HOW INKLINGS WORK (CBST/TLT lore)

There are some concepts you need to know. Firstly, you must understand the concept of Metaphysical energy and substaces in the realm of TLT. Secondly, you must understand how narration works. Thirdly, you must know what and how plotblades work.

Okay; you figured that out. Now what?

An inkling is, by definition, a sentient liquid creature that can replicate it's esscence. it can consume things by engulfing it with its liquid, which is typically more on the gooey side, or it can connect with a person and leech off what they eat there.

Inklings can form many shapes, and aren't bound to gravity as normal liquids would be.

Notable inklings include:

1. Cognition
2. Desolation
3. Inspiration
4. Lament
5. Guiding
6. Wisdom
7. Resolution

Now, as you probably noticed, they're all named after something. The thing that they are named after is their Truth. The Truth of an inkling will never change. Desolation is the only Inkling that has successfully managed to change its truth.

Narration and other energy types end up interacting strangely with inklings. Their body naturally conducts all sorts of energy, and it also is extremely susceptible to narration because of this. Desolation managed to fix this problem. That is why he has significantly more body-liquid than any other inkling.

Inklings hate narrators. They were visited by them once, and they got the Curse of Truth from that. They were again visited by another narrator, and Desolation is an off-spring from this incident. 

Speaking of which, Most inklings wind up being slightly Ordered light-dark, meaning they maintain one truth and a balance of both sides. Desolation is Chaotic Light-dark, being  instable and perfectly balanced. He has some other things going. on.
