Nekumbra's trusted and enemies list (want your deer added?)

quadraptor's picture
So I wanted to make a list of deer to refer to when playing Nekumbra. Well, two lists really - deer she can trust to be around and deer who are sworn enemies of hers. A few notes on this:

The deer she trusts do not in any way have to agree with her methods. Woden, for example, wants to help her find alternative foods to eat than fawns. She may still feel very cautious around these deer but will feel comfortable enough to approach and interact.

The "Potential Trusted List" are deer who want to meet Nekumbra sometime.

As far as enemies, it simply would be a deer who hates her, refuses to let her anywhere near them or their family, and would chase her away. I especially need these so I know who would be dead set on running her off, but I will ask if you would please not "RD" me when you do so (chase me seemingly nonstop across the Forest. Nek will find places to hide such as the playground, blue bowl, and ruins, so please when she is in hiding leave her alone). For example, I would assume Kaoori and Wesker would be added to her enemies list as they have a fawn that Nek has had her eyes on.

Also please note that Nekumbra will most likely run and not fight, as she is afraid of deer with big antlers. She may defend herself against mini deer and deer with certain antlers (doe nubs, butterfly antlers, peacock antlers, ect) but even so she still may flee. She can get severely hurt but I cannot let her get killed since I've already written her ending story.

So anyway please let me know so I can make her list. If you wouldn't mind, please give me a reason for her adding your deer to either list. It can be as simple as "I find her interesting" or "I don't like deer who eat fawns.", or it can be much more complex.

There is a new list available, and it's your choice whether you'd like your deer added to it or not.

The "Defenders" list is for deer who trust Nekumbra enough to protect her when Iugulare and Anirapio come to attack and kill her for disobeying them. Nekumbra was given three days by Iugulare to eat fawns like before, but she has chosen to defy them and has asked for your deer's help protecting her.

--------------------------------------

Nekumbra in a nutshell:



She was a normal doe in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Iugulare landed on Earth after traveling through space, Nekumbra was close by and was exposed to cosmic radiation. Her body mutated into the creature you know her as today - she grew eight spider legs on her body, a silk gland, and venomous fangs as well. Her diet also changed from a herbivore to a carnivore, and she has insatiable cravings for fawns, and as they are very easy to pick off, they became her target.

When she attacks, she quickly grabs the fawn in her mouth and runs off. Her venom is injected, and after a few moments, the fawn will drift to sleep, never to wake up. Nek sometimes wraps them with her spider silk if they continue to struggle. During those last moments of their life, she comforts them, holding them close to her body and humming a lullaby or telling them a bedtime story. When they are finally dead, depending on her hunger, she will either eat them whole or drink their blood.

She truly wants to be a normal doe again, but she has a terrible fear for the bigger, stronger deer who chase her away. She cannot help her urges, and though she feels terrible for the wrong she is doing, her cravings get the best of her. Nekumbra was taken up with Iugulare and now does her bidding, though she one day plans to ask Quad or the Twin Gods for help.

Well, since Marik wasn't

Well, since Marik wasn't around during the whole "trying to eat Ishi" episode he has no idea that ever happened (ICly anyway |D) So he can stay on the trusted list...at least for now XD I'm getting the impression he's still curious, though it's likely that will change if she tries to eat Ishi again. (In other words, Marik = highly bipolar :B)
I think I'll go ahead and say that you can add Cloud to the enemies list. Fawns are still a major soft spot for him and he'll likely go nuts if he spots her trying to eat one :B

She won't make a habit of

She won't make a habit of trying to target and eat Ishi in particular, she just cannot help it when she sees someone as a bunny or a crow, ect. She may playfully mention that they look delicious to her, but depending on if she's hungry at the time or not is whether she will really try to eat them. In last night's case, she had already eaten six fawns so she was pretty full.

Gonna keep tabs on this.~ You

You know the reasons for Crucio and Flammel's respective placements already. <3

Woden would truly like to

Woden would truly like to help Nekumbra so he would be happy to hang around the spider doe...this will also give him opportunity to protect any fawns if need be. Eye
quadraptor's picture

While in the end she does end

While in the end she does end up going to see Quad (who truly does help her become as close to 'normal' as she can by taking her to the Twin Gods), she needs a lot of convincing, so she does seem to enjoy Woden's company even if she is still very cautious around him. It's nothing to do with his appearance (I know sometimes people judge other characters based on whether they have a skull on, big antlers, ect.) but rather she is instinctive - if someone is running toward her like Woden did the other day, she'd rather run than see whether they're coming to greet her or coming to jab their antlers into her. She doesn't want to take the risk of being hurt.

