Many many Pycon questions...

by **Rabbit** on April 9th, 2013, 8:24 pm

Over my short time as a Pycon, I have developed a LOT of questions about Pycons... mostly because of what they're made of XD
So... the list ^-^

1) Can/do Pycons drink liquid?

2) How would they react to alchohol?

3) What happens if they, say, jumped into a lake?

4) Can they be poisoned?

5) Can they get sick?

6) Do various drugs affect them?

7) If they get gnosis, is it smaller than usual (proportional)

8) Can they bond with a Kelvic?

9) Can they eat anything other than clay?

Thats all for now!! ^-^
(Might add more as they pop up...)

0) I have no idea about most of these.

7) & 8 ) Both seem like a yes to me. I'm almost certain all PC Races can obtain Gnosis, and especially since Pycon seem to have a religion it would only make since. And it doesn't seem like there'd be anything about bonding with a Kelvic that would uniquely prevent a Pycon from doing so.

Pycon are one of my favorite races by the way. Hope someone more well-versed comes along to answer your questions.

1,2,6, and 9) As far as i know yes we could drink liquids and eat other things besides clay, however a pycons main nutrition comes from clay. Alcohol I imagine would have an affect on pycons as well.

3) I am still trying to figure out if we are naturally buoyant or not...

4, 5, and 7)yes

Hm... I understand most of those answers, except for one. Getting sick. How??
Diseases and such require... viruses, germs, etc... all organic stuff. And Pycon's aren't organic, are they? And they have none of the stuff that would normally get infected!
Mental diseases, yes, I understand, but... the common cold? Or a fever? I don't know... it just doesn't seem logical...

(PS this is mostly to see if I'm affected by Wren's blight or not

Buoyancy requires something like an air sac inside said creature, or a physical build meant to float. Pycons should sink, like most other organisms playable here (Otani don't necessarily sink, I think) since nowhere in their write-up specifies whether or not a Pycon has some kind of flotation capabilities. Also, since they are quite heavy, and clay is denser than water, it is safe to assume a pycon would sink. Like a stone. They could probably learn how to swim, though, or stay afloat.
