OOC// Okay, this is my first roleplay on this forum, so I hope it goes well. *crosses fingers* I noticed that they all tend to have furries, not actual animals...I'm not quite used to that. o.o I'll adapt in time, but for this roleplay, I'd be very happy if the characters could be actual wolves, actual mountain lions, actual whatevers..not ones that walk on two legs and resemble humans. Please bear with me, I thank you very very much for trying this for me. And instead of posting a list of character details, we should try writing them in our posts...it makes the story flow a bit smoother, I think.
Setting: A forest (I'll go into more detail in my intro)
Rules: Keep IC and OOC seperate, no invincible creatures, be nice occ, and thats about it. have fun! ^^
IC:
Long ago, before the English invaded the Americas, nature and humanity were one. They were not two seperate things, and species coexisted without much trouble. Those were the days before people forgot that they, like the animals, were creatures that came from the earth and needed the earth to survive. It was then, when the only humans were small villages of Native Americans, that the animals thrived in the forests without a major threat from man.
Deep in the unsettled country that is now known as the USA, a lone wolf pup roamed the lands. At the young age of two months, it was a struggle to survive. With a pelt of reddish-brown and black colors, she was an attractive young wolf, but unfortunately it meant she was easily spotted by larger creatures that might see her only as a snack.
For all of two days, she stayed in the den waiting for her mother to return with food. The third afternoon, she set out to find her mom, only to have a large eagle swoop out of the sky toward her a few yards from the den. Running to the safety of a bush, she waited until the bird was gone and made a dash for the den where she would stay safe until nightfall. As the moon rose, the youngster set out again in search of her mother.
Half the night had gone past, and she was becoming weary just as a familliar, but horrifying scent reached her nose. It was her mother's smell, but she was bleeding! Scampering across the forest floor, she followed the scent path the best she could until she reached the spot where her mother lay. Wimpering and nudging the corpse hopefully, she soon lay beside it to rest. The large she-wolf never rose to comfort her daughter, never opened an eye. The pup was alone. Unprotected, afraid, and miserably alone.

Nyx slinked quietly through the tall grasses. She blended in perfectly with the night because of her dark coloring. She'd have looked like a regular panther if she hadn't had two purple and black striped horns protruding from above her eyes, dragon wings, hard violet hard-plated scales running down her underbelly, and what looked like an asian lung's tail. Unlike most panthers, her paws were also violet to match her underbelly. (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/626580/) The cagon's ears perked at the sound of some whimpering. It sounded lonesome and mournful. Careful not to be seen nor heard, she crept closer to the origin of the cries. When she finally approached the culprit, Nyx realized that the reddish wolf was just a pup. Eyeing the body of the larger female, she assumed it was the mother. The cagon recoiled into the grass, but stayed out just enough to keep an eye on the pup.
((OOC: I couldn't resist tucking a picture of my character away in there somewhere as clickable words... But the picture is anthro. Picture that animal as feral. It's a hint, I guess for the furs out there who aren't good at visualizing. ))
-
IC: I land softly and silently onto the ground after the jump. i see the wings trailing through the grass so i follow. it was very hard to find me at night, because i was the leopard gone wrong. i was a black leopard. even though it comes in handy, the ridicule and slander i couldn't take, so i decided to follow the cagon. the only odd thing about me was this white symbol that had been on me scince about 15 seconds after i was born. well, i heard whimpering, and i watched as the cagon stopped. i kept going to see what all the commotion was, not knowing if the cagon was guarding it, or waiting for prey.
-
as i lay in the stream that led into a spring all around hidden by tall grass I lay there relaxing my eyes closed my body still with my mouth and nose just out of the water laying n the sand
-
After a few moments, her small nose picked up various scents from strange animals she did not know. Shaking slightly, she huddled closer to her mother for protection even though the wolfess wouldn't be able to provide any. Golden oculars peered into the dark night, but she was unable to see anything. Akira now lay silently, hoping her wimpers hadn't attracted anything bad.
OOC// Lovely picture, Nyx. ^^ I wish i could draw like that.

Please bear with me,
is that a pun? :P
ic: Roaming around the Native American camp (The Iraquoi, as they called themselves), a brave grey and black wolf quietly roamed around looking for food.
-
((OOC: Thanks. xD ))
The pup laid down and seemed to try and hide behind the corpse. It was obvious to Nyx that the creature must have no one else or she would've moved on by now. Her icy purple eyes peered out from behind the grass as the cagon heavily debated on stepping in on the situation, for she could sense others about the place. Whether the creatures that were roaming were friend or foe remained a mystery to her. Finally deciding it would be best for the pup, she stepped out of the grass and revealed her presence to the small wolf. Nyx sat beside the pup and curled her tail around her to try and serve as comfort and reassurance that she was not a predator.
-
seeing the Cagon curl her tail around the young pup made me realize that she was trying to be motherly. i turn my appearance white and step out of my sanctuary of grass. i eye the Cagon's teeth and sharp claws warily, hoping that she wouldnt strike so i could investigate the body.
OOC: yes my furry can change colors at will, but if nyx can be part dragon, i should be able to do something cool too XD lol but yeah if you dont want me to drop me a PM ill change it
-
The wolf, with the black and red eyes, takes a piece of meat that was mistakenly kept out in the open. He takes it to his little spot in the woods were he lives. He starts knawing at the tough deer meat that the Natives, the humans, killed.
-
Out of the corner of her eye, Nyx caught a glimpse of a shadow. Whatever it was came out of the grass....
Instantly, the cagon stood on all fours and spread her wings until the tips touched together to make herself look bigger than what she was. The fur along her spine bristled as she let a low growl escape her throat, never letting her tail move from the pup. She was prepared to fight if this leopard planned on having wolf for supper.
-
"its alright, im not hungry, just investigating the cause of those poor whimpers!!" i bark, and instantly turn white again, so she can see me.
-
((were you seeing my character Nyx?))
-
((OOC: Nah, I saw Lynxfox101's char. Leopards bark? ???))
The cagon remained tense and ready to fight, not responding to the leopard's words. Nyx knew of many creatures who would try to trick her. Her purple eyes seemed to radiate their own pale glow as she kept her eyes fixed on the leopard.
-
to prove myself, i laid down in the grass. i heard the rustling of leaves in the forest, so i pounced. i landed hard on a panda. "what are you doing here?"

