I wrote more than I planned to

It’s kinda funny that the /vnug/ natives that have wide-seeming hips happen to be the ones with trouble giving birth due to their digitigrade locomotion

That’s the thread’s guess based on things she said on streams. It’s safe to say that her highschool years are in the 00s

Hello /vtwbg/!
I thought about my story idea and this is what I got:
Background/outline:
>Set during late Mujigae /vnug/ after that /2434/ company started operating in /vnug/ but before the Great Kingdom collapsed in 1044
>A small Mujigae garrison was escorting carts of valuables from a local mine to the cities
>It’s done after the onset of winter by the new manager for personal reasons
>Nightfall and heavy snow force the convoy to stay in a local village for shelter
>Village is somewhat fortified but deserted
>As night and snowstorm set in, the convoy is divided on staying vs leaving
>The convoy gets picked off one by one as paranoia becomes more and more apparent
Characters:
>Manager: Either a new manager for local company operation or someone desperately trying to get promoted into one. Wants extra valuables to be delivered for personal gain
>Captain: Commander of the small escort unit. Experienced in garrisoning in /vnug/ and is absolutely done with it. Wants to get back to the relative safety of cities even if it means braving the snowstorm at night
>Rest of the escort: Soldiers from the temperate north with little to no experience in how /vnug/ operates. Wants to get paid with the least effort/risk required
>Penelite songwright: A local roped into the convoy by the manager. Likely didn’t agree to be part of it but is very chill about it. Plays her instruments for the convoy and sometimes offers suggestions on what to do
>Palkyrie guerrilla: More like a force of nature than actual characters as seen by Mujigae eyes
Details yet to be decided:
>Whether the convoy had extra supplies that got destroyed by a previous Palkyrie raid, or it only carried enough supplies to reach the city because the manager wanted to maximise profit with each trip
>Whether it should be set in deserted village or deserted Mujigae warehouse
>Whether the place has extra supplies or not (the convoy won’t be able to use them regardless)
>Whether the story should start at them arriving at the place or just before the initial raid (if it happens)
>Whether the Pelenite is picked up beforehand or found on the road at the start of the story

My original idea's that Palkyries mostly use something like a bardiche which is kind of a mix between axe and polearm. This came before we know how Palkies look like, although I don't think Palkyries would actually be able to float since they're still humanoid larger than Palkies. I also kinda suspect only being able to float without ways to move around quickly would be more of a detriment when it comes to fighting
I base Palkyrie fighting method somewhat on insect glaives from monhun, which is Liora's weapon of choice in the franchise even though she plans to stick with SnS in her MHR run. It's probably less flourished than in the game so I imagine it'll be both a chopping and thrusting weapon. While I don't intend Palkyries to fly, they're pretty light and nimble with a prehensile tail, so in their native forest environment they can probably sweep around in the air almost like they can fly, at least for a few hits before they get exhausted

I've been thinking about how to put the Palkie design to use in this world. I think the issue I run into is that opossums (apparently they're different from possums?) are kinda useless on their own… their biggest distinction is their ability to play possum but apparently that isn't even a voluntary reaction
Liora provided us with some lore, namely that we're filled with copium to the point we float, but what we have on copium so far doesn't seem to make it a useful trait for us so I'm at a loss here

Thanks for the work! I quite like its look and the resemblance to Hangul as far as structure goes! Mind if I ask whether the symbols themselves have any meaning or origin? Also, what kind of writing tools would you recommend as the traditional tool for writing the script? It looks kinda brush-like but I could be wrong
