[I was never supposed to get too attached to this. Originally I was just doodling and wanted to recycle another oc, Extrasensory, into a spider. I'm obsessed and can't look back now lol.]

Calico Carter is a 19 year old college freshman at Centurion University, in Rockfall City. Bitten by a radioactive spider at 16 years old, Cal laid low for 3 years before moving to the city and becoming Mind-Weaver.

Cal's powers consist of the typical stickiness, strength, and hightened senses, with the addition of mind reading and the ability to inflict auditory hallucinations. The mind reading is completely involuntary, a power he can't turn off. This causes him great stress and horrible sensory issues from being constantly overstimulated. His stoner roommate, Guaro, often has to motivate him to go out as Mind-Weaver after a long day.

Valerie is a 20 year old freshman at Centurion University. A mechanical engineering prodigy, she's the assistant to Dr. Olive Octavius

The daughter of Emil Nikos, Valerie is a mercenary for Doc Ock in order to become strong enough to defeat Morbius. She's vaguely vampiric, and wears red eye contacts.

Cassie lives in the city of Glade. Think magical New York City.

Cassie [no last name] is a barbarian who was cursed and mutated by a young warlock/other magic user. He was combined with a gender reveal pigeon which disfigured his face and broke his vocal chords, now unable to make human noises, making him sound like a really big, deep-voiced pigeon. He uses sign language & pen and paper to communicate. He doesnt remember anything before the magic user transformed him, except for the warlock's face. After he was cursed, he was a bouncer at a lesbian bar for a few years, the job being the only one he could get while being masked and w/ no past, there he got his name. After working for awhile in a depressed haze, he decided he was too miserable w/ his life and decided to finally seek out the warlock who cursed him.

Being mixed with a pigeon resulted in many parts of his physiology being busted, such as his homemaking skills becoming garbage and his romantic attraction being completely broken.

Auk's setting is traditional DnD.

Auk Gillie is a young adult Aarakocra, his specific species being similar to a Parakeet Auklet. He is a monk.

Auk was taken in by sea-faring monks who worship Procan, God of the sea, salt, and navigation. Having spend the majority of his life on a boat alone with solitary monks, he has trouble socializing, with very underdeveloped interpersonal skills. Having come from a species with extreme reliance on pack-bonding to survive, Auk is stunted, and prefers to just stay quiet and watch the environment warily as a result.

Coming to a mainland is part of a trial by fire his religion requires. He must map out the entire region and return to his ship, and only then will he be considered an adult. He sticks with his party in order to ensure safe passage across the land. However, he is slowly starting to realise his party may be more trouble than they're worth.

Auk has been consistently bullied by his party members, intentionally or not. This results in Auk believing their behavior towards him is a test from his god, Procan.

Cal, a Variant Human warlock, lives in the city surrounding Centurion University.

His powers include mind reading, with a radius of 250~ acres in all directions, though its not that useful when you have to pick out voices from a crowd under stress. He can inflict auditory hallucinations on others, as well as create a large sonic blast as a last resort.

A lot of H:oPS is loosely based on the theory Galvanism and animal electricity. The planet that the story takes place on is called Salt, with the sapient inhabitants basing large amounts of their culture and knowlege on human projects such as the Golden Record and information capsules shot into space. The events of H:oPS take place millions of years after human extinction due to gradual nuclear fallout. When humans first realised they were all going to die, corporations monetized it, launching heirlooms and family information into space to ensure the people of Earth would not be forgotten.

After human extinction, their cultures in capsule form lingered in space for years and years before a large amount of them crash-landed on a planet of low-sapience, nomadic, large single-celled organisms. These organisms would name themselves 'Leuco', and their planet 'Salt.'

Leuco live in superstructures carved and built into the calcium shells of superstructure-scale sea snails (typically species similar in shape to Horse Conch). The Snail itself is not sapient, but the Shell is. Shells typically harbour up to 6 to 11 million Leuco, all living in the walls of the Shell. The Shell can change forms at will, but the speed at which the form morphs depends on the severity of the situation.

The primary species of Salt are not organically born sapient, but are instead born as an amoeba-like organism, and are imprinted with high-level sentience brain scans from their parents. A person can make a child by themselves, but it's considered taboo both socially and ethically. A Leuco made by a single individual is often emotionally unstable, and has trouble developing an identity. The energy that travels through the water and salt formations of the planet give off low-level sentience. The energy can vary in sentience, the second most common manifestation of mid-to-high sentience energy are storms, heatwaves, and the mechanical and chemical energy required to maintain life inside of a Shell. The most common form of high-level sentience is a Leuco.

If an object is shocked, blasted, or otherwise faced with a high amount of energy, that object can gain a will. This causes the object to have emotions, objectives, and the ability to interact with the world. The object's objectives can be moulded by an alchemist or electromancer, by changing the object's form or using specific temperaments of energy to force upon the object.

A Lithomancer is a Leuco who uses saltwater to flash-form different essential objects. A Tree is a crystalline spire with holes, the wind blows through the tunnels like an instrument and emits a high-pitched, thin whistle. There are membranes of plankton in the tunnels that convert CO^2 into breathable air

With storms rarely come Octopuses, creatures that use electromancy to force their sentience upon creatures. Octopuses use imitation to prey upon Leuco and other organisms, then silently take their place in the Shell or colony. An Octopus is able to read desires through low-sentience brain waves given off by victims that travel through the water, easily spread around by the storm.

Quark was formed independently by her father, Citrinitas, resulting in emotional and physical instability. She's a very strange girl, a little bit too serious and grave at times, with an obsession with symbolism.

At the beginning of the main story, Quark gets drawn in by an Octopus during a storm, and posessed. The only one who is aware she's been posessed is her father. She is currently being cared for by Lodestar in a hospital. The posession, weirdly enough, makes her more normal to the general public despite the bouts of violence she experiences. Quark's posesser uses Quark's position as the daughter of the High Alchemist in order to take over major surveillance operations. If you've watched Adventure Time, it's like Princess Bubblegum's camera room.
