Housepets!

Generally if one parent is a Kaiju and the other isn't, then the child will be either a partial Kaiju, or a small Kaiju.

Removed a line from my latest post.

Just a heads up for Cyber - Hyper and Lyncus are waiting for someone to answer Hyper's call to the KDF. No rush.

*facepalm*

I totally forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder. I'll make a quick post to fix that.

FoxFan, Heather answered Hyper's call in case you missed it.

Yeah, I saw. I just couldn't reply at that time.


Edit: I might not be able to keep up with the new posts on the RP so expect some slow responses. With school, I might not be able to reply in time. Thanks.

So, I feel I should bring this up here. It's very likely that I won't be posting at all on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Likely not Sunday either. On Thursday, I am flying out to California. On Friday and Saturday, I will be attending my Grandmother's funeral.

Sunday, I'll likely not be in any mood to write anything. Please be patient with me.

Oh man, definitely take as long as you need! We truly appreciate all the time you've put into creating and maintaining this and it's the very least I can do to give my condolences and a wish for safe travel.
Don't spare a thought here, just take care of yourself, 'kay? You'll be in our thoughts.

Of course, Cyber. Hobbies are second to family. Take care of yourself while you’re gone and don’t stress too hard.

Thank you guys. I appreciate the understanding.

You don't have to wait for me, and I'm not going to be gone for long. These games have been what gets me up in the mornings for a long time. I can't leave them for long if I tried.
Anyone here who plays Beacon of Hope, you know what I'm talking about.

I have one more day before I leave. Let's see what we can do with it.

So I leave tomorrow morning. I'll arrive in California in the afternoon. I don't know what we're going to be doing, but don't wait for me.

None of my characters are doing anything important right now anyway. Nobody should be waiting on me. Just keep doing what you're doing, and I'll jump back in probably Sunday.

Mind if I ask what part of California you’re visiting? I’ve lived in both Monterey and the Mojave desert, the latter about three hours from Los Angeles, and was probably my favorite place I’ve ever lived. It’s an awesome state

None other than the city I based Crater City on, San Francisco.

Technically, Pacifica. It's a small town / collection of towns just a few minutes south of the city.

Nice! I know exactly what area you’re talking about - I’ve been there before and my dad actually has a friend living there he’s known for years, so long that we actually call him my uncle. Small world!

FoxFan, I believe Heather is waiting for your response.

I'm going to try to catch up with my writing tomorrow.

Welcome back CyberDragon! Hopefully everything went as well as it could.

I think it went well. It was sad, but it was nice seeing the family all together.

My last cousin just went back home today. I'm sticking around for a bit longer in California to watch my grandpa. In the meantime, I'm trying to catch up on my writing.

Re-worked my last post.

So it seems like FoxFan is on a bit of a hiatus - he’s been MIA for almost a week now.

Just so I’m not stuck in a corner, I can have James meet back up with Lyncus and go somewhere, but I don’t exactly know where they should go and I’m trying to avoid writing long posts with only my two characters interacting. Anyone have any ideas for them?

I'll try to think of something.

I'll see what I can do in my next post to get you unstuck.

Thanks, Cyber. No pressure.

It’s your RP, I’m down for any ideas you’d have.

Citris, try going solo just for a post or two. Get your characters together and in a place with people. I'll see what I can do with what you set up.

This is a bit of a stretch and... seemingly random for the moment, but I've thought about this for a while now and this seems like the best part to try again.

Could we reconsider adding Scille into the roleplay?

Ddeestar (thanks) pointed out back then when she was first discarded that she doesn't have to kill other animals, something you pointed out as one of her main faults. As she's made of latex, she could gain new cells by actually harvesting latex, which is naturally found in 10% of all flowering plants.

To prevent herself from fully dying, she can have a core representing herself in her weakest state, similar to a seed - which is much more durable than the rest of her body, and rare as it may be that she'd actually get to that state, she can then easily be covered by one of Lyncus's shields or something of the like. Adding latex to the core then would allow her to regenerate.

