Race: Magical Chimera (1/2 dark elf, 1/4 human, 1/4 dragon)
Sex: Futa (hidden/retractable male organ)

Backstory: Robert is unclear if he was infected or is simply mutated, or both, but his body began growing scales and toughening around 14 MR; but the mutation either never completed or was interrupted as his joints and tendons are malformed. Eventually forced from the city he grew up in, he was ejected nine years ago to wander the wilds and survive as best he could as a possible magical plague carrier. Having taken up residence in an abandoned truck stop town, squatting and converting the top few floors of a hotel into a small rooftop farm thanks to a nearby hardware store. People tend to loot the powertools rather than the soil and pvc, who knew? Fortunately for Roberts sanity, a wisp bonded to him, psionically eating a lot of the pain from his failed mutation. Robert still has occasional connection to the rest of the world thanks to internet satellites, but the bulk of his time is spent on entertainment.

Due to unexpected exposure to a prototype enhancement crucible, a special type of mind and body enhancing crystal, without a functioning control mechanism, Roberts life and body were in a critical state as the bonded wisp attempted to control the direction of the crucible's body, mind, and magic altering abilities. This resulted in Robert transforming from a half mutated dragonnewt, into a mixed race chimera, the form taking that of a dark elf woman, although the wisp managed to preserve his favorite sexual organ, sensing Robert's intense emotional bond to it. Regardless of the form, it's still most definitely made of the same draconic materials.

Having bonded with the now elven woman, the wisp acts as a secondary repository of much of the knowledge contained within the crucible, and can actually reapply some of the basic enhancement magics if supplied with the right type of mana or magical core.

Wisp Picture (after): https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=3414943

Abilities:

Consume Core: consumes monster/spell core for the magic contained within, allowing it to be used to expand an existing ability, be converted to raw magical energy, or to implant the spell/element into a meridian. Efficiency loses will apply depending on use and source of magical energy.

Crucible Knowledge: The crucible is designed to be able to turn common volunteers into deadly weapons of war by implanting massive stores of knowledge and forcing open all meridians as well as activating any latent magics. This allows the user to instantly recognize a weapons uses when it is picked up, although practice is still required to 'tune' the body for specific weapons, as well as unlocks several basic spells. However, much of this knowledge was siphoned off by the wisp to prevent brain damage, leaving Roberta with most of the basic information.

Dragon Forged Body: Due to the only partially completed mutation, she lacks the ability to transform her body, or even sprout wings, tail, or claws. Even so, a dragons' natural toughness fully saturates her body; even without magic, it's still in excess of twenty times as strong as an equivalent human form, and nearly as tough as steel with drastically enhanced reflexes. When magically charged with defensive magics, her skin glows with a scaled pattern.

Elven Enchantment: Roberta has a massive Dantian to store mana, as well as highly efficient mana pathways and enlarged meridians, with a natural control of magic. Also, allows passive regen of mana if the appropriate 'element' is present.

Enhanced Senses: Between her elven and draconic components, Roberta can see in a very broad light spectrum, with fantastic dark vision, has echolocation and enhanced hearing, and a great sense of smell; with her draconic toughness protecting her from any sensory overload.

Human Adaptability: One of the few advantages of the human race, Roberta can draw mana from the world around her without having to seek out specific components that compliment her magical elements like a dragon or elf would. This also allows her to imprint those types of magic into her meridians as she acquires them.

Spells:
General: Manabolt lvl 0, 0/100 xp. Flashstep lvl 0, 0/100 xp. Heal lvl 0, 0/100 xp.

Shadow Magic (from dark elf biology) Shadowbolt lvl 0, 0/100 xp. Shadowwalk (allows to step within a 2d world) lvl 0, 0/100 xp. Shadowcloak (magic stealth) lvl 0, 0/100. Shadowblade (create a blade of shadow) lvl 0, 0/100 xp. Shadowchains (crowd control spell) lvl 0, 0/100 xp.

