No worries on that, while actively using tyrant points is usually the ultraviolet option, violence isn't the only way to get them. Foe example when you did the sneak around the security guards. That was very in character for an ultra-predator who's still growing up.

Think anything instinct, violent, or predatory. So just being a really good ambush predator would get you points. Sure something Lie doing a stakeout to observe your prey would have prototype inclinations but you are still hunting so Tyrant would be what you get.

So, while an option might give us mostly points in one category, we can gain a smaller net of points in the other two depending on how we go about it?

Say we wanted to understand a new animal that has been introduced to our environment; if we were to stalk, ambush and then dissect it, we would get mostly Prototype points due to the intent, but also gain Tyrant for the method of kill? Whereas if we just left it alone and observed it from a distance, we'd get King points instead of Tyrant?

It would depend on the intention behind it really, if you were to just stalk something around the island for no other reason than curiosity it would be prototype, if you intended to eat it, it would be tyrant. Also I'd think dissecting something would be more a prototype action as long as the intention was study. If you were going out of your way to be cruel (like doing so while it was alive) it would be tyrant, but just dissecting something wouldn't.

Also for how it typically works, after the prologue, after every 'event' depending on how I set things up you would get a point based on your actions. However there's going to be a sort of bank of smaller net points that will be released on certain actions. Admittedly I'm still finagling the system, so it hasn't been completely set up yet.

    • As you reached a claw towards the flicker of green, there was moment just before contact. The world was frozen in gray, a moment lost to the rest of the world you knew. Like you had taken a breathe and the world just stopped functioning.

    The ball of light in the sky went out, the wind stopped brushing against your scales, and your feet were no longer locked onto to the ground beneath them.

    Then all it once it came back as the flickering wisp wrapped around your claw like shattered stone and the world broke apart. For a sparse second there was only green and then there was life.

    Green leaves glowing with life, the buzz of insects louder than anything you had ever heard as you found yourself surrounded by rolling hills and sparse forestry. However no matter how long you looked into the forests a version of you never appeared. No Broken mirror showing you the rage you could lose yourself too, no towering image of decay hiding behind the empty trees.

    So you walked forwards curiosity bubbling beneath your scales as your tried to find the link that hid behind this wisp of green. You waded through seas of grass, examining each and every blade as you went. You trod through murky swamps, eyes ever dancing to and fro. From the tiny tadpoles swimming in dirty water, to ambush predators slithering in the branches above your head.

    You walked forever and more, feeling burning in your mind as you saw so many new things. Until watching wasn't enough. So you hunted them, learning how they moved, how they avoided your predatory gaze. Until they couldn't hide and you memorized how they fought back, how they clung to life until they couldn't anymore.

    Then you learned how they functioned, how their hearts beat, How their muscles contracted with each broken bone, how their mind flickered as you pealed back their skull.

    Time was an absent process as you delighted in curiosity, until suddenly you found yourself on top of a two leg.

    It looked familiar somehow as you severed it's spine rolling it over as you cataloged it's every sound, a claw so very sharp as you lined it up just right to open it belly. Experience telling you just were to cut so you could learn how it's insides functioned, something was stopping you, saying something was wrong that this would be a mistake.

    But you were so very curious.

    • Okay so there's the chapter, sorry for the wait for some reason I thought I had already posted this weeks ago.
