Patron-Decided Romance - What Species?
Added 2018-08-19 16:42:17 +0000 UTC
UPDATE- Species Poll is live!
https://www.patreon.com/posts/patron-decided-21006324
Now that the new Animation Update is live, it's time to get the ball rolling on the Patron-Decided Romance option that -you- guys made possible!
Here's the plan: In between regular game news & updates, we're going to make a series of posts over the next couple of months asking you for ideas about species, romance type, occupation, TF themes, etc. We'll take the ones that will work with the story and hold a poll for each category. Then once we know which ideas you guys like the most, our team will come up with three or four character concepts that draw from those leading responses. You get to decide which one will be a romance option in the story!
So let's get started! What kind of species should the new romance be, or turn into?
- We need a species that is not currently represented in the game (MINOR SPOILERS: something other than Cow, Wolf, Sea Serpent, Rabbit, Horse, Goat, Cat, Deer, Owlbear)
- It should also be a plausible species for Scotland. That can include mythical creatures!
Write your ideas in the comments below! Comments and questions are welcome here (or in the Discord), too!
I believe it is called an Enfield, correctly

i like the idea of a trader coming to town but i think a fox should be in there. they are clever, intelligent, and cunning. that fits a fox to the T.
2018-08-23 21:29:11 +0000 UTC
I'd really like to see more barnyard animals! So chicken, pig or sheep get my vote!

If you are looking for diversity, you can go with a Northern Crested Newt or a Bilberry Bumblebee. A newt can be a good compromise for those who want to see a dragon; Moreover, you could add a twist where everyone mistake the character as a dragon.

Dragon dragon dragon. Or gryphon. Either are great. Should fly either way
2018-08-22 04:16:51 +0000 UTC
Nobody going for a Selkie? As a different kind of shapeshifter / traveler they can be a new source of information, tricks, and conflict. If I was to vote for a bird, I'd probably go for an owl.
I always figured a dragon would have a tough time that far north. Too cold.
Wheelwright Pony
2018-08-22 02:50:28 +0000 UTC
Absolutely seconding (thirding, fourthing?) the cause of a bird. Golden Eagle seems a bit too obvious with it being the national bird and all... uh... Scottish Crossbills maybe... or Rook (albeit, I dunno how exciting crows are for some people)... Kingfisher are pretty ones... and I guess Owls are always pretty solid visually/thematically. Well, depending on your existing theme; they've got cultural baggage. The Merlin's kind of adorably small for a falcon if you wanted someone with a built in complex maybe.

Mimicking a lot of what I see here, but:
Bat, Pig, Bird, or Unicorn all feel great
Otherwise a dragon works too ;)
Drek the Bat
2018-08-21 21:24:54 +0000 UTC
A flying one for sure for variety. Golden Eagles are big, beautiful birds, and native to northern Scotland. You also have Osprey's that live there as well. I'd be okay with Dragon with so many legends around them as well.
Sean Parker
2018-08-21 18:43:26 +0000 UTC
Wyvern's are just Dragons that left 2 of their legs at home!
Zod
2018-08-21 17:13:43 +0000 UTC
I'd say griffin or some kind of bird, since they fit the theme and aren't already represented at least to some degree. A unicorn would be neat, but would be stepping on Hazel's hooves. I like foxes, but we've already got a wolf. Kind of meh on dragons just because they're so overdone.

2018-08-21 15:10:01 +0000 UTC
I vote a dragon, though most would just leave it at that I would suggest an eastern dragon with the option to romance a woman from out of town, though she thinks her change is actually a blessing, if the eastern dragon doesn't work then a western dragon could work and they can be a princess that usually hides from her father so they won't mistake her for a monster.
luigidragon54
2018-08-21 08:47:37 +0000 UTC
Fox or Cù-Sith
2018-08-21 08:10:59 +0000 UTC
Since the responses have been so numerous and varied I'd like to suggest that the dev's pick out the top five most popular choices and have a second round of voting on them.
Shorewood
2018-08-21 07:10:53 +0000 UTC
I second both the unicorn and dragon ideas.
2018-08-21 02:22:56 +0000 UTC
Dragons are overrated. How about a Wyvern?

Cu Sith (Dog)
bear
fox
Unicorn

During the Ice Age, there was a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Ice_Age_leopard" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">species of leopard</a> similar to the Asian snow leopard that lived in the British Isles, which are now extinct. How about one of those?

Red squirrel would make the most sense. Badger would be another good option, but yeah, Red Squirrel for #1.

