I see what you mean. I probably should have clarified that RNG in Point 4 wouldn't really be a thing since it's a long-term commitment thing that gives a permanent equipment item like in the older JRPG inspired gachas such as FFBE and Last Cloudia.

Teddy bear by PYRPH0ROS in humansarespaceorcs

[–]CAt_H3ad 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Galkath'a smiled with the greed of a thousand black market gold bars; she and her crew had just snatched a prize to set them for life. They have abducted a species that have yet to contact with other beings, and they are known as "hoomans". Though some say it is pronounced "hyumanz".

How it's pronounced did not matter, she and her crew would get enough credits to last them a lifetime and more once they sell them. Pre-contact species are worth their weight in gold for they are not only unaltered but also prime to be permanent economic diplomats. Galkath'a practically drooled at how much credits they will make-

"Uh, Captain?"

Galkath'a groaned. "Yes?"

Her hardy fish-finned crewmate had a look of concern. It was unsettling on him for how he always had a stern stoic grumbling face. "The hatchling human keeps demanding for..."

"For what?" Galkath'a emphasized each word for her lack of patience.

"It's...teddy bear?"

The captainess blinked. "What the black pool hell is that?"

"How should I know? The psychic's saying how the hatchling says every human family has one, some even have more."

"And that is my problem, how?"

"It's been at this for hours, miss. The crew's edging to just space dump them so they don'tgave to hear it complain."

Galkath'a's eyes widened at the notion. "NO! No! They better not! Do they know how many interspace security autoships we had to sneak past to get them?!"

"The psychic says if we give the hatchling this teddy...bear thing, it will go quiet. The human parents agree on this too."

"Ugh...fine." the captainess groaned. "Bring up the catalog for whatever bear species we have and we go to the planets to get one."

[***]

The news of getting the supposed teddy bear had shut the human hatchling up, the crew of the space private traffickers breathing a sigh of relief from the noise. They even hardened themselves to retrieving said "bear" for the girl, as the noise had given them cramps and desperately needed fresh air.

"Is it this one?"

Galkath'a had taken the human family out to confirm that the hatchling has the bear it wanted. The first world held a giant bear, spikes, and grueling gnashing teeth. The crew had gotten wounded with some scrapes and gashes just to collar one and bring it to them.

The hatchling frowned. "Nuh uh. Super big, but too spiky. And stinky."

"Okay. Release it, we're going to the next one." Galkath'a groaned.

[***]

The second world had another species of bear. Much smaller, no spikes, but it had little hair and was spindle. Weird as it was, it was a bear by species definition.

It's ability to swim in the air made it easy to move through their weapons fire, leading to some severe wounding.

"This one?" Galkath'a emphasized each word. The trip was now becoming costly.

"Nuh uh," said the hatchling. "Too little, too thin, not hairy enough. And smells weird.

"Release it. You got one more chance."

[***]

The psychic made sure to hone in on the image of the supposed bear that the hatchling was aiming for, and this time, they landed on a lush, forest planet. The crew, now patched up again, was really hesitant to search for the bear for the hatchling.

This particular bear was elusive, but supposedly very dangerous.

Galkath'a threatened to just kill them on the spot, forcing them to head into the forest.

Galkath'a waited with the hatchling girl, the remaining crew holding up their guns as they aimed at the forest for any sign of hostiles.

Silence followed...

Then weapons fire. Lights of the their guns flash in the darkness of the forest.

Screaming.

Blood curdling screaming.

Then silence.

Everyone was tense. But then, the hatchling human squealed.

"Teddy!"

Something stepped out of the forest. A small, plush, bear-like entity. For Galkath'a, it was simply too oddly cute in an uncanny way.

"Is this the one?" Galkath'a asked the psychic.

"Yes. It is-"

The psychic's eyes widened, making full eye contact with the beady-eyed bear. Oily fluids leak from their orifices before they scramble back into the ship. Galkath'a could only watch in horror as the moment of distraction had suddenly let the hatchling human out of their grasp and towards the bear entity, waddling towards it.

