We've already seen oblivion paradoxically be replicated into a blade, perhaps it is possible for oblivion to be paradoxically replicated by a Klik.

What would it's weaknesses even be, what would heal it? My speculations on this comes from looking at Oblivious; Oblivion Klik would heal itself with ignorance and be weakened by someone trying to understand the nature of its existence. I would also think that said Oblivion Klik couldn't possibly be a living entity; it would basically be a Klik statue that does not travel through time.

Oh, and hi, I'm new to the Goblins forum!
Great idea! Although I would imagine that being a living entity itself, it could will itself to move through time as it chose - almost certainly it would be a temporal klik, but probably one of unusual power. If comprehension of itself was indeed its negative (hopefully with an exception for itself, as it would inevitably have to have some understanding of its own nature), then I can see it being a spectacularly dangerous entity, which travels through the cosmos and annihilates anyone who learns anything about it, ensuring that it grows ever more powerful.

Now the real question is what would happen if some others tried to Klok into it....

I like the idea of a Klik whose positive is potential energy. The higher he gets, the stronger he is. Or he can be healed by touching him with the string of a bow about to shoot. Or other confusing things :)

And negative energy is like a severe depression?
He gets sicker because of the negative energy, thus creating more negative energy....

So if he absorbs the potential energy of a bow string, does that mean that bow won't shoot?

I imagine the string would pull itself back to to the relaxed state and the arrow harmlessly falls to the ground.

What if the Klik then absorbed the potential kinetic energy inherent in the arrow falling because of gravity?

Well, by that logic it would slowly descend to the ground. Hey, that Klik can work as a parachute! Why didn't he save Forgath? A-hole. :ktongue:

ETA: Wait, nevermind. He needed something to drain his kinetic energy since he was falling already.

That's a logical negative for a positive-energy Klik, who just keeps getting happier and more powerful until something disillusions him, breaks his spirit and sends him into a bleak spiral of despair - argh, I just described my own life, now I'm sad.

But for a real puzzler, reverse them. You now have a Klik who constantly negates his own growth or dwindling and thus remains essentially unchanged?

Just thought i'd throw out a small theory, Tics are something to do with the species traveling through different realities.

Also Junior is a metal Klik. As in the flash back joining of dies new arms there is a sentence that says---you create a smaller sphere made out of the same material as you... which means Kliks of one type only make Kliks of the same body type, just with different strengths and weaknesses.

On a side note I like the idea of an egg shell klik (organic) that eats eggs (organic) and a weakness to some form of heat. However as a odd glitch when is injured it sheds it outer egg layer and eats it and it can be seen picking and eating at bits of itself it it gets to hot where the outer layer tries to hatch a new egg shell, like a person eating there own flaking skin.

Sorry to rain on your thought-parade, Willpell, but a simple solution is to not factor the emotion-klik's own emotions. This way, it feeds by spreading joy or misery and sticking around to absorb the good or bad vibes.

Your description reminded me of Marvin (from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) :lol: Imagine him as a Klik... :shock:

That would be pretty awesome.

I think that's a little bit of a jump. Setting aside for the moment that Junior was created by a different process and was never supposed to a be a Klik, The smaller sphere may be made of the same material, but then it joins with another being and begins partially copying its soul. For all we know, this process can easily result in a klik of a different kind.

Here's my stab at the table. I know I missed some options, but this could get you rolling. :P


I went ahead and did two things - one, finally create a Goblins Forum account, and two, added a tab to your document that is essentially an auto-roller for Klik generation.

While it lacks a few specific details (because I didn't have the time to configure it to roll for a subtype and then figure out both which subtype table to use and then also which subtype description to display), it should be a fully functional Klik Generator from which people can use the roll values generated to determine more specific details from your table. Lemme know if there are any bugs or glitches, it's very off the cuff and unpolished.

And now I sleep, I work in seven hours.

ETA: Decided to give it a trial roll to see how well it performs. Introducing Klikschu - it enjoys masquerading as an ornate comb or hairbrush and hiding in large towns to be picked up by unwary humans, where it slowly renders them bald over the course of weeks. By not floating or otherwise shapeshifting during this time, it is able to conserve energy and savor each meal, a decadence little known to fellow Kliks. It is actually the sole reason for Saral Caine's baldness. Caine never realized it was his newly found comb that was causing his magnificent mane to vanish little by little each day, and Klikschu was only driven away when he obtained the Axe of Prissan and the magical armor that came with it... but not before finishing up in one fell swoop and floating away out the window, chittering gleefully through a mouthful of blonde locks. (Metallic Klik, organic positive subtype hair with narrow breadth, negative energy subtype magical with narrow breadth.)

Would it be possible for a Klok to exist that can translate Klikese into the common tongue of this setting?

I'm guessing that would require the combination of at least a sound klik who could just get fat listening to industrial machines and...I don't know, an organic klik made of tongues?

Temporal klik made of deadlines. It feeds on the frustrated screams of writers.

hmm..... maybe a Klock made up of echos, time (and something else...) so it can repeat anything it has heard by echo-ing it back at what ever time it wants.

What About an Oblivion Klik, like Minmax's sword. I think it would fall more under the temporal Klik as it would technically live outside of time and space. Yet it has the power to flit in and out of reality. This could make for a really annoying advesary. Its negative would be everything and its positive would be nothing thus causing it to have to jump through reality.
Just a thought

Once upon a time there was an energy klik made of dreaming brainwaves, whose positive was organic(teeth), and negative was metal(coins). She became a legend.

Well yeah, I figured they would be. Can't just give him these patches and never ever explain them.
