Breeding- Everything comes from a common source- existing DNA. So just because a trait uncommon in a species emerges from two of the same species breeding doesn't make it evolution- it was simply a recessive gene that both of them shared.

So I was thinking about how the Numans of Holm are clones, and this image seemed appropriate;

An encounter with a Companio, passive or hostile was up to me. I was of course going with the former in my lost post.

I've essentially pasted two apps into one (and included an encrypted spoiler that might or might not be true depending on how story unfolds)

Assumed Name: ''Maxwell Chambers'' (Alt. Counterpart)
Age: 14
Sex: Male
Type: Numan
Territory: Alliance
Appearance:
Image

Personality: Afflicted with retrograde amnesia, he exhibits a shy, meek introverted and soft-spoken exterior. This is due to the inherent loneliness he feels at being disconnected from the rest of the world and the idea that he is unwanted. Despite this he is able to memorize events and experiences to an uncanny level, a fact which frustrates him due to being unable to remember anything prior to arriving in the Alliance. He is driven to find meaning in his existence, whether that means attempting to investigate his past or starting anew. Despite his aloof nature he can get very emotional when stressed but is otherwise unusually calm and methodical for his age.

Additional Details:

Without realizing it he is actually from the Horde, his true identity harboring a dark secret.

Companio: Illumine

Companio: Shroudgrewth
Appearance:
Image

Personality:Compandium entry states -
When they bond with a being, Numan, Inhumanoid or otherwise they can be rather affectionate. Too affectionate at times in fact, there have been reported incident with these Companio joining a sleeping being in bed and settling down on their face or chest. Sometimes they will bat at their nose until the being wakes up to show them attention. they ahve thick soft fur which can seem to expand when threatened.
Abilities:
  • Discharges energy wave that targets specific areas within brain to either amplify or weaken selected sense. This can range from enhancing a sense to the point of overwhelming opponent with sensory overload to having a specific sense completely shut down.

And what about the blush? They're brothers who were separated for a long time. xD

Postby Harbertia » Thu Apr 06, 2017 11:06 pm

Name: Randy
Age: 14
Sex: Male
Type: Numan
Territory: Alliance
Appearance:
Image
Personality: Randy 'Andy' is an alright type of guy- not very competitive, somewhat clueless at times, a little gullible, and curious but also big into safety with a desire to always be prepared. He prefers to listen rather then do much of anything unless it's part of his plan. Randy mostly wants to walk- that is travel a bit- see what the world is like.

Additional Details: Not the most observant of persons Randy has been easily fooled which has made him prone to reacting poorly upon realizing that he's been deceived.

If you have a Companio for this is optional
Companio: Ralph
Appearance:
Image
Sex: Male
Personality: Randal is a Curious creature hatched in a tree top nest. His kind are known mostly for dwelling in the trees during warm seasons and burrowing under ground in the cold season. They tend to take up residency in holes in trees- holes usually made by some other creature. They, and him, are attracted to warm things. They're often called 'Sleeky Sleepers' due to their laid back relaxed and tired disposition. They are rarely random in action, and usually think things through before acting- but can act quickly if the need arises.

(His kind burrows under the ground during cold weather where they sleep the season away; yet they make their nests in tree tops during the warm seasons)

Abilities:
  • Flight (Short distance)
  • Heatsense - can detect heat.
  • Calm - A stare ability that puts other creatures at ease, can actually induce a numbness if held too long.
  • Climb
  • Coil
  • Venom - Induces drowsiness, can be harvested as a sleep aid.

As with all Companio, built to serve Numans- in this case great for relaxing.

Sounds good. I can try to help with someone else's character.

It could definitely help.

hahahaha XD I'm so use to Japanese Anime being a morally deprived place of perverted exposure and existentialism and gore and betrayal and fatalism and well- pervieness that

At times I forget exceptions, like Pokemon and Digimon - well- kind of

Digimon did have- I thought 'I might like this' and I do like Digimon, but I saw this one clip- that um... turned me aside from it till recently. I've only recently started watching it- about three years ago. I haven't gotten back to catching up with the episodes.

But that clip still haunts me- I just don't know when it'll pop up.

But how do we set up the scene?

Well, Marcus has just gone off the the road, so the scene needs to be in the woods. We're all traveling- Maxwell for memories (wandering from feeling lost), Marcus for the need to explore the land beyond Pippoton, and Randy from curiosity and bewilderment at the world.

We could randomly _ OOHH!

How about we all emerge in the same clearing- that's got to be a strange situation. Our characters can be like ; "Wow this is odd." and due to how we're all pretty much in a triangle formation in this clearing decide to meet up in the center and get to introduce one another.

That's good, I think. Just a bit more on how they all got to one place.

Perhaps an interesting creature.

Or a thief? Like, a colony of small Companio steal something from each player, then they chase the Companio to a single mound and work together from there?

Okay, another challenge.

Should Max have his two Companios at the start (while wandering with amnesia?) or should there be a storyline of him obtaining the two Companio?

No, come to think of it, how does one find and bond with Companio? Yes,, not only does he have amnesia but he'll be unusual in how he's bonded to not one but two Companio.

(you know I think CompanIO should be the plural for CompanIOS, what do you think?)

I've seen Companio as both plural and single even while adding an 's' at the end from time to time. But I like those too ^_^

That sounds like a great idea Kylantha. Jariri, you where talking about insects- can you design an Companio (ant magpie or Merkat based) for this scenario?

Mgpies go after shines, birds and bars after fibers, rodentia after the aame, it would depend upon the items stolen.