Having complete tending to your crops, you pause and look over to El Paso, the ravenous bug monsters still crawling around the roads. You can't decide whether or not your eviction was lucky or not. On one hand you managed to dodge the onslaught of bugs that cleaned out that city... but on the other hand you're stuck on top of a hotel for the rest of your life with no one to talk to... Well you do have glowy wispy thing but it doesn't talk back. Luckily you managed to hook up some TV. Apparently someone somewhere managed to get a TV station back online and is rerunning shows on repeat so you got something at least. And thank god for those solar panels you managed to scavenge before the streets became overrun. Still, looking out to the gathering clouds, it wasn't all good news. If anything, after the return of magic, the Texan storms have only gotten worse. Hoping that it won't blow anything away this time, as you have no way to replace it, you go inside for shelter.

The storm arrives with rolling thunder in the distance. As it approaches you see increasing flashes within the clouds, to the point where a flash overlaps with the next. And with the overlapping thunder, you can't help but think of rolling barrages in war movies illuminating the horizon. The wind is really picking up now and you hear the creaking and groaning of the objects subjected to it trying to endure, with the rhythmic metallic slamming contrasting against the dull thunder. If you hadn't lived through a dozen storms just like it you might be terrified that the building would be blown apart... Still there is a part of you stricken with fear that something is different about this storm. You couldn't tell what if pressed. Just a pit in your stomach. The flashes move from the horizon to you, the building shuttering with every clap. You pray that the storm will end quickly, when suddenly the flashes stop, and the rumbles of the thunder subside, leaving only the roar of the wind. Baffled you move closer to the window to see what is going on when you it. A massive galley with gold engraved along its sides, marred by large scorches and smouldering holes, its tatter sails sticking out the side like massive wings as it slips through the clouds above the ruined city. Unable to comprehend what you are seeing you just gawk at is as tiny specks seem to be thrown from the ship before it touches ground, crumbling like it was made of tinder.

You see several of the building around the ship totter back and forth, some even collapsing like a jenga tower. Realizing what that meant to late, you are thrown to the floor as your own building bucks from the earthquake caused by the impact. As the floor sways back and forth you hear a massive crack from below, as the floor seems to bulge upwards, hurling you into the air, the windows finally succumbing to the violence, spraying you with shards. Clinging to the floor with your hands over your head for cover you do the only thing you can and desperately wait for it to be over. After a long moment of being soaked by the warm rain forced through inside by the winds, you gain the will to look around. First thing you notice is that the floor has collapsed on one side of the room, taking the dividing wall with it. Luckily it looks like the building is in no hurry to collapse... At least for now, but what the hell hit it?

[porne]

I grumble a bit as I finish my crop tending for the day, trying to stretch my back, but my misshapen spine won't let me get rid of the hunch. Still, I try to keep my grumbling to the wisp down, I'm pretty sure it gets annoyed when I complain too much. I stump back through the doors of my 'greenhouse' to my 'real house' of stolen apartments. Dammit, why couldn't me legs finish or not start? I'm pretty sure whatever I'm supposed to have mutated into was supposed to be digitigrade, but the transition seemed to have stopped halfway through, so I've got these big beefy thighs, short shins, and long skinny feet, but I don't have the tendon or musculature layout to actually walk on my toes comfortably. I grumble out loud as I watch a storm build. Not going to try and gather any mana from this storm, last time I was puking corrupted sludge for hours after the fact. Gonna munch on a few of the bug cores, as nasty as they are, if I want to keep my mana supply up.

The flying galley ship is new, and I think my partially transitioned eyes might be doing something odd at first. Nope, that is definitely a flying golden pirate ship. Where was the Ancient Aliens guy when you need him. I stare as the strange ship begins shedding... things. I'm a little surprised that it doesn't just pass through the ground or something instead of crumbling before the sudden collapse of the nearby buildings makes me realize I shou- fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! I slam my arms down, the claws one of the few things that works right as I anchor myself as best I can before I'm tossed about and curl on myself, hoping my enhanced biology is enough to survive. Uncurling, I sit up to look around, noting that I now have a few less walls and floors as I get up and start to explore. I need to make sure this hasn't compromised the building too much.

