-Badass Princess: A secret agent, lone wolf, killing machine, who shoots first and kills later. Solves puzzles by jamming the mechanism with corpses. Suggested influences: Static on the Wire, Polokoa Quest, tozols again.

-Creator Princess: Seemingly limitless powers to create, overwhelmed by the possibilities, easily distracted. Includes elements of TCP, Genesis, and far too many shorter-lived void filling quests to count.

-Date Princess: Her life seems to revolve around you, love at first sight. But, something darker lurks beneath the surface? Comes from quests about dating: Enemy Quest, Coxwette, Dragon Romance, Spookquest. Datequest
(Might want a lighthearted counterpart - sort of a dwarf i/dwarf ii situation?)

-Bodyswap princess: Always waking up in a new body. Sometimes even your body! Perhaps it's the same body, but radically changed in some way. Idiom quests are a genre unto themselves, but there are certainly other authors (*cough* OP) who do this too.

-Scientist princess: Look, someone's got to be running the lab Lab Princess ran away from. They don't understand why their test subjects keep making things so difficult. They only want to help! The procedure is totally safe. For Scientist Princess. On the protagonist side, we have Tory, Eezeryh, the Science Team, maybe others. On the antagonist side we have the Voice of the Alchemist and a whole lot more (and Tory again).

-Shipwreck princess: Where else do protagonists wake up? Next to the smoking wreckage of a vehicle. Survivalist by trade or necessity. Might not have had a lot of company before you came along.

-A princess somehow embodying the concept of body part days (and perhaps tgchan's lust for lewd fanart in general). Hard pressed to think of a name (Bodypart Princess suggests something else entirely, Exhibitionist is too broad)

-A certain ant-shaped princess representing a certain spoiler function of the board. The counterpart to the TGChan holiday princess above, illustrating the duality of man.

-Talisman of infinite psyche is a natural dowry choice, though its usefulness (and wisdom) is questionable.
-Perhaps John as a courtier? Coincidentally, another gen has already incorporated a sergal princess.

This is not following what you wanted, but I haven't done any art in a while and I wanted to post something!

Also the template you linked is super tiny, so I just screencapped the template on the actual image.

>>11542
ohno, she's cute.

The likes and dislike are just perfect too!

That's odd though, I just cropped the template out of the original image at 100% zoom. I'm still not really used to working in rasters instead of vector art. I should have remembered people prefer to work at a higher resolution than the final version!

>>11541
There's a lot of good ideas here. I'd argue the body part days will probably work better if they're worked in as a sub theme of a few princesses though, they don't stand alone well.

Bodyswap might work as a robot? Memoriam and Rollback sprung immediately to mind. Static on the Wire had a little bit of that as well with Sev-Three-Six-Two. Perhaps a Wetware item to load the princess into organic bodies, a Shell Upgrade to modify the current body and the lust item can be the Upload Chip for sharing the digital immortality around?

Orb of Infinite Psyche could be a Grave Dragon Princess item? It gives questionable advice, but things tend to work out if you follow it.

>>11543
Wait, you're right, it ended up being the same size either way. I don't know what I'm talking about evidently.

I thought I'd take a stab at a princess I had some ideas for. Also trying out two options for the face. Considering using 'X Y Quest' instead of 'X Y Kingdom'.

Fresh Start Kingdom's
BLANK PRINCESS

+Charmingly naive
+Fast learner
+As you like it
-Bland at first
-Prepare for unexpected consequences

(might replace a minus with 'Inconsistent')

Love: 2
Lust: 2
Wealth: 2
Power: 2

Item 1: ???
Item 2: ???
Tabula Rasa: Raise a princess's Love, Lust, Wealth or Power but lower another

"On the cusp of making a life for herself, this princess was kidnapped by a dragon! Where will her journey take her?"

<3: Vanilla
<3: ???
</3: ???

Let me know what you think.

>>11543
Perhaps later, we'll determine the queens of bodypart days and incorporate those into the likes/assets of whichever archetype they inspire.

Meanwhile, a princess concept from a stranger land:
Evolution Quest's Evo/Mutant Princess. Pro: A product of millennia of natural selection! Con: terrifying alien biology. Oh god, where's the everything? Evo games are relatively sparse on this board (Cthulhu runs one presently and Puruu Quest is based off such a setting), but they are apparently popular on /qst/, and /tg/ before that.
Items: natural defenses (a venomous stinger or something), tribal jewelry, a lostech bord artifact.

>>11545
I like the right's exposed eyes more! Really sells that blank, mannequin-like stare.
I'd definitely replace the first negative with Inconsistent.
One item could have the Amethyst Gossamer's 'select a dowry' function. Another could be a scanning lens that lets you analyze the 'stats' of things.

>>11545
Seems interesting. What kind of unexpected consequences though?

>>11548
Oh the idea is the choices that set the character may have follow-on effects.

Not much time to art today. It's looking like it'll be easier to fill out a list of twenty than I thought though.

Some ideas that have come up from talking about common quest archetypes were slime, wizard and revenant princesses. For goo, wacky magic and vengeance from beyond the grave.

I think I'll rewrite the Blank Princess to be a bit clearer about her gimmick. She still needs two items, a like and a dislike to be finished too.

I was originally going to make Tabula Rasa a copy of the 'pick a dowry' item but thought I'd try out something different.

What about Hurry Princess?

Why the hurry?

Needed a few colour tweaks to make something that works with the towergirls style's heavy black lines but I think this is getting there. Tried out a belt of slates, but it might be better to keep it as a simple summer dress style outfit.

Tweaked pros, cons and blurb:
+ Charmingly naive
+ Develops quickly
+ Open to suggestions
- Inconsistent
- Prepare for unexpected consequences

"On the cusp of making a life for herself, this princess was kidnapped by a dragon! Still a blank slate in need of guidance, how will she develop?"

Still feels like it's missing something but ah well. No luck thinking of good Blank items so here's a possible pair of items for Clothing Damage RPG (Modest?) Princess because I cannot resist alliteration.

Bare Blade: Strips enemies of their will to fight.
Shorn Scarf: Clothes are damaged instead of the wearer.

Offensive and defensive options! Not sure what to set for general character traits though.

>>11542
To work in some quest references, I was thinking of making a straw hat item for Cutebold Princess (You get one free miracle?) as a reference to Chee Quest. I'd like something that references Labyrinth too, but it's late and I'm struggling. Any thoughts?

>>11554
Battered crown, grants you one wish (within reason). Now your cutebold has a choice of headwear!

>>11558
Or if a wish is too broad, it could grant mega strength like they used it for.

I felt like drawing a robutt so I worked on a princess idea.

Visually a bit of a mash-up of Marie from Rollback, Mnemosyne from Memoriam and Sara from Static on the Wire. Debating changing the hair to reference someone else if I can think of a good example.

I'll be honest, unless there's bad jokes to be made, the likes and dislikes has always been the weakest link for me. This should maybe be reworked into a more general robot princess, but there's been a fair few quests with more general transhuman themes so maybe it's fine? I've been debating a Scrapyard Princess for post apocalyptic robots (of which tgchan has quite a few!) too.

>>11562
I think Backup Princess would be a good idea! Also, try playing with civil rights issues for Likes and Dislikes

>>11562
A transhuman robot princess, a posthuman robot princess, and perhaps a... pre-human robot princess? One that's learning to be human. Can't think of any off the bat except maybe nanogoo.

Attempting to think of ideas to throw to this, but how would ideas/princesses encapsulating various authors and their quest styles/tropes/patterns/whatever work out possibly maybe?

>>11558
>>11559
Both work. Might be able to work in a Chop's Dojo reference if it's the strength option.

>>11560
Lust 0! I'm a little on the fence if we've got enough builder type quests to theme a princess after that though!

>>11561
>>11566
Part of the idea was being able to try to reference a few different quests with each princess so I'm a little hesitant, but give it a spin. There's twenty spots to fill after all.

>>11563
Hmm, for Backup Princess how about:
<3 Version control
<3 Civil rights
</3 Malware

>>11564
I was thinking of the Scrapyard Princess because broken robots is a theme that comes up a bit. Survivors is one prominent example! There's Power Quest too, and Imitation Glass Flowers was less post apocalyptic but it's still set in the aftermath of something. There's more quests like that short cute one based on Engine Hearts that died too young.

Also since I've realised this thread is a great opportunity to link quests for people who haven't read them before:
https://tgchan.org/wiki/Chop%27s_Dojo
https://tgchan.org/wiki/Survivors
https://tgchan.org/wiki/Power_Quest
https://tgchan.org/wiki/Imitation_Glass_Flowers

>>11567
We do have several dungeon quests, to the point where Dungeoneer isn't even in the top search results! Like Scientist Princess, Dungeon Princess could represent the overseer of one such setting.
Or you could push the golem aspect instead and be about stats stats stats. She could have additional stat bars instead of likes/dislikes as a joke.

When I did a search Dungeoneer was in top results. I'm curious how/where you did your search.

>>11569
On the wiki. Typing in 'Dungeon' won't bring it up in the autocomplete, you have to spell the whole name out.

