Piranhas

An Exhibit in The_Gallery


Time for me:



General:
The humble Piranha plant is a common, invasive, and pervasive species of predatory plants well known throughout the mushroom kingdoms. In recent years, botanists have noticed a great deal of mutation happening in what was once only a single breed of plant, now has become several different and distinct branches in the Piranha plant family tree. Somehow, these prolific plants have managed to cross the nexus between worlds and landed in this one where they have thrived, carving out their own niche in ecosystems around the world. And as with anything else in this world, crazed mad scientists and mages have felt the need to experiment with these plants. Below are just some examples of the results of those experiments that have made their homes in the vicinity of the park and town. Note: Due to the limited amount of original genetic material that first came through the nexus, the vast majority Pirahna plants have very similar appearances, even those that underwent substantial modification have similar appearances with only slight variations. Thus even to all but the most trained eyes it can be difficult to identify individuals within the same sub-type, yet the same piranha plant women (Piranha Sisters as the have come to refer to themselves) seem to have no difficulty in differentiating such individuals apart from one another.


Charliene: (pictured above)
Eyes: Red-in-red
Hair: Leafy Green
Dermis:Pale-White
Main Flower: Cherry-red with white spots and lips
Stem, Leaves: Vibrant Green, serrated leaves.
Bite Radius: 3.4ft
Weight: Unknown
Height: Unknown (Flowerbase-head: 8ft)
Bust: B-cup
Sub-type: Std. Piranha Plant

Charliene is a quiet, unassuming piranha plantess, who has managed to set her roots in the town's sewer system. She's been spotted coming out of man-holes in the streets, as well as out of many service and drainage pipes that can be found in the park and woods; so the true length of her main vine is as yet unknown. It is clear that she has considerable reach and territory due to the many places she's been spotted. True to form, Charliene is an ambush hunter, being tipped off to the presence of approaching prey, she'll pop out of hiding from a pipe, maw snapping at anything within reach. Sometimes however, Charliene will get overexcited and pop out too early, alerting potential prey to her presence. For safety reasons, she usually emerges from her pipe with just her snapping maw, or as much as twelve feet. There have been reports of her rising into the clouds and allowing herself to be climbed when properly convinced or compensated, but these claims have yet to be substantiated. She also has eight vine-like tendrils topped with thorney red pods and a series of thorns beneath each pod. These pods can fire off thorns, seeds, or pollen as a means of defense or entangle limbs as a means of securing prey. Her "nom first and ask questions later" approach makes her a little difficult to get to know, but really she's just an easy-going kind of girl with a really big appetite. She's open to conversation and making friends but only after her first strike, and especially if someone brings her food and/or water. She is terribly afraid of fire, axes, chainsaws, hedge clippers, pruning shears, weed killer, catapillers, and aphids.


Tasha:
Eyes: Orange-in-orange
Hair: Leafy Green
Dermis:Pale-White
Main Flower: Orange with red spots and lips
Stem, Leaves: Vibrant Green, Star-shaped leaves.
Bite Radius: 3.4ft
Weight: Unknown
Height: Unknown (Flowerbase-head: 8ft)
Bust: C-cup
Sub-type: Firebreathing Piranha Plant

If it weren't for her coloration, bust, and choice of environment, Tasha is a hot-headed virtual twin to Charliene, even going so far as to reportedly having all of Charliene's abilities and even her same hunting and social habits. Tasha does have some additional abilities that set her apart from Charliene. First and foremost Tasha can breathe fire from either her chomping maw or her humanoid mouth. From her humanoid mouth, Tasha breathe a two foot plume of flame for up 20 seconds or spit as many as three tiny fireballs at a time, reaching temps of 300 degrees. These "Fire marbles" as Tasha has supposedly referred to them are about 2.5 inches in diameter. She most often spits them in a ballistic trajectory or arc with reasonable accuracy and a range of 15ft, but wil spit them directly at those who pursue her into her pipes and tunnels. These fire marbles, while small are explosive and detonate on impact with a six foot blast radius. From Tasha's toothfilled lower maw, things are slightly different. From that large mouth of hers, this Piranha Plant Girl can breathe a jet of intense fire nearly 10ft long for up a full minute. The large, 3ft diameter fireballs coming from this vicious maw are not explosive, but like the 10ft flames mentioned earlier, burn at over 700 degrees and travel upto 45ft before dissipating. Tasha is a bit less concerned with conversation and making friends, and more concerned with chomping a meal or frying anyone that is a threat or pisses her off. However, if someone is persistent enough, or presents suitable offerings or gifts, Tasha will be more tollerant someone's company, atleast until they get her ticked off. She is stubborn, hot headed, competitive, passionate, and very excitable. Tasha also shares all of Charliene's fears, though she will never admit to it. Tasha has set her roots in the slightly dryer environment of the town's subway and utilities service tunnels. Her territory seems to overlap Charliene's sometimes even sharing the same man-holes just not at the same time. It should also be noted that Tasha seems to have greater access to corporate buildings in town, while Charliene seems to have beter access to municiple buildings like the town hall, and jail house.


