Art Sample: Combat Tournament Champion Valeria (Patreon)
Content
Last time we didn't talk very much about contests. There are three contests each month, one every week. There is the cooking contest, the breeding contest, and the combat contest. Each of them looks for different things, and each of them has a champion. The combat contest is a battle of monsters against one another, mano-a-mano, or team play at times. The breeding contest instead looks at the hidden scores of various traits, stats, and domesticity, and determines how well you've raised your monster, and finally the cooking contest is where you show off the quality of your cooking and farming skills.
Guiness is Valeria's champion and veteran Alpha, the highest class of dog monster with the lowest level of domesticity. He's a mean, grey, fighting machine who partnered with Valeria early on, and has stuck with her through thick and thin. It should be noted that while their relationship isn't platonic, neither is it romantic.
