Not Your Normal Harem Show 2.0 - Started - Chauffeur & Maids needed + more!

[Top Cat]

Approved character count:
Women: 9     Men: 4     Futa: 1

(Not counting the *Heir*)

Harem shows. If you've ever watched anime, you've come across them - Tenchi Muyo, To Love-Ru, Love Hina, Negima, Ranma 1/2, Ai Yori Aoshi, I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job... the list goes on and on, for literally hundreds of shows.

The idea of there being one male character (usually clueless in the ways of sex and seduction) that is being chased after by several (or many) female characters is a popular theme, and it's not limited to just anime shows. It's shown to be one of the most successful ways to make a romance story appealing to both men and women. Even stories that aren't officially harem-based often have harem fan ideas - I'm sure you've seen some picture of Batman being fawned over by all of the female characters, heroes and villains alike, that are in his orbit. But there's always a catch that's almost never addressed - what happens when the man chooses? Does he pick one woman to be his wife, and the rest give up and move on with their lives, looking for another man? Is he fundamentally unable to make a decision, and keeps all (or most) of the ladies in an illicit harem relationship? Or is there some middle ground?

We're going to explore that here. This is going to be an open-themed free-form game, with a possible ending scripted down the road. The plot is simple - A very rich man has died, and his only son, who has been estranged for years and sent to a boys-only boarding school, is now coming home. But there's a catch - the boy only gets to inherit if he provides an heir himself, continuing the family dynasty.

The family estate has many women who work there, some of whom might be interested in having the place become their homes permanently, by becoming his wife. Some of them knew him when they were young, some have never met him. Some of them are around the same age he is, while some are older... possibly much older! And the heir, himself, hasn't seen women since before he went through puberty, and hasn't got the first clue of how to deal with women.

Is this a way for me to have sex scenes with lots of different female players/characters? Well, yes, that's part of the point. ;) But it's also a way to expand the theme - the character set will be open to men as well as women. The butler, the gardner, the mail man... there's a lot of options for other men to take interest in the goings-on, and perhaps some of the ladies will decide that they're more interested in love with someone else than competing with a gaggle of other women for the heir. And perhaps those men might decide to simply take advantage of some of the blossoming beauties in the household, not even waiting for the Heir to make a decision. Perhaps they've been lusting after the ladies for a while, but worried about losing their job if the elderly rich man found out about it. The possibilities here are just as broad as the ladies. And perhaps some of the ladies aren't really interested in the Heir, so much as the other ladies flocking around the Heir...

I'm not going to set an upper limit on the number of characters, but the female cast must equal or exceed the male cast (and ideally be 2:1 or so). Having 12 ladies and 8 men - fine. Having 3 ladies and 10 men - not so much.

Will love conquer all? Or will the frenzied attention of the ladies make the young man simply accept as many of them as he can? Our role-playing will give us the answer to these questions and more on the next episode of Soap! Wait, forget that last part... =>_>=

The basic plot: *Heir* is a young man, only 19 years old. He's returning home after years at a boys-only boarding school, because his father has died. His family is rich beyond compare - money isn't a problem, at all, ever. And Father's only Will statement is that in order for *Heir* to claim the entire Family fortune, he has to get married before he turns 20, and demonstrate his attempts to *ahem* foster an heir himself, to continue the family dynasty through another generation. The problem is that *heir* has no real understanding of women - he's been in the boys-only school since before puberty.

Note that when the story starts, nobody (other than the Lawyer) knows about the Will clause, and are only about to find out about it after he arrives home.

Story Elements: There will be love, lust, hot sex, cold panics, jealousy, and more, for sure. Possible sex scene elements includes: Straight sex, Harem-ish gang-bangs, embarrassed interruptions, spying voyeurs, bisexual and lesbian scenes, the full range of BDSM, non-consensual rape, semi-consensual manipulation, and more. What there won't be are the more extreme elements in the kettle - no vore, necrophilia, coprophilia, limb removal, and so on - the items commonly set in players' "hell no" categories. ;)

World Background: The game is set in a "modern-fantasy" world. The technology is a bit behind modern day - cars are rare and generally only owned by rich people, the internet doesn't exist (but Paranet, a magical communication network, does), phones and other devices are partially magic and partially technology. Magic isn't common, but it isn't very rare, either. Players can ASK if their characters can use magic, but the answer is probably "no" if they're in their teens or very early 20's. Nonhuman characters may have minor magical abilities, however.

Female Character Details: Female characters are generally expected to be more or less attractive, by any definition possible. Tall and thin, short and plushy, huge breasts, Itty-Bitty-Titty-Committee, whatever. It's your character, not one of a bunch of Stepford Bishojo girls. The creators of female characters CAN choose to have them know *Heir* from when they were pre-teen kids, before *Heir* was sent off to school. The creators of female characters can also choose to make it so that they're unacknowledged (and unknown, officially) half-siblings of *Heir* - Father liked to get around and play with ladies all over the place! Yes, even if you're a half-breed non-human race, this still applies. Father was kinky. But it's your decision to make, and if I end up having zero potential incest partners, I'll be absolutely fine with that.

