better than what i have rn #don’t expect too much from it #it’s a lot less interesting than this one #i’m trying to figure out how to render #and i think my artstyle might have changed since i started #so #dawg i got a math test tomorrow that i have Not studied for #i’m returning to my roots #ninjago #the preeminent #i’m scared i haven’t posted in so long #jellos scribbles
