Hatelings

In opposition to Seri's tribe, I'm creating an inspired playthrough. Maybe. The rules aren't sure yet and I might delete this.

First things first. This tribe will be bigotted as hell and sort nichelings into three categories:

1. Good (Alpha)

2.  Okay (Beta)

3. Bad (Omega)

And g.c.d, go commit die. They have different rules and rights. The random generator determined these traits:

20190224_234359.thumb.jpg.dc0e382e08e900490b75d639568bb3a2.jpg

On every island, a new gene is added to the list depending on their history.

Starting (none)

-- first flower island (derp snout, beta level of okay). Derp snout was the most prominent trait of the first wanderer. It can't be ideal here, but will be held in higher esteem than others.

-- grass adventure (black pattern: okay). Bee's pattern and that of her descendants. 

-- archipelago (claw: bad) The ugliest daughter had claw.

Swampy Hill: ??

The starters are Adam and Eve, home Island the destination. I sometimes edit pictures and sections to improve quality a bit after posting an update

As you can see, Eve is very ugly. Swimming tail, big nose and black eyes mark as such. Luckily for her, Adam is very kind-hearted and ugly himself.

20190224_235642.thumb.jpg.e8c16f8674f0e478252016aed59db2be.jpg

The swimming tail/fishing tail has to go, though. Adam receives Orange eyes while Eve is assigned the cosmetic mask. 

All goes well for long. However, the island is too small for their family. Eve insists that they need to move while Adam persists on finding his way home. Over many moons, their fights slowly escalate. One fateful day, he accuses her of being uglier than the night is dark, promptly slips on the rain-wet rocks and drowns.

The first born Lari is very angry with her mother. Eve, after all, could have saved Adam thanks to her swimming skill. She winds up her younger siblings and they sneak away by the next morning.

It's not easy. It never is. Little Bee was her father's beautiful golden child. But taking care of her spoiled baby sister proved a lot easier than catering to an upset Raisin.  Raisin had Adam's ugly, pitch black eyes. She loved his deep gaze once, but now these hallmarks evoke a deep sense of anger.

Raisin never was as impressible, either. While little Bee soaks up her big sisters teachings, the middle child stays defiant. Soon she grows stronger, bigger and faster than Lari.

20190225_001713.thumb.jpg.dbb5d46d50f593fec563a860d8238f6e.jpg

Conflict boils. The middle child feels unjustly blamed for her lack of skill. Meanwhile "ugly" Lari thinks they keep her for any dirty work in need of doing. However, family bounds are stronger than that. The sisters stick together.

Until a too smoth stranger enters the picture

Dukdukdukvan is an eyesore. Still, the nicheling has a way with words -- and especially young girls with daddy issues. His beige C Pattern and orange fur seem strangely appealing to an airheaded Bee.

Lari finds his ways unacceptable. They biker and biker. Raisin, never one to let an opportunity slip by, pushes her way in. "If you help me, I will help you. All I ask is this: accept me as your leader!". Shortly after, Dukdukdukvan, very much of the practical persuasion, drags a screaming Lari into the grasses. 

20190225_004021.thumb.jpg.5e87e93547c2014d4d7b7e1f47b6d47f.jpg

Raisin is pleased. While little Bee's family was blessed by burning red horns, they're small, snapable stalks. No one will be able to question her judgement. Or her beauty. Truth be told, garish yellow fur is something she wouldn't want in a mate. As the only non- yellow nicheling, why shouldn't it be the mark of her supremacy?

Raisin looses her charm day by day. But Bee still remains youthful. Clearly, she now needs to convince the others that her sister has grown weak and useless, not herself! What would they do to her?

Before the yellow nicheling can comprehend her ill fate, she is left all alone in the grasses. 

20190225_004806.thumb.jpg.59b2ac53d4d5305b64292a698d3c0148.jpg

It's not meant to last. Bumblebee and Elk soon learn to despise their abductor. However, they wish to be better than their bloodline. All alone, Raisin should learn what fate she had bestowed on others.

20190225_005634.thumb.jpg.21b13cd822c8efd73debb4722372acbc.jpg

Never again would they allow strife.

Bumblebee makes sure to tell her children how beautiful they look everyday. No one will be mocked again.

20190225_010143.thumb.jpg.9276cafa7b316d61774626760854317e.jpg

While everyone being sucessfully made equal is an achievement, she worries. How will she feed her family with resources so tight?

20190225_010530.thumb.jpg.c0d4850db97690327305930beef5cc3a.jpg

Soon enough, somebody has a bad idea.

Their efforts attract the pity of a rather grumpy wanderer. At least they have a healer now. 

