@Harmony yes she would definitely count. Once she sees those eyes she would certainly want to get to know you. The biggest problem is getting you away from your guardian.
Despite Polli's annoyance that sex is basically always on people's minds, she is close to 70 by this point (slyph's are one of those races), so has had plenty of partners throughout the years, both male and female.
I bet you all think you know how Tessa operates, don't you?! It's slightly more complex than it appearing like she's a whore, oh and by the way don't call her a whore unless you want a nose bopping coming your way (how's that sniffer, Polli?"). Let's take a deeper dive into Contessa's head, shall we?
Tessa is probably the opposite of Harmony and would be classified as allosexual. She has draws no line of distinction between men and women and has plenty of experience with both, but she definitely would have stronger attractions towards humanoid races over others. She's drawn to other strong personalities and while she wouldn't necessarily avoid a shy individual if they were attractive enough, she likes to be entertained and play games that usually the introverts are not into. She tends to grow bored of the quiet folk and seek out the excitement of something new, dangerous or attractive.
Contessa has thus far avoided extended relationships and kept most of them skin deep. Whether she purposefully avoids long relationships or not is unknown, but this is most due to the fact that she has rarely stayed in one location more than a day or two before moving on. Her longest relationships are primarily due to the length of her longer voyages on the sea with a particularly charming member of the crew, but once they land she departs and moves on to the next location. As much as she loves all manner of sexual attraction, her the underlying driving force of Tessa is to track down and kill the man that murdered her parents. As hard as it is to believe, revenge is the primary motivator for Tessa at this point in her life, not sex. Once she ends that mans life and can focus on other things, all bets are off.
That said, she finds each day that she can't have revenge on people so instead she seeks out other pleasures such as blatantly dangerous activities, such as showing up others with her skills with a rapier or acrobatic abilities. At the top of that list however sits sexual attraction and romantic qualities that are associated with it as they all excite her very, very much. Where provocative clothing, flirting and all manner of sexual interactions all are ways that she derives gratification throughout the day, she ultimately knows how use her body to get what she wants without crossing the line of actually being a prostitute and sleeping around. Just because it looks like the goods are all for sale, people quickly find out that only those that Tessa wants get to have a taste. She's never excepted coin for sex and will be extremely upset with those that insinuate she does. Where's the fun in just paying someone for the reward when the chase is fun part?
@Donomsail - woukd Harmony count? Her mismatched eyes are the universal sign of being a changeling (human/hag hybrid) so I'm curious about whether Donomsail would a. know or b. care.
Digging into the weeds here ...
Is a changeling really a human/hag hybrid? They're how hags reproduce, after all. So wouldn't a changeling really be a pre-transformation hag? Yes, Zhi thinks about it sometimes. 'Better not piss off the wife, ya never know what might happen.' :) :)
For the GM's benefit: Harmony is utterly asexual, with no interest at all in that sort of thing. If she did find someone she liked then it would only be after marriage, in a dark room with no light sources.
Thank you, her mom will sleep better for that fact.
LALALALALALALA! ... can't hear you.
... but she definitely would have stronger attractions towards humanoid races over others.
Um, I hesitate to ask what non-humanoid races Tessa has been attracted to in the past.
Ok, now that image is stuck in my brain today.
Hahaha- when this recruitment first popped up (speaking of being attracted to non-humanoids), the first idea I had was to make a guy whose mom was a mermaid and dad was a centaur... he would have been a normal humanoid, but his sister was going to be a hippocampus. Lol. I chickened out though because I was afraid that would be too out there.
Yeah, um. Some of us here have a tendency to push boundaries.
If you haven't met them, let me introduce you to Alessandra and Gabriella Filosovici - twin dhampir sisters who are very close.
If we begin pushing against your boundaries, please, say so.
I wasn’t worried about centaurXmermaid being too taboo, I was worried that their children being a humanoid and a hippocampus might be too silly, lol.
Um, I hesitate to ask what non-humanoid races Tessa has been attracted to in the past.
Ok, now that image is stuck in my brain today.
Oh. It's a shame you hesitate so! You're welcome ;)
"Hey now! Stop that! let go! I can't get in trouble as long as they stay just thoughts!"
If/when she does get serious she's going to want serious connection. She's well read and something of a romantic, so while she might have a friends+ relationship or two, a long term partner is going to be someone she has a deep emotion connection to - her moms were like that and she looks up to them for just about everything (although she'll never admit it).
Technically Zhi, I think you're right. Kurana being dead though Mel shouldn't ever go through the change. Besides, she resisted when Kurana did call, so it shouldn't be a problem now. :)
Also, next level when I get another 6th spell... Zhi ain't gonna know what's hit her! :P
Oh. It's a shame you hesitate so! You're welcome ;)

So ... uh ...
What type of non-humanoids has Tessa been attracted to in the past?
Also, next level when I get another 6th spell... Zhi ain't gonna know what's hit her! :P
Yeah, but just using a spell to cause Zhi to roll around on the floor in ecstasy seems to miss the whole point. Remember, it's about the journey. :)
Someone cast waves of ecstasy on poor Azadi- that guy’s all tense and pent up...
I imagine it's like chinese food though; the spell wears off and you're like, 'Now I'm hungry again.'
Only one way to find out...
I think we're a long way from chinese food, pal.
I think we're a long way from chinese food, pal.
Not a word outta you, Missy, till you answer my question up ^^^ there. ;)
If we keep talking enough it will scroll to the previous discussion page and you'll forget about it!
Changing the subject, let's talk about Harmony's future with Captain Tessa White Ass!
laughs, cause she thinks I'm going to forget about it

While originally this was intended to be a background piece for Marisan, I got a little carried away and fell in love with the trio of sleepers in The Maid.
Very nice.
That’s pretty awesome
Needs more Marisan. ;)
Ask and ye shall receive! Here are two pics of Marisan.
First we have her brawl at the Formidably Maid. She shouldn't kicked that half-orc when he was drinking that ale, we all know how that ended.
Second, Marisan has maximum sassitude up on the deck, waiting for kissing lessons from Captain White Ass Steele.
I'll move us along to the evening tomorrow morning. Spoiler alert: There won't be any dinner meal.
I need to take a few days off, my mom just passed. Please bot me until monday
Can do, Donomsail. Sorry to hear that. Take whatever time you need.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that :( You're in our thoughts and prayers!
Oh no! Best wishes to you and yours.
Yeah- I know you probably won’t see this for a few days, but you’re in my thoughts/prayers as well. I’m sorry for your loss.
Oh goodness sir. Yes, take your time and if there is anything a bunch of relative strangers from the internet can do to help, let us know and we'll do what we can.
My condolences as well. :(
I am off work until next Thursday December 5th, so my posts may be sporadic until I return.
Enjoy your leave!

Which helpful NPCs have armor? Or, which don’t (whichever is easier to list)?
Which helpful NPCs have armor? Or, which don’t (whichever is easier to list)?
All the NPC crew have exactly the same stats (regardless of race, etc.) and, no, they don't have armor.
I want to thank everyone for their condolences. My mom had Alzheimer's I don't say this to get sympathy but to let everyone know that she is better off now as she can become again the person whom she once was.
Marisan I hope you are enjoying your vacation.

She figured that something fun was going to be happening soon, her spells reflect that.
Welcome back!
Good to have you back Donomsail. I hope the game proves a fun distraction.
Donomssail, very very glad you are back!
GM Itzi do the officers on the ship eat with the crew or by themselves?
The officers generally eat with the captain in his cabin while everyone else just eats on the main deck.
