Title: The Obscura Railroad (Open // Sign - Up and OOC thread)
Post by: Keinai on October 27, 2015, 02:20:16 AM
All The Details
It never occurs to you where you find yourself.
The sun never warms our hides and the sky often weeps for our existence. You pad hurriedly down a stretch of abandoned rails; lichens and old pitch cling to the rough bleeding flesh of your paws. The early mist of arriving rain already clinging to your prickling pelt- hairs standing like quills in response to your fear. This is when you see a slick black form like floating tar coming in your direction, sprinting down the rail southbound, as you face the north. "Be quiet, my dear. We've been waiting a long time for you. Follow me and live in brotherhood and comfort. Fear yourself no more." She whispers, parted lips suddenly just inches from your own maw. You are lost, hungry and somehow deeply anticipated by the single most peculiar race in this region.
What's your response?

Our Story


A lot of unpleasant things happen here, things that in your world would not be talked about. In this dreary forest hidden from comfort, monsters crawl beside the monarchs. Watch your paws, be careful where you place them...it's easy to upset the balance in this realm. There is everything to go wrong.


We live here by will...loving always and always finding irony in our endeavors...such as murder with grace and starvation with purpose. The mother we share believed in a higher knowledge, a richer format of living with the idea of dauntlessness. She believed that our souls live forever in the memory of our obscurities therefore she nourished the strange. Each with a personality like the spiderweb, ever lasting and carefully designed with no prior knowledge of construction. Join us, share our mother. Be odd, and let your body flourish.

Creed


No one shall slay my spirit.
I am obscure; my mother is my faith, my father is my god.
 I shall always express respect, even in haste.
I am obscure; my mother is my story and my father is my voice.
I'll never spill innocent blood without suffering.
I am obscure; my mother is my glory, my father is my gore.
The secrets I keep come with the promise of reason, slander is punishable by death.
I am obscure; my mother is my home, my father is my future.
I am an artist, let no storm put out the flame of my desire for eternal legacy,
I'll live by my love, battle with my wits and defend tooth and claw for these peculiarities.
All strangers are welcome to be judged.

Hierarchy


Alphess(1/1)~ Arcanum


Alpha(0/1)~ Jacob


Mothers(Unlim.)~ Maylien


Fathers(Unlim.)~ Cecil


Thetess(0/1)~


Theta(0/1)~ Warden


Deltas(0/4)~


The Children(Unlim.)~


Thieves(Unlim.)~ Ko


Grimes(Unlim.)~




Explanations
Note: Though there is zero power struggle, females are put on a higher pedestal than males for they are believed to be the more complicated, therefore more valuable sex of the two, for mystery is cherished in the customs.




Alphess(1)~ The female leader of Obscura, oversees major actions. Her main role is to keep the electricity flowing and advertise fertility with celebrations in spring and joy with each birth.




Alpha(1)~ Being the strength of the pack, it is the alpha's role to maintain a strong heart, representing control and ambition, along with providing and example of what both compassion and violence looks like. As any male, the alpha is also sworn to protect the alphess's heart and physical perfection, as she is untouched by any other...a virgin until her happy wed.




Mothers(Unlim.)~ Those who have reigned, or have bore more than six offspring (still or living). Generally, the mothers are older members who display proud feminism and they often are the main informers of Obscura, teaching all the younger members about mating, parenting, heat, death and gratitude. The mothers also are the females with the strongest maternal instincts, therefore whelps may also nurse from the mothers- nursing is a powerful ritual, being the source of nutrition and life.




Fathers(Unlim.)~ The fathers are also generally older members. They show how to nicely combine pride with modesty, strength with empathy, and how to love one's self as well as how to stay humble. Usually war heroes, fathers may also be ex alphas. Fathers are also the main story tellers, teaching of constellations.




Thetess(1)~ The thetess leads hunting parties, prayers for kills along with helping define battle strategies. The thetess plays the role as would our idea of Artemis, with the fathers' advisory.