Male Character Details: Male characters are also expected to be more or less attractive, because that's the way anime shows are. ;) Male characters can also know *Heir* from childhood, or from school. If they know him from school, then they'll have to be in the 20-28 year old range.

Character race details: *Heir* is human, and so was his father (and mother, for that matter, but she's been gone for years). Characters can be human or almost any demihuman race you can imagine. That means that they must have two arms, two legs, a more-or-less normal (and cute/attractive) face, and so on. Wings, tails, etc. are fine. A small list of possible character races: elf, hobbit halfling, cat-girl (both the kind that look human with cat ears and tail, and the kind with fur), dog-girl (same), human-sized fairie, mermaid (if she has human legs while not in the water)... the list can go on and on. They can also be cute monster girls (or boys), typically explained as being a half-breed. Again, if I end up with all Human players, I'll be fine with that. Play what you want to play, not what you think I (or other players) think you should be. ALSO, monster-girls (or boys) can have a "monster-mode" if appropriate (such as a "werewolf" looking human most of the time, but going wolfy now and then).

Relationship details: You can set up pre-starting relationships between other characters if you have their agreement. Does the Cook want to have an established relationship with the Butler when the game starts? That's fine, if he agrees to it. Are the Chauffeur and Gardener really close friends? No problem. Does one of the Maids get kinky with another Maid when bored? Also fine.  :o

As a side note: I'll expect the OOC thread, or possibly a separate thread dedicated to it, will involve discussions of harem anime shows. I've got a few that are my personal favorites. =^_^=

Character Roles/Jobs:


Accountant (M/F) - The person who helps the Heir take care of the economics of the Family's money and investments. Possibly the job that spends more time with the Heir than anyone else, with the possible exception of the Butler.
Butler (M) - the Butler's job is to take care of the Family's needs. With the Father dying and the Heir-son gone, he's been trying to keep himself busy, but it's time for him to get back to work! Taken
Chauffeur (M/F) - The person who drives the company vehicles. Not only is the Chauffeur responsible for driving the Heir around, he/she is also involved in supply runs and other instances of driving the household vehicles. Limit of 2.
Chef (M/F) - This is a catch-all for anyone who prepares food. Your character could be the master chef, the sous-chef (second-in-command), or any of a dozen other specialties - or just one of the kitchen workers. Limit of 4. Master Chef taken
Gardener (M/F) - Someone who takes care of the plantlife outside of the mansions. A fairly free-form job, the gardeners can probably wander the premises at will. Limit 1.
Groundskeeper (M/F) - The person who keeps the rest of the outside repaired and in good shape. Works closely with the Gardener. May double as a repairman/repairwoman at times. Limit 1. Taken
Guard (M/F) - It's this person's job to keep everyone else in the household safe, but especially the family members! Limit 1. Taken
Housekeeper (F) - The person in charge of the Maids, this person's job is to keep track of what cleaning work needs to be done. Limit 1. Taken
Lawyer (M/F) - The person who is managing the Father's will and testament, and the only person who knows what the Will's actual achievement goals are... Taken
Maid (F) - A mansion this big needs a lot of people to keep it clean! And the Father had a definite preference for young, cute, and scantily-clad. The Maid Uniforms are fairly skimpy and sexy! No limit - a dozen maids is fine, too. ;)
Nurse (M/F) - Responsible for taking care of minor injuries and illnesses for everyone in the household, this job has some magical training. Limit of 2.
Tailor (M/F) - Making and repairing clothing in the household is almost a full-time job - those Maid's outfits seem to tear so easily... Limit of 1. Taken

Other possible characters:

Cousin (F) - This young lady still lives in the house and takes advantage of her time there. She's probably between school semesters. Incestuous? Lesbian? Troublemaker? You decide. Limit of 1.
Self-Proclaimed Rival (M) - A (former) friend of the Heir, he's decided that it's his purpose in life to do what the Heir does, only better.

The Heir's details:

Basic Details and Background: - Septimus Bartholomew Winterbilt (called "Tim" or "Timmy" by everyone except his father, teachers, and government documents) is the Heir. Recently turned 19 years old, he stands 6 feet tall (give or take a blip), and has a light athletic build. His hair is light brown, his skin is lightly tanned, and he has a good-natured smile most of the time.

When Tim was young, his family was very indulgent for him, giving him most of the things he wanted. When he heard about treehouses, the Butler and Groundskeeper put aside their rivalry and built one over an afternoon. When he heard about saunas, his parents hired engineers to replace an unused storage room over the swimming pool, complete with a large trap door so that he could do cannon-balls into the pool. When he learned about sex... wait, he hasn't learned that yet.