And just for good measure, that backstory of her killing the scientist never happened. They were good people who lived a long and happy life and loved their families and had lots of friends.

Now, the reason I want to add Scille back in specifically right now - I still don't fully know what to do about Hyper. Yeah, James could come back and meet up with Lyncus, but they don't really have a reason for just leaving Hyper there on his own, especially since Lyncus invited Hyper over and is waiting on his suggestion on where they should go next. In my mind, I'm left with two scenarios:

1. They stay at the park, and Lyncus tests out her Kaiju form, causing damage everywhere.
2. If Scille exists, James meets up with Lyncus, where they realize they need to check on Scille and leave Hyper on his own.

I actually considered a. a while back, which is why I asked about those consequences then.

If worst comes to worst, I could probably compromise with Scille also being a Kaiju, and her powers are just based on energy drain, but then there's the issue of finding some legend for her to fit into and that's... not entirely what I'm going for.

I mean there is the Xenoform category of Kaiju. She’d probably fit better there.

That's true and an effective compromise, but Citris's objective seems to be the latex form being the base. And as with the first time this came up, Xenoform is only for Kaiju-the other characters fit into Human, Zoomorph, or Kaiju, with the last having their disguised form mimicking one of the two. The issue seems to be that Scille isn't any, having no conventionally shapeshifted form or disguised form form but definitely not matching the biology of the other two.

With reference to the final objections and noting Citris's update, ignoring those issues that the two have already resolved:

CyberDragon wrote: So here's the problem. The fact that she can only live long term by killing and absorbing people puts her, whether she means to or not, in a villain role. A tragic villain, but still a villain for the purposes of the game. PC villains aren't allowed for major characters except for specific arcs that are organized beforehand. She's already on shaky ground considering artificial life is some fringe science at best and the fact that she isn't one of the specified "playable races" so to speak.

So the first area of this seems to be sated as James and Lyncus presumably "feed" her latex whenever necessary, having maybe a small garden or the like around the house for it. She no longer has to absorb and destroy sentient matter to survive. The sciences and unclassified nature is still in question, which would be what

is answering I assume. I would suggest parallel to that idea that she's classified as an unusual Kaiju, with

being her "disguised" (power-limited, smaller, seems to fit the bill) form, but that's completely up to his verification as it's his character. It would require a Kaiju stat, but one of her powers could be maintaining a smaller size than her stat would suggest with this Kaiju form as

Citrisfur wrote: Cuts and slashes have little to no effect on her since she can mostly control her form[...]

so making herself more dense will make her more passable as a normal-size Zoomorph and add to her natural "armor" against bludgeoning attacks and the like, despite being in her Kaiju form near constantly. I'd certainly continue the plan that she can expand to that size when properly healthy/fed so as to still be a Kaiju in the literal sense though.
Your comment is a good suggestion and I agree she's a Xenomorph, but I believe this addition to your idea to be an effective compromise in classifying her and urge both parties to consider it.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk. I understand this is not a perfect solution by any means, but hopefully it's at least worth building off of.

If any of you guys where waiting for my response I didn't have the chance to check on the road and reply. Sorry for leaving abruptly without notice.

eep, what happened last with Heather, Lyncus and me? I kinda forgot.

Ah, hello! Don’t worry, I procrastinated too long so I... haven’t done anything with Lyncus.

Edit: Could Cyber still consider Scille? My scenarios could still apply, although this does open more possibilities.

He's back!!! Glomp hugs and Noogies.

Foxfan2164 wrote:eep, what happened last with Heather, Lyncus and me? I kinda forgot.

Hyper and Heather finished their call - Lyncus just learned she’s most likely a Kaiju and doesn’t know what she should do next.

Ack! hugs back and pats I didn't know you guys missed me.

Citris, the changes you suggested sound pretty good. They should probably be modified to be a Xenoform Kaiju though, as the issue with artificial life is still present.

