Poll: Traits!
Added 2022-09-10 17:03:39 +0000 UTCHey all! It's time for another poll (multiple choice)! I am going to be working on the Traits system a bunch for the next update, as I'd like them to start having more of an effect on how Kiera interacts with the world around her. So I'll use this poll to determine which traits to focus on!
Come to think of it, I don't believe I've ever gone over the specific ideas behind each trait. Perhaps the names are explanatory enough, but here's a run down if it helps you make your pick(s)!
FRIENDLY: Kiera is nicer and less fussy towards NPCs! Some NPCs will treat her more nicely in return.. maybe even letting her play with them! Picking between Friendly and Bratty at the start of the game will lead to lots of variable interactions, as NPCs respond to her differently.
BRATTY: Kiera is a brat!! She doesn't play so well with others, likes to tease other kids (especially if she's bigger than them), and insists on getting things her way. Of course, others will often tease her right back... and a lot of the time it's hard to get things your way when you're a Little- especially if you're not potty trained yet!
BRAVE: Kiera is a bold adventurer! She's ready to take on anything- be it fighting slimes, slaying dragons, or going down the slide all by herself! This trait will help her keep her cool when confronted with spooky situations... though it may end up looking a bit silly when such a brave explorer is still in diapers!
SCAREDY-CAT: Kiera gets scared easily! This trait will make her nervous about doing spooky stuff, like going into a dark room or standing up to a bully. If her potty training starts to regress, or if she really has to go, the li'l scaredy-kitten might start having accidents when scared or surprised.. even by the silliest situations!
CONFIDENT: Kiera is ready to take on the world!! She will confidently face any challenge, and be quick to boast about her abilities... often far beyond what they actually are! The difference between this and Brave is that Kiera is simply CONFIDENT that she can face a challenge, rather than actually being able to face it. So there will be some fun interactions where, for example, Kiera is Confident that she can ride down the slide all by herself, only to realize she's a Scaredy-Cat once she's climbed up, and is then too scared to climb down! Being Confident may also be detrimental to getting to the potty on time, if her potty training isn't as advanced as she thinks.
CRYBABY: Kiera is easily upset! Getting teased, getting scared, having an accident, losing at hide and seek.. she's prone to burst into tears over pretty much anything! She won't necessarily bawl her eyes out all the time, but is certainly quick to pout and get teary-eyed over things that would seem silly to most.. Which naturally leads to lots of pacifiers being pushed into her mouth!
FOCUSED: If Kiera is into a task, she is INTO it! Focused helps her stay on track with her plans- though this could backfire, as there are other things you want to remember when you're busy playing at daycare..
DISTRACTED- Kiera has a hard time staying on task! She will often walk into a room, see something shiny, and immediately forget what she was doing.. even if it was something *REALLY* important, like- uhm... wait, what was I talking about?
BIG GIRL- Kiera is NOT interested in being a baby, and will protest any mention of having to wear pull-ups or diapers! She gets embarrassed and fussy when people treat her like a baby- insisting instead on being treated like the big girl she clearly is!
ABDL- Kiera likes being treated like a baby! As she becomes accustomed to life at daycare, she starts to realize that being in diapers, sucking on pacis, and having accidents is kinda.. fun! She likes to show NPCs how cute and Little she is, happy to give them little peeks- or full-blown looks- at her diapers, and doesn't really mind too much if she completely fails at potty training.
So.. there's a basic synopsis! There will be some combinations of traits that will work in tandem with one another, too. For example, a Bratty Crybaby Kiera may end up being quite the Tattletale around the daycare.. getting a reputation for hiding behind the legs of an Amazon, sticking her tongue out at the other Littles after crying to get them in trouble (..even if she was the one who started it)!
We did have a poll about this alllll the way back in February. Here are the results of that one if you're interested:
