ITS JOE YEAH WOO JOE HILLS WOOHOO TENNESSEE YEAH BABEY JOE HILLS

sticking him here on the barest technicality of nonhuman. hes weird enough for it <3 joe's an "undead human" sometimes specified to zombified or ghostified human depending on what doctor you ask. it is unclear. he had some weird shit happen to him and now hes just some guy.

ive been having a lot of fun doing miecraft-verse species things!! im making lists of what species there are and vocab and whatnot. "undead" is more like a condition than a species, but sometimes becoming undead can affect you so fundamentally that you might stop identifying as your previous species. thats cleo's case. joe doesnt really care what people call him.

there are terms in the vocab list that are not medically accurate: spirit and angel. "spirit" is used for anyone who doesnt fit into any existing species category (due to appearance or behavior/abilities or otherwise), and "angel" usually refers to someone similarly weird who is seen acting like theyre doing work for a god. so in theory yes angels exist but random-ass players keep getting called angels for Looking Weird While Being Nice (joe.)

spirit and angel are not accurate words to be using for people, angel especially is a controversial term. depends on preference for the players getting called it. some players will take up angel as an identity/accepted word! others absolutely will not! i am having so much fun making up fantasy medical discourse!

this drawing took me almost three hours by the way. ridonkulous. its because of the pose and because i was designing him as i went along. future drawings of him should take less time now that i actually know what he looks like :] the blue blotches look like i was trying to do frostbite but really i had finished the drawing and he didnt look quite right. too normal. so i added the blue and the shaodw on his face and the blood on the shoes. all just for visual appeal but i love how it turned out!