A bat

I've heard that, too, but it sounds like a load of crock.
H
2018-08-20 01:54:03 +0000 UTC
Well, their seems to be a huge push for Dragons. you could also have Selkis and Kelpies, though that might conflict with Grace and Hazel. Scotland also has a Badger population, and Wild Boars I think. just throwing some out there I havn't seen in the comments yet.
Reginald Trout

I would vote for squirrel cause super cute or a stag to seduce a tg'd player as I think that the beautiful devs have chosen that for the players species.
Shorewood
2018-08-20 00:43:31 +0000 UTC
For real animals There is the Scottish Wildcat , otter or red squirrel.
Liane Rabbitfangs
2018-08-20 00:20:30 +0000 UTC
How about either a brownie (faerie) or a Ciuthach (A cave dwelling spirit localised to the Highlands.) for mythical creatures.
Liane Rabbitfangs
2018-08-20 00:19:18 +0000 UTC
Polecat! Would say Skunk but those aren't native to Scotland.
Thed Preston
2018-08-19 23:58:04 +0000 UTC
Either a (purple) dragon or a (silver) fox.
Some Foxy

Lol right!

Skunk!
Werenimal

My vote would be for a bird of some kind maybe an owl of sorts.
Austin Judes
2018-08-19 23:27:36 +0000 UTC
I'll go ahead and suggest four: Pig or Chicken, for the whole farming countryside theme, an Adder snake...for a bit of danger and because dragon is the only reptile I see here, (Sad really), and finally....to go out on a limb.....How about a Dryad? Could go the full tree route too.
Russell Thorne

Eric Strause

Fairies too!
Shadow
2018-08-19 22:18:36 +0000 UTC
A Dragon or a Fox. There are stories of them shapeshifting in most eastern cultures, so it's not a far fetched for either of them. Enfield and elves too. Or an actual changeling.
Also, called it on Hazel being a shifter. Horse proves it.

Prefer either dragon or unicorn with an owl or squirrel being close second

AuroraWolf130513
2018-08-19 21:37:56 +0000 UTC
Hen would be nice. As would a Fox. A Dragon might be to close to your Sea Serpent, but I would like to see that as well.

2018-08-19 21:37:13 +0000 UTC
How about one of the native bat species, like a brown long-eared bat, or a Leisler's bat?

The European pine marten is pretty common in northwestern Scotland

Volixsis
2018-08-19 20:26:19 +0000 UTC
It's pretty cliche, but surely there must be fox characters in Scottish folklore.
Also I second the otter suggestions. An otter character could be very cute.
Edward Dubois
2018-08-19 20:24:33 +0000 UTC
A unicorn! Can’t have the game set in Scotland and not have Scotland’s national animal
siobhan
2018-08-19 19:56:25 +0000 UTC
Red Squirrel would be cute and the selkie, a seal-changeling, might fit with the theme. Beavers, too.
Some kind of bird like a puffin would stand out from all the others already in the game.
Tiggs~~
2018-08-19 19:54:30 +0000 UTC
An otter?
Lord Lorac
2018-08-19 19:53:42 +0000 UTC
Dragon girl. Absolutely hands down.
Darkwalker
2018-08-19 19:51:45 +0000 UTC
My thoughts move toward either soft and fluffy pawed mammal or super adorable that aren't quite so much like the other ones already in game. So maybe ones like a skunk, mouse, otter, squirrel, ferret or bear, *maybe too close to owlbear?* or exotic like a tanuki, they are master shape shifters after all! . While I like fox, I think it's too close to wolf, and dragon is cool but a lot like sea serpent.
Guardianslade
2018-08-19 19:44:10 +0000 UTC
I would say Bat would be great but I'd also be into an Otter or a Squirrel.

2018-08-19 19:16:11 +0000 UTC
Moose girl? or maybe some type of bird (too bad harpy's aren't lore friendly)
2018-08-19 19:10:16 +0000 UTC
a Jaybird. Or if it needs to be more native to Scotland a cute puffin. :D
Sunblaze
2018-08-19 19:05:51 +0000 UTC
I want to see an avian interest like suggested earlier by H or an harpy like Scott suggested

Though generic my vote would be on Foxes! I did research this...slightly...and there are notes of Celtic myths regarding foxes as shapeshifters and as guides who know the trees (nature) well. I know the most common theme people have with foxes are based off their cunning and trickster nature...but maybe there can be a fox character that tries to go against stereotype. Just spitballing ideas I suppose :-P

2018-08-19 18:18:06 +0000 UTC
Griffin, Gargoyle, Goblin, Gremlin, or Dragon would work for me! :D

The thing about a vampire is that it can still be any other base race... unicorn vampire? technically possible... if anyone could pull it off correctly, I bet it would be Little Napoleon

I'm sympathetic to Tharkis' call for unicorns (very Scottish) and dragons (mildly Scottish), as well as NovaMoose's for otters (more Irish, but still hella cute); however, I most relate to Saradi's call for things that fly. How about a gryphon or something like a great spotted woodpecker?

I would suggest otter. They are native to Scotland and are pretty unique compared to the other species in the story.

Some kind of big bird would be cool, like a swan or a hunting bird. Not to many good bird TF's out there.
