Fur Farm Info Dump

[Stan]

Fur farm folks! The following is a summarization of what was worked out here.

Random's foxes are: Starke, Pi, Rwundi, Gabe, Luce, and Mercurious.
Mine are: Ing, Raphael, Kriemhild, and Timoti.
Red’s are: Quen, Liaori, Niko, Das, Tixa, Druso, and Mylo.
Breeze’s are: Gaia, Murat, Aisling, Simin, and Farid.

Very briefly and as far as I know, the characters are grouping together thus:
Starke & Ing
Rwundi & Gaia
Gabe & Raphael
Quen & Kriemhild
Liaroi & Aisling
Murat & Timoti
Niko & Luce and Mercurious
Minks are all sticking together.

Character summaries by their players:
Random Wiktor's:
Poe the Crow - Poe is going to head on over to the thread with Strulo and the Quakers. He'll probably stay in the 'burbs, since there's like... 0 population there right now.
Soo Dae - I think I had something planned for her involving one of the packs, maybe the feral dog pack at GF? I think me and Red dicussed her somehow coming into the plot with Mutt's ex-girlfriend, the fighting pits, etc., like maybe they both join the dog pack, and Mutt then has the conflict of Shamus, who started the pack, his previous love, and SooDae, who is an extremely dominant, overbearing, alpha-bitch type.
Luce and Mercurius - These two are mates, and are very tame compared to some of the others. Because of this, they'll probably be staying at FC. They're pretty social, if not terribly quirky, so if anyone wants to hang around them, feel free. They could use some cranky, survival-savvy type to snap them out of their cornball happiness, anyways.
Starke might head for the 'burbs. She's a little too insane at this point to take care of herself out in the wild, so I reckon she'll become some crazed trash-can scavenger. Ultimately, I do want her to recover from her delerium, whereupon she may reach GF or at least the Countryside yet. A good friend or mate might help her reach that goal, if anyone's looking.
Gabe will be going to GF. He's a bit "wild" compared to my other characters. Gabe could really use a friend right now, because he's going to be very depressed after the liberation since he had always dreamed of being free with his mate, and feels guilty to be alive and achieving their dream without her.
Rwundi will also be going to GF to live wild. I don't have many plans for her, though I think she needs to be shown how to have fun again; she's only a year old, dangit!
Pi is likely staying in the countryside. I sortof envision him becoming some really smooth hunter-type that sneaks into chicken coops and dedicates his life to making humans super miserable out of some petty, childish revenge for the whole 'fur farm' thing.
As for my minks? Nooo idea. I'll follow the other minks wherever they go, I guess.

Breeze:
Simin will most likely be staying in FC, as she is deaf, pretty much mute, and totally nuts. She wouldn't do especially well in the wild, I think, so she'll probably stay in the Suburbs and maybe the Countryside later on, if she becomes a little less crazy.

Gaia, once away from all the crazy foxes, would probably do pretty well in the wild, and so I'd like to transfer her to GF at some point. She'll probably recover in the Countryside first, though, away from all humans and preferably other foxes.

Farid is insane at this point and a severe danger to any animal that gets near him. However, even so, he has proven that he can hunt and everything; he's just batty. Thus, he'll probably end up in the Countryside to get away from everything, probably travelling to GF once he calms down and simply becomes utterly antisocial.

I don't know where Murat will end up, but he could really use a friend/mate. After being with Farid he's terrified and will probably end up starving to death from jumping at his own shadow all the time if he doesn't have someone to distract him. A really patient friend, mate, even "child" could help him focus all his instincts onto something so his irrational fear doesn't stop him. Being so skittish, he probably wouldn't do well in the "true" wild and will stick to the suburbs and such.

Aisling hates males, but beyond that, she is a very rational female who could probably go to GF and live just fine. Her instincts will probably override any hatred she has with time, and a friend could probably help her overcome this irrational hatred and fear she has for males and mating.

Red:
--Das - Dominant male - Half-blind
He was one of the first ones to escape and run away like a maniac, so he could either end up travelling with foxes who follow him, or just soloing it to freedom. Could either be FC or GF bound. He's a very independent male, but is an alright guy if not crowded or provoked, and his instincts are still strong. Has the capacity to be suddenly and viciously violent, though. At this point, he doesn't have the capacity to be patient or actually care for another creature, but he can be a travelling companion if need be, until something causes them to separate.

--Quen - Submissive male - Three-legged
Quen had much difficulty escaping, due to one gnawed-off foreleg and a generally weak state of being. Was run into by Farid, but we don't know how that turned out. Is feminine and jumpy, but extremely intelligent...which is why his bored mind has caused him to be super-compulsive. Would be good travelling with someone, because his instincts suck and his missing leg is still an open wound. Could be going to GF or staying in FC.