Theta(1)~ Like Apollo, the theta leads all acts of violence with guidance from the fathers. Any battle, brawl, war, scrap or even an argument is managed and ultimately ruled by the theta.




Deltas(4)~ The deltas provide help and assistance to the thetas and alphas.  They are the worker bees, though their main job is usually maintaining the health of the mothers and fathers, as both alphas and both thetas are generally younger than the mothers and fathers therefore more independent.




The Children(Unlim.)~ The children are the life blood of Obscura, being the most numerous members. They carry out daily tasks with little disturbance, displaying happiness, obedience and comfort.




Thieves(Unlim.)~ The thieves are still welcomed, believe it or not...but live under separate conditions on the territorial outskirts. Thieves though have a very important job, but are low ranking because they can be quickly replaced, and there is always a long line for the position, as rogues seek such a place. Many new members not of Obscura blood are placed here, but eventually move up if they prove their worth. Thieves are like guards, maintaining the territory and stealing from other territories, other creatures and humans. Thieves also help maintain the general habitat, weeding out foreign plants and spreading floral seeds. Thieves are generally the most artistic, yet the most unreliable and least sociable.




Grimes(Unlim.)~ Being the lowest ranking members, Grimes are frowned upon even by thieves. Grimes are of the shadiest and cruelest members- two qualities of which are not desirable oddities. Usually put to this rank as punishment, grimes can work their way up the ladder again over time...but are typically unwanted for their filthy, cruel and crass nature...however, they do serve a purpose. In turn for their services such as dung, scraps and pest management, grimes will always be guaranteed equal food and shelter.

Mandatory Rules and Regulations





1. I own this thread, and I request that you all not argue with one-another or me. You'll receive one warning for this before you're kicked  depending on the severity.


2. Enjoy yourself! True, I will not tolerate arguing, but I strongly encourage friendly collaboration and fun. We're all here to write, so be kind. If you're not enjoying yourself, you may politely PM me recommendations, questions, and problems. There isn't any reason for you to be here if it isn't fun.


3. I'll be able to tell if you don't read my rules...I'm no fool. If you have a question or cross a line that was fairly explained here, then I'll ask you to reference back here. These rules are mandatory.


4. Now, I have been encouraged to be a bit more lenient. I certainly will be since this is a democratic thread. Sure, I am the empress of the world but I'm fair :)  just don't abuse your leeway please.


5. This is a mature, advanced, integrated, interesting and diverse thread. Anything goes. There is no content that is against my rules other than content that directly hurts, offends, or harasses another player or against the roleplaying rules of the forum. I will not tolerate bullying. I will always intervene. If I feel you are being out of line or obsessive, I'll make the decision to kick you from the thread. I am responsible for the occurrences here and the well being of my players since I own and run this thread. If you need anything at all, do not hesitate to ask me for some changes through PM. Violent and explicit language and content is allowed here, but requires a warning so that players who are not interested in reading may skip over. Spoilers work well for this too. This thread is not intended for hateful or overtly sexual themes, and is not over-the-top in gore. I trust that if you write mature content, then you're mature enough to handle it. Though it may come up within reason, inappropriateness is not what this thread is for. There is a time and a place for everything. This is the most important rule and I'll refer to it often. Thank you.


6. Rule number six is a rule containing the usual no-nos;  no two-person flooding, don't be inconsiderate of others who may or may not be on, no prejudice, and no surprise plots. All major plots are pre-discussed or in some way or another, brought up.


7. There is no specific number of days that you can/cannot be gone, because I know we all have real lives other than this pleasant world of the creative. However, if it is over 46 hours that you are not present, do not expect us to wait for your return. My one rule in this area is that you warn me/the other players if you are to be absent for any significant amount of time. This is to be courteous. If you want/have to permanently leave then we will just not give your character any mind anymore if you do not kill them off yourself.


