Calico's Basket of Beans - Calico - 1/28/2026

Welcome to the wonderful worlds of Beans!

About the Writer

I am a 3-3-3 writer

Usually toons can be written at lower levels to your comfort! For ratings & TWs, check their account pages.

I have no major IC triggers, and comfortably engage with smutty/mature/dark/shocking/graphic/kinky content.

I like communication.
If something in our RPs isn't vibing with you, I hope you'll reach out so we can keep things fun and comfy for both of us!

Plotting & Recruitment

I'm happy trying to steer characters in certain directions, but prioritize staying IC over strict plotting. Surprise developments are fun!

Being said, I love talking out hooks, character dynamics, and finding cool ways to have our toons interact!

I'm a sucker for shades of gray and redemption (or corruption) arcs.

Feel free to try to recruit or even poach my toons from other factions to your own!

Shipping & NSFW

In long-term ships, I prefer 3-3-3 or high-3-2-3 writers.
Nothing against folks of lower ratings, but I like smut.
There. I said it.

Flings and short-term relationships with lower rating players are totally welcome!

Most of my characters deal with potentially distressing themes like depression and abuse. A LI will likely have to engage with heavy content now and then in pursuit of true love!

I don't usually pre-plan ships, but welcome threads to see if there's chemistry! Love that is tested, temporary, problematic, wholesome, eternal, any and all of it can be a fun time! (For the writers, anyway)

For dedicated romances, my toons tend to fall into the slow-burn category.

DM me onsite or reach out to me on Discord (Night Gremlin Calico) if you'd like to thread, talk about a plot, or just ramble about character dynamics! :)

Janus (Nerio)

Zacharie

Nate
He/Him ? // AMAB // 2yo

Empathetic • Protective • Generous • Patient • Self-sacrificing • Stubborn • Neatnik

Faction: Attempting to found Walosi
Relationship: Single, Demi/Pansexual (Closeted)

❤️❓

Nate is stubborn and hard to crack, despite being generally easygoing and flirtatious on the outside. Romantic love requires a bulletproof friendship, and even faint hints that his wounded inner-self would be a burden or irritation to someone will have Nate shut off to the idea. He's also leery of being admired or depended on too heavily; if he believes he must always be strong in order to protect someone, he will not pursue them.

Nate will not engage in casual flings or one-night-stands. If he sleeps with you, best believe he's hopelessly in love with you.

🔥 Nate is a passionate and generous lover who gets a lot out of pleasing his mate. Relatively inexperienced, but flexible & enthusiastic. Good with his tongue. High risk of getting you pregnant by accident.
✅ Kindness, generosity, de-escalation, stubbornness, a quick wit, red fur, green eyes.
⛔ Escalating/glorifying violence, racial insults, being impatient when he's avoidant.
☢️ Nate has severe PTSD and is resistant to being truly vulnerable to others.
☢️ Previously murdered for pursuing a mixed-race relationship. His heart still lingers on girl he was in love with. He is lonely, but leery of falling for anyone again.
☢️ Nate's never really considered whether he might be gay, and comes from a place where it would be sharply frowned upon. He might need some educating to realize it's an option!

Kind of a dork. Impossible to embarrass.
Generally helpful, kind, and patient. Especially to women.
Has some training as a healer.
Will attempt to deescalate conflict, but may snark and will fight to defend himself and others if needed.
Family is the most important thing in the world to Nate, and loved ones can do no wrong in his eyes.
Happy with friends, enemies, companions, adopting, & potential LIs (or heartbreaks!)
No killing or severe maiming, but you can scare him and beat him up.
Alcoholic. Workaholic.
Can travel, but usually preoccupied with Walosi work.

Ko-Ga
He/Him // AMAB // 2yo

Curious • Snarky • Territorial • Quirky • Creative

Faction: Attempting to found Walosi
Relationship: Single, Pansexual

❤️❓

Ko-Ga is rather free-spirited and curious. His interest is trivial to pique, and if you're easy, he won't complain... but he will enthusiastically engage in the thrill of a more difficult courtship. You don't even have to be a crow. Or a bird.

Ko-Ga will readily engage in flings and one-night-stands.

🔥 He's a bird... so most of the excitement is in the courting and foreplay. Ko-Ga is creative and willing to experiment.
✅ Bright colors, quick wit, adrenaline, novelty
⛔ ???
☢️ Ko-Ga is very loyal to Nate, and will not leave him. If you make him choose between his brother and you, he'll choose Nate.

Generally nosy, friendly, and mischievous.
Excellent at using tools, happy to teach others to do the same.
Will readily snark and may instigate conflict if he finds you annoying.
Happy with friends, enemies, companions, adopting, & potential LIs (or heartbreaks!)
No killing or severe maiming, but you can scare him and beat him up.
Mother-hens Nate
Can travel, but will usually stick close to a Walosi member.

