Getting Started - The Species Empty Getting Started - The Species

Post  Apostle Fri May 15, 2015 3:10 am

Okay so, there's four species to choose from when you create a new character!

- Wolves
- Sheep
- Scrappers
- Catgirls

All four species have the option to change size (basic makeup kit in starter kit) and different body patterns (all species have different patterns... some look better than others).

Don't think bigger = faster and smaller = harder to hit, because you're the same speed either way until you unlock a move that helps you go faster (wolves have sprint, scrappers have haste tiles) or you equip armor that has speed stats - and even if you make yourself small, "/target username" is always an option.

The noobie color kit seems restricting but later in the game you'll be able to get an 'expert makeup kit' where you can pick your own colors in more detail!

SCRAPPERS are itty bitty anthropomorphic animals that come in x different sub-species and in my honest opinion the best looking anatomy-wise are the wolf, fox, cat and dragon. They're pretty slow and aren't suggested for battle, but if you raise your character properly with either Str and/or Mys moves, they can become one deadly little weapon. Scrappers are commonly used to make armor and drain stats from certains armors that can then be transferred into the perfect gear. You can also become a chef, too, and work in Mother Goose's bakery.

> Blue Steel (c.2): allows a Scrapper to ready their and his mighty mount for battle
> Magnum (b.3): a wave of crackling heat targets nearby foes - anyone on fire will take extra damage - hint: good duo with a hellhound's hell breath
Each Strength point spent adds 1+ health point to your health bar.

CONSTITUTION FIELD

> Feedback (b.3): during an item enchantment, the fourth power gem is there just to power the process - this skill gives the Scrapper a chance to feedback the power gem directing into the item as a fourth stat.
Constitution field is pretty tricky at first; ask users Bluewolf and Teto Tinker for live help if they're ever online -- they know what they're doing!

CATGIRLS will at first remind you of a bratty middle schooler who's trying to act cool in a mall, obsessing over going to the back of a Spencer's store. Their default colors are a caucasian athletic female - they don't come in Nekos (males) or other skin tones, which should totally be a thing. Not-so-ironically enough, they're one of the strongest species - able to "Buff" up with several Con-hosted moves that regenerate their... well, everything. There's been complaints in the past that the Catgirls should be weakened, but tactics have been found by expert players to make the battle ground more even. They have more customization options and tots have a pa$$i0n 4 fa$hi0n!
