Polymelia-Class Plant Spores

THIS FILE IS PROPERTY OF THE SILVER HAND INTELLIGENCE OFFICES
ACCESS RESTRICTED

Name: N/A

Class: Plant Spore, Carnivorous

Disposition: Passive/Aggressive

Description: Found anywhere the Spore has enough room to root itself, the plant usually grows to maturity quickly over the course of about 5 weeks. Once it reaches it's adult forms, the diameter of the main digestive pot, which also seems to be the 'thinking' part of plant, can range in length anywhere from 3 to 15 feet (1-4.5 Meters), and range from about 3 to 7 feet (1-2.1 Meters) in height. The large 'pot' that makes up the largest central part of the plant contains digestive acids and enzymes of various strengths and potencies, usually depending on size.

The most startling feature of this plant is the massive amount of vines that continuously grow out from below the digestive pot, which have been recorded to be as large as 25 feet (7.62 Meters) in length. The vines are used by the digestive pot to gather food and capture prey, but have also been known to do smaller tasks, such as turn knobs and tear pieces of meat in half.

There is no obvious way to tell if a particular spore will be aggressive or passive, and scientists still have not figured out what causes aggression in these plants. Nurturing or abusing the plant as sproutlings has not appeared to have any affect on the plant's disposition, but adult plants will always respond to aggression with aggression, regardless of if they were already aggressive or not.

Handling: Do NOT approach ANY of these plants unless you have no choice. As stated above, there is no obvious way to tell if one is aggressive or not, and it is safer not to figure out the difference. When bothered, these plants will respond with immediate homicidal aggression, and it's use of many, many, very lengthy vines can result in very quick and painful death. The exact strength of the vines is still unknown, but they have been recorded to have the ability to break bones, so use caution.

If a Polymelia Class spore has to be eliminated, there is no certain way to kill it. Destroying the entirety of the digestive pot and stem seems to be the best way to eliminate it, but it's vines have been recorded to stay alive up to 4 hours after destruction of the digestive pots. Dismembering the vines will work for short amounts of time, but unless the digestive pot and stem is destroyed, or the vine is cut off at it's bottom most point, that vine and more will grow back over the course of days, varying on the size of spore.

@Aeon
On the topic of new plants & animals, would you be accepting concepts for other creatures that we might not necessarily have met in the RP?

Very Nice Fire. I will update soon.

[Hanami]

Okay, CS is updated! I'm skipping class tomorrow because I've barely gotten any sleep the last 4 days (insomnia + just plain busy), so I plan on posting then.

[Syben]

Looking forward to it, I'm probably most interested to see what your character is going to do, or how she will insert herself into whatever it is that she is going to do.

i'll be posting in a couple of days but am actively working on a post. ^^hopefully sooner it'll be up.& did you already have an image in your mind as to what you wanted darklings to look like, Ae?Vera is going to battle some so I'll either need to make some up or get a description. ^^I know they're like wolves but are they grapefruit colored?

Aeonumbra said
A creature of blackened flesh, much like a wolf, but all skin, teeth, and talons. With their stubby, pig like snout, they were almost comical; in the trying to maim you kind of way. Darklings never got this close to the wall unless they were really hungry.

Also, they are dark,as in black. Either stick to that description, OR, you can build off of it to make an even more demented and twisted creature. But I do want a short profile on it to put into the creature compendium. (we can pretty much just follow Fire's Make-Shit-Up Sheet)

I will be adding Fire's Make-Shit-Up sheet near the "CS" hider tomorrow.

Also Fire. Give it a name please, the plant, otherwise I'm going to call it a Snaggletooth.

*le streeeetch* mmmkay. Time to get caught up and make a show offy post vuv

[kapuchu]

Alright, Aeon. You said we could come with ideas for custom creatures? Here we go!

