Grove Form (Grove)

Category: Other
Species: Painted Satyr

This ability can only be obtained by completing the Grove Quest with a painted satyr.

NOTE: GROVE FORM IS BEING OVERHAULED IN THE FUTURE! So some features and trait availability will change.

★ When editing a character with this trait:

  • Grove form cannot be changed to another animal.
  • When updating the original form you will also have to update the grove form
  • To remove grove form and grove quest progress you must use a New Story item

★ Info
Painted satyr can unlock an animal form that they can freely change into. While in grove form they have heightened senses, can move faster, and feel more in tune with their surroundings. The grove form unlocked corresponds to which path of the grove quest your satyr takes

Stag Quest by Browbird★ The Stag



Those who choose to seek out the Stag Spirit often find themselves lost, or in similarly repeating patterns of day to day activities. They wish to break away and find something more, to dig deep and find a way to make change. They may indulge in unhealthy or impulsive habits as  they hope for a sign to appear, but the Spirit of the Stag seems to come to those who have truly accepted that they are ready for change of any kind - not just change that they think they would like to see. Life is unpredictable and ever changing, and sometimes all that is needed to see the truth is to stand still - even for just a moment.

Stag Quest by Browbird★ The Wolf



Those who choose the Path of the Wolf are often looking for a sense of guidance and direction to find a prosperous path in their lives. Much like how a wolf will lead their pack and survive in the harshest of conditions, these Satyrs seek the ever elusive sense of security and knowing their fate and future is bright. It is also said that those who hail from cold or desolate places will find solace in this path, working as well with others as they would on their own.

Stag Quest by Browbird★ The Cat



The path of the cat often reveals itself to those who have previously died and been reborn as a satyr, or to those seeking some sort of renewal. The same path is also typically sought out by more curious minds, or those with some sort of underlying mystery in their lives that they wish to resolve. It is often said that those hailing from cities or of nomadic natures feel at home under the guide of the Cat, but as with all the Guides, there is always a chance to be surprised!

hawk★ The Hawk



Satyrs who follow the path of the Hawk are those who seek freedom from emotional weights and struggles. They desire to come to terms with any mental turmoil they may carry, be it from past lives, present issues with no clear resolution, or responsibilities and burdens they feel they have come to bear. Inner peace is something that can be obtained in many ways, but some satyr find it is easier discovered with the help of guiding wings to keep their heads held high.

  • The Hawk is is agile and perceptive, but where they most shine is their stamina. They are able to fly across vast distances without rest
  • The Hawk is one of the smaller grove forms, the largest hawk might be able to carry 1 person for a short distance
  • They are most in tune far above in the sky, cresting the tops of forests and tips of mountains and among the sky islands

serpent★ The Serpent

Satyr who seek out the path of the Serpent may be ones who are seeking to move on and heal from events in their past that may have caused much apprehension or distrust. They are oftentimes known to be reclusive and nervous of the unknown, but hoping and praying to open their heart once more to feed their innate curiosity of the world. Much like a snake sheds its skin into a new form, these satyrs hope for catharsis and transformation upon their return.

  • The Serpent is the most agile, strong, and capable in the water and able to dive to the farthest depths with ease