20190225_010803.thumb.jpg.228a0ca0e0bd9695355b5267990d0b8e.jpg

It's not enough.

With their parents providing so little, the group comes up with creative ways to split their share. Games, at first. But competing is tiring and some stop to bother. Why would they, when they always lose?

Some decide to hunt on their own.

20190225_012401.thumb.jpg.663e21282a2089e535f7ad5c1f1994d0.jpg

Others were born on the wrong day and starved.

Before they knew it, they were all alone

Unsavoury tasks fell to the weak again. Taku was born slow, disfigured and helpless. A prime candidate.

A question remains. What inherent deficiency distinguishes the powerless?

Meringue is disgusted. he has Big Nose, black eyes, and possibly Swimming Tail. HOW COULD YOU???

A new alliance formed under Silver. Their rules would be clear. The survival of the group would take precedence above all.

20190225_014225.thumb.jpg.037a9b7aa9ed7822ece82bd1ec380509.jpg

And they themselves would die when the situation asked for it.

20190225_014917.thumb.jpg.00f3f773fab672027e7466cca3fbe6bd.jpg

Eventually,  Silver herself was found deficient. The no paw Cinnamon takes her rank in the council. While she was the hope for the great beak and unremarkable poison fangs, he might bring big ears. Yellow fur becomes the new death sentence.

One day, a creature appeared. Uglier than all before him, every branch of the island shook with rightous indignation.

20190225_020851.thumb.jpg.d14a00c2f405df962898185cc7bcc6c7.jpg

Err -- no. That one

20190225_020902.thumb.jpg.01b24ff1b92471b82fda83213578261f.jpg

The major threat toddled before the council. Matters of great importance were scheduled today. Is Maya's fur a nice shade of black with a wonderful beige/black pattern? Or is she a moss brown traitor in disguise with a hidden streak of YELLOw?

Done with this **** All order was lost when a big eared wanderer appeared. The new generation fled the island.

More majestic than ever, the archipelago would prove the next challenge.

20190225_023924.thumb.jpg.f978b94c49a2b3603f0c32008303287d.jpg

They establised three things:

1. The "grand council" is a stupid name.

2. They would be more productive than the old one and not pursue meaningless technicalities.

3. Someone needs to get that pesky normal fertility out. Where's that low infertility at? 

Meanwhile, the nearsighted, big eared immigration grew bigger and bigger.

The nearsighted animals struggled to settle on the next island. A cult around big ears was formed.

On the other side, their beautiful fox spirited cousins flourished. However, when it came down to handing the reins to the next generation, an atrocity happened.

20190225_030242.thumb.jpg.4342cc6ac42d8a164dfcf2eafcd15ccb.jpg

The heiress had defiled herself! Clearly, the male has no mind of his own and is hence not guilty.

But that was only the beginning. The council decided to travel northwards. The big eared cult decided to build a border wall. Why? They had a terrible dispute not long ago about the definition of "low" fertility. Is it like theirs, 2-3 with an infertile trait? Or is it a consistent double 1? Worse yet, which of them is the "immigrant"?

In the following bloody war, the foxspirits were defeated as they had drowned all their ugly children. The remaining two jumped over the wall. 

20190225_030827.thumb.jpg.8da4dbb4107ee8342ae2d387b072b2ad.jpg

"If you marry my ugliest daughter, there will be peace" proclaimed the red chieftain. Somehow, he had managed to pass his spray tan down genetically. 

Unlike the fairer derp-snout maidens, our leading male's hopes were crushed when the only big nosed one stepped forward. Even worse, her eyes were as black as the depths of hell. Little did he know that his blood was already impure, for he was 25% bearyena. 

20190225_031423.thumb.jpg.e436ecf8685b58282626a91b8e9e4b5f.jpg

The fair orange crackerjaw, every one's favourite combination outside the tribe, and even fairer yellow/black derpsnout ... went for the albino. Unfortunately, neither child inherited the bird beak.

20190225_031753.thumb.jpg.5ad1a9e9ea6971eb7f7572eb5722b7b9.jpg

20190225_031834.thumb.jpg.e57c3a0ff11d6256a8a673d013acd42b.jpg

While albinism still allowed the tank of an Omega, Melanism was the true mark of evil. Eternally disappointed, mother and son went on a nice swimming trip. He died happily, knowing there was someone uglier nearby.

20190225_032210.thumb.jpg.cf0bafa5685de4e89b5a975736d3e4ce.jpg

20190225_032106.thumb.jpg.89099b1c80d0611ea3bf7b8b55b91ac2.jpg

The foxspirit's children inherited their mothers deformed snout, even if not her pitch black eyes. However, the violett eyed daughter attracted a handsome male. His flawed yellowish fur would be overlooked for the desired velvet paw, the best paw of all.

