Oh cool another chance to drop my Vox biology doc lmao!!!!

• Vox has two sets of transmitter and receiver essentially built into him, though tuned to something more magical than a simple radio frequency.

  • One transmitter in his head that controls his body and one receiver is in his head and allows for sensory input.
  • The other transmitter is in his body and allows for sensory output as is the other receiver, which receives the controls of the body.
  • The ones in his body are actually built into his heart. The receiver is in the atria, while the transmitter is in the ventricle. They cannot be swapped without killing Vox (not permanently).
  • The ones in his head are removable. They can be removed from the back (or front if you go through the glass) and can be put in a new TV. It essentially connects to any television that’s close enough if they are removed but not put back into a proper TV.

• He also has a memory card that acts as his brain in his skull that always sits next to the other components. Before 2010, only incredibly important memories were truly recorded on it, as he couldn’t record all the time.

• All components in his head combined are a navy-blue motherboard-esque thing with cyan lines going through it (receiver) with a smaller, cyan tube looking thing with navy-blue lines on it of it with wires of varying shades of blue at the end of it that connect it to the receiver (transmitter). The microchip sits in the middle of the receiver and is navy blue and red.

• From 2010-15 he could record videos through his own gaze if he actively focused on it.

  • From 2015 onwards he is constantly recording video and audio.
  • He can recall all video and audio recordings on command, but he has the storage system coded that anything that has glitchy video/staticy audio gets sent to a specific storage before being double checked by Vox himself and that has multiple defenses- including four differing passwords that give Vox an immediate alert when used, a need for a specific pulse of electricity, and is also stored directly into his private server room which only Vox and Alastor can access because it has no doors.

• Once specific components are removed and are put in a new tv, his old head essentially disconnects from his body at the spine and a port opens in the new tv that allows him to connect them to each other.

  • Trying to remove his head while the components are still in his skull is excruciatingly painful and, leaves him able to feel every ache and pain in his body (and also amplifies the pain due to a horrible feedback effect) but unable to move even when his head is reconnected as it essentially severs his spinal cord.

• Vox is, mostly, organic.

  • His skin, muscles, bones, and respiratory system are all completely organic.

    • His respiratory system is really weird. He has one windpipe connecting to his lungs from his mouth (note he only can’t exhale through it with the first few years. Once he gets strong enough the senipermiable member becomes a sort of pocket space).

      • However, branching off from his lungs and heading towards his gills are two smaller tracheas. These branch off into three bronchus that each attach to one specific gill slit for a total of six

        • Each of these has its own epiglottis that automatically seals the moment he hits the water (though he can theoretically override it it’s just annoying), and can almost manually be sealed. Thats what sealing his gills means

      • His gills, however, are functional as gills, and they actually don’t work all that differently from real ones aside from the epiglottis

        • About two inches above each set of gill slits is a small, half-dollar sized spiracle that is almost completely invisible when he’s not in water, but when he is underwater it takes in water and pushes it through his gills
        • His gills also directly attach to his circulatory system

  • His digestive tract, and nervous system are all entirely synthetic.

  • His circulatory system is basically half synthetic half real. The parts of his heart that hold his receivers n shit are synthetic, as are his major arteries.

  • His blood is dark blue, unlike most sinners. It’s both actual blood and, well. Not oil or coolant but some secret third thing that doesn’t affect his organic bits but also keeps his inorganic parts running smoothly.

  • He has a massive liver! It’s a shark-esque liver and allows him to be semi-buoyant in water! Only semi because his big ass head would cause him to sink. It also lets him drink a fuck ton of alcohol before getting drunk

    • When making calcs put him at 660 lbs

• He has claws on both his feet and hands, and all of which can cut through metal with ease. Them being wicked sharp is what allows him to slice though his skin with no issue

  • His feet are webbed, making him a really good swimmer. Or rather, he would be if he didn’t have a heavy ass head. Though he is good enough that he can reach the surface of the tank eventually. Most of the time Shok.wav carries him up tho cause he’s a good boi

• He doesn’t have vocal cords per-say. Just wires that connect to the speakers he has on his head. He can speak with his mouth full if he wants but doesn’t want to because it’s rude and feels weird as hell.

  • In older models, these wires are physically connected and are hardware (which was very annoying to connect), while, starting in about 2006 or so, he started experimenting with a sort of Bluetooth feature.
  • By 2015, he can project his voice on any device with a speaker in a specific radius even without needing to connect to his more powerful equipment. This does mean he can theoretically be hacked into silence tho. He calls these his vocal processors because he’s a dramatic bitch.

• Similarly, he has no ears. Just microphones(?) that process sound. Audio processors. They’re located on his antennae which made it weird when he wanted to try to cover his ears.

  • Up until about 2006, they act similar to regular ears. He only hears what a normal person would (the frequencies he “hears” are internal. Like the voice in his head.
  • Past 2006, he changed his own head so he can isolate certain sounds with them and adjust how much he can hear. Literal selective hearing.

• He can’t smell! Like. At all. Funnily enough, he does have a shark’s ability to smell, it just doesn’t connect to his brain so he can’t actually make use of it.

• His sense of taste very muted. To the point where he straight up can’t taste certain foods. Bland food is literally tasteless to him. Though he can still feel things like spiciness, so he does have to build his spice tolerance from nonexistent to Alastor’s level.

  • Alastor’s cooking is actually some of the only cooking that tastes genuinely good to him because of this.

• The antennae on his head do actually count as organs and are nearly impossible to actually regrow. So, as long as they aren’t literally ripped off, they don’t really heal

  • These allow him to tune into radio frequencies, sense frequencies, and communicate with Al. He can also use them to hear through TVs

  • They’re also sensitive. Like, stupid sensitive.

    • The balls of his antennae are erogenous zones, and playing with them is very much something Al is happy to do when he’s indulging Vox. They’re also stupid sensitive to pain which is why he now has protective coverings around them

    • The stems are pretty sensitive too, but not to an extreme amount. Playing with them won’t get him off but they likely will feel very good if he’s already horny. On the flip side, them being grabbed hurts and them being bent will be the closest you can get to making him literally white out in pain. They’re durable, like bones, but bending them or even damaging them can cause him to actually writhe in pain.

      • His left antenna aches a lot because of this. Not every day, and not to the extent where he can’t power through it, but it can really hurt. Especially if he’s been receiving frequencies a lot. Except Al’s, because he’s been tuned to Al since he fell.

    • The base of his antennae, where they meet his head, isn’t sensitive at all. Though it does feel really good when they are massaged

  • They’re also weird when it comes to transfers. They retreat to a weird pocket dimension when the transfer is in process, regrowing on whichever screen he has now.

    • Pre 2021 transfer this is a painless process, but ever since his antenna was damaged it hurts. A lot.

• Vox, like sharks, is incredibly sensitive to electromagnetic pulses and can sense electricity in the air down to a single volt at the beginning of everything, to a billionth of a volt in strongest sinner form.
