Plot:
You wake up in what seems to be an old room, in rags or nothing at all. It's dusty, and seems to be styled in a medieval fashion. Surprised you aren't in your bed, you throw back the covers and look down to see that you're hands aren't your hands... They are something else. In this roleplay, the basic idea is that you've been transported to an alternate universe. In this universe, it seems to be set in medieval times, and there's something else... Somehow you have become your fursona. You don't know how it's happened, but the last thing you remember is lying down to sleep. You're not the only one that this has happened to, either. You may see faces you know while exploring.
On one side of the land, there's a valley nestled in the forest where there is a light kingdom. Generally, the good folk of society reside here. On the other side is the darker side of the kingdom where the sorcerer who brought you here resides. There are dungeons and prizes to plunder, ways of becoming a hero and completely your fursona in this world.
While this all seems like a dream come true, what if you miss the ones you loved back in the real world? Would you sacrifice being your fursona you've always wanted to be to get back home? What if you decided you liked being your fursona better and you wanted to stay? Would you betray friends, people you know, and stop them from accomplishing getting home?
You'll all start in a small town called Atlas, with nothing more than some rags and your wits. From there you can form fellowships to get back home, or prevent others from getting home. If the sorcerer is killed, you all go back home. Think deep down, would you really want to leave this world to go back home? Your decisions can determine this world's fate.
Rules:
- No godmodding.
- There will be an established post order. Please follow it.
- Each character should have one character sheet. You are playing as you in your fursona's body. Do not bring in family / friends unless they are participating in this RP. (Basically, you cannot play their character. They have to be in the RP themselves.)
- Each post should be in past tense, and legible.
- No one liners.
- THIS IS SET IN THE MEDIEVAL TIMES. I don't expect to see a lot of technology, but also not ridiculously overpowered magic. Be sensible.
- Any problems or questions? Me or Kre8tyve_St8** here on the OOC and we'll answer as best as we can.

Me and Chrono tried to keep Pokemon alive, but....(http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/6299/teamrocketx.jpg) (http://img824.imageshack.us/i/teamrocketx.jpg/) Aaanyway. This sounds like fun. :3

-
Can we still use terms from our former lives? Like...Talk about technology and junk. Cellphones, bug repellent, guns, etc.
-
Yeah, just know you might get odd looks from the folks around unless it's one of the characters that had been transported. They have not been invented in the world you're in now, so no one will know what they are, like I said, unless it's someone that was from the previous world you were in. You can even talk about personal events going on, too if you want, ect that happened in your previous "Real life" world. Chrono, you're approved. I don't think Advica is going to be posting until later around 9 or 10 EST just as a head's up. Or so she told me. Anyway, posting order:
1. Mortis.Reptus
2. Kre8tyve_St8**
3. SrgntCuddles
4. Advica
5. Gabag
6. Chrono
Now, as a quick consensus for everyone participating, do you want to stay open for more characters or close it with the amount we have now? Everyone must vote, please. I should also add, that you are still welcome to put up character sheets until the voting is complete. I know I will officially close it at 10 characters, though, I doubt there will be that many. Again, votes / opinions on this, please.
EDIT: Posting order has changed.
I put Advica last, but post as you can. If you are Advica, just post and we'll let you fall where you may. I'll iron out an official order once everyone has posted. Also, with your voting, tell me if you're an early poster or a late poster to help further smooth out the posting order.
1. Mortis.Reptus
2. Kre8tyve_St8**
3. SrgntCuddles
4. Gabag
5. Chrono
6. Advica
-
I think this should be closed for the time being. Six is a nice even number. And I post...Uh...When ever. I generally don't stay away for too long unless I'm asleep.
-
If our characters had power before we were put in them, do we just have to 'find' the power, or wait till it comes to use naturally?
-
Well, since you are not your character and you're waking up in this strange body, I imagine it would be something to adjust to. For example, I am still adjusting to my eyes being able to move independently of each other. If you do have magic, I imagine you wouldn't have much control over it, either. I mean, even something like a tail could throw off your balance and how you walk.