[Sallin_Kari]

Hobbling over to the hole in the ground you first notice a massive twisted bit of metal that might have been a modern art sculpture if it wasn't embedded into the floor, hanging down above the pit below. Following it down you can see a small wooden boat it seemingly was torn from. You're honestly impressed with how intact the boat is, despite only barely being recognizable as such after the damage. The wisp floats down and illuminates it better and you realize you see a body down there. You can't tell if it alive from up here, but you should see if you can help... right?

[porne]

Could still be modern art, I just didn't expect it to suddenly appear. The presence of a body... that's surprising. I was not expecting... to meet anyone. "Can you tell if they're still alive? Wait, you can't answer that, can you? Give me a minute to get ready and then head down." I say to my little wisp companion, before I glance down below, looking for somewhere I can land safely. One fortunate aspect of my changes is that I'm at least tough as nails, a one story fall won't hurt me, short of landing wrong somehow. I make my way down, only slipping and falling a few times, not that a couple of bricks are going to be an issue.

[Sallin_Kari]

It spins around in a circle at your comments, waiting for you to make your way down. After a rough landing you hear buzzing from the lower levels... The bugs seem to be quite worked up with the storm and earthquake. You hope this won't be a problem. Working you way over to the person you find them. A lithe person with chocolate skin and pointy ears. These must be elves. You've heard about them but never seen them. This one is clearly dead. Looking around you see another half dozen in various states of... intactness. Making your way into what remains of the boat you find someone who might not be dead! You rush over to the intact person, curled around a strange item. They have a pulse but you can get them to respond. The wisp seems to have followed you and lands on the object as you try to figure out what to do with this one.

[porne]

"Hm, most appear to be dead, but I won't know for sure what to do until I get the chance to explore. Probably best to pick them all up if I can." I head toward the living one, picking them up and whatever they had. I investigate the stairs leading up to my floor and make sure it's clear before heading up. If I can, I'll also bring any of the bodies around us as well, I have no idea if death is a permanent thing for them, so I try to be respectful if I'm able. I do keep an eye out for any loot I can get my hands on though, and if anyone has any bags, I search them, looking for potions or anything else that might be magical. Healing potions are a thing, right?

[Sallin_Kari]

There is not a small amount of rubble between you and the door that you have to clear in order to access the stairs, but you do manage to and bring the girl upstairs. Checking for loot reveals that pretty much anything they had was reduced to scrap, but they do have plenty of gold you can peel off... though without access to the outside world you don't know what that'll do for you. Most you got some wood you can use assuming you don't need anything too particularly long and large chucks of metal you can't forge, but might be able to do... something with.

[porne]

Fortunately, one of the few features of this new body that actually works is the muscles. Chunks of wall larger than me barely slow me down as I clear my path and take the still living elf girl up the stairs before I return to investigate the others. Seeing that they're all both dead, and not carrying glowing crystal vials full of potions labeled as such, there's not much else I can do. While I suppose I could strip them for valuable materials for a trade of some kind, that seems... disrespectful. I can come back to arrange the dead to something approaching peace if the living dark elf woman is usable. The fact is, while stable-ish, I wasn't an expert on human biology, much less elven, so the fact that she's not vomiting blood is a good sign, and one I took to mean I had a bit of time, that doesn't mean she's out of danger yet.

I look around to see if the wisp spots anything, before I drag a bit of wood chunks up to partially shield my room so that it's not as obvious that the room is occupied. Then, I head back up to where I stashed the dark elf woman, hoping she's woken up, and if not, I search her, looking for anything that might help.

