Making Nichelings While Doing Challenges

[HeyIExist]

Using this Steam discussion, I will be attempting to replicate those Nichelings while doing challenges, some made up by me and some by others. To make it harder for myself, I will be switching save files each time the desired Nicheling dies.

Current Challenge

The tribe has a starting limit of four, but they must accept all wanderers, and they up the limit, which is currently four.

With that out of the way, let's go on with the story!

Story

We start out on a Tiny Green Island.

Here are our two starters, Bearnice and Ateno.

And, as you can see, Ateno already has Cracker Jaw, Brown Pattern, Swimming Tail, and Black Fur (I already love him so much aaa). Bearnice has recessive Cracker Jaw and White Horns. Bearnice grew up under a tribe that had a huge personality cult over their first leader, which also meant they had a huge tribe. The day before Bearnice became an adult, the tribe began starving to death, and she ran away. At the same time, Ateno was being forced to leave by his tribe, who was quite peaceful and didn't allow any sort of strength in the tribe. Being peaceful, they let him grow up in the tribe while slowly and gently explaining that he had to leave when he was older. Soon, they bumped into each other.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry miss," Ateno spoke quickly, as he had accidentally knocked Bearnice to the ground.

"It's fine," Bearnice murmured, brushing herself off. "Wait...who are you?"

"My name is Ateno, you?"

"Bearnice," 

"Like a...Bearyena? Because those things are-"

"No, that's not what..." Bearnice trailed off, staring into the grass with a distant look in her eyes. "Look, we're here for different reasons, and we can't go back. In order to survive here, we have to help each other and...well, mate with each other,"

"What about wanderers?" Ateno pointed out, his mother being a former wanderer.

"Just agree with me, PLEASE." Bearnice huffed. There was a moment of silence as no one moved. 

"Fine. I always wanted kids anyways," Ateno agreed, mating with Bearnice.

 

Ateno uses his remaining moves to clear out the grasses surrounding him while Bearnice finds a berry bush and makes her nest next to it, hoping that it worked and that she isn't wasting nesting material and moves.

She is correct, as they are awake all night and Drita is born the next day.

Bearnice sighs as she hops off the nest and picks a few berries to eat.

"He looks quite...handsome?" Ateno comments, looking over the sleeping baby.

All Bearnice does is nod.

"Ow..." Ateno mumbles as a leech leaps out of the water onto him. "Bea-"

"Out of moves," Bearnice replies quickly. Ateno groans.

A day passes. 

"Bearnice, I'm BLEEDING!" Ateno pleads.

"...Fine, but only if you mate with me," She huffs.
"Okay, okay, fine, just get this off me!" Ateno nods quickly as Bearnice walks over. She removes the leech and licks his wound. "Thanks,"

Meanwhile, little Drita has just opened his eyes for the first time, and he stumbles off his nest.

 

Drita is now a young child, probably about 6 years old in human age.

"Mom, what should I do?" He asks nervously, faintly remembering the shaky relationship his parents had the previous day.

"Go find another berry bush or something, just get some food," Bearnice grumbles, and Drita hurries off into the grasses. Ateno mentally notes that she seems more grumpy than usual, but he doesn't say anything about it. Bearnice goes into the nest, hopes that it worked, and picks a few berries in the meantime. Ateno continues clearing the grasses.

Luck is on their side. They are once again awake throughout the whole night and around noontime Ebrahim is born. Bearnice takes this as a very bad omen, as he is a male (she wanted a female) and, for the first time that Ateno and Bearnice reached the island, it rains. Ateno instead takes Ebrahim as everything he wanted. Both agree that they should be done having kids for now.

Drita begins shakily picking a few berries from a bush he found. Bearnice destroys her nest and also picks some berries. Ateno continues clearing the grasses.

The first bunny has appeared, and Ateno leaps into action, killing it and eating it. 

"That could've fed more of us than just you!" Bearnice snaps.

"Gosh, I'm so sorry," Ateno frowns.

Other than the bunny killed, the day continues like the previous.

 

Drita is now an adult, but that doesn't change his fear for his parents. Ebrahim is now a child, and as he opens his mouth, Drita shakes his head over and over.