Tartaric

Name: Tartaric

Class: Arachnid

Disposition: Aggressive/Carnivorous (may appear playful to trick its prey)

Description: Can be nearly anywhere where there are either Infected or human settlements. It is as big as a grown man’s palm at the time of birth, sporting eight legs and a scorpion-like tail with a standard stinger attached at the end. The entire body, including the tail, is covered in coarse fur similar to that of short haired dog’s. Colour varies from jet black to light brown to a creamy white. As opposed to many of its arachnid cousins, the Tartaric only have two pupil-less eyes located above a cat-like mouth. The Tartaric, when fully grown, is about thirty centimetres in length, and twenty in width, including the legs (sizes may vary). When it matures, after roughly two months, the stinger on its tail falls away, given way to an empty hole through which it can spray a powerful acid which will quickly melt through clothes flesh. Even wood and stone falls prey to its acid, but most metals - as well as their own bodies - seems to be resistant to the acid. The acid is stored in a small sack near the base of its tail, holding enough for five ‘sprays’ before it has to generate new acid, which takes sixteen to twentyfour hours, depending on size.

Its preferred way of hunting is eating its prey alive, immobilizing it by destroying its legs or other limbs with their acid and then feast upon where the acid hit, taking out chunks of the already weakened flesh.

Cases of the Tartaric appearing playful to try to make its prey (whether unknowing human or good-natured critter) play with it, and lower its guard have been observed. All cases of such have resulted in the Tartaric attacking soon after, spraying acid in the eyes and on the limbs of its victims. This behavior hints at a higher brain function than the average predator, although nothing substantial aside from this has been observed.

Its wild lifespan is unknown, although one held in captivity and fed dead meat daily survived for two years.

Hope you like it!

I assume your character is choosing to pass up on Eli's red note?
I also am interested to see this "show-offyness". I may pay money to see it xD

Looking forward to it levi.

[ReaptheMusic]

Sorry, Eli's Red Note? :< I thought I read everything pretty thoroughly. I have to take breaks from reading text walls sometimes because of my eyes. I didn't mean to pass you up Aeon. Let me go find what you mean and get back to you in a sec.

Edit:
Okay I see what you mean now, yeah I saw it I just forgot it ^^' I plan to incorporate it into my next post.

[Syben]

No worries. It's near the end of my IC post, it's also on the front page under "The Post" , near the "Refuge" Section, second post I think.

It's just an opportunity, but listed under the post are other opportunities. Not all of them are story driven, some of them are duds, but there will always be more than one choice than what I give you or where my character goes. It's not that big of a deal, I was just curious.

If you do however want to take up on that opportunity, you may edit your post, or build upon it to include that information. It's really just what you want to do. Imagine this world as an RPG, what will you do, where will you go, it's all up to you. I'm just the AI who tries to kill you make life interesting.

[ReaptheMusic]

...? oh. My post didn't edit *sticks my tongue out in dismay*

What was SUPPOSED to be edited onto my post there was that I had seen the note after all, I'd just forgotten about it. Plus with the show-offyness of my next post/'role call' I was thinking I'd have Lauren discover it then ^^;;;; I think it'd be a good opportunity for all our characters to meet up or interact!

(also if my next post is too show-offy and your feeling that please let me know and I'll tone it down, I just kinda want to show what Lauren and her other fellow Scouts can do ^^ )

[Syben]

Sure. Though, my next post is meeting up with the group so.. do you want to double post? Or since I need to collab with everyone who is joining the mission, we can pen you in right at the end before we leave the gates etc.

I've been doing errands all day, so I will update the compendiums when I get some free time.

---

Levi you never answered me, do you want to stick with my description of the darklings? or create your own? my IC post can be easily edited so don't worry about that.

[ReaptheMusic]

Pen me in ^^;;;; I'll have her running late and stuff. I'll just edit my current post. No need to double post unless i get in there late. though i had hoped for a big tipoff. okay lets see what i can muster up.

---

All done
phew

Also I'm dumb

I put 'Faust' as Laurens last name on her hider and have been confusing her true last name with the one I originally intended, not just for her but for her entire family

It's Ritsu

No wonder why i kept wanting to type that

[Hanami]

I'm going to finish up my post tonight, but to clarify ahead of time, I'd like to volunteer to decline the mission, just to see what alternate event you have in mind. :p I'll position Wen so she could potentially run into some/all of the group, if you wanted to pen her in as well (even just briefly) that'd be dandy. c:
