hotspring monkey Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I'll post this now for people to see. I was insanely drunk, asshole, paranoid and generally ass towards everyone. Apologies for that everyone. Description: Quote You recognize the signature traits of the Feral in this critter. Human and rodent attributes have curiously mingled, but the hybridization is imperfect, even flawed in some aspects. As far as you can tell, the facial features are mostly human, yet somehow unnatural, artificial even. Considering the masculinity of the creatures face, you are able to guesstimate its sex as male. A pair of ears, elongated and pointy, peek out under snow-white mop of hair. Beady, bright-red eyes, alertly observing the environment, confirm your suspicion of albinism. The glimmer in those eyes suggests both sentience and cunning. The nasty grin of this rodent reveals a flashy set of pointy teeth - perfect for gnawing. His body is coated with mangy, white fur, which covers everything below the neck. His limbs are imbued with humanoid strength and motility, but instead of hands and feet, the limbs terminate in clawed paws. Disturbingly, this rat-man appears to have functional thumbs, which it uses to clutch weapons and tools, albeit with some difficulty. A bald, sinewy tail extends from his backside. It twitches erratically every now and then, as if it has a mind of its own.

Emotes, etc: Quote Basic, idle scratching: emote stretches his hind foot behind his neck and starts scratching behind the ears. emote stretches his hind foot behind his neck and suddenly freezes for a moment. smote After a moment, Kelmi starts to move again and starts scratching behind the ears. smote A squeak of pleasure chirrups while Kelmi grooms his head. smote A faint squeak of pleasure chirrups while Kelmi grooms his tail. smote A slight squeak of satisfaction chirrups while Kelmi grooms the hair of his back. Emote/Smote says: smote "%1", Kelmi says and squeaks shortly. emote lets out a long squeak and says, "%1" Laughs: smote Kelmi, seemingly amused, emits a burst of extremely high-pitched chirps. emote appears to be laughing, but you do not hear anything. How curious. Edgecraft: emote gnaws around the edges of some %1.;edge %1 Cock waving: pmote Kelmi walks to %1 and slightly raises his hind foot. A few smears of something wet dribble on %1. Friendly pissing: smote A wet smear can be seen on %1 as Kelmi passes by. Compulsive/automated behavior: (like the nose twitch, tail movements) emote sways from side to side as he tries to see something clearer. smote In a blur of movement, Kelmi's whiskers twitch as he evaluates the situation. smote Kelmi's tail twitches erratically. Backstab: smote Drumming his feet to the ground first as to gather energy, Kelmi jumps towards %1 with all limbs thrown forward like a fuzzy spear!;back %1 History: Quote history edit It is common knowledge that rats infest the sewers - gnawing on everything even remotely edible. The case with the sewers of Miruvhor is no different. A rat population thrives alongside the urchins and orphans hiding there, who - occasionally - are massacred after some lunatic comes to sacrifice them in the name of one who calls himself Reskath. The remains of the children are a feast for the rats, who breed unchecked like, well... rats. The life of a single rat is usually rather straightforward and uneventful. It eats, defecates, copulates and dies, usually within the first year of its life, in the same sewers it was born. This one, curious looking rat, was slightly different from the others of its litter. It was enjoying the simple life in the shadows, gnawing on rotting guts of some creature it knew nothing about. The rat probably thought it was the best thing it had ever tasted. But suddenly it caught a whiff of an odd, alien scent, which overwhelmed the familiar aromas of the sewers. It followed its nose to a curious looking contraption. The rat had never seen one like it, but the scent beckoned it to investigate. It found an opening on the side of the device, and crawled through without a second thought. *CLACK CLACK* The opening disappeared behind the rat, and moments later a soft hum filled the small cavity. Slowly, the rat started to feel very sleepy, and dozed off, dreaming of the strange scent. @ journal to Immortal journal subject History: Journal of the Magi journal edit First entry 1973 BC Day I: Finally, the testing environment is ready and my request to access the Aether has been approved. I have my mazes, puzzle boxes and other testing apparatus fully operational. Master wants me to create a genius breed of rats to use as spies, infiltrators and saboteurs - a daunting task for anyone, even if Master had not given me unique tomes of ancient knowledge to peruse. Now I only have to wait for my assistant to return with the test subjects he is supposed to trap. Day III: My assistant brought me the rats, but as he was leaving, he knocked over one of my test vial racks and made a terrible mess. I lost a whole day just airing out the laboratory, because the spilled chemicals mixed and formed noxious gases! By (DEITY), that man is a brute, and a clumsy one to boot. He is also too stupid to assist in my research. If I had no need for a constant stream of fresh test subjects, he would be nothing but waste of breathable air. What was his name again? Loi, or something like that? Anyway, I still have to notch the ears of these rats, so I can tell them apart. Day VI: I have managed to determine which rats are the smartest based on several trials and puzzles. I incinerated the ones that did not make it to the top ten. The survivors will undergo a strict training regimen, and I will feed them elixirs, which supposedly foster cognitive faculties. Day XXIV: After comparing the results of the modified rats to non-modified rats, I see a threefold increase in problem solving, 