Domesticated Animals Esoteric Wildlife (armadillo, jellyfish, Scheloran tormet, cockroach, bat) General Human Traits General Hylotl Traits General Deadbeat Traits General Naian Traits Assorted Toxins (Jellyfish toxin cocktail, inherited venom, Scheloran tormet venom, tetrodotoxin) Venom Details: Ry's venom is a cocktail of different chemicals; its effects include severe necrosis around the bite wound (a cytotoxin), quickened bleeding (an anticoagulant), potential paralysis or difficulty moving muscle tissue around the bite, potential difficulty breathing (a neurotoxin), and possible death in some cases. Death is far from guaranteed, while still being not outside the realm of possibility. Most commonly, dying from Ry's venom will consist of suffocation from paralysis of the diaphragm. - Relationships - - Despised - I can't usually hold a grudge to save my life. Usually. Rot in hell.Matryoshka: I'm proud of her for taking you out on her own. 'Archivist': You took so much from me. My sense of identity, my ability to move freely in Haven... my friendships in Renaize, my left fucking arm. And all you gave me was that wood block print. I can appreciate art, at the very least. You haunt my nightmares. 'Deer God': You used me, like a tool in your plans. A pawn, meant to divert Noel from finding out where you really are. You manipulated my emotions, used your pheromones on me, to make me do things I wouldn't have done otherwise. You made me an enemy to Renaize. Fuck you. Fuck everything you are. I hope someone burns you and everything you've created out there in Renaize's woods to the ground. - Enemies - You have ill will toward me, or... earned your hate, but I can't hold a grudge very easily. We could fix things, if you ever wanted to. - null - - Disliked/Afraid - Live and let live. Leave me alone, and we'll be fine.'Dee': Short for "sleep paralysis demon", apparently. I've never met her, but... she knows who I am, I'm sure. She makes me nervous, because... she's... always there, with Robin, and I don't know her, so I don't know how she feels about me. Rose Avalice: Poly's "problematic daughter". She gives me weird vibes, I don't trust her - I trust her mother, and there's some tension there. Noel: Friend of a friend, enemy to me. I want to make things right, but you seem to hate me so much it isn't possible to mend things, it feels like. There's a bitterness, but it only goes one way. Mother: The ship AI, aboard the Amnesty. Went a bit nuts. Declared war on Renaize. "Sol": If you're doing all the things I've heard you are, then... I hope you come to your senses one day. Kilariya Ikehara: I guess we're cool now. I've... stopped caring, I have bigger things to worry about now. Paulie Patooie: Honestly? I still don't like you all that much. I'm happy you recognized your shitty behavior, and I don't mind admitting that I wasn't entirely right in that situation either. Let's just leave each other be. - Friends and Acquaintances - You've earned me as a friend, one way or another. I'm right by your side if you need me.Ki'a: We need to reconnect sometime. Mary Proctor: Alright. You brought Him to justice. You were brought to justice yourself. If you survive what comes next... you'll have your second chance with me. As friends. Vittoria: I can't hate you - I kinda get why you're doing what you're doing. But you're... overly dramatic, and frankly, your approach is dumb. That said... legs, and, I genuinely think you're a good radio host who's trying to do something good for the galaxy. Sam: Remind me never to eat her cooking again if she makes it anything spicy at all. That was... painful. She didn't really know what a shifter was before that little conversation, which was interesting. Kind of a nice change of pace, having to explain what it is rather than the person being either disgusted or sorry for me. Mir Tahiti: So... dumb. So, so dumb. So annoying. Kinda... not a horrible person, though, you know? He's... fine, seems to have a better moral compass than I do, and he does mech fights. Sydney Rebecca Jones: She knew me before I became a shifter. She's one of the only ones. She had a photo of me, from before, and... wow. I've... changed. Tart: She made my pajamas, and Kaiko cares for her - I can't not like her. She's... also shorter than I am, which is... not normal. Cute. Lorette Fernsby: You scare the hell out of me, but - I think we're cool, right? Yeah. We're cool. Robin Flynn: I feel like we've patched things up a little, lately. I appreciate that. Thila Seem: You sure make a lot of not-so-smart decisions, don't you? Maybe if you hadn't panicked, Morgan wouldn't be as bad off as he is right now. Aaron Edward Vaughn: He's nice! We talk kinda regularly, and he's one of the people who's been helpful in understanding what I am and helping to cope with it. Raelyn/Vagrant: She's a trash goblin like me. Cute, and I feel like we understand each other in a way most people don't. I like her hair. Gulvar Frosthand: He's cool. Runs a kingdom, apparently? Good taste in fruits and fast food. Dunno if he just doesn't get what a shifter is or doesn't care. Either way's honestly fine by me. Alexander Nehuisa: I'm sick of being seen as a kid. - Best Friends - I would take a bullet for every one of you, and you've managed to make your place in my life in a way nobody else has managed. Thank you, for everything you do for me. I just hope I can return the favor one day.Cedric Kaya: He let me crash on his couch when I was at a bit of a recent low point. He's generally just been a... really good friend, over time, and I appreciate that. He knows. Kera'tiv: What a... weird thing. I think they were born a