PART TWO SIGNUPS AND INSTRUCTIONS

[directrice]

HELLO, WELCOME TO THE MONSTER DATING PORTION OF THE GAME. The monsters wanna have a party too, ya know!!

SIGN UPS

Every person will OOCly sign up picking traits that their monster has.

LIST OF TRAITS HERE

They will sign-up with the following information:
• Three traits a character's head monster would find attractive in another monster
• Three traits a character's head monster would find repulsive in another monster
• Three attractive traits a character's head monster has themselves
• Three repulsive traits a character's head monster has themselves

Again, this is OOCly decided. I set it up this way because it lets people pick and choose which effects to play with and also lets people avoid what they do not want to play with. These monsters are also independent fellows with their own traits and personalities!!

Each trait as you can see comes with status effects attached. These are affecting your head monsters specifically. That said, the more attraction/repulsion that these monsters feel, the more the status effects will affect them and thus their compulsion to perform these status effects will override your character's own control of themselves. It's the monster's turn to drive now.

ACTUAL DATES

When everyone is free to mingle, they'll find that the monster will suddenly gain more control based on the number of traits another monster might have.

ATTRACTION MATCHUPS
❥ If your character is near someone with three traits that your monster finds attractive, your character will have almost no control. Your monster will be in full control here. This means your character is more likely to lose control of their human form and will end up transforming into the monster form (how much they transform is up to the player), and your character will have no control over the status effects. The monster will feel compelled to follow them.

❥ If your character is near someone with two traits that your monster finds attractive, the character will have control, but the character must have extreme focus to do so. The character will most certainly struggle if they don’t as the monster will try to drive! The character’ll find that they might also get more scales or more feathers as some physical traits of the monster will start peeking out.

❥ If your character is near someone with one trait that your monster finds attractive, the character’ll remain in control, but find that they have these weird thoughts of desires in their brain. If they’re the type to do what they want, they might do it anyway.

❥ If you have no match-ups, there will be no changes.

Even if the status effect is violent or non-violent, it is done with LOVE. The feeling of love will linger in the character’s mind even as their monster side loses control.


REPULSIVE MATCHUPS
❥ If your character is near someone with three traits that your monster finds repulsive, your character will have almost no control. Your monster will be in full control here. This means your character is more likely to lose control of their human form and will end up transforming into the monster form (how much they transform is up to the player), and your character will have no control over the status effects. The monster will feel compelled to follow them.

❥ If your character is near someone with two traits that your monster finds repulsive, the character will have control, but the character must have extreme focus to do so. The character will most certainly struggle if they don’t as the monster will try to drive! The character’ll find that they might also get more scales or more feathers as some physical traits of the monster will start peeking out.

❥ If your character is near someone with one trait that your monster finds repulsive, the character’ll remain in control, but find that they have these weird thoughts of desires in their brain. If they’re the type to do what they want, they might do it anyway.

❥ If you have no match-ups, there will be no changes.

Even if the status effect is violent or non-violent, it is done with HATE. The feeling of hatred will linger in the character’s mind even as their monster side loses control.

REGARDING STATUS EFFECTS, the description listed next to the traits are fairly general and open-ended. This is intended! You are free to interpret things as you like. Kindness means different things to different monsters. So can violence. As long as it fulfills the general vibe, it's legal! HAVE FUN.

I KNOW THIS IS A LOT TO READ AND MIGHT BE HARD TO UNDERSTAND. To help, once sign-ups are done, I'll post a cheat sheet for you so you know just who your matchups are. 'v' I hope this is fun, if you have questions, ask here.

Re: QUESTIONS

[directrice]

My character doesn't have a separate head monster! What then?
For cases of where your character has monster urges instead of having a separate entity with its own conscious, please fill out the form as your character would! Instead of losing control to the monster, your character will lose control to their own monstrous urges! So please note what your own character would find attractive and repulsive, in general (monster or not).

Re: QUESTIONS

[stirtheblood]

FIRST QUESTION: Am interpreting it correctly that the status effects that will influence a monster are from the traits that they are attracted to, not the ones they have themselves?

Some of the effects seem pretty clearly directed towards someone they're attracted to - e.g. if you find "brings me food" attractive and you are near someone who brings food, you become hungry and want them to give you food. MAKES SENSE. But some of them seem more about displaying the trait themselves - e.g. if you find "responsibility" attractive and you are near someone responsible you yourself become the mom friend, even if you are generally extremely irresponsible yourself? Is that right?

SECOND QUESTION: Can we choose traits from the opposite lists for what our monster finds attractive/repulsive? WHAT IF I FIND SADISM ATTRACTIVE.

Re: QUESTIONS

[nohalation]

FIRST QUESTION - YES, YOU ARE CORRECT so if Vicious finds someone bald repulsive, he will want to cover up said bald person's head as per repulsive bald status effect. For responsible, yes, they are so responsible so now its your turn to be responsible for them!

However, as noted, effects are open to interpretation. THE VIBE OF THE EFFECTS. As long as its within the general suggestion range, you can honestly do whatever you feel would be fun and works within that. For example, maybe Vicious/Vicious monster form will want the other party to be EVEN MORE RESPONSBILE and will tell them "hey make me a sandwich, you should make me a sandwich, I AM DYING PLEASE MAKE ME A SANDWICH". That's fine, too! I'm not really gonna hard police this so have fun!!!!

Re: QUESTIONS

[nohalation]

SECOND QUESTION: If I include too many traits for one side of matchups, it'll become hard for me to actually match up folks.

HOWEVER. I can generally add a few and note the changes in announcements if there are absolutely none that match, but with the case of sadist, I would just pick dangerous and note in parentheses like:

Attractive Trait: Dangerous (specifically sadist), (also sadist-like side effect) and that should be alright!!

Re: QUESTIONS

[moonlit_knight]

If I am interacting with a character that has 1 attractive trait and 1 repulsive trait, is it character will remain in control but have intrusive thoughts about the two traits separately, or do the effects compound to the level 2 character has control but needs EXTREME FOCUS to stay in control?

Re: QUESTIONS

[nohalation]

It is the former! Love-hate bouncing back and forth time!

Re: QUESTIONS

[cultfavorite]

Does the level of control the monsters have affect abilities at all or are monster powers still nerfed like normal? e.g. if Saturn fully transformed into Azelf would he be able to levitate despite that not being a monster power he's gained via the shop?

Re: QUESTIONS

[nohalation]

God has decreed, no monster powers so no levitation unfortunately! Only whatever you have bought!