50 percent increase to appetite, and a marked increase in willingness to explore. Unfortunately, no matter how hard I push them, they will not improve further. It appears that I have reached the limits of this method. Day XXX: Uncovering the brain, and exposing it to raw Aether while channeling a stream of weak evocation magic finally did the trick. I created rat geniuses! Unfortunately, all my test subjects perished a few hours later due to what appears to be massive brain trauma. My oaf of an assistant (turns out his name is actually Lui) will have to fetch more. Day L: Lui brought me a white rat today. Curious. It seems very smart and capable, and I have a much easier time to handle it. Due to its lack of coloration I can easily find the vein and draw blood. This gave me the idea to breed it so I can hopefully get more of them. It would make my job easier and I would no longer have to wait for that imbecile assistant of mine. He smells of sewer. DAY L + six months: I have arrived to the conclusion that rat brains are simply not sophisticated enough for what my work demands. Therefore, I must look into other solutions if I aim to create sentient rats that follow orders. My master will be displeased. However, I'll be keeping a small rat population housed in my laboratory just in case. They are useful test subjects, after all. All of them are albinos and direct descendants of the white rat Lui caught several months ago. Magi Ahuj Utsak @ journal post journal to Immortal journal subject Journal of the Magi journal edit Second entry 1974 BC Day CCCLXX: I may have approached my rat problem from the wrong angle. Instead of creating intelligent rats, I should have taken readily available intellect and transferred it into them. Too bad rat and human brains differ too much in size, which excludes a direct brain transfer. However, after searching the library for months, I stumbled upon a tome, which details incantations of the obscure art of polymorphy. Day CCCLXXV: Polymorph magic is too unstable to utilize. Melding two rats together, even if successful, spontaneously reverts after a few seconds, liquefying the test subjects in the process. I must find a way to stabilize the meld. Day CCCLXXX: Success! Casting the polymorph spell using concentrated Aether as the conduit, I've melded two rats into a single one, apparently healthy rat! What's more, the magical weave holds, and I cannot detect it with my divination. I have no idea how long it will last. Maybe it is permanent. It is time to summon my assistant back from his vacation. Day CCCLXXXI: At last, I am ready for another attempt. My "willing" test subjects, a heavily sedated human named Lui Kero and an albino rat #23 are ready in the test chamber. I have fashioned wands containing the necessary magic. Once the conditions are suitable, I shall zap them both simultaneously, and the Aether should do the rest. Day CCCLXXXII: My experiment has failed! The size difference must have been too great, because Lui absorbed the rat essence, yet remained his own size and did not change at all. Questioning him yields very little, as the fool apparently lost his memory in the process. I have placed him in quarantine for now, so that he does not explode in an inconvenient location. Day (barely readable): Something is wrong with Lui. He has started to grow fur all over his body. White fur. And his face, ugly as it were before, has twisted out of proportions. It looks eerily uncanny now, not entirely human. Some of his fingers are starting to fuse together. I had him stripped nude, and sure enough, he has started to grow a tail! My hypothesis is that he is slowly turning into a giant rat. So far, his mental abilities, sub-par as they were, haven't yet deteriorated. Time will tell whether the rat form takes over completely and he turns into a mindless beast. I've heard tales of werewolves and other beastly humanoids, called Ferals, but who has ever heard of a Rat-man? But one thing is for sure, he will make a piss-poor infiltrator, sticking out like a sore thumb, and thus my project has failed. Magi Ahuj Utsak @ journal post Journals were bunch, filling the history more: Quote journal to Immortal journal subject Kelmi's journal, entry one journal edit Master created Kelmi to be a tool, infil-trator? Apparently, I was too big for that. No good for anything Master said. Kelmi did always what Master ordered it to, but it was not enough. My qualities and abilities didn't fill the purpose Master wanted. So Master got rid of Kelmi. Perhaps wanted that I .. die? That would explain why the big men of Master dragged me away from my cell to some murky place. Oddly, it felt like I was in home, but how that could be? Something happened there, but I do not know for sure what. The big men left and I was left there alone... in a murky but cosy, wet sewers. It has been now five years since Master got rid of me. In the beginning I felt lost and truly that I have no purpose in this .. place. Curiosity drove me out the Sewers after I observed many ... adventurers of different, odd species venture down the sewers to do some odd tasks. I was curious who their Master is, that orders them around. Obviously the sight of me made the adventurers cringe in the terror many times and they either fled the area or tried to kill me.. I just hid away in the shadows and vanished the scene myself then. Finally I managed to find someone whom didn't want to kill me or think I'm a threat to her. She was odd mix of a some furry animal and a human. It felt bit like she was kin to me. Her name was Anita and she worked for Master in guild of the Thieves. She introduced me to the guild and I it felt good to fulfill orders again. It felt like I have a purpose. They didn't mind that I'm bigger than a common rat. I think they said "yer fine as ya are". Slowly I learned the skills they utilize in their line of work.
