Would anyone be interested in helping test a discord bot made for an upcoming lore-heavy feline RP?
I'd like to help test and am interested in the RP!
I'd like to help test but am not interested in the RP.
I'm not interested in testing but I am interested in the RP!
No thank you, I'll pass on everything.

Hi all! My name is Frey and I'm currently working on developing a Discord bot to support various server-related activities for my upcoming feline RP (if desired, there are more details on that under the cut).
I have been testing this bot on and off for about a month whilst finalizing documentation (setting lore, member procedures, etc.) for the RP server and have come to the obvious conclusion that it would be best to look for others to test function, as I'm only one very tired person who also works full time.
Currently the bot should be able to handle:
User onboarding (bot tutorial)
Character creation, data storage, and roleplay biography
Litter generation from parent genetics, health, and season data
Roleplay tracking, export, archival, and event generation*
Thread activity reminder and abandonment notifications
Automatic event handling/generation from roleplay start
Automatic health updates and progression to character data
Various helpful/fun commands and automatic interactions
Various server setting commands
*Event generation logic is sound but I haven't had the time to test its function extensively outside of certain test commands.
I still need to add or finish:
Event handling for events that occur outside of roleplay
Tagging characters as dead and mortality generation
Commands for quick reference to server related documentation
Reorganizing the /help command and displaying various subcommands where needed
I'm also always looking for new things to add to the bot to make it more robust and complete in its uses to support the server, and welcome suggestions as they come.
As for the server and RP itself, I do genuinely think that it's something new, fresh, and exciting in concept due to the automated processes that the bot will handle, but I wholly understand that it will not be everyone's cup of tea due to the heavy focus on lore and realism.
The server will be 18+ (no NSFW), with the target audience being those that are busy and don't necessarily have the time to spend in a Discord server all day. If I were to provide a rough guess as to the 'genuine' target audience it would be individuals 25+ with an interest in biology, ecology, and anthropology.
The primary themes to be explored within the RP will be those of Survival, and Us vs Them, reflecting many situations found in the news and general climate of the world today. These situations will be explored not only within the player colony (all server members will be part of a single colony) and its internal divisions, but also between the player colony and a secondary group.
While this server is related to cats and thereby will likely be of interest to those in the WCRP community, the lore and setup itself has nothing to do with WCRP and has grounding far more related to less anthropomorphized xenofiction. As an example, there are no equivalent words in the feline language for Mom, Dad and other such familial terms (though there are terms for Sister, Brother, and Sibling), who a cat understands is their 'immediate family' is different depending on their age, and the cats in-lore have 7 sexes (or 4, depending on how you count) and 3 gender groups designated in a manner that would be more relevant to their society.
I don't necessarily want to laud the details of the planned RP on and on in this post as I am of course heavily biased towards it, and that is not really the primary purpose of this post. The current incomplete server documentation is about 50k in length, with lore comprising approximately 30k of that length, and procedures completing the rest of the word count. I had intended to complete the documentation by mid-December, but unfortunately got stuck between the holidays and various medical appointments so hopefully bringing some testers on to help will bring the project back to realignment.

I drew some fanart for The Thief of Tales' lovely Nevhna! It's such a sweet and magical comic about telling stories to a wolf spirit so he won't eat you!
