k, so. this is the route i've decided. I'll take all 7 characters (to protect against dropout).<br/><br/>Vore is Unusual - most people can't do it, but there's some who can learn from a natural predator to achieve it.<br/>Strictly against the law / unregulated / intimiate - Naga's are bound by law, not to consume other nagas. They follow a strict code of law on who they can and can't eat, for the most part it's done for intimacy, rather than consumption - because they are a civilized people. Never before has there been a reason to regulate it outside of naturally-capable species.<br/>Permadeath: except if the predator has a mean to bring someone back, ressurection spell, etc. Bond feat in the VSRD, so on.<br/>No inter-party digestion without everyone in OOC agreeing it's fine. It sucks when a character you like to interact with goes out without you ever having a chance to save them. That said, I won't be intervening either. Not actively, anyway.<br/>Players who fail to keep up with post count, will be killed via gobbling. After repeated warnings. Either NPC or PC.<br/>Vore in the Arena is one of a few draws. Some find it frightening, others thing it's entertaining in a violent way. Most do not think it possible.<br/>You're all fine with sex, so thats okay. Gives you guys chance to have fun during pause periods.<br/>Most of you said you don't like touchy subjects, so if i can't do it well, I won't bother.<br/>Finally, most of you want an open-world to play with. Which is fine with me, i'd rather create settings and areas than try to come up with a quest.<span style="font-weight: bold">Why would you all continue to travel together, though?</span>You guys need to be able to answer that yourselves, if we go open-world. If you suddenly decide to break away for your own stand-alone adventures, I won't be putting up with that. The party for the most part needs to remain whole.<br/>Betrayal ends in NPC'ification and should be discussed with me some time prior. Ie, if you're not happy with a series of situations. But you shouldn't resort to this as a first offense. Nor should you use your alignment to try and force others to follow your way of thinking. It's a cooperative game.<br/><br/>So!<br/><br/>Backstory info.<br/>You lot have all been at the arena for some time. Some longer than others, but eitherway you've all had a winning streak and what remains of your party right now, is the last of the 'winners circle'. The Colleseum; thanks to your efforts, has also become more popular. Going from some watched fights, others a fleeting audience, to packed out whenever any of you are involved. You're mini-celebrities. You've also learnt, as much as the Colleseum is about violence, there's also a lot of acting and improv that goes on - trying to make a fight as entertaining as possible, since most are not to the death. Whatever your lives were before, are a distant memory, shrouded by pain, bad acting and the risk of death. You've been informed tonight you'll be performing the Battle of Pyran Plain; where Centaurs charged a garrison of troops. You're to be the troops, complete with uniform. And if any of you recall, you guys lost that battle. Thankfully, you recall, they don't have real Centaur slaves or criminals present. So it'll likely be mounted enemies.. But still. You're about to be outnumbered, that much is for sure. And it's an open field, too. People want to see blood and death in this one. You begin to wonder if the people who run the place want your kill streak to end in an epic, well-known battle...<br/><br/>As for how you're treated, you have your own circle of followers who give you gifts, but you're still behind bars and sleep in a shared barracks. You have slaves that attend to your whims, but they're owned by someone else and can't give themselves for more cardinal desires. Your respective owners don't mind sharing a bit of coin with you, like doting on a pet, but little else. They also do not see you often and have their own guards, since it's a place of villainy and violence.<br/><br/>The world beyond is unfamilar to you, you were brought some distance to an arena much further than your homelands.<br/><br/>EDIT: Most of you are non-predatory species, but with help from your friendly neighbourhood predator naga friend, you've been learning how, for whatever reasons you guys wanna come up with. Maybe vocally or maybe from observation, but in this battle, this is the first time it's been an option for you and that you're finally confident enough to use it.<br/><br/>Hope that helps you all.
