The Hedgehog Empire
Adoptables w/ Worldbuilding
Stretch your creativity!

[discussion] - archives

The name isn't terribly creative, but these guys typically aren't about outwards appearances. They want you to step into their world and their culture and really live it.
This little land is completely separate from humans. There is no human influence. Unlike most types of hedgehogs, these guys are very social. So social, that they have developed complex hierarchies and societies with codes of law, complicated culture, and scientific discoveries.

When you step into their world and befriend your first hedgie, you are expected to provide a village. This village, with tender care and your gentle assistance, can grow into a thriving hedgehog metropolis.

wip -- this will be better written eventually!

Getting Started

When you get your first hedgehog, you should build it a settlement thread. This thread will be were you keep your hedgehogs, your art, your writing, your creativity, etc.
This thread will keep track of your hedgehogs' character development. The character development is essential for building your settlement into a thriving hedgie metropolis.

You can have up to 5 hedgehogs initially. When you want more, you need to develop your existing hedgehogs or their home.
For each additional two hedgehogs, you need to gather 10 points.

Normal
Rarity: Common
Limit: None
These guys are the backbone of your settlement. They can do anything, and you have the most freedom with their characters in terms of skills and professions. However, they can't use magic.

Munchkin
Rarity: Common
Limit: None
These guys are smaller than your standard hedgehogs. They are peaceful and nervous. They excel when it comes to crafting, husbandry, and tending crops. They can't use magic.

Warrior
Rarity: Uncommon
Limit: 3
Warriors have very spiky quill coats, pointed ears, and large fangs. They tend to be more hot-headed. This type will make up your defensive and offensive developments. Some can use magic.

Magic
Rarity: Uncommon
Limit: 3
Magic type hedgies have short quill coats and scruffy noses. Their ears are slightly folded. These guys tend to stick to themselves, but can be useful in yoru defensive and offensive developments. They are multi-faceted and can be used for multiple things, but don't like to get their feet dirty. They can use their magic for good or evil.

Elite
Rarity: Rare
Limit: 2
Your elite hedgehog will take running your settlement very seriously. They have long fur, and don't like to get dirty. Some can use magic.

Hedgeboar
Rarity: Legendary
Limit: 1
The legendary hedgeboar is your settlement's patron. They worship your hedgeboar, and your hedgeboar can influence the path your settlement takes. Some hedgeboars are gentle and kind while others are aggressive. Very magical, very elusive. They are not typically available for adoption.

It's possible to interact with other users, but it's also possible to remain "off the grid" so to speak.

Rehoming Hedgehogs
Maybe you have a hedgehog who no longer wishes to live in your settlement. If someone else is willing to take the character on, the hedgie can move. Please just post on the [designated thread] with the request, and the transfer will be complete.
The hedgie can go off and make his own settlement (transferred to a non-owner), or join another established settlement.
The hedgie's existing history should remain intact. You can change personality, profession, likes, dislikes, skills, etc, but the change must be addressed in the hedgehog's history.

RP
You are encouraged to RP! This will really help character and settlement development. You can do this on your own, or with prompts from me. If you choose a prompt, you can earn some favor or perks. Don't worry, you will never lose anything... you'll either get something or you won't.

Prompts
I will offer prompts to give you an idea for development. You will be able to earn favor or perks through these prompts as well.

In the shop, you can buy perks. These are also the perks that you can earn through interaction with other people.
