First let me just say if I confused you feel free to ask questions.
Second, please quote me as guilds do not give me new post notices.
Lastly I know harem is probably the wrong word when the female is the object of attention but I'm lazy to Google it.
I am making a note right here to amend the rule about any buck joining the harem not having a relationship with a doe in the tribe. If there was a prior relationship between the buck and doe and the doe is not blood related to Snailshell or Ancient Song, their relationship can continue and the buck still join Spiral's harem. However, all parties must be ok with sharing.
Also, the above does not exclude the possibility for IC drama plots, should such plots be wanted by all parties involved. IE, someone sees a buck romancing both Watermelon and Snailshell, and tries to get that buck in trouble/attempts blackmail/similar plot idea that causes drama.
I am including Ancient Song's blood relations in this because Snailshell and Ancient Song consider each other to be sisters and see that tie as strong as blood relation.
This is Snailshell, aka Spiral. And she is half the pair that runs the Outliers, Ancient Song is the other half of that pair. Spiral is also half of the Spetiver line, the father being Vetiver. And she is looking for several bucks to form a harem. By several I mean 4 or 5. More may be added later on, but for now she'd like to start smallish.
These two bits are important because 1) Vetiver has Spiral's heart, meaning he will always be first and 2) Ancient Song & Spiral are bffs. Also the tribe is important because any buck wanting to be in Spiral's harem must be at least a partial member of the tribe. And he also cannot flirt with or breed with anyone in the tribe. A note on that, having a gutter mind isn't flirting unless it's done in a way to get someone to have sex. So dirty minded bucks are no problem, so long as they can leash that talk when children are in earshot.
Spiral will not expect any buck to be monogamous. And if he should ever fall for another kin she would be happy to let him go. As well, if Vetiver decides he'd rather Spiral not have a harem then she would cut them loose. However, they would not be kicked out of the tribe. If they stayed or left would be up to them.
RolePlay is required before Spiral invites a buck to be in her harem. One at least, possibly two. And even then she will only offer the invitation if they mesh well. We can do more if you'd like. After a buck is in the harem, there is no RP requirement for breeding, unless you'd like the extra baby.
A buck can choose to leave for any reason at any time. If he is allowed back in, should he change his mind, will be a case by case basis. Basically if he's an a** on his way out he won't be allowed back in.
As for Spiral deciding to put a buck out, I am not sure. If it makes IC sense I'll talk to the owner and see what they think. But unless he's done something rule breaking I don't think she'd kick anyone out. Spiral would be more likely to increase the size of her harem before tossing someone out just to open up a spot.
As for breedings, ICly Vetiver always has priority. OOCly I'll be clear when Fluo and I are trying for another Spetiver clutch. Any time we are not trying, Spiral will be open to try, via CC or gold bribes (rlc bribes possibly if I've the cash to spare), with other bucks in her harem. Who to try when will depend on my mood/Spiral's muse as well as the other owner/s. I may possibly use a month of CC slots with Spiral and multiple bucks. Or just pick a different buck every month.
This part for plot things/other info:
-Probably the most important (or second most behind Vetiver being the most important buck in Spiral's life) if he is evil or a supreme d**k he should just leave now. Spiral and Ancient Song and basically every member of the Outliers I own, would not tolerate that. Side note, snarky/sassy/sarcastic is fine.
-Spiral has many pets & familiars. They all help her hunt, in one way or another. She is mainly a carnivore, and will even eat animals that some consider pets, though not if they are actually owned. She will not expect any buck in her harem to be a carnivore, what he eats is his choice. But she won't change her eating habits for him.
-As for spending time with bucks, when Vetiver is around Spiral will likely spend a good chunk of her time with him. When he isn't around she will divide her time evenly between her harem as fairly as possible. With one exception, OOCly if there is a buck that me & his owner are really pushing for babies, ICly she'll spend extra time with him.
-Spiral won't try to force a buck to spend time with her. She'd like to do this as equally as possible. But if a buck would rather spend time with someone else/some where else then Spiral will give her attention to the others until he decides to come back.
-He does not need to spend the majority of his time with the tribe. He can wander the swamp as he sees fit. If they're trying to have kids Spiral would be fine to go with him. So long as she's not away from the tribe for too long, ie an entire season.
-So long as the other tribe/s allow it, he can be in more tribes than just the Outliers. Really the Outlier's one supreme rule is don't be a d**k/asshat/supreme douch. So long as he follows that and the not flirting with other Outliers members he's good to go.
-For breeding, we can edited or non or cc that part. I won't demand edited babies. And all children will be welcome in the Outliers, regardless of edits. Even if they're not Spiral's kids, if he has kids with a other doe they are also welcome. At the same time children will not be required to join. Really all Spiral asks is that she can teach her kids/their kids/and so on how to hunt.
-The biggest reason Spiral wants a harem is because babies. But she isn't really comftorable with flinging. This way she gets to know a buck and know they mesh well before having kids with him. OOCly this means I will do my best to have at least 1 clutch between Spiral and any buck who joins. When I am able to afford it that means I am perfectly fine to gold bribe or rlc as well. Repeat paring will happen as often as I can/the other owner is ok with. Obviously I'm not planning to breed Spiral to death, but as long as Gaia, Matope and the other owner is around I'm up for more Spiral babies.
OOcly I know it'd make just as much sense (or more) to simply rp with a buck and then babies if they get along. But this is the way Spiral wants to do it. I think more because she wants only a few different fathers and feels any other way leaves her open to having too many baby daddies.

