The Nika Nika Tribe - Seeing how long I can Survive in the Burning Savannah

[Applesauce]

Before, I had a tribe that flurrished in the burning savannah, but that savefile went dead. So now with all the optimism I have left I'm gonna make a new burning savannah tribe, and I'm gonna make it a playthrough. I've been wanting to do one of these forever, but I didn't have any ideas. Then I said screw it, I wanna do a playthrough. So, I make one and this is what happens next.

[Applesauce]

(This is default by the way)

 

My too starters.

They were just children when they left. Their old tribe was young, starving and couldn't support every member. Hethena and her mate new mate Roroso decided it would be better if they left, sparing precious food for their fellow members. Now it's up to them to start a new better tribe, and hope it doesn't fall into ruins.

As they take their first steps into the tall grasses, they are greeted by a nest and two berry bushes. This is where they will make their new home. Hethena want to move further inland, she is eager to explore, but Roroso is afraid that if they venture any further they won't be so lucky. Unlike his mate who took leaving their old tribe as a chance to explore, Roroso is scared of the new world. He knows that leaving was for the best, but he can't help feeling homesick.

[Applesauce]

They prepare to have their first child right away. They're both very nervous, even Hethena. They'll have to raise this child all on their own since their the only tribe members. No help form family.

[Applesauce]

The first baby is born! A little heat bodied daughter!

I kept her default name, Simiana.

Roroso stretches  his neck down into the nest and nuzzles his daughter. Her eyes were brown, unlike her parents who both had black eyes. What made her really different though was her spikes. They wrapped around the outside of her neck, protecting her from the desert heat. Hethena stayed near the nest and started gathering the grass around while Roroso went to get some berries.

[Applesauce]

As the sun dips behind the ocean the pair reflect on the past few days. It's been hard for both of them, and they fell bad that their children will never meet the rest of their family. Hopefully they'll never know the struggle and hunger their old tribe had to face. 

The next day they get ready for another baby.

This time it's a boy! They name him Vero

He's looks a lot like his father with that skinny body

 

[Applesauce]

The next day, Roroso decides to take Simiana out to find more berry bushes. He's afraid to leave his mate, but knows that as the oldest, one day Simian will lead her siblings to their new home and deeper into the savannah. They must teach her how to mange this responsibility as best they can before they pass, even though they themselves never had any leadership experience, and therefore find it hard to make her understand. But they think if they teach Simiana how to scout for food at an early age she'll know how to provide for her tribe in the future. 

Back in the next, Hethena is ready to have another child.

[Applesauce]

The night comes and goes, and a platypus beaked baby is born. Her mother names her Duana.

And they find berry bush! Maybe Duana is lucky...

Two! Simiana is pretty good at this.

[Applesauce]

Here's Duana's genetics

Vero stays close to his mother and little sister

[Applesauce]

THREE!! three berry bushes! 

Simiana is fully grown now, and she's taken over the berry patch

Vero looks after Duana while his mother prepares for the next baby. He notices she looks a lot like their older sister, Simiana, with her spikes and brown eyes

AHHH little Nuno's fur is GORGEOUS!

Overview 

Simiana struggles to get enough food for her family, but with the help of her siblings she manages to pull together a good amount.

[Applesauce]

The new baby (Who I've named Cove) makes his first steps out of the nest while his mother, Hethena, awaits for his father, Roroso.

When Roroso arrives he and Hethena prepare for their fifth and final child

[Applesauce]

It's another boy! He has lean body and no webbed hind legs! Thank god. I name this one Palo

 

[Applesauce]

AAHHH! Big bad near the berry patch

[Applesauce]

Big drama in the tribe today... 

Roroso steps in to fight the bearyena. Together him and Simiana claw and scratch at it. 

Cove watches the fight from the side. He wants to join in and help but his sister Simiana blocks him. She must keep him from the danger, no matter what. He his upset. He can't understand his sister's intentions to protect him, for this is one of her roles as leader.

[Applesauce]

Back at the nest Hethena worries. The tribe will go hungry tonight due to Simiana and Roroso's efforts to slay the bearyena. She's never worried like this in her life, but she knows that they have no choice. It's either they kill the beast now, and go hungry for one night, or endure the bearyena's attack for many days to come. Plus some of the children like Duana, who with all her fierceness, can't run very fast and would succumb to it's attack.

[Applesauce]

They're not dead yet, I'm just inconsistent.

[Applesauce]

Terrible photo of Simiana and Roroso being attacked by the bearyena.

The bearyena is slain, but both Roroso and Simiana take damage, though his is worse then Simiana's. Roroso's live is shorted, and he know he won't last for much longer, but he feels that he's done everything that needs doing and that his job here is done. He was a good father, a good mate, and a good teacher. And he spent what he had left on protecting his children.

The tribe celebrates the death of the bearyena along with the arrival of rain and the regrowth of the berry bushes.

[Applesauce]

Death of Roroso

Heathena plans to take Palo to the bones of his father, feeling that it would be important to Roroso to meet his son in some way, and a way for young Palo to know that he will always have a father. Being the youngest, he never got to spend any time with Roroso, and his mother knows that this is the closest he will get.

[Applesauce]

AAAAHHHHHH here we go again. 

Surprisingly, the arrival of another bearyena isn't viewed as a bad thing in this tribe. In fact they celebrate it's comings. They known that with every tribe member having claws to defend themselves, the beast will come down easy and prove to be a great feast.

But it does come with a cost. Hethena, like Roroso, used her last day to slay the bearyena instead of bring Palo to his father. Now the boy will have go by himself, with only the tales he's heard of Roroso through his mother.

[Applesauce]

oop sorry I haven't done this in a while. Once again, their not dead, I'm just lazy and haven't been on as much. I'm not a very responsible playthrough parent (it is my first time) Yous will see more of them soon. Now, I must go introduce myself to the young ones