In short, he was a spoiled little rich boy in many ways. But he wasn't the sort of self-absorbed, greedy brat that you would normally expect to see. His parents were quick to correct him when he did things wrong, and made sure that he had enough attention to learn how to be nice to other people.

In particular, both parents made sure that he was around other children frequently, and learning how to be a good, social individual. While his mother made sure that he played with children of a wide range of races to prevent him from becoming racist and arrogant about other species, his father made sure that the play-times included lots of little girls, in the hopes that they would someday be Tim's consorts. His father had quite a few consorts himself, spending time with other ladies when Tim's mother wasn't available or in the mood. It was one of his few hobbies.

All of that changed on one fateful day. His mother was killed in a tragic petting zoo accident, and his father found that he was unable to handle Tim's upbringing all by himself. Tim was sent off to a boys-only boarding school, and has not seen women at all for the last 10 years, since before he hit puberty.

As a result, Tim is very clueless when it comes to gender relationships. He doesn't really understand the idea of dating, and while he most certainly does have a libido of his own (thanks to his father's genes), he doesn't really have the first clue about how sex and inter-gender relationships really work. He remembers the bits his parents told him when he was young - be nice and polite to girls, son. But beyond that? Zero, zippo, nada.

- - - = = = ^ ^ ^ _ _ _ ^ ^ ^ = = = - - -

Writing/Role Playing Special Detail: While normal rules against God-Moding still apply for most of this game (namely, don't dictate other players' actions without their express approval), it is relaxed when interacting with Tim. Female characters are able to use Light-to-Medium God-Moding when writing actions with Tim, provided that they're not interfering or being rude with other characters in the process.

For example, Mary the Priestess finds Tim in the hallway, walking from one place to another. She can grab Tim and drag him off to the Religious Nook, and even get him to do some actions, without having to have me post back-and-forth through it - she can simply post his following her to the Religious Nook, and his increasingly-nervous following of her instructions - "This is about respecting the Goddess, right?" However, if Aisha the Catgirl saw Mary drag Tim off, and followed to the Nook, she wouldn't be able to drag Tim away without either interacting with Mary, or waiting for Mary to be done with Tim.

Sexual orientation: Tim is the virgin of all virgins. He hasn't seen porn, and doesn't really know what sex is. He knows he's got some urges, but doesn't know how to deal with them. While Tim is pliant when it comes to non-sexual activity, he is neither a Dom or Sub at the start of the game - although he could become either (or both) depending on how the girls act with him over time.

Skills: Tim's years at the boarding school have given him a very solid range of skills, and as such, he can help out in almost any task around the Mansion, if asked. He's a competent swimmer (and this is how he's most likely to exercise, when he has the opportunity), he has a strong back for lifting heavy objects, and can run short distances swiftly. His education angled more toward mathematics, accounting, and management, but there's very little that he can't do with at least a neophyte skill level.

More Gameplay Information: Although this is an open-form role-play game (In other words, no stats, no dice-rolling, etc.), Tim has a complex stat grid. His attitudes for each girl, and for women in general, will be altered by how the different ladies treat him over the course of the game. Likewise for the male characters, but to a lesser degree... but if he catches the Butler stealing wine, for example, his opinion and trust for the Butler will go down a bit, and his overall Trust stat will also drop a little.

This means that he'll gain or lose Trust and Like for the girls based on their behavior and actions - and not just against himself! If he sees one girl being mean to another, he'll lose some Like for that girl. That doesn't mean that she can't end up seducing him, though. Like I said, it's a complex stat grid. And while many of the stat changes will be posted at the end of my posts, not all of them will be.

Girls who knew Tim from his childhood start off with 5 Trust and 5 Like - while he remembers them, he's been away from them for longer than he was ever with them, and only remembers it somewhat dimly. Other girls that he meets will gain (or lose) some during their first personal encounter with him. The same holds true for other characters that he already knows - the Butler has met him a few times, at least.

Q&A List:

1. I'm not ready / too busy to join right now, but I want to play. Can I join later?
1A. Yes, absolutely. After the game goes live, the Application thread will remain open, and new men and ladies can be added provided there's a good reason for it. Your character was away on scheduled vacation, a new hire, etc.
2. I want to play a futanari (hermaphrodite, "chicks with dicks") character, is that okay?
2A. I'm keeping the futa category very small. We had one character that could change genders (including to futa mode) at will in the first version of the game, and that went well; I'm willing to consider them this time around, but two will be the absolute limit. It will require a careful check of the character; please send via PM before posting it here.
3. I want a job that isn't listed in the Roles/Jobs list. Can I come up with something different?
3A. Yes, absolutely. The list is simply the most obvious and likely jobs available. If you can come up with some other job that makes sense, by all means, suggest it.
4. I want to make a grim-dark character. Those are in anime, it should be good, right?
4A. No, not really. This game is based on anime sitcom themes, and as such, we want to keep the generally light-hearted attitude of sitcom genres.

