Horrified by this turn of events, Paulance made a moving plea to spare her child, but to no avail. Ocith was exiled to a faraway land where he survived a few years stealing (and getting caught every time) before being exiled again and eaten in the wilderness by a wild signa.

Contrarily to his wife, Nieu had always been an honest gatherer, having never stolen even a radish in his life. Presumably, he was completely unaware of Paulance’ profession as he was outraged by his young son’s behavior and asked the clan leader to exile him.

We do not know whether Paulance encouraged this or not but he was obviously not ready for this line of work when at the age of two he attempted to steal food from Nieu Bettertime—his own father.

When she turned 30, she gave birth to her third child, Ocith Leverre. From his youngest age (and I really mean that) he was fascinated by his mother’s profession, wanting very strongly to emulate her.

This was a revelation to her: she was a natural. The payoff was much higher than anything else, and there seemed to be no consequences. She not only continued living almost solely on theft, but could even support a family doing so.

Paulance Leverre had a difficult childhood; food was scarce and her family was always on the move, looking for a better place. After having to beg strangers to survive, she eventually resorted to stealing at age 16.

It's cute that your mate and your lover are the same person, but it becomes pretty crazy when they're jealous of each other and fighting it off.
And it was only the beginning! So angry that his parents were poor he took it on the crocodiles... and rabbits.
sad and buggy story...
Clementille was starving. She managed to steal *nothing* from Antonon without getting caught. Yet, she was banished for doing that. She failed to plead her case and died of starvation in exile.

Allow me to present our #Chroniqueur project a bit.
The focus is *emergent narrative*
(still an open design problem).
The subgoal is avoiding the daunting learning curves and extensive micromanagement of existing emergent narrative games.