((I hope I didn't upset you for Nek running in the first place, either. I really didn't know you were trying to be friendly around her, I assumed you really were trying to drive her away))

Ryou and Bakura are fine on

Ryou and Bakura are fine on the trusted list, with a few added notes: Bakura will chase her away from Ryou, Ishizu, and Marik if necessary. Ryou's just unsure of her right now. He doesn't mind her as long as she doesn't go after his friends. Um... Ryou's reactions will probably vary more than Bakura's, so if you have any questions feel free to ask. I'm fine with whatever. I also try to note in my update blog when he's more uneasy than usual.

As for any of my other deer... (Sakina and Hiroshi being exceptions since they're only half mine) Curel would probably be the only enemy, simply because she's a rabbit. I can't see Namine caring either way. Kiki wouldn't care, and neither would Enrique.

If somebody runs, Woden will

If somebody runs, Woden will chase them. It’s all a game to him. He chased a little deer with peacock antlers all over the place yesterday, thought it was great fun. But the other deer got mad. Woden just wanted to play! (Plus the map was not working for me, so I had no idea who most characters where, unless I’d met them previously…or like you, came to Woden’s bio and introduced yourself!) Eye

Dunno who it was but someone

Dunno who it was but someone just chased Nekumbra away from having another fawn meal. If that was you near the Pond and Twin Gods, let me know and I'll add you to her enemies list.

If it wasn't and you still want to be added to either list, tell me Eye

Edit - Ah I believe it was Leviathann

>> Levi just chased Nekumbra

>>

Levi just chased Nekumbra off... She was around the twin gods, sort of. xD

I hope to have Un/me meet her

I hope to have Un/me meet her someday. Hopefully as a friend and not a foe.
You don't have to add her just yet since they haven't met yet, just throwing it out there ♥
quadraptor's picture

Added Levi to the enemies

Added Levi to the enemies list as well as Un to the "potential trusted list"

Also does anyone know who Ishibaba is? They keep chasing Nek and rearing, so they apparently know she's up to no good.
Uruushou's picture

Ishibaba is an alternate

Ishibaba is an alternate character of mine; I explained his deal briefly in Nekumbra's bio. c: He is not very violent as he is old and sees no sense in it, but if he sees Nek approaching a fawn and he is neaby, you will bet your antlers he'll bumble his way over and scowl her to death. 8P

My other characters, Uruu and Liam, are interested in Nekumbra even though they're aware of what's going on. I suppose you could say they're naive, or much more sympathetic than ol' Baba. c:
quadraptor's picture

I really liked how Ishibaba

I really liked how Ishibaba and Nekumbra evolved in their relationship today. It was really interesting how it played out, and also it was one of the first roleplays I've ever done with her. I had a lot of fun with you guys, thanks XD
Uruushou's picture

I liked it as well; it was

I liked it as well; it was certainly interesting! This was one of my first RPs with Baba, also XD I had fun, too, and you're welcome! ^_^

quadraptor's picture

Mhmm... XD Also Nek is in

Mhmm... XD

Also Nek is in the Forest today but i was working on something so she didn't really interact. I saw a few people came over and sat with her - if you were sitting with her to try to interact and be friendly, or if you came over to watch her to make sure she didn't eat any fawns, please tell me and I'll add your deer to the respective list they need to be on XD
Uruushou's picture

Ah, no worries! I was

Ah, no worries! I was actually working on something also, so Liam slept for three hours straight. c: Unfortunately, he didn't run into her, but he still is unaware of her true nature. He has met her once, but she did not eat a fawn while he was there. So, he'd undoubtedly be interested in her, but if he saw her eating a fawn...oh dear, the poor guy will have a panic attack. XD

You can put Uruu and Liam under "semi-trusted" if you'd like, at least for now. c:
quadraptor's picture

Got them added, as well as

Got them added, as well as Illrose. Jack and Illrose may be moved to her 'trusted' list real soon.

I plan to throw her in again tonight, though not right this moment Eye

Hmmm, My doe Nane (mini

Hmmm, My doe Nane (mini spell, gazelle pelt) is intrigued <3
At first she wanted to just keep that fawn away from her... but then, Nekumbra seemed so scared and sad so she tried to approach, it seemed then Nekumbra was quite reluctant for that. Although Nane would get inbetween her and a fawn, she wants to learn more about her, and find out if there's anyway she can be helped? I don't know were you'd put her lol.
quadraptor's picture

Sorry she's kind of in a

Sorry she's kind of in a weird position right now. Woden is trying to help her find alternate sources of protein, so at the moment she is not hunting fawns, but she gets very, very tempted when they approach. She saw your doe approach and thought she was trying to drive her away, she didn't realize Nane was just trying to be friendly.