"Mommy, what should-"

"GO CLEAR SOME GRASSES YOU BLUEBIRD!" Bearnice snaps. "AND FOR YOU, STOP TELLING HIM WHAT TO DO! YOU ARE NOT THE LEADER HERE," Ateno is quite frightened by this, and after killing the bunny the day before, begins to formulate a plan. Now very scared, the two brothers do exactly what they were told to do. At least Drita and Bearnice found new berry bushes.

The next day, Ateno's plan is ready, and after a night of long mental debate, he has decided to execute it. 

"RUN!" He yells in the direction of his kids, who do so, hurrying into the grasses. Ateno then leaps onto Bearnice. 

"What are you do-" Bearnice is cut off as she is killed. Ateno's eyes go wide, realizing what he has just done. Unable to cope with killing another Nicheling, he kills himself.

"W-wha..what should...should we go..?" Ebrahim stumbles over words after hearing the cries of his parents as they fought. 

"No. We're never going back there," Drita murmurs solemnly.

They move away from the area and find a berry bush to satisfy their hunger.

Ebrahim has now grown up, and the brothers try to forget everything. 

Will Drita and Ebrahim ever forget their childhood? Will they ever find love? Find out in the next edition of...this!

Thank you!

yeah that's probably gonna happen

The wanderer thing is a really cool idea! Somehow never thought of that, didn't read it among challenge pages, either. It's those things that seem so clear and yet novel that in hindsight, it really makes you wonder.

I got the idea from the first post in this thread. I was trying to come up with an original idea, so I clicked on the first post on this forum and saw that. I thought, "How about one of the rules is having to invite all wanderers?" Then I read " The lower your population, the higher the chance" and I thought "How about we have a limit of 4 population?" Then I wanted a connection between them, so I thought of making the limit go higher each wanderer you invite. 

Thank you by the way.

Story

After running out of food from the berry bush, Drita and Ebrahim begin warily exploring.

Many days pass. Ebrahim and Drita have continued exploring, Ebrahim finding a tree where his huge snout can be used. Eventually, while looking around his new-found tree, Ebrahim finds a bright pink wanderer named Lucine. 

"What's wrong with your fur?" Ebrahim asks, and Lucine sighs.

"Don't be so rude. Give her some food, she's obviously hungry," Drita tells his younger brother. He reluctantly does so.

Apparently rudeness was not the only reason Drita told Ebrahim to invite her. He finds her quite attractive, and Lucine goes over to meet him.
"What happened?" Drita asks, only recieving a sniffle.

"Shh, it's okay, you can tell me," Drita murmurs soothingly as Lucine begins weeping. After 5 minutes, she wipes her eyes, and begins explaining.

"I came from a tribe that worshiped anything and everything in the sea. It was customary to drown your children, with only the strongest and smartest ones surviving. I was told by a wandering male that could breathe underwater to eat a plant. I could suddenly breathe, and everyone cheered at me. Then leeches were put all over my skin, and that's...why I look like this, and it's why I have a deformed paw. Everyone did. The wandering male helped me get away, and I...I've been running ever since...how can I trust you?" Lucine cries. The brother's eyes soften, and Drita explains his story.

"Oh. Well, I guess we are quite similar," Lucine brightens a bit, and they stay together for the rest of the day. This annoys Ebrahim a LOT.

The next day they are eagerly talking to each other, and Ebrahim rolls his eyes as he cracks open a nut. Drita smiles widely and goes over to Ebrahim. 

"What?" Ebrahim huffs. 

"We've decided that we're going to be mates and have a few children...so you're going to have to get off that nest," Drita explains slowly. Ebrahim groans, and gets off.

Drita returns to Lucine's side, and mates with her. She looks off into the distance.

"Hm?" Drita asks.

"Well...I was thinking since we are getting a bit older, that we should wait a few days to see if I really am pregnant," Lucine says finally. This doesn't make much sense to Drita, but he agrees to wait for 3 days. By then, Lucine would have the child, whether she wanted to or not (if she even had one).

On the night right before the 20th day, Lucine's face scrunches up. She nods to Drita, and hops into a nest. At the same time, a Bearyena appears. Ebrahim decides that he will help defeat it, but if he doesn't get enough recognition, he will strike it out on his own.

The brothers leap into action, Ebrahim for one final chance, and Drita to protect his mate.

Drita gets attacked badly. Although he isn't bleeding, he now only has 2 days left.

He deals the final blow to the Bearyena, not letting Ebrahim even attempt to claw at it. Ebrahim takes this as not being recognized and instead ignored, so he leaves the tribe. 

