Warning

A break on this side is good because the whole topic about Ar Tonelico was starting to go a lot more complicated than it should be. A step back to look at things might be good. If I keep Emiko, what we know so far is that she is, in a way, a computer program. A part of things wanted her as a weapon, another part, as a live experience. As for the soulspace, this is basically like turning your mind and memories into a databank. The mascot of that thing (or whatever company is behind it all) could be Mecha Mao. That's just my ideas, to be honest. But still, could be fun. No idea how sex would be involved in this though. Either for Mao or Emiko IF any is even involved.

Shinigami felt the same as Jumi for a bit but at least her teasing of Mitsuko and display of her in front of her was not too criminal. A demon might have done worse by now. The fox turned to the girl who was still snuggling against Mitsuko's butt for now, keeping her hands away from her vaginal area, instead holding her legs for now. It didn't stop their friend from being teased by it. "Be honest or leave, she wants to know your intentions. If you're not here to hinder or hurt us, speak.", she snarled as her tailed whipped around again. This only made the reaper rub her face playfully against Mitsuko more. "I miss having you around... Make a choice but for now, I'm enjoying this one quite a lot.", she said naughtily. Mitsuko was keeping herself from gasping or worse, moaning. It wasn't really that she was being pleasured but it was the first time a girl was just snuggling her naked body's softness like that. She did give some tiny movements from it and could barely hide how her pussy reacted to it but she was not begging to be saved, partly enjoying it despite the situation she was in. Shinigami at least felt less annoyed by it, seeing as she wasn't trying to torture her. Missing her, though? Did she feel the same as Mitsuko and maybe Jumi? "Enough with your games... No apples, no punishments. You do as they wish then I will give you what you want.", Shinigami said. The reaper however showed one. "Not even one more?" From behind Mitsuko, she held one apple with a normal appearance. "I promise this one is a good one. My apples are magical and if she eats it, she will get what she wants.", the reaper precised before she looked at Jumi, "The effect is temporary but lasting long enough for you to do to her what you want plenty. It might be uncomfortable for the transformation part, though.", she then explained, as Jumi will need to grow a penis for this to work. "Besides, I can sense that she is getting ready for it. She has been dripping for a moment, now.", she said teasingly, "I am not...! A-am I...? You chained me while you're doing this...", she protested, making the girl smile and pass the apple to Jumi before she stood up. The reaper turned around to the front of Mitsuko, suddenly making her clothes vanish as she moved, and gave her a kiss on the lips before she touched her pussy for the first time, just enough to make her fingers wet then bring them to her mouth for her to taste it herself. Mitsuko finally gasped but blushed as she was made to taste her own juice. The girl then looked at the others, "Do we have a deal, then? No games, only fun. I have no reasons to try and hurt you.", she said, dropping the playfulness for a moment to be more serious. Shinigami watched, seeing Mitsuko not being in any real danger then gave Jumi a look. "I think it's safe... Otherwise, I will crush and punish her myself, my way.", she warned.

I oddly forgot that this club existed and got surprised when I saw a post from it. Maybe it's the inactivity or something. Or my dumb brain being weird.

