Zo'dee?

It varies per area so there really isn't a set percentage. For instance: in Myrellion, after taking 5 or more steps in No Myr's Land, there is a 1/4 chance to run into an encounter. Of those encounters, if Zo'dee hasn't been seen yet, there is a 1/6 chance she will appear--otherwise it will be a different encounter.

Not all areas are the same or have the same proportion of encounters, so running into Zo'dee will be somewhat rare. She is currently only available for the backer builds right now, so if you are looking for her in the public build, she won't appear. She will most likely show up in the next public release, however.

Hope this helps!

No way that's the same fan art constantly drawn one I see all over the net. Her creator added her to this?

Yeah, Zo'dee and TiTS have been linked up since the get-go. 

What? So are a lot of the other characters forum RP characters from around the net or fan made ones that have gained fame? If someone made one would they be able to add them as long as they were a sci-fi character? Or will Dimtrys' futas starting popping up? LOL

....what. 

TiTS and CoC have reputations as being 'sona generators, so lots of OCs from the games end up getting art plastered all over. See: Excellia. Much more rarely, existing characters will have content commissioned to a writer so that they will appear in TiTS/CoC (See: Essrayle). I, personally, prefer not to see that happen but what can you do.

Sometimes, though, an actual content creator like Incase or Doxy works with us to create cross-content, which is good for both of us. Case in point: Zo'dee's creator did some art for TiTS featuring Zo'dee, and gave us permission to use her and the Rahn race if we wanted. Fen does. Just like Incase said we could use the Pauzi race from his comic, and boy howdy are we gonna. If Dimitry himself wanders over and says "Here is new sci-fi race I am creating, comrades. Please be of using if want," then if it's an interesting race sure we'll use it. Doubly so if we get awesome art and/or promotion to a new audience out of the deal.

Best news I've heard today. I just hope they will end up having at least slightly more biochemical resistance, otherwise they'd be screwed beyond belief.

Can you have negative lust resistance? Cause the Pauzi practically orgasm from simply being touched by humans.

Though that's the key thing, /humans/, who aren't exactly the most common enemy you'll find. If it's only humans they're weak to, it should be fine I think.

You can have negative lust resistance (several perks, buffs, and items already do that). The strength of the Puazi reaction to humans varies by individual, and the protagonist of said comic even specifies that hers is especially strong. The average Puazi might not even stand out in an universe as libidinous as TiTS.

After all, what TiTS is obviously lacking is a muscular race of female hermaphrodites with improbably big penises who are sexually abusive.

I don't want OCs to be in any of these games, I just didn't know they were there. I though the creators of the games (Savin, Fenoxo, and maybe an artist) were doing all the characters. I thought it was just a couple of people writing stories in the same universe and having them sync up. I'm taken aback that it's so open to have other stuff added in. It's not bad but I guess my idea of this small idea shared by a couple of friends that grows into this bigger thing with a following all on the own is shattered. To me it'd be better if it was all original characters only the main writers made up and I guess artists would come in and draw based on the text descriptions. Again, it's not wrong, do your thing, I'm just disappointed.

Sorry to break your baseless fantasy, I guess? A whole lot of people contribute to the game, man, including the two people who posted right before you. You'll note every scene in TiTS has an author tag right next to it. Check it out next time you're playing -- there's a lot of names other than me and Fen.

Alright I'ma tell you this right now. Zo'dee is a lfagship character for TiTS. When Trials in Tainted Space was in... Damn Was it indiegogo or was it...- Regardless. When the game was being backed, Zo'dee was shown as the FIRST character for the game's concept art. She has been patently waiting to be implemented into the game since the game was ever even conceived. She's as much a 'Trails in Tainted space OC' as Ceilse, Anno, Sera, and countless other npcs that have been here for so very very long and where made specifically for the game.

She isn't a new oc being shoved int other game, She's simply late to the party.

And TiTS has far from been a 'small group of friends' While it started that way before backing, many of the people working on the game, have been here since early- mid CoC development, so it is a rather smaller group of long time friends, but not as small as you probably wish. This ain't a small project. Fenoxo got enough money for this game to quit his job and work on this full time. This ain't some back-ally code glory hole, this here is the big-leagues of the Western Hentai Game industry~

The campaign to fund TiTS originally was done on Offbeatr.

Zo'dee has also been in the game for some time now.

Check the Gush bad end anywhere outside New Texas. She's the one who finds you.

What the fuck?

"I don't want OCs in any of these games-" bro what is any character? There isn't any difference between Anno and Zo'dee, or anyone else. Artist drew an idea as opposed to just posting it, a writer can go "hmmm that's pretty rad, bro, I could write it" and life continues like an idea ever.

It's not like Team Development is going to add in someone's Fallout OC or something that doesn't fit, but in the same breath TiTs is painfully nondescript sci-fi so anyone with a laser stick will fit in just fine. Maybe Fantasy-Game/FoE will have that goat priest art set in it at the artist's request, who fucking knows.

Not this shit again. We all know "OC" has a very specific connotation -- it refers to shit like Excellia, not Morrigan from Dragon Age or whatthefuck ever.

It's not quite as cut and dry as "Every character is an OC character, so you have no right to bitch about any one of them". In the bad old days of CoC Fen met a fair amount of his rent by writing up or coding other people's OCs, with the result that the game became horribly bloated with nauseating special snowflakes who added nothing to the world around them. Being able to break away from that model was one of the key reasons to kickstart TiTS in the first place.

In this particular case it's a nonissue, though I agree with the general sentiment.

Some characters will sneak in who have appearances in other stories already.  That's generally unavoidable and is not even universally problematic.  But by the same token let's try as writers to keep it to a minimum, because the game really does suffer if there's too many of those and more importantly if they do too much to impose elements of their stories on the gameworld (see, for instance, Excelia having the exact opposite relationship with minotaurs that CoC minotaurs are supposed to have with women).

That's what I mean, what Couch and Nonesuch said. It's yall's creation so I in no way want to tell yall what to do. I just had this misconception that the whole story universe was this small idea centered around a couple of friend using their own characters they RP with or made up. I'm not saying adding in other artists and writers OCs are bad. I just wouldn't do it if was up to me. I'd be like "That character is great. But I already wrote this story with the tightly knit cast. Adding in others that I didn't personally think up isn't gonna work." In my eyes, too many hands making a stew ruins it. Everyone may be great as individuals, but stuff gets lost in translation when too many are coming in from too many other universes. 

People said this to me when I was talking about Deliah. And people say it when I'm trying to date in real life. They say I take stuff too seriously and stubbornly try to keep things pure. Feeling that adding too much to something ruins it. Think of it like moving into a room. I would put in a TV. Games. Bed. Shelf. Drawers. Table. And stop. I would not call in a decorator and want them to help me add to the room. They don't know my vision. They don't know my life. They don't know how I want to live. Keep the room pure.

But again, I'm just here to beat the game. Yall do yall's thing. Respect. I enjoy the game.

'Adding too much to soemthing ruins it.' Cept this is a game that spans severally galaxies, with a near infinite amount of things that can be added in.

Has it been said this is pan-galactic? I assumed it was all within the Milky Way.

 Though the gates allow for near-instantaneous transportation, the far end has to travel to the location at sub-light speed. It seems unlikely even the ones sent by Ausar (who first invented the gate-tech) would have had time to reach other galaxies, let alone the ones sent by UCG as a part of the planet rush model.