Xenoforms don't have to have to be based on anything or even have recognizable biology. They're alien-like in nature. There can be a Xenoform that's latex-based.

I suggest editing the sheet and resubmitting it. I'll take a look when I can.

Re-did my last post as I realized I made a mistake in it.

So I reread some past posts on Lyncus' Kaiju "dilemma" and I noticed that Heather got "disconnected" from the call and I was wondering how should I get back into the rp? I know I can whenever i want to but I don't know if i should go off of what happened before I left or if something happened between when i was gone and now.

Just have Hyper say something to Lyncus. Maybe suggest somewhere for them to go if he wants to distract Lyncus from the new information, or have him ask what she’s going to do next if he wants to press on the topic.

Lyncus hasn’t done anything since you’ve left - she hasn’t even met any other character yet so you’re just fine to go off of where you were before.

So I made this a couple months ago, back when Tigress started mentioning the clan; totally forgot to actually share it.
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/ ... sp=sharing
It's a basic explanation of Rakshasa, the Yaksas clan being the focus so other Rakshasa aren't bound by these rules. But if another writer were wanting to know about or make their own Yaksas Rakshasa, the info's here. Tigress is one, following the rules (though the customs have faded over the 15+ years away) and Mist is mostly one. His acid field isn't a traditional power and the power as a whole still needs a lot of training to reach his actual potential.

Any glaring mistakes or contradictions let me know, I'm 90% sure everything's consistent but I did some housekeeping tweaks once I unburied it. Hopefully it's still good.

In the U.K., that Ice cream exists. Vanilla Ice Cream, Raspberry sauce and meringue pieces.

Double post, I know.

I used the name of a local hostelry for the historical house here as I wasn't sure of names.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_Olde_Murenger_House

I don't think I asked this specifically, if I did I'm sorry:
What's the likely outcome of two different Kaiju having a child?
(Probably pretty obvious why I'm asking this, but mainly wondering about how different Legends size/powers are inherited... averaged? Grab bag? Etc.)

It's fairly simple if they're similar in some way. Wildfire is 50% fire dragon, 25% lightning dragon, and 25% nature dragon. As such, he has some physical qualities from each, and the powers of each.

It depends on the parents. What kind of Kaiju are they, how does their power compare with each other, are they anatomically similar, that sort of thing. If one Kaiju were significantly more powerful than the other, the child would likely have more of their powers and traits. If the Kaiju are anatomically different, the child will anatomically resemble the mother more than the father.

Some Kaiju reproduce asexually. The elder Kaiju named Pestilence reproduces like a virus, infecting Kaiju and turning them into rotting and corrupted vestiges of their former selves. If elder Kaiju reproduce at all, it tends to be asexually and unusual.

That fits perfectly for what I had hoped~
I didn't really canonize who/what Mist's father was previously in case this wasn't something that could be made canon, but what it's sorta bent towards is a toned-down Wendigo. Not gonna get into how they came to be, but they're a fun little group of nature spirits.

So the idea is a Raksasi and Wendigo parents, the former's Kaiju form anatomically similar to a Tiger Zoomorph, and the latter stays similar to its disguised body, though more gaunt, fanged, and shining-evil-blue-eyed, etc. (Using the D&D one, just as I did with the Rakshasa Kaiju.) So since the two similar forms are already capable of making hybrids, that's sensible, right? Plus both their undisguised forms are nature spirits (the Clan Rakshasa, at least, not all Rakshasa) so they've got some chemistry there.

The powers already have considerable overlap, and learning some of the Wendigo's specific powers (Maddening Whispers as use of Life Energy and Diseased Bite as Ruin just for later ideas) could be a future thing once this is discovered and he's learned to control his current ones reliably. But that's all later stuff-what he has now can be partially attributed to the heritage-or not, if they aren't allowed here. Either way works.

All this is just an idea right now, I'm not asking for an immediate yes or no on permission. Questions, suggestions, feel free.