"I was tasked by Death himself to do what I had to. Shinigami would never have obeyed a human otherwise, or so I was told. I am not to question his orders.", the reaper replied to the first part. Shinigami only listened but her gaze turned to Jumi. "That apple could have meant anything but I didn't think that she would use it to gate herself here...", the fox said before she finally focused on the reaper. "...And what was the plan? Put me on a leash to do your bidding? Torture me for your pleasure? Fool me for as long as you can toy with me?", she asked, growing upset with her being an annoyance, now holding Mitsuko hostage after she toyed with Jumi before as well. Or whatever she was doing with her. The reaper playfully lowered herself behind Mitsuko who was held by the chains to her arms anyway, her face now close to the girl`s side. "Oh, don't be so dramatic, Shini. You never had a leash on you and we did have some good time, didn't we? I was forced to punish you after your attempt to destroy everything. Death was very angry with you. The plan was never to bring you back but to let you go if that's what you desired. That little pest then interfered but I created a diversion. It was fun.", she explained, making Mitsuko look down a bit. "You helped us...?", she asked, wondering if it was intended or not. "In a way... I am not a good girl, though. Not by your magical standards.", she replied impishly. Shinigami did not seem entirely convinced and looking down, the symbol on her breast finally had faded. Death was toying with her or she was but she did not sound like she was lying. "What do you want, now?", she asked her, still keeping an eye on Mitsuko and Jumi. The reaper knelt down, her hands still on the schoolgirl`s body, rubbing her face against the side of her butt gently, only getting Mitsuko to feel unusually aroused about her touch. "To help... In exchange for some time with you. Jumi wants to feel what it's like to have sex with Mitsuko like you do. I only ask for some time in bed with you. It's a fair deal, isn't it? I've treated this girl well and she knows it. She even likes it...", she muttered. Shinigami eyed Jumi a bit then Mitsuko. "You know that if you're lying, she WILL tell me and I will hurt you...", she warned the reaper, somewhat protectively toward the schoolgirl who was forced to stand still and take the shiver-giving touch. "I-I am fine, Shinigami... She surprised me but she feels nice, for now.", Mitsuko said, looking at Jumi to reassure her as well as the reaper did not do anything close to rape her yet but the girly touch teased her lesbian fantasy a little bit. For now, that girl simply held her from behind her, watching them. Shinigami sighed, knowing that it might work but she looked at Jumi. "What do you think? She knows magic that you might enjoy. It's your choice.", she precised.

Mitsuko didn't look too afraid but rather surprised by the turn of events and her current situation. Being held by a woman was not the worst that could happen and her scent was almost enticing but she still had in mind what she had done to Shinigami, what she was capable of, who she represented. The chains that held her arms and legs pressed against her skin but thankfully didn't hurt her. She could feel her hand against her stomach, caressing her like she was hers, an arm wrapping against her body. Mitsuko hoped that she would not get any funny ideas regarding her but she was still curious about why she was doing this, if she did not plan to humiliate her, in her words, like she had done to the fox, The girl smiled confidently but mischievously for herself, keeping her eyes on Jumi. "Don't be so much of a stuck-up... Besides, isn't this exactly how you've found Shinigami? It's all for fun. Demons would not understand the beauty of Death and his gift to the world. This isn't about him, though. I did not come here to preach.", she said, still treating Mitsuko gently for the moment, making her feel some uncertain shiver of comfort but still trusting her friend to help if things went bad. As Jumi spoke of who the reaper was going to humiliate instead, she rolled her eyes. "Ugh, why are you so primitive? We're only having fun... Drop it, girl. I am not after you or your soul. Shinigami is why I am here...", she replied. Shinigami eyed Umi when she shared her feeling, "So it is... ር፱ዪነቹ... Your god is aware, obviously. I will deal with that...", she said as they went, hoping to make sure that the two were safe. It might have sounded weird that she felt protective toward them but she also had helped them escape the first time. Something about them made her feel good? Once they were finally there, the fox gave her a nod, planning to go along with that plan depending on how things went. The feeling only grew stronger as she went to the building and inside, taking a careful look around. She followed her feeling to the door of their room then listened a bit before she sighed and entered, staring at the sight while the girl smiled. "ሃዐ፱...", Shinigami coldly muttered, eyeing Jumi to make sure that she was alright. Mitsuko appeared to be in a slightly aroused state this but it was hard to tell if the reaper or Jumi had done that with how she was holding the college girl. What could she want, now? The reaper turned her attention to Jumi. "So, as I was saying, she is why I am here... I am her guardian angel, so to speak. You took her away from me so now, you have to deal with me.", she then explained, not making Shinigami happier about it. Mitsuko was not sure if she liked the idea but the girl sure tried to make her feel good or something alike with her gentle massage. "I seem to have heard that you both wanted some fun.", she teased.

Cool. Good old dnd stuff then. Just wanted to make sure for reasons. I know we spoke of "making npcs" before but I don't know if that was something for me as a player. I'll be a little more careful when choosing a definitive character but looking forward to see what ideas others come up with. So far, I think I am fine with almost anything... Issue is, I don't know what I'm not fine with. I mean, it's not about me but about what's in the world. There can be anything. I'm just not fine with everything sex wise.

