Pandora's Fox II

PANDORA'S FOX II

If you were here last June, do you remember that app that appeared on the relics then, Pandora's Fox? It's all about finding your Familiar bond. It's been available for people to use since every Star Child was forced to fill it out or have it filled out for them with its grand reveal. However, it's sat quietly in the background unobtrusive to those who didn't click to see what it was about.

Until now.

That's right, Pandora's Fox is back! (and with a makeover). The app has been rejiggered with old questions and new, including some specific to each Role! The app will buzz and open itself with a blank profile waiting to be filled out. Star Children can fill it out for themselves—as long as they don't lie. This app will not allow Star Children to lie. Honesty is important in a Familiar bond. Star Children who lie may find that answer filled in a little too honestly and unable to be deleted. Anyone who waits too long to fill it in will find it answered for them!

Familiar bonds come in all different shapes and sizes, so find the right person for you!

This is game canon!

Forms for your characters!

If I might venture a guess though - that you say their patron is a goddess of chaos, I assume that custom has led to conflicts in the past?

Conflict is welcomed, and smaller houses are destroyed by larger, more powerful ones, regularly. What is honored is doing so without anyone knowing it was you who loosed the arrow.

Huuuh. And are the elves of the surface similarly retaliatory in that conflict?
usestwohands: (✘ Not the most agreeable Drow)

[personal profile] usestwohands 2024-10-24 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
The Drow give them little choice. They regular make raids on the surface elves. They do not...leave survivors.

[personal profile] nativized 2024-10-24 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, then are there raids to the below by those above as well? Or is theirs merely a defensive posture?
usestwohands: (pic#7159131)

[personal profile] usestwohands 2024-10-24 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
There is nothing defensive about it. It is a slaughter. The Drow target the surface elves during times of celebration, when they are weak and their guards lowered. We are the boogeymen they warn their children of at night.

I was raised on the same lies, that the elves of the surface were evil and wished nothing but harm for us, that they should be killed before they could return the favor.

[ He pauses a moment. ]

It wasn't until I saw them that I knew, such creatures as they couldn't possibly be evil.

[ ... Huh. Hmmm, ]

So the surface elves don't have attacks to those below?
usestwohands: (pic#7159163)

[personal profile] usestwohands 2024-10-28 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
No. We're taught they have forsaken us. More likely, they fear us so much they leave us to our lightless home and thank the gods when we stay there.

[ . . . Huh ]

...Sheesh. That's some rough history. Sorry to dig in on that, I just found myself a little curious to see that sort of distinction among elfkind.
usestwohands: (Default)

[personal profile] usestwohands 2024-11-13 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there no similar distinction among humankind?

[personal profile] nativized 2024-11-13 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Huh... that's an interesting question. Lex mulls it over for one moment and then admits, ]

Where I came from there's dozens, hundreds. I just don't know of any where there's gods I'd legitimize involved in them. And if people made distinctions between each other, they'd do it by kingdom or creed.

[ That he identified as a 'dark elf' makes it sound like ... well no, it's still a creed, isn't it? ]
usestwohands: (✘ That could have gone better)

[personal profile] usestwohands 2024-11-14 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
There is no strife between creeds in your world?

[ That's shocking. ]

[personal profile] nativized 2024-11-14 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no, that's the definition of strife. Sorry, sorry. I say "If" it's really more... they do. I was just trying to sound poetic.
usestwohands: (✘ These people are so full of it)

[personal profile] usestwohands 2024-11-15 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, my apologies. Is religion not creed?
nativized: Color edits by <user name="saltprince">; PM if that's an issue (Ape-Man)

[personal profile] nativized 2024-11-16 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Religion is, but... [ ... How does he word this without sounding rude. Lex hesitates a moment and then just presses on - ] ... I don't think I could confidently say anyone's forged a pact with a goddess in the land I know. That sounds somehow more definite.
usestwohands: (pic#7159125)

[personal profile] usestwohands 2024-11-17 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps, but the results no no less real. A goddess need not stand before you to force your hand if you believe.

[personal profile] nativized 2024-11-18 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, you're not... wrong.

[ He somehow just pictures that being worse. Like it would provide... certainty. Certainty from which there's no shaking. It would make it more like them. but if he puts them aside, ]

Then yeah, looking at it through belief, a lot of conflicts flare up along those lines. Less than there is for material reasons like greed, but still plenty, especially if you count ones with the more "lesser" folks like lizardmen.
usestwohands: (pic#7159169)

[personal profile] usestwohands 2024-11-18 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Greed will make a man attack another, but it is faith that stirs nations. If a war is waged over resources, it is more about survival than greed.

...lizardmen are not lesser, only different.

[personal profile] nativized 2024-11-18 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
You know, that's a sympathetic framing. I think I like to imagine that's the case.

[ Soldier on the ground, he tends to think of that for himself, but not be charitable to societies or noble's motives.

As to that second part, though, he... hmm. does he agree or disagree? Lex considers that for a moment before he just replies, ]


Ah, so some version of them about for you too?
usestwohands: (Default)

[personal profile] usestwohands 2024-11-18 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps, but it doesn't touch upon the third cause of war: power. Some men wage war for control, and those men deserve no quarter.

Yes, Faerun is home to lizardmen, as well as gnolls, kobolds, orcs, goblins. We're quite a diverse world.

[ Moralistic... he can't blame the guy, given the heritage this whole post of his implied. Lex hums and focus on that second part after recording a little affirming noise of agreement. ]

... Huh. No idea what a gnoll is, myself. But I've encountered kobolds in my own realm. Goblins too.

[ Orcs is a little sketchy. And kobolds and goblins would both be counted as "lesser" by most but uh, no need to go into that just yet. ]
usestwohands: (pic#7159135)

[personal profile] usestwohands 2024-11-24 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ They are in Faerun as well, and to be quite honest, Drizzt has a hatred for orcs. They murdered his mentor. ]

Gnolls are a strange species of beastman. They're born of a curse and share many features with hyena but as men. They have a culture and language. They exist as slave labor in most of the Underdark, but I've also known them to work for demons.

[ Having a culture and language, but born of a curse...? Interesting, that's- ]

... Huh. If they really got a language and culture but work regularly enough for these demons, does that mean it's a part of that culture?
usestwohands: (pic#7159131)

[personal profile] usestwohands 2024-12-05 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
It's something like a possession, so in a way, yes.

[ Huh- ]

Are demons inherently negative in your realms?
