Ruby's character sheet (SFW) (Patreon)

Here's the third monthly character sheet, this time for Ruby, the dragoness! This sheet goes accompanied with a story which ended up way longer than originally planned, which you can find below. This sheet, along with an NSFW version of both the sheet and the story can be found on the website over at https://www.koboldadventure.com/charsheet/index.html 

The version number has been updated to 2.415 (Rubysheet), and the character sheet page has been slightly reworked. Anyway, without further ado, here's the safe for work version of Ruby's background story! Beware, spoilers ahead.

------------------------------------------------ 

Part one: kings and queens

Ruby is a chubby, red-scaled dragoness, a lady of blue blood who tries to live her life as a princess to the fullest. Currently staying in Varanar, the haughty young woman grew up in her family's palace, near the border town of Salamar, at the very edge of dragon-controlled territory. To the kobold, she can be a love interest, a blackmailing opportunity, or a good friend, if the two meet at all. Can love bloom in the squalor of the kobold district? Only time will tell.

The daughter of king Onyx, one of the prestigious rulers of the vast empire in the east, Ruby has never lifted a finger in her life. Ever since she was born, she's been surrounded by servants and slaves, maids and butlers, countless of nannies and teachers and bodyguards. While her older, blue-scaled sister, Saphira, was being trained and groomed into becoming the perfect successor to the throne, the youngest of the two princesses was mostly left to her own devices. She was permitted to wallow in decadent luxury while receiving a modest education in the form of boring, annoying scholarly babble, both endless and pointless, bothering her during saunas, massages, manicures and milk baths.

The unceasing tide of educators, hired by her father in the forlorn hope that at least some of their wisdom would get through to his airheaded second daughter, grew more and more irritating to deal with over the years. The teachers were frustrated that she wasn't learning a single thing. All she wanted, was to enjoy the magnificent way of life her parents so kindly provided. Why does a girl need to be smart, to be rich?

Growing into her teens, the young lady discovered a new way of dealing with the pestering tutors. Ignoring them didn't work, but she was a princess.She was in charge, and not them. All the growing dragoness had to do, was threaten to tell her father that they were doing a bad job, and they'd quickly back off, fearing the king would have their heads. She wasn't learning a single thing either way.

As Ruby's daily life returned to peace and quiet, Saphira was being subjected to various combat trials to harden and prepare her for life as a queen. None too dangerous, but her scales did end up with a few bruises every now and again. Alas, it was all for naught. Queen Diamonde, mother of the two whelplings had fallen pregnant once more. This time, she gave birth to a boy. And, regardless of Saphira's rigorous training, ancient laws dictated that he, the oldest son, would be the prince inheriting the realm.

Dubbed Emeraude for his pristinely green scales, none were pleased by the new heir's birth. The king was outraged. He'd spent years ensuring his favorite daughter would prepared to rule, and now due to an unfortunate mishap in the bedroom, she would be denied her rightful place atop the throne. Worse yet, if they boy grew up into a younger, more athletic version of the aging dragon, then he might stake claim to the throne before his father even kicked the bucket.

Onyx couldn't let that happen. The boy was a threat. But he couldn't just kill his own son. That'd be a scandal the likes of which his reputation would never recover from. No, instead, he'd play his hand with a bit more tact. With the reluctant approval of Diamonde, the king put a small, yet steady flow of the feminizing fluid known as FemPlus into everything his son ate, drank, and bathed in. If he had three daughters, the eldest would rule.

Part two: hormones and punishment

As she matured, strange feelings began to emerge in Saphira's mind. She grew interested in things she'd never really noticed before. Women, in particular. Why was she this way? It was unnatural, unbefitting of a princess. It was her duty to provide her bloodline with offspring, to ensure her family's succession even if her younger siblings failed to do the same. That's what her father had taught her, at least.

She didn't want to accept the fact, but the more time passed, the more she was sure of it. Saphira liked girls. Not men. She had these weird dreams that were unlike anything she'd ever felt before. She tried her hardest to repress her urges, but they wouldn't go away, no matter what. Over time, they only grew stronger, to the point where she could no longer hide her unusual interests.

Her father caught confused girl stealing her mother's underwear. Saphira wanted to experiment. She confessed her attraction to her parents. Onyx was outraged. His perfect little girl, his diamond in the rough, born from Diamonde, his wife, turned out to be flawed. He couldn't take it. He sent his oldest daughter away, to Varanar, where she'd continue her training at the human court.