She tried to approach and say hello after a while but Nane ran off. I'll put her in Nek's semi-trusted list Eye
uwharrie's picture

lol yeah, Nane wasn't sure

lol yeah, Nane wasn't sure when she came up to sniff her... Nekumbra seemed hesitant so Nane figured she wouldn't push her luck and just end it at that : )

thank you, I'm interested to see where this character goes
quadraptor's picture

I did want to note that none

I did want to note that none of these are set in stone, so if your deer is on her 'trusted' list and you've decided they don't want to be anywhere near her, I can put them on the 'semi-trusted' or even 'enemies' list for you, just tell me.

And vice versa, if you have a deer who hated Nek but now is okay with her for whatever reason, I can switch them over from an 'enemy' to 'semi-trusted' or 'trusted' if she is comfortable enough with them.
Kirness's picture

Oh hey. Trival's on her

Oh hey. Trival's on her trusted list. LOL
Might be a bad idea, crazy things happen when deer trust him. Especially if they trust him to cast magic. Then again, he healed someone today without outwardly harming them. 8D!

Ahwell. He thinks Nek's trippy looking at the very least.~
Please call me Lyssa or Kir. n.n

quadraptor's picture

Yeah...I didn't know what he

Yeah...I didn't know what he thought of Nek, but when he was being random and silly I think she lightened up around him. (Although those first few moments I was expecting you to rear up or try to bite her, but that's just because of my misconceptions of skull-masked deer. Obviously not all of them are aggressive since Woden and Quamar aren't)

Anyway, that may change, that may stay the same, I don't know yet XD. I might throw him under the semi-trusted list instead since they've only met briefly.

^ Keyword "outwardly"

^ Keyword "outwardly" ....................

Got kinda ugly with Nek and Flammel there for a while. xD
Nane kept trying to get Flammel to give Nek a chance, but.. eh.
I think he's just a tad bit too scarred from watching her eat his own species alive. o______o
quadraptor's picture

Quite frankly, I don't blame

Quite frankly, I don't blame him. I would be skeptical myself if one day I saw someone do something terrible and the next day someone I cared about was hanging out with them. It's completely understandable Eye
Xemi's picture

Plus, y'know.. Nane's about

Plus, y'know.. Nane's about the size of a fawn. LOL.
When Nek nuzzled Nane I wasn't sure what she was doing since.. y'know? Nuzzling usually means eating, or attempted eating, at least with smaller deer I thought. That's why he ran in there and went at her pretty good for a few seconds, until that other deer stepped between them.
quadraptor's picture

Aaaahhhhhhh I'm sorry I

Aaaahhhhhhh I'm sorry I didn't even think about that. No Nek was trying to be friendly at the time, but I can completely understand why you would have misinterpreted what she was doing. That was completely thoughtless on my part and I apologize.
Xemi's picture

Oh, what? No, it's not

Oh, what? No, it's not personal, I'm just explaining why he leapt in there like that. xD Heck, I have Crucio who thinks she's the greatest thing in the world (and hopes dearly she continued to uh. Control the population since as the Reaper he gets all those juicy young souls when Nek takes her prey) and Flammel who absolutely despises her. She's a fascinating character, I for one love the concept and the manner in which you play as her. It's intriguing.
Honeyfur's picture

I see you've added Honeyfur

I see you've added Honeyfur to her trusted list! 8D
Although, if Honey ever sees Nek eye balling a fawn, she'll give her some kind of warning, or may simply try and chase her away from the fawn ;]
Kirness's picture

Ahh yeah, I know what you

Ahh yeah, I know what you mean. I usually avoid skull masks for that reason, but.. come on. What kind of a witch doctor doesn't have some crazy skull hat? /smack'd

But Trival's very.. off. He doesn't judge anyone, plus he's a bit of a huge weenie. He gets grumpy and snappy, but that's about it. I question his capacity for personal relationships, he probably doesn't even really understand what a "friend" is. Luckily for Nek then, he's not judgemental in the least. Unless they've proved to be extremely annoying in the past. XD ~

Mhmm, I fully understand that

Mhmm, I fully understand that now, haha! I actually really like his design, he looks so interesting!

And Honeyfur, I added the little ~ to your deer's name for that. Eye

Also to everyone who met Nek in the forest today, thank you all for the fun time! I hope we're able to do more soon, this has turned out to be an extremely interesting development! I never expected Nek to open up like this.

I will warn you, though, if Iugulare found out that Nek was 'fraternizing with her prey instead of following orders', there may be some complications that'll arise. Iugulare would surely remind Nekumbra who she is 'supposed to be' - her servant, and a fawn eater. The progress Nekumbra has made may be wasted if she is convinced that she is supposed to be eating fawns.