More questions to be added as they come!

Already have several verified, feel free to take a look in the Character Index.

[Yukina]

I'm tempted to join and make a meek maid that the sexy librarian will pray on. :) *bookmarks*

[Top Cat]

Something that should probably be discussed more clearly this time is plot and pace. While I do expect there to be several "episodes" (or many, depending on how the game goes), each episode is only going to be controlled loosely by the GM team. We'll have some events planned, and the fun will be in having the characters play through them.

That said, it's going to be up to the various players and their interactions with each other to keep the ball rolling. If you think of a subplot, go with it. If you're not sure if it'll fit with the main plot, send us a PM and ask.

This isn't just MY game - it belongs to ALL of the players who are participating.

[Moon Hound Hati]

Will there be a beach episode? Can't have a harem show without a beach episode!

New title added. ;)

Nice. :)

Edit: The kitsune's boss has arrived. :)

[SargentToughie]

I didn't even know this was a thing, but since a few of my E-buddies are signing up, I figure, why not?

Is the Guard role taken?

[Top Cat]

Nobody has chosen to be a Guard yet. =^_^=

[wander]

Okay if the Guard is going, I think I'm gonna sign up as either the Gardener or Groundskeeper... I'll sleep on it and come back with something more cemented. :)

[Top Cat]

Sounds good, wander. =^_^=

[Top Cat]

Another title edit, to see if people are paying attention. ;)

[AndyZ]

I was actually amused that the last game had a succubus lawyer also.  I guess great minds think about sexy succubi, which are all alike because they're twins.

[Inari]

I approve!

[wander]

Okay then... I shall be working on a casual gardener man after some pretty admittedly flakey deliberation on the matter! :)

So I'll look into doing that... I've not looked into Black Butler but upon looking for character images I came across a perfectly trappy character called Finnian... My only worry is I wonder if this character is legal age or not, having not seen the anime I'm going off face and build...

[AndyZ]

The wonderful thing is that people don't always look their age.

I'm 32 IRL and a lot of people are convinced I'm still in my 20s.

If you say the character is 18, even if he doesn't appear to be 18, he's still 18.

[Top Cat]

Hrm. I think that there's one plotline element that I think I haven't made clear up until now. With the exception of Sylvio the Butler, everyone else is new to the Winterbilt Estate. Some (like Aderia, the Lawyer) have been working with the Winterbilt Corporation for years, at other locations. But everyone else, both already in the game or not yet signed up, have been hired or transferred to the Winterbilt Estate within the past month, game-time. Those who have been there for longer than two weeks have met Tim's dad; anyone newer than that never has.

The "never met Tim's dad" angle doesn't apply to the people who choose to take "childhood friend" as part of their character's background, of course. ;) But even they haven't seen him for some time.

[AndyZ]

You forgot Zyra.  She's been at the household for centuries, and really only leaves at rare intervals.  (I'm thinking during a blue moon, during which times she has other preparations set up.)  Presumably she knew the father quite well, served faithfully, and we can figure out anything else that might be of importance.

[Top Cat]

*facepalm* Yes, you're correct. Zyra's been there, too. I forgot Zyra.  :-[

[AndyZ]

If people like, though, Zyra could have been missing as well, with the wards and protections keeping the place extra safe during the blue moon, and just shown back up again now so that she's brand new to all the new people.  The average lunar cycle is just under a month anyway.

[Top Cat]

*nod* That'll work. The last time she saw Elder Winterbilt was about 4 weeks prior, then.

[Lynnette]

Okay then... I shall be working on a casual gardener man after some pretty admittedly flakey deliberation on the matter! :)

So I'll look into doing that... I've not looked into Black Butler but upon looking for character images I came across a perfectly trappy character called Finnian... My only worry is I wonder if this character is legal age or not, having not seen the anime I'm going off face and build...

As far as I am aware, as far as artwork goes anyways, the obligation is that they look like they are 18+. It's harder to determine age on anime characters since the age-defining traits vary so much, so I'm fairly sure it's pretty general at this point. If it doesn't look like a kid, it'll probably pass.

[Top Cat]

Fun fact: When I was living in Vegas, I knew a woman in her mid-20s who looked like she was 13. She hated getting carded all the time, because a fair chunk of the time, even after they looked at her ID, they figured she was using her sister's ID or something, and refuse to serve her anyway.

Finnian could easily be 17 or 18. Maybe even a young-looking 20.

[Inari]

What's this blue moon stuff?  I don't remember no blue moon...

[AndyZ]

Basically a blue moon is when there are two full moons in the same month.  The only time Zyra ever leaves the estate is between those two full moons.

[Inari]

Ah ok. I remember there being an investigation into spells that didn't get too far last time...