The youngest of the two princesses had been caught off guard by her sister's deviant interests. She didn't know how to feel about all of this. But her opinion was unnecessary. Her father wasn't going to let both of his daughters grow up to be this way. No more teachers, instructors or wise men. They had all failed. It was time for him to take matters into his own hands.

From that day onwards, Onyx spent every waking moment with his darling middle child. At first, she was weirded out by the sudden parental attention. But, as days passed by, Ruby found out that she enjoyed spending time with her wise and strong daddy. His stories made her laugh, she began to look forward to her daily piggyback rides, and she could no longer fall asleep without being read a bed-time story. With such tender, loving care, surely, she would end up fathering him a grandchild in the distant future.

But Ruby was about to learn one of life's most important lessons: nothing lasts forever. As her baby brother grew into a young man, a clever thought emerged in the king's mind. The FemPlus, while clearly feminizing his son, wasn't enough to turn him into a girl outright. He'd remain the heir to the throne, for the foreseeable future. But there was one more trick up Onyx' sleeve. The same thing he did to Ruby. Paying less and less attention to his youngest daughter, Onyx gradually began to coddle his son, growing closer and closer to the boy, to ensure he'd never want to get rid of his old man.

Part three: hatred and parties

Emeraude never really learned to like spending time with his dad, like Ruby did. He never asked to be the center of attention. But she didn't know that. To her, it seemed like her brother was stealing her father away from her, much like he had stolen the throne from Saphira. Vengeful towards both of the men in her family, the princess set out to prove she could enjoy herself without either of them. She took to town, and experienced one of the wildest nights of her life.

Half a barrel of beer, four taverns, some less legal substances and over an entire day later, Ruby returned to the palace with her clothing ripped, her face dirtied, and all of her expensive jewelry traded for booze or drugs. She was completely sated. Happy, high and drunk off her ass, she collapsed onto her bed and drifted asleep. Her parents were too busy playing with Emeraude to even notice she'd been away. Without their objection, the red-scaled dragoness woke up, redressed, grabbed a few bags of gold and some family heirlooms, and went out to town once more.

Several months, Ruby spent drinking and getting high off of various exotic substances. Everyone wanted to party with the princess. Everyone. Mostly because she always footed the bill. It didn't take long for rumors to start spreading. Rumors that high-born life is so uninteresting, that royalty has to start mingling with commoners to have some fun. That a princess is acting like a delinquent. For those taproom rumors to filter into the court, however, took a bit more time.

Eventually, the king caught wind of this fabled noble drunk. When he found out it was Ruby, it was like the day he discovered her sister's a lesbian. Shouting, screaming, arguing, tears. She'd dealt considerable damage to Onyx' standing amongst the rest of the kings, a lot of his peers jumping on the scandal like a bunch of vultures and scavengers sensing weakness in their prey. Ultimately, the decision was made to send Ruby to Varanar, where she'd stay in the king's old mansion, away from her sister, and away from any taverns, at least until this entire thing blew over.

Part four: humans and laws

The younger princess didn't see her exploits as such a big deal. She was having fun, and nothing more. In her mind, her father was just jealous. This entire thing was his fault to begin with, for neglecting her the way he did! And now, he sent her to simmer down in the capital of a race far beneath her own. Truly, a fate worse than death.

Knowing her father was crazy enough to have spies posted all over the city, visiting a tavern was out of the question. The bi-weekly market sold nothing but weak wine, an edict forbidding the sale of liquor outside of bars and inns. With staff strictly instructed not to serve her drinks, and without friends to buy spirits for her, the dragoness was completely out of options when it came to getting drunk.

Hoping to ease her transition from drinking daily to quitting completely, Ruby sought out some of those exotic drugs that she'd grown keen on back home. She wasn't addicted, or so she vehemently claimed. But the laws in Varanar were a lot more strict than those in dragon-held Salamar. Recreational narcotics were far harder to come by, especially for an outsider like Ruby. Neither her stature as a princess, nor the bountiful amounts of gold that she offered helped her acquire the mind-numbing goods she so desired.

With no drugs, and no booze, the dragoness turned to men for comfort. Surely, being away from her father meant she could sleep with whoever she wanted without any repercussions whatsoever, right? Well, she wasn't wrong. The problem, however, was finding someone willing to go to bed with in the first place! Back home, a dozen or more draconic suitors were ready and waiting to court her at the drop of a hat. But in Varanar, due to a growing anti-dragon sentiment, and a bustling prostitution industry, many of the men she hit on either thought she was trying to scam them out of their hard-earned money, or refused her outright. Another avenue of stress relief denied.

