Farming games are a cornerstone of the “cozy” genre. It’s a loaded and somewhat fuzzy category, defined mostly in opposition to mainstream g
Starting a gaming blog to create a better home for long-form thoughts and encourage myself to actually organize them. First post is a reflection on Sakuna, farming sims, and the hollowness of "cozy".
Every 3 years or so I make new Symphonia stat screens for me and @onthemoonpoetry. This time we themed our character's on RPG job classes - blacksmith and apothecary.
Character description: Queen of the Needlenee tribe. She is so persuasive and diplomatic that she has brought together many tribes into one colony. She appears in the awesome Webtoon Castle Swimmer.
Stinky Plants Mt: 14 Range: 2
After combat, foe and foes within 2 spaces of target inflicted with status preventing counterattack through their next actions.
Summoned: -Why hello there, friend! I come from a far away ocean; would you like some of my delectable plants?
“Tap!” quotes: -Curious about my plants, are you? They are exceptionally good at absorbing algae; would you like to inspect their growth?
-Haha!
-Not all rulers are the same. Take me for instance; as soon as I became queen, I said, “Screw it!” to the previous rulers. You can do things your own way, you know?
-Oooh, I can’t wait to find the Beacon! I’m going to be rich! Rich, I tell you!
-Don’t underestimate me just because of my weapon of choice. I’ll have you know these plants release a noxious gas when thrown. B-But they’re still safe to eat, of course!
-Queen Krilli and I… Man, we go way back. We even hatched right next to each other. She gets on my nerves sometimes, but she’s like a big sister to me.
-Home: Nobody around this castle wants my plants… You should try them; they’re really a delicacy in the western seas.
-Whoo, that shark queen sure is scary! Those sharks aren’t pushovers like I thought. I have you to thank for saving me from them.
-Princess Fjorm is sooooo pretty! I wonder if she can give me some beauty tips. That is if I can get a chance to speak to her…
-You know, I abhor violence. My favourite weapon is my tongue! You want me to persuade someone, I’m your woman!
-Bet you’ve never seen a mount quite like this one, eh? In my world, large seahorses are both treasured pets and common transportation.
-Hellooo, other summoner! Care for an exotic plant?
-So, you want to know how I became such a fabulous queen? …Well, to tell you the truth, I used to be called a prince, before I discovered I was actually a princess. I didn’t do so well starting out, either… But I quickly gained a way with words – so good, in fact, that I brought people of different races together into one big, happy colony! You’ll have to learn how to be good with words, hon, if you want to get far in this world. Violence isn’t always the answer. (upon reaching level 40, 5 stars)
-Map: -I’m ready for anything! –Yeeees? –Let’s go!
-Critical/Skill: -Eat my plants! –I’m on fire! –This is going to hurt a little! –Look at me!
-Defeat: You can’t bring spears to a plant fight…
-Who’s the most fabulous queen in the world? That’s right, I am! (5-6 stats up)
If there was ever a cross-over... right? ^//7//^’‘
I got the template from here~
I wonder if this set up would make him a functional unit? I couldn’t imagine Dylas NOT using his fists, so a new weapon category (lol). Unit can counter attack! If foe’s distance = 2, calculate damage based on foe’s resistance!
244 | VOLCANO POKÉMON
Entei embodies the passion of magma. This Pokémon is thought to have been born in the eruption of a volcano. It sends up massive bursts of fire that utterly consume all that they touch.
GENERAL||
Name| Exploit.
Age| unknown.
Pronouns| unknown, they/them used
Level| 45
Element| Null— an incredibly rare element that is the absence of all others.
Magic| Constant regeneration, permanent DEF buff. Passively cancels out all elemental magic, including that from equipment.
Occupation| unknown.
Friends| none.
Personality| Erratic, volatile, terrified, and in constant distress. Not much personality to speak of most of the time, and when they do get a clear moment through the pain (having a permanent hole in your chest isn’t exactly ideal), they’re nigh unapproachable and incredibly skittish.
Abilities| Despite their extremely fragile state (they only have one life and cannot get more), they’re exceptionally bulky with ridiculous amounts of VIT and DEF. They can tank hits well, though they’re extremely averse to taking damage. Any hit that does land will give a boost to either SPD or DEF.