8. Because this is an advanced thread, I welcome you ALL to share new "word-of-the-day" finds if you come across one, I encourage you all to correct spelling/grammar mistakes as soon as you notice them. I even invite you to (politely) correct me if the need/opportunity arises. I'm still human, I make mistakes too. However, do not rudely point out another person's mistake if it is just a little something like a spelling error.


9. Any species is welcome, but please keep in mind that animal's limitations. For instance, a shark may not be able to run fast, but it very well may be a remarkable swimmer.


10. Finally, a maximum of three characters is allowed per person. Just make sure you can give them all some love. :)

Other Guidelines


Mature THEMES are permitted, but no content. You may imply something but that doesn't mean writing it out, even if it's in a spoiler. This only pertains to extreme content, however violence and a few heated moments will only have to be put in spoilers.

Player Information
*Only need to fill out for the first character*
Screen Name~ FaolinWolf
Why are you interested in joining?~ Well, I established this thread so it would only make sense...
What gender character do you generally RP?~ I usually role play female characters, though I have had some very successful male characters.

Character Information
(http://img06.deviantart.net/2e24/i/2003/45/7/1/blackwolf__crossroads.jpg)
Name~ Arcanum (means 'Mystery' in Latin)

Sex~ Female
Age~ 22 years.

Visual Details~ Arcanum is very thin, with a long feline-like frame and a slender muzzle. Each paw petite, equipped with remarkably long claws. Her structure is built for speed, not warfare. She's also this most sought-after dame within the pack, as she is the untamed and untouched alphess, after all. Her eyes are a brilliant shade of cold silver, making her look perfect aside from her half-ear. One day after consulting with a thief, another thief had come up behind and attempted to hurt her, clamping down on her right ear for a grip. She bucked, throwing her head down, thus, ripping off her ear. Arcanum managed to make it out quickly, though she never made a formal accusation of the incident.

Obscurities~ What makes Arcanum so incredibly odd is that she is always collected. Her composure astounds many, for there is little that can disturb her. Because of this, harm is drawn to Arcanum like moths to a flame, all too seduced by the inability to torment her. The fathers could tell you numerous grotesque stories of her upbringing and how sick it should have made her...and yet, she continues to go on with a welcoming, sly and polite attitude.

Personality~ Arcanum truly suits her title as there is no greater mystery than her pitch-black and ever on leading heart. Many have already tried to achieve her flower and love...even as she is young, but somehow, (though she always seems interested) they walk away, all with dignities scarred. Even then, all she can do is display that same, attractive yet eerie smile that suggests she could not possibly be guilty of such calamities. Not that she's a sadist by any means, but Arcanum is virtually untouchable, as most just simply aren't interesting or strange enough for her. Disaster comes begging for her attention every so often, and by how quickly and expressionlessly she deals with it, horror is nothing more than the every day rain her pack experiences. One would suppose this odd behavior is to show mental strength...but another could easily argue that she isn't mentally sound at all, and her exotic serenity is just a beautiful result of insanity.

History~ Though she never speaks of it, for Arcanum apparently prefers to always remain in the present, you can always ask the fathers for the tales of her upbringing and they'll share with you the following. "The alphess hmm? Ah yes, lovely Arcanum. She wasn't born here...for a long time, nobody was. She had no particular ties to our religion, creed, or passed alphas...but one day she just sort of...wandered in and literally sat down. Being just a bitty little whelp, nobody found themselves in haste when she trespassed. Though she never stayed permanently...Arcanum would always come at dawn, then just sit and watch us with those same amused, cunning little eyes that she keeps now, as though she were conspiring something great. I remember though...that as she grew, Arcanum's physical health dwindled as the days passed. She appeared to be starving and beaten, sometimes her paws and stilts were bent in unnatural ways and her lips were often split. Sometimes vertebrae stuck out along her spine, and sometimes her tear ducts were bleeding. Arcanum never acknowlaged this, and for some reason...nobody ever asked her. Day in and day out Arcanum would come and go without a word, somehow immune to her own injuries, always evidently pleased to see us. There was one day though, that she wasn't so capable of going about her regular business. This was on her second birthday, the day she had become a dame, rather than a lass. Arcanum wordlessly dragged herself back into our territory appearing as though she'd just barely escaped something, though her injuries proved other wise. We fathers realized how lucky...or smart she was. Arcanum let my father in on her story, a tale not even I will disclose. Three days later, he died, and she joined us with a new determination that we didn't recognize. That third day was also the day Arcanum began to speak again."

