My First Felarya Charecter

A note before i begin: I have used this charecter before in another forum. She has been slightly altered to fit into Felarya.

Name: Numa

Gender: Female

Height: 200 ft.

Weight: Have you tried weighing a giant monster?

Appearance: Numa resembles a human with armoured, carapac like plates in strategic positions along her neck, chest, back, legs and arms. She has purple skin and hair, with red eyes.

Background: It isn't known where Numa grew up, but she is currently living in the shelter of the Giant Tree. it is known that she had little contact with other species. Numa however learned to devour anything non-living she came across-this has included Metals, Plants, Trees, Fruits and ocasionly Carrion (the meat of dead animals). Numa will not hurt another sentiant living being on purpose, and may even offer passage for a 'small' creaure. Numa is a creature of unknown origin in Felarya, but is belived to be a mutant. The circumstances of her mutation are speculative, and this theory has not had any valid forthcoming proof.

Abilites: Numa can open her chest to store creatures inside of her. While not 'vore' in the typical sense, it provides a safe location for creatures like Humans and Elves to pass though unharmed. Numa is described by the few people who have seen her as "A land battleship"-and this is very well within reason. When threatened, Numa can curl into a ball like a woodlouse, with the armoured plates expanding to interlock and protect her. She can move around by pushing herself, like a Armadillo. Lastly, Numa's sheer size and naturally thick skin means few Felaryan creatures will actually hunt her down.

Weaknesses: Numa is easily confused, therefore, if you piss her off, make sure you know some Illusion magic. Numa is also quite slow, preferring to crawl rather than walk (after all, her natural food can't get up and walk away can it?).

Personality: Numa is very childish, seeking companionship constantly. She has a fear of being on her own, and of Dryads (Whom usually see her as a nuisance). Numa however has a hidden intelligence that comes out once every so often, such as when asked to solve a puzzle or helping a said friend.

Voice: Due to her isolation, Numa cannot speak. She does however make sounds, which tend to have a aspect of lonliness and tend to boom because of her size. She can also write with a limited degree of skill, as groups of passing people have taught her.

There, thats about everything. When i learn more Felaryan lore, i will fill in the blanks, and maybe create a species with similar capabilites (who knows!).

I sincerly hope this is OK, and meets the criteria.

I AM CURRENLY TRYING TO PROTECT HER WITH A CREATIVE COMMONS LICENCE.

Interesting, looks human yet 500 ft? If she's a mutant, then it's quite a mutation.

That parts just fluff...i intend to expand on this, but its one of a few theories around her.

500 ft is really, REALLY big. Even by Felarya standards. That means she's over seven times taller than Crisis. And that means a really, REALLY big appetite. She sounds like an interesting mutant giantess, but... I can't believe I'm saying this.... You might want to make her smaller. Quite a big smaller, actually.

(And at that size, I think that she'd be providing shelter to the giant tree, not the other way around! )

lol, OK, i'll cut 150ft off. Any better?

(This was my error in not knowing how tall the tree was!)

I'm exaggerating, of course. The tree is big enough for several giant nagas to fit comfortably. You just took me by surprise. That's daikaiju-sized!

350 ft makes her seem like an imposing battleship. I don't think much will mess with her at even that height.

As in 500 reduced by 150 or height down to 150?

Alright, any more modifications i need to make before i can start?

I keep thinking she's too big, so I'm probably not too much help here. But I'd make her 150 ft, tops. But that's just me. A mega-battleship giantess at 350 ft is something that hasn't been seen yet. Just hope the native flora can support her. The fauna are looking a little scared (even the giant ones!).

It was more different to make her different from when i used her in the past (Previously 200ft), have some safety from the predators and offset the disadvantage that she lacks skills like magical ability, and chasing people that have inflicted harm (or tried to). She'd normally teach them a lesson by swallowing them, then sicking them back up a few minuites later.

Heh, 200 ft makes her at least three times as large as most giantesses, of which the common height is 60-80 ft and many of them can hold their own in a fight with a giant predator. And having her all armored like that means additinal protection. I'd say that even if she were the size of a "normal" giantess, she'd have very little to worry about in terms of safety. ^^

Actually the Shell can be penetrated and even broken with weapons. If a artillery barrage from a group of ORCA bombers can blow a good chunk out of the shell, who's to say that the predators of Felarya are going to have similar methords? Getting a claw into a crevic and snapping a piece off for example would be quite easy. She's tough, but not indestructable.

Still, exoskeletal armor is a plus in Felarya, even if it isn't invinceable. And there are aloof giantesses like Jora who have managed to survive at smaller sizes. I'd give Numa a chance to prove herself before I mega-sized her.

KK, i'll set her at her old height, acceptable?
