So you've made the decision to trek out through marshland and to this particularly slippery Rubbery's humble stalagmite abode.

What would you take from the Fluctuating Butcher-Artist's home?

A monstrous eyeball in a jar, wheeling about a small track overhead

A weasel (no guarantee of all organs in their proper place, and they bite)

A mask, molded into a facsimile of a human face

Ornate cutlery, fastened of metal and bone

A jar of amber, kept safely near the fireplace

A small potted mushroom, tucked carefully into a lightless and mildewy corner

A venom sac of some creature, its contents occasionally burbling

A box full of eggshells, each labeled with a name and approximate date

One tooth upon the counter, occasionally shifting about as if it were restless

A dust-caked vial of an antidote, a letter around the vial's neck

Handwritten notes on various creatures in the Neath, and their malleability

And thanks to @lord-emerson for making this a trend!

🧍‍♂️ and 🎖️ for the ask game!

🧍‍♂️— What stats would they provide as a companion? Where would you obtain them?

The Fluctuating Butcher-Artist would increase Dangerous, Persuasive, Bizarre, and Shapeling Arts while also providing an increase in Wounds gain. They would likely be obtained in Helicon House, or somewhere in Wolfstack Docks during Whitsun.

🎖️ — Proudest non-Ambition accomplishment?

Their proudest non-Ambition accomplishment would likely be the hatching of the Inculcating Kraken. This beast is treated like a beastly child/roommate and has its own place to reside in within this rubbery's humble abode. If not the hatching of the beast, likely Scaleflat's proudest accomplishment would go to the curiosity and engagement of others with the Shapeling Arts due to their teachings (as, despite not exactly volunteering to teach the art in the first place, a few people have asked and they were more than happy to oblige— as long as a bit of stabbing to determine the malleability of their form isn't minded, of course)

🐹🐹🐹🎲🎲🎲 GIMME FLOOR

🐹 Which would be your OCs favorite Pokemon? What kind of trainer would they be? Floor would likely be a Ground-type trainer, honestly. Galarian Stunfisk, Clodsire, Palpitoad, Sandaconda, Toedscruel, and Grapploct would make up their team (yes, Grapploct isn't a ground type but it feels criminal not to put one on the team) As far as a favorite goes, maybe Noibat? Either Noibat or Zoroark, though those two are very different.

🎲 If your OC played a pen and paper RPG, what class would they pick? Warrior, mage, thief, ranger, cleric, paladin, druid, necromancer, bard (or other, if that’s not enough). If going with standard D&D-esque classes, probably a ranger. If going for Blades in the Dark, probably a Spider with some Hound and Slide traits.

Hello! Mirrors, I am curious about the reflection of our flexible friend :)

mirrors: what would their parabolan reflection look like? which dream quality fits them the most, thematically?

A constantly fluctuating form in proportion, shifting often yet still recognizably the same rubbery in nature. A parabolan reflection is the ideal self, but Scaleflats sees little that needs to be changed about the base form, as ironic as it may sound. The changes they tend to make to themselves are more for a purpose to better fit in with others or for protection (sometimes a mix of both), so the typical shape is mostly unchanged. Except, of course, for the parts that tend to shift on a whim. Most of the main identifying features stay similar enough, though.

As far as the dream quality that fits them best thematically... I'd say probably The Burial of the Dead?

wines for the ask game!

wines: if your oc was a companion, what stat boosts (or penalties) would they give? what would be their ingame title and description?

Fluctuating Butcher-Artist

They embrace the beauty and strangeness in the constant changes in the form of beasts, in the ability to alter such forms-- including their own. 

+7 Dangerous +5 Persuasive +1 Shapeling Arts +1 Wounds

sure you've already had them but. I am dangling Floor like a tiny blue ringed octopus from my hands for the ask game

Surprisingly I did not get them sent in before this ask!

Disclaimer- fish may sometimes also fear Fluorine Scaleflats. As will most other people in fine society that don't quite appreciate the rubbery charm.

Patheticness may vary but! I consider them to be soggy and pathetic in their own right <3

Bitches be looking at the floor and they go: "Yo, that's floorcore vibes."
