Kitsune's Curse || A Command Game

Information

Welcome, to Kitsune's Curse, a kitsune command game

In command games, you put a command like /hunt in the comments. Later, I will respond to the command with something like "[Name of Kitsune] went hunting and caught 3 prey!"

There are certain mechanics that will be explained.

Updates and Moons
Every day, a new moon will start. Every moon, energy will be refilled and one prey will be eaten by each dragon. Every moon can also have an event.

Energy and Commands
Energy determines what and how many commands you can enter. Normally, you have an amount of energy each moon that you can use for commands. Different commands take different amounts of energy, but it normally takes one energy per command.

Seasons and Weather
Different seasons have different affects with different pros and cons. Each season consists of three moons or days so twelve weeks in life is a year in the game.

In spring, hunting and foraging starts getting easier. However, hay-fever and floods happen more frequently due to pollen and melting ice.

In summer, you get +1 herbs when you forage and +1 prey when you hunt. Blizzards and frosts never happen. However, forest fires and heat waves occur more frequently.

In autumn, hunting and foraging get a bit harder.

In winter, when you hunt or forage, you get -1 prey or -1 herbs. Akutō attacks happen more due to starvation and fires happen a bit more due to the dryness.

Hunting, Prey, and Hunger
To last even a couple of moons, you need prey. Prey feeds kitsunes so they don't go hungry.

After one day of no food, a kitsune is hungry. After two days, they are starving and one energy gets taken away. After three days, they die.

When a kitsune goes hunting, they bring back prey for the clan to eat.

Foraging, Herbs, and Healing
Herbs are used for healing. To heal a cat, it takes an amount of herbs and one of the healer energy.

To get herbs, a healer goes foraging.

Training Your Kitsune
To be more effective at tasks, a cat should train with it's Mentā or a kitsune leveled higher in that skill. If two kitsunes train, the one at the lower level will gain 0.5 in the skill that is being trained. The max level for every skill is 5.

Ranks of Kitsunes
Kitsunes have different ranks. They are mostly similar, though some have different amounts of energy and different commands.

Meishu are basically senshi with nine lives and a role that lets them make announcements. They have 3 energy.

Fuku becomes meishu after the meishu dies. They are senshi for the most part but can also make announcements. They have 3 energy.

Senshi are the main structure of the clan. They hunt, patrol, and defend the poki from danger. They have 3 energy.

Minarai are senshi in training. They become senshi at 16 moons. They have 2 energy.

Kitto are the youngest members of the poki. They can't do anything except play. If they play at least 5 times before they become apprentices at 6 moons, they will be level 1 in all their skills. They have 1 energy.

Kuīnzu are female kitsunes that have recently given birth. They have kitto in the nursery. They have 1 energy to play with their kitto at first, but after four moons, they regain another energy to do something else.

Kusuri are cats that have knowledge of herbs and healing. Instead of hunting, patrolling, and defending the clan, they use their knowledge of herbs to heal and forage. They have 3 energy.

Kusuri minarai are minarai in training until they become full Kusui minarai at 16 moons. They have 2 energy.

Each rank serves the poki in a special way.

Attacks, Events, and Patrolling
Sometimes there are events like an attack, flood or human traps. Different events have different effects.

Attacks happen when the border goes below 10 and a wild animal or cat attacks the poki. Use /defend to protect the poki.

To stop most events, you need to keep the border above 10. To do this, senshi should use the command, /patrol in groups of at least three. Keep in mind, attacks will still happen, though not as frequently.

Injuries and Sicknesses
Injuries and sicknesses should be healed. If they aren't, they might get infected and kill the kitsune.

If a kitsune is slightly injured or has a cough, they loose an energy. If a kitsune is injured or has whitecough, they loose two energy. If they are severely injured or have greencough, they loose three energy. Nightcough or fatal injuries will kill the cat.

Bonding and Breeding
To have more kitsunes join the game, one way is to breed. If two kitsunes have bonded enough, they can become mates and breed.

There are multiple levels of bonding.
0 Bonds: Strangers
1 Bond: Acquaintances
2 Bonds: Light Friends
3 Bonds: Friends
4 Bonds: Best Friends
If two kitsunes get to best friends, one can ask the other to be mates.

LGBTQ+ is allowed. Instead of breeding, they will search for kits or ask a tom/she cat to help.

Death and Rejoining
Sad as it may be, your kitsune will eventually die. If your kitsune lives to the age of 169 moons, they will pass away peacefully in their sleep. Don't worry though, as you can rejoin the game by entering another kitsune and going through the waiting list again.
