Sara Jane?

Well, maybe. We saw that she kinda liked him in 10's episode with her.
Outside of that, Tybs could be Sara Jane.

I love how tybs Is talking about how he doesn't drink but Arthur's just saying the Nantes filter out the toxins
Can Carl produce magnificent amounts of lactic fluid?

Carl could be Strax! That does make sense.

Are you including her bandmates? Her and Ace are decently close, but I don't recall who else is in the band. Tamina maybe?

Mel's band is primarily Ace, Ginni, and Vai. there are the ogre drummers but they are more like NPC types than actual players.

everyone else is way to afraid, or claim not enough talent so Mel doesn't really push the issue.

and half the band has severe stage fright, but is at least willing to try.

I have the sudden and inexplicable urge to play a 'typical cat'folk student.

EDIT: ten seconds into my google images search I find a suitable picture.

How so? Could get complicated. Alocatra isn't exactly easy to get to here from.
Plus Dom has a catfolk npc that's kinda that way.
Plus if there's another player one, I can't make up all the culture without getting stories straight first. :/
Not that I can tell you not to, it just makes my life a fair bit harder.
I feel like a jerk saying this, but I kinda need to... :(

Adoption fixes all but Dom's being kinda the same. :)

You aren't a jerk, btw.

Why wouldn't there be catfolk native to this planet?

I hadn't considered that. I forgot Tybs was an offworlder.

I was the first to play a catfolk, and he's offworld, so catfolk in this setting are off world. That's really it. *shrugs*

Lol, makes sense. They haven't even been mentioned before Tybs.

Unless that applies to humans too...

Seriously, this entire planet was immigrated with the amethyst dragons.
All sorts of races are here.

Alocatra had had its first meeting with offworlders for them very recently. Tybalt got onto the first outgoing ship. They're currently in a worldwide late Victorian era going towards industrial revolution. The main yhing being that theres no way off the planet without hitchhiking the very rare visitor. Most of Alocatra is smallish islands with a decent sized land mass in the center being most of the place that there are mixed folk communities. Not that they're xenophobic, just that they keep to their own communities.

The Dokonalá stuff is a little confusing, but let me see if I got it.

Catfolk A(male) believes Catfolk B(female) is his Dokonalá. He asks and she accepts, eventually getting the tattoos. Catfolk C(male it female) thinks B is his/her Dokonalá, asks, is accepted, and they get tattoos too. Possible?

That sounds like a lovely place. It's going to be a shame when the Dragon Empire finds it! >:D

Tybs, that doesn't mean catfolk can't live elsewhere. That's your planet's culture.

Yes. More than two is very rare, as they take this very seriously, but more than one on each hand, the tattoo goes up the arms pressed together.

Well, thanks for the mood kill.

I had actually considered offering Alocatra as one of the gem dragon planets, if it can be adapted.
Maybe sapphire considering it's mostly water?

And Ice, why can't it just be this way? It works just fine.

There are no native humans on Alocatra. All the "humanoids" are the folk. Think furries, basically. They each have an 'ancestor' they resemble and follow the 'folk'(humanoid) body shape.
Catfolk culture is on a crescent moon island called Nekobay. They focus on fishing. There is feywild on part of Nekobay. Tybalt comes from the presiding family Baneko there, with one clan leader over all the island, being a seer and a council of noble families that act as a Congress to executive decisions.
The clan leader is male or female, but must be of the family. Descendants aren't a problem as catfolk are virile and have young in units of around 8 max, but also common. Catfolk women have a heat cycle like regular cats do.
Catfolk relations follow a kind of "true love" called finding your Dokonalá. If you feel that you've found them, you ask to court and if they accept you, you perform a pair bonding ritual involving magical tattoos put over the fur on intertwined hand-paws. This is not limited to male female or monogamy if an individual is believed as a match to more than one other. Everyone only has one Dokonalá, but not everyone is confined to /being/ one dokonalá. There is a word for also matching your person, but I forget what it is.
There's more, and I plan to make more, but that's most of it.

filing this under "useful information"

Haven't decided on where.
The empire doesn't fit it very well, and they wouldn't be useful being so comparatively primitive.
Guess that answer relies on the gem question.

Because it strongly restricts a common race.

