Hello and welcome! I’m Rob Boss and I’m certainly glad you could join me today.

I thought today maybe we could just create a fantastic little lifeform that I hope you’ll enjoy. Let’s start out and have them run all the genetic materials across the screen that you’ll need to create along with us. While they’re doing that, let me show you what I got done today.

It’s mostly made up of cells that produce keratin or keratinocytes (my youngest calls them “carrot tins,” which always gets a chuckle out of her old dad). These cells are gradually pushed to the surface of the skin by newer cells, where they harden and then eventually die off. The hardened keratinocytes, called corneocytes, are packed closely together and seal the skin off from the outside environment.

Here, I have my old standard bipedal body shape and I’ve covered it with skin made of keratinocytes. These cells make a wonderful casing because they’re gradually pushed to the surface of the skin by newer cells, where they eventually harden to become corneocytes that are packed closely together and seal the skin off from the outside environment. But to delay that process, I’ve covered the skin with just a very thin coat of liquid osmosis, so it’s all wet and slick and it’s ready to go.

Now, let’s just have some fun. Today, let’s start with a little tiny genomic brush, and we’ll take a small amount of Low Anxiety. We don’t need much, just a little Low Anxiety. Just tap a little in the bristles. There we go.

We’ll add a little bit of Low Vulnerability to Stress today, somewhere delicate, just want to warm it up. But be very careful. In a heartbeat, you can set the stress level on fire. All we want to do is warm it a little. There we go, something about like so. That’s all we need.

Maybe a touch of Openness to Feelings down here at the bottom of the chest. It doesn’t have to be a chest, it can be breasts or whatever your imagination can come up with. No big deal because in your lifeform, you can do anything that you want to do.

Alright, with that done, let’s go into a little bit of Straightforwardness. Once again, don’t need much, and we don’t even have to clean the brush.

Straightforwardness is a so much stronger Openness to Feelings, it’ll just eat it up, so instead of broad strokes, I’m just gonna make little X’s, little crisscross strokes, something like that. Go all the way across the top of the chest and bring it down until it almost touches the Openness.

While I still have that brush going, I’m gonna take a little Competence and just add it to the corners on each side.

Now, as we move along, let’s think about the wonderful balance of life. Every little detail we add, it’s like adding another happy trait to our creation. We’ve got the foundation laid out, those keratinocytes creating a protective cocoon, and now, we’re adding the essence of humanity, the emotions, and traits that make this lifeform truly special.

Let’s pick up our genomic brush again, ever so gently. Now, we’re going to add a splash of Curiosity, just a little touch right there in the eyes. Oh, those eyes, they’re the windows to the soul, you know. And just a whisper of Creativity in the fingertips, because we want this lifeform to explore and create, just like you and me.

Ah, but we can’t forget the heart, the core of this beautiful creation. With a soft stroke, let’s add a bit of Compassion, right here in the center. Let it blend and mingle with the other traits we’ve added. Compassion, after all, is what connects us all, it’s what makes us truly alive.

Now, as we step back and admire our work, we can see the harmony, the balance of traits that make this lifeform a masterpiece. It’s not just a scientist’s experiment; it’s a work of art, a creation full of potential and wonder.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this journey with me today, creating something truly special and unique. Remember, in your world of imagination, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents. So, keep on creating, my friend, and let the joy of making guide you every step of the way. Until next time, happy creating!