On his way out, Ebrahim encounters a spotty female wanderer named Leyla. 

She explained she was forced out of her tribe because they thought she was the Nicheling form of one of their weather goddesses. When asked to make it rain, she couldn't do so. The goddess was banned from being worshiped, and she was forced out. Ebrahim explains his story, and they soon fall in love. She is invited into his new tribe, where they agree that they should get off this island to get away from Ebrahim's brother's family.

They begin making their way towards a nearby port.

Meanwhile, the first daughter of Drita is born, and they name her Hilargi.

Drita asks Lucine to move first before his brother could.

"...No. Hilargi is too young, I want to have another child with you, and you will die soon due to your valiant defense of me from that bearyena," Lucine shakes her head. Drita sighs, glances at his brother, and nods. Lucine mates with Drita, and makes another nest.

 

What will happen to Lucine's children? Will Ebrahim and his newly-found mate survive in a possibly dangerous new island? Find out in the next edition of...this!

Story

The next day, Lucine has Drita's last child. Drita names her Anna.

Before anyone can do much else, Leyla and Ebrahim mate and hurry over the stepping stones leading to a new island without looking back.

They find themselves on a huge, sprawling island. 

Leyla makes a nest, hoping that she is pregnant, while Ebrahim clears out the grass covering his mate before running away from under the coconut tree.

Leyla is quite surprised when she wakes up the next morning to see little Andrey sleeping peacefully by her side. 

"I didn't even feel anything..." Leyla thinks.

They decide to have another child almost immediately after they find a permanent nest nearby.

Leyla wakes up soon after she falls asleep, and Artur is born just before dawn.

Leyla agrees with a laugh to Ebrahim's proposal to have as many children as possible, and she gets back in the nest Andrey was born in. She stumbles, and is unable to mate with Ebrahim along with accidentally destroying the nes

Andrey decides he wants to crack coconuts for a living, and he carefully picks one up and breaks it open.

Leyla successfully mates with Ebrahim and makes a new nest. 

Well I have to go, sorry for the short update! 😅

Story

Ebrahim has his first daughter, and they name her Kai.

Artur is now a child. Unlike his brother/his entire family, he wants to leave the comfort and safety of home to go explore. Ebrahim has to convince Lucine that he'll be fine.

Andrey continues to crack open coconuts while Lucine approaches Ebrahim.

"What is it?" She asks.

"...Look, Lucine. I'm nearing my final days. My gems are dimming. I...I would like to have another daughter, if possible," Ebrahim sighs. Lucine agrees.

Instead of having a daughter, Ebrahim has a son, named Milor. He is basically a living replica of his mother. Without warning, Ebrahim suddenly lets out all of his feelings, screaming about how he never loved Lucine and how he only wanted daughters and many other things. This kicks off a life-long problem for Milor that makes him nervous in the most ordinary situations. Eventually, everyone is forced to ignore Ebrahim as he continues ranting even when he is out of moves. 

Ebrahim passes away, though no one cares too much after the previous day's outburst.

Andrey is grown up now, meaning that he can now crack open more coconuts because I NEED CRACKER JAW IN THE MUTATION MENU he can now have a family of his own.

Kai decides to run off into the unknown with her brother.

Artur grows up, making Lucine trust him even more and allowing Kai to run off with him.

After being startled by a mole, Milor gets even more anxious and refuses to leave the comfort of home, only clearing grasses.

Kai and Artur continue to run off.

"Mom, the nest is broken!" Milor exclaims with a shaky voice, pointing to the half-destroyed nest. 

"It'll be okay, dear. It's just more nesting ma-"

"NO!" Milor yelps, leaping in the way of what would've been a paw swipe. He repairs the nest.

Lucine finds comfort in being able to kill the mole, despite only having 1 strength. 

Kai and Artur, both grown up, make some headway into their exploration.

Well, I gotta be honest. I am getting pretty bored of this, it being quite uneventful. I may do my own "Clans Divided" playthrough with my own twist on it, or maybe "How much food can you get in 50 days?" or something different. I will do a few Steam Niche Challenges as well. If you want to know my favorite Nichelings from this, then here they are:

I hope you all enjoyed horny Bearnice, the rivalry between the two brothers, and Ebrahim's outburst before he died!