Desired Rank~ Alphess

Role Play Sample~ "Hush sweet thing, close your lips and look at me." She commanded, and the whelp did as he was told as she held him between her front stilts. "In don't want to know why you're weeping. It has already been done, and whatever it is, it no longer matters." She assured him, and though the words would have otherwise seemed cold, her tone was milky and sweet. The whelp fed into this eagerly and nodded, chirping sounds of glee as he nestled into her chest. Arcanum raised her head again, peering outside of her lonely den at the mothers, and envying them. She vowed that one day, she'd be one. Arcanum knew she'll belong there, where she could nurse and teach all the whelps the proper way of handling themselves, instead of having to steal one from a sleeping mother now and then. "Archy?" Cooed the little creature, jerking her attention back down to him. "Yes?"..."I want to wed you." He said, through muffled lips as drowsiness set in. "Everyone does. I'm afraid you'll have to try harder." She answered. Apparently, the whelp though she was just teasing him and he coughed, giggled and dozed off. Ear pinned in curiosity, Arcanum realized she failed to express her own seriousness. "Count the sheep now, little one." The alphess murmured finally, setting down her own head, putting at ease her ever spinning mind.

Technically in the modern era, but they're so far from human contact they're still stuck in a group/territory arrangement with surrounding areas of the wilderness. More feral than human, they are.

Why are you interested in joining?

I have never really done an advanced serious rp and I want to give it a try. I also really like the story concept and think it be fun to do.

What gender character do you generally rp?

I generally do female character in an rp but I like to experiment sometimes with male characters.


Character Information
(http://)
Name: Maylien Varsine
Sex: female
Species: fennec
Age: 36
Desired Rank: Mother
Visual Details: She is a fennec fox with long blonde hair, blue eyes and is six months pregnant with her 8th child. She appears middle aged and she tends to wear a long red, sleeveless dress that is loose fitting so it doesn't restrict her belly.
Obscurities~ she has weird eating habits and will sometimes eat random things without thinking.
Personality~ Maylien is kind and caring and does her best to make sure everyone feels happy even in the worst situations. She often tries to find a diplomatic solution to most things and hates conflict. However she knows when a firm hand is needed and can be actually quite scary when she needs to be.
History~ Maylien was born and raised in the pact and has bore 6 children as well as an 8th who is on its way. She always loved children and grew up wanting to be just like her mother. She studied the process well and even took some medical training to learn how a to help a women give birth. As soon as she turned 18 she starteid down the path to be a mother having child after child in a span of  year in between births. When she turned 24 she had given birth to six children, all of them healthy and she was able to care for each one with remarkable effectiveness. She was allowed to be a mother and is still capable of giving birth, although she has decided to take it slow. Her mate is a Theta wolf named Warden Varsine, who has helped her give birth to all her children. All six children have moved out.

Role play sample.

