could you please tell us (under the cut of course XD) how the animals change our appearence? i am one of those who enjoys planing characters (legit in rpg games i like to spoil the whole story in order to create a character who fits thematically into it, so i can play it like a movie XD)
okay! i'm finally ready to answer this one in full haha... i've been waiting until i'd written all of this stuff so that i don't end up contradicting myself (which, i have finished writing all these choices now! which means i'm almost at the point where i'm ready to post the demo!! however, my laptop did decide to start trying to die on me recently so i'm not going to make grand plans for a release date in fear of jinxing myself...)
if anyone is worried about spoilers, definitely don't click this readmore link... otherwise, if you're curious, i'll go over some of the cc aspects for the possible demon forms under the cut!
there's a number of special choices for customisation, but the chief demonic-related ones are skin colour options based on what sin you end up selecting as your main aspect, and animal-inspired demonic forms.
Special Skin Colours
not everybody has to choose an inhuman skin tone; every player will have access to a choice of the range of regular skin colours, plus 1 special option based on the mc's sin aspect
Envy - emerald green
Gluttony - dusky rose pink
Greed - glittering gold
Pride - regal purple
Sloth - midnight blue
Wrath - blood red
Sinless - luminous silver
Animal-Inspired Demon Archetype
contrary to the skin options, every mc does have to choose an animal aspect that influences their demon form. everyone has access to a choice of 6, plus 1 extra based on their sin aspect (i've mentioned this in previous asks but am repeating it just for the sake of making this particular answer comprehensive).
i'll go over the specifics of what each option entails here! i will clarify first that the mcs always remain Mostly humanoid, as having to account for. beaks and snouts and so forth would create So Much variation in intimate scenes... too much for me to handle lmao. sorry if that's a disappointment but i am sadly only human!
Bat (always available)
leathery bat wings attached to the underside of mc's arms, reach from the underarm and torso below it down to the wrist. the colour of these matches the mc's skintone (whatever it may be)
long fingernails (not necessarily sharp) coloured silvery grey
ears replaced with fuzzy bat ears, the fur also being silvery grey
long sharp canine teeth like vampire fangs
Crow (always available)
feathered wings sprouting from the back (similar in shape and size to basically every portrayal of angels in popular culture), with glossy black feathers; these wings are Heavy
downy black feathers in places over the rest of the mc's body, chiefly in places of softer skin (ie. the insides of the wrists + the soft skin of the inner arm, hollow of the elbow, throat and around the sides of the face, the backs of the legs)
Crocodile (always available)
a long scaly tail covered in proper crocodile scutes (although i don't use that word in game because i'd have to stop everything to explain it lol). the colour of the tail matches the mc's other scales, which are just a few shades darker than the mc's skintone... it's long enough that the end will always drag on the ground behind mc no matter how tall they are; this tail is also Heavy
long sharp fingernails (not proper claws, but still sharp) and webbing between the fingers
sharp teeth for chomping
scales on areas of softer skin (as mentioned in the crow explanation) for protection
the crocodile form has some extra tall height options
Lion (always available)
lion tail, covered in golden-brown fur with a little tuft of fur at the end; flicks around like a regular cat/lion tail based on mc's emotions
lion mane in the same golden-brown colour as the tail framing the mc's face
ears replaced with furry round lion ears
long sharp fingernails (not proper claws, but still sharp) and sharp teeth for chomping
Peacock (always available)
feathered wings attached to the underside of mc's arms, reach from the back of the shoulder down to the wrist. these are coloured blue-green like a regular peacock's wings.