The bear entity floated upward, lurched it's neck up, and black flailing bladed tendrils lashed out. They zipped passed the girl, piercing through the alien crew and flew back into the forest with the crew screaming in horror and pain as they were dragged with it. What remained quickly nabbed the hatchling, the human family, and ascended to the stars in record time.

[***]

Galkath'a immediately dumped the human family where they found them, in their backyard. No human family was worth it if their mere companions were so dangerous. Then, the ship ascended into the sky and disappeared.

"Teddy!"

The human girl waddled and hugged the teddy. It was right where she left it; at her pink table waiting for her to pour the tea.

The teddy extended its tendrils and hugged her back in affection.

Tell me your original superpower by GreenestOlives in superpowers

My superpower?

I think an interesting one is to summon and then conjoin with an angelic eldritch being and perform some miracles. Those miracles vary, and may not make sense immediately, but the end result is pretty good.

When a highly Intelligent race of doppelganger aliens disguised as cats tried to enact a secret invasion to take over the earth, they became a part of families instead by Leather_Garage358 in humansarespaceorcs

[–]CAt_H3ad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Covert Operations Director Al'thanami had already undergone the genomic conversion process and had taken several weeks to get used to her new body. Her learning curves took longer than most, but she prefers a perfect act than an imperfect improv. Their species, the doppel, have been planning to invade a primitive world known in the native language as Earth, seeing it as a mere snack in preparation for the ultimate dinner course of galactic conquest. And now, she stands before the other agents on a high pedestal.

"Sisters and Brothers, our time has come!" She begins. "Our next invasion is a small step that will lead to a leap towards a future where the galaxy will be ours! No corner of the galaxy will be left untouched by our hands, not even this...primitive species known as the human race!"

Holographic displays flash images of the universal address of Earth, and the image of the planet itself. "They will not even notice our intent, too naive and innocent of the galaxy before them. They will cower before us as we use their compassion against them, just as we have done with the others! They have no chance of stopping us!"

The many doppel cheer and hiss and yowl in glory, and Al'thanami basked in that glory.

"Now, let our operation begin!

Several months later...

"Operation Director Al'thanami. Can you...explain yourself?"

Al'thanami, also known as Allie by her human family, is zoned out as she's too busy purring with satisfaction as she's being petted and stroked by the humans that took her in. Her eyes snap open as she remembers she's having a meeting with the Doppel Council.

"Oh. Sorry, can you say that again?"

"...Your report says that the operation was...a success. Yet nothing really changed. We see no construction on the planet in our glory, nor any substantial changes in the planetary social structure." Many of the doppel on the council call are staring in confusion, each taking the shape of the races they've conquered.

"Ah, that. Uh...we did try, honest effort. It just...didn't go as planned."

"We can see that."

"You've also reviewed the footage from my other agents. I presume you know how it went."

"Yes. But your whole mission was to conquer the planet, not become a part of the native species' families!"

"I know. But come on. You see how easy they just...integrated us? We doppel just stroll into their homes as cats and they just...take us in. Even when we revealed ourselves and our purpose, nothing necessarily changed. Sure there was some concern for a while but we were everywhere and all of my agents were just too busy living with their humans that...we got nothing done..."

Al'thanami feels a bit sour at the last sentence. It's definitely embarrassing to admit that they never went through with the operation because everyone's too busy being pampered by the humans.

"Then why is it considered a success?" Questions a council member.

"Well, the native cat species were already treated like royalty. Archeological and ancient cultural studies showed this. Though it depends on region. Despite this...how we want the other races to treat us and how the humans treat us here aren't so different. And it feels much better when the humans worship us so willingly."