...Not sure what you mean by chem tech. (Alchemy? Or literal chemistry weapons/guns/machines.) Would be insane if a zeppelin ship tried to use that weapon to spread some chem. About species, that's nice. I might still OR not take my steampunk girl which I found before. But I am still waiting for that, just in case I find something else that I might like better. :) As for what Dream said for "do not want", I totally agree. Lewds is good but a fair balance is nice and I think we all want to experience some of the world's ideas and story with this. Question, though: Can we use more than one character? Reason I ask is I know we spoke of NPCs but do we only have one player character? I'm only wondering, for different styles.

Mitsuko appreciated the gentleness of Jumi about it. She still was not giving up about it, only getting used to how sex was like in this magic reality. She probably would never have done much on her own but jumi and the others broke the ice with her by involving her in situations she'd only imagine in written or drawn fantasies. "It's alright, I understand. It's hard to be used to this but I had a good time with you at that manor. If only I was allowed to go around naked more like that...", she said, just letting her thoughts spoken out. She trusted that jumi wouldn't put her in a situation she didn't want to. She did that to herself when she decided to go with Shinigami, stupidly sacrificing herself to save everyone. That voice floated around and it mildly scared Mitsuko but Jumi seemed to know how to handle it, somehow. "Aww, you're boring... Still bitter, aren't you?", the voice spoke without clear sources while the apple kept glowing faintly. "If so... Maybe I should show myself, then. Get the apple for me...", the voice replied, making Mitsuko finally look toward it. No signs of this creepy girl around except for the apple just sitting on the table being ominous. "It can't be...", Mitsuko muttered then looked at Jumi, slowly turning her around so she could get up. There was one way to stop it from doing whatever it was doing and she would take that chance to protect Jumi. That trap was too obvious now to get fooled by it. Approaching slowly the apple, looking like she was reaching to pick it up, she stepped forward slowly while keeping her eyes on the apple. She was naked but even so, only Jumi could see her like this or at least she assumed that it was the case. Once close enough, at only a few inches of the apple, Mitsuko suddenly lifted her hand, calling upon her blade which then formed into her grasp before she slashed downward right at it with unexpected strength. However, a shield formed and stopped her blade. "Huh...?", Mitsuko only uttered in surprise. "Nice try, girl. By the way, you're quite pretty like this. That girl really makes you feel hot, doesn't she?", the voice spoke again, making the valkyrie gasp in shock. At that very moment of distraction, the apple burst with darkness before some chains grabbed Mitsuko and revealed the reaper girl soon taking hold of her from behind, keeping her from moving, putting a hand against her stomach and rubbing it while her other hand was right under her breasts. "Hello, there... ♪", the girl then said once revealed, looking toward Jumi from behind her friend. not ignoring the fairy. "L-let go of me right now...!", Mitsuko shouted, making the reaper kiss her neck. "Not too hasty, now. I assume we won't be alone very long. So, Jumi, how do you like her like this? Before you assume the worst, I didn't come here to humiliate her in front of you. No such petty games.", she told her. Shinigami listened and nodded, only agreeing with what she heard so far. Even without knowing the world of magical girls, it was clear that Mitsuko was still new and inexperienced. That same stupidity that made her want to sacrifice herself to her when the fox had come to the convention for some fun. Yet, something about it had turned her darker life into what it was now. Jumi had been there for the ride, to not let Mitsuko alone, and she had been more cautious and more confident in sexual activities. It didn't stop one girl from trying to toy with her, partly thanks to the fox's power. "I can't promise anything if she's involved but I'll see what I can do. You'll have your chance sometimes.", she said, smirking. For now, Shinigami followed Umi while taking note of what kind of secluded area the girls were in according to the priestess. Intruders from inside the temple was not what she was worried about. Humans in this part of the world sounded alright and not the kind to misbehave. Whether there was a chance that something was happening or not, it was best to keep Umi away and safe. Her breast's feeling grew stronger as they approached the location and this only made her bad feeling worse, her tail whipping the air as if she was getting ready for a fight to break out. "Once we're there, stay back. I will go inside myself and find out what's going on. Don't tell anyone unless you have to.", Shinigami warned.