[Top Cat]

We're still a little smaller than the original group; I'd like to get a few more players, if possible. But I think we've got enough players who are actually interested in writing and playing this game, so if we don't have anyone else by Friday, I'll get it started then.

I'll be making four locations to start with - Front Lobby (1st Floor), Front of the Mansion, Off-Site, and Random Conversation.

The first three are where the start of the action is going to be. We're going to be starting at T-1, with an announcement from Aderia and/or Sylvio, explaining to the rest of the staff what's going on (to whatever degree they want to share the information they have). At the same time, I'll be posting in Off-Site, entering Timmy to the world and going over his reaction to being called back home.

Random Conversation is a new idea I have. It's an In-Character thread, and it'll be for discussions and interactions between characters when WHERE they're at doesn't really matter, and should be used for random interactions between two (or more) characters. This is for brief chatter, not leading-into-hot-sex flirting, and can be done by anyone at pretty much any time. Discussions with Tim should be in whatever location he's at, though, so other people know where he is.

I'll add more locations as they become needed/requested. We ended the last game with several locations that had zero posts. =>_<=

We could always change it around a bit to the following threads, as an example:

Private quarters:
Covers any room that wouldn't be available to anyone but relevant people. In other words, bedrooms, offices, etcetera.

Public quarters:
Covers any area that would be available for the majority or all characters at all most of the time. This would cover things like the gardens, front lobby, kitchen, and so forth.

Off-site:
Thread needed for the obligatory beach episode.

Random Conversation:
Don't really have a lot to say about it, it's not something I've seen being done before. So it's meant more-so as just a skit-thread? Basically just dropping in a small conversation at any time, regardless of active scenes etc, and having a giggle?

I guess it doesn't really allow for a whole lot of expandability though.

I like this setup a lot more. That way we're not going in between threads all the time just because the characters are moving around in the middle of a scene, and jerking around with the flow of the writing. It's pretty jarring when you go back and read, and the characters are moving all over the place mid scene, cutting in and out.

The problem with having general-purpose threads like that is that overlapping interactions that are supposedly at different places in the game-world can get confusing.

We're allowed to have (2 x player-count) threads, not counting this one. We currently have 10 players, so we can use 20 threads. We weren't close to hitting the limit in the last game, and I don't think that people were getting too confused in transitioning from one location to another. And if we start out with broad, general-purpose threads, it's very hard to expand it later.

The key, of course, is making sure that people clearly post their transitions - saying that they're moving from X to Y at the end of one post, and then at the start of the first post in the other location saying that they're coming from X.

The biggest reason to have a variety of different locations is to make line-of-sight a non-problem. Does John, laying in bed in his bedroom, know that his girlfriend is being tied up and gang-banged by his buddies in the kitchen? If you're in the same thread as someone else, and they do something, your character can probably see them and what they're doing; if you're in a different thread, then you're in a different location, and your character doesn't know what's going on. That gets harder to handle when you have one thread handling a larger variety of locations.

That doesn't mean that I'm hard-set on having lots of locations. I do recognize that having too many locations can spread a game out too much and stifle a game from lack of interaction. But the opposite is also true - too few locations in a game with a lot of players/characters can cause too much confusion and kill the game, too.

But the opposite is also true - too few locations in a game with a lot of players/characters can cause too much confusion and kill the game, too.

By all means, I'm not opposed to having specific-location threads, but there was very little wiggle-room in the threads enlisted. Of course, if you plan to expand it as they become relevant, it's not a problem, but if you're not intending to do such, it would tie down the players a lot in terms of where you can go and where you can't.

[Top Cat]

*nod* I do plan to expand as needed. If you want to start with a private discussion between Aderia and Sylvio in Aderia's Office, I have no problem including that into the starting thread line-up. Likewise if Hati wants to have the Kitchen available so that Nero can be using, say, Akia for a little special flavoring in the first night's meal... ;)

I just want to trim the topics down to start, and try to avoid having threads that are just temporary locations too often. I made that mistake in Feed The Night - the Entryway Foyer is mostly pointless, and should have been rolled into the Front Door thread, rather than separating the two.

[AndyZ]

I'd think I'd have an entryway foyer instead of a front door.

Zyra tends to spend an inordinate amount of time in the Library, but up to you if that needs its own thread or not.

[Top Cat]

I'd think I'd have an entryway foyer instead of a front door.

Well, the point is that there were two threads when there wasn't really more than one needed, since both are temp locations where the characters aren't likely to stick around for more than a few posts.

Zyra tends to spend an inordinate amount of time in the Library, but up to you if that needs its own thread or not.

We need the thread when two or more characters are going to be interacting there. Otherwise, it's just as easy for you to write a "coming from the Library" introduction to a post that takes place elsewhere.

I can't believe that actually worked...

Wait, what am I saying? Of course I can!