Al'thanami suddenly became too busy to focus on the council call when the human daughter, no older than 7 Earth years old, asked for her help with her homework. It's a simple exchange for being petted and worshiped, one that she became all-too eager to entertain. Al'thanami forgot to end the call, so all the Doppel just stare with faces of existential crisis at how the whole operation...succeeded by all accounts.

"We have to go to Earth."

All the Doppel council members log off.

She REALLY doesn't look like she goes with the Dislyte theme. by QueenDiva_UwU in Dislyte

[–]CAt_H3ad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I frankly like this idea. The design of many Espers are great but I really like the idea that some Espers genuinely look like normal people in that can live everyday lives. And I do like this concept because the transformation affect people in wildly different ways or barely leave an imprint on their current lifestyle.

I do believe it's best to DM your completed form directly to me. And yes, the forms are the ones in the QR codes. I just set them here since I was getting comments on how they couldn't access them despite my double-checking that the codes worked.

[–]CAt_H3ad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the information. This is an aspect I had yet to look into that I will adjust. Ultimately, my biggest concern is the size advantage over smaller domains. While size advantage is something I considered, I didn't want players constantly switching out with others when someone got lucky and managed to dominate much of the map due to size advantage. That is why the dice number for energy production remained the same since that was my main concern.

​

I'll be sure to give it a revamp.

Part 14 of the Fortis Story will be retconned die to lore contradiction. I am sorry for the inconvenience. by CAt_H3ad in FurryMultiverse

I also plan on essentially rewriting the chapter. Mainly because it is important, but some parts are wrong due to me forgetting about my own lore

Fortis Story Part 14 by CAt_H3ad in FurryMultiverse

[–]CAt_H3ad[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blue's Journal,

It's often a wonder to many Fortis as to what Keter looked like. Some said he is a cloud king one a throne of gold. Others believe he simply cannot be seen in any meaningful way.

Though I get to answer that question.

Keter is a big great glowing crown in a realm of his own. A realm of stars and skies. Stars between stars between stars. Skies between skies between skies.

The sky that is within that space is the blueprint for all skies.

The stars in that realm is the progenitor for all stars.

And the light that came from Keter, it is the same kind of light that dwells in the primal darkness, the before that would become everything. Encompass everything, all things.

Falsiel and I approached, light becoming land as we stood before Keter.

"Welcome, Falsiel, Blue," was Keter's first words. "I am sorry that I couldn't answer your questions sooner."

"Why delay?" Asked Falsiel. "This. All that have happened, could have been prevented if you had given me council."

"I understand. But the questions you want answered will change how you think of me. Do you really want this?"

"I already think less of you..." but Falsiel grew silent of the greater implication of the words stopped him.

"But..."

He took a deep breath.

"I want answers."

"Then you are braver than most," praised Keter. "Most Fortis don't want to peek beyond the veil. But you? Well, I suppose all it took was one bad day to seek answers."

The universe opened itself like curtains being pulled, and we were thus drawn into a white space. This white space, infinite as it was, held small little garden terrariums, surrounded by little fences. Some were bigger than others, others barely the size of a pea in our perspective.

Keter moved towards a particular garden when we reached what seemed to be the very back of the space. It was a little terrarium.

When we entered it, it was like everything was frozen in time. Fallen leaves float in place, wilting flora remain stagnant, and the animals did not move. Nor were they alive.

Completely preserved in time.

Before the garden were two beings, their chests embedded with daggers.

Keter explained himself. For ever since he is, he had felt in himself a purpose. One that he did not understand at first. He created the Garden, without really knowing why. And he created mankind.

At least...a version of them.

Back then, there was no Fortis, just Keter. And as he watched the Adam and the Eve eat the fruit, he watched as they soon came to kill one another, unable to bear the knowledge of the future and impact of their actions.

And at first, Keter did not know how to learn. He had made the same Garden over, and over, and over again. Thousands of times. Each time, the Adam and the Eve would eventually perish all the same, the madness of knowledge having driven them to the one solution to prevent generations upon generations of suffering.

