\begin{Verbatim}[commandchars=\\\{\}] Follower / Lover Idea: Strange Fox This Follower/Lover idea involves modular elements through both player choice at the beginning of the plotline and use of Transformatives. It also ties to prior Vanilla content in the game. Act 1: An Unexpected Introduction \PYZhy{} While exploring the Deepwoods, the Champion can stumble across an exceptionally large Feral fox, about waist\PYZhy{}height to an average human, and probably a bit taller than them if they stood up on their hind legs. \PYZhy{} This fox would be exceptionally friendly to the Champion, sniffing around them and attempting to climb up on them to lick their face. Through this close examination on both sides, the Champion would be able to determine the fox\PYZsq{}s sex, with the description prompting you to note that you see either a sheath and balls, a canine vagina, or both. The Champion\PYZsq{}s thoughts would also state that something about this fox feels...*off*, be it the uncanny, almost humanlike look in its eyes, the unusual size, how it acts, or something else entirely that they can\PYZsq{}t quite put their finger on. \PYZhy{} The Champion could either pet the fox, scold them and shoo them off, or attempt to leave without doing anything. * If praised, the fox would appear happy, and briefly run off to bring the Champion a gift. * If scolded, the fox would run off and would have to be encountered again. * If the Champion didn\PYZsq{}t interact with the fox at all, they would seem confused and disappointed, attempting to place themselves between the Champion and the way back, eager for attention. It could grab a small belonging of the Champion\PYZsq{}s and lead them on a short but merry chase, offering another chance to praise / thank or scold them. \PYZhy{} At the end of the encounter, the Champion would be given an opportunity to invite the fox back to camp, as they reason that the Deepwoods aren\PYZsq{}t safe for a fox with all the hostile entities about, especially the Erlking and his hounds. Act 2: Welcome Home \PYZhy{} When the Champion and their new pet arrive at the Camp, they would be greeted by their Followers / Lovers, who would be eager to know where this fox came from and what the Champion is going to call them. This gives you the opportunity to name the fox. \PYZhy{} After the fox becomes a resident of the camp, they can be found under the \PYZsq{}pets\PYZsq{} menu, like Akky. \PYZhy{} The fox can have scenes where they play with Followers / Lovers in the camp, engage them in amusing antics, often at the latter\PYZsq{}s expense, and play with the Champion\PYZsq{}s children. The fox could also have a few scenes where they attempt to befriend Akky. \PYZhy{} The fox could occasionally find items for the Champion, just like before they were adopted. \PYZhy{} Interacting with the fox would bring up some different options: * Play: The Champion plays with the fox, reducing Corruption and passing time. * Item: The Champion receives an item that the fox procured, or gives a gift to the fox. * Cuddle: The Champion snuggles up close to the fox, and they spend time cuddling. * Feed: The Champion presents the fox with a meal, which they eagerly tuck into. * Sleep (available at night): The champion cuddles up close to the fox, and they sleep together on the Champion\PYZsq{}s bed. * Sex: The Champion decides to share some pleasure with their new companion, with them seeming especially eager about the idea when realizing the situation after a bit of foreplay. Depending on the fox\PYZsq{}s sex, the options can include: \PYZti{} Fellatio (Champ gives): Fox is Male / Herm, Champ is any sex \PYZti{} Cunnilingus (Champ gives): Fox is Female / Herm, Champ is any sex \PYZti{} Fingering (Champ gives): Fox is Female / Herm, Champ is any sex \PYZti{} Handjob (Champ gives): Fox is Male / Herm, Champ is any sex \PYZti{} Oral / Lickjob (Fox gives): Fox is any sex, Champ is any sex \PYZti{} Vaginal penetration (Champ gives): Fox is Female / Herm, Champ is Male / Herm \PYZti{} Anal Penetration (Champ gives): Fox is any sex, Champ is Male / Herm. \PYZti{} Double Penetration (Champ gives): Fox is Female / Herm, Champ is Male / Herm and has at least two penises. \PYZti{} Mounting \PYZhy{} Anal (Fox gives): Fox is Male / Herm, Champion is any sex. \PYZti{} Mounting \PYZhy{} Vaginal (Fox gives): Fox is Male / Herm, Champ is Female / Herm Act 3: Research and (Transformative) Development \PYZhy{} If Rathazul is a resident at the