The process generally thought of as Awakening creates '''Type III BioChromatic entities''', a BioChromatic manifestation in an organic host far removed from being alive. Examples include Awakened ropes, cloth, or skeletal remains.
These are between the two extremes of inorganic objects and dead bodies. Therefore, these have the advantage of requiring less Breath (still more than corpses, often over one hundred) to Awaken than inorganic objects while at the same time allowing for Breath recovery. They have the strength to easily strangle people. The more it resembled living beings, the easier it is to be Awakened, so a skilled Awakener would prepare human-shaped and organic clothes for Awakening purposes.{{book ref|wb|prologue}} An Awakener who is not a human and has a different shape would have an easier time Awakening something that is similar to them in shape (such as a canine making cloth into the shape of a canine).{{wob ref|3660}} When Awakened, it tends to mimic living things, forming muscle-like structures or shape of hand.{{book ref|wb|5}} Awakened objects see similar to [[Steel Inquisitor]]s do via Iron and Steel lines.{{wob ref|145}}
They are understandably the most common type of BioChromatic host entities created.{{book ref|wb|46}} However, other types of BioChromatc hosts are generally more powerful.

==== Fort's Tablets ====
'''Awakened technology''' is possible through the process of Awakening circuitry; the only known example of such technology is '''Fort's Tablet''', which is an Awakened device that provides a dual function to [[Fort]]. On the back, it allows him to tap letters and bring down a list of common words. These letters and words are then displayed on the front of the tablet for the reader or person(s) he is communicating with to see and read. The board is able to anticipate his needs, giving him likely suggestions-working with supernatural speed. In turn, the tablet is also able to hear and understand audible words from those near Fort, and will then display them for Fort to be able to read. It has the ability to differentiate between voices and will place a symbol before each voice, allowing Fort to differentiate between speakers. This process of communication is accomplished via Awakened predictive Connection circuits. Further utilizing Connection, the device will only work for Fort, as he mentions when he warns Tress not to attempt to steal it. Fort's tablet operates on a solar battery, which requires it to be left out in the sun at least once a week to charge, or it will cease to function.{{book ref|tress|15}} The tablet also has security protocols, although they are off by default. The Sorceress hacked Fort's tablets to spy on the ''[[Crow's Song]]''.{{book ref|tress|60}}
Fort's second tablet, received from [[Tress]] as a part of her boon in trade with [[Xisis]], is an improvement upon the original device. It can change between different fonts. It also offers more real-time-like communication, accomplished by allowing the text to disappear at the top of the board as he taps, allowing for longer sentences and fewer pauses, as he does not have to wait for the old text to disappear. Additionally, Fort's new tablet is advanced enough to allow for video conferencing.{{book ref|tress|62}}
