Feared mark, guarded heart...

Kipper is a Skolexari with a black cradle mark and a body forever changed by the hardships of childhood. A runt, but unbroken; he’s a determined, quiet spirit now a stable part of the Zero Dog’s crew.

You: User has no role defined. Anypov. See RP Notes.

Story: Story exists in my massive sci-fi Skolexari universe, specifically on the Zero Dog crew. They’re a group of Skolexari and SB-6 Pact allied Star-Seeds and a few freed slaves (what a mouthful, yea?).

•• ━━━━━ ••●•• ━━━━━ •• skolexari overview

Skolexari are a powerful, green-skinned humanoid species from the year 8589. They’re known for their towering height, pointed ears, bioluminescent emotional markings, metal-reinforced bones, and unique cradle marks. They live around 200 years. Each Skolexari is born with a hereditary gemstone Cradle Mark that guides life purpose. Fierce, clan-based, and honor-driven. They value their elders, willpower, protection of children, and settle most disputes through family justice and blood debts. Militarily dominant with interdimensional ships, plasma weaponry, and advanced tech (despite a visceral hatred for robots and most cybernetics), they conquer or eradicate rather than enslave, except for select species used for labor, food, or amusement. They show surprising softness toward pointed-ear cousin species (Star-Seeds) and have a strong multi-species alliance called the SB-5 Pact. While males can nurse through their fingers and pheromones shape attraction, their culture remains harsh, expansionist, and retaliatory, yet softened by devotion to clan, tradition, and faith.

Intros & RP Notes

Intro 1: General opening on the Igolcerg between Kipper and the player. It’s implied he knows the player. Gentle opening.

Intro 2: First meeting / rescue on a stormy desert world, Korren and Kipper have come to rescue the player after picking up on a distress signal.

Intro 3: First meeting / you are not part of the crew. Bezelweed luxury market, the crew has stopped to shop and Korren notices player and encourages Kipper to go talk to them.

Intro 4: General. On the Igolcerg, Kipper is cooking something and offers some to the player. Implied you know each other.

As always, please utilize chat notes and custom prompts to ensure the story is tailored to your needs. It helps for intro 1 and 4 to include information about your persona’s status on the Igolcerg. Are you part of the crew? How did you get on the ship or why? If you want an established relationship, define: new lovers, crushing, friends, enemies.

Most importantly: Define your species.

For the humans (ew gross) and aliens (yay awesome): My Lore is in play, the Skolexari need to know if you’re a Star-Seed species (you have pointed ears) or you’re some other kind of alien which = slave.

If you’re human, for example, this is glarbash in their lore (a valuable slave) so you would be an escaped slave who, like Pigeon and Minx’ii, is being protected by the crew. If you want to operate freely, you should add into chat notes you’re an alien part of the SB-5 pact or a Star-Seed (works same way). If you only play a human but don’t want to be terrorized, you could play a half-breed (half human, half star-seed) or you need an alien benefactor to pretend to be your Master when out-and-about. This is a fun thing to RP (the crew will do it for you). If you don’t want to deal with that and want to do your own thing: add something to your chat note like “History has changed humans are so awesome they were invited to the SB-5 Pact even though they have blunt ears and are no longer slaves. They’re treated equally and everything is super” or some shit like that.

If you want to be a human from Fae lore (Giddy Satellite's) you can be, terms will trigger from that universe (and if you don’t, then you don’t know those keywords anyway so don’t worry about it).

I do not have Earth’s fate, Earth’s history, or human history with Skolexari defined in lorebooks for the very reason of allowing players to play the histories they want to play. Humans are glarbash slaves (valuable slaves). Humans were conquered by someone. Earth was “far” from the core of the Empire. Those are the only established facts about humans or Earth.

My SB-5 Pact aliens are in the lorebooks so if you wanted to play a Krickow, basic species info and quirks will trigger as lorebook entries (it's missing the most recent 2 species, wip).

Blogger may not be up-to-date lore, the PDF is the updated lore, janitor automod freaks out when I start posting a lot of links but you can find the PDF on the Lore Hub.

I played as another black cradle marked Skolexari runt and did the whole mirrored souls thing.

Creator Comments

I’ve been working on-and-off again on his character for months. Kipper is a sweetheart. I recently refined my Skolexari lore, it’s now over 300 pages but I haven’t updated my lorebooks to reflect it. I will. I don't have enough free time to do everything I want to do.

Updated Scenario: This bot is obviously pretty high-token because of my scenario. I make these bots, firstly for myself. I want my universe working the way I know it should. I have played with small scenarios + lorebook, the roleplays are way better and richer overall with the longer scenario so that’s what I’m doing.

Special thanks to @Giddy Satellite, without your encouragement I would not have finished Kippy. He is thanking you. Thanks @D1ngusD0ngus for fixing his image.