Well if border the empire might not have a presence there and not care about them
But if they were closer to the center, even a planet with no life can be mined...

Catfolk are by no standards common.
They are among the least played usable races.

Here, in a sense, yes.

Sadly I think the Gem planets already all have histories and such.

Also, being primitive doesn't really matter to the Empire, they'll indoctrinate if they want to. Belsayv has been spared thus far because there's not much of use on it compared to other things. It's low priority, but it'll get hit eventually.

I was offering it in case they hadn't had total things done yet. :)

Yes. More than two is very rare, as they take this very seriously, but more than one on each hand, the tattoo goes up the arms pressed together.

Thanks for clarifying. I agree they haven't been common at all on Agartha so far. It was just a thought, anyway.

I always thought it would be funny if one if the Gem planets was the main 'headquarters' of the Empire. Right under their noses and all that.

been waiting on Gems for a wile, be a long time before they enter play how ever

Mel who's this

“There was a goblin, or a trickster or a warrior. A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. Nothing could stop it or hold it or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world...”

It's still a standard race, not even under "uncommon races.", but featured races.
I've considered catfolk from time to time, but wanted nothing to do with that planet.

It's not that they aren't in golarion common.

That's because most of the threads are hate-things.

Do you ever see threads about "hay, my session was great last night"

People tend not to talk about when things are going well.

You could still use the idea. Maybe a young Agathion?

Great, so the valid way to play a catfolk without the history is be a neteral good intrinsically magical outsider?

Yeah, the gem dragon worlds are already pretty well set.

And if Tybs were from one of those worlds, there's no way a spaceship would have landed there. They have similar wards to what Agartha used to have before Taron and co rebuilt them. Also they are mostly high technology worlds. Agartha became kinda backwards in regards to that stuff because of what happened to the amethysts. We already know that Haven has flying cars from the short trip that Lang and friends made there through the Avatar temple. I think Lemuria was the sapphire dragon world. Haven is crystal. And Annwn is....ummm....Emerald? I seem to have forgotten the name of the topaz world. :S

Or maybe an actual anthropomorphized cat/great cat/magical beast? That would cover the reasons for being a stereotypical cat, while staying out of the wonky culture I pulled out of my hat.

Didn't we answer this already?

Yup, right here

Ya, I forgot about that part. Anyways, that's fine. It was kind of an afterthought anyways.

Also, there's a lot of worlds and dimensions and such that interact with Avalon. There's really no reason why a catfolk could not come from Alocatra even if they aren't all that common on Agartha. We would just need a suitable backstory to explain where they come from and why it's different....or it's someone from Agartha who got a weird result from a reincarnation spell and has no idea how to deal. ;P

Edit: Or just a lycan who spends a lot of time in hybrid form. It's weird and would be considered a weakness so they'd be outcast from their tribe. But it's a possibility.

I gotta agree that there should absolutely be the possibility that Catfolk exist on Agartha. They would clearly be different than Tybs, but seeing as how there this is a very undefined world, there could be pretty much anything native to Agartha.

Unless Lyn says otherwise, its kinda silly to claim an entire race as only playable by one person.

Finally, Tybalt, just because you've personally come across threads about people not liking them, does not relegate them to an unpopular race. I know lots of people that like them, going back to at least 3.x.

That they are a featured race, means the powers that be(James Jacobs, Jason Bulmahn, etc) feel that it is, in fact, a popular race, and are in fact semi common in Golarion. I believe they have an entire country, or at least several large communities in Garund, which is the southern continent of the Inner Sea.

Ahhh yes, that trip seemed like only yesterday...

Also, I really will read the gameplay thread at some point....when I don't have a clingy kidlet in need of attention....he has to go to bed at some point, right? :P

How powerful is gem planet tech?

would you prefer a clingy Lang?

How powerful is gem planet tech?

They have a wave motion gun ! ...... :)

☺

What does that even mean?

How powerful is gem planet tech?

On par with Empire tech.

How powerful is gem planet tech?

Lyn has given me Annwn to work with. Annwn's tech is roughly equivalent to the Dragon Empire, though they tend toward mixing psionics and tech rather than magic and tech (which is the norm for the Empire).

I'll get some posts up soon as well.
