Turn 1: Season Cycle 1980, Spring, Day 1, Morning“You expected a fancy quote here? Nope, the only thing I got are eggplants"
Whatever your genes or mutations that you carry as a eggplant sproutling, you all carry the size as a single-footed individual, and an extra inch for those with the genetics of an elephant. Your arms and legs that come off your eggplant body, and your most-likely mustard looking eyes see what is only to you a active tribe of your same kind. It seems there are more than a thousand individuals who have two sets of houses, the grass reed tipis and the mud huts. It seems like this tribe, are near a river shore and the river both continuous in both direction even to out of your sight. You see a temperate forest heading to your east, a vast grasslands to your south, and than tall grass fields to the north. The tall grass seems to reach to around two feet to six, and it could be very easy to get lost in there. However, as you try to understand your surroundings two very feminine, you don’t know how you can associate that their feminine because their frigging eggplant sapients, approach you.The tallish three-foot, pink, and plump eggvoice speaks with a dominant yet elegant voice, yet has an auditory sound that makes the plump sound feminine.
”Hello sproutlings!, it seems that the cyclical season has arrived and your our nineteen hundred and eighty sproutling batch, and you be very confused on the world you have just been brought to from your eggy homes. Our world in the Garden is vast and widely unknown to the best of us, and we hope that you can do the best of what happens in your life. The other eggplant, which is slim and toned, is two-footed but keeps a dark violet to her skin. The voice is light-tuned yet sassy,
“Wake up you egg buds, my time is precious and I’m only doing this for the required community service hours so that I can fulfill my young adult requirements. As for you buds, our tribe has no need for slackers or dependants, you have a thing we like to call Self-Worth around here. Self-Worth is the value of yourself to the tribe, except like the barter system we utilize, it’s like currency and can be exchanged for food, equipment, training, to whatev your deviant minds can need. You will instill into me respect eggbuds, my name’s Violet, by the way. That middle-aged EILF is Pinkegg. ”Yes Violet your introduction was sound if harsh, we are both the caretakers for the eggplant eggs, and we are instructed to give you basic hints to give yourself a home to the tribe. I early on recommend you get quests from the instructor eggplants who deal with sproutlings such as yourself. For you agile and strong eggies, we recommend you go to Hunter-Instructor Abergine, he may be battle-hardened and aged eggplant, but he can give you some good tips for providing the tribe with food. If you wish to have us with still exploring, reporting enemy threats, and just general scouting. You should go to Veloci, the female eggplant Scout-Leader, who can provide you with some basic scouting tasks to patrols that need to be filled out. Veloci is right near that mud hut with the rat skull on top of it to the west of the village, I swear you can’t miss it. If your more of the speaking type, than the male eggplant emissary Pinktalk, he can provide you with some basic things that need to be done for the diplomat tasks, and he lives in the more exquisitely crafted leather-skin tipi to the north in the tribe. If your one of those eggheaded folks and the like, and like to discover new things around the world, than Eggavotor a feminine if dirty eggplant could give you some errands to go collect exotic herbs and whatnot. And finally, for you eggplants who like to keep the normal tradition of being a farmer, you should go to the south and talk to Uncle Egg, about assisting him with farm duties. There’s alway need of hands for the farms, and we as eggplants always need more foods for our granieries.Violet slowly interrupts the middle-aged Pinkegg, and makes a audacious talk to your eggplant sproutlings.
”Yes, yes you can always go for the more mundane tasks of the tribe, but there is always the more interesting… arts that we like to express as the eggplant people, and we have three people who keep with these traditions. First there is the male eggplant “Eggseer”, and he deals with the art of connection to the ancestral spirits of the eggplants, divination of the future, and even the power to utilize the elements of nature, he lives in the far edge of the tribe to the north, with his own magically-created mud hut. To the west of the crossing of the river shore to the forest there is “Eggtooth”, she’s a wizened hag she is, she may have the magic to appear younger, but she has to be at least 100 seasons old!, and usually keeps to her own ways. She has the knowledge of vitality, growth, and even savagery magic. Finally to the far south, there is the old egg who likes to associates himself as a “helicopter”, we don’t even know what that is and yet he associates to that. Oldheli, who was originated as a male eggplant but who is now a “helicopter” in terms of association, knows weird magics. There is chlorophyll to many eggplant is considered not morally right, eldritch, and even his own unique craft of magic… “helicopter” magic, we don't even understand how it works."Pinkegg after the own monologue from Violet, comes back and makes a frizzled statement.