-
:o
I will not be held responsible for the amount of 'destruction' I might cause
-
I don't mind, just no god modding.
-
Guys, we're skipping over Advica until she posts. Feel free to post unless you already have, and then I'll establish an order. Also, more votes please.
Another question: Would you prefer this to be a free post or turn based?
-
Turn based. you just need to be strict. With turn based, I would think people feel more obligated to post. considering they would be holding people up.
-
You would think so.
-
Miss Mortis...
When we go outside, is it like 'cottage on the hillside' scene, 'dirty, dank, and damp hallway', or '17th century: a busy London street' kind of scene?
-
It'll be like a medieval square. I'll be going out first, so I'll be able to describe it enough for you guys to get your bearings.
-

Another question: Would you prefer this to be a free post or turn based?
I'd prefer a free post because then it feels less like a job that I hate and more like something i can enjoy
unlike the last rp I left
-
It's still your turn. >.>
-
I was thinking about making it a free post to an extent. As in, we can post freely, but it will happen in waves. Post, then don't post again until everyone has posted, and if someone wants to be skipped, they need to say so here. I mean, if we do it that way, it might be a little more lax, but still strict to an extent. I will start each chain of posting, if you get what I'm saying.
-
I get what your saying. It doesn't sound like too bad a thing. It will keep the RP moving anyway...
-
For Chrono's post, if the building fell, you can all get out before it falls unless you want it to fall on you.
-
For Chrono's post, if the building fell, you can all get out before it falls unless you want it to fall on you.
I figured we didn't leave the same building, but were still in the same town.
So I had myself jump out of a building that had burned, but had not collapse, around me.
Or you can do that too :D
-
Ah, well, you can do that, too. You can choose where to come out of in the town, but take note that there's not a whole lot of "bad buildings" around. xD

I just felt like getting an odd exit since apparently reptiles are unusual in the village.
I originally planned to fall right into the tinder, but I figured making use of his body in a more athletic/awesome fashion :3

If the sorcerer dies, does it just force us back to our 'reality', or did he craft the entire world around us? (meaning killing him destroys the 'reality')
-
Hey, I might be a bit late, but can I join?
Name: Kayle Storm
Species: Folf (fox/wolf)
Age: 18
Appearance: Lavender fur, with white tail tip and chest.
Personality (character): Shy, but has a bit of a wild side when provoked. Is fiercely loyal to his friends, even to the point of death.
Personality (you): Lazy, with a short temper. Loyal, and prefers to listen rather than speak.
-
Sure. Go ahead and post your intro, ect.
-
Awesome. Thankee much.
-
No problem, just try to post each day if possible. If you read above, we're going to do it in waves, so if you post (like you did now) you have to wait until after I post again to post again.
-
'aight. I'll be on mostly late at night, but may have a bit of a lapse on the weekends. I guess you can skip me on most Saturdays and Sundays.
-
Just to add a little bit about the world, like the canine girl said, the reptiles aren't on good terms with the wolves that live there due to the struggle, ect. Usually, if you've got fur, you're alright here. Most of the guard in the town is made up of wolves, though. The vendors are nice, kind hearted people that do not tolerate thieves, and if someone were to steal something, you can expect probably five more vendors plus the vendor you ticked off. They are a mix-matched bunch, and while most the population seems canine, a few other furry animals, feline, bear, ect. and sometimes avians on occasion. I don't mind if you're feline, for example, and make up some history about your race, just put it here and see if it's okay with everyone and myself first.
-
Then I guess me getting robbed by a Gecko fits just fine. :)
-
Well, I wasn't expecting a gecko, but it works because I have an idea. c:
You'll see soon. c:
-
is it alright if i post tomorrow here with the racial backstory i wanted to make up and the real post in the actual rp
It's hard to get the creative energies flowing at 2:40 A.M.
-
Looks like kayle saved me first.
-
Sure, I don't mind. Though, if you're making a racial background, I think Advica is feline, too, so it would have to be okay with her, too. Unless you have something general that branches off specifically for. I dunno. But I get what you mean about creative juices at 2:40 am.