--Liaori - Dominant female - Screwed-up mother complex
Was delayed in escaping, so could be with anyone. Ran into Pi, but we don't know how that turned out. She generally hates males, but has a really whacked maternal instinct thing where she desperately wants to have a mate and offspring...but she's violent and agitated and has a raging fear of babies. So, she'll make a pain-in-the-ass-but-interesting travelling companion, as long as there are no puppies around (Niko especially). Aisling might be interesting with her at some point in time. They'll either hate each other or get along really well...or both. :\

--Niko - Male puppy - Co-dependant-ish
Definitely needs to be hooked up with at least one other fox because he's dead meat otherwise. Murat stopped to try and calm him down at the edge of the farm but, again, we don't know how that went. Aside from needing a guide just to keep him alive, he needs someone to latch onto as a parent figure...whether they like it or not. That's just how he is. Clingy and naive. Really is a sweet pup, and has the potential to grow up ok, but needs help.

--Tixa - Submissive female - Blind
Both creepy little Tixa and Druso latched onto the path of some slower fox as they escaped, and I think it would be nice if that fox was an actual character. Because while it's entirely possible that they just kind of go and travel with each other, that's no fun and they probably won't survive that way. I'd really like to explore and develop Tixa and Druso's characters, and eventually maybe even split them up-- at least for a little while. They kind of serve as eerie crutches for what the other lacks, and developing--and then ruining--that is always fun.

--Druso - Submissive male - Dissociative and mute
Escaped with Tixa and could really use someone to help guide them. See Tixa above. *points*

--Mylo - Submissive juvenile male - Very phobic
Again, could really use the help of another creature. He hates being alone. He's young and really tries to be friendly and helpful, but has problems with terrifying phobias and general bouts of paranoia. It's very open as to where he's eventually headed, or what his future holds. Really misses the young female whose death and then decay caused a good chunk of his phobias. Has potential to survive successfully, but needs some help in the meantime.
Is afraid of: Being alone, rain and wetness, small swarming insects like fleas and maggots.

--Hrissit - Submissive male mink- Deaf and half-blind
Terribly weak and skittish, he's going to need some help if he's going to survive long enough to be interesting. I'm not against having him die eventually...because he's really in awful shape...but I'd like to get some play out of him before that has the possibilty of coming up. Followed the other mink out of the farm, and will dumbly follow any that don't attack him or run him off. He is really a horrible sight, with his head all chomped on and everything, so will need some good-hearted soul to put up with him. Yeah...

Stan:
Ing
Male Fox
Ing is totally going to have personal space issues- he's super-territorial, and doesn't like having foxes too close to 'his dirt'. Basically could hook up with any other fox, although I'm thinkin' he's yet another gay character, so mate plotlines with female foxes are out. Actually would like to see him living with Starke for a while- I could just see her eventually being like 'mate?' and him responding with something along the lines of 'whatomgno!' Since he's a tame little fellow, he'll probably end up in the suburbs trash-can diving.
Timoti
Male Fox
Mostly normal, and supposed to be Raph's mate. I'm thinking I'll break these two up, though, and have each thinking that the other died. That way, both could hook up with other foxes, but then later on meet and freak out. Because I like tearing apart perfectly happy relationships. Basically any fox could be matched up with him, but I'm thinking it would make sense to have one of the less survivable guys find him, since he's stable and would give them more of a shot at making it.
Raphael
Female Fox
A bit on the loony side. She's fairly chipper temper-wise, she rambles and giggles a lot and she has a bit of trouble communicating with other foxes. Despite her creepiness, Raph might actually make a good substitute mother/companion for Niko or Mylo, as she doesn't have any of the problems with puppies that some of the other females do, and is very affectionate. Again, I'm all for breaking Tim and Raph apart.
Kriemhild
Female Fox
Kriemhild has some serious personality issues going. One moment, she's quiet and skittish, the next she's aggressive and loud, then the next she's crying and depressed. Inclined towards random bouts of violence. Despite this, she's in okay condition and can hunt fairly well. So, any character able to stand her insanity- or is desperate enough to survive to ignore it- could probably hook up with her.
Gethsemane
Female Mink
She's unusually friendly, thanks to her constant escort of hallucinatory skinless mink buddies, which basically make her ignore her instinct to be solitary (like... with all these schmucks floating around, I might as well accept some less creepy company). All of her crazy is channeled into her hallucinations, so she's calm and amiable enough- she might be a good mink for Hrissit to hang on to. She'll probably think he's just another hallucination, so she won't try to run him off.

[Redpyre]

Wow, am I glad you posted this. I was kind of floundering, trying to figure out how to summarize it all in my head.

As I'm looking at it, I was wondering if anyone else had foxes that they would like to team up with others.

