Companio: The Awakening (Open|Char)

[Mundeo]

The Horde does not bond- it subdues. If they could bond with anything it'd be as dark as their own hearts. Most Companio in the horde are chained, caged, whipped, and driven to labor. From building roads, to settlements, to farming, and so forth. Others are pitted against one another in pit fights for their clan's honor. While the horde being largely nomadic their settlements have stationed guards to keep the Companio active so as to feed the population and provide it with more forged chains; such are the bondings of the Horde.

While I do not see Spawn as a threat to everyone I acknowledge that she has the potential to be a threat- I do not feel it warrents her demise; and I'd rather the Innumanoids of Spawn's Realm become part of the Alliance.

I see Spawn as a hinderance to that- simply due to her past, which most people are aware of- that being that she's stolen a lot for 'her people' to use. While no one got physically hurt (save Flower when captured by the Horde) they still where hurt by the theft. Plus some her her schemes at becoming famous (or a leader) tended to go a bit far (but not too far) when she got close to it. Now that she has had power for more then a few seconds (12 years) she's become more mature with it. Private citizens of her realm still steals from the alliance and she still approves of this- but she her self hasn't actually organized any group to say- take land from the Numans. She has after all gained some respect for them thanks to her encounters with the group from the first RP; and also that such a group helped to rescue Flower who she holds dear (or did at the time 12 years ago, as in recent years Flower hasn't been as meek as she once was).

Does Spawn need to get punished- yes- does she deserve death- I'd have to have that up to a vote. I'm fine with the Horde (or Helvetica) trying to kill her since Spawn is a powerful force for the Innumanoids and opposed to the Horde- it's just that few Innumanoids actually dare to strike at the horde- her people are more confident taking from the Numans of the Alliance then those of the Horde- who could take their liberty away more quickly then the Alliance. At leas the Alliance has a (brief) trial.

The Alliance doesn't actually have a federal legal system so justice most often comes down to 'Accusation > Custody > Proof > Hearing > Sentencing or Release'

The Horde just takes the 'inferior freak' and binds them after catching them in the act of theft or attempted liberation of property.

What I mean is, to sum it all up simply; I'm fine with Helvetica's goal being to kill Spawn- doesn't mean It will happen; unless it does happen. I'm not going to cheat out of it.

I'd love to see another Innumanoid character in the RP, and know first hand the difficulty in finding a bear human hybrid. I did find that 'anime freddy fazbear guy' seems to have that kind of image- but I'm not sure if you'll use it as such images tend to look very civilized. If you like that look you could use it.

Spawn must die before she grows in power. She doesn't deserve death right now but why wait? She's an Inhumanoid and has committed the crime of thinking she is above humans, to actually set up her own sovereign nation. Eventually her kind will rise up against the Numans, its only a matter of time, its survival of the fittest, so she must be dealt with before she becomes too powerful.

Why should she be trusted? After all she was literally created by a mad doctor for the sole purpose of replacing Numans.

Also the fact that I am literally setting up for one villainess to take down the other. Its only natural. Either Helv dies or Spawn dies. It'll be fun.

Or Marcus jumps in and everyone learns the power of friendship?

Yeah, he is in for one hell of a ride once he crosses into Innumanoid territory.

I am leanign towards helvectia dying first perhaps.

She is technically worse than Spawn and has more nefarious plans. The world would be better off with her dead.

@Mundeo: Ah Marcus, the one shining light of Companio, the little boy who will save us all, our savior.

Conclusion 1: Directly recruiting the Arkton to fight the Inhumanoids will be nigh on impossible unless he is agitated once more, making him give chase once more and luring him into the Princesspality, leaving a wake a destruction. Poor bear just can't catch a break...

Conclusion 2: Give up on the Arkton, pursue Spawn alone and initiate enough tension to spread conflict along the borders, forcing the Arkton to get involved.

Conclusion 3: Find Flower...

That's dark... Didn't expect that at all...

That could be interesting if we see Marcus gradually lose innocence and how that would change him.

