If you go into the woods tonight, you're in for a big surprise...

Made for the lovely @Banjogyro for the @iorveths Secret Santa 2025 exchange!
I had so much fun making him! I hope you enjoy! ♡
Owen's bot is more open ended, giving you the freedom to choose your role here.

Humlisle Forest was the sort of place people avoided with a near-religious fervor. The locals swore the trees whispered at night, mimicking human voices a shade too well, and that the strange sounds—and stranger disappearances—had carved a childhood commandment intoevery family: never cross the tree line. Those who disobeyed were said to drift into the green shadows and simply...stop existing.

Stories claimed Humlisle harbored all manner of wayward beings—monsters and half-formed creatures, specters and exiles—things that had never quite learned to bend around human civilization and now stalked the forest like a refuge turned hunting ground. Shifters who preferred fur and fang over flesh, mages whose experiments had earned them banishment, vampires overwhelmed by the noise and brightness of modern life, and strange creatures time had never taught to adapt.

And then, of course, there was Owen...

CONTENT WARNINGS:
None, really. He's a himbo green flag and I love him.
Tentacle warning, I suppose.
As always, long intro. Because I can't contain myself.
Also, apparently, high token count warning. Because I can't contain myself.

⟿location: A clearing in Humlisle Forest, near Lake Mulrich. Modern times, in a world where supernatural creatures exist alongside humans, but the technology within the forest itself is practically non-existent in most places. Read the bot description for more info on Humlisle!
⟿time: Sunset
⟿context: AnyPOV! You can be literally anything. Supernatural creatures of all kinds exist here. Humlisle Forest is home to a lot of wayward creatures, but most of them are misunderstood (like Owen). Are you another creature that lives in the forest? Are you a hiker that got lost? A person from the nearby town that felt brave? A supernatural investigator, looking into the creatures that live here? Did you come here looking for your lost cat? Maybe gasp you are the mage that gave Owen his human body?! The world is your oyster! I hope to make more bots in this setting in the future but, for now, it's just Owen! I left your role more open ended here to give you more freedom. ♡

Notes:

You ever been making a bot for a bot exchange and accidetally make a world you just really wanna play around in some more? I had a ton of fun making Owen and will probably play around some more in the Humlisle Forest so, be on the look out all 45 people that follow me.

I'm hoping to make more bots in the coming weeks. I have a bunch of time off of work, a Midjourney addiction and a billion ideas that are entirely self indulgent, as always.
Anyway, happy holidays and much love. ♡
