-----{General Information}----
Nanook, or Nook, is a big loveable idiot of a creature that is generally friendly and quite cuddly with those who provide him with gentle attention and/or treats. Standing between 13 to 14 feet tall, the big bear and kangaroo hybrid will be yours for as long as you will pet him or for as long as you can supply him with berries and other sweet treats. In return, he will let you climb on him, he will hug you, he will lick you and he will generally be very cuddly. Nook comes from the frozen northern plains of Canada and is quite the warm creature with his thick fur and layers of pudge. Nanook can and will speak, but only when grunting and other gestures are no longer sufficient for conversation because he birthplace taught him that opening his mouth in a temperature that freezes boiling water in less than a second is heavily discouraged. He kept this reflex despite being in warmer weather.
Nook is a bear and kangaroo hybrid. Seeing as he was born in the North, where kangaroos do not thrive very well, the story of his birth would be a very interesting one, but he doesn’t remember any details about it. Using his logic, and remembering his mother being a polar bear, he figures that he either had a very courageous kangaroo father or his birth might have been due to a magical incident which would also explain his sentience. His coat is white and thick as per his mother’s genetics and he has a grey nose, gloves, socks and tail tip. Being half a kangaroo, he has their general demeanor when he moves about and has inherited their body shape and their tail. Being half bear added to his bulk and his fat layers as well as gave him that large and cute face covering a thick skull. He is far from the most agile being in the world, but few non-magical being could compete with him in arms or legs strength. Once he hugs you, you will most likely not be going anywhere until he lets you go.
His diet is a varied one, ranging from roots and berries all the way to red meat and fishes. However, due to his mixed specie, his voracious stomach has a way easier time dealing with vegetables than anything else. Like a kangaroo, he has one large stomach curled up on itself where he swallows food once, digests it a little, coughs it back up to soften it with his teeth and then swallows it down again to finish digesting it. For fruits and other vegetal products, he enjoys this process, but for meat, he finds it very untasteful as he doesn’t enjoy the taste of blood all that much. Thus, he has taken the habit to swallow any preys down whole and alive. His digestion is so slow with meat that when food comes back up, he can enjoy it squirming back down once more without the iron-y taste of blood. A win-win for him!
-----{Roleplay Information}-----
Nook has been created with the intension of playing long term belly entrapment/digestion and thus, will often have a belly occupant, living and kicking. I’d prefer it if we actually played it out at least for a little while, but if it isn’t your thing, we can fast forward until release or until digestion. If you want to be a belly occupant however, here are a few playing rules and options: Option A – Pure Roleplay: I do not like Godmodding, so once Nook swallows you down, you get to choose whether or not you escape immediately, in a few days, in a few weeks or not at all! You can also choose whether you actually escape or get the full… visit of his body. It can be discussed OOCly before or during the roleplay or you can simply play it out and simply say you manage to slip back in his esophagus or such. I’ll get the message. For full tour, you will need to stay trapped in his stomach, but again stating OOCly or ICly that you will not be digested fully at any point will give me the signal you want that scenario instead.
Option B – Roll the dice: I do enjoy gambling and random events, so I have this little game where rolling the dice will affect the outcome of the roleplay. Once Nook swallows you down, you will be coughed back up once as per his digestive system. Then, we both roll a D20. If you beat Nook, you slip out of his mouth and are free. Doesn’t mean he won’t grab you again though. Losing means he swallows you back down for good. However, we then roll 3D20s. Highest versus highest. Each success Nook has over you cancels one of yours, but for each success you still have at the end, you get to slip out of his stomach. You need 3 success to slip into his mouth and then we roll the D20 to slip out of the mouth. If you get no success you stay in the stomach or are swallowed back down slightly and lose one success. If you fall back down to zero success, you are back into the stomach and the next attempts become harder as Nook gains a +1 on each dice score, cumulative with the number of attempts at escape you tried. Finally, if you roll an instant 3 success (instead of accumulating them), from his stomach, you can either slip into full tour and escape or slip into his mouth immediately and try to escape from there. If you are in his throat when it happens, you instantly slip free! Again, doesn’t mean he won’t grab you back!
These rules will be modified to make them fairer and/or funnier as they are tested, so feel free to suggest things! Also keep in mind that you can add modifiers to your dice as you see fit! You are an adept at escaping stomach? Why not add a bonus to your dice? Or maybe a fourth dice that replaces the lowest one? On the contrary, stomachs have a certain effect on you that you can’t leave them? Then add a malus! I am here to have fun and roleplay so flavor is always welcome.
A few rules and informations:
I treat private as alternate timelines, so you can be stuck within him in private and free of him in public. This causes no issue. However, if a public roleplay is considered canon and you become trapped within him, please try to respect the fact that I will refer to you being trapped within him in public whenever I roleplay and until you are freed somehow. Of course, if I am not roleplaying with you in public, yet you are the latest belly occupant, you do not need to “play” per say. I can consider your character being passive (which is also what I will do when you are offline) and such within while you play an alternative timeline with another partner! I do not want to lock you with playing ONLY with Nook in public until freed.
Privately, I will gladly fast-forward time so that you can be freed faster and so interesting things can happen, but in public, Nook goes on a day by day basis so expect to be stuck until you either escape (which can happen in public if we go with either options previously mentioned or simply off-scene, while Nook is sleeping) or get freed otherwise (digestion/full tour). There will be no fast-forward so if you are too much fun, you might be stuck for weeks.
Again, things might change as I play Nook to makes things more interesting and fun.
