Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ok here's the deal! Zee and I decided that our little crackship bundles of joy are going to raise themselves in a sort of lost boys-esque scenario without a peter pan. Basically a little foal community where there is no one in charge. We would LOVE if other crackships or abandoned/lost foals would come join us!


Work in progress!



Ideas from Lat!

Well largely we'll assume they're gatherer types for a second. So they can graze and likely live off of wild fruits etc. BUT they could also:
*Steal rations from the settlement (oats, hay, veggies, medicinal elements)
*Steal from solitary healer types (medicinal)
*Steal trinkets/decorative elements to adorn basecamp, create a sort of totem for the herd, create "warnings" (danger here?) type signs to hopefully drive others away from their territory
*Steal or gather horns from dead prey animals (or even sea shells) to blow through and make scary noises to drive off larger prey (bluff tactic)

So if you have some hunter types in the herd:
*Stealing kills from other predatory Soqs (too young/inexperienced to hunt successfully)
*Possibly having the herd organize a distraction to raid a Kalona/Skinwalker's "stores" of prey?


Ideas from Mind!

This could be a good place for Foals that have gotten lost or abandoned can find a home.. And since foals are only foals for about three years canonly, its possible they might have two 'camps' within their group -- The lost boys and the "Tinks": A variation/their term for 'teen-like' and older members of the herd that act as guardians but also tend to separate themselves from the other group a bit since they are more prone to roaming since they "get more controlled by emotions or desires" much like how fairies from the original book can only really feel one emotion at a time.

Those who are growing up and feeling curious about the opposite/same/any sex/feeling desires they didnt when they were a kid, might get overwhelmed by them without someone to teach them how to control or temper them. Anger, sadness, fear is all much more devistating if you were never taught how control them either, so "Tinks", with their now much more chaotic biology and physical changes, are more consumed by what they are feeling. So they'd be pretty prone of forgetting about the kids more often and letting them run loose, but still would be welcomed and help out. The Tinks could hang out "At the hallow" when not helping out, and would certainly be able to help out with raids against the 'pirates' of the outside world.

This keeps this from having the issue of the book where lost boys grew up.... And then were either killed by Peter or escaped and became pirates. Instead, "Tinks" Act like the fairies that found peter, and might even be a source of new members -- as adults they might find themselves more interested in taking baskets or foals they think are abandoned and bringing them back to keep the Lost Foals Company. Plus, since they're not really interested in RAISING kids, and "They turned out just fine", they'd just let their own kids run loose as part of the Lost foals and mostly fend for themselves.

That could keep the herd alive without depending fully on new Crackships, and allow for it to survive after the foals grow up since the Tinks would follow the tradition of how they grew up.

Name comes from the word "Tink Agers" -- likely coming from one of the foals that originally spent time with some adults before joining the lost foals, overhearing the term "teenager" for young adults.

ok people can post ideas!

I love this idea!! <3 Can't wait for my crackship to come now.

Oh my gosh, yes to both! That's so cute! <3

I don't have a crackship, but.

I'm looking to be customing an adoptive daughter for Ozzie, and while she'll love her mum very much, she'll occasionally drift off and see about finding out about her 'real' parentage.

Maybe while wandering, she comes upon these crackship foals and finds a kinship with them? Making friends with them and so on and so forth, and when the time comes that her mum becomes cursed, she comes to ask her friends if any of them know how to 'reverse' the skinwalker curse? And maybe it turns into an adventure of trying to find this 'cure'. We know exactly what does it, but I assume that not all soquili themselves will know at first.

oooooooooo Fun idea!