In fact...expect that to happen at some point Eye
Xemi's picture

It's too bad she signed off

It's too bad she signed off when she did.
I have a.. em.. suicidal little fawn who ages tomorrow. He went into the forest LOOKING for her shortly after she left.. I suppose that's one free meal down. Incubus isn't exactly happy to be growing into an adult, clearly. Ah well. C'est la vie.
quadraptor's picture

Oh sorry, if it wasn't for

Oh sorry, if it wasn't for the fact that I had to get up at 6:00 this morning, I would have stayed up later. I needed to get some sleep though, it was midnight for me when I logged off.

Although that does seem pretty tempting. If you still want to do that route, we could try this afternoon. I'm going to be late getting online though, but I plan to write Iugulare's "what are you doing?" speech to Nekumbra in a moment. Eye
Xemi's picture

Oooh, I just read that.~ And

Oooh, I just read that.~ And we'll have to see how things pan out; I've promised Kirness, after telling her about Incubus' intentions, that I'd wait to get him online until she had Succubus online. If Succu can smack some sense into him.. free meal gone. If she fails, well.. you can be certain to know. Nekumbra will see him later if that's the case. xD It also depends if Gustiro and Illrose are online, since he'll flock to them for comfort; I'm also not certain exactly WHAT time he's set to become a stag today, but.. well. We shall see.

Though I think once Ishizu finds out how Nekumbra feeds..... |DDDDD
quadraptor's picture

There is a new list

There is a new list available, and it's your choice whether you'd like your deer added to it or not.

The "Defenders" list is for deer who trust Nekumbra enough to protect her when Iugulare and Anirapio come to attack and kill her for disobeying them. Nekumbra was given three days by Iugulare to eat fawns like before, but she has chosen to defy them and has asked for your deer's help protecting her.

She understands that your deer will prefer to trust her before they are added, but anyone who would like to be added please let me know (your deer can be on both the "defenders" and Nek's "trusted" or "semi-trusted" list, by the way)

When Tuesday comes, if Nek hasn't eaten any more fawns by then, she will be in seemingly constant danger from her old allies. It will be up to your deer to keep her safe...and alive...


((Also note, Nekumbra is currently not eating any more fawns as she has learned to eat birds, squirrels, rabbits, ect instead. She is approachable and acts like a normal deer now, though she will still hide behind trees and watch others from a distance on occasion. She still is very afraid of deer with big antlers, and knows that there are many who still do not trust her, as she was attacked by Virgil the other day.))

You can go ahead and list Liam and Ishibaba under Defenders. They know she is trying to change her ways, and do not want to see her get hurt. Smiling

Hi. =) My Luna would like to be on your trusted list. I don't think she met your deer (she hasn't been eaten yet, so I think not), but we find you and your deer interesting and sweet.
quadraptor's picture

I've got you added, thanks!

I've got you added, thanks! As of right now she isn't eating any fawns, and I don't think I've seen your picto around anyway.

Hope to see you soon in the Forest! Nekumbra's pictogram looks like an hourglass like a black widow spider so you should be able to find her easily Eye

Xemi's picture

Amazingly.. put Flammel on

Amazingly.. put Flammel on her Defender's List.
Just because he doesn't agree with her methods doesn't mean he approves of senseless killing.
He'll defend her if push comes to shove, in spite of his current injuries.
Floortje's picture

Oh that's good, Luna hasn't

Oh that's good, Luna hasn't to worry about that then. =)
I will watch out for Nekumbra in the forest, but I'm afraid we're both in a different timezone so that couldn't be that easy. =P But I hope to see you soon too. =)
quadraptor's picture

How interesting that Flammel

How interesting that Flammel will defend her...

What we're going to do for that is have an event like "The Light Infected" where anyone who wants to participate can. Iugulare and Anirapio (along with some rock hounds) will come to kill Nekumbra, and anyone who wants to can help fight them off.

Keep in mind that I can't let Iug and Ani get killed since they're vital to Quad's storyline, but they can be seriously injured. The rock hounds, of course, can be killed and tallied as victories toward the Rock Hound event.

It may not be posted up exactly on Tuesday (I may wait until Wednesday) but it'll be really fun to see what happens. I already have something in mind anyway.

You can put Erza and Z on

You can put Erza and Z on Nek's defenders list. Z won't be around all that much 'cause she enrolled in her own plot (...? I'm not even sure you can call it a plot '^^) and Erza is kind awary of Nek but both will help when they can Smiling
Kirness's picture

Feel free to put Forsake down

Feel free to put Forsake down as a defender. While they technically haven't met in the forest, that's.. kind of his job to jump to protect those in need.

Plus he waaaaay more reliable than Trival. LOL
