New New York Play By Blog RPG - Furbopal

Star: Furbopal
Actor: TheMetal1
PC Type: Alien
Story Points: 1

Character Backstory:

The character is an alien raised on a Farm on earth – initially brought there as livestock for consumption, but thru a weird chain of events unknown even to him – he gained sentience ended up being a farmhand and beloved by his farm family, which consisted of Robots and humans. The Robots – who while liking him, tried every year herd him along with the rest of the creatures to stockyard for sale and slaughter, and each time the farmer had to get him from stockyard. He took the entrance exam for the farmer’s son to get into college at the NNYU for agricultural engineering which was successful, but didn’t put the farmer’s sons name down as asked but his own – Furbopal. Thus he was accepted into the accelerated program due to his high score. The Farmers son did make it in as a liberal studies major and is now his roommate. More importantly, and much to the horror of the agricultural school, Furbopal is now learning about all things farming in a school whose curriculum is centered on the alien livestock known as Tasty-Chuckus-Foreigneress – which is exactly what Furbopal is.

Description

Furbopal has the head of a bull with two sets of horns, 4 legs, but also two human like arms with hands and two tails, which are rather large and considered one of the better edible parts of this creature besides the ribs, filet, new new york strip, etc - kind of like a sausage or hotdog but on par with a filet. The tails, can regenerate much like a camelon or salamander so often some these creatures are kept penned and offer up their tails repeatededly. The tails are spun a lot they can provide lift to the creatures - much like Tails in Sonic the Hedgehog video game- so the big thing with this species is that they have to be docked. Tasty-Chuckus Foreigneress are often raised, slaughter and served up in the burger joints in said universe - Think Space Cow - though in this case, Space Bull.