”Indeed… remember that many of your early apprenticeships will not lead to mastery or true training of that skill, but rather their errand egg to the most likely. You may wander the world to your own intuition, but if I recommend one thing, be careful to come back to the tribe at night. There are the evil funguys and shrooms around, and their only goals beside being the cursed spawn of the decay god… is to decompose things, is to also forcibly decompose living plants. They have large numbers, strength, and magic on their side in the night; it is not recommended to fight them. As were talking about other sapients, there are also the Taters, Peapods, and Strawberries whom we live in a mutual cold war. The taters and peapods will attack you if you enter their territory so be careful, with the taters who live in the grasslands and the peapods in the forest. The Strawberries live in the tall grass fields, and their mainly stoic and peaceful, if charismatic race, but if you enter their territory their scouts may try to attack you out of their lands. The peapods are quite expansionist and hatred of the Eggplants selectively, they are also… quite mutable with so many types of peas, that it’s hard to keep track of them. The taters are strong and durable, but there intelligence and coordination skills leave something to be desired.”Finally, Violet makes the final proclamation and than you eggies can go wander off to your heart’s content.
”Okay now final instruction of the morning, at stated you have Self-Worth points to the tribe which is our form of currency, however you all have nutritional limitations, and you can start getting hungry and malnourished… to finally becoming motionless. Food is the most vital resource of the Eggplants, and maintaining track of it is important. Each day there are three periods of morning, afternoon, and night. We as a people have no need for sleep, but can always rest to restore our vitality, on that note we all ability with proper nutrition and resting to restore critical injuries to missing eyes from spiders taking them out. As of that note, this entire instructional period took the morning with us, better feed off your eggs to keep nourished.As the two more-aged eggplants leave you to your devices, you make sure that you were nourished this morning. While the things stated were tips to provide assistance, they weren’t the only things you can do in the tribe. Miscellaneous eggplants like one with fishing pole going to the river, to two eggplant talking to each other, and than a variety of eggplant huts and tipis that are sporaded to the place. Also a eggplant who is watching a granary, and even some eggplant distributors around the tribe have set up shop. It seems like the tribe is alive, and your journey of the Garden has become. Whether you leave yourself to your own devices to become a great eggplant of the ages. Just remember to keep yourself nourished.

@KJP, choose one character and I will create a sheet for them. I do not know which character you wish to play as.
You will lose nutrition after each action, and it depends if its an active or passive action. Resting, talking, walking, and even learning are all passive actions and you lose 0.5 nutrition for doing them. Active actions like sprinting, working on the farm, to combat are all active and require 1 Nutrition to be used. Once you reach below 50% of your food cap, so 3/6 or 2/5, and etc it will means you are hungry and your stomach will growl, which may or may not alert combatants and hunters.
Self Worth is a vital resource that comes from working and earning respect from the tribe and its members, and can be traded in for the granary for food. 2 SW points mean 1 Nutrition value in the granary, can also be spended on the eggplant merchants for items, and of the elder eggplants for learning and education
River Delta: Where the Eggplant tribe roams. Has sporadic amount of tipis and mudhuts. A elder council hut. Also farms, granaries, and other things you expect from a semi-nomadic plant tribe.
Western Forest: Where the Peapods roam, also a usual forest. May or may not have scary intimidating creatures.
Tall Grass Fields: Where the Strawberries roam, the grass is quite tall to reaching from two to six feet of a mass of tall grass. Ambushes are quite easy in this location
Southern Grasslands: Where the Taters roam, just a large stretching green plains of mass
