Flowey (5e Race)

Flowey

“	I wonder... What happens when something without a SOUL gains the will to live?	”
—Entry Number 8, Alphys, True Lab

Flowered Existence

By EnderDude

Floweys resemble humanoid flowers, with a face amid petals that are usually a golden color. Their bodies are a bit weedier and they have vines extending out the sides of their stem which are like thorny, strong arms. Their faces are known to usually look quite friendly, but can take a quick turn for the nasty as they conceal a fanged maw with a decrepit, and often creepy expression.

False Life

This race, made of seemingly normal sentient plants, is one of dark origins. They were created in a lab by a cowardly archmage trying to save the life of the local king's son. She removed the life force from the body, inevitably separating its animus from its actual soul. This was then placed into a flower, making it sentient. Many of these grew in a controlled garden, all the same way. However, without a soul, they lacked empathy and could not feel emotions, even if they retained memories. This made them angry, and they grew brutal and vicious. Eventually, they escaped the laboratory into the outside world. People wonder what happened to them after. The truth is, they'd spread just about everywhere.

Evil Gardens

Floweys like living near humans which they can torment and extract the pleasure of torturing from. Sometimes a bunch of them, called a bouquet, will gather for pollination. If they do not scatter, they will form small communities with heavy connections to the shady side of businesses, working for their own dark, sadistic desires. However, due to their inherently dark natures, they are prone to only short-term arrangements, and bouquets thus never last long. Their loosely organized communities tend to split apart frequently when they feel they no longer have a need for each other or they become bored with one another. However, they do not attack their own, which they get along best with. People consider them dangerous in large numbers.

Vindictive Children

All floweys are believed to have been created in the same fashion of the first, using the animus of a creature. Many of these happened to be other children which the archmage experimented on, under pressure from the king. As such, they all bear a similar propensity to selfishness and wanton destruction. They are also manipulative and homicidal towards other races, which they often view as tools or toys for enjoyment. They are known to enjoy pushing others to do horrible things, believing in the rule of "kill or be killed." This has been defended as a reaction of twisting the animus when removing it from its soul, which leaves it without any of the innocent parts a child has. However, there have been floweys which have cried or expressed remorse for what they did, going as far as to beg for their own lives. When they are reduced to this, their original child's voice shines through.

Flowey Names

Flowey names tend to be focused on sounding harmless and fun, as they are children. They also use this to keep a facade of friendliness before they strike.

Male: Flowey, Lief, Bulb, Nut
