Clo-Gal Frequently Asked Questions
[ updated April 15, 2021 ]
Design / MYO
Can Clo-Gals have animal ears / be kemonomimis?
Sure, Clo-Gals can be kemonomimi! I originally planned for the setting to just take place on real-life Earth, but you can have your Clo-Gal in a setting where kemonomimi are natural/common.
Can I turn an existing character into a Clo-Gal?
Yes, you can turn an existing OC into a Clo-Gal.
Can Clo-Gals have a non-species/AU (alternate universe) version?
Yes, Clo-Gals can have different AU forms.
Is there a limitation to footwear (shoe weapons)?
Right now, there isn’t a limitation to shoe weapons! Each shoe can even be a different weapon.
Can Clo-Gals have other outfits?
Yes, Clo-Gals can have other outfits. Attireans can shapeshift into a different form (while maintaining some sort of similarity, like color, eye design, etc). The weapon type will also usually stay the same regardless, but it can have a slightly different physical appearance.
Biology / Lore
Do Clo-Gals hurt the humans that they feed from?
When Clo-Gals feed off of a human’s emotions, the human usually gets a little fatigued. If a Clo-Gal consumes a lot at once, the human can become exhausted or physically ill/hurt.
Can clo-gals have partners (someone who's willing to feed them like a human x vampire type of relationship)?
Yes, Clo-Gals can have a partner to feed off of like a human/vampire relationship!
What happens when a Clo-Gal doesn’t get fed for a long time?
Like most living things, Clo-Gals (specifically the Attirean) will die without sustenance. They can survive for about 3 months without feeding.
Is there a specific way to kill a Clo-Gal?
No, there isn’t a specific way to kill them, but Attireans typically do not survive major wounds to their vital organs (located in their “top”/shirt) or being completely destroyed (burned, shredded, etc). If somehow only the shell is damaged beyond repair, the Attirean can detach and find another shell.
Do Clo-Gals recognize each other?
Yes Clo-Gals do recognize and sense each other! It might be harder for some of them to identify those who are using organic shells (especially if the Attirean has become really, REALLY good at hiding their eyes and mimicking humans).
Can Clo-Gals take off their clothes?
Yes, Clo-Gals can take off their clothes! This usually just means the Attirean pops off for a bit, but it will have to return to a shell for feeding at some point. Being removed usually doesn’t hurt the shell.
Can a shell be host to more than one Attirean?
Yes, shells can be host to more than one Attirean. It’s uncommon but not unheard of.
Do Clo-Gals have emotions?
Yes, Clo-Gals can have emotions. Most Attireans have a clinical attitude and look down upon species that have feelings, but some have grown an affection for humans and enjoy expressing themselves. For living organic shells, the original human still has emotions and may gain control over the body.
Can Clo-Gals fall in love or have sexual desires?
Yes, Clo-Gals can fall in love (with humans or other Clo-Gals) and experience sexual desires 👀

Why did you make the species open instead of semi-closed/closed?
I made the species open instead of closed/semi-closed because it’s my first original species, and I thought it would be easier to run haha! I also don’t think Clo-Gals have a trait system that warrants closing the species.
