@Gnomehunter alright, I brainstormed some ideas for stories and wwyd scenarios. If you or anyone else wants to borrow them then go ahead.:
.(Sahuagjn): while out fishing, a man finds a metal object poking out of the water. The object was actually a spear that belongs to a sahuagjn, who was lying in wait for fish. And since her hunt was ruined by the man, she decides to make him her ‘meal’.
.(Myconid): A man is chased by a myconid in a swamp. Although he manages to overpower her and throw her off (which doesn’t hurt her in the slightest), she releases a ton of spores whenever she comes into physical contact with him. Eventually when he’s cornered, exhausted, and under the effects of the spores, she finally gets him.
.(Chochin-Obake): A merchant visiting zipangu enters a pub, with an Cochin-Obake group performance. After the show the main star comes over where the merchant is and offers him a drink.
.(Giant Slug): A giant slug finds a man stuck on a slime trail she made earlier. He notices her and attempts to use salt to drive her away… only to realize that salt doesn’t work that with GS, and seals his fate once she gets close to him
I'm glad Shirohebi have been getting some more love lately, also Inari need some more love too.
A few ideas-
Kamaitachi
The profile mentions that rarely Different daughters of different parents will come to like the same man, so imagine the youngest daughter of some kama triplets falls in love with a different man than her older siblings (I say the youngest because this could make it more challenging for her, both in justifying her decision to her older siblings and also she’s not as skilled at combat as the oldest). But she’s adamant in her decision, requiring her sisters to find a third member and her To find 2 more kamas
I’ve been thinking the danuki might have a bit of potential even if her profile makes her sound kind unlikable (not to mention the creeping coin is a bit more attractive for a money minded mamono). But finally I think I have 2 ideas for a danuki
Running a shop in plain daylight in an order city-she uses magic to disguise it and will sell to either other mamono in hiding or humans who happen to stumble across it
A similar but slightly different direction for the same concept-see The tv tropes page the little shop that wasn’t there yesterday- (example, the shop that sells a mogwai in the movie gremlins) a danuki runs such a shop and uses it to appear all over the world, selling whatever magic junk she acquires. Could be used to give someone a magic item or tool, maybe even hook him up with a mamono
Different idea-guy finds a large stash of money and is trying to figure out whether to use it or leave it ge, especially trying to avoid suspicion. (Luckily?) along comes a danuki who is more than happy to help him put it to good use without raising suspicion. Could be used either in the modern age, where he found a huge pile of gold, or the modern era and it’s a ton of bills
I think Dorome deserve more love
Do I have any arguments? Absolutely not but she still needs more love
Dorome is a hard sell. Gets mud everywhere. Personally speaking since she’s the “degraded” form of a gnome, my literal favorite mamono, it’s hard to look too fondly at her. But her art is cute. I have this half idea of like a guy and his gnome wife are out in the woods or something and like 3 succubi attack them for some reason so they assault the gnome with so much de that she turns immediately into a dorome. The Succubi try to get away but then the dorome glomps them and by the end the guy has 3 Succubus wives in addition to his dorome
Actually the more I think about it the more I feel this might be a bit too close to some sort of corruption that some people don’t enjoy. The other way for a dorome to be formed, looking at the profile, is a gnome lives for so long in a region and gets filled with so much de that she turns into a dorome naturally. Then some guy wanders into the region and she gets him
You know what, the Devil Bug is kinda underrated.
They're the swarm. And Imagining them rushing Order base like a Zerg.
Yes, In my Image. Devil Bug is a Zerg...
I mean both the devil bugs and the Zerg are races of bugs that act in a very single minded manner
Devil bugs are less underrated and more highly hated. But I think it’s a little over exaggerated. Devil bugs ought to be easy enough to protect yourself from and it doesn’t mean there can’t be devil bugs who act differently than how the profile works. I think if her as a pretty low tier, but not quite at the bottom
I have a one shot coming up in October
Gnomehunter dorome doesn't have to be mud. If you would look at Q&A information:
In Dorome's illustration you can see the brown solid looking thing, does this mean she has a core? (*I'm guessing this is the real question asked here because this guy is an European using a translator, meaning his Japanese is kinda messed up)
Doromes don't have cores. The shiny brown thing you can see in the pic is her mud that got solidified. She can make any part of her body become solid like that. (KC)
Now i am thinking about the possibilities of "degraded" Sylphs, Undines and Ignis that are more monsters then elementals too ... but i would probably aim for the "normal" elemental girls like Gnome too.
Devil Bug has the same problem as the Beelzebub, people still react with repulsion because of their origins as flys and cockroaches, i do like them.
What do you think?