Lyra (Myna)
She/Her // AFAB // 2yo

Curious • Sociable • Sly • Fiery • Superstitious • Food Aggressive • Adaptable

Faction: Highwayman Howff, Captain
Relationship: Single(ish), Bi-Curious, Polyamorous

❤️❓

Lyra doesn't know how to trust people, and doesn't believe in romance. Used to using her body as a bargaining chip, she only recently learned that sex can be pleasant for she-wolves. She's raised her standards, though they're a work in progress. Anyone after her heart in earnest will have to be willing to share, both with any other bedfellows she decides to play with, and her young pups who have risen to a level of importance above even Lyra's own life.

Lyra is happy with casual flings, one-night-stands, and even whoring — but demands to be pleased, herself. If you want her you'll have impress her or corner her. Be aware: anyone that takes too much liberty with Lyra can expect a drastically shortened lifespan.

🔥 Exceptional at pleasing men. Still figuring out what she herself likes. Can be fairly dominant. Likes to be spoiled.
✅ Older than her, cheeky, doting/protective, match her energy, easy to boss around (or hard to).
⛔ Unsubstantiated boasting, attempting to control her, being too soft/sentimental.
☢️ Lyra doesn't know what she doesn't know. Potential for surprise triggers and violent reactivity as she comes to terms with how badly she's been treated by men in her past, and needlessly so.
☢️ May pretend to love you to get your guard down and rob/kill you.

Extremely protective of her pups.
Generally self-serving. She'll help you if there's something in it for her.
Reactive and used to using violence to establish a pecking order.
A bully if she thinks she can win, manipulative if she thinks she can't.
Happy with friends, enemies, companions, & potential LIs (or heartbreaks!)
No killing or severe maiming, but you can scare her and beat her up.
Rambunctious, foul-mouthed, and has a crude sense of humor.
Fearful of witches, fae, devils, sorcerers, and goats.
Can be found around Verdigris row or territories that directly border it.

Toad
She/Her // AFAB // Pup

Playful • Curious • Mischievous • Optimistic • Stubborn

Faction: Highwayman Howff, Urchin/Captain's Kid
Relationship: Too young to know!

❤️❓

Wait till she's older! Given her parents promiscuity and openness, she will likely be fairly open-minded about it.

🔥 ?
✅ ?
⛔ ?
☢️ Born sickly and premature, Toad will always be a bit fragile and overexertion, even in passion, can cause flare-ups or asthma attacks.

Curious about the world, but will bark at strangers.
Crooked back legs limit mobility and are a very noticeable defect.
Asthma attacks are frequent, limiting exertion.
Happy with friends, enemies, and puppy-loves!
No killing or severe maiming, but you can knock her around or scare her (her parents are likely to attempt to kill you for it.)
Can currently only be found at the Howff in Verdigris Row, guarded by her parents.

Setemhotep
He/Him // AMAB // 2yo

Kind • Guarded • Devout • Repressed • Overthinker

Faction: Satriya, High Priest of Ra & Physician
Relationship: Single, Gay (Repressed)

❤️❓

Hotep is married to his work because that's easier than wrestling with years of loneliness. Is not looking for love, though developing crushes or flights of fantasy are common. Likely to be very nervous if a courtship were initiated, and utterly puppy-eyed to anyone who won his heart. May favor discretion and try to take things slow... but would be susceptible to a whirlwind romance.

Hotep is in theory open to flings or one-night-stands, but they'll have to navigate his maze-like inner categorization system about what's proper for both of you and your respective ranks.

🔥 Good "sword polisher." Prefers to top.
✅ Thick fur, big muscles, foreign accent, roguish charm, take-charge attitude, regal bearing
⛔ Indecisiveness, ???
☢️ Repressed. Was exiled for refusing the advances of his previous Pharaoh. Ashamed of his desires and blames himself for "encouraging" Pharaoh too much.
☢️ Considers bottoming extremely submissive behavior and potentially emasculating. Will not top a higher rank, or be topped by anyone lower in rank.

Kind-hearted and will go above & beyond in his duties to help others.
Tends to be reserved and polite. Hard to know if he's angry or doesn't like you.
Can be "fake" nice, by folding critique or insult into flowery words.
Generally open for healing & counseling, religious advice, & rune searches.
Will talk about his gods. At length.
Happy with friends, enemies, companions, adopting, & potential LIs (or heartbreaks!)
No killing or severe maiming, but you can scare him and beat him up.
Mostly interacts with Satriya but does sometimes travel for diplomacy!
Actively looking for an apprentice to teach physician work to.