[Sallin_Kari]

The wisp seems interested in the item that the dark elf was carrying more then anything else, leaving you to care for the dark elf. She seemed... more comatose then asleep or knocked out. She is completely nonreactive. Even opening her eyes doesn't result in any twitching or anything else. Other then breathing she isn't doing anything. That's... probably not a good sign. As you try to figure out what to do you hear skittering from down below... Oh... right... there is a lot of blood and meat just lying about after all the bugs just got woken up by the entire building nearly being knocked down.

[porne]

Fuck, there goes my chance to save those elves. Hm, what to do. I can take out one or two of the big ones if it's alone and not expecting me, but a swarm is far too much. Dammit, I'm going to have to do something gross, aren't I? Sighing, I turn back toward the crash site, looking to see if there's a nearby elevator shaft or other way I can toss the corpses down to the bugs with. While the larger swarms deal with those, I'd expect the smaller scouts to investigate and find little of interest. Hopefully. I begin piling the bodies up by the elevator shaft and emergency stairs, planning to give them a big shove.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Does that work for getting him alone and easily stung/bitten by a poisonous monster? Assuming you don't want Robert to one man army a swarm.

[Sallin_Kari]

Stairwell is closest, and while there is an elevator as well, you figure the open air of the stairwell will better spread the smell then the elevator shaft who's doors are probably still closed over the years. You pile the bodies diligently but as you work the bugs discover it and take much offense to your existences. The two scouts, somewhere in size between a large cat and a dog, leap out at you and you manage to smash one into the wall but the other takes a chuck out of your arm before you throw it down the empty space between the stairs. They are quickly replaced by more and you begin a fighting retreat to your floor, loosing chunks of flesh as you go before you manage to slam the door in their face which they in turn begin tearing at. You slam as many doors as are between your room and them before you collapsing next to the lady, with a sudden sensation of vertigo and nausea. Was this blood loss? Poison? Did it really matter? You were in a bad way and only then you realize that the new big fuck off hole is completely exposed and currently crawling with bugs. The wisp circled you anxiously as you your sight begins to darken and a creeping cold seized your body. This is it? To go out because of some dark elves crashing into your building. What rotten luck.

Suddenly the pain and cold vanished with a warm embrace. So this is death... it's far more welcoming then you were expecting. You body feels light with a comforting strength. What a strange sensation. All that constant niggling pain and discomfort suddenly being lifted. You open your eyes and find yourself in the same place, only surrounded by bugs at this point... In your confusion the begin attacking, and your arm swings out almost instinctively, bifurcating the front row of bugs in a smooth motion as if it was the sharpest of blades. The corpses served enough of a barrier to allow you to gain your bearings. You notice your corpse by your feet... sort of.. It's clearly part of you at least, with the same clothes, and holes from the bug attack, but... you seemed to have been reduces to little more then a bloody puree seeping out the clothes. You realize that your form also strongly resembles that of a female, with the same skin tone as the dark elf.

You can one woman army swarms after you transform.

[porne]

MOTHERFUCKER! LITTLE GODDAMNED BUG BIT A CHUNK OUT OF MY ARM! I let out an inarticulate roaring howl of rage, my brain too distracted to come up with proper 'words' to express my pain as I begin my fighting retreat to the room I was in. The adrenaline seems to drain from me and my missing chunks of flesh as I collapse down on the ground next to the dark elf woman. I stare up at her, the little wisp seeming to be trying to tell me something as all my insides suddenly find themselves convenient paths to my outsides. Hacking up wads of blood and who knows what else, I feel my eyes become heavy.

I spasm when I wake up, my mind reeling a bit before I realize that I'm not currently draining out onto the ground. Wait, is that me on the floor over there surrounded by bugs? Then... I look down to find a delightful pair of globes looking back up at me and I blink at the fact that the skin is considerably smoother and softer looking than the hide I was growing before. The sudden presence of a jumping bug distracts me, and I instinctively surge a bit of mana to my arm in an attempt to speed up the damaged bone structure... that isn't there any more. And... there's no resistance to my mana flows either. I blink, just in time to catch a face full of bug gunk as the thing splits in half with just an instinctive arm slice. Hell, I didn't even know you could do that.

