I had an idea for a character backstory.
A village of monster girls (harpies and lamias mainly) find a ship wrecked on the coast of their island, and recover a single survivor, a young girl. The girl gets adopted by a family and brought up as a daughter but as she gets older she starts to feel like she doesn't fit in, so eventually when she comes of age she sets off on a quest to become a monster girl, even though her family love her enough as-is.
What sort of methods are there to become a monster girl, though? If it's easy she would have done it already.
>>47720942
Well, if it's the Monstergirl Encyclopedia universe, she just needs to make out with a monstergirl to get infected with her Mamono mana so that she becomes a Demi-Succubus, and then have sex with a human man, completing her transformation.
Doing so would most likely cause her to regard the man who deflowered her as her husband, which is an unbreakable bond between man and monstergirl, so she needs to pick her man wisely!
If it's a D&D universe, go and find a wizard, preferably of sufficient power to make the polymorph happen and be good and permanent.
And if you plan on doing this shit with other players, keep your magical realm in your pants, K?
>>47720942
Just don't, for the sake of everyone involved.
Monster girls are always part of a fetish. This is accepted wisdom.
If it weren't fetishy, it would be monster people.
If you were perfectly aware of this, and there's no reason you shouldn't, you should be honest enough to ask "How do I be That Guy?" in the OP.
>>47721254
>>47721022
Really, I would just not specify a specif gender, and just call them monstrous humanoids. The second you specify a specific gender, it becomes magical realm, but few bat an eye at regular orcs, trolls, minotaurs, and the like. As soon as it becomes apparent that the species consists of two genders, it seems more regular and less made up simply for sexual adventure.
A village populated entirely by cute, buxom snake women? Raises suspicion.
A village full of yuan-ti, of all shapes, genders, and sizes? Nothing out of the ordinary.
>>47721661
Wouldn't they just zero in on the female character and see fetish regardless?
>>47721688
Not unless it's done creepily. A main character being a woman isn't fetishistic per se; the problem is that all the autists on this board stick their hand down their pants at the first sign of anything that lacks a Y chromosome.
Post cute monster girls you want as pets.
>>47720942
First of all, it seems to me that's there's a very strange moral to this story.
>focus on appearance
>mistrusting your loved ones
>changing your body through unnatural means
>purely dual ethic system
Which disturbs me more than the monstergirl aspect. Bit it's your story, you do whatever you want with it.
That aside, you have many ways to do it.
>curses
It may be getting bitten by a werewolf or local equivalent, finding a magical pond ala ranma, or getting a god angered (hazardous method, though).
>wish or polymorph
Similar, except it's a reward. Find a fae, powerful wizard, magic-lamp or wish granting crystal.
Easier to find that the previous way, but the quest requires more effort to be completed, since it's a trade.
There may also be some organisations that transform their members in a high-magic setting (churches wanting to be closer to their god, gladiatorial warriors wanting more power, settlers in a dangerous region, high class prostitutes for perverted clients, royal guard needing to stay on to of their game, artisans needing some perks, and so on... You can draw some inspiration from biotech in cyberpunk settings)
>reclaiming your heritage
Some settings have humans as degenerated ubermensch, and some can draw power from their ancestors. She'd just have to get in contact with her inner monstergirl. In game terms it would be like the Dragon Disciple prestige class from DnD.
>>47721254
>hurr durr everything is fetish/magical realm/that guy
>>47721834
>mistrusting your loved ones
>purely dual ethic system
Since those things weren't mentioned in the OP at all, I assume you're projecting your own issues here.
>>47722149
Yeah I dunno where those came from.
>>47720942
Thats extraordinarily bad for snakes. You don't just pull the molting skin off a snake. That shit not only hurts like a motherfucker its almost entirely likely its still attached at certain areas and will hinder new scale growth by promoting scar tissue. You give them a nice big branch or in cases of lamia a nice log with the bark still on and let them do it themselves since they can immediately tell and react to when shits not quite ready. You don't just go and rip skin off someone with a fucking smile you monster.