Nakhtmin
He/Him // AMAB // 4yo

Spirited • Dominant • Gregarious • Possessive

Faction: Satriya, Mazoi, Personal Guard of Princess Neferseba
Relationship: Single, Pansexual, Polyamorous

❤️❓

Nakhtmin has claimed great harems in the past, won by strength and martial prowess. Tends to use this strategy in all his romantic endeavors. He likes to show off. He likes to wrestle. With oryx cows he's quite forthright about his intentions and can be possessive. With others he can be (slightly) more subtle and doesn't mind sharing. If you show interest, you can expect him to reciprocate.

Nakhtmin may have "favorites" but he's pretty much always DTF. With anything. Regardless of species.

🔥 Exuberant, he likes a chase and a workout. Tends to play rough. Usually dominant/top but will switch, if you're tough enough to get him excited about it.
✅ Long horns, strength, playing hard-to-get, adventurousness, battle-prowess, perfume, botany
⛔ Frailty, flightiness, dirtiness, pacifism
☢️ Nakhtmin's loyalty is to Satriya, he will prioritize his oath over any other relationships.

Smarter than he looks, but still basically a jock.
Straightforward and sometimes tone-deaf when he speaks.
LOVES to spar & show off.
Happy with friends, enemies, companions, adopting, & potential LIs (or heartbreaks!)
No killing or severe maiming, but you can (try to) scare him and beat him up.
Can travel anywhere within "warm" map ranges.

Elisabet
She/Her // AFAB // 2yo

Bold • Playful • Sensitive • Wild

Faction: Camhanaich, Seanchaidh / Storyteller
Relationship: Single, Pansexual

❤️❓

Liss is adventurous and fun-loving. Her impulsive nature makes her fun to chase, but hard to catch. She's not really thinking about settling down right now, but for the right partner, it could change. She'd do well with someone that can keep up with her breakneck adventuring pace, or potentially someone more quiet and thoughtful to temper her more hare-brained schemes.

Liss is open to flings and one-night stands.

🔥 Liss is inexperienced, but can be very pushy/needy. Her stamina is.... impressive.
✅ Playful, adventurous, lanky, novel
⛔ Spoilsport, ??
☢️ Liss gets caught up in the moment, and may appear more committed to someone than she actually is.
☢️ Liss is a Pollyanna, and will ignore discomfort to avoid dealing with Bad Feelings. She's easily taken advantage of.

Talks. A Lot.
Liss assumes most people are friends until proven otherwise.
Happy with friends, enemies, companions, & potential LIs (or heartbreaks!)
No killing or severe maiming, but you can scare her and beat her up.
Travels all over while looking for her lost family.

Janus (Nerio)
He/Him // AMAB // 5yo

Brave • Ambitious • Perfectionist • Proud • Sociable • Charming • Cunning

Faction: Loner
Relationship: Single, Hetero, Womanizer

❤️❓

Janus is a lusty beast, and he likes playing games of seduction. He'll mold himself into a variety of personas in the pursuit of a she-wolf's affection. Janus takes pride in winning "permission" from a partner, even if he has to use deception to get it. Once he tires of the game, he's quick to leave them high and dry. The only one who ever earned his loyalty has died, and he's unwilling to truly devote himself to any other.

Janus is happy with flings and one-night-stands. Though firmly heterosexual, he will top men in displays of dominance, especially if seducing them would benefit him in some way.

🔥 Experienced, confident, and proud of his "prowess", Janus can be a great lover when he's invested in the game... and a distant, unstatisfying one when his interest wanes. Willing to be submissive, but always tops.
✅ Feminine beauty, fawning over him.
⛔ Insulting him.
☢️ Janus is entirely self-centered. He may pretend quite well to be in love, but he cares, ultimately, only about himself & likes playing games with other's hearts.

Most of the time seems friendly, charming, and unassuming.
A trained assassin and spy, off leash, he can become violent at the drop of a hat.
Looking for Liss, blames her for the death of his mate and wants to punish the girl for destroying his life. Currently pretending to be Liss's uncle.
Happy with "friends," enemies, companions, adopting, & potential LIs (or heartbreaks!)
No killing or severe maiming, but you can (try to) scare him and beat him up.
Can travel anywhere.

Zacharie
He/Him (?) // AMAB // Pup

Needy • Pushy • Loud • Sensitive

Faction: Jakten, Bjar (pet, unclaimed son of an Einvald)
Relationship: Too young to know!

❤️❓

Wait till he's older! Given his parent's dynamic, Zeek will probably grow up to be possessive and loose.

🔥 ?

Spoiled, kind of a bully, and used to playing rough.

No killing or severe maiming, but you can knock him around or scare him.
Stays around Jakten, but starting to get curious and test his limits