The surrounding bugs seem to trigger something more advanced than a primitive fight or flight reflex, my body shifting without much more thought than 'kill them' and it's suddenly in motion, flowing kung fu forms seeming to manifest as soon as I focus on a target I want killed. As I engage them, I feel a bit of... integration, the movement style and flows becoming more liquid as I begin to understand how the planning works and I just create a general direction and target list consciously, letting my instincts guide my hands as I paint my home in bug parts. Finally calming down, the swarm either dead or retreating for a breath, I look down once more, trying to figure out what the hell is going on.

[Sallin_Kari]

After the swarm has been extensively pruned, and the air was thick enough with bug blood to choke on, you are given time to breath and look around. The dark elf body was no where to be found, confirming your suspicious... but your new outfit was notably tight, not restrictively so, but enough to be a bit uncomfortable and a very noticeable change from the more or less loose fitting outfit you witnessed on her. Looking around further you notice the familiar twinkle of the wisp... only she looks quite a bit different. More like a tiny person then just an amophous blob of light. "I am sorry for changing your body, but you would have died if not for the emergency body swap," She speaks for the first time.

[porne]

I notice the uncomfortable tightness in the clothes once I've got the chance to calm down, and I start searching myself for straps to loosen or something. Shit, even the boots are too tight! Dammit, I'm going to have to raid a clothing goods store or something. Maybe I can find motorcycle armor or something? This body at least seems shaped like a more humanoid version, the heavy hunch and monstrous shoulders too much to really 'fit' properly. I'm distracted by the flying light of the wisp, blinking at the tiny humanoid figure. She... looks familiar in fact, but I'll think about it later.

I let out a light screech when the little wisp speaks to me, before I stare at her. "Could.. could you always talk?" I tell the little lightning bug my mind starting to return. My voice is... better. Instead of the gargling murk, it reminds me of... think, what was that song, it was one of my favorites... Unembraced? Yeah, that was it. "So... is this her body, or mine, or a mix, or what? I don't want to sound like a perv, but I'm fairly confident these clothes were looser before." I mutter out loud, my mind a little... distracted. A quick feel indicates that I do not, in fact, have any dangly parts... but I can definitely feel something giving me the same sort of sensations. A quick prod to the tits also indicates that I should avoid playing with those until I'm somewhere safe, they're sensitive!

After a few seconds, I stare at the wisp. Pixie? Sprite? Whatever. I can inspect myself in later, now I just need to make sure there's nothing else I need to know immediately. With a shake of the head, I focus on her, "Alright, I don't know if we're safe yet, so, it's more important that you let me know if there's any kryptonite factors, or if I'm going to burst into flame if sunlight touches my skin before we... discuss things." I feel my ears flex, listening as I try to assess the surroundings for danger. Damn, these things are awesome! Ooooh, very very giddy. Need to watch for that once I'm safe. Safeish.

[Sallin_Kari]

Unfortunately these clothes seem to be made from a single cut of material, even the boots. There is no flexibility in the design and they could only be tailored for an individual... This is going to be a pain to get out of isn't it.

"No. I had used the magic from the crucible to apply some changes to myself," She replies with a smile, "Your body is... mostly hers. I did take a few choice traits from your original body, as well as bringing over your... sexual organs, as I figure you'd miss them otherwise, but I made some improvements so you don't have to be concerned with it being struck when not... in use."

Listening you don't hear anything moving on this floor. The horde seems to have decided to avoid the upstairs, at least for now, but they are still very active. "No, why would you burst into flames from sunlight!?" She explains in surprise, before thinking for a while, "Well, you will feel very lethargic if you are in an area with lower magic, but with the increasing levels in the last several years, that shouldn't be an issue."

