Man, it’s been a slow week.

[Soru]

Sorry, ive been busy and sick for the past week so haven't been on lately. I'll try to get a post up soon.

[Lazy Kitsune]

Sorry for not responding recently as well. Before I do, is the cat leading me towards the spider scene with Kayin? If so, could I not be a part of that scene? I'm not keen on spiders, or any insects / arachnids really.

[Taria]

Understood

[Soru]

Oh shit, i hope I don't need to reroll a character with what's happening right now.

Btw, I think I might have misunderstood the bidding points? I thought it was like adding a point modifier to rolls but is it more just additional rolls?

[Taria]

So basically the way bidding works is that the more you bid, the better your odds of success, but the more you stand to lose. So if you feel you are in a life or death situation, you probably want to risk everything to make sure you can succeed.

But if you're just trying to do something cool, maybe just risk one die.

But yeah, every point = 1 die, any die that does not success your challenge is lost. You regain them all when you rest.

Also fyi, you still have one good strength die because 4 succeeded if you want to use it. Or you can just wait and see what fate has in store for you.

[Soru]

Eh, why not? Let's use that last die and see what happens. Though this might be a mistake since my track record for die rolls on this RP hasn't been great, lol

[Taria]

As much as I love your telepathy, Kayin spent her telepathy die earlier on the failed spider charm. You will have to rest to recover it.

[Kuragari]

Ah right I forgot, I'll fix

[MiscChaos]

Is it possible to enter at this point? Or have ya'll been going long enough slotting someone in would be awkward?

[Taria]

I’m happy to add you in!

Name: Sipho
Gender: Female
Physical description/picture:

Ability points

Physical: 3
Mental: 2
Social: 2

Background info: Not all people re-created civilization after the warp. Some blamed human innovation for bringing the warp at all and so decided that the old ways were the best ways. Creating simple weapons based on the environment, eating only what can be grown or hunted. The Ibutho Iokuzingela is one such tribe. The increased danger of the world only provided testing grounds for the Ibutho: those who can overpower this brave new world are those who have the potential to lead the tribe once the leader steps down, dies, or is otherwise proven to be incapable of properly guiding. In this way, the strongest and the wisest raise to the top and over generations the Ibutho grow stronger as a whole. But one can't eliminate human nature. Once the wrong person has a taste of power, then they'll do anything to keep it.

This is what Sipho was born to. A mighty warrior in her own right, she was born to the leader of the tribe, Cacile, and her beloved, Vusumuzi. Shortly after her birth, both of her parents were somehow killed within the confines of the tribal grounds. Mandla, the tribe's holy man, declared that the ancestors found them tainted and struck them down, using that belief to install himself as the leader. He then proceeded to warp the tribe beyond recognition. He added drugs to the water supply to sap the minds of the people. Strength of arm and wisdom of mind were no longer the values to judge one by, but how loyal they were to the Leader. He did not accept challenges to his leadership, instead passing them to his son, Melusi. Between the two of them, they always found some way of undermining the challenger. They would arrive weakened and poison would be found in their food afterward. Someone they laid with would conveniently be accused of carrying the warp within them, exiling everyone who had been with them. Sipho observed it all while she gained strength. Once she thought herself strong enough, she herself challenged Mandla for leadership of the tribe. She hunted her own food so she could not be easily poisoned and she laid with no one and so could not be exiled that way. The night before the challenge, Mandla showed himself before her and offered her a deal: Tie herself to Melusi to legitimize Mandla's rule or be exiled. Sipho obviously refused this deal. The next day, Mandla ruled that Cacile and Vusumuzi's warp-taint passed on to their daughter during her birth and exiled her. Her people, reduced to sheep as they had been, followed the order without thought.

Once exiled for taint, the exiled tribesman must find a mighty, very obviously tainted creature and bring their head back in order to prove themselves. Sipho seeks to do the same to reverse the direction she sees her people moving.

I made a post to introduce you to where the majority of the group is currently at. Feel free to post whenever; the general vibe is that whenever people aren't around to make posts their character are just in the background doing something else. Let me know if you have any questions about the dice bidding system.

[Taria]

I'm going to steal a good idea from the other game and ask y'all about some of your interests and turn offs if you'd like to share some. (Keep in mind a big theme of this RP is transformation) It can help give me good ideas about what direction to take transformations in and also what encounters to make.

My signature has a link to a list of most of the things I am into, but here's the most recent up to date version

Oh Sorry! I too have been rather busy lately. Haven't checked the OOC thread in a bit clearly.

I think I have a lot of standard turn offs a lot people share. Like... sexual gore, and scat/watersports, underage stuff, sexual gore. More specific to me though? I suppose I don't really like things that sort of permanently alter my character's personality, or below the belt piercings.

I'm pretty open to most things beyond that. Definitely like unrealistically busty ladies and them fighting with kinky monsters. I definitely also love it when they are in situations where they are perpetually naked, and can't seem to make a shirt last longer then a day or less before it gets torn off them. Generally transformation is not a huge thing for me, but if you want to turn Nova into an eventual anthropomorphic jungle cat woman I certainly would not complain! Tiger, leopard, cheetah, panther, I'm definitely hoping for something like that!

I've subscribed this thread now, so I should definitely be a lot more responsive in the future!

[Kuragari]

I shall catch up on the rp thread tomorrow, been distracted of late.

[MiscChaos]

I'll try to post something up today. Been couch surfing recently and that's killed my vibe. Good news is by the end of June, I'll have a home again so that'll stop soon

[jondude]

Yeah not exactly the kind of activity that is comfortable to do in someone else's space. Totally get that. Good to hear you'll have your own space again soon though!