Camp, the second phase of this idea goes into effect. \PYZhy{} Some time after the fox has settled into Camp life, the Champion will find Rathazul inspecting them closely, seeming lost deep in thought. Rathazul will confirm the Champion\PYZsq{}s prior musings, mentioning that this is more than just a normal fox, and suggesting that the Champion should experiment with how the fox reacts to certain items. \PYZhy{} At this point, the Champion will be given the ability to slip some items into the fox\PYZsq{}s food before feeding them. \PYZhy{} Different items will have different effects, and one or more can be given at a time: \PYZti{} Lust / Fuck Draft: Raises the fox\PYZsq{}s libido, causing them to instantly become aroused, and seems to send them into rut / heat / both. \PYZti{} Lolipop: Gradually regresses the fox\PYZsq{}s age, going from Adult \PYZhy{}\PYZgt{} Adolescent \PYZhy{}\PYZgt{} Juvenile \PYZhy{}\PYZgt{} Kit. \PYZti{} Purified Incubi Draft: Makes the fox grow a canine penis and balls (turning them Herm) if Female, or removes the vagina if already Herm. (Like experimenting with Ember\PYZsq{}s egg.) \PYZti{} Purified Succubi Milk: Makes the fox grow a canine vagina (turning them Herm) if Male, or removes their penis / balls if already Herm. \PYZti{} Succubi\PYZsq{}s Delight: Increases the fox\PYZsq{}s cum production and makes them more energetic during sex. \PYZti{} Vitality Elixir: Gives the fox more energy and stamina, and gives them the zoomies. \PYZti{} Scholar\PYZsq{}s Tea: Can initially only be given once, but it seems to sharpen the fox\PYZsq{}s mind, causing them to seemingly understand the Champion\PYZsq{}s words. To the Champion\PYZsq{}s shock, the fox actually utters the Champion\PYZsq{}s name, but they then immediately bolt out of the cabin, leaving the Champion confounded. Act 4: Eureka! \PYZhy{} A short time after the Scholar\PYZsq{}s Tea event occurs, Rathazul will come to the Champion and reveal a breakthrough: He\PYZsq{}s deduced that the fox wasn\PYZsq{}t always a fox. He mentions that he\PYZsq{}s created a special food additive node as DeTherium (functioning similarly to Humannus) that will gradually return the fox to their original self, but instructs them to not give the fox all of it in a single dose, as there\PYZsq{}s no way to tell if this was a natural Foxmorph or a Human before being transformed, and Rathazul would not like to go too far if the former was true. \PYZhy{} Rathazul also suggests that you continue dosing the fox with Scholar\PYZsq{}s Tea, so that you can restore more of their mind and hopefully get some answers as to how this happened to them. \PYZhy{} At this point in time, the fox can speak a few words at a time, but mostly acts like they originally did pre\PYZhy{}dose. \PYZhy{} The fox can be dosed with any of the previous transformatives, as well as DeTherium. DeTherium and Scholar\PYZsq{}s Tea now have their own gradual stages which function independently of each other, allowing the player to choose a balance they desire. \PYZhy{} DeTherium gradually works the fox\PYZsq{}s body further up the Furry Scale as it restores their lost humanity. * This goes from: \PYZti{} Feral \PYZhy{}\PYZgt{} Semi\PYZhy{}Feral (can comfortably stand on hind legs and has enhanced manipulation of forepaws, letting them grip and manipulate items, but still has a mostly Feral body plan, see https://e621.net/wiki\PYZus{}pages/1588) \PYZti{} Semi\PYZhy{}Feral \PYZhy{}\PYZgt{} Low Anthro (a fair bit more humanoid, but still very much animalistic, with small breasts if Female / Herm) \PYZti{} Low Anthro \PYZhy{}\PYZgt{} High Anthro (Mostly humanoid body plan, along with larger breasts depending on the fox\PYZsq{}s current age) \PYZti{} High Anthro \PYZhy{}\PYZgt{} Kemonomimi / Foxgirl/boy (Mostly human, but with fox paws for hands / feet, fox ears atop the head, a fox nose dotted with whiskers, sharpened teeth and a fox tongue, and a fox tail, as well as fox genitalia appropriate for their sex). \PYZti{} Another dose after they reach Kemonomimi stage transforms their genitalia into human genitalia, and another after that turns their paws into human hands and feet. * Semi\PYZhy{}Feral / Low Anthro and above give the opportunity to have the fox put their new opposable digits to work, allowing the Champion to receive handjobs / fingering from them. * Anything beyond Feral / Semi\PYZhy{}Feral also causes them to assume a more Humanoid age range, translating to: \PYZti{} Adult(F) = Young Adult (A/H) \PYZti{} Adolescent(F) = Teen (A/H) \PYZti{} Juvenile(F) = Preteen(A/H) \PYZti{} Kit(F) = Small Child(A/H) * Starting as an extremely rare occurence from Feral and gradually increasing at each stage toward Foxboy/girl, the Champion has a chance of impregnating the fox, or being impregnated by them. The resulting offspring reflect the fox\PYZsq{}s current body state. \PYZhy{} Scholar\PYZsq{}s Tea helps the fox (at any state of transformation) retrieve their mind. * The first dose after Rathazul\PYZsq{}s discovery allows them to speak in full sentences (but they still retain their animal instinct. * The second allows them to remember their name, introducing themselves as Rey (if the player initially chose them to be Male) or Vix (if the player initially chose them to be Female / Herm). Act 5: An Unfortunate Encounter * Each dose after that gradually sharpens their faculties and returns their lost memories, allowing them to share their story: \PYZti{} Rey/Vix was a Human Adventurer who was a massive Kitsune fanboy/fangirl, and searched the Deepwoods (against the warnings of their townsfolk) for a way to become one, and ended up encountering the Manor Sisters in the heart of the woods. \PYZti{} The Kitsune triplets invited the starstruck Adventurer into their home for a meal, but, when they inquired about how to become one, the Sisters, intent on keeping their secret and sensing an opportunity for mischief, deceived their gullible guest into overdosing on Fox Berries, telling them that they simply had to keep eating them, no matter how foxlike they became. \PYZti{} After Rey/Vix had fully transformed into a fox, and lost their prior memories / human intelligence, the Manor Sisters decided to keep them around as a pet / plaything, until they eventually grew bored of their toy and abandoned them in the Deepwoods to fend for themself. This ended up being a few days before the Champion initially encounters them. Act 7: Moving Forward \PYZhy{} At this point in the memory restoration process, with clear two\PYZhy{}way communication possible, the Champion now needs to talk Rey/Vix into taking transformatives that aren\PYZsq{}t DeTherium or Scholar\PYZsq{}s Tea, with them possibly having their own preference on where they wish to stay at the moment. They may also make a comment depending on whether the Champion regressed their age or changed their sex before restoring their mind. They also point out that they remember having sex with the Champion if they did so before their mind was restored, but they don\PYZsq{}t mind it, and admit that they do find the Champion rather attractive, being still open to continuing the sexual relationship. \PYZhy{} After Rey/Vix recovers enough of their mind, they admit they\PYZsq{}re upset that their quest turned out to be a dud, and the Champion can choose to bring them to the Deepwoods Temple, informing them about the power of Fox Jewels. The Champion watches as Rey/Vix meditates at Taoth\PYZsq{}s Shrine, and eventually grows a second tail, successfully becoming a Kitsune. \PYZhy{} After this, Rey/Vix thanks the Champion, and requests if they can stay at the Camp full\PYZhy{}time, as they have nowhere else to go. The Champion agrees, and Rey/Vix moves into the camp as a Lover / Follower. \PYZhy{} At the Camp, Rey/Vix now has a special dialogue option regarding attaining Kitsunehood, in which they absent\PYZhy{}mindedly let slip that, while being a Kitsune is all they dreamed of, and they\PYZsq{}re extremely grateful to the Champion, after spending so long as a Feral fox, it occasionally feels extremely good to let their mind blank and return to their basic instincts. \PYZti{} The Champion playfully calls them out on this, embarrassing them, and tells the flustered Kitsune that they can think of a few ways to indulge them. \PYZti{} This effectively opens up a \PYZsq{}free mode\PYZsq{} regarding transformations, as the Champion can have Rey/Vix shapeshift / clear their mind to change their sex, age, place on the Furry Scale, and how animalistic they think / act to their liking. \PYZti{} Notably, some of the Camp recruits are weirded out by this, but figure that it\PYZsq{}s fine, as nobody\PYZsq{}s being hurt by the agreement. \PYZhy{} Rey/Vix can also be sparred with, and, after enough sessions, can be taken to the Shrine again and gifted with more Jewels in order to gain more tails (up to becoming a 9\PYZhy{}Tails), which increases their strength during sparring. \end{Verbatim}
