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. The character is referred to with she/her pronouns in this document, but can be changed into any sex.

It also ties to prior Vanilla content in the game.


                                                                   



                                                                Act 1: An Unexpected Introduction


- While exploring the Deepwoods, the Champion can stumble across an exceptionally large Feral fox, about waist-height to an average human, and probably a bit taller than them if they stood up on their hind legs.

- 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's sex as female. The Champion'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't quite put their finger on.

They would then realize that the fox actually seems to have fingers. It turns out that the fox's digits on her front paws are semi-opposable, allowing her to grip onto things and manipulate objects.

- 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't interact with the fox at all, she 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's and lead them on a short but merry chase, offering another chance to praise / thank or scold her.

- 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't safe for a fox with all the hostile entities about, especially the Erlking and his hounds.


                                                                         




                                                                             Act 2: Welcome Home


- 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 her. This gives you the opportunity to name the fox.

- After the fox becomes a resident of the camp, she can be found under the 'pets' menu, like Akky.

- The fox can have scenes where she plays with Followers / Lovers in the camp, engages them in amusing antics, often at the latter's expense, and plays with the Champion's children. The fox could also have a few scenes where she attempts to befriend Akky, to the bemusement (and eventual acceptance) of the cat.

- The fox could occasionally find items for the Champion, just like before she was adopted.

- Interacting with the fox would bring up some different options:

* Play: The Champion innocently plays with the fox, or decides to do something a bit...naughtier.

~ in her Play menu, you can choose to either play with a toy (rubber ball, teddy bear, etc.), which reduces Corruption, or 'play' with a 'toy' (use one of the Champion's sexual paraphernalia on her, such as one of their dildos / onaholes), which raises Lust.

* 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 she eagerly tucks into. This is expanded upon in a later stage.

* Sleep (available at night): The champion cuddles up close to the fox, and they sleep together on the Champion's bed.

* Sex: The Champion decides to share some pleasure with their new companion, with her seeming especially eager about the idea when realizing the situation after a bit of foreplay.

** Depending on the fox's sex (more on that later), the options can include:

~ Fellatio (Champ gives): Fox is Male / Herm, Champ is any sex

~ Cunnilingus (Champ gives): Fox is Female / Herm, Champ is any sex

~ Fingering (Champ gives): Fox is Female / Herm, Champ is any sex

~ Fingering (Fox gives): Fox is any sex, Champ is Female / Herm 

~ Handjob (Champ gives): Fox is Male / Herm, Champ is any sex

~ Two-Pawed Handjob (Fox gives): Fox is any sex, Champ is Male / Herm

~ Lapping / Deep Cunnilingus (Fox gives): Fox is any sex, Champ is Female / Herm

~ Lickjob / Deep Throat (Fox gives): Fox is any sex, Champ is Male / Herm

~ Vaginal penetration (Champ gives): Fox is Female / Herm, Champ is Male / Herm

~ Anal Penetration (Champ gives): Fox is any sex, Champ is Male / Herm.

~ Double Penetration (Champ gives): Fox is Female / Herm, Champ is Male / Herm and has at least two penises.

~ Mounting - Anal (Fox gives): Fox is Male / Herm, Champion is any sex.

~ Mounting - Vaginal (Fox gives): Fox is Male / Herm, Champ is Female / Herm

  
                                                                     


                                                                  Act 3: Research and (Transformative) Development

- If Rathazul is a resident at the Camp, the second phase of this character goes into effect.

- 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'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.

- At this point, the Champion will be given the ability to slip some items into the fox's food before feeding them.

- Different items will have different effects, and one or more can be given at a time:

~ Lust / Fuck Draft: Raises the fox's libido, causing them to instantly become aroused, and seems to send them into rut / heat / both, increasing the chance of impregnating or being impregnated by them when having sex.

~ Lolipop: Gradually regresses the fox's age, going from Adult -> Juvenile -> Kit.

~ 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's egg.)

~ Purified Succubi Milk: Restores the Fox's canine vagina (turning them Herm) if currently Male, or removes their penis / balls if already Herm, returning them to their base Female state.

~ Vitality Elixir: Gives the fox more energy and stamina, and leads to an amusing scene where the Elixir gives them the zoomies.

~ Scholar's Tea: Can initially only be given once, but it seems to sharpen the fox's mind, causing them to seemingly understand the Champion's words. To the Champion's shock, the fox actually utters the Champion's name, but then immediately bolts out of the cabin, leaving the Champion confounded.



                                                                     Act 4: Eureka!

- A short time after the Scholar's Tea event occurs, Rathazul will come to the Champion and reveal a breakthrough: He's deduced that the fox wasn't always a fox. He mentions that he's created a special food additive known 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'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.

- Rathazul also suggests that you continue dosing the fox with Scholar's Tea, so that you can restore more of their mind and hopefully get some answers as to how this happened to them.

- At this point in time, the fox can speak a few words at a time, but mostly acts like they originally did pre-dose.

- The fox can be dosed with any of the previous transformatives, as well as DeTherium. DeTherium and Scholar's Tea now have their own gradual stages which function independently of each other, allowing the player to choose a balance they desire.

- DeTherium gradually works the fox's body further up the Furry Scale as it restores their lost humanity.


