Continuing this series, here’s some of the lore for the Emmunes!
This one is late because I’ve kind of busy today, so I’ll try and keep things simple.
So, what is an Emmune?
As mentioned in the first post, Emmunes are based on the Emoglobins, Evoglobins, and Nutsoglobins of Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story, bizarre block-like beings that save or heal, revive Bowser, and give quizzes, respectively. It’s that kind of game. Collectively, I generally refer to them as “Emoglobins”.
Named for their protective capabilities not unlike immune cells, Emmunes are cell-like creatures which acquaint themselves with a caring “host” as a source of food and shelter. They come in four major varieties: Emmunos, Hemmunas, Ennutties, and Evmunis.
Emmunos are the circular ones, generally very energetic and helpful. There are six variations:
Save Emmunos (yellow) can act as checkpoints, allowing you to go back to a certain point in time. They are also the standard kind.
Danger Emmunos (green) were protective.
Advice Emmunos (magenta) gave tips.
Pixel Emmunos (red) are fond of art.
Voltage Emmunos (light yellow) can emit electricity.
Training Emmunos (grey) are the standard “beginner” type.
Evmunis are ovoid with third eyes, deeply in tune with the energies of the universe at the cost of their eyesight. There are five kinds:
Soul Evmunis (violet) are the standard kind.
Planet Evmunis (purple) are more powerful.
Blaze Evmunis (red) have fire powers.
Frost Evmunis (blue) have ice abilities.
Guide Evmunis (black) are the “beginner” type.
Hemmunas are the blobby ones, who can emit a healing liquid. There are two kinds:
Kind Hemmunas (orange), which are the standard kind and heal typical conditions with orange liquid.
Life Hemmunas (brown), which can also heal mortal conditions with pink liquid.
Ennutties are the rectangular ones with the strands, which can be more standoffish but still care in their own way. There are two:
Quiz Ennutties (blue), which are fond of questions but aggressive.
Weird Ennutties (cyan), which are anxious and sometimes need extra direction.
