#octo agents in cluded

[roseytoesy]

Basic ideas for the nom-onauts universe

So yea, I have some fun stories out of order and I even have one that includes some of the octo agents. But know it did start with just the octonauts. Anyway goona ramble under the cut about some of the world building I'm mixing in some magic cause frick you I do what I want that allows for noms and silly g/t shenanigans.

In old sailing days there is a mysterious magic amongst the waves of the sea. Creating very rare mysterious or haunting creatures and allowing sailors unique abilities while on the sea.

This magic allowed safe noms in times of old. it was fairly private and unknown save for a few horror stories when some more predatory sailors were affected and their instincts went crazy.

All they had to do was firmly grasp the person they wanted to eat and focus on that contact, the other would then shrink.

With more recent pollution and technology that magic faded into stories and tall tales.

But the longer a crew is out at sea the more of the small bits of magic they can accumulate. especially as they travel.

It manifested in the crew in Tweek the most. allowing her to create an impossible technology that would allow the crew to shrink themselves with the push of a few specific buttons on their collars.

This magic also allowed her to create such unique Gups and come up with so many ideas too.

Its enhanced the captains strength a bit, kwazii is more agile and a faster swimmer, Dashi has amazing balance, Shellington can understand just about any language given enough time, Inkling is able to be outside of water for long periods of time, peso is able to tie and untie anything within a few seconds and some sounds.

and of course the crew can all understand creatures if the creature wishes to communicate with them.

everyone's collars has the radio button on the left, the bubble helmet button on the right and these little arrows that point toward each other like this >> << 1,2 on the left and 3,4 on the right

pushing the arrows in the order 1,3,2,4 activates the shrinking tech. reducing the crew to about 3 inches tall. with slight millimeters differences between the crew.

The shrinking allows them to be resistant to extreme pressures, fairly extreme temperatures (from -10 to 135 F), more resistant to any kind of falling injuries, immunity to acids, and resistance to caustic substances.

They still get uncomfortable and even hurt but can survive and that's the important part.

Unfortunately shortly after testing this new ability, barnacles was the first to feel its unique side effects. being an Apex predator only further heightened the urge to tuck away his crew.

Kwazii is the other member that is affected fairly heavily by the urge, he called it the hungry ghost due to some tall tales about more scary shrinking and eating experiences.

Peso and Shellington both somewhat feel it but not as strongly as the captain and Kwazii. Dashi and Tweek are fairly unaffected but can still tuck the others away when necessary. or if Tweek gets mad enough

The vegimals will have their own post, but just know that some lost food falling into the sea created the Eddimal species. If food is able to sink deep enough and not be eaten its transformed into a tough little creature. Though only with plant based foods.

Thanks to Shellingtons' heavy desire to find and care for a new species the magic carries some eggs of these creatures to the octopod.

The other octo agents don't get any special abilities or boosts other than their own life experiences and practices.

Speaking of the agents, Tweek eventually made them some shrinking tech as well, since the agents don't have those collars, she made little Band-Aid looking patches to be stuck to their collars, hidden under their uniforms.

To activate these "implants" (changing this to tiny patches) as Tweek likes to call them, is to push it once, let go, then hold it down for 3 seconds, let go, and one more quick push.

The octo agents dont use it very much if at all. Due to them working fairly separate and away from the sea they don't get those strong urges. The only ones to really be involved with the noms is Paani, Calico jack, and Professor Natquik.

That's about everything I could think of, Feel free to ask further questions! I'm frothing at the mouth thinking about all the shenanigans with this silly group.
