Updated Instrumen ref sheet!

This is an open species that anyone can create, and if you do I would love to see them. Just use #instrumenoc and/or #instrumenspecies

I have created a brief overview of the important stuff so if anything doesn’t make sense feel free to ask! I will definitely go more in depth in the future, sorry if things sound a little repetitive.

Brief overview

Instrumen are immortal humanoid lifeforms that used to live in harmony with humans. They have been around for as long as humans have existed. One day out of selfishness, humans decided that they wanted to play music for themselves and hunted down as many Instrumen they could until they were nothing but heads to play. Lots of Instrumen ended up taking refuge in a realm called Instrapolis. This realm was created by The Organ and he is the largest Instrumen and he is considered the heart of Instrapolis.

Much of history has been lost on both sides. Modern humans have nearly no recollection of the beings and the Instrumen have no knowledge of what the human realm is like in the present. Instrumen also cannot grasp the concept of women, they believe them to be mythical creatures that have gone extinct because of mankind’s cruelness to their species. Some even believe that they haven’t existed at all!

The size of the instrument heavily influences an Instrumen’s body shape and height. A tuba for example is a very big instrument in both width and length, so tubas tend to tower over much smaller instruments such as flutes, which are generally much smaller and thinner. Generally, all Instrumen take a more masculine appearance with their he/him and or they/them pronouns. They also have names that usually correspond with whatever instrument they are.

Instrumen originate from instruments being built. The Organ takes instruments and constructs them into Instrumen. This is done by binding them to a specific suit that is seen as their default appearance. These specifically tailored outfits are the only things they can wear in their original form. In their human forms, they can change their clothes to whatever they please (human made or Instrumen made). In their original forms, Instrumen are susceptible to having their heads removed, usually by people taking them off. However, this isn’t typically a threat for taller Instrumen. If their main suit is damaged in their original form, the suit will go flat and their head will pop off. If their head is somehow removed from their main suit in their original form, they still have consciousness but they cannot speak nor can they move.

Below are some height comparisons!

I’m making a Google doc with all my OC information along with art I’ve gotten from other artists! I’ll post it on here at some point but it’s something to look forward to in the future. I’ve been having so much fun writing it.

I haven’t drawn Brass in ages let alone digitally. But making this made me realize I need to update my Instrumen species ref sheet and like rank uniforms and all that jazz (pun intended)
