History Characters / AwfulHospitalTheParliament

A mysterious interdimensional organization that seems to have close ties to Fern's son. Very, ''very'' long ago, they used to be the crumbled remains of an indescribably ancient creature.

The Old Flesh was a primordial being that existed in itself before the multiverse came to be and it slowly deteriorated over time, its remains changing into what is now reality as we know it... and the Parliament.

* GreaterScopeVillain: It's this to the entire storyline as a whole. Even in death, what became of its remains has staged everything going wrong with the Hospital and the multiverse itself.

A character seen only in a picture book, but one that hints to major backstory. A primordial being that existed in itself before the multiverse came to be and it slowly deteriorated over time, its remains changing into what is now reality as we know it... and the Parliament.

* TheCorruption: He periodically transforms into a slob, reverting back into his normal (if blue) form after being killed and "resurrected" by Tori. He even gets an infection meter in his own pages.

* FalseMemories[=/=]WeirdnessCensor: Very strangely, with each new surgery Tori performs on him, Jay keeps getting his old handicaps fixed, only to wake up with a ''different'' body part injured, and even more strangely, a different weapon. He remembers it as the ''only'' handicap/weapon he's ever had, but other characters seem to remember his previous versions. Also, Jay cannot see any of his blueness, (similar to Fern, with her greenness.)

--->'''Jay:''' I PAY YOUR ''TAXES'' DAMN IT!! '''SPEAK ENGLISH'''!!!

* WhipItGood: It can use ''its own nerves'' to lash its foes! Though this particular attack is a double-edged sword.
--> ''????????? SUFFERS RECOIL DAMAGE! That's what you get for hitting things with your own nerves!''

* HealingFactor: Given enough layers, slobs can grow back what they've lost. The Burgrr Zone takes advantage of this to "harvest" them.

* EvilKnockoff: To Dr. Phage, the AnthropomorphicPersonification of doctors. He claims to be a doctor, his name is the first letter of Dr. Phage's, he has glasses identical to Dr. Phage's, his skin is the same color, and he has the same voice. He acts as a conman and quack doctor to trick people into using not real medicine.

* CrazySurvivalist: Jay consistently relies on stealth and ambushes to get around the Hospital. He's willing to eat [[AlienLunch food more suited]] for [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/504.html nonhumans]] in the name of staying alive. And yes, Jay isn't playing with a [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/surgery-uhh.png full deck,]] which is only exacerbated all the more by his [[http://bogleech.com/awfulhospital/jaymoida.png slob condition.]]

* IRejectYourReality: According to Harold, they have been told the truth of the world and their own existence before, only for them to refuse to accept it and continue their crazy plans.

* BigBad: These guys are Fern's ultimate enemies and are responsible for nearly every bad thing going down around her, including infecting her son with the Old Flesh's corruption and slowly, systematically fusing the multiverse together.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They really view the idea of going back to a simpler time (i.e. when there was nothing existing but the Old Flesh) in ''supremely'' high regard. It's just that to them, the best solution is to essentially fuse the entire Perception Range together to try and remake the Old Flesh. Also, they hate things that are not of them, especially if they're artificial.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: This worm reaches a gigantic size.

* TimeAbyss: If the book it appears in is any indication, the Old Flesh existed ''before'' existence was even a thing!

* {{Diary}}: He's written a journal. It's also possible he may have written the "Dr. Phage's Hospital" story.

A mysterious interdimensional organization that seems to have close ties to Fern's son. Very, ''very'' long ago, they used to be the crumbled remains of an unfathomably ancient lifeform.

When Fern returns to the Morgue from the Inert Vessel, she is greeted by Balmer, who has good news and bad news. In the time it's taken her to step through the portal, it seems that the carrion-eating culture has developed into a full-blown empire. Its people, and the exvironator flesh they now feed on, have spread across every carcass of Fern Green throughout the Morgue. That's the good news. However, they haven't yet achieved proper mastery over the reanimated bodies, which have all mutated into these horrific, shambling, sharp-toothed beasts which seem to be the ultimate stage of the Red Blight's infection.

* NoodleIncident: How exactly did Nicole's daughter end up in there? We don't know and it probably doesn't know either.

* TheMole:
--> '''Fern''': Who ya ''really'' working for, Bozo?! R.E.C.P...whatcha got, bro?!
--> '''Polyp''': Eh? Moi? Well, this joker hasn't got no colon but he sure smells red.
--> '''Fern''': Knew it! KNEW IT! This hunka junk's a Parleymint mole!!!
--> '''Vending Machine''': Clever girl.

* SanitySlippage: Jay grows more deranged the closer he gets to becoming a slob again.
