《Mother's Basement Studios》Major Interviews: OneSteelCalf
Advertisement
Major_Rebecca: Welcome back to another interview, soldiers! Today, our interviewee is OneSteelCalf. This lady gamer here has some interesting things to report about the CSP faction! Calf, can you tell us what happened?
OneSteelCalf: Sure. I created a new character after reading up on the CSP faction. I thought it was really cool - besides the whole, you know, xenophobia thing.
Major_Rebecca: Right, right.
OneSteelCalf: So, um, they’re normally dark-skinned people from living in hot regions and stuff. So I turned Sheba - that’s the name of my character - a kind of lime green skin tone with burnt sienna hair. I gave her a little ‘fro because why not?
Major_Rebecca: Haha! So, what happened when you spawned in the starter town?
OneSteelCalf: Well, I spawned in Jaharton which, in hindsight, is never a good place to start even if you look like a normal CSP Human.
Major_Rebecca: How come?
OneSteelCalf: There’s [Paladins] everywhere. One thing I learned about the CSP is that they’re really big on the Conquest celestial. While they worship all three, it’s clear that Conquest is the favored god of the trinity, especially in Jaharton. They’re ruled by an oligarchy of powerful [Warlords] that put physical and spiritual strength before everything. Sheba was just a defenseless [Alchemist] in a town full of cutthroat zealots.
Major_Rebecca: That sounds awful!
OneSteelCalf: The struggle was real.
Major_Rebecca: How long did it take for the...hostilities to start?
OneSteelCalf: About five minutes.
Major_Rebecca: That fast?
OneSteelCalf: Sheba’s a lime green-skinned character, after all.
Major_Rebecca: I didn’t think skin color would matter in a world of various fantasy species. I guess some hate never dies…
OneSteelCalf: You got that right.
Major_Rebecca: What was your experience?
OneSteelCalf: I was trying to complete my first starter quest - buying ingredients from an NPC shop. I had to make a Lesser Health Potion. I was headed to the shop, just minding my own business, when an NPC child chucked a Sour Berry at the back of Sheba’s head. I took 5 damage alone from that since I hardly put any points into Body. I got some dirty looks all the way to the shop and when I finally got there, the shopkeeper took one look at me and told me to get lost. I left the shop and was immediately attacked by a mob of low-leveled [Paladin] NPCs. It took me about a minute to die. The sounds Sheba made as she was being hacked apart...

Major_Rebecca: That’s...awful.
OneSteelCalf: Yeah...I’ve been taking a break from R&C ever since then. Just trying to, uh, let all that negativity pass.
Major_Rebecca: I see. Will you ever try playing as Sheba again?
OneSteelCalf: Probably not. I’ve had enough of the CSP faction for now.
Major_Rebecca: Well, I hope you have better luck next time with a new character.
OneSteelCalf: Me too.
Major_Rebecca: Um, that’s all we have time for today. Thanks for coming on, Calf.
OneSteelCalf: No problem.
Major_Rebecca: This is Major, signing off!
...
OneSteelCalf: Is that, like, a catchphrase you guys have?
Major_Rebecca: Yeah. Why?
OneSteelCalf: It’s kinda cringe, not gonna lie.
Major_Rebecca: Yes, well, I’m trying my hardest to-Jacobi, why is the camera still rolling?

[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Textbook Definition of a Vaewolf; Hybrid, of Vampire and Werewolf. When the FAE, creatures of fantasy and long-lost history, rushed out of the depths of the earth, sick of how humanity had destroyed the world, no one had expected it. Unable to contend against their magic and advanced technology, Humanity was soon on the verge of extinction. Until, one ambitious man, invented the Fae Serums. And thus, a new world of Fae Humans was born. Miles Lykaon was meant to live a life of absolute comfort and power, as the next heir to Lykaon Industries. But when he was still a child, his parents passed away. Even with his Butler/Guardian watching over him, in order to protect what his parents had left, he was forced to grow older beyond his age. But he failed, and his inheritance fell into other hands. Until one fateful night, when two mysterious strangers, monsters, crashed into his home. He was meant to die, but a ghost saved his life, sacrificing the two monsters in his place. When Miles woke up, he had been granted a mysterious system, with a strange feature called forms. And so begins the Legend of the Vaewolf, the Lord of Blood and Shadow, the Huntsman of the Wild. Discord Server: https://discord.gg/sPEJKm9Cover Art: Drawn and Designed by me. So expect more art. Updates: I will do my best to update daily. This story is inspired by the glitch in Skyrim, and the general coolness of the idea. --------------------------------------------------------------- Just in case you're looking for something a bit more serious, a bit more real, with longer chapters, perhaps you'd like to check my twin brother's book? It is Project Vaewolf by SomethingStinks. He only updates once or twice a month, but I really like it. Plus, we built the world together. :)

Homunculi: 6
A powerful family desperate to maintain its position at any cost meddles in the domain of the divine by designing and developing a new race called Homunculi. These creations are honed into brutal weapons to fuel their grand ambitions and keep their secrets hidden.Fresh eyes take in this world as a new Homunculus awakens. Its conditioning and training take an unexpected twist as it develops abilities and skills different from the others of its kind. -------------------- Surrounded by manufactured warriors who are incredibly powerful from day one, our MC will find himself lacking in innate skills and knowledge. Very much a weak to strong story.

Some cooking and some daydreaming within. (I see you slice of life) --------- WIP art by Katie Z.