a tail of peacock tail plumes (coloured again like a regular peacock tail); these are long and a bit unwieldy but not particularly Heavy as such. at the start of the game, a peacock!mc doesn't really have any control over what the tail does - it will instinctively open and Display when the mc feels as though they're receiving positive attention or are Trying to get it. however, if you choose to play a particularly lawful character, over time you will be able to make it do specifically only what you want
long fingernails (not necessarily sharp) coloured blue-green like the feathers
eyelashes in varying shades of blue and green with golden tips
Scorpion (always available)
scorpion tail with a stinger at the end, covered in chitinous plates and coloured black; this tail is Heavy and unwieldy. like the peacock tail, the scorpion tail starts off reacting to mc's emotions (though anger or fear in this case) but can eventually be controlled if the mc is a particularly lawful character.
hard ridged skin covering areas of softer skin (as mentioned previously) and the outside of joints for protection
Moth (additional choice available with Envy)
fuzzy wings sprouting from the back (similar in shape and size to basically every portrayal of fairies in popular culture), which are coloured milky-white with mysterious patterns in iridescent blue and green and yellow that seem to shift and change as the light hits them.
fuzzy moth antennae sprouting from the forehead; these are sensitive like cat whiskers and basically sense vibrations in the air. they're coloured the same as mc's hair (mc's body hair if mc happens to be bald)
Bear (additional choice available with Gluttony)
long sharp fingernails (not proper claws, but still sharp) and sharp teeth for chomping
thick fur covering parts of mc's skin (in the same colour as mc's natural hair/bodyhair), starting at the side of mc's face, down the outer sides of the neck to cover the shoulders and collarbones and then down the outsides of the arms and torso and outer side and front of the legs
ears replaced with furry round bear ears
taller and broader than the original size of mc - the bear form has the most extra tall height options
Raccoon (additional choice available with Greed)
bushy furry raccoon tail in the standard black-and-white-striped raccoon colours; flicks around based on mc's emotions
long fingernails (not necessarily sharp) coloured black
ears replaced with black-and-white-furred semicircular raccoon ears
a change to the pigmentation of skin on mc's face to give the distinctive mask shape that raccoon's are famous for - a pure black skin pigmentation in the shape of the mask running horizontally in a strip around the eyes and a stripe down the mc's nose, plus pure white eyelashes and eyebrows
Stag (additional choice available with Pride)
digitigrade legs with hooves (picture basically every portrayal of fauns and satyrs in popular culture), with soft velvety fur in the mc's natural hair/body hair colour covering the legs below the knee; the hooves are split like proper deer hooves
small stubby furry deer tail
antlers sprouting from the forehead (deer antlers, typically the type people associate with reindeer and other smaller species, rather than elk antlers), which are coloured brown; these are Heavy
Snake (additional choice available with Sloth)
long sharp snake fangs that retract and can be deployed if the mc wants for self-defence, descending down in front of the regular teeth
snake scales covering large parts of mc's skin - basically all of the mc's body except for areas of softer skin (face, throat, chest and belly, palms of the hands and soft inner arms, inner thighs and pelvis, etc.). the scales are iridescent and diamond-shaped, coloured variously icy blue and white with shifting patterns
Bull (additional choice available with Wrath)
digitigrade legs with hooves (same as the stag version except without the fur, and the hooves are broader and rounder like proper cow hooves)
cow tail covered in fur in the mc's natural hair/body hair colour with a small tuft of hair at the end; flicks around based on mc's emotions
bull horns sprouting from the mc's temples that branch out before curving upwards and coloured black; these are Heavy
woo... that's a lot of info haha. i'm sure nobody will read all of this and just look for their favourites but wow did this take me a while XD all the things i had to learn... how do scorpions eat, what are the bumps on crocodile's backs called... feathers sprout from bird's skin from little holes called "invaginations"............ hoo boy
hopefully this is fun enough for everyone! too much more variation would be just. A Lot lmao
you may also have noticed that if you choose a fancy skin colour you can make a very Strange-looking mc... i'm not planning to restrict this (in fact the next thing i'm writing is all of the "you've never seen a green lion before but Somehow this has happened to you" options lmfao) if that's what you want to do XD
once again... hope you enjoy! i had a lot of fun with these, even though it took me a while haha