"Alright children, go and play." Maylien said as she and her mate Warden had lead their children to a nearby stream for some exercise and fun. The children cheer and quickly strip down to their swim wear and run into the stream, while their mother sits down on a big rock with her youngest child Mason in her arms.
"I glad we were able to make it here, I almost thought I would pass out it was such a long trip." Maylien said taking deep breaths.
"You should have stayed home, the way you are. I could have taken care of them just fine." Warden said sitting next to her.
"And miss my children having fun? I would never." Maylien smiled and rubbed her extended belly.
"Just take things a little more slowly, I know this isn't your first time but you don't want to push things."
"Nonsense...oh! I think the baby is kicking." Warden looked and saw little signs of movement coming from Mayliens belly. Mason curiously poked at his mom's belly and it stopped.
"...I can't help but feel happy with the way things are. You know?" Maylien said and locked eyes with her mate.
"Yes, and I know things can only get better." The two turned to watch the children play and at that moment everything felt perfect.

Post by: Keinai on October 27, 2015, 10:36:25 PM
Maylien is accepted, however all of her children and her mate require forms, if you plan on keeping them in context.


I'll be a bit more lenient on the children and only require their names, ages, genders, and anything else you might want to add, but Warden needs a form too.
Title: Re: The Obscura Railroad (Open // Sign - Up and OOC thread)
Post by: Tina on October 27, 2015, 10:42:15 PM
Ok the children weren't going to be used that much anyway. Warden I guess does need a form but give me second.
Title: Re: The Obscura Railroad (Open // Sign - Up and OOC thread)
Post by: Keinai on October 27, 2015, 10:48:07 PM
Okay, maybe she can just be a first-time mother so you'll just have to make a form for Warden right now, and when the pup becomes more independent, it can have a form too? Just a suggestion, but she's your character. ^^'
Title: Re: The Obscura Railroad (Open // Sign - Up and OOC thread)
Post by: Tina on October 27, 2015, 11:02:16 PM
I guess and the pups could have all moved out...yeah that would make things easier. Let me make a few edits.

Post by: Cecilia Peromi on October 27, 2015, 11:11:01 PM
I have a question: With the father comes the mother and children. Do I need to create these characters? Or would you be the one controlling them?
Title: Re: The Obscura Railroad (Open // Sign - Up and OOC thread)
Post by: Keinai on October 27, 2015, 11:13:25 PM
A Father is simply a male elder, though they are like fathers to the Obscura as a whole, not just their kin. Hence their title.  :)


So unless you want your character to have a mate and offspring, you're fine as you are.
Title: Re: The Obscura Railroad (Open // Sign - Up and OOC thread)

Ok, I get it now. I was just curious.
Title: Re: The Obscura Railroad (Open // Sign - Up and OOC thread)
Post by: Tina on October 27, 2015, 11:53:16 PM

Do I still need a role play sample for warden even though he as in mayliens?

Character information
Name: Warden Varisne
Sex: Male
Species: Wolf
Age: 38
Desired Rank: theta
Visual descriptor: white fur with several scars on his chest, shoulders, and one running down his cheek. He wears a black shirt, black pants and keeps a sword at his belt
Obscurities~ when thinking he will rub his scars.
Personality~ almost radiates an aura of strength and authority, which is pretty standard for a theta. However when around Maylien his attitude softens and shows that he can be kind and loving, it's just buried a little. He is a loyal mate to her and would do anything to keep her safe.
History~ ever since he was little, Warden had dreamed of being a warrior. As a cub he often played soldier and pretended to fight invisible enemies with a wood sword. When he grew older he actually started to train with real weapons and got better and better. He devoted almost all his time to training...until he met Maylien. They met at age 13 and Warden thought she was the most beautiful fox he had ever seen. They became mates later on and even when Warden became a theta, he tried to devote as much of his time to helping her raise the children.
Role Play Sample~

Why are you interested in joining?: It looks like a fun and intricate RP, give me more practice at writing paragraph responses.
Which Gender do you usually RP as?: I RP as both pretty equally, I have made both male and female characters and probably equal experience between them.