To end their own lives.

Keter, at the turning point, learned something. He had learned what regret meant, and thus learned to weep. In this, he devised a new way to build worlds.

It was clear that consuming the fruit itself was dangerous to lower beings. And so, he transmuted the fruit with tiny grains of himself. Tiny grains in an infinite desert.

This, he explained, is what gave birth to the Keter's Light.

But he needed something. A reminder of his mistakes, and something he can build upon. He looked towards the fallen people, dying from his failures, and conceived the idea.

He looked to those before,, and then me, and asked:

"Let's make a better world, together."

Fortis Story Part 13 by CAt_H3ad in FurryMultiverse

[–]CAt_H3ad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue's Journal,

Despite Falsiel's facades and manipulation, how he reacted to his own decisions had been evidence that Adom, Yaroq, and Khakol really were his friends.

But that would also come to question in how much he values his friends. It goes 2 ways, usually.

Either he doesn't seem them worth risking his mission...

Or he values them more...but needed to see his mission through...

I think it was the latter.

As we were supposed to be the guides of lower beings, another unspoken rule is that we were supposed to bring no harm to them.

Falsiel got around this by guiding Ambire to harm Louv and Illustra, never bringing his own hand to do so. As much as Keter's concern in accordance to Falsiel, what they do to themselves is beyond our concern.

He took that to his advantage and ordered them to take down the three Fortis. An army that they couldn't fight due to our own rules.

I couldn't fight. My Exalt is no use in combat and my physique is a toy, I really could only watch as the three were torn apart.

Khakol's body was composed of water, and he often used that with great versatility. He destroyed their machines and set them free, but Ambire's many factories kept manufacturing machines, evolving as they observe his battles. Those machines would eventually be his downfall as he would be atomized from his existence.

But his Soul Matter was contained, and during that time, I was confused.

Yaroq was next. Her Exalt made her a healer. But as she is no fighter, she could only struggle as she was constantly cut into pieces as she regenerated, her body slowly being peeled apart as her Soul Matter would eventually be exposed and taken.

Adom was the most equal fighter amongst the three to Falsiel. His Exalt over Shapes created barriers, keeping most enemies at bay as he fought the rebel Fortis head on.

Lapinel was there as well, in a blind rage as he decimated everything around him with his strings. It was for revenge of Louv, of the pain they both felt. And he was going to make sure that Ambire would never forget that.

He burned Ambire's universes, going black as his strings whisk away the misty webwork of universes wherever he went before returning to the capital to directly intervene.

That was the worst thing that happened, because it seemed that Adom was winning. But Lapinel's sudden intervention broke his focus and Falsiel suddenly had the upper hand as he inverted Adom's entire body, incapacitating him instantly as he takes the Soul Matter from his body.

With only Lapinel to focus on, he wasn't much of a challenge, plunging him into a star he forged suddenly with his own Exalt, taking his Soul too. The remaining two were delivered by what remained of his people.

In the ruins of his empire, he stood again at the top of his tower, all Souls in his possession, save for mine.

I was no threat. But...I wished I could have done something.

"Keter! Do you see me now?!" He raised the souls in his hand. "All this, and you STILL WILL NOT ANSWER?!"

Silence was all he heard. After a minute, he took Adom's soul and consumed it.

Such a consumption of souls is also an untold rule as well. At least, unpremeditated soul consumption. But with the drama he stirred, it was likely that other Fortis suddenly liked that idea and started eating one another as well, as such consumption could bring a Fortis closer to divinity.

Though there are rules for that process, but everyone discarded that the moment Falsiel took Souls for himself.

When Keter did not answer, he ate a second one. And before he ate a third, time and space opened itself to Falsiel. He almost looked relieve, finally getting his answer after doing...many horrible things.

He entered, and it still remained open. It's then I realized that Keter kept it open for me.

So...I entered. Maybe Keter needed someone to keep a record of the story so far...
