A long while back, me and Karbo were exchanging some PMs back and forth. In the course of our discussion, we observed how, in a way, there are two Felaryas-one as experienced by predators, the other as experienced by prey.

The first perspective-one experienced by Crisis and friends-is the one we see most often-a "cute and pleasant place" , as Karbo put it.

But what of the prey?

This is what this thread is about: Felarya from the eyes of the hunted.

I've often wondered what a place like Felarya does to a man-or woman, if you insist on political correctness. What does being food in the eyes of its voracious denizens do to their psyche? To their convictions?

One would change, but into what? A frightened animal? A broken spirit? A new, emboldened being? Or, perhaps, into something monstrous, even to Felarya's inhabitants?

I want to hear-in all seriousness-what a place like Felarya does to those that find themselves on the menu.

Depends on where the prey is from, what type of upbringing they had, etc.

For three examples:

1) Real-Life human. If from something like a 1st-world country, Felarya would seem like heck. The lack of technology, the sheer number of things wanting you dead, the 'Every man / woman for themself' lifestyle (In the end), all this would play poorly with them.

2) Freman. Beyond the sheer awe at the amount of life, a Freman would likely see the planet as an obstacle - nothing more. If he / she learned of the portals, they'd likely use it to get home (Or in the least get to some Desert-area).

3) Catachan. Just like home.

And, because I feel like adding it in here (Mainly due to it being a non-human 'prey'):

Predators: They'd likely feel this place to be some sort of holy land. A place where they could use even Wargear and not have a sure-chance of getting any skulls. If Predators found a stable way to reach Felarya, you could imagine large fluxes of 'em rushing for the planet to prove their skill.

The culture, homeplanet, etc. would vastly change everything.

well in my opinion it depends if the prey is prepared or not. If they were to go into the forest just for kicks with a couple of there friends and they were all eaten except one, I would guess that eather:

A. They would never leave there house again.

B. They would be hardened by the experience and become more resourceful in the Forest.

C. They just go crazy.

Two words Doge Darem. He's been captured and escaped so many times all you have to think about is what would happen if he didn't escape.

It all depends on their responsiveness to change, I think many humans would suffer from extreme stress and depression, providing that these people can live and more than just the strong few survive, this could be something of a epidemic that plauges most human settlements, and its not hard to reinforce it once another member gets picked off as a snack,

Yeah, this basically depends on the person and their will to survive. in my opinion if ya have the guts then your gonna last pretty long, if ya don't then your on the one way express to a Naga's gut (keep your tickets it's a one way ride, buddy). Ya gotta have the guts to kill something not only to survive but also to eat, and you also have to learn how to outsmart (or just downright avoid) the top preds that are comin to get ya.

If it were me, I'd be dead in at least a few hours...

Imagining a world where the humans aren't in charge at all, don't master everything is quite difficult.. buf strangely fascinating in the same time

Normally, with a common ennemy, humans would tend to band together but because the "ennemy" ( basically the rest of the world ) seem night undefeatable and with the great richness around, greed could override any sense of cooperation.. Like : " ok I take what I can in this cursed world and I get my ass out of here and screw the rest."