Name: Jacob Hail

Sex: Male

Age: 28

Species: Grayfox

Desired Rank: Alpha

Visual Details: Jacob has the normal gray, orange, and black fur coloring and patterns of a grayfox, save for his right ear which is orange. He has a muscular build, more toned then bulky, and very fit, his physique honed by countless battles and fights. A different number of wounds and scars cross his body to prove this, the two noticable ones being a long jagged cut running along his left cheek and the other being seven lines going down his left arm, to straight and accurate not to be self inflicted. The foxs eyes are a dark blue, with a cold a threatening stare that seems to be filled with malice intent.

Obscurities- Through years of battle Jacob has developed a highted sixth sense and keen perception, noticing small weaknesses or faults in his enemy stance to quickly deliver a fatal blow. Almost like having eyes in the back of his head, its near impossible to sneak up on him.

Personality: For the most part Jacob is quiet and serious, almost always holding a blank expression and pushing everything else down inside him. When ever he does express emotion though, its anger or annoyance, tending to have huge bouts of rage that result in something getting punched or broken.  He only really seems to come out of his shell when hes on the battlefield, but in a horrifying, primal, way, leaving as many bloody  bodies in his wake as he can. He lives to fight and is loyal to a fault, never disobeying any order he is given. But the Obscure culture, religion, and  rituals are met with hesitation and resentment from the vulpine, and, while he never questions how things are run, he rejects these ideals in his mind.

History- Jacob was not of Obscure blood, and not much is known about his origins. From what could be gathard, he was apart of another tribe, more barbaric and brutal then that of Obscure. He was found by a hunting party in a field littered with bodies, half dazed and staring into his blood covered hands while he rammbled under his breath. The corpses around him were later discovered to be the remains of his tribe, but by who ir what killed them, and why Jacob was spared, is still unknown, and the grayfox refuses to talk about it or the scars he carries. Eventually people gave up and stopped asking. But to the wisest Mothers and Fathers they could tell something was wrong, something the fox was hiding that caused him great pain and internal struggle. At first he settled amongst the theives and became a guard , but he didnt stay their for long. He pushed, proving himself over and over, determined to move up in the rribe and move up he did, eventually coming to the rank of Alpha.

RP Sample- The woods around Jacob was peaceful and quiet, the only sound reaching his ears were the russle of dew covered leave shifting in the wind, giving the atmosphere a feeling of strange serentiny. This was always the perfect place for him to come and be alone. Memories always came back to him here, and as he took a seat in the wet grass, they started to well up from the depths of his mind. The fox let out a shuttered breath as he relived that day through memories, his chest tightning into a knot with a feeli he only knew to be dread. He wanted nothing more in the world but to forget, but all of this was needed and done with purpose. Even though his gods had long ago abandoned him, their wrath remained, and to simply willingly forget their punishment would evoke their anger like no other.

