Thanks!

Masquerading as a doctor seemed like something she would be enjoy and be good at (I figure she rather deep understanding of the anatomy of humans and others given her supernatural talents).

And practicing medicine means easy access to bad times and people suffering to feed from...but also to help/push.

Admittedly I lied to you Etsy, I'm working on the character sheets now and have almost finished them both xD

I love it. I can't wait to see her in action when we start the IC.

Oh well that's wonderful news! I look forward to seeing it!

@Estylwen Let me know if I need to change anything!
Added both of my guys. I'm terrible to Wren, which is perfect for this :D
Plus internal struggle for which side he wants to be with!

I'm open to the idea. If a player Wild wants to bind up, shoot me a message and we can coordinate.

It wouldn't even have to be a previous binding, could be something brand new from the characters running into each other.


I may be interested, and I think my idea for a Wild could work with your character's angle.
Will submit before DMing you to make sure it's all fleshed out first.

Hello! That is entirely up to the player. Wilds are known to have physical forms or ghost-like forms. However, all forms have a physical heart present.

The Wild becomes bound to the human. If they are spectral they will live inside the human. If they are corporeal they will live around the human. They will have a mental tether that binds their souls, allowing them to communicate telepathically. The Wild will feast on the humans emotions, either positive or negative, depending on the type of Wild. And the human will in turn gain powers. These powers can be enhanced if enough suffering happens.


Thanks for the details. I have a few more questions:
- How big can they get? I was thinking of making a Wild that feeds on fear or anger, and it would be reasonable to assume these emotions are abundant in such a setting, which means they are quite well-fed.
- Is there a set distance between Wild and bound human (kinda like how the Wi-Fi signals weaken and stop working after a certain point)? If this happens, what are the effects (ex: human's Wild-given powers stop working, Wild gets hungrier, etc.)
- Regarding the powers, does it have to be consensual for it to work, or can a Wild give and take away the powers freely? And when bound to one, does it mean it cannot choose another?
- Can a Wild give powers to only one human?
- Can a Wild feed on more than one human's emotions? I feel like the answer here is yes... though I asked just to be sure.
- If Wilds feed on emotions, do they have their own? If so, can they feed on each other?
- How are Wilds born/created? (Or is this a plot point you will reveal later in the story?)
- If the Wilds were brought into this world via accident, what is keeping them from staying in their world / going back through the tear?

For sure!
1. Most Wilds are human size or the size of a one-story building, maybe a little bigger.

2. I'd say 100 feet is about the distance they ought to stay within before Wilds and their human begin to feel a tugging on their hearts that gets more and more painful the further away they are.

3. It doesn't have to be consensual, a lot of Wilds simply start haunting humans and the humans have no say in the matter. A wild can be bound to only one other human, and once they are bound, they cannot without their powers. Everything is linked, the powers, how they are telepathically connected, everything. A binding can be undone, but it takes a lot of time, effort, and can sometimes be painful.

4. Wilds are split into positive emotion feeders and negative emotion feeders. They typically satiate themselves on one or the other.

5. This will be revealed later in the story. All Wilds know how they were drained from their home in the Perishing Event, where a tear threw them into our world.

6. When they came through the tear into our world, the 'amniotic fluid', what we call the Abyss Energy drained from their world and interspersed into ours, causing all the plants to decay and dust to wreak havoc. Without this 'fluid', their world is like a popped water balloon, and is uninhabitable. Our world is habitable because the fluid still lives in the air, albeit at a much less dense rate.

Does that answer your questions alright?

Nope, it's a free-for-all posting spree. Post when you can, and I will make intermittent posts throughout.

Looks great! There's only two things I want to clarify. His hide, I imagine it would be immune to regular bullets, but not to Abyssal Energy bullets?

How is his skin temperature?

Also, the abyssal connection would read 'Natural Subjugation' instead of 'None'.

1. Yes.
2. I imagine that the skin keeps the heat inside, but when he's wounded, the parts around the wounds get pretty hot.
3. Noted, will edit!

The original image I used for her is gone, but I suppose it's not the end of the world since some time has passed right?

@Estylwen I'm waiting for your updated remarks on religion in the world, before I further my cs along. I have the basics of what I want in my character, but I don't want it muddled with inconsistencies. There's no rush, of course. I'm just letting you know. <3

@Lexisheeps Sorry for the wait, here it is!



Let me know if you need more details!

@illirica There's not a thing I would change, I love the concept of an engineer, and the concept of how Abyssal Energy is converted and used. Feel free to place them in the CS tab when you have a moment!