[King Serperior]

How much of a post rate do you expect?  I am really rather slow at posting, but I could be willing to play a nudist lamia/naga maid.  Though, I am open to suggested positions for such a character.

Chizuru: "Exactly!" *lures her kitsune subordinate to the bedroom with a smile*

[Idlewyld]

We could definitely use you. The more the merrier!

[Top Cat]

Well, what spots are still open?

Accountant, Chauffeur, and Maid are all open (1 Accountant, 2 Chauffeurs, and ∞ Maids. ;) ). If you can think up some other role that would be somewhat relevant, I'm open to ideas. There's also Cousin and Self-Proclaimed Rival.

and much like King my posting rate might be a bit slower but I am still willing to play

I have yet to find even a single game - either as GMed or just as a player - where everyone kept up a high posting rate. Don't sweat it too much - just try not to leave other players in limbo is all I ask.

[Top Cat]

Maid is fine... she could also be the lifeguard, perhaps?

I'm not sure what sort of reaction a nudist naga would provoke in Tim... it'd depend on whether he'd been exposed to nudity and sex yet, I imagine. =^_^=

[wander]

So, I need help with my Gardener character... I'm running out of inspiration and perhaps some peeps could PM me or something to talk about pasts together or something that'd be cool to include with them? I have their look and stuff, I just need some help in making them whole...  :-\

Humm....... not sure just yet. Will have to give it a bit more thought. Was actually hoping to find a position for my character who wouldn't be suspicious wandering the grounds

[wander]

I figured I'd make my guy a Dryad or Mandragora, makes sense as a gardener... I like the thought of them being default a rather bashful virginal trap figure, but they have a monster side they let out where they become a bit more dominant and forceful...

Sound okay?

[Top Cat]

So far, so good. I'd need to know more about the character to make a final approval or rejection, but I don't see anything problematic so far.

[Inari]

Humm....... not sure just yet. Will have to give it a bit more thought. Was actually hoping to find a position for my character who wouldn't be suspicious wandering the grounds

To my understanding if there are other staff positions people can think up then they would be welcome. I also just noticed that you could work as a chef under Nero or be Self-Proclaimed Rival.

Reaper's right - I even mention catgirls in the character creation section. She can be an anime-Neko (with just the ears and tail), or a more furry-style nekomimi... however you want her to look.

[AndyZ]

Zyra prefers the shaved pussies.  Going more than ears and tail wouldn't so much be her thing.  Just so you know ^_^

I'm honestly more in the 1-2 step range. 

That said, I just sent in a Neko Health Coach, so I hope that everyone will remain fit.   ::)

[Moon Hound Hati]

I'm firmly in the #1 camp. If there's fur on the limbs or whatever and the face starts looking more like and animal and less than a human, like with #2 and up, I'm getting the fuck out. :P

For example, I'd be all over this though.

NIIIICCCCCEEEE

Well, that's not too bad since it looks like clothing. I could live with that.

[AndyZ]

I prefer #1, and the lower the better, but I'd probably have sex with #2.  Possibly with #3.

The way I figure it, inhuman characteristics in places that aren't overly sexual aren't that big of a deal.  I mean, I'd hit this, and she has her own innate handlebars.

We're up to 14 characters now, not counting Timmy! Are you sure you don't want to make it 15?  >:)

I wasn't fortunate enough to be bisexual, so anything other than female tends to be more vigorous attempts on my part to be able to write something other than purely attracted to females.  Nix on the first.

As far as the second, I might consider it but I'd want other options.  I could see a character getting desperate, but far more likely to just pass her by.  Maybe I'd get in a rare mood, but that's about it.

By contrast, if Akia presents herself to Zyra (presenting is the right phrase, right?), Zyra's not going to hesitate.

[Top Cat]

I'll let my O/O page illustrate my opinions on the matter. ;)

You are what you are. No judgements here~

In furry terms; presenting would be correct, but this isn't a furry rp so I don't know what it would be called. Nice to know that Akia can't bend over in front of Zyra! XD

I've been practicing with heterosexual women so I can write them decently enough.

And Zyra would probably know the difference between just bending over and actively presenting to catch Zyra's attention.  Of course, Zyra has different moods same as anyone else...

Making the 3rd one my avatar~

[AndyZ]

Admittedly the spellcasting thing was just an idea to throw together some RP.  Zyra is always learning but doesn't know everything, so she actively looks for ways to improve her intellect and such.

That doesn't mean she enjoys sex any less, though ^_^

[Inari]

I think as long as we don't reenact anything from Bible Black we should all be fine. XD

[Top Cat]

*hides the mind-control spellcasting sub-plot*

[wander]

About the two images of the furries... Second one (the female) would be a maybe, depending on how I feel.