Reason I am not saying anything for now is because I want to see what others will do then I might make a character that's close enough to those ideas. Also, I am a bit boring on the want/do not want list because there's not much I don't want. I mean, zombies are definitely weird if we're talking sexual thing. I can't really think of something I >really< want because most of it seems to be a given in the setting. Steampunk things, some wild arms (wild west) themes. I sound like I really anthros but I don't wanna be a bother. Already that I seem to sound annoying about it. XD I am watching but I am here. If something clicks, I'll gladly say it though. Anthros aside, the world being steampunk and wild west is something I am curious and interested about. Especially since it would also allow me to test this cortex system as well. If I manage to get a character I like in there then nice. I just want to be sure that when it happens, other partners will also be fine with it since I know it's not just about me. So yeah, it's a fun looking experience. But anyhow, just letting you know that I'm still around for whenever someone posts. I'm sorry that I don't have much to contribute that I can think about. At least, for now.

Mitsuko was glad that Jumi understood but it was clear that she wanted to try it. She wouldn't say no but she needed a bit to think about it. "I don`t know for sure about the differences because I never went this far with a toy but... Shinigami felt very warm... She felt soft but she was a little rough as she pushed inside me. A toy might not feel the exact same but I bet it would still feel good with someone I like.", she said, trying not to be too teased by Jumi's playing. That felt good, too. The fairy kept teasing her vocally though, now with talk of unsafe sex. "No, Jumi. I'm not ready for this... Already that Shinigami came inside me twice... That was the warmest I ever felt from the inside of my stomach.", she said with a sigh. Of course Mitsuko had enjoyed the burning pleasure she had gotten from it, trusting that Shinigami would not impregnate her. But for a normal girl, this was a big deal feeling her womb filled by a fox girl`s cum, however that made sense. She doubted that anyone or any of her doctors would believe her. Thankfully, only a few had watched her take it. Both Nymphia and Jumi had seen her getting fucked by the fox and she didn't mind it too much as both were magical girls and friends. It was a rough awakening to this world but a nice one nonetheless. "If we go that far... One day... I would be happy if it was with you. It`s early to say and I have a life ahead of me but I think I'd like that. One day.", she precised to Jumi. For now, if having sex was safe, maybe letting Jumi try it with her would be fine. Not all the time, as she said. There she was worried about her sexual life while she could later find herself sexually assaulted by an enemy or whatever else. Jumi had experienced things Mitsuko still couldn't imagine yet. Anyhow, she still preferred to wait for Shinigami rather than ask a god about it. Her being new versus Jumi being a veteran magical girl showed the difference between their confidence about the way they wanted to do things. A voice in the room or in their heads soon made itself heard as they whispered the words "Wish for it..." in a playful tone. Mitsuko then froze, looking at Jumi before she wondered who had spoken. Shinigami waited patiently, finally turning around when Umi dressed. "Good enough...", she simply replied to the offer to guide her. To the question about what the threat really was, she turned her head toward her. "I don't think she will want to harm them... She likes her stupid games. I played right into them all the time...", she told her, feeling less respectful toward this false death now that she knew what that part of the game was. Still, it was best not to involve Umi if it was possible to avoid it. Even a sacred temple guarded by a god had not stopped her from erupting inside with an obnoxious flying cat. Confidence or stupidity, it was all part of whatever game she was playing. That symbol was not there for nothing. Shinigami soon created her own clothes over her body, the symbol glowing faintly exactly where the symbol was on her top piece. Maybe the fox was part of the game, if it was a game made by Death himself. It could not be the power of the relics as she had discarded those back in the manor. There was something else and if that girl was involved, she sure was insistent. She knew how to ruin a moment, anyhow. Looking away at the door, her tail swayed around in an annoyed manner. "After I checked on them, we can come back here if you need more time. You might as well take that object you spoke about before. The one that can contain my magic. You might need it soon if this goes on any longer.", she said.