Fluo owns Vetiver and this is what Fluo/Vetiver have to say about this.

My journal is currently a huge mess so here is some copy pasta for Spiral's bio:
This is oooooold as dirt so if anything below conflicts with above, assume above trumps it.

Personality
Snailshell (aka Spiral) has a deep sense of what's right and wrong, and she'll protect others from wrong doing if she can. If a dispute is broght to her she'll do what she can to settle it fairly. She takes great pride in her mutations (aka edits), and does feel that kin who have mutations are special in some way, or Matope would not have made them different. She has a similar feeling about non-Kimeti kin, they must be special if the MotherFather chose to call them back to the swamp. She also takes great pride in, and has a huge amount of love for, her family. Which extends to non-mutated kin, and to Ancient Song and her family. And any other Kin in her tribe that's not blood related, and their family.
Spiral and Ancient Song have been best friends since they can remember, and founded a tribe together specifically for mutated kin. Which is mostly populated by Spiral's line. She's got 7 kids with Vetiver, but more grandkids (she condenses all the greats to make it easier) than one could count. And even if they don't want to join a tribe, in Spiral's eyes they're all members and get treated as such any time they visit.
Spiral is a hunter, with 9 pets/familiars that all help her hunt. She trains each new generation of family/tribe that's brought to her to learn. And she's trained her hunting pack to assist family/tribe with hunting if she's unavailable. She's more carnivorous then omnivorous, preferring foxbuns and mongeese. She does enjoy berries, not too sweet with just a bit of tart.
Spiral loves Vetiver very much, but they don't have a monogamous relationship. Spiral doesn't have a problem with otherkin flinging, but it's not something she wants for herself. She'd prefer to have a few bucks that she considers friends who also are father to her children, not a strict friends with benefits thing, and absolutely not just a babby daddy thing. She does believe it's possible to romantically love more than one kin at a time, but Vetiver will always be first. And she won't try and force love, friendship is enough. Anything else is just bonus. She wouldn't expect any buck to be monogamous, that would be horribly hypocritical. Any children he had/has with another doe would be considered part of the family and tribe as well. He does not have to join the tribe, but she'd prefer it if he did. Being a member doesn't mean he'd have to stay with the tribe, he could be gone for long periods of time, she just asks that he comes by now and again. When he's with the tribe he'd be asked to help, either picking a job and/or helping with whatever task is asked of him. It's not a very strictly policed rule, but lazy mooches aren't tollerated.
Home Range
Her tribe has settled the land around Sorrel's garden, with the garden along one boarder of their territory. Spiral still enjoys wandering the swamp, but as tribal leader she tends to stay with the majority of the tribe. Most of her traveling now is done if the tribe is split, going between three groups to be sure all is well. Something made much easier now that the tribe has a territory. She often considers grooming one of her children to be acting leader so she can take long trips again, but isn't sure who.
