Cerespirin Nymph Character

Those aren't Cerespirin nymphs thooooooooooooough. They're an actual species that evolved on Mhen'ga (right?) and they're boring because they just sit in the ground and trick people.
I'm really 'eh' on the pitcher plants.
I meant more of a dryad type sort. And not the big dicked herm out in the woods of Mhen'ga.
Technically they could be anywhere, as it could simply be a rusher who modded themselves with cerespirin.
Yes for Rusher that modded itsef with Cerespin it can be anywhere but if we would want to have npc that is race that looks like someone after use of Cerespin. Or race that was actualy used as base to make Cerespin putting it on some location with forest would be quite nessesary as how we could meet plant life form in...for ex. magma world?
Not to mention, how there already is a plant-person in the game, in one of the gloryhole scenes on Canadia station.
WHAAAAT?
ghesp. I will have to pursue this.
*use it
Gene bought it from the people who made it. He's a reseller.
What about the gene modders having tested it on themselves? That would make the most sense.
I'm really into these plant people, guys. The leaves are so pretty.
Testing mod you made yourself > Testing a black market mod you bought under the table on a rush planet.
Me too.
I´d love to see a gene modded forest nymph. AKA a humanoid who´ve used Ceresperin.
One who gave up the complicated life of the average Terran!
Love the details on the Cerespirin nymphs though. The arm flowers, the leaf hair, the giant orchid.
Those aren't two comparable situations.
If you make a product prototype that might still have faults that need to be ironed out, you have to be insane to test it on yourself.
You either get the antlers or the head flower though, not both. :C
I also stopped liking the flower tail so much when I realized you couldn't actually get it pregnant with anything but cuntsnake babies. I can't wait for the Rodenians, though. Breastnancy! A little niche of a fetish, but I'll take what I can get.
I guess I'm insane.
xD
If the creators taking their own mod is too far fetched, then perhaps their test subjects?
Someone who happened to have high natural compatibility with the mod could have used it, though they would have been rolling the dice. Cerespirin is also illegal, so they would have to be someone comfortable with the underhanded dealings required to get it.
I remember getting both tho. Can have something to do with being a herm.
Actually, for clearly musculine or femenine characters the effects are pretty straightforward, the only things effected by save-scumming are the result color scheme and the number of dosages needed.
I'd say that unlicensed mods like that are more of a gray area (e.g. no consequences for posessing or transporting those and no clear bans) and it's probably not that unusual for a rusher to take some. Or sign up for being a paid test subject, since most rushers end up in the red.
Unless it was changed, I have both flower and antlers. You cannot get flower if you have antlers first, though.
I mean they would have been rolling the dice on not fucking dying. Gene's fairly clear that someone without Steele's personalized safety measures would be extremely likely to kill or maim themselves by taking Cerespirin.
Thanks, I needed a reminder of that bit.
Still, IIRC, you are in favor of some sort of basic microsurgeons being easily available for general populace and more advanced options being available for wealthy and the specialists.
Besides, someone must have already thrown those dice. No research into creating the presentable version of even a bootleg TF mod could have been declared finished without having at least one successful result of testing it on a subject of target species. So unless Gene is selling something completely untested or used the fates of every tester to illustrate those potential side-effects, there must be at least one treeman/dryad out there.
As a side note, I'm curious if it as your of NS' initial idea to stick that big, bolded, obvious hook towards Steele Biomedical in that same scene?
Covering basic "people in the sexy future don't get herpes" functionality, not providing compatibility with transformatives. You're comparing a pocket calculator to a high-end desktop: they cannot do all of the same things.
Yes. Cerespirin is being developed on Myrellion in secret by a small modder operating under Xenogen's nose, using the cockvines found there as a genetic bridge between plant and animal. Gene calls back to previous attempts at plant TFs that have had horrific results, and as Cerespirin is untested it might very well do the same. He outright says that Steele is volunteering to be a test monkey by taking it.
I have had no input on Gene's content and cannot make assumptions about the intent of that bold text.
All this is not to say that someone could not hypothetically have taken Cerespirin or some previous attempt at a plant TF and used it with no harm done. This person would, however, be unusual, as they would have to have already had a biochemistry compatible with the transformative. This, as it happens, is something that Fen sort-of established with Dane and I built upon with Ceria: there are some people who have high natural compatibility with a particular gene mod and can either use mods that other people cannot, such as Dane being able to control his extra arms as if he were born with them, or feel particularly attuned to the results, such as Ceria's hypersensitive ears.

Well, the key part of my position are those advanced versions, something that in your analogy would be a decently powerful laptop. I assumed that some of those can potentially be focused on preventing the most critical damage to their owner's DNA from. Granted, this skirts pretty close to snatching a good chunk of functionality that is currently unique to Lessau's (and his teacher's) creation.
A small group of modders. That must have provided Gene with some evidence of the mod actually being worth bothering with. As for Gene's spiel about the breakthrough nature and dangers of Ceresperin, I'm tempted to take both with a big chunk of salt. Not the most solid base of evidence, but IMO enough to potentially get away with an NPC successfully getting those TFs.
Weird. That blurb doesn't name drop Steele Biomedical, and can be triggered regardless of whether or not PC has ever interacted with Lessau and his team ,but it is emphasized.
Seems like it'd be a good idea to summon @Nonesuch as soon as he'll come down from his creative high after finishing the Plantation Quest. Hopefully, he won't be too cranky.
I have no problem whatsoever with somebody writing a nymph/dryad/treant/whatever character based off of Cerespirin. They just need a handwave around the fact it's a dangerously untested drug, handwaves which have already been suggested.
My intent with it was that the PC would be able to approach Lessau with a sample of Cerespirin and have him spin off safe and specific TFs from it; in particular tentacle dicks, which some people may want without also turning into a tree. It was linked to the idea of you taking an active hand in helping Steele Inc. with stuff you find in your travels. I didn't go any further with it because at the time SB wasn't in the game. I thought I discussed this with you several months ago? My bad if not.

If we did then I probably just forgot, sorry. I'm totally fine with that sort of expansion, though it might be a bit before I'd be able to get around to writing it myself if you wanted me to handle it.
I think that would vary between person to person, but I can definitely imagine a nymph npc who´s dazed out, content to just bask in sunlight but very cheerful and bright if you speak to her. If left unattended she might daze off again to enjoy the nature around her. This is just a made up personality btw.
From the TF descriptions complacent, if I understood the meaning of the word correctly, seems to fit the bill more than being a stoner in the very least.
Again I believe it may vary from person to person. Someone might unluckily end up like a stoner, it´s experimental after all.
@shadefalcon I'm also curious if they're just horny all the time, when they're not pregnant, or what?
Horny like a New Texan or just an average Terran or just out there to breed?