-
Creative juices coagulate at approximately 2 o'clock. They evaporate by 2:15, and fade completely by 2:30. I know the feeling.
-
Well i was planning on a Lynx specific thing and hoping that there was a universal feline racial background to work off of,
if not I can still do my Lynx thing
-
Sure. Also, Reno, remember not to post again until I do, we're trying to do it in "waves," where everyone posts once after I make the initial post. I didn't really get much input on free post vs. order, so I kinda tried to make a middle ground.
-
Pro-waves, vote.
-
I'm liking the waves
the freedom to post whenever, while you still have a schedule to maintain
clever
-
\o3o/!
Yey, I made something useful.
-
Yay 4 usefulness-...ticity...
Also, how many times can we post? Like twice?
-
You post once until you see me post again. c:
-
Also, this applies to when I post as Romei, not as an NPC. So look for my character doing something before you post. I know it sounds confusing, but it helps if you get what I'm saying. Also, I should add that there isn't a high chance of being mugged here, especially if you look the way you do in rags or are reptilian, your presence makes the people in the town uneasy if you're a reptile..
-
well, until we actually get more than two reptiles... I'd rather put it as: "the only ones who should be worried about trouble are Romei and Chrono due to their cold-blood, scales, and their 'wierd' eyes."
However, there could be the chance that city reptiles live in a cavern/sewer-based network just underneath the good side of the world... but 'dats up to Mortis :3
-
I have a plan in mind already. And like I said, it's not like people are going to attack you left and right, but they will be uneasy around you because you're reptilian because at this point it seems like just about all reptiles had disappeared until now.
-
Miss Mortis
I was hoping, i could make the Lynx's have a background that came off as evil, and a reason for everyone to think they're either trying to exterminate or enslave everything they see.
I can dream up the stuff in my actual post, but I wanted your say so before I do so.
-
Well, you can, just know that really, the Lynx's would fall into the reptilian / furry tension. So maybe they were doing it to reptiles first? I dunno. I wanted there to be tension between the mammals and the reptilians in general.
-
i could do that
hated by both, loved by none

The 'Dread Armor' i had in mind for Emperor Tyrannus, the same armor he's currently buried in.
-
That's fine, I'm just somewhat weary because I have a plot in mind already, and I just don't want too many elements to come together at once. I don't mind if there's a history for your species, just make sure if coincides with what already exists.
I'll go ahead and say that the reptiles were known for their brutal training; other people didn't agree with it (consider the training of the Spartans), but they were almost all trained to fight. The reptiles were something fierce to fear because of the broad spectrum of specialties they had; they had offensive fighters (such as dragons, raptors, gators, komodos, montiors, ect.), defensive fighters (turtles, thorny devils, ect.), and other specialists like doctors. They were also the equivalent of China at one period in time, focusing inward to make themselves more self reliant. After they were trained up, they moved outward, where they started to eradicate wolves and other canines in some blood related war; no one is sure why. Rumors spread about them moving outward to slaughter other mammals, but the reptilians seemed to disappear before anyone could confirm it. Again, no one knows why. People speculate that the mammals succumbed to black magic to kill them all off.
Of course, background shared here is something that our characters don't know just yet and won't know unless they stumble across it in town.
-
Oh i didn't mean to interupt any special plans you had, but in my history I was assuming that the Emperor's surprise betrayal of the reptiles would've given him the immediate edge needed to topple their main governing force.
anything i need to edit or is it fine the way it is
because i could edit anything you need/want/streetcarnameddesire
-
It's fine. Maybe the toppling of them caused them to start turning inward and building themselves up to start the genocide.
-
that sounds fun, so I'm guessing the Lynx's get toppled, everything goes back to normal, except too normal and another war happens where the Lynx people aren't allowed to join.
-
Yeah, the war starts with the reptiles striking out at the mammals.
-
Does this include the Lynx people or just everyone else in the world
-
It includes them. I'll assume that the wolven territory was the closest, so it started there, and people guessed that they were going to move to they Lynxes. No one is sure.