[porne]

Dammit, can I at least undo the top a little bit to let these things breath?

I begin to calm down a little bit. I'm not happy about the active swarm, but I think I've got time to process some of this. Taking a few deep breaths, I turn to my wisp. Pixie? Whatever. "The magic of the what?" I ask, unsure of what's going on. Magic is... magic, so I'm not surprised it does weird things. "...thank you for bringing over my sexual organs, I am indeed quite fond of it." I try to apply a bit of humor, hoping to defuse the tension in the back of my mind. No. No it did not in fact work.

"Look, I don't know the rules of the magic you used! I'm in another body, with... different parts, and I'm moving super graceful, and I can feel weird energy muscles and all kinds of other stuff!" I manage to huff out. This is fucking weird. I start... hell, I don't even start breathing heavily, my body just easily handling my adrenaline surges with normal breathing. Dammit, why does this body have to be so awesome? "Can... can you explain what you did?" I manage to calm down... a little, and make sure to keep my voice quiet.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Is that better for a mind starting to unwind? Also, ain't no cleavage like drow cleavage.

[Sallin_Kari]

You manage to shift it so its a little bit more comfortable but it clearly is going to need to be replaced.

"The crucible," She says, floating over to the item you picked up the elf and slowly trying to lift it for your examination, "It contains powerful magic specializing in transformations, including mental and is what I used to save your life."

She only nods at your joke, retorting, "I did assume as much, after how much you masturbated."

"It's purposefully designed to make an individual into a neigh demi-god of battle, why would they have such ridiculous vulnerabilities?" She snaps back. Before sighing, "Fine, I used this item, called a crucible, to transform you into what you are now, using the body of the brain dead elf, and what remained of your. In addition I took the liberty of completing your incomplete mutation, integrating it with your new form."

[porne]

Dammit. Going to need a raid a sporting goods store or something. When she gets around to my frequent masturbation, entirely because of those strange mutant hormones!, I blush slightly, or I feel it happen. Not sure what happens to my coloration.

I follow along as best I can. "So... so I was partially mutated, not contaminated with some plague? Also... she was braindead? I thought she was... asleep or something. That's... kind of sad?" I find my mind scattering about as I try to pull my focus back. Well... I no longer look like a horrid mutant or something, I'm pretty sure I can get myself into a city if I need to. And the strength! It's fantastic! "So... what do we do now?" I ask, overwhelmed at how much my life changed in a matter of moments.

[Sallin_Kari]

"Yes, she seemed to be attacked with magic," She explains, "I suspect the entire ship was struck by the magic as they escaped otherwise they should have been able to dodge the building. Whatever brought down the airship didn't seem to want their prey to escape."

She pauses at your asking what to do next, "That I am uncertain. I believe it would be wise to leave soon. The insects should not be a major threat, but who ever attack the dark elves is likely still in the area and very well might check here, and it would be best not to cross paths."

[porne]

"Oh... Okay." I feel my body begin to tingle as the pixie's warning begins to cause me to panic again. The question is, how much of my old abilities work now? I do some basic hops, trying to gauge my muscle output. Before, I was incredibly strong, but my body didn't work right and it was difficult to actually apply it. If I'm anywhere near as powerful, I should be able to simply jump as needed. I wonder if my legs can take a terminal impact now?

I pat the clothing I'm wearing, looking to see if there's a... pouch or anything else useful I might need to bring with me. Otherwise, it's probably time to test some things out. I do a quick check to see if there's any... magic that lets me teleport or anything. It should be present in my mind, right? Otherwise, I begin to test how much punishment my legs can absorb so I can begin skipping from roof top to rooftop. Or running through a floor, most of the walls are little better than drywall with some aluminum struts in most buildings. I could punch through it with ease if I needed to, so I should be able to do it even better now, right?
