And now, I present something I have barely planned at all. So, I'm going to need some help. Especially with names, mine completely suck as of now.
What it is: An urban fantasy RP about therianothropes (werecreatures)
What it's about: Two warring factions of said therianothropes: the tentatively named Kekkai, who worship the MotherEarth and want to wipe humans of the face of the planet because they see humans as a plague, and the Warders, who are trying to stop that from happening.
Who you can play as, Kekkai side: Wolf Tribe, Snake Tribe, Bat Tribe, Ape Tribe, Fox Tribe, and Lion Tribe. Like I said, the names suck.
Who you can play as, Warders side: Dog Tribe, Weasel Tribe, Cat Tribe, and Belyasha Tribe (which are like domestic foxes, if you will.)
Who you can play as, both sides: Hyena Tribe
What the mechanics are: All I've figured out as of now is that the therianothropes have three forms: human, anthropomorphic animal, and giant animal.
Ideas? Suggestions? I'll post culture-related things later.
Edit: Okay, couldn't resist. I've always liked hyenas, so I'm adding them. They're kind of playing both sides, so about half of the tribe is Prodigal and the other half is Kekkai.
Full Summary. IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS AT WRITING SUMMARIES kthxbai
An ancient conflict with no end in sight...
For hundreds of years, two factions of shapeshifters have fought for the fate of humankind. The Kekkai, who wish to return the world to a primordial state and heal their goddess, the Mother, from the ravages of human pollution and cities. And the Warders, who wish to stop this from happening and save humanity from certain genocide. Though the Kekkai were once the dominant force, the Warders have emerged victorious in many recent conflicts due to the intervention of Prodigals, former Kekkai who have defected to the Warder's cause.
But the scales may soon be tipped...
For deep within the pristine wilderness of Nicolet National Forest, Wisconsin, the Predator King, once the most powerful shapeshifter alive, stirs from his long sleep. Should the favored son of the Mother awake, he will without a doubt cause the end of humanity. Now, therianothropes from around the world travel to the United States- to either kill or seal away the Predator King once more, or to assure his revival. Either way, both want to make certain it will be their final battle.
Characters
Please be aware signups are still open!
Hashan, Silexcen, and Kyo- all Bats, played by Shade
Sacha, Simeon, Ektarina, and Fenya- all Belyasha, played by Xicrog
Meike and Na-oht- Fox and Wolf, respectively, played by Katanal. Classes plz?
Stella, Dydri, and Dal- all Weasels, played by Zylaa.
Rules and previously unmentioned mechanics
1. Well, the forum censors bad language automatically, so I don't think that'll be a problem.
2. NO PK'ing unless the creator specifically states here, on the OOC thread, they are opening their character to being killed.
3. Somewhat tying in with the previous statement, therianothropes heal at an accelerated rate compared to humans and are quite difficult to kill. However, they do heal slower from wounds caused by any sharp metal (not just silver), the claws of another therianothrope, magic, and burns.
4. Please post announcments, further character creation, comments, complaints, and OT-ness here rather than on the RP thread.
5. Kindly use common sense. Kekkai tend to prefer living in the wildernesses away from humans, so them having internet access is...kind of unlikely. If Kekkai want to send a message, they'll usually get another Kekkai to do so. Warders, on the other hand, will most likely have net access and the benifits with such.
6. Well, you always have to have some variation of this rule. Have fun!
7. All abilities, should you choose to use them (good idea to put time into making them, might I add in), have turn restrictions- usually anywhere from 2-10 posts before you can start using ANY abilities again. Limits are based on how powerful the attack is. If you're using something that just makes you teleport a few feet, that would only be about a three-post restriction. If it's something earth-shatteringly powerful like instantly killing someone, I would probably say you can only use that ability once and then still can't use another ability for fifteen posts, or something to that effect.
Actual thread will be up soon.