Part five: insanity and food

Slowly but surely, the lack of entertainment was driving the princess insane. That is, until one day, she found the perfect substitute for all of her pleasures. Food. Delectable pastries, delicious meats, boiled potatoes, stew, soup, cake, pie, anything and everything she could cram down her maw. It all tasted so good! She didn't need beer or drugs or a father who loved her for who she was. She had private cooks, and an entire city full of ingredients from all over the world to fill the void in her stomach!

Some of her servants claimed their liege had snapped, a sentiment which redoubled when she locked herself in the kitchen, and forced the chefs to work around the clock to produce each and every dish from a culinary book she'd bought off the marketplace. Taking a look in the mirror the next day, noticing her swelling belly, Ruby admitted to herself that she might have overdone it a little. But that didn't mean she was going to give up on eating as a passtime completely. All she needed, was a bit of restraint and moderation. Two things the dragoness never really had.

Thus began a vicious cycle. A downwards spiral of regret. To curb her new eating habits, the young lady went outside and tried to score some dates. Failing to attract a partner, she'd come home devastated, and eat her worries away. The more she ate, the less men wanted her, the more she'd eat. Some days ended in success, others in tears. Ruby simply couldn't comprehend why these filthy, savage humans were passing by the opportunity to be with a dragoness like herself. Sure, she might have been getting a little chubby, but she was still a princess! That had to count for something, right?

Before long, rejection turned to bitterness, and anger. Ruby stopped pretending to like, or even tolerate the presence of lesser species. She became mean, rude and dismissive of most people on the streets. And, to her confusion and surprise, this stereotypical draconic attitude lead to her getting more dates than anything else she'd tried thus far.

Some of the guys she met were wimps. Weaklings, who needed a strong woman to show them their place. To insult them, and degrade them while letting them carry her groceries. People who'd never be interested in her if she was nice to them. Others were tough. Men who'd be mean right back to her, and then end the argument with a passionate bout of kissing. Equals attract just as much as opposites do.

Things were looking up for Ruby. While she was still a miserable wretch compared to how happy she was when playing with her father, at least she'd found a way to get some male company somewhat reliably. It wasn't a foolproof method by far, but it was more than nothing. The crushingly depressive feeling of being unwanted by everyone, was somewhat alleviated. And that was all she ever wanted.

Part six: check and mate

Thus we find ourselves in the present day and age. Unbeknownst to her, Ruby's sister, Saphira, is exiled from the Varanarian court, and the city as a whole. A political move made by the power-hungry baron. Too bad for him, the combat-trained dragoness manages to make it back to Salamar in one piece. Not unscathed, but alive and eager for revenge. A shame. He'd rather have seen that lousy, prude whelpling dead. But not everything can go according to plan.

With Onyx and Diamonde away from home, the foolhardy princess gathers a contingent of knights, and rides back to the capital she was forcibly removed from, leaving a message for her parents. Poor Saphira, still trying so hard to prove herself. She wants to solve this dispute all on her own, and believes an impressive display of force will persuade the baron away from war. Foolish girl should have let her father handle the situation.

Concealed amongst the knights, we find the third of the dragon siblings. Emeraude. No longer able to stand constantly being the center of attention, he's running away from home. Cute, he dressed up like a warrior, his feminine frame only barely able to support the weight of the armor on his back. Pathetic. His fat sister, gobbling food all day long would make for a better knight than he does.

As the group rides into town, the heir of the dragon border kingdom stealthily splits off from the convoy, and dismounts his horse in a nearby alleyway. He did it. He's finally free from his father's overbearing presence. But he's about to learn that the outside world isn't as nice as he hoped it would be. With his arrival, all the pieces are in place, and the game is set in motion.

This was supposed to be a lot smaller than what it ended up being. The NSFW version, available on the website, is quite a bit different and a bit longer than this safe for work one. Go check it out! 

Scaffolding on Enslavement, Afternoon Two has begun. Like this backstory, it ended up way bigger than I first envisioned it. But it has a lot of juicy parts in it, and I'm sure you guys will love a few of the bits I have planned.

So, what I'm going to do, is the following. I'll work on the scene until Christmas, getting as much as I can done. Scaffolding alone will take a while, due to the sheer size of the thing. Anyway, on Christmas you'll get all I've made, and then we'll either decide on whether you want me to do more, or whether you want me to move on and do something else.

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll be posting the NSFW picture (but not the story) for Patrons in a bit. Tomorrow, I'll put up a new poll for whose sheet to make next. See you next time, on the cherry dragon bullying game blog!
