The Fern

The Fern is the originator of the concept of life, death, and function. Initially modelled by The Architect, The Fern takes the shape of a gigantic plant of unknown species, the inner and outer parts of its crust is inhabited by the Shapekin, the Mannequins, and the Unformed. It is said that The Fern itself is continuously growing at a generational rate, until it reaches an apex of growth wherein the universe will be reborn again.

Shapekin
The Shapekin are humanoids native to the Land of Forms, a conceptual reality dreamed of by The Sculptor. They were brought into The Fern after The Architect thought it best to give them a place in reality. The Shapekin are separated into three different subraces: Spheri, Prisms, and Cubis. Each representing a primary shape.

Mannequins
Dead objects given life by a soul transfusion, Mannequins vary in size, shape, and function. Their peak form however is a sculpted humanoid shape capable of free will and intelligence. Most Mannequins are created for a specific purpose, but a lot of them are created through wandering souls seeking a new life.

Unformed
The Unformed are a more refined version of the Shapekin, resembling modern humanoids but not truly. They are a demonic reflection of a Shapekin's soul, brought to life by the universal essence of reality.