Character Information[/u]
(http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a228/PandaRose/RP%20characters/animals/blackwerewolf.jpg)
Name~ Ko
Sex~ Male
Species~ Wolf
Age~ 29
Desired Rank~ Thief
Visual Details~ He has unkempt, rich black fur covering his entire body--not a single marking in sight. His pale yellow eyes are the only things that stand out from his body, other than the occasional glint of the metal in his necklace or armband. His body is thick and rigid, but his joints are supple and he can move around easily, despite his appearance. Some females take to his rugged appearance, but he has never had anything more than a fling or two.
Obscurities~ (ex. What brought your character here? What makes him/her/it so strange? What stands out in particular? What would you like us to keep in mind?) He has an unnerving way of staring at other'\s, as if he stares into their soul, seeking out their inner beauty. He has a very strong mind's eye and can paint intricate details with merely his words.
Personality~ (NO "Meet Me"s. Must include effort! This is my favorite part!) Ko quite often comes across as unsociable, shy, or just plain...odd. But his peculiar way of doing things is just how he is, how he..sees the world. He will often stop to appreciate a freshly bloomed flower, or simply stare off at a sky as if it was made for him and him alone. While seemingly introverted he is extremely loyal and protective of his pack. He has a quiet, dominating, and strong presence that to some is unnerving, but to others is like a rock to lean on or a tree to take shelter under.
History~ (Mandatory if they weren't born into the pack[)  Always an odd pup out he learned to get by on his own at a very tender age. Life was a beautiful adventure to him and he was blessed with a simple innocence that was all too soon taken away. Witnessing the multiple rapes and murder of his mother and sister, he turned into a slaughtering hurricane of flesh and claws. He wiped out the small pack of rouges and for a long time, simply wandered the lands, going mad with his own self hatred and loathing. It was on the day of his 20th birthday he stumbled upon a dense forest and was awestruck by the moonlight glistening in the low laying fog. It was then that he remembered his sweet mother and his beautiful sister, and the vow he had made to each of them. Now he roams the forest, a silent sentinel, always on guard, and always ready to defend Obscura with his life, even if he is just a thief.
Role Play Sample~ (Mandatory for all ranks) "I-I-I- I'm sorry, Ko." Stammered Denek, the 'alpha' of a loose pack of rouges.  The fear was clear in his rolling almond colored eyes, his trembling muscles, tail tucked between hind legs.  With fresh crimson blood still glistening upon his muzzle, Ko chuckled, a malicious sound which slid from a deep chest.  Pale yellow orbs alive and bright, the wolf stepped closer, inhaling and feeding off of the sweet scent of fear rolling off of the other wolf.  Looking past, several bodies laid slain on the cold morning ground.  The sun, which was now slowly rising, had not woken in time to bear witness to the heinous acts committed under the cover of the night. "Hush, hush, Denek.  Do not be so weak." The brute hissed, words exiting his maw between clenched teeth.  Denek cringed at his choice of words - for now the tables had turned, and it was the wandering nobody who now ruthlessly in control.
Breathing deeply as anger began to turn his vision red, Ko sighed heavily and paced around the terrified wolf, muttering to himself. Coming to a stop, he moved his snout behind his ear, teeth grazing the tender, thin skin there. "Aye, Denek. We all have lessons to learn, here." With a quick snap of sharp teeth, Denek's ear was withing Aldegar's mouth, and immediately ripped off.  Spitting out the hard flap of cartilage, the ebony male laughed shrilly as Denek sped off, howling and shrieking, with tail still hidden between his hind end.  Turning his whiskered maw to the sky, Ko laughed, surrounded by the fallen bodies of the three other rouges - the wolves who had tormented him since he abandoned his pack.

I useally play a male, but I sometimes I play female, though i'm not good at it.
I want to join this RP since I want to improve my RP skills and have a fun time.
Screen name is Rasha Silva.


Name: Andrew Murphy
Age: 12
Gender: male
Speices: Hurcules Beetle
Desired rank: Child


Visual details: His body is round and stocky. His exo skin maroon red that has a little glossy shine to it.while his light hairs are noen green. His eyes are Dark green with a small black dot as his pupil. Now he has two arms and legs, each with two fingers/toes and a thumb/back toe which have little claws. His wings are grass green and retract in his wing shells after each flight though he can't get far.


Obsurites: He ruffles his wings when he gets mad. His voice tends to crack when he speaks.He tends to say whatever pops in his mind without knowing it.


Personallty: He is a curious one, with a omptimistic look on life. He trys to be stronger then most kids at his age, and doesn't want to be left out in anything. He tends to get himself into trouble not becuase he wants to, but since he doesn't have the fore sight to see his actions outside of now.


History: Andrew Murphy was born and raised like a normal child in the wild. However due to some mystreious reason his parents have gone missing and left little Andrew all by himself. So as his mind was rattled and disorganized he became lost and parinoid of the world arounf him. So as he wandered the foest trying to find answers he soon dicovered that his parents have left him...forgotten. He knew cause the day he did see them again, they said his not theirs and will never be..


This left his shocked and into a dispare of guilt as if he was at fault. However a week after that, he discovered the safe haven which he calls home. Now they didn't trust him or understand who or what he was. But after some work the beetle put in, they aceppeted him as their own. Which is were he now resides and grows up ever so eager to find out who his is..


