HBG Universe Explanation(LONG READ AHEAD) (Patreon)
Content
These questions were asked by a patron, and I figured that I would make a post answering these questions so EVERYONE can get a better understanding of how the world works in my mind, so here goes:
I have SOME ground rules as far as the HBG universe goes, but its in my major plans to get it all grounded down and create an entire universe.
Yes, all HBGs eventually gain the ability to shrink their prey, but its a skill only obtained by higher ranking preds.
HBGs are immune or resistant to the power coming from preds that are close to or below their rank as preds, but if they come across a pred who extremely outranks them, theyre done for. When I say resistant, I mean they can still be shrunk, but only by a couple of feet every 30 seconds(from 50 to 30 and so forth). Higher ranking preds go straight through this resistance and make them whatever size they please instantly.
Thats basically what they use it for; to hide their prey in public settings where they arent supposed to be using their skills, and when they want to toy with their victims. It can be reversed any time they want to, but only by their choice. If they arent experienced with it yet, theres a chance that they could accidentally release their prey from it while theyre inside.
The more powerful preds still enjoy using the ability from time to time, but they definitely prefer the bigger, fuller sized prey. The more curvy the prey, the more they gain from it both feeling wise, and asset wise.
Liz is a unique pred in the HBG universe. She is what I refer to as an Omega pred. She basically has had her vore talents from birth and has been using them since she was a child. She has been put out of almost every school and even daycares because she was always eating the other children/students. Typically, preds dont gain their abilities until they reach puberty, and even then they dont gain full control of them until later on in life, which explains why Liz has such an advantage over every other pred shes come across; shes already got full control of her abilities, while the others are still learning to control them. Small ranking preds must resort to prey smaller than them because they cant take on full sized adults(smaller adults, sometimes children, and teenagers), because they arent high rank enough to use the shrinking ability. As they consume more prey, they increase their rank as an HBG; think of it as a levelling system in your typical RPG, having them gain different skills the more experienced they become. Those born without vore abilities are automatically classified as prey, but are only eligible to be eaten when they reach high school. After that, theyre fair game to ANY and ALL preds. To avoid high schools becoming completely empty, students are forced to wear pants that prevent prey from going too deep into their ass. The pants are like leggings, stretch extremely far, and are almost unbreakable; it would take an alpha pred to break through them. They also have to drink a medicine that will make them vomit out any other students they swallow orally after about an hour of swallowing them, all of this before the school day starts. Unfortunately, once students are off the school bus, they cant control what happens. Its not uncommon for students to go missing after school, but its impossible for them to find out who did what as no evidence is ever left behind.
All in all, there are SOME consistencies, but Im also adding as I go to fill in any loopholes.