Das can make it on his own, so he's fine going solo.

Druso and Tixa on the other hand, and Mylo, I would really like to stick with someone else. I prefer this over throwing them out into the wilderness and hoping they make friends, unless someone has some very outgoing and understanding characters that might interact well with them.

Let me know if anyone has thoughts on this.

[Stan]

I think it would be kind of hilarious if Mylo were to end up in a group with Timoti and Murat; Murat and Mylo could bond over their mutual skittish neuroticism, while Timoti is patient and nurturing enough that he wouldn't mind their company. Murat is Breeze's, though, and she might have reason to nix the idea.

Am I right in thinking Druso and Tixa are young? If so, my first thought was that if they were to run into Starke and Ing, it'd make a strange, mixed-up parallel to a normal fox family, with platonic "mates" and unrelated "offspring". Not sure how Starke would deal with puppies, though?

More generally, does anyone mind the idea of ripping a small hole in the space-time continuum and, when we get around to RPing the minks, doing so as if it's the same night as the escape? I can't imagine they'd randomly find each other seven months afterwards and decide to travel together across the countryside.

[Breeze]

I'm perfectly find with Murat and Mylo meeting up, and with Timoti joining the club; as I recall, Murat was supposed to get a companion from one of Red's foxes anyway, so Mylo works. Could Niko possibly join that group as well, though? I can't really see Murat abandoning the puppy... He'd probably have nightmares about it. Or is Niko going with someone else?

Red, Aisling and Laori sounds like potential, particularly if a puppy strayed in their path at some point. Are you still up for it?

I think approaching Farid at the moment would be danger, ha. But later, once he gets over himself, interaction with anyone would be interesting.

Simin can join anyone hanging out in the suburbs/trash cans; she's kind of nuts so it should be fun.

Aaaand Gaia, being fairly normal, can go with anyone who really needs a sane companion. She can stay with Rwundi, perhaps?

[Redpyre]

From the look of the little summary, Niko is going with Luce and Mercurious or something? And yeah, Aisling and Liaori are already on the list together. I *really* like that matchup. I think they will be very interesting together.

Tixa and Druso aren't puppies, but they are fairly helpless, with her being blind and him being mute. So. They're almost like puppies? Sort of?

The idea of Murat/Timoti/Mylo makes me giggle. I like it. xD

As for the mink, yeah. I definitely vote for playing them the night of...since I don't know how long Hrissit is going to make it, lol.

[Breeze]

I saw the current Niko plot but I had no clue what to make of the summary, ha. Particularly since I apparently missed my own characters in it xP Yay for Aisling and Liaori. Any way you want them to find each other? Aisling headed out on her own, but she could totally trip over something and be delayed, LOL.

[Redpyre]

Lemme look over the last few posts of the thread then...because I don't remember what she was doing at the end there.

[Breeze]

Haha, no worries, I looked over the thread myself today; I couldn't remember any of my characters' personalities, hence why I called Gaia sane when she clearly isn't in the thread. >.>

[Redpyre]

Ok, read up on the thread. There was some good stuff in there, man. xD

So here's what I'm understanding so far, as far as my characters go.

Das -- Running off on his own, unless someone has a fox that was one of the first into the forest, and follows him.

Quen -- Was whining and terrified, latched onto Kriemhild as they were escaping...because otherwise he'd never get out on his own. As long as she was going slow enough for him to follow, it will work.

Liaori -- Got herself lost amongst the cages when she ran from the breeding pens, was desperately yelling for someone to show her how to get out. If she recognized Aisling and saw her escaping, she would follow her out...though she would probably end up trying to take over and lead at some point, heh.

Niko -- Would need to be picked up by Luce or Mercurious (if that's who he's going with) because he was just sitting in the grass, crying.

Tixa and Druso -- Latched onto another fox who was traveling on the slow side, would really like that to be an actual character, and not some nameless NPC. They really need help surviving, at least at first. Any thoughts on who this could be?

Mylo -- Was actually making pretty decent headway in escaping, so could either end up hooking up with Timoti/Murat a little ways outside the farm, or they could be following him, or something.

Hrissit -- Pathetically following the other mink. x__x

[the Stan]

Having Murat, Mylo, and Timoti meet up some ways outside the farm sounds good to me, since that would allow enough time for Timoti to be separated from his mate.

Quen following Kriemhild out of the farm works for me, as well.

Since Starke and Ing were supposed to meet at some nebulous point in the future, I think it'd be fine for the fox Tixa and Druso latched onto to be him; it should be interesting, although he's far from the perfect individual to help. He should be able to keep them alive, anyway.

(And an off-topic note: I'll be around until I collapse into sleep tonight, but I'm ill and on cold medicine. "Slow" does not quite describe my lack of mental acuity at the moment, heh.)
