New Skies, New Home [M - OOC]
You and a group of nomadic space travelers have fled Earth to avoid an impending disaster. Headed for a planet In a nearby Galaxy found to support life in many forms. When you get there, the troubles begin and dangers present themselves quickly. starting with finding a decent place to establish the first colony, other problems soon arrive in the form of predatory alien creatures, food shortages, a new weather system to adapt to, among other things. After tentative testing and only 2 deaths by unknown pathogens, the group discovers 3 edible fruits, 2 vegetables, a few herds of different herbivorous animals, and several schools of various fish in the nearby lake and river.
Spoiler: General Info
Fruit:
Karrokua fruit: Resembling a smooth pineapple with edible skin, the taste is a combination of tantalizing sweet pineapple-cherry and mild spicy onion, this could be good for stir fry
Sweet-n-sour fruit: Known to be found only on the hotter days of each season, it looks like an orange, and tastes a combination of orange and lemon or lime
Moon Fruit : a fruit resembling bright blue bananas with a subtle glow at night. The group has found their taste is good to pacify noisy children, only found on warm nights with at least a half moon to light them up.
Vegetables:
Mito Peas : A meaty, hardy variety of what seem to be legumes. Packed with protein and fiber, paired with a Karrokua fruit and possibly Purko Root, would make an excellent stir fry.
Purko Root: the crunchy sweetish taste of carrots and corn meets the starchiness of a potato. A good staple veggie for harder times of the year. Shaped like a carrot with yellow skin and slightly thicker girth.
Fish
River fish
Gubarn fish :The equivalent of salmon with a slightly higher calorie and protein content. Full of essential oils to keep skin healthy and the mind sharp.
Shlunksy River eel : Longer body than the Guba, not as pretty, but weighs roughly the same with the same nutrition.
Lake Fish
Pink Coral Lake shrimp : Just like the jumbo-sized shrimp in our home world supermarkets except pink when raw, and turn red until cooked to a bright scarlet like a cooked lobster.
Muk Fish: a strangely tasty bottom feeder with a slight chicken-like flavor. About the length of your hand, but meaty they make a good single-serving meal.
The herd of herbivores //Currently two known herds of herbivores have been sighted in and traveling near the area.//
Pearltusk: Resembling the wild boar with enough meat on one average adult to feed 20-25 people, they also have plenty of fat to use for Oil for lighting torches of various types. Often traveling in smallish herds with 3 adult females and 1 male and any Pearlets they may have. Males generally weigh 1/2 as much more as females, so yield most meat.
Nish'ka Hopper: Resembling large jackrabbits with plush fur and a decent yield of meat for one good meal each. Pair this with Purko Root and Mito Peas, and Purko Flour mixed into the juices, add a bit of water and you got a delicious pot of Hopper stew. Generally travel in larger groups of 10-14 with 2 or 3 around the area keeping eyes, ears and nose out for danger while the others graze in the tall tender grass leaves.
water The water is similar in molecular structure as fresh water back on Earth, it can be consumed.
