How do charr hands function? Here's my headcanon (with drawings!)

So I made this poll earlier today and I ended up making some sketches to explain how I headcanon charr hands and their supposedly retractable yet too big claws. The idea is that both the game and the books are partially right: claws can be big (not as big as the models), and they're semi-retractable (so fully-fluffy paws). [Disclaimer: I am bad at anatomical drawings and did not try to make them super accurate :')]

Basically charr fingers are made of three phalanges, but functionally they're just two, with the 2nd and 3rd being much shorter and sort of "merging" with the claw itself, which is mostly supported by the 3rd and starts very close to the knuckle between them. The palm is covered almost entirely by a skin pad/paw pad, which usually extends to the first phalanx of each finger, and the fingertips are covered by pads as well.

The claws are semi-retractile, though the exact range of motion depends on the individual's genetics (claw size and shape + hand anatomy) and preferences (how much they trim the claw). The ability to retract their claws is managed by specialized extra tendons and muscles in the hand's structure, and they can lock the claw in place or move it, even while the fingers are bent, though with some limitation at the extremes of movement. While the claw at rest will stay at a "safe" angle, the claw's bed can shift on the cartilage structure when pulled, sliding back into a "sheathed" position or be pushed outwards. [note: I was too scared to go too far with the "x-ray" sketches and probably the claws could go a bit further back in the finger lol]

Ancestrally, this system kept the claws from always digging into the ground and losing sharpness when running on all fours, while still allowing for extra grip when necessary (similar to cheetahs) and the use when fighting or taking down prey. During the evolutionary transition in which charr started walking upright most of the time and using tools, it lost some of its ancestral necessity and functionality. However, instead of turning into something vestigial, charr evolved the ability of controlling each claw's movement independently from the rest of the finger, allowing for greater precision, fine motor skills and dexterity.

The pad grants grip and softer manipulation of items, while the claw handles movements finer and more precise than the pad allows, and other races find it complex, fascinating or a bit freaky. Some say that charr are as dexterous than humans, if not more, which is quite an accomplishment for creatures with such big hands.

That said, variety is huge among charr. Some have stubby paws with big, wide claws, while others have long, slender fingers with narrow claws.

Claws are still used as a natural weapon by many soldiers, but it's totally not uncommon for charr to file their claws down or keep them blunt, as there's a huge variety of reasons for not wanting sharp knives on one's fingers (job requirements, handling of delicate materials, safer interactions with cubs or creatures with softer skin, personal preference, etc), and some even keep their claws at different lengths for specific uses.

That said, claws can't be trimmed beyond the quick without bleeding or potential damage, and since it extends out of the sheath it's not possible for a charr to fully sheath their claws. Claws grow quite fast to make up for the daily wear and tear, so upkeep must be done regularly, as trimming too much might temporarily impact coordination. Declawing can happen during combat or following injury, and those affected might wear prosthetics/fake claws to make up for it.

propaganda for wryden.

He is the drummer for a band called paradox. He's good friends with farold. He and Erin are kinda 'a thing' if you know what I mean (hehe). He was born in September, which is an important element to his character.

He was one of my first characters actually (along with farold). He also likes photography as well. Vote for Wryden!

Please vote based on the picture AND the description!

Wryden Pinecroft [Scarecrow Hat @katiethedane12]

His age is 15. And, um. He has a pony. He's really good friends with erin and ferris (some of my other characters). He's like, really good at comforting people and He's 'sassy'. Kind of a heartthrob, and kinda reckless, but also calm (and dramatic).

Yasmin [Letters for Absent Friends @larissa-the-scribe]

Adopted into a nice Brazilian family after accidentally walking to a different plane of existence when she was a toddler, she is now trying to figure out being a teenager while she keeps getting weird powers and haunted by an entity that has apparently been hunting her her whole life. She probably would be excited about all the cool stuff she's seeing but also her brother is missing and she is very lost.

[hezenkoss]

so hezenkoss has 198 lines in the game. within that, her sentences end with

8 ellipses

4 em-dashes

117 periods

36 question marks

and 72 exclamation points!

love a woman who refuses to be restrained!

hot lady at the park told me i was cute (im dressed gothic and she had dyed black hair), asked if i was dating the person im here with (i told her no), and then asked if she could give me her number so she could text me the location of a thing i asked her about. now, given that i am a single dyke, youd think i would happily do so. youd be wrong. i didnt notice she was hitting on me. i am a caricature of autism

she was wearing cargo shorts. how did i not notice?

[girlberrie]

sometimes i type a reply or something and i realize how dry i sound . i kinda like it but also i need you all to know that i just have difficulty expressing myself through this phone keyboard. and also i overthink and act awkwardly because i think all of you are very cool and i get……… nervous . but also i am a defender of the dry ‘haha’ i love it so much

[katiethedane12]

Thanks for the tag @larissa-the-scribe!

OC Tag game:

I'll answer these questions then ask three more and the people I tag are forced to answer

I'll do this for Wryden

How does your character feel about long road trips?

It depends on his mood. If he can control the music he is going to SHOVE HIS MUSIC TASTE DOWN YOUR THROAT. Or he's taking pictures the entire time. Although if he is sitting beside Erin, he is going to be cuddling the entire time and not paying attention to anything else except state borders and telling quirky facts about the scenery.

2. What's your character's favorite letter of the alphabet and why?

I'd say Q. He likes it bc no one else does lol

3. Opinion on rainy weather?

He loves it. It's honestly great for taking pictures and the aesthetic. Not to mention the sound of falling rain while sitting by a fire surrounded by pillows with your girlfriend.

Questions:

What do they keep in their bag?

Do they have any nicknames? What are they?

What's a weird thing they are obsessed with?

i need someone more insane than me to figure out how the limbus company wiki (either the proper wiki or the fandom one, i don't care) got their heights originally, because

i am going insane.

Vote Erin!

Vote for erin! She's the lead singer in a band called paradox and she is a member of a group formed to stop an assassination, obsessed with ping pong, likes to read and draw, adhd swag, has terrible hair but I can never seem to draw it right. O well, go vote!

*For the purposes of this post, "main NPCs" is referring to companions and faction leaders. Though I haven't seen any other NPCs with that value above zero either.

exacrly who we all expected to be leading the league this season. the minnesota wild with 14.7 million dollars against thr cap in buyouts, who did not make the playoffs last season, and the ovi-less washington capitals powered by notorious 3rd overall draft bust team canada snub dylan strome who DID make the playoffs* (*with the worst goal differential ever, got swept)