-
*balls up* I'm such a victim of circumstance... but I don't want to retreat to the woods just yet. :P
-
I have something in mind for you Chrono.
-
Waiting for Cuddles, Gabag, Kayle, and Kre8tyve_St8** to post. Let's not let this RP die, guys! D:
-
Has posted.
-
Has posted too. :)
-
Please don't mess with Chrono's path, hes barely conscious and steadily dying since he pulled the dagger out. Let him get to the inn please!!
-
fine mr touchy Ill help you into the Inn then
-
fine mr touchy Ill help you into the Inn then
I figured you'd want an answer to your question, not Chrono dropping dead in front of you from blood loss.
-
I think I'd better drop out. I work such odd hours that I leave too early to post and am too tired to post once I get off work. Sorry! Don't let this one die guys, it is really great so far!
-
I guess bye then, Advica. And I think I should stop skimming the posts...I didn't know Chrono got stabbed... o.O
-
Mortis has the dagger to prove it :3

I think I should stop skimming the posts...I didn't know Chrono got stabbed... o.O
Didn't Shinzuu's rps teach you anything?! >:(
-
I've just been feeling lazy as of late. :/
If it's any consolation, I just read everything. 0:)
-
Well.. I did say I had a plan for Chrono.. But, I'll have to readjust now.
EDIT: Also... Again, this is a neutral ground. I don't want to have to stress that again and again. There's not going to be people attacking you left and right. If it keeps up the guard is going to get involved. I allowed the first mugging by a gecko because I could have it play into the plot line. The next few can only screw things up.
-
I'm confused as to what wasn't supposed to happen, was I not allowed to carry the lion?
-
Name: Kitt Beesley
Species: Red fox
Age: 21
Height: 6'2"
Appearance: profile pic, blue eyes red hair black "socks and gloves" white mask that trails to stomach
Personality(character):rather upbeat and inventive has a way with manipulating people with words but loves a fight as well major adrenaline junkie
Personality(you):similar to my character but a little more laid back
-
I'm confused as to what wasn't supposed to happen, was I not allowed to carry the lion?
Its really easy for me to edit if that makes it easier :P
-
Well, the lion wasn't supposed to attack to begin with. Lol, but it's fine.
-
Name: luke
Species: dragon
Age: 16
Height: 6' 0"
Appearance: very dark almost pitch black scales and a grey underbelly has 5 horn on his head 4 big ones on the top sides (2 on each) and a small horn on the tip of his nose.
Personality(character): bashful quick witted and even faster handed luke is cool and calculating even though he makes some silly decisions. he is extreamly annoying to fight against due to his hardened scales along with a sence for danger... which in quieter times leads him towards it alot.
Personality(you): shy and secretive though quick witted and athletic.
-
Well, the lion wasn't supposed to attack to begin with. Lol, but it's fine.
Well, he had an arm broken so he would be pretty angry with his working arm, plus hes the same feline that stopped him from walking towards Romei.
It was truly the idea that only one or two people would actually get in his way, and I wanted them to be old so their 'hate' would be considered personally justified...
but you say its ok, so I'll just stop there :3
-
Sorry Luke, but we've had trouble in the past with you and this roleplay. ;c
There's still one slot open.
-
ah dont worry about that im more mature now
-
If my last post makes problems, I can edit it. I just wasn't sure what to do... so, yeah, sorry it took so long to post. Been gone all weekend... But I'm getting a laptop soon, so maybe I can post a bit more frequently.
-
It's fine. Hmm.
-
It's fine. Hmm.
That "Hmm" makes me nervous... Should I be running for my life?
-
Knowing Rigor...Yes. Seriously, leave town. You may live this yet...Did you see the way she looked at Reno? Blood thirsty ravenous beast she is...Run while you can! :D
-
Thanks for the advice. *Hides under desk with army helmet and dart gun* You shall not take mah fort!!!! (Unless I run out of noms...)
-
How can you run if you're unconscious?
-
In teh metaphysical realm, anything is possible...
-
How can you run if you're unconscious?
