Originally, I was going to go for a goblin, but at some point I just went, "You know what? Pixie."



I hope this is okay. I actually finished this a couple of hours ago, but just now I'm getting around to posting it. Now, it's time for this Brit to go to sleep.

It's ultimately up to you, but I think the time-skip is going to be sooner rather than later. Maybe hold off until I post the next update?

@ShwiggityShwah
Accepted! Like you mentioned, she won't be able to take that specific form quite yet in the RP--until other Skills or Forms are obtained for the Slime, they typically remain blobby goo balls. But you can work towards that!
How interesting. Order and Chaos in motion, transitioning seamlessly from one to the other. You were born in a chaotic household, I'm sure. So many children, two parents with full time jobs I'm sure, lots of screaming and struggling and working and never a dull moment--or a calm one, either. In such a chaotic environment, of course you wanted Order. You wanted a System to get what you wanted, and you accomplished those goals no matter what it took. But once you enforced that Order, what did you do with it? You sired four screaming children of your own, you and your husband both worked yourselves to the bone for everything you could get, and ultimately you were right back where you started.

Skill Gain: Deception I
Like other charismatic skills, your personality is almost a magical charm unto itself. You'll have greater luck deceiving others, whether it be through words or sleight of hand.

Rather than ret-conning anything, just have the nearby conversation about "people from Urth" trigger his memories or something. Or just have him awaken them in a dream while sleeping through the night. It's up to you what you do and how, but I'd rather not make any more retroactive changes than necessary.

@CollectorOfMyst
Accepted!
Ah, precious children. The most vicious of monsters, aren't they? Have you ever noticed they never have to be taught to hit, to steal, or to scream? They have to be taught to not do those things, and that those behaviors are bad. The truest indicator of mankind's inherent corruption, don't you think?

Skill Gain: Scribe I
Your imagination and the medium through which it flowed onto the paper has been reborn. This skill's current rank allows the user to take any spell that they know, and inscribe it upon an object. That item can be used to release the spell at any time and by anyone. The same MP cost of the spell, plus the MP cost of this skill, is used up when enchanting the item.

Does evolving reset our level?

@Duthguy It either will or won't - for all we know, monster evolution is triggered by level-ups. We certainly wouldn't be back where we first started.

@Zeroth Thanks for having me! I assume this makes me clear for an IC post? I'm not sure if it actually came across, but Scott is from England and was 16 or so at the time of.

Honestly haven't decided on that yet, because I planned for evolved monsters to have offspring of the same species. For instance, two goblins that evolve into hobgoblins, and then into orcs, and then have a child would have an orc child. But would an orc child still be more powerful than an adult goblin due to evolution? Is it born with the same skill build-up of raw stats or other things? I'm still trying to figure some things out and this is one of them. As of right now, though, I'm leaning towards saying that levels won't reset, or at the least you'll have separate levels for each form, and then a total level that's a combination of them.

Interesting way of handling procreation, plus that basically proves that Rattle isn't an evolved Goblin otherwise his children wouldn't be Goblins

Like Kazemitsu said, Rattleskull's children are goblins because he reproduced with goblins. If Rattleskull were to find another evolved goblin of the same species as himself, his offspring would instead be of his own species.

I decided on such a thing because that way monster populations aren't interdependent on each other to survive. Orcs can feud with Goblins or Hobgoblins without wiping themselves out, because not all Orcs begin life as Goblins or pass through the Hobgoblin stage. As long as there are enough Orcs to maintain genetic diversity--regardless of what those Orcs started their lives as--they can reproduce with each other to create more Orcs.

Some monsters have specific reproductive capabilities that keep them from being wiped out in a world that is constantly fighting and killing them, or their reproduction involves magic in some fashion so it's a little different, etc. For instance, Goblins are known as rapidly reproducing pests, so they're killed a lot. A male goblin can produce viable offspring with various other species, but in most cases--such as humans, elves, etc--the child will always be a goblin. This adaption means even though a single party of adventurers might wipe out a whole tribe, a single straggler would have enough reproductive options to keep the species from going extinct.

The details have some rather disturbing implications, but hey what's a fantasy world without some lore?

Lost the Discord

Also, I'm going to be going on hiatus in another two weeks soon due to RL obligations and will actually be gone a couple of weeks afterward.

I'm afraid I'll miss alot of the RP and might consider bowing out.

It was a fun time.

If by some chance you have the time or want to come back afterwards, I clicked the box for "set this link to never expire" so hopefully it'll always work.