Or let arkton go and over time he evolves and it is revealed, he is napolean bear DUN DUN DUN!!!

That image is adorable ^_^ Like the inner me!

Especially when I was playing Myra back in KGA hahah, oh gosh now I"m smiling just thinking of the little me acting out the motions of this image or about my own knife. Gosh I have a good life ^_^

I can't stop smiling! hahah Alright, I 'll try to comment- no I just cant hahah so much cuteness! I'm in tears!

[Harbertia]

Arkton is a great character. I hope we can keep things going.

With what's going on, it's an inevitability that the little bubble that he's lived in gets popped. I definitely plan on his arc involve him realizing the harshness of the outside world. Also, I'm guessing that the newer generation is unaware that they were grown as clones?

As for my other characters, well... we'll have to wait and see for them.

[Islamic Republic e Jariri]

Maybe he is... he does seem to have lived long enough...

The problem with letting him go is why would a sadistic sociopath like Helvetica do so. Even if she can't get him to carry her and do her evil bidding the next best thing for her would be... his head... you, as a trophy.

Unless, she realizes she's outclassed at the moment, he is pretty bug and strong and Amonio can only deal with such opponents in s stealth attack, it would be better to feign armistice between them so she can come after him another time, maybe with an ally (or when he's turned his back and think's he's safe...)

PS. I like Arkton. Hope he doesn't die.

But I need to... set another goal if it means letting go of Arkton.

Putting Arkton on hold, the next step is either:

a). Meeting up with Marcus
b). Go after Spawn
c). Find Flower

[Harbertia]

Also, I'm guessing that the newer generation is unaware that they were grown as clones?

That is a good question- I- don't know if they'd really comprehend the diffrence- Marcus's parents where both clones but he's of natural birth and it's likely they love him just like any other parent would so I doubt he's missed out on much.

Though, assuming the parents can't actually explain what a clone is very well- it really wasn't something they where expected to dwell on- I think Marcus may have been told that they where;

Created by the ghost like apparition of a wise and ancient man who from the devastation of the world brought life- creating the Numans, Companio, and all life that dwells upon the world.

Such might bear the question of

What was the devastation?

And others-

He probably was, and I think I'll go with that he knows, but like many other things, he doesn't dwell on it

Alright.

I'm still adjusting the fact that the Professor and Doctor have become like- their is potential for some cult to form from the Professor.

WEll he can recover from a fair amount of damage, aside from decapitation of course.

I want Arkton to go with Helvectia, but he has seen how the Horde can be. He won't trust her so easily, but you could have her stir up things, then come back for Arkton later, when he is in danger, much in the way his first PArtner obtained him.


Ok Harb, i had a thought, what if Arkton was once with Spawn?

I jsut had this thought, as i have said his Partner was female, and Inhumanoid but not much else. And that after meeting the inhumanoids he had an encounter with the Horde again, and was injured.

..., he was gravely injured, but was not able to heal for some time, until he could create another Cave. He found a small natural cave and rested, healing his wounds, he expanded the cave to make it better. For a while after he awoke he would wander and create other caves, some he would use others would be used by other Companio. He would occassionally encounter Numans of the Horde again, but would always escape, or not be seen, a surprising thing given his size. The next while would pass the same way the previous years had, with him resting, eating and wandering, as well as fighting when he must. One time when he awoke he encountered strange beings, who were akin to Companio, but more like the Numan in a sense.

He followed them when he saw them, he was curious, as they were similar in so many ways, yet different a well. His curiosity had a cost however, he fell into a trap, an ambush set by the Horde, but he escaped, but was greatly injured.

The Innumanoids are neither Numan nor Companio but a genetic mixture of the two created with the same method that bore the Numans (Numans where engineered from Humans). ... In the former years (about 12 years ago) it was uncovered that the Innumands where perceived as a better alternative to Humans (the ancients) by a faction of survivors much like those who operated Holm. But those scientist failed to survive long enough to be parents to their creations who where placed in suspended animation. It was only 20 years ago that they emerged from the ruined lab at the base a deep cavern not knowing of their origin and only of this strange world.