Role Play Sample:  His eyes snapped open as the chill of the mornings wind brushed his horn.."Ugh...is it morning already?...." He sighed as he plucked his slothy body up and poped his joints to get ready for what today has in store for him.. He tried to think of what was todays chore.."Lets see...ummm...I was ..I think I was looking for some grub for my friends...right? Yea yea, thats it." He snapped and folded out his wings to soak the sun's all so gentle rays.


     He climbed down from the rock he slept on and sluggly jogged through the grass into the gathering spot his elders has told him to grow, but he heard some other kids saying that they found some more berries in the darker part of the woods...."Well wait a sec? If I can get more berries from the darker woods... Yet the elders said not to.... But maybe this is a test to see if I can think outside the box!"


      So which his excitement in his heart and pep in his step he went to the dark woods to gather berries for the furs he now considers family without telling a soul....

Character Information

Name~ Aster
Sex~ Female
Species~ Tufted Deer
Age~ 18
Desired Rank~ Delta
Visual Details~ Aster has various shades of grey and white all around her pelt, with a white marking around the bride of her snout. Being a tufted deer, she also had a small pair of fangs that protrude from her mouth. Her eyes always hold a somewhat droopy expression.
Obscurities~ Despite being a female tufted deer, Aster has begun to grown a small pair of antlers, but they are hard to see underneath her matted fur. She also has proven herself a very effective healer.
Personality~ Often neurotic and meek, Aster lacks the self esteem and confidence necessary for a higher roll in the hierarchy. Due to her constant anxiety of being abandoned, she rarely argues with others, even if she truly believes that they are wrong. However, she has always had a deep desire to be helpful to the creatures around her, and, due to this, often feels unfulfilled if she isn't of value. Her heart is always in the right place, however. Even when she makes mistakes. 
History~ Exiled by her previous pack for her poor judgement and mistakes, Aster thought that she would simply die alone out in the wilderness. That is, until she found the Obscure.
Role Play Sample~ Jittering nervously in the dense underbrush, Aster could feel the brutal beating of her heart against her furred chest. She closed her eyes tightly and ran her hooves back and forth harshly across the temples of her face. Once again she had let her fear cause her to embarrass herself in front of the others. What would they do when the inevitably find her? Laugh? Attack? Exile? Aster brushed away sweat accumulating by her muzzle and attempted to remember why she was here, and why she was important to the others. Looking down at her hooves, she realized: Healing.

Accepted! I really like your character. ^^


It would probably be best if she started out as a rogue, but over time may become a delta once she joins the Obscura, since the RP's context the deltas are all dead.


You can head over to the RP thread now.

Enough with the one and two liners. I understand if you have a low muse atm, but it's better to wait until you have time or the effort to post four or more sentences. This is an advanced thread.


I currently have no time or muse to RP, so I'm putting this RP on hold. I'm currently using all of my writing time for school paper and NaNoWriMo.

So like what's open and what do the roles do? Until I know more here's my character
Name: Tand (Tooth in Afrikaans)
Sex: Male
Age: 29
Visual details: Albino crocodile with big, but not too big, muscles. Each foot has 4 claws and each hand 5. He has blood red eyes. He has a huge mouth filled with sharp teeth hence the name. He is extremely charming even though he's intimidating. He has scars littering his body due to the countless battles he's had.
Obscurities: Is able to sometimes shrug off pain and fight with the stamina of ten men. He also has an accelerated healing but he can't do it in combat or on the move. He also has fits of rage/insanity where he can't remember anything afterwards.
 Role play sample: He watched as the black mass wanders closer, clutching his bleeding side the pain finally hitting full force, "W-what do you *ugh* want?" The figure spoke "We only want to help you find yourself." He screams "N-no don't come any-" and that's the last he remembered before he blacked out.
 
idk how i did please let me know.