>>47722303
Maybe it's a masochist lamia.
>>47722177
>Saya
>cute
I read that wonderful piece of ogre. You no fooling me, anon.
>>47722363
It opens them to disease and painfully slow death.
>>47722462
She's undeniably cute. Your crude 3rd dimensional sensory organs just can't recognize that fact.
>>47722498
Hardcore masochist.
>>47722303
Well, snake can't really communicate. Lamia presumably can, so she can instruct her caretaker whether to pull or not or whatever.
>>47722303
It's also kind of gross.
>>47722602
Yeah....
>>47722602
>that one doujin about the alternate universe where humans shed skin and the protagonist puts on his big sister's skin and turns into her somehow
>>47722667
Was that the one where everybody metamorphizes throughout their life instead of growing up normally?
>>47722698
That was a non-h manga, this was a proper ero-doujin.
I also remember another one where a guy finds a lifeless skin in his room, puts it on and masturbates only for it to come to life and consume him.
>>47722712
Huh, haven't read that one. Any names?
>>47722738
Sorry, no idea. Just endless exhentai surfing. I have a fetish forskintight costumesand they naturally would turn up in the searches.
>>47722667Skinsuits are a top-tier fetish, but really rare to find new content
>>47722303
If a barber can safely go over your face with a razor, then the equivalent job here should be more than able to tell when shit's best left where it is. And it's not like the lamia can't provide any input either if need be.
>>47722769
>tfw your fetish is so complex and obscure and also kinda softcore you have to find vaguely similar images and make it up yourselfI once did a writeup on /d/ explaining it in detail, a lot of people posted and someone even said they might draw art only to disappear completely, very depressing

>>47723278
Considering her monster family seem to care about her, maybe they're not sex-fiends in OP's universe.
>>47723142
>tips to ease the process of drawing.
There is no such thing. It's called stop being such a bitch and do it.
>>47723295
Why even use the term "monster-girl"?
It denotes a particular all female group of part animal part succubus beings
Why not call them monsters and be done with it?
>>47722979
That looks fantastic, thank you for posting it.
>>47723346
>Why not call them monsters and be done with it?
Well, "monsters" and "monster-people" (or whatever word you use) have very different connotations.
>>47723346
That's stereotyping!

>>47722149
>starts to feel like she doesn't fit in even though her family love her enough as-is.
>harpies and lamias (which is apparently problematic enough that the girl wants to change. I don't think you'd have that kind of issue if there was a ton of minority monstergirls species).
It may be misinterpretation or bad communication on my part, though; english isn't my first language.
>>47723520
"dual ethic system" doesn't make a whole lot of sense in the first place, and I don't think it means what you're trying to say.
Let's just leave it at 'I don't understand what you mean by this, could you explain?'
The first one is a tragic flaw, and is OK for the purpose of the story. It also sadly happens a lot in real life.
>>47723726
I think he's saying that she's left out because society has two races in it and she fits neither.
>>47722303
what a nerd
>>47723726
Shit, didn't even saw it.
ethNic with a n, not ethic.
two ethnic groups.
The premises aren't unrealistic at all, I simply find the fact that you use them for a "I'm gonna change my body to fit in more in society" story very unusual.
It makes sense from a sociologic standpoint, but most rpgs, cartoons, or other stories generally don't go that way, instead professing inner beauty, tolerance and acceptance of the self.
It's not the kind of lesson I see in the medias, and is not particularly empowering (altering self to fit).
It's not a bad thing (on the contratry, there's value in originality), simply unusual.
>>47726352
>ethNic
>two ethnic groups.
Okay, now I understand what you're saying, but still don't understand the objection.
Their little island isn't the most cosmopolitan place in the world. So? Unless it's a trade hub or has some other reason to draw in multiple groups, most places are like that.