Starcry's avatar... I'm in there like swimwear! ^__^

I love me some Tsubasa Cat! :)

[AndyZ]

I've never seen Bible Black.  Zyra probably wouldn't do mind-control (if Top Cat's post is pertinent), though, unless she had a good reason to.  I'm guessing that's not your thing?

[Top Cat]

Bible Black is... twisted. Take the BDSM of Fifty Shades of Grey, and throw in a huge dose of demonic influence and control...

[AndyZ]

I am very good with the concept that any MC that Zyra might attempt to do would automatically fail against anyone who didn't like MC.  It's not something Zyra does often and wouldn't much practice it.

Zyra is mentally old enough to know better than to be all perverted and physically young enough not to care. ^_^

[wander]

Bible Black was a classic, far more hardcore than Urotsukidoji in some parts.

I'm a fan now of the stuff Black Lilith puts out, like Koutetsu no Majo Annerose and Makai Kishi Ingrid. There's one set on a spaceship too, but I forget the name of it.

[Top Cat]

I'm not really a fan of any hentai where the female characters stop being characters and become whimpering sexual holes to be abused halfway through... =>_>= Sadly, there are way too many of those, and not enough hentai comedies (although there ARE a few good ones).

[AndyZ]

Ebichu was nothing less than fantastic, even though it's more comedy than hentai.

Looks like someone saw episode 1 of Makai Kishi Ingrid...  ::)

[Top Cat]

A short list:

Iyashite Agerun Saiyuki
Space Ship Agga Ruter (done by the same animation team that did Tenchi Muyo!)
Dragon Pink
Sex Demon Queen

[wander]

Fun fact; Sex Demon Queen was done by the same people who did Excel Saga and fans of both may see similarities between characters of both series. I've only ever watched it once, about 10 years ago, so I couldn't list them now.

Interesting side-fact #2; Koshi Rikdo, the mangaka for Excel Saga worked the H-doujin circuit and the Excel Saga characters all stem from his early H-doujins, much like Kohta Hirano's H-doujin characters being reused in Hellsing. Kohta Hirano was best friends with Inazuma, another H-doujin artist who worked in a circle with Koshi Rikdo and eventually become his assistant on the Excel Saga manga. You may recognise the name Kohta Hirano, Inazuma used the name of his friend to name the character of another chubby military otaku character that appeared in their famous manga, Highschool of the Dead.

And so wander did win the internet for the day. ;)

I think that it should be roughly balanced at this point, though a small overflow is always an advantage since women seem to be more keen on homosexual activities than men are, so there's that. The driver role is open if you're interested!

Well, I was considering the Cousin, but that seems to have been taken... so I'm not sure right now. I don't see the character I had in mind as very submissive, so Housekeeper would be out... mmh, maybe a personal trainer or possibly someone that's sent to teach Tim/The Heir about martial arts/self defence, since that seems kinda important of a skillset to have if he's a rich kid.

Female character, by the way.

I don't think the Housekeeper actually has to be submissive.  It'd probably actually help to have someone in charge of the maids who can keep them in line.

[SargentToughie]

I don't think the Housekeeper actually has to be submissive.  It'd probably actually help to have someone in charge of the maids who can keep them in line.

^ pretty much this.

Though it's worth noting that it will probably fall upon my character, the guard of the estate, to teach Tim (and anybody else interested for that matter) how to defend themselves.

[Mellific]

I don't think the Housekeeper actually has to be submissive.  It'd probably actually help to have someone in charge of the maids who can keep them in line.

I agree that I don't think the housekeeper has to be submissive, but I don't think that the housekeeper would necessarily be above the maids. The Butler is definitely the overseer of the maids, so I'm not really sure where that would place the housekeeper, rank-wise.

Though a trainer might be a good idea, in terms of a physical fitness instructor. Also, I remember there being some discussion earlier about a lifeguard position, too.

[AndyZ]

Housekeeper (F) - The person in charge of the Maids, this person's job is to keep track of what cleaning work needs to be done. Limit 1.

[Mellific]

Ah, I stand corrected. I had looked something up online earlier about the difference between a maid and a housekeeper, and that article said that the housekeeper might not be above the ranks of a maid.

But nevermind! I'm totally wrong! Sorry. xD

[AndyZ]

It's all good! ^_^ *hugs*

[Amalia]

Well, Personal/Self Defence Trainer seems to fit more what I had in mind, considering the Cousin and Guard positions have been covered.

[Top Cat]

There's room for one more Guard, still, if that's what you want to play - having one Guard would keep that Guard very overworked! ;)

[Top Cat]

A few of our Maids have either dropped out or been inactive - surely you can find a way to fit yourself into the workload in such a busy house!

[LeSane]

I have been contemplating on rejoining for a while now but I do not have a laptop at the moment. It's going to be mailed to me since I'm all the way in Texas for my corpsman classes. Though that will be in the next couple of days hopefully. I already have a character in the works with pictures and other things so that's really it at the moment.

