I did [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/3852979]a thing![/url] Namely details on Sweethearts once I spend another Might point on them. It's way long, again, and honestly does not affect anyone yet. Eventually they might be a useful-ish resource, though.

Open to lots of suggestions or interpretations on the drug mechanics, it's meant to be whatever you all find potentially interesting.

[hider=tl;dr]
here we go.
>so we got sweethearts right
>they're called that because they're literally just flying hearts with tentacles
>that are the size of poodles
>and their tongues are arc welding torches
>if you kick them they bite reflexively
>with an arc welder
>it hurts

>seriously though they're actually just meant to be crewmen on the arks
>hence the blowtorch and wire cutters and all the other stuff they can have in their mouth

>they have a lot of weird eldritch shit inside them that fuels them
>it doesn't spontaneously generate they need to eat to keep themselves topped up
>while they're in space though it means they go nyooom
>NYOOOOOOOM

>they can form populations from only two parents without being inbred rednecks
>because reasons
>no incest taboo gender or social hierarchy fuck that shit
>they're basically bonobos

>when they're born they're basically just hearts
>need to be implanted in a body to grow up
>usually that means an ark breeding pod
>or, with surgical intervention, someone's unfortunate cow
>mooooooo
>then they crawl out of the cow grow to full size live to the ripe old age of fifteen and promptly die
>it's not actually fun crawling out of the cow though it's kind of depressing for them
>everything is

>see the thing is sweethearts are the cutest, most innocent little bundles of love you can imagine
>EVERYONE is their friend
>that diaphane that just ate their mother?
>friend
>the guy who raised them to be systematically slaughtered?
>friend
>that lady who uses them as slaves on her biotech project?
>friend
>they are really fucking clueless
>like not kidding here they are dumber than a sack of bricks

>so yeah sweethearts don't understand the concept of violence
>or taking advantage of others
>to them it's just really sad and confusing when things get hurt
>even if those things were trying to eat them and they bit them by reflex
>they'll deliberately try not to bite things even if they're about to die
>being wild in galbar gets real depressing for them real fast unless they have constant safety and affection
>unfortunately for them there's a reason for people to give them both

>see the reason sweethearts go NYOOOOOM is because they were originally built to get chased and eaten by diaphanes
>and to motivate the diaphanes each sweetheart gave them a caffeine sugar rush
>but diaphanes are basically just really hungry rainbow ghosts
>it takes a lot to get them high
>so what's caffeine to diaphanes is cocaine to everyone else

>what happens when you eat a sweetheart is two things
>first you get really, REAlly smart
>or at least as smart as you could have been if you hadn't slept in Chem
>you delinquent
>anyway
>then you insta-read everything Friedrich Nietzsche ever wrote, forget your morals, and go Full Nihilist
>at least to the extent that you know it's not going to mess you up when the high wears off
>like you might not be a super genius because of this stuff but you're smart enough not to ruin yourself
>it's kind of weird and I didn't put as much philosophical thought into it as I should have
>can be exploited for good or evil, but is generally just used for personal satisfaction in whatever form

>also it slowly gives you the munchies for human flesh did i mention that
