Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

IF YOU COULD ADD ONE MONSTER TO THE BESTIARY, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?

other anons, argue against it

Pooka. Give us horrific-looking rabbit people.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-15 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
you could possibly get the mods to agree to stretching this to include characteristics from rodents too, like how you can make a sheep minotaur, and get rat and mouse people

Re: +1

(Anonymous) 2016-01-15 10:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I like this addition.

I just want grotesque rabbit people okay.

Imagine it.

And it fits since there are plenty of stories of Pooka as hunting down and killing humans as prey.

imagine if their teeth kept growing continuously like real rabbits' and rodents' teeth do and they had to gnaw on bones and stuff to keep them from going through their own skulls

how delightfully horrifying

(Anonymous) 2016-01-15 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
pooks are also dogs cats horses goats etc not just rabbits, how would you fold the more common form of pookas into the type without stepping on the toes of other monsters

how would you write them up, powers, weaknesses, feeding requirements?

i probably wouldn't tbh, it's not necessary. every monster type has limits, nothing has to be 100% true to a pretty diverse set of real world mythology. ryslig isn't on earth

sasquatch/bigfoot/yeti/skunk ape-type creature

they could be massive strong ape monsters

(Anonymous) 2016-01-16 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
i'd like this with a little more differentiation from minotaurs/trolls/werebears, because it feels like there are a lot of Strong monsters already. maybe you could do something with how fuckin hard it is to ~find~ bigfoot or something

da

(Anonymous) 2016-01-16 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
maybe temporary invisibility and/or overpowering BO?

banshees. all you'd have to do is rework shades a little and give them some sort of crying/shrieking ability.

also, slime/blob monsters. imagine having one of your character's changes being their bones slowing melting, their skin falling apart, etc.

ooh, do want slimes. monster musume has a variety of slime types here: http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/997/882/6bf.png

i'd like skeleton/bony monsters too but idk about that one. too close to wendigo?

Re: IF YOU COULD ADD ONE MONSTER TO THE BESTIARY, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?

(Anonymous) 2016-01-16 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
you could do a ton of variety with slimes for the horror angle as well, if that's what you're into more (not that there's anything wrong with sexy)

and you could do some really crazy shit for fog god stuff

http://img1.joyreactor.cc/pics/post/full/Dungeons-&-Dragons-%D0%98%D0%B3%D1%80%D1%8B-story-2352773.jpeg

maybe they could incorporate parts of monsters they absorb temporarily into their form or something too, that'd be cool

Re: IF YOU COULD ADD ONE MONSTER TO THE BESTIARY, WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY?

(Anonymous) 2016-01-16 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
i still really want slimes but i think banshees would've been cooler as a fog god form for shades or a siren form for mers

not that displacer beasts and serpents aren't cool, but

dullahans. they'd need a little bit of tweaking, probably, to make them more than just "headless monster," but i could see them being fun. soul-eating omens of doom who can beam their head at you if you're pissing them off? sign me the fuck up.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-16 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
i'm still on board with these. and if they could detach more limbs in fog form, like full on floating separate appendages, that could be cool and creepy

you could give them bad luck powers or something idk

i feel like a lot of this is covered by the other Big Strong Rage monsters but tbh i'd be on board with it 100% if it strayed from the actual hindu monster a little bit and went d&d with the backwards hands

i've always just found that so unsettling

(Anonymous) 2016-01-16 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
repost monster so sue me, but from the last time this thread happened

Nephilim -- there's some angel traits that are really monstrous. And the Nephilim are supposed to be the giant children of angels & men that were cannibalistic, so it still fits monsters. Possible traits- Too many eyes, eyes places where eyes shouldn't be, wings in sets of 2-8. Grow taller, like trolls do. Possibly burning brightly, painful to look at? Give them the opposite of the monsters with the day light weaknesses, disable them at night. Personality changes: paladin type, self-righteous heading into delusional.

I'd love this one!

(Anonymous) 2016-01-16 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
these would be a cool, still monstrous balance to demons. and it would give people an excuse to do some sick-ass kill six billion demons-style designs.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-17 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
1) this would be supercool and i love it

2) i feel like the feeding requirement should be something in the soul/lifeforce/energy area and perhaps a thematically fitting way to accomplish this would be to have the nephilim lay hands on the victim to draw it in, but in the process the victim burns from the inside out until they're nothing but white hot ash. a monster affected enough by the suggested personality changes could believe their victim had been purified by holy fire.

sold.

my first move as mod if elected will be to run an event to have an excuse to add this to the bestiary.

(Anonymous) 2016-01-18 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
Hands down my favourite suggestion tbh.

witches!

they could be the most powerful at magic but physically weak to keep things balanced. i'm not sure about physical changes, possibly a more aged and haglike appearance, with some kind of "devil's mark" somewhere on their body

possible unique powers could include the ability to brew potions and create amulets, invoking magic with their blood, flight (with a broom), and using familiars as their remote eyes and ears

possible weaknesses could include salt (because it weakens magic), water (because people were drowned in witch trials and also a wizard of oz reference), and sharing the pain of any harm done to their familiars