I have no doubt now that Arkton likely rested in the cavern from which the Innumanoids emerged- perhaps playing an indirect role to their awakening (in a butterfly effect fashion). He probably caught sight of Spawn when spawn was biologically 9 years of age and the oldest of the group to leave. We know that the group didn't stay together- some went off with spawn, others found their way to holm, and others- went different paths. Arkton likely followed one of these 'other' groups who where then ambushed by the Horde in a trap that was meant for Companio- thus giving the Horde it's first look at Innumanoids- who likley became ideal slaves.

Near Human but Animal is how the HOrde would see it. It's made all the more darker by them being biologically very young- younger then anyone who would be leaving Holm.

[Shadowwell]

It is surprising that the Lore and Arktons backstory fit together reasonably well.

I meant to add, when you mentioned the cults, that perhaps, had the Companio settlements and the like that he helped, survived, perhaps there would be a cult of the bear, lol.

XD ahhaha I doubt it!

[Islamic Republic e Jariri]

Working on post. Will probably be ready in an hour... or less maybe if I make it short.

Helvetica's shoulder twinged slightly as the spark of anger erupted within her. The Arkton's resolve was as firm and solid as its imposing stature and it wouldn't be talked into helping her. Perhaps it was simply too aged and senile to desire power, as the young woman was perplexed why such an evidently strong Companio would prefer to idle. Such a dull and tedious existence of eating and sleeping was utterly incomprehensible to her and she was getting annoyed of being continually looked down upon by a Companio, a race specifically engineered to serve Numans.

Perhaps if she hurt it just bad enough to destroy its pride and put it at her mercy, the creature may then out of shame agree to serve her. But it would be a difficult task as the Arkton could shake off most wounds Amonio could inflict thanks to its considerable endurance. If it could fend off the Horde's armies and multiple Alpha Lords then continuing to take it on alone would be suicide. If Amonio could latch itself around the bear's throat and choke it into submission then she could win. But at this range the target could see it coming and her companio would be torn off before it was able to adjust its density. Therefore to defeat the Arkton and, at least in her mind, win control over him, she needed him distracted for a stealth attack. An ancient and legendary Wild Companio would take effort to capture.

''I understand,'' she said conspicuously raising her arms up surrender. ''But you will see the error in your judgement not to take charge. I shall leave to your rustic lifestyle, as short-lived as it may be. Only a matter of time until you realize I'm right.''

But if he really is both ancient AND legendary...

@Shadowwell would Arkton notice if a small super thin thread of Amonio attatched itself to his ankle?

To a point, it would depend upon how much it moves and the like. Could be reistered as an irritant or the like.

why? planning on killing him?

He could probably cut it with little problem, regardless of the injuries it would inflict on him. I doubt that there will bea chance for Amonio to choke him any time soon.

Actually I had meant to use it to make it easy to track him but now that you mention it... no, killing him with a hair length thread seems pretty impractical.

[Shadowwell]

You can still do that, possibly one of the loose threads that fell.

After this he will return back to his cave after some other things.

He could perhaps smell amonio, but maybe not.

Of course he can.

[Shadowwell]

To clarify on the smell situation, Arkton could perhaps smell Amonio, but then again, Amonio is a thread and darkness Companio, and one cannot exactly smell darkness.


Harb, what tech would the companios have been caable of before the Horde happened and most of their settlements scattered?

I am trying to decide what type of armore he will have ahd in the past for my next post.

The Companio have provided Numans with relatively modern conveniences from Telephones and roads to refrigeration and electricity. The knowledge and material for such production has been well known to them. Anything a companio came up with on their own would most likely be primative in comparison as these where built with instruction rather then scientific understanding of how they function-

A kind of 'it does what it does' / for example the Magnet - it does what it does and only a few in the common population bother to ask themselves why and learn of polarization and that most of what we have is theory rather then fact.