I was thinking of doing the role I did before but using a different character someone around like Timmy the age so he's a warlock so it make more sense. he would have three companions with him that could work as maids since as a Warlock.

[Top Cat]

Our drivers keep driving off!

Is there any way that I can progress the scene where Finn picks up Timmy?

Do we need to have everyone post their characters getting into the car and accompanying him on the ride?

[Top Cat]

The only person we're waiting on, I think, is Reaper's character, Aderia. I'd waggle a stern finger at Reaper, except my phone just died. Finished a round of a game that I started three hours ago, had it show me all the rewards, then went, "Power 0%!" for a split-second, and everything went dark.

I think it lies to me about the remaining power level now and then. Especially with this game. =¬_¬=

[Mellific]

Aah, I see. I'm thinking that after Finn picks up Timmy, I might just make him an NPC character for anyone to play, as he's needed...

And as for Ami, I guess I'm going to have to drop her.

I'm really sorry to do this (and I promise I won't leave until Timmy's picked up, so that we don't have to work around finding yet another chauffeur to deal with that scene), but my muse is just not in this game. I joined it a bit too quickly, and I ended up biting off more than I could chew. I currently have way more games running than I can actually handle, so I deeply apologize, but I do think I need to bow out of here, too.

Awww peoples leaving?! ;~;

[Timidity]

I can take over one of your roles if you want and double up, I just don't think I can take both and handle three separate characters. Up to you and TC though. :3

[Mellific]

I don't mind! Finn probably isn't a necessary character to keep around, other than when he's needed. Unless someone wanted to pick him up. So, that was why I figured he could be an NPC.

TC is welcome to write my characters off in whatever way works for the story. I completely understand and won't complain about the post. I'll do it myself if that's easier. Whatever works.

[Timidity]

Hmm, I guess we'll see what TC says. x3 I'm fine taking over female or make role, so I'll see which one he would like to have taken over. If he even wants that at all. It's sad to see you go, although I understand the circumstances completely.

[Mellific]

Yeah, waiting for TC, too.

Thanks for understanding. I'm sad to go as well, but I appreciate that you guys understand.

If you are fine with other people taking over your characters, Mellific, I'm fine with transferring them. I want people to play characters that they want to play, not try to fill niches that they think are needed. If we're going to be stuck with NPC drivers, that's fine - we don't need someone playing that personality if they don't want to. Likewise for the nurse, although I think the nurse has more possibilities, group-wise, than the driver*. Both can be handled off-screen with assumed-to-be-there NPCs in a pinch.

I'm sorry you're leaving, but it is what it is. Better to play games and stories that you're enjoying, rather than try to force a continued activity in something that isn't carrying your interest. That can result in overall burnout, resulting in less story writing all around.

* If it were my choice, I'd prefer for someone to either take over Ami or make a new nurse or doctor; that role has many storyline and sub-storyline possibilities. Driver/chauffeur isn't as story-critical, which is a plus for whoever is playing them - they have a lot of free time to goof off. ;)

[Timidity]

Well I read over both, and each seem pretty easy to play. Granted my style won't match Mel's, So I don't know if that'll be a problem with anyone she has/is role playing with.

Otherwise, I don't mind taking the spot for Ami. It saves me the hassle of having to making a whole new sheet. x3

Helloooooo Nurse!

[Mellific]

Thanks, once again, for understanding. I really don't mind if someone wants to take over either character. Personally, I believe it would be easier to keep Finn around as a chauffeur, maybe even giving him less personality than I've given him, so that he's more 'in the shadows' and can be used as needed. As TC said, he's not someone who will need to be used a lot.

Either character should be easy enough to play, though picking up in the middle of a scene (especially a sex scene) might be a bit of a challenge. But you're more than welcome to do so! And it's definitely easier than making a whole new character sheet, as well. Not to mention, that scene is going on with Hati, who's a terrific partner :3

I wish you all the best with this game and all of your future writing endeavors - I hope to see you all around. Thank you so much for the opportunity, it was a lot of fun!

[AndyZ]

We all have stuff come up, Mellific.  Thanks for being responsible about it, and I hope to see you again ^_^

[Mellific]

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Okay guys, guess that's it for me.

Ja ne~

[Timidity]

Alright. Well... If it's agreed, then I guess I'll throw a line to Hati and find out if the infirmary scene can be continued or concluded.



It feels weird posting this stuff here and not in OOC...

[Moon Hound Hati]

It can be continued, if you want to pick it up. :)

Do you want to leave the sheet as it is (in which case there's no need for me to do anything other than make a note about the player change), or did you want to do some edits to Mellific's write-up to re-submit?

[Timidity]

Hurray! And I didn't even need to track you down. I should have a post up a little later in the evening, I get to do some cooking of my own here shortly.

I see no problems in her character sheet, even the O/O's are fine. So just the note is needed. :3