>>47720942
>she starts to feel like she doesn't fit in, so eventually when she comes of age she sets off on a quest to become a monster girl, even though her family love her enough as-is.
I don't like it.
I could see a girl wanting to build an ornithopter so she could fly with her sisters, or just decorating herself in scales, but the way you describe it she wants to sacrifice her legs to look more like her family, and that's an unhealthy amount of self-loathing.
>>47727020
Combined with the rest, it gives me an impression of "I can be a harpy or a lamia, everything else is worthless".
I'd be more enthusiastic if she had a reason to change besides self-loathing.
But as I said before, it's your story; I've got no objections, only curiosity.
>>47722083
It's a pretty safe guess that the guy who started a thread with a picture of a naked anime lamia and asking how to write a story about a girl who wants to become a monster girl is fueled by his magical realm
It should be board policy to jerk off before you post
>>47722649
I... I genuinely do not know what parts are what in this picture...
>>47720942
Wow this thread is surprisingly non-lewd for what it is.
Maybe tweak the story so in that through her adventures on the mainland she continues to mature and comes to accept the fact that she's different from her parents and forms her own identity. Perhaps not as strong, but the fact that she has four usable limbs makes her unique. The story follows in her multiple failed and various ways to try and turn herself into a monster, eventually coming to understand that she's herself. Maybe she gets a husbando in this process too, I dunno.
Aside from the awkward monstergirl aspect of this I could see it working as a acceptance/coming of age story
Have a birb.
>>47730707
I never noticed how disgustingly long her left leg is.
>>47730707
>dat filename
Screw her hair, how does she get that bra on?
>>47731208
>>47731255
Maybe the first problem solves the second?
>>47731275
Okay. Next question. How does she fly or balance with such an oversize and underbalanced weight as a human head on a bird body. There's a reason bird heads are small.
>>47731358
I imagine she'd be like a chicken or a turkey. She can fly, but not very well and not long distances.
>>47731411
Again. The issue is she won't be able to fly at all. Look at the chicken and turkey's head to body ratio. Now look at how bulbous her head is compartively. I'm not even sure how she can even stand upright let alone on one leg. In all honesty if she had to walk she's be dragging her head on the ground as her legs pushed her forward.
>>47731411
she also has glasses and so would be fucked if not for human technology. Just a huge fuckup as an animal and/or human
>>47731496
>>47731485
I blame science gone mad. We tried to make the perfect monster-girl for you. But we screwed up, we screwed up big time.
Oh sure, first it was the cat girls and the snake girls. It was fine at first, but we had to go further, we had to try harder. Then there were bunny girls and cow girls. But it just wasn't enough was it? We tried to make oni girls and dragon girls and girls with tentacles and girls made out of oozes!
We went too far dammit! We tried to play god with our fetishes and now look at where we are! It's a madhouse I tell you, a MADHOUSE!
>>47731561
Honestly we could have solved this with liberal applications of shotguns in all instances of failure.
So I've been thinking of a monstergirl campaign -- in that prior campaigns I've ran were basically monsterboy ones.
The current idea isn't so much an erotic setting but more of a light, cartoony setting. There'd be a lot of traps, hazards, and stuff like that, and most monsters that the PCs actually "kill" are going to be summons, animated objects, skeletons, elementals (spirits summoned into inanimate matter to mobilize it), etc.
The monstergirls themselves are probably going to be more impish than outright destructive, and typically surrender when they think winning is improbable.
So my question is, what are all the monstergirls /tg/ can think of? What comes to mind are drow, driders, dryads, nymphs, vampires, succubi, yuki-onna & frostwind viragos, metallic dragons (they can change form), mariliths, various half demons and celestials... any other ideas?
>>47731936
Just read monstergirl encyclopedia.
>>47721661
>The second you specify a specific gender, it becomes magical realm,
man do you not know what magical realm means? It means sexual content the PCs cannot help but interact with.