>>11570
Eh, the Wiki's search isn't the greatest so I'm not surprised there. I find the real test is Google, which is what I used.

>>11573
I'd give you two thumbs up but they might be censored

>>11573
Haha, I wasn't sold on a spoiler princess initially but that's really cute.

I'm hoping to keep producing about one design per week but for now I think I'd like to work on firming up the list.

Critters!
My general litmus test is they need to have shown up in quests by multiple authors and be complicated enough that they can fill out a sheet by themselves.

Decided to add five that felt like pretty solid inclusions:

Neumono Princess: So many murder rabbits. I wonder if a Polokoa reference might be overkill?

Tozol Princess: Tozol Quest is one of the quintessential lab escape quests so I'm going to go ahead and put this down as a bit of a mashup of the badass/lab princess ideas.

Slime Princess: Several slime protagonists, and more quests prominently featuring them. Probably the next one I'll make a design for. Traits and item ideas are giving me trouble though.

Scrapyard Princess: Broken robots! Patched up robots!

Elder Princess: Oblitus is the main quest that springs to mind here, but cosmic horror is a theme in a fair few quests.

Genres!
Perhaps quest formats would be a proper term? This feels a little dry as a category so I've tried to stick to specialised or popular groups. Again, went with five examples mainly from ones that have been talked about so far.

Horror Princess: Between Rubyquest, Nan Quest and Book of Worms, horror's a pretty popular quest genre. Completed quest genre even. Needs a better name!

Date Princess: So much romance, so little time.

Clothing Damage RPG: Bit un-embroidered still but I feel this is a definite include. The punssssss.

Evo Game Princess: Little tricky to find common elements considering alien biosphere, but a few suggestions that have come up were planimals and helium floaters.

Dungeon Princess: Runs a dungeon. Needs more research for examples. Maybe blend in villainy as a job, like Earth Defence Force?

We need a total of 20 so if these all work out we'll be two thirds of the way there.

...I should probably read up on Jiniki more for this. Still, spoilers wouldn't be the same without her.

mimiga/Mimiga Princess's items should probably include some sort of combined red flowers/bioarmor reference. Stamina-boosting underwear, maybe?

(Too bad Adventure Time already invented her but might as well put her in a parody. Ahem:)

Breakfast Princess
+ Every morning is the best part of your day

Love - 1

Phonetic Supplements - Gain a temporary boost to all stats, but it can only be taken in the morning and lasts like two hours.
Endless Pitcher - Once per day, you can drink from this pitcher and it will not stop pouring water until you take a breath. Great for refilling camels!

The breakfast princess is an essential member of her court who prepares the entire kingdom for a whole day of tireless work and spreads joy to all as they wake up. But her demeanor changes by lunchtime, and her agitation is so vile by night that the king had to resort to making the kingdom's capital punishment a month of night-shift servitude.

>>11654
I don't really see how that's tgchan related, sorry.

In other news, I did actually clean up some ideas over the Christmas break now I've had some time to myself again, but getting references together to pin down their design has been a little trickier than I thought. Should I post some of the ideas or just wait until I have some more final drafts?

>>11656
Maybe posting them will help refine them!

Hello hello. Felt like digging up some older projects and my big brainstorm has ended up with a list of 27 potential candidates for this.

I liked the idea of Spoiler Princess but decided to keep a light touch for suggester types and board features. They probably will sneak back in as knights, items and princess traits.

My rough cut of finalists is:

1 - Blank Princess - Blank slate protagonist
. Sample quests: Many
2 - Horror Princess - Escape from the spooky place
. Sample quests: RubyQuest, NanQuest, Book of Worms
3 - Lab Princess - You wake up in a strange place full of horrors/experiments
. Sample quests: Tozol Quest, Bloom, Venji Quest, Another Quest
4 - Tozol Princess - Some kind of weasel
. Sample quests: Who knows
5 - Cutebold Princess - Some kind of kobold that's into nose rubs
. Sample quests: Driblis Quest, Chee Quest, Cutebold Slaughter Quest, many more
6 - Neumono Princess - Murder rabbits
. Sample quests: Asteroid Quest
7 - Goo Princess - Some kind of slime
. Sample quests: Amorphia, Work of Chaos, I Am, Slime Quest (A), Slime Quest (B)
8 - Romance Princess - Gotta smooch!
. Sample quests: Enemy Quest, Dragon Romance, Coxwette, Date Quest
9 - Clothing Damage RPG Princess - What if clothes were made of tissue paper?
. Sample quests: Innumerable
10 - Dungeon Princess - Run dungeon, be your own boss monster
. Sample quests: Dungeoneer, Audit Quest, Dive Quest, Earth Defence Force
11 - Creator Princess - Make stuff
. Sample quests: The Creator, Tiny Cat People
12 - Upload Princess - Transhumanism wheeee
. Sample quests: Rollback, Memoriam
13 - Scrapyard Princess - Broken-down maybe post-apocalyptic robot
. Sample quests: Survivors, Rusted Sky, The Deadlands, Rho Quest
14 - Science Princess - By the power of SCIENCE
. Sample quests: Tory's Tower, Salikai
15 - Evo Princess - Evolution games, maybe also evolving protagonist quests?
. Sample quests: Common but having trouble thinking of questden examples.
16 - Wizard Princess - Yer a wizard
. Sample quests: Council of Wizards, think of other quests with neat magic systems
17 - Adventure Princess - Travel around righting, maybe causing, wrongs
. Sample quests: Lots, need to pin down more specific examples/split up
18 - Operator Princess - So tacticool, maybe merge with Tozol
. Sample quests: Static on the Wire, needs more
19 - Stranded Princess - Man vs nature, maybe man vs locals too
. Sample quests: Crash Quest, ChunkQuest, Planetfall
20 - Hybrid Princess - A lot of quest protagonists are biological mash-ups.
. Sample quests: Not enough recent examples?
21 - Friend Princess - Talk and make friends!
. Sample quests: More of a trend than a specific quest
22 - Delver Princess - Quests about exploring a place, often dungeons
. Sample quests: Labyrinth, Crawling in the Dark, Awesome Death Dungeon
23 - Drunk Princess - Absolute madness
. Sample quests: ONE NIGHT ONLY drunk quest
24 - Psychic Princess - Mind bullets pew pew
. Sample quests: Will of the Undermind, June Quest, Bubble Bucket
25 - Paper Doll Princess - Play dressups, make pretty pretty princess. Merge into Blank?
. Sample quests: Steve'd!
26 - Oneshot Princess - A little more spontaneous than most quests
. Sample quests: category/one shots
27 - Grave Dragon Princess - The manifestation of the quest graveyard
. Sample quests: Too many

Seven need to be culled or merged and I'd like to get opinions on who. If people have ideas for races or items or traits for certain princesses, please go ahead. I'd like most princesses to be referencing at least three different quests!

Also needs refinement to work in questden references but a skeleton ghost dragon was an idea I had to draw.

>Wizard Princess
See also: Gnuk's Wild Wizard Tournament, Bitequest's BiteQuest, Heretic's D3Quest. Wizards: No sense of right and wrong!

Who to cull:
>Blank Princess
Could be a knight
>Evo Princess
Primarily the domain of other sites. Unfortunate, but we're not obligated to put a Homestuck princess in either.
>Adventure Princess - Travel around righting, maybe causing, wrongs
Not sure the description really embodies something unique. Maybe shift to knight?
>Operator Princess
mimiga princess could also be merged with this instead of tozol. Poor Sev, subsumed by the furries.
>Friend Princess
More of a suggestor-driven trend, so knighty knight.
>Drunk Princess
Not every crazy oneshot is inebriated. Perhaps meet in the middle with Oneshot - examples of spontaneous oneshots include Whatever Quest, Do Not Look and Punch Quest

>>11821
TIL this board has a word replacer. Guess which one!

Based off feedback from here and the discord, decided to make the following cuts:

Operator Princess: Merge into Tozol Princess.
Drunk Princess: Merge into Oneshot Princess as an item.
Paperdoll Princess: Merge into Blank Princess as an item.

Twenty-four princesses remain in the battle royale!

Ones in the maybe cut pile are:

Adventurer: Definitely too open ended right now, needs to get a better identity or get merged into a species princess (cutebold?).
Hybrid Princess: A fair bit of overlap with Lab Princess.
Evo Princess: Needs some stronger questden examples. May potentially replace with a Monster Princess for an evolving protagonist instead.
Science Princess: Merging with mimiga Princess was suggested, due to science hives. I feel science hasn't had enough of a protagonist mimiga representation though.
Friend Princess: Another example who needs a stronger identity or to be cut.

Sergals and tezakians were suggested as possible races to use. More short princesses may be needed too.

While waiting for some more tozol/operator suggestions to trickle in, made an attempt at a completed Blank Princess.

Also trying a chibi style with a larger body instead of sticking 100% to the towergirls style. I'm thinking this will allow more quest references to be put in.

On that subject, do you think it should be Kingdoms or Quests?

>>11827
using Quests instead of Kingdom could work if the conceit of the prompt is that each of these princesses was the star of their own kind of adventure before being kidnapped. On the other hand, implying that there is a whole kingdom of people like them could lead to some humorous results.