* This goes from:

~ Semi-Feral (base state, 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, think the Felynes from Monster Hunter; see https://e621.net/wiki_pages/1588) -> Anthro (a fair bit more humanoid, with small breasts if Female / Herm, but still looking mostly foxlike)

~ Anthro -> Kemonomimi [Foxgirl/boy] (Mostly human, but with padded, furry 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).

~ Another dose after they reach Kemonomimi stage transforms their genitalia into human genitalia.

* Anything beyond full Feral also causes them to assume a more Humanoid age range, translating to:

~ Adult(F) = Young Adult (A/K)

~ Juvenile(F) = Teen (A/K)

~ Kit(F) = Small Child(A/K)

* Starting as an extremely rare occurence from Semi-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's current body state, and would be added to the fox's interaction menu, as well as having interaction events with each other, the Champion's other children, and the Champion's other Lovers / Followers.



- Scholar's Tea helps the fox (at any state of transformation) retrieve their mind.

* After Rathazul's discovery, a second dose allows her to speak in full sentences (but she still retains her animal instincts), and she remembers her name, introducing herself as Vix.




                                                       Act 5: An Unfortunate Encounter



* A third and final dose completely sharpens her faculties and returns their lost memories, allowing her to share her story:

~ Vix was a Human Adventurer who was a massive Kitsune fangirl, and searched the Deepwoods (against the warnings of her fellow townsfolk) for a way to become one, and ended up encountering the Manor Sisters in the heart of the woods.

~ The Kitsune triplets invited the starstruck Adventurer into their home for a meal, but, when she 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 her that she simply had to keep eating them, no matter how foxlike she became.

~ After Vix had fully transformed into a fox, and lost her prior memories / human intelligence, the Manor Sisters decided to keep her around as a pet / plaything, until they eventually grew bored of their toy and abandoned her in the Deepwoods to fend for herself. This ended up being a few days before the Champion initially encounters her.


                                                              Act 7: Moving Forward


- At this point, with clear two-way communication possible, the Champion now needs to talk Rey/Vix into taking transformatives that aren't DeTherium, with her possibly having her own preference on where they wish to stay at the moment. She may also make a comment depending on whether the Champion regressed her age or changed her sex before restoring her mind. She also points out that she remembers having sex with the Champion if they did so before her mind was restored, but she doesn't mind it, and admits that she does find the Champion rather attractive, being still open to continuing the sexual relationship.

- If the Champion is a Kitsune (especially an Enlightened Nine-Tails) before Vix reaches the end of her questline, she will treat the Champion with great respect bordering on reverence, due to her being such a big Kitsune groupie.

- A post-awakening Vix can have a few scenes at the Camp where she introduces herself in earnest to the rest of the Camp, explaining how she is the same fox that the Champion arrived at the camp with before.


- After Vix recovers her memories, she admits that she's upset that her quest turned out to be a failure, and the Champion can choose to bring her to the Deepwoods Temple, informing her about the power of Fox Jewels, and providing her with one.

- When reaching the Deepwoods Shrine, a Shikigami suddenly swipes the Fox Jewel from Vix, and she and the Champ are ambushed by the three Manor Sisters.

* The Manor Sisters mock Rey/Vix for falling for their trap in the past and spending so long as their pet / sex toy, and if the Champion has defeated / outwitted one or more of the Manor Sisters in the past, each particular Sister will recognize them and swear revenge on them for their humiliation.

* The Champion is then sent into a boss battle where the Champion has to fight all three of the Manor Sisters at once, as well as a swarm of Shikigami.

* After defeating the Manor Sisters, Vix completes the ritual, gaining a second tail and becoming a true Kitsune.

* At this point, one or more of the Manor Sisters can be sexually dominated as if they were defeated individually, and Vix can be called to have some fun with them as well, getting revenge for how they treated her all this time. In one of these sex options, the blonde Herm Kitsune can be made to vaginally penetrate one of her two sisters while the Champion vaginally penetrates her as well.

- After this, Rey/Vix thanks the Champion, and requests if she can stay at the Camp full-time, as she has nowhere else to go. The Champion agrees, and Vix moves into the camp as a Lover / Follower.

- At the Camp, Vix now has a special dialogue option regarding attaining Kitsunehood, in which she absent-mindedly lets slip that, while being a Kitsune is all she dreamed of and more, and she's extremely grateful to the Champion, after spending so long as a Feral fox, it occasionally feels extremely good to let her mind go blank and return to her basic instincts.

~ The Champion playfully calls her out on this, embarrassing her, and tells the flustered Kitsune that they can think of a few ways to indulge that.

~ This effectively opens up a 'free mode' regarding transformations, as the Champion can have Rey/Vix shapeshift / clear their mind to change their sex, age, place on the Furry Scale, and whether they think / act like a fox or a human to their liking.

~ Notably, some of the Camp recruits are weirded out by this, but figure that it's fine, as nobody's being hurt by the agreement.

- 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-Tails), which increases her strength during sparring.

- Each time the Champion takes Vix on a return trip to the Deepwoods Shrine in order for her to grow another tail, the Manor Sisters will ambush them again, with Vix eventually questioning if the three will ever learn their lesson.
