Woohoo! My plan is to post once everyone has posted what they want to, or when 7 days have passed since the last post, whichever comes first.

SOOORRRTTT of tempted to give this a whirl?!

I was trying to think of some ideas and so far have mainly been caught up in the following...

Krita, the Inhabitants



Scattered around the world are the mysterious mushroom-goblin... things known by various names. Chittering away in their peculiar, high pitched language, they seem to live in every hidden and secretive corner of the globe and never seem to run out of... people(??), though it's unsure to most exactly how sentient they are. They seem to express a range of basic emotions and can manipulate human technology with minimal training, however.

Often used as willing slave labour by the callous and opportunist, the 'Inhabitant' known as Krita is an unusual specimen, unremarkable in many ways... aside from an ability to speak english, and the ability to rally and command his fellows with an unrelenting charisma. Although he is no more than a foot tall and has the physical strength of a day old sponge cake, his ability to summon legions of his fellow small mushroom-goblin-cake compatriots can prove a fearsome sight.

...

Well, maybe *fearsome* isn't the right word.

Either way, Krita and his particular community work as engineers and maintenance workers on the ship, keeping all of the little nooks and crannies working okay.

@Eventua Hey hi hullo! The concept is pretty cool and fits well I think!

As a character concept, I think it could work -- the restriction is that the character at least be human in origin, which can easily be had here by simply saying the Inhabitants' ancestors were in fact human. Stranger things have happened (see The Witnessed Day). The army of helpers would essentially be your character's pets, since they have very limited sentience.

Just because you'll be playing an unusual number of your own NPCs I'd like to ask if any of the current players have questions or concerns I might not have thought of. I also want to remain fair! Maybe you and I could share control of the Inhabitants, or limit the number onboard? Or if everyone absolutely loves the idea I'll leave it to fate, haha.

@Mokley all good with daBomba girl here boss. Well as long as the horde doesn't become a major focal point until it is their turn to be focused upon. Somehow keeping one or two of them as main charas/leaders I guess?

@Mokley The idea is good to me, though I do think that the number of the mushroom creatures shouldn't be particularly overwhelming or able to be summoned at any type of situation or place, as it might create some awkward circumstances. In the end, it's just about being sensible with how to use it, so it shouldn't really be a problem. The whole idea of them being engineers and workers of the ship is really cool, so I would be totally down for it.

@Eventua I love them already. They remind me of the Kodama in Princess Mononoke, which are some of my favorite little dudes. Join me in vaguely barely human supremacy.

@Mokley @Eventua I am on board! It creates new possibilities and deeper lore for the RP and stuff. Plus, I'd think there'd be some a lot of situations where Stone would attempt to eat them mushroom thingies. She won't get sick, she never gets sick, so it can also help the plot I have for her which won't be happening after one or two had happened. The concept with them the engineers also works well and I don't really have reservations on their numbers,provided most of them work behind the scenes - occasionally giving PCs interactions every now and then. If it's their time to shine then bring on the mushroom apocalypse! XD

Glad to hear you all like them, I will write up a sheet soon.

I was thinking that the 'Inhabitants' (maybe need a different name?) living onboard the ship maybe have a community of fifty to a hundred or so, but so long as they're not all rounded up and eaten/killed in one go they can (somehow??) reproduce quickly enough to restore that number with minimal handwaving.

Krita him(her?)self is irreplacable to the captain though (since without Krita the others are liable to either grow out of control or leave at the next harbour and, even if they stay, they can't be relied on to act with the same level of unity and skill that they do under Krita's command) and so wears a red scarf and a whistle at all times.

Meanwhile, the communities of Inhabitants in other places/towns/landmarks are likewise fairly small - normally not more than a hundred, maybe two or three hundred in a really big city - but tend to likewise remain about the same short of all dying in quick succession. That said, there aren't communities of them *everywhere* - I'm thinking that perhaps each episode/adventure, @Mokley could discuss with the relevant/key players whether there should be [X] number of communities of Inhabitants in a given place.

There's also the aspect that they're really not that dangerous? They're not very agile (though they can run fairly quickly) and even a small child could probably fight three or four of them at once with relatively little difficulty. Useful helpers and engineers (potentially), not so much helpful warriors.

Okay, that's it for Stone for me right now. Going to wait for a GM post or someone to interact with her. Laters. ;)

@vide + @Vaelin150 Awww... Stone and Whisper didn't wanna join the hum n' purr party ;P But awww yeeeeh Lucky will defo join Stone with in the meat n' eat meet and greet the little mushroom goblins ;PP

Wait... @Eventua are your little guys made of plant flesh or meat flesh? Umm, yes, it is a question that holds relevance... ;DD Oh! And like may I suggest Bobblings or Mushlins as to what your little guys could be called? idk its what i thought of when i saw that youtube ;D

@Scrub Mage Man really diggin' the interactions between your stoic bug-person and my manic cat-person wow! :] So I think we have a bit of a problem but a really neat one though; Day uses telepathy to communicate, but Lucky has a resistance to it. But she can sense his strongest emotions while she is in a good mood and purrs. Interesting eh...?

@Mokley Well alrighty then boss. Looks like daBomba is gunna do up one more post too and then tap out this round :]

@Eventua It makes me want to stop Stone from trying to eat them... but! Stone is Stone, and I hope she won't get to eat any single one of them bobblings. I'm rooting for Krita, and if Stone's not too occupied, she would too! Probably...