20190225_032257.thumb.jpg.77097a2a21cf11ceafd630ee6fe74b6a.jpg

Her mother, unhappy, sent her second, uglier brother with her as punishment. His ears were disgustingly small. How dare she not fall for her brother, as is proper?

Her beloved's inherited his handsome face. Her cursed brother, however, smirched her status with a hellspawn.

20190225_033033.thumb.jpg.5eb1d14989f7fc1ae93b4db2db26f694.jpg

Still, she couldn't bring herself to banish an innocent child.

Hey, at least they wouldn't drown him. Unless it really is swimming tail, then, uh, I'm sure he'd swim away and get them all sick. Since they really suck at it...

New rules - 

-- No alpha/omega pairings

-- G.c.d traits cannot be compensated for

-- One slot is always reserved for cosmetic genes.

-- Creatures with "bad" genes cannot be invited anymore unless they'd be the only one to have said trait. (Here: green eyes)

-- A worse trait by the ranking system cannot be mutated on purpose

-- On every island, a new gene is added to the list depending on their history.

Starting (none)

-- first flower island (derp snout, beta level of okay). Derp snout was the most prominent trait of the first wanderer. It can't be ideal here, but will be held in higher esteem than others.

-- grass adventure (black pattern: okay). Bee's pattern and that of her descendants. 

-- archipelago (claw: bad) The ugliest daughter had claw.

And so, the group gathered at the next port. One fiery red alpha to lead them all, two beta and omega. Their... less pleasant company would be ignored.

20190225_194638.thumb.jpg.ceb431ade8314a688ed471e3770ba06d.jpg

However, the leader Amber did not wish for a divide. While his group searched the shores for a new home, he tried to integrate the oucasts.

20190225_195213.thumb.jpg.fd8beefe23ddfc6ce4547d730e61a473.jpg

Even with their second child so lowborn, the tribe would be sworn to protect them. During his long winded speech, something rustled in the grasses.

20190225_195300.thumb.jpg.697667ef8e70d9aebd8f0036169765e0.jpg

And gone he was. 

But who is this?

20190225_195712.thumb.jpg.f3e14f558b05b858e920fe1c1982b3b6.jpg

The hatelings settled in well. Soon, the Omegas had outlived their purpose and were discarded.

20190225_195101.thumb.jpg.566960e07e37c4630e8674ca869a0e8b.jpg

" It is you or Raresi. Choose well".

20190225_200439.thumb.jpg.93a5a9184af2af4e0910c92855451510.jpg

And so heather eyed Rare accepted fate. Her former mate was just glad for being spared. Until... he witnessed an atrocity. With a sight that cannot be unseen, Vankir succumbed to madness and despair.

20190225_200759.thumb.jpg.446bd35a5b3c19b20a331bd14ab11eee.jpg

20190225_200102.thumb.jpg.bdf1f89507d34986da1014739545fa20.jpg

Raresi wasn't less confused by the strangest pair in the grasses. As soon as they were spotted, they ran for the ominous tree. No one dared follow.

20190225_194540.thumb.jpg.fdcfed3c691719563eeefbb7adb0173f.jpg

Too busy to bother, Amber continued on his duties. The next line was to be of the Beta derpsnout Vannu and the Omega Velvet. Too scared to rebel against a male twice her age, she accepted his advances until he dropped dead. While she hated him, he at least produced an alpha son. 

20190225_200511.thumb.jpg.9b2d868c643a86f07b810e92830c3939.jpg

This development was worrying. He did not keep her from a starry eyed Strawberry just for a child to outrank him! Yet, his white markings and big ears left no doubt: This mere child would one day challenge and banish him.

This format just doesn't work. Maybe it would if...

- I stay longer on islands (no story mode)

- mix it with a second challenge

- stay only on hard islands

- things wouldn't always go back to being tyrannical, or if there was a better reason for it (permanent lack of food). 

- two groups work against each other or more (but this might get confusing namewise)

- they're mostly normal. Just with claws for paws and incapable of love. This does not stop them from being fine, otherwise, though. The name may come from the rival group, which places too much value on everything romantic. So no hate on the original format (not my idea, but I altered some parts of it). Starting in story mode to have an end goal was just a really bad idea.

I liked its simultaneous fetish and hatred for all things water. Some things were beyond weird, though. Albinism = bad. White markings? Yes please, unless they're of thick density, then g.c.d..