It was nice knowing Mitsuko could trust Jumi with her thoughts, as embarrassing as they were. She was not ready to just make it obvious yet, especially as she always tried to hide them when on her own. As the discussion turned back to Jumi's thoughts and she was teased physically about it, Mitsuko let out a small gasp. Could they really have a way to do this later? She knew that the only reason Jumi was being curious about it was because of what Shinigami had done to her. Would it feel the same with her friend? Only one way to know, perhaps. "I... think there would be good. I never tried with the back. I never did think about the question before, in fact. What Shinigami made me feel was new...", she replied to her. New and unexpected. It felt good because of the nature of it and because Shinigami was very much a girl in all but this aspect. Would doing this with Jumi willingly really feel as good? There was a difference between getting dragged into it like Shinigami did to her twice and willingly going for it. "I may have to think about it, Jumi... I don't want to say no because I know you really want this but it's hard to think of you with that after what I've seen of you. I just have to tell myself that it's a toy, I suppose.", she said, not wanting to refuse but trying to compute how to see it. She was easily willing to let the fox do things to her in the moment. Perhaps she just needed to trust Jumi as well. The apple kept on glowing faintly. Shinigami held onto Umi for a bit while they talked. "This symbol won't go away... I might know why it's there. Besides, you don't look bad perched there but fine. I thought you might enjoy the others. Maybe you're too pure, after all.", she said with a small grin before she let her down, not forcing her to do something she didn't want to. The others at least looked willing to play but Umi seemed more shy about it. The fact Nall could have stayed was perhaps what confused the fox, giving the false impression that she was more daring but she didn't question it as there were other important matters at hand. With what she assumed was coming, chances are it was best to leave Umi or have her prepared, at any rates. Stepping away to let her do what she preferred, still stealing a look at her, Shinigami then took a look down at her left breast still showing the glowing symbol. "I think she is involved again so if you want to stay safe, you can stay here. If you still want to come, you better come prepared.", she warned her of what she felt, admitting what might be involved. Keeping it from Umi would not do anything good and if she put her in danger, humans would probably find a way to blame her. The fox didn't care but possibilities were real. Besides, that symbol on her breast and the reaction from Umi justified being careful since humans might really think that she was a demon if they saw it. There was no getting out of it easy.

Well, sorry if it is because of me but I'm happy for him nonetheless if he will enjoy the first group better. I've read a bit on that side and it seemed to go well on the planning phase. Something that can be taken as a joke but I feel that's real: "My toxic trait is overthinking" and yes, I know, I tend to do that a lot. I've been told for decades to stop overthinking and I can't avoid it. I'm ADHD and it's like our prime issue. That said, I will wait for Satai and Dream to speak (IF they want to) so we can discuss things. I tend to plan these things better as a group than alone. Btw, though... I did point out a certain anthro sometimes that I may like BUT I made sure that she fit the kind of story we might be going for. (Steampunk in her case). I know how it works on that side. I just propose stuff but I still try to stick to the story as best as I can. This is also why I'm not locked on one idea. Adapting is good. I just want to know if some ideas pass or not. Satai already knows what kind of characters I play anyway. (Plot twist, it's not always furry.) I love them but I don't wanna make it sound like I'm trying to force them everywhere. After all, it's not really about the sexual part of it. Just the beastly fun of not being human, I guess. (But I don't despise those either.)

Oh, no no. I saw the above and its classes. Problem is not there. You do know that I even showed a cow girl (as example) before. Well, if you know me, you also know that I have a certain trouble with character making. (It's a curse that follows me even in games). As it is, I do feel like my usual style of characters may be a little too restrained or limited by very unlikely possibilities. Despite that, I know I was given ways to make things happen. I'm just not sure how a "mutated" or transformed girl would fit well in a potential party later without being a weight for the others by being a negative attraction magnet, according to intended lores. Not to mention seen as a monster(?). So I have to make a character that will be pretty but also put into sexual situations a lot from what I understood. And this is another thing I am being careful about since I have to make sure it appeals to me but also to others. Not only that, I want to be sure that this can be done without being uh... awkward? It's a bit of stress on that side and I'm sure I could get it right given the right chance but right now, I'm trying to place my head where I can get a good grasp of what would fit the setting in place. So far, it feels like a kind of character I've never made yet (despite the hundreds of developed characters I've made in my lifetime). It's both exciting and scary at once. I had proposed like two characters I liked so far but have no idea how well they would fit in here and how to explain them other than "being born that way from DNA experiences before birth." (which imo sounded good but I think we're looking for something a bit more dark and gruesome and not just something painless and "easy"). I may have had a few tribal characters but they feel more amazonian than native american. Never really dipped into western as much as I should have considering my fanaticism for wild arms and the steampunk characters I may have used still feel more like fantasy rpg than old 1800 era ones. So yeah, I'm having some troubles here. :P