Please bear with me,
is that a pun? :P
It wasn't meant to be...but I guess it is one, huh? lol
And lynxfox101, it's fine ^^ I dont mind odd characteristics/abilities.
IC: The pup flattened herself against the groud, looking up at the cagon fearfully. As the larger creature curled her tail around her protectively, Akira curled up beside it. "Who are you?" She asked curiously, calming a bit at the sense of safety she got from her. Then, a leopard appeared from the grass and the wolf's attention was diverted to her.
-
After Nyx was sure that the leopard had gone at least a short distance away, the cagon's fur smoothed out and her wings slackened until they were almost at her sides as she sat down again. Leaning down to get a better look at the pup, she gave a toothy grin, much like the Cheshire cat's and whispered, "You can call me Nyx. And just who might you be?"

((i'm a wolf in this one))
He finishes his meal and starts out to hunt for more (he was a growing pup, only a few months old).
-
I still lay in the water then suddenly the ground was shaking all around I being only a few months old and at least knowing danger splashed out of the water and under a pile of giant boulders and rock slabs as a herd of bison stampeded across the river and over the rocks and land down the river as i scrunched under shaking
-
He snickers at the poor fox being trampled by the bison.
-
growls at him and then lets out a laugh as the bison thunder his direction and thinks serves him right
-
His eyes widen as he starts running yelling, "YOU MORON! I HOPE YOU DIE!!!"
Since his parents are never around to tell him what is right and wrong, he just assumes everything is legal.
-
((OOC: Try to keep it appropriate. That's considered avoiding the word filter.))
-
((ok sorry. My character is kinda bad))
He heads back toward his spot and lays over, basking in the sun.
-
*slinks towards him and pulls him through a rocky tunnel back to the river* "I won't gewt wu fo that"  (ooc: still somewhat of a baby!) prances back to river and lays back down the way i was before
-
((OOC: It's alright, just don't do it anymore.))
-
still sleeping, and doesnt realize that a heard of bison turned in her direction.
-
spots a pup sleeping where the bison are going and pushes her out of the way under some rocks and rushes into the tall grass
-
"Pfft. At least someone cares." He chuckled to himself.
-
The pup wagged her tail slightly. "I'm Akira." A loud, thundering noise caught her attention and she looked toward the source. She couldn't see it, but there was definately something big in the distance. "What's that, Nyx?" Her head lowered to where she was just peeking over the cagon's tail.
-
He rolls his eyes as he lays down and goes to sleep in the sun.
-
Nyx straightened up and lifted herself just enough to see over the grass. In her current position, she would've looked like a prairie dog. Her eyes caught glimpse of a huge herd of bison across the horizon heading in their direction. Quickly, she stooped back down and scooped up the Akira and placing her in between her own shoulder blades. "Bison." she whispered as she began to run, then sprang off her hind legs and unfurled her wings taking flight.
-
He hears a sweeping sound. "What the..." He stares up in amazement at the mysterious creature running from the bison.
-
slowly disappears under the water in some seaweed and vanishes
-
The pup hung on to her new friend the best she could. Turning to look back at where they had just been, she wimpered. "But what about Mama?!" The fact that her mother no longer lived wasn't easy to accept. Being so young, she didn't really understand the concept of death either.
-
Nyx redirected herself in midair and swooped down to snatch up the wolf's body before the bison trampled it. It was heavier than it looked, but she was able to keep flight and hold the carcass in her fore paws with a little aid from her tail. "Akira... about the best I can do is find somewhere to bury her so that she's not picked apart by scavengers." The cagon, herself, did not realize that the pup was so young, she hadn't realized what death was...
-
omg peers up at the pup and cagon flying over head and decides to follow them
-
He hears a rumbling sound as the heard of bison draw near. He takes off running, but he trips. The bison trample him and break his neck, instantly killing him.
((I killed off my character becasue I'm not really into this rp, hope that was ok))
-
(( It's fiiine.))
-
cries because is scared of what happened to the other animal but keeps bounding after the cagon
-
i hear a swooping noise, and see the cagon flying over me. then someone jumps over me, and i watch someone following her. i decide to tag along too.
-
wonders when the cagon will land
-
(as im flying over an aparently abandaned indian camp, i notice a creature out of the corner of my eye. i swoop over it and notice a wolf pup on its back. swooping lower, i wrap my tail around the pup, making it secured to the creatures back.)
where are you two headed exactly? and if i may, the pups falling, shes in my tail so not to worry, much...
(i realize the creature is a cagon, part of the Halph-Bloods...)
do you remember the Halph-Bloods?