Veronique:
Eyes: Left: Blue-in-blue Right:Green-in-green.
Hair: Leafy Green
Dermis:Pale-White
Main Flower: Yellow with White spots and lips
Stem, Leaves: Vibrant Green, Spade-shaped leaves with toothed edges.
Bite Radius: 3.4ft
Weight: 371 lbs.
Height: 8ft
Current Length: 22ft
Bust: A-cup
Sub-type: Walking Piranha Plant

Veronique, whose appearance only differs slightly from that of Tasha's and Charliene's, is a brightly colored piranha plant girl whom most would believe to be a very poor and unsuccessful huntress due to her lack of camouflage or a place to hide in like her "cousins." Infact the opposite is quite true. Unlike other types of piranha plants, the walking piranha plant has no actual roots and so is not tied down to specific locations or limited in reach due to being stuck with part of herself in the ground. Veronique roams freely through the woods and even through the town, though only at night will she dare venture from the safety of the woods and park. Also unlike her cousins above who rely on vibrations, Veronique relys on a highly developed sense of smell and her ability to travel. Through the use of a multitude of pairs of thick, rigid, spade-shaped leave and a highly ttuned vascular system, Veronique can actually walk on her leaves like a centipede and with surprising speed and stamina as well. She doesn't need camouflage because she simple chases after her intended prey until they're trapped or too exhausted to continue trying to flee. Due to the short stems of her leaves, Veronique is a poor jumper, able to manage only a few inches off the ground; however she is an adept climber thanks to the tiny rigid, curved teeth around the edges of her leaves making it easy to grab onto tree bark and rock faces with ease. The roughly 22ft vine trailing behind her tooth filled maw is quite stretchy and elastic so if she can manage to fit something into that mouth of hers, it's going down all the way. The digestive sap inside Veronique's hollow vine makes any damage or cutting self-sealing; and in the even that some length of her vine is completely severed in order to free a still writhing meal within, no onely will the wound seal itself, but the vine will grow back to it's original length over time. Thanks to this regenerative property, Veronique is almost fearless, except in the face of fire and wood chippers. Veronique is aggressive, incredibly stubborn, brazen, and almost single minded when she hunts. However, despite how ravenous she seems, her hunger is not infinite like that of her cousins, being able to stuff only so much into her vine, She will never pass up an oporrtunity to eat unless her vine is already almosted stuffed with food and prey. Once satiated, Veronique is actually quite friendly and gentle, her cravings nolonger driving her actions. Because she lacks roots, Veronique must drink atleast 6 gallons and eat every single day.


Phoebe:
Eyes: Red-in-red
Hair: Leafy Green
Dermis:Pale-White
Main Flower: Red with White spots and lips
Stem, Leaves: Vibrant Green, Serrated leaves.
Bite Radius: 60ft
Weight: Unknown
Height: Unknown (Flowerbase-head: 200ft)
Bust: D-cup
Sub-type: Giant Piranha Plant

Phoebe is atleast appearance wise a gigantic twin to Charliene with the exception of a much larger bust. Her sheer size makes her virtually invulnerable to most forms of attack, however, another giant, wielding giant-sized weapons or carrying a giant-sized torch woud be something of concern to her. Phoebe has burrowed through earth and rock with relative ease often leaving craters where she tends to emerge from. Some on mountain tops, believed to be long excticnt volcanoes, others believed to be anctient meteor impact sights., she has also emerged from desert sands and even from lakes. Phoebe has 8 gigantic main tendrils she uses mainly to defend against and attack military vehicles, planes, and other macro creatures; however she also possess hundreds of much smaller tendrils to attack and capture the much smaller creatures she more commonly finds. Phoebe is voracious and always hungry, she also things of herself as quite the bad ass. She is fond of flattery though and is quite vain, so under the right circumstances her vanity can overpower her hunger.


OOC Notes:
Player welcomes whispers, comments, and friendly chat anytime. The text colors in profile, will match text colors in chat. If approached ICly, I generally respond as Charliene by default unless otherwise requested/specified. I admittedly also have an interest in oviposition and will gladly pump seeds into one of more orifices if asked.

Some Clarifications: Regarding specific sliders.
Being Prey: Veronique is the only prey character for the most part. If you want the others, pitch your idea and if it makes sense, I'll give it a shot.
Sex: They have no discernable gentalia. They'll be limited to oral sex or oviposition with them planting their seed(s) in you. They are not overly sexual characters, but I won't refuse a request. Those interested in playing it out, oviposition will result in the blossoming of Corpseweed
Sliders: All are negotiable except those at -100. Feel free to discuss.