Sleep-running!!
just kidding ;)
-
Hey I was wondering If I could join this RP? It seems really interesting and one I could really sink my teeth into
You said use your fursona right? Well, I don't know if mine would be a bit overpowered. Because he's undead...and slightly demonic. Should I take those out?
I'll do the character sheet Because that'll relatively stay the same regardless
Name: Riku
Species: Enhanced Arctic Wolf
Age: 29
Height: 8'5"
Appearance: Matted Charcoal grey fur with a single silver line running down his back, ending at the base of his tail. He has icy blue eyes, sunken into their sockets. A scar on his face ensures that half his muzzle is contorted into a snarl. Rikus claws are long and sharp, unkempt and dirty, with jagged edges. He stands slightly hunched over, betraying his full height (think of the beasts posture). Chains are wrapped around the wrists and neck.
Personality(character): Riku is very reserved, and selfish. Though not necessarily evil. He keeps himself to himself and only speaks when spoken to. He does not make friends easily and is very untrusting. Due to his size and intimidating appearance he rarely has any positive contact with others. Making some of his responses seem rude.
Personality(you): Very trusting and always puts others before himself. Likes to be the centre of attention and is quite popular. Is very loyal and supportive of his family and friends. He is well liked and makes friends easily due to his kind nature and relaxed outlook.
Hope that's good enough
Oh and one last thing, the only thing Riku has to his advantage other than his size and the strength that comes with it. is the ability to control fire to a limited degree. Oh and the fact that he's already dead. So yeah he's harder to kill. but obviously we can take that out if you want :)
-
I don't mind if you're character is undead or strong and stuff, just, like I said with others, know that you won't be able to control powers and such at first. I mean, you'll eventually be able to, but it won't be for a while, you know? Also, again, I don't care as long as you can balance out his strengths and weaknesses. I'll let you post, and if it's too much, I'll let you know. Be sure to read through all the OOC, because there might be important info you'll need to know.
-
Yeah, thanks alot :) I've already read through the OOC and will start to read through the actual RP before I post. He does have weaknesses but I didn't know If I should post them. Basically due to being undead he doesn't have alot of energy and so gets tired quickly, also he cant swim or deal with any large amount of water. Yeah I dont think he'll discover the fire ability until alot later in the RP. thanks again
-
For the record, Chrono, you are in a bed, a small makeshift bed, it's not too bad, but the mattress a little lumpy and torn on one of the edges, it's inner contents (straw) falling out, sitting on a few wooden boxes in the far corner. There's a small nightstand and on it are some peasant's clothes in your size that Armel has gotten you.
Gabag, one of the vendors saw you grab the cloak you got, I'm hoping you'll duck into the baker's shop that's nearby. Hint hint.
-
Time to flee! B)
-
I am going to assume Friend or Foe is dead since not all the players are keeping up with it.
-
Or the person who was supposed to post, has been MIA the entire time.
but if its dead, fudge :/
Or... have kyle be conscripted to the church and Riku sold out to a circus, just for the sake of a dark storyline :P
just throwing in an idea ;)
-
Name: Dov
Species: grizzly bear
Age:18
Height: 6'10"
Appearance: Brown fur, deep blue eyes, uncut muscle, just tattered shorts to begin with
Personality(character): reserved, doesn't say much, doesn't take crap from anybody
Personality(you): mellow, funny, will take off your head if you mess with my friends
I think i did this right.
-
yeA im gonna be away till the 15th or so so skip me
-
Alright, will do.
-
oh darn im always too late to join these cool RPs, hope it goes well.
-
Is Chrono going to the Inn for a certain reason?
-
He probably forgot that Armel is no longer there after meeting Gabag, someone could notice him as he is running around like an idiot before he realizes his mistake and goes to the blacksmith :3
-
Sorry we're kind of at a hault. Mordecai can't post for now because he was in the process of moving, but he will post soon!
-
There is a god! :)
-
Sorry for the delay. The internet was kind of slow, and a lot of things have happened.
But I should be able to post. I'll just have to be slightly varied in time.
-
Hey, no worries, I knew you were busy. :3
-
Waiting on everyone to post, yo.