Minotaurs and medusas in 2e were both mono gender.
You're just way too sensitive.
>>47732002
I'm more thinking of critters that're already in D&D.
>>47720942
man The Munsters was a great fucking show.
>>47732113
I am currently playing in a "Moescape" (Animefied Planescape). The races highlighted in that game work well for turning into monster girls. You turn the jackal-faced arcanaloth into crafty, smug foxgirls for example.
>http://www.lomion.de/cmm/yugoarca.php
>>47732193
Plzno.
>>47732113
Then just go through the various monster manuals.
>>47731719
>with liberal applications of shotguns in all instances of failure.
You just know someone's going to take this as "
Arm all monstergirls with shotguns" and then where will we be?
>>47732208
Just a reminder that there are countless instances of Japan in the multiverse due to the Japanese pantheon. This is canon.
>>47732193
Nice. Incidentally, yugoloths are probably the first example of a monstergirl version that is drastically less fetishy than the original.
>>47732263
In a horror movie or an awesome fantasy action movie.
But only if the monstergirls have bikinis. can't arm them with shotguns if they don't wear bikinis.
>>47731411
>>47731496
>>47731561
So you guys think she's some sort of failed experiment to make a monster girl?
Sounds kinda funny.

And then since she's more than 80% bird she gets reclassified as a pet and sold so the protagonist, who reluctantly has to help her raise money for a new body.

Funny how 99,99% of the time, even in non-fetishy settings, humans can be transformed into almost anything, and are the only race with that issue. I've read some Hellboy recently, and boy do the humans mutate or get possessed a lot.
At least in greek mythology it was understandable since they were the focus of most stories, and other stuff got transformed.
However, there is never an werehuman demon that was bitten by a pissed off guy.
>>47739084
Well, I read a little bit about Shadowrun once. Every playable race, has some kind of "transformcurse", altough it is different from race to race. Also, technically, elves, dwarfes, etc. are only human mutations.
And, there is the Elder Scrolls series...

I've already used basically this plotbut for gender instead of monster girl.
>>47731936
Mermaids are a must.
>>47720942
Depends on the setting, but I've got a few ideas you could try on for size.
>The girl embarks on a quest to meet an ancient and powerful sorcerer whose is said to be able to shapeshift into anything he sees, conjure anything at will, and even cheat death. She embarks on a long adventure with one of her snake-lady friends. Along the way, she meets more people seeking out this wizard, both good and evil, who want to unlock his power for themselves. The party finally finds this arcane master, but discovers he's actually just a really wise mage that wants to be left alone. He can't do impossible things like permanently change one's body or raise the dead. After adventuring with the party for so long, though, the girl realizes that she DID fit in all along - and that whether she's a monster or not, the villagers are still her family. >(alternatively, you challenge the wizard to an epic showdown and eat his heart, stealing his powers and becoming a terrifyingly powerful Sorceress obsessed with discovering the power of shapeshifting)
>The "Monstrous" status of the monster-people is actually a curse, laid upon their race millenia ago by an ancient deity. As the girl tries to become a monster herself, she has to delve into the past and uncover the true origins of monster-kind, discovering their nature and their purpose in the world. The final boss is that vengeful god, obviously.
>The girl attempts to use dark arts to transform her body into a monster's - but being a novice, she fucks it up. Instead, her body's form is now very unstable, giving her the ability to temporarily shapeshift parts of her body at will for a short period of time. But this instability comes at a price - she has only months to live before her body breaks down into a pile of mana-irradiated goo. Can she find a wizarding master to help cure her of this ailment before it's too late? Will she ever become a monster girl?

You smutfags really will never quit, will you?
Long story short is that you guys really had nothing to do with traditional games, and the quality of your discussions had become a board-wide embarrassment. If it was just one of the two, you probably would have been kept around, but being both off-topic AND terrible got you moved to a board where you could simply be terrible but on-topic.
