Civil_Pred_City

The Civil Predator City is a setting I'm working on, where rather than the vicious pred types that will just grab you and abduct you or gobble you up where you stand, there is emphasis and cultivation of treating prey (particular slaves) much better than most other predator-heavy cities may.

The underlying agreement between the those on the one side of the gumline and those on the other is that much of the harshness of a predatory encounter comes from having to subdue the meal and keep them still eating them. The two sides go back to times immemorial, and they can't stop the predators from hunting and the preys from being hunted, so they worked out a plan so that the predators get to enjoy their meals and keep their slaves, and the preys can feel that even if they wish it weren't so, their cooperation earns them protections and good treatment.

Note, that not every preys in a CPC is a slave - most usually aren't, in fact. Nor do they exist solely to be eaten, despite what some preds might think. Instead, it's more like a system of that enables both pred and prey to live together in the same area without it being a constant state of war.

This profile is something of a half-way done first draft, so in it I may refer to prey or slave interchangeably - if I do, know it's a prey that has been caught, bought, or in some manner gone from "going about your business" to "I have to listen to and obey this other person".

=========================================
Before I go any further, here are some things off the top of my head that are a "no, never":

1. Micros/ macros that are simply giant-sized humanoids.
2. Soul vore / soul play about keeping something in a jar or belly or whatever.
3. Scenes/stuff that is intended to be purposefully disgusting, like bad smells, gross descriptions of some kind of monster, or anything seemingly intending to make the player retch.
=========================================


Here are some of the ways that is seen by practical measures:

Punishment: To start with a commonly seen issue, the Civil Predator Society frowns mightily on things like whipping or beating a disobedient or inept slave; instead, more traditional corporal punishments plus an emphasis and embarrassment turns it less into pain and more into shame, cultivating a desire to do better.

A young slave girl, about twelve, breaks an expensive urn due to carelessness. Led naked with her hands bound behind her into a public or open setting in front of both strangers and people she knows, her master announces her offense, and the girl confesses to her misdeed, and accepts responsibility for her actions and the punishment she is about to receive. Leaning over the master's bent knee, the girl receives a loud open-palm spanking on her rear end like a child, biting back her cries of pain. After a number of strikes, girl is stood up, thanks her master for the correction, and promises to be more careful, then left bent over a nearby park bench for as long as she wants to take before she can sit down, red cheeks on display (but not for touching, unless she herself asks someone to rub some of the sting away).

Nudity/Clothing: Clothing is seldom worn by slaves, and when done so it is almost always as a matter of function; a slave going out into the rain may be given a clear plastic poncho to wear or an umbrella to hold, or warm coverings when it is cold out. The streets are kept clean and free of debris to protect barefoot slaves, but sometimes sandals are issued. Occasionally something aesthetically pleasing may be given to wear as well, such as ribbons or clips for hair, flowing sheer sleeves for arms or legs, etc. All such clothing is given at owners' will and revokable at any time; no one is obligated to dress their slaves, even under the circumstances above (though if the slave becomes sick with a cold because they were out in the rain, the owner is socially expected to care for them until they recover). The only exception is for slaves put to work in any kind of dangerous conditions, protective gear (even if it is merely a jock strap to protect the males) is expected to be issued.

Preys are encouraged to get used to being naked, and some do, while others never seem to get accustomed. Male, female, adult, teen, child, there is no one excepted from their masters' whim.

Sex: Ah, a big one. Sex in CPC often boils down to three realizations: 1.) Preds have the right to sex from their slaves, 2.) Sex can feel wonderful for both the pred and prey, and 3.) Done poorly, it can be excruciating for the one on the 'receiving' end of the deal. So like most things in the CPC, the pred tries to keep it as comfortable as possible and pleasurable if possible while the prey understands that even with such measures, it may be painful, and they simply have to accept that. Lubes, potions, and spells can increase stretchiness and resilience, dull pain receptors, and if nothing else make it so pleasurable that the prey sets aside any discomfort and enjoys himself or herself.

Underage/Children: The fact of the matter is, children have been traditional prey for hungry predators for all of history and before, the vulnerable falling victim to the strong, across all species. However, as sapient beings with young of their own predator species most certainly have sympathy and compassion for those same vulnerable ones, for much of the same reason as they make good prey. While children are technically bound by the same rules as any prey and can be slaves like any other prey species, most predators take extra care to treat them gently and make sure their emotional needs are met as well as their physical needs. Prey children are frequently kept under conditions better described as pets than slaves, available for their predator masters' whims and desires but paid special attention to as well, frequently sleeping with their owners in bed rather than cages and often given their own little rooms away from the other slaves. Many adult predator females delight in the blurring of lines between slave children and their own offspring, one moment leading them naked down the street on their walks, the next nursing the child from their own bosom. With such care and love showered on them, many prey children taken as slaves grow very attached to their owners, and in many cases love them like their real parents.
