riot kings characters as "pet dryads"?

Jin and Nabi are apple tree dryads; Melchior is an oak :D

this would shake up the story a bit: Melchior is a dryad "rebel" who's taking violent measures to try and get equal footing for his species

Jin and Nabi are still with the Fleet, which has taken a stance on "equal opportunity" and hired a few token dryads. Nabi has a rare strain of nature magic that makes her useful, and Jin is a foot soldier instead of being allowed on the spec ops team

Mercury would be a dryad who wants to escalate the violence against humans, and Wes would be a naiad (seen as more feral and dangerous)

So @befuddled-calico-whump's PBU (pot boy universe) still lives rent free in my brain and all I'm thinking about is a multi-whumpee situation with a bonsai gardener and an old Juniper tree, twisted and mangled from years of being forced to grow in absurd ways. Juniper's lived like this for years and stays silent, resigned to his fate. Until one day, a new seedling comes screaming into the garden with wire wrapped around his limbs and forced into a beautiful stress position. And Juniper just decides then and there,

"No. No they don't do this to you too. I'm too far gone, but not you."

"Up! Get up!"

After a lord purchases the land it's located on, Silver's Grove is raided, and the Dryads living there are taken captive by a hunting party. Legally, any Dryads captured on private land are the rightful property of the landowner.

A Darker side of Dryad Husbandry

While their status as household pets and decoration is widely known, there are far more gruesome uses for a Dryad; things not discussed in polite company, if at all.

Many human scientists have taken to researching the species' regenerative properties, often subjecting Dryads to brutal experiments in order to test and document their limits.

Other researchers try for innovation: experimenting with Dryads' limbs and organs in an effort to create something that would be compatible with a human in need of a transplant, or testing new agricultural formulas and methods.

Not every research project is legal, but most governments are willing to turn a blind eye to the science guilds' work on Dryads in the name of progress.

Darker still are the underground circles frequented by those who are rich and depraved enough to access them. Here, Dryads (and Naiads) may be forced to fight, experimented on by inexperienced lords, or even eaten as a delicacy.

Dryad Whump Ideas

- Keep them in a dark cell/basement to deprive them of sunlight and weaken them

- Prune and shape their tree form into something more symmetrical and appealing, despite the pain it causes them

- Cut off limbs and study the regrowing process

- Bend their body into an unnatural shape and tie it in place, to encourage their tree to grow a certain way

- Body horror? Splice the limbs from other trees onto their bodies. Graft branches from different fruit trees onto a fruit tree Dryad to give yourself a more diverse harvest

- Keep a flower Dryad in a tiny windowbox, with hardly any room to move

- Leave a Dryad outside through the winter, forcing them into dormancy in order to stay alive

- Their regenerative abilities makes them perfect for experiments that would kill a human

- Masters with sadistic tendencies get away with practically everything---they're plants, not people

Due to their unique, eye-catching appearances and general durability, Dryads are considered the ideal pet.

Easy to capture (all you have to do is threaten them with a torch), and easy to keep (dirt, sunlight, and water are all you really need), a Dryad is sure to make a dazzling addition to any collection. And the best part is, there's no guilt attached. After all, they're not people, they're plants.

Tree Dryads are the most common species. Though nearly indistinguishable from a regular tree while in their plant form, they sure do stand out in their humanoid form!

The complexion of most Tree Dryads is green, but they'll also tend to take on traits of their species of tree, making each subset look wholly unique.

While rarer and more expensive than Tree Dryads, Flower Dryads are worth every cent. Their tiny, delicate appearance is sure to delight anyone, and they come in a variety of gorgeous colors.

Another close relative to the Dryad is the elusive and dangerous Naiad. While a Dryad can be found in the home of any self-respecting lord, a Naiad will rarely be seen outside of a cirque or private menagerie.

The beauty of Naiads and rare Dryads is undeniable, but most experts will agree that a common Tree Dryad makes the best pet for beginners.

rb'ing to say: open world! make some dryads/naiads based on this concept if you wanna! I'd love to see more