shifter. They... taught me how to be one, kinda. Answered some questions, took care of me in the early stages. Watched over me. They're also just... really nice, overall. They asked me for advice, recently, about coming clean about their species. I answered their questions, and... in the end, they decided not only to be open about their species, but their appearance. Their... strange, strange appearance. I'm almost... proud of them, for making that decision. Can't have been easy. I guess Azyriah's into them? Weird. I have a hard time thinking of them like that. Eh. To each their own, I guess, I just want Kera happy. Kaiko: He's doing better lately. We still don't talk often. Doctor Adela Jirill: You've helped me more than anyone, just by prompting me to vent. You gave me inspiration, when I wanted to change myself. You helped me join the deathless world I was stuck watching before, with the Ikeda shifter cloning program - as much as I know that wasn't just for me. You help me feel good about myself, just - just by your tone, your words. You say it's just... your obligation, just something you have to do as a doctor, but... I don't... really care why you're doing it. The answer was something I could never have expected. You've been helping me, over the past few weeks, and... I feel like we've gotten closer in that time. I don't know if you feel the same. It's... good, having a friend like you. I don't know what happened between you and Morgan, but I think it's pretty clear you forgive him for it - at least, you still care about him. Zarta Hodunk: You're... I dunno. Closest thing I have to a big sister, maybe. You're like me, but... better, kinda? I dunno. I look up to you. I've... told you that, before. I hope you work things out with Kaiko so both of you come out happy. I wanna tell her, but-- but I can't. I shouldn't, there's too many people who it'd put in danger, too much on the line. Maybe I'll talk to Adela or Morgan about it. Polyima: I miss talking to her regularly. Morgan Snip: You're... not doing so well, huh? I worry about you, even though I don't express it too well. I'm not... good, at dealing with situations like this where I can't help. Naru Sera'Maeor: I guess he's my roommate now? I mean - it's cool, I don't have a problem with it, but it did just kinda... happen. I dunno. I think it'll be cool, though. We'll see if he can put up with me. - Hmm. - Okay. We're the same age. I like you. You like me. Maybe we can make this work. Maybe I won't fuck up.Asel Park: He looks less tired lately. Cute. He's got some issues, but - I dunno. Shoulder to cry on is always good, so... eyes or not, that's what I'm trying to be to him. He's like flirting with a brick wall, but hey. It's a different kind of cute from him flirting back, you know? And I like how he gets when I give him compliments. I'm just hoping we can make this work. - Combat -Peaceful or violent: Extremely violent when cornered. Weapon (if applicable): Runs a small, concealed handgun. Startlingly strong, given her appearance. Also has a number of natural weapons - claws, teeth, venomous fangs... she's nastier than she first appears in a fight. Style of fighting: Run and hide. Engage only when necessary, and fight viciously and no-holds-barred when cornered. - Personal Life -Occupation: Gunsmith. Current home: None. Favorite types of food: Meat. Favorite types of drink: Water or anything sugary. Hobbies/past times: Machines. Pets: None. Talents: She's pretty effective with a firearm, if you want to consider that a talent. Favorite colors: Rust-orange. Purple, purple, purple. Bright yellow. Red. Gold. Black. Dark blue. Favorite type of music: Industrial, when she hears it. - Gallery - Spoiler: Credit to MaskedHero Spoiler: Credit to Pinkbat5
Updated! -Updated genetic library, added Aaron's contribution -Updated relationships tab to include short descriptions instead of the default ranking system
Updated again. -Updated genetic library, added Robin's contribution following a trade on Garlen -Updated relationships tab to include Polyima, Aaron and Paulie following requests being made -Updated gallery, added a crop of Pink's recent art of the various Shifters of Renaize (the only reason for this is Noel, deer god, Zarta and Kera do not need to be on Ry's sheet and Ry is not central to the piece)
Updated AGAIN. -Added 'Dee', updated Polyima, added Rose. -Added the latest piece of Ry art (and the first one to feature her tail!)
Wow, I've been really active with Ry lately, huh? That's another update. -Fresh new coat of paint. -Added Sam. -Changed some formatting. -Relationships are now color-coded to pick out shifters she's aware of, because that is a huge, significant thing in her mind.
Updated. Again. -Added category to relationships "Despised" because Ry can't hold a grudge against most people. These people aren't most people. -Added more detail on her starter genetics regarding what mutations she actually has. -Added header with art! -Updated descriptions for Robin, Mary, Paulie, Noel. -Added Matryoshka. -Minor tweaks.
I like the sheet itself still, but I feel like you've made a lot of the colors too saturated; a lot of them are harder to read now, like the dark purple used for most of the sheet, the blue used for Friends and the maroon used for Enemies. I'd change them, make the color palette a little paler and brighter so all the categories and relationships are easier on the eyes.
Says the man who uses a grey color that's a little harder to read than the default white for no reason?
Updated. -Reshuffled and rewrote some relationships to match her current feelings and mental state. -Minor, minor edits here and there, I believe.
