Do Pycons need water? and other inane questions

Hello. I've read the Pycon and Hai lore pages, starting package guidelines, etc and I'm making a character sheet, but I have questions.

1. Is it okay if I pretend that there is a Pyve in Potter's Field (Hai, Eyktol), living on a miraculous clay deposit?

2. Since Pycons are basically living clay, doesn't that mean they don't need most of the starting gear (toiletries, clothes)? Can I compensate with some extra clay rations?

3. Pycons eat clay once a week. Do they need water to survive?

4. My character is 6 inches tall. Does she really need to weigh 5 pounds? I find that unrealistic, even for a fantasy creature made of clay.

5. Is it okay if my character can communicate with jackals (after having listened to their noises during her childhood)? What about horses?

6. Can I get skill points for a flashback?

Pm the mod in that area and ask them if a write up is made or help them make one.

You can adjust your starting package.

3. Pycons eat clay once a week. Do they need water to survive?

I would say a bit of water since clay could dry out. The season cost would still be the same for a Pycon as a human. Just different costs of items.

4. My character is 6 inches tall. Does she really need to weigh 5 pounds? I find that unrealistic, even for a fantasy creature made of clay.

High density for the mass.

5. Is it okay if my character can communicate with jackals (after having listened to their noises during her childhood)? What about horses?

I don't think so. Only the Kelvic of that race could since the Pycon is more "human" in that area.

6. Can I get skill points for a flashback?

You can get skill points in a flashback as long as it is dated before you joined the site like any other race.