One of my character ideas on a list of some, below. I will let you take a guess. I assume the expected character has to be, well... classic and not colorful, I guess... I imagine that a character that overflows with steampunk isn't good for this. Just making assumptions. I know the theme looked for here is dark, gothic or weird. I am struggling to find a character I like with what I know so far of the "theme". My last one before this miiight fit but I am still unsure about it, to be fully honest... I thought about maybe going with Lilium (vampire or not). She is of victorian age but doesn't quite fit the wild west or steam punk theme. Very gothic otherwise. Most characters I have had been included in fantasy settings more than realistic history so a touch of that might not be surprising to see. Hard to find a perfect fit. This one above is what I imagine to be an acceptable concept. (Not a character on my list. Just something I found.) The more realistic I would guess the better...? P.S.: I asked deepai what kind of character I should have for this kind of setting. Even fed it the entire sum of themes above and all replies were as I expected, tbh: Just testing things to get an idea of what to look for. I'm not sure if that's the kind of characters I'm supposed to work with, but I hope for one that's more me! :D

I've seen the pathway thread... It definitely sounds complicated by my standards. It doesn't exactly tell me much about what would be an actual "start point". Whether we start together or separate would change how my character appear in the story, whether she is an engineer in a train that somehow carries other people who are supposed to meet and fate brought them together OR the team is already in a bar together at the start and drinking before leaving on some insane adventure. Just example but you might see what I mean. I may have found some potential (human) ideas that I could use but I just still don't understand how the setup will be yet. I know we're just at the want / doesn't want phase right now so maybe I'm just being too hasty (But curious) about how this will work. Also, funny thing, the pathway thread is mostly about time traveling too and that just adds a level of "why am I reading this in the middle of the night when I didn't sleep for 2 days straight" (Yes, it's not a joke). So pardon me if I talk a lot. I just love to ask a ton of questions, etc. P.S.: I've seen the discussion about fur-folks in group 1 ooc and still interested in that. Just not sure about the Hyde idea of temporary transformation about it. By the way, I enjoyed the league of extraordinary gentlemen so I know a bit about weird stuff on that side. The idea of mutating into a monster has potential but I'm looking for something a little more permanent if I did a character like that. @Chiyako had a fair opinion about it, which is another reason I'm trying to be careful about it. A circus beast girl MIGHT work, maybe. P.S.2: Do we have space of any sort or no? Just curious. Apparently, a character I found is steampunk but themed after space. Example below just to share something pretty. P.S.3.: Not sure if you'll be pinged but I saw that you liked this post so just making sure that it's still up to your liking post edit. Just throwing ideas. I should go to sleep... XD

Not giving up is good. By the way, I did my deeper search on moreau and what takes people have on the internet (And what adaptation I could find through images and media). Now, I know it depends on the RPers' tastes here but it does seem like anthro characters COULD work in the setting. The issue is that in that story, they are locked to their own city for people to see them. (Like a zoo of sort, I guess?). So one of the anthros COULD be stuck in that city. Now, whether she manages to escape or somehow finds her way out is debatable. The real question I have though is about the setting itself. I know what the theme is about, how dark we want it. The cortex system we want to use with it. Here's the kicker for how I should expect it to start, though. How are our characters supposed to meet, by example? I mean, considering we're like 4 or so per team. How do we reach to a point where we make a party? Do everyone just bring their "history" and find each others in the game or are we all already together by the time the game start? I feel it's important for the possible setup.

Meanwhile in the Starwars world: Lop. Nuff said. Even Star Wars is trying to appeal to me with furry characters and I'm all there for it. (Not a huge fan of Star wars otherwise, with how bad the last movies were but the general idea of the good old movies are fun.) I would totally go Lop mode on that if it came to it. Gotta enjoy them nice anthros.

I know I am not planning to leave anywhere unless something goes terribly wrong. Sadly, from what I saw, a lot of stories, especially multiplayer ones, die pretty fast. I don't want to be a sour apple but I've been on Ecchidreams for years now. Long enough to see things rise and fall many times. I'll help however I can and we can hope for the best.

Welp... We don't know yet if both sides will really be that different. Still, just wanted to know his opinions and explanations anyway, for the sake of finding ideas. I know you said before that both groups would share the same world or something so I tried to keep that in mind, depending on what the rest of the group want as well.

