[OOC/AU] Critter-specific Roleplay

[Pichi2214]

OH rip sorry, must've overlooked that in the long messages

[skinstealer]

ye its alright! i figure this would be a good way to reward participation and actually completing a task, similarly to how FFRP generates money via making profiles but...more work lmao

[Pichi2214]

True!
This does also mean I could bring back my bigeye collector.... not like as a bank, but maybe they could work at the guild and handle giving out in character 'money' for rp purposes to critters who successfully completed a thing.. and they probably do some other small tasks around the guild as well
If that's cool with yall

[skinstealer]

yeah thats fine! i dont know Where thatd be roleplayed out or anything if at all but we can go with that as lore, or that there's a couple people working shifts there

[Pichi2214]

I mean I was assuming in the guild hall? ..wait I don't think we specified a guild hall, up until now I've been imagining like a lil building with the quest board in front of it whoops

[skinstealer]

i think there's a hall but the bulletin board is the only Thread ive brought up, idk if i want to make too many locations that serve general purposes but if people are interested in me making a thread for it thats also fine

[Pichi2214]

Oh! That also reminds me, you think there's something like a post office for communicating with other critter settlements? Maybe that could be combined with a guild hall

[Pichi2214]

I have now been possessed by the mental image of tiny mail bats who are like the letter sending pigeons that carry letters between settlements and i think that'd be really cute, so the post office would also be a spot to take care of tired small bats and I just think that's neat (bigger packages would probably require the guild to escort someone there so again it'd make sense to combine the two)

[skinstealer]

yeah that could absolutely be combined with the guild hall

im gonna hold off on making it a thread for now just bc i have no idea what would like, Be The Focus There for roleplays aside from "its a place" and i dont want to have toomany just, generalized places esp when we have a small character base so far

[Pichi2214]

Yep yep, I was just about to post that actually
It can just be in the lore for now, until it becomes relevant enough that people want to rp specifically in that space!

[7:39 PM]mortis velasquez: dropped my proposal for critter neighborhoods
[7:39 PM]mortis velasquez: critters do not HAVE to stick to their species' neighborhood
[7:39 PM]mortis velasquez: its just where they spawn and are usually able to make homes easier environment-wise
[7:39 PM]mortis velasquez: actually fuck im putting this in the thread

 

[A.VOID]

I am poking in just to say I like the idea of all of the neighborhoods!
Also the 'wilds' could be like, a vaguely?? Fairyland deal? Where things shift and change around but if you Know it you can navigate them. Would be a good explanation for the wildcard biomes.

(also oh my gosh please yes to mail bats, I Need them. But also consider pigeon-adjacent things for day trips?)

[skinstealer]

oh i like that for the wilds!!

[Pichi2214]

question: are the neighborhood areas part of the starting town or are they little settlements (pocket dimensions?) that you can find while you're out exploring?


also re mail bats and day trips, ive just kinda imagined that like.. since they primarily live with critters and are taken care of maybe they arent necessarily nocturnal in the same way? cause there's no need to hunt for food unless the trips are exceptionally long
iirc there's bats on earth too that live in places with enough food available that they aren't strictly nocturnal anymore
(if we want we can still have a bird esque species too for something, i just thought itd be neat to have non birds in this role cause usally i just see bird creatures doing this job :>)

[skinstealer]

hmmmm im going to define this a bit better

NEIGHBORHOOD: a pocket dimension with entrances found all over the world- if you know where you're going, you'll get there, but some locations are near landmarks (so if you want two critters to be neighbors, you can). no one's seen the boundaries of them, and new critters typically tend to pop up within these or in wild areas close by their respective neighborhood's entrance. critters showing up in different areas (both wild and neighborhood) does happen, though!

also i may do some doodles today

[Pichi2214]

ooohh gotcha, that works

also :O!!!! doodles! i should draw critters.....
(on that note just cause im excited, any idea when you'll get to drawing the new critter types?)

[skinstealer]

i think ill be starting today actually, im in the Mood To Stream despite having more important things to do

[Pichi2214]

niceee, stream sounds fun, ill definitely be there if you start soon enough !!

[A.VOID]

Oh yeah that's super super fair Pichi, I didn't actually know that about bats!! (And also yes I am big big for bat mail carriers because bats are love)

I also like the pocket dimension neighborhoods. Do you think there would be any critters that just choose to live outside of them, in the 'wilds?'
Also ngl a very small gacha machine corner for fun little nothings could be fun. Maybe I just want to play imaginary gacha and give people goofy little things tho, idk. (I am not super awake but didn't want to only say one thing lol)