OH okay then. I mean, yeah, it's what I was thinking about, just differently. Inject something, turn someone into an anthro. Like, the basic rule here is that anthros WILL have a human past. Unless, I guess, we go the embryo path and they are born that way. During the puppy conversation, I spoke about messing up with DNA and weird science. This is why I'm really asking (as I said at first) how far I push it. As Isabella said, there has to be a reason why something is, for lore reason. I am trying to avoid headaches, hence why I tried to make it that puppy would be a lone case without pregnancy possibilities. If we just go kemono, it could be born with a tail (tail bone) and ears with dna. For the record, anthro/kemono isn't an obligation for me but Dream also mentioned interest in one so yeah, whether we go with the industrial disaster or the mad science. So I am just really playing along since it's my first field of interest. But again, I don't wanna go against people if they might not like it. Just trying to find a middle ground.

I agree but I still value to hear what WritesNaughtyStories has to say considering it affects the whole lores altogether AND it's interesting. I saw the 2nd thread. I'm just finishing up here. After this is done, I will not be continuing on this thread if that's your wish. It's just, it wouldn't make sense to switch this at the end, mid discussion, imo.

I saw that message and unlike what you think, I didn't ignore it. I just didn't know what to think of it. You'll have to forgive me because I have no idea what it means and it's probably another reason why I did not respond to it. I'm legit trying to be fair to everyone here and give everyone a fair chance to give me their opinions, working together. What I mean here is. What does hybridization and corrective surgery means in this regard? Truly trying to understand it and if it works in a way to please everyone, maybe it's a thing we can work with. I am curious to hear if it would help me find a character based on that (tags can help a lot) or not. So yeah, please feel free to explain it for me.

I mean, the anthros wouldn't die from it but yeah, if they were treated but stuck as what they are, it would be fine. It seems the begged theme has to be pretty dark so what if the infected were captured, cured but kept prisoner or experimented on? As someone said, giving them a happy end might not be what's looked after here. If I had such a creature, I therefore would have to live the dark reality of my fate in this regard. Just throwing ideas, of course. And yeah, the steampunk part is pretty cool. I like the character I found earlier but in such a setting, I am not sure how the character would go from dealing with such an event and turn to exist all steampunky. Besides, you seem to have a good grasp of an idea with this so far so this is why I ask your opinion. I mean, at this point, it's fine if those characters are not liked by everyone. It's not expected from them to get lovey-dovey with everyone but a few. It's alright if most just yell at them, spit at them and treat them like trash if they must.

Dream's idea was basically that people got transformed into beasts. How that would end would probably be realistically not well. Think "the plague". There's almost no way these people now furry monsters would not be hunted down and killed. EVEN if one survived, assuming the gritty vibes of the theme, they wouldn't become a class job. Still, there was something about animal ear/tail possible which I would not mind. I just don't want them to look like those moreau creatures with a face that only a mother can love. But if we assume that we had someone who had grown a tail or something, we probably have to assume that they wouldn't have a very good status in the world. As for why I'm here, again, it's mostly to join something with others I know. It's less about the theme itself and more the players. Sometimes, you have to dig into something you don't know to see if that's something you can do. I was mostly interested in the wild west steam punk side of it because that's not far off of Wild Arms, just less fantasy. I wasn't planning to make this colorful if it wasn't meant to be, anyway. If "anthros" are to be monsters of sort in this universe, assuming they even exist, I'll tread carefully. I just hoped to have one anyhow but apparently, chances of that happening are not very good. At this point, even rottypops from Shantae seems to make more sense... XD

I am not TOTALLY ignorant of what you mean, though. And we're still in prep phase. Even if some seem to sound like the game is ruined before it even started, I do believe we're still talking about this and I'm also listening to what the group I was with says. Dream's idea seemed to work but then... not? I'm not sure what's going on that side. Besides, do I look like I'm trying to force something here? Let's be honest. I gave an example of a steampunk character before and asked if she was allowed or not but no clear answers was given except "It is not exactly what I envisioned." Dream seemed to be on board with some anthro or at least kemonomimi kind of character, with lores. I did mention science gone wrong but it's hard to say what it's about when it's not explained. Puppy was first one but I think what you see is more direct frankenstein monster stuff, electrical madness in this regard and other ancient movie references. Note that I merely gave examples and possibilities of explanations with it. Brainstorming. So yeah, I don't think anything's decided yet as it still seems like we're in "setting" phase and seeing what works or not. I seemed to get good reactions for what I was saying so I thought I was on a good turn with my ideas until I'm told I wasn't. Opinions seem to differ from a person to another. I'm also searching on the human side anyway.
