Illestra - Interest Check - Extreme group

[Akasma]

Doing an interest check:

Basic storyline idea:

A world like our own Earth in many ways is Illestra, filled with astounding beauty and a wild array of plants and animals, a vivid array of people too. The were animals of the world have come to peace with one another and the last 90 years has been an enrichment of culture for the various packs, however there is still a slight stiffness to relations, it takes a long time to grow past old feuds, especially for  immortals. The Humans have reached something of a golden era, instead of fighting wars with each other they are out to purge all were animals from existence, more often than not just killing other innocent humans.

After a particularly brutal attack by the humans, that wipes out the entire were-village of 14 the Dragoons invite their allies to join them in their beautifully secluded mountain oasis. The dragoons share a beautiful lake ringed with a small forest that in itself is ringed entirely by mountains with the mermaids who use underwater springs to travel in and out of the mountain oasis. They fly in, with the help of a few allied dragons, the known werewolves, werecats, & werebears. It is with reluctance that the moody mermaids share their home with more weres.

Now as the last of the known weres in the immediate vicinity join those at the oasis a scramble is made to bring order to the groups not used to being in such close quarters with one another and to find teams of weres willing to go in search of others that may need sanctuary from the looming human threat. Though the humans have nothing more complex than a crossbow or catapult they are still dangerous due to their large numbers.
The weres have an eden all to themselves if only they can coral the chaos of their brethren. The “packs” need firm leadership and role models in these times. Many will continue searching for stray were’s in need of the safety Oasis home offers, some spend their time keeping track of the humans movements. The community at a whole needs talented craftsmen and craftswomen to provide for the ample needs to be met. Past differences, and preferences for solitude must be set aside to protect friends and family from a much worse threat and to make this Oasis into their home.



A few requests of those interested:
We ask that you post at least every 4-6 days for your main character.
We ask that you post at least a decent sized paragraph at minimum, more is welcome.
We ask that you make sure all parties are okay with any violence/ NC content through OOC or PMs before it is posted.
All characters must be approved by Nim or Akasma. Please feel free to PM any questions to Nim or Akasma as well.
Each of the established were groups will need a leader other were categories are certainly open just ask Nim or Akasma about any proposed characters, plot developments, suggestions etc.
This roleplay will be posted in the extreme section and may include content of that manner. If desired we can provide a character sheet draft as well. Thanks all for reading! =)

[Nim]

Hello folks Just wanted to add a little bit more that I just thought of that had not been mentioned that we forgot to add. 

For this particular game we would like for each person to play at least one of the main forms of Were Animals being Wolf, Cat (large cats) and Bear.  Or of the Dragoons (who are half human half dragon.)  Or one of the humans.  Were hoping to at least have 2 representatives for each of the main groups before we start the game.

You would be more than welcome to play more than one character if you feel like doing so.

The game will begin once we have 12 players besides Akasma and myself.

Like Akasma said please feel free to contact either of by PM or just leave messages of interest here.

[Demik]

*Pounces upon my Nim* Hiyas! I'd love to play a dragoon as my main character and possibly a werecat as well ;). My Dragoon would be one of those that goes out to find weres to bring to the valley I believe.

[Nim]

*Ish pounced upon by my Demik, Eeeeeps!  Dragoon claws... ouchie!  Yay a Dragoon!!!   And a smaller yay to the maybe on the werecat!  Only because you said maybe tho. 

I'll be playing a Dragoon, one of the WereBears a WereWolf and maybe an exotic.  Aside from any filler type peoples that might be needed.  LOL

[Shade]

I'm definitely interested in this. I can't decide whether I want my main character to be a werewolf or a dragoon though... decisions, decisions...

[Nim]

*Chuckles lightly*  Welcome Shade but why choose?   When you can always play both!

[Shade]

True, but I'd rather just stick with one character. Easier for me to keep track of things, and I think I would probably end up neglecting one of them eventually

[Nim]

Yes there always is that possibility of one of the characters becoming favored then lost.  Very good point.

[Flow]

This sounds pretty fun. I'd love to play a Werebear and a Dragoon... and maybe a Werecat. ;3

[Nim]

Greetings Jubei!  Definitely good choice character wise.

For both you and Shade please feel free to add character sheet when  you have your ideas ready to share.  Thank you.

[Odin]

Interested!

Either a Werebear or Werewolf... Not sure yet.

BYO character sheet?

[Nim]

Please use this type of format for character sheets.  Unless you have your own that is relatively close or you are using a character you have used before but they are not in current use in any other games..

Name:
Age: (if applicable)
Race: (Were's Wolf, Cat (large cat variety) Bear, or "Exotic" Weres  animals or birds not normally thought of to be a Were (Keep in mind tho that with the "Exotic" wares these will be of a more rare nature so there will be fewer of each of these kind) and or Human)
Appearance: (Don't feel pressured into having to find a picture, if you want to just type out a description that is more than welcome if not preferred.)
Orientation:
Station: (what do you do in your clan? what purpose do you serve?  When thinking of this possibility please keep in mind that we will need one spokes person for each of the races that will be living with the Dragoons in their valley.)
Weapons/Abilities: (We will be playing a free-form game, there is no particular system to be followed so things such as turns and stats do not need to be applied. Just keep in mind that since we are playing without any particular rules, abilities cannot be overpowered and try to limit yourself reasonably but that is not to say that perhaps your Were character does not happen to also be a Wizard or Sorceress.  Since this is after all a new world to play with so feel free to have some fun being as creative as you choose.)
Biography/history:
Personality:


Another side note that I do not think was mentioned there may be humans who for whatever reasons had been living among groups of Weres or even with the Dragoons before they all started to come together.  So these humans would also be a part of the new group trying to make a new life for themselves in the lake side valley between the mountain ranges.

[Nim]

Interested!

Either a Werebear or Werewolf... Not sure yet.

BYO character sheet?

Howdy Odin thank you for the friendly reminder good to see you here.

[sinoraa]

I'd like to be a catgirl. But i'll wait to see what will be needed.

[Lynnie]

Alright Fluzzkins you twisted my arm into this but only one charry for me. Something exotic or maybe just a plain ol' human. since we have none of them.

[Odin]

Name: Morpheus.
Age: Ancient
Race: Morpheus is a Werewolf. He has a wolf/man, and pure wolf forms.



Station: Morpheus is a soldier, not a leader. He is known as a 'royalty' guard. He protects the leaders of his pack.
Weapons/Abilities: Morpheus is from a Warrior clan, and therefor possesses a stronger bone structure than most. Making him taller, and stronger than most werewolves.

Biography/history: The Clan in which Morpheus was birthed from was one of the very first wolf clans. They were part of the beginning of the war between Humans and Werewolves, and they did so by killing soldiers and claiming the town's women as trophies.

Morpheus outlived his pack by simply not falling for the same desires. Most were ironically killed by those they captured, or easily lured by a 'lost beauty'. Morpheus was far too cunning and skillful, often waiting for the girl and her escort to pass, then killing them all. His strength and ability allowed him to survive packless for quite some time, though loneliness consumes him.

Personality:
Morpheus is a wise and skilled warrior. His realistic views on the world leave him as some what of a 'mood killer', though is often the first to be involved in a fight.

Sexual:
Male/Male on the dominant side.
Female/Male on the dominant side.

[Lynnie]

Name: Serenity
Age: 21
Race: Human
Appearance:
Station: None, living amongst the werewolves trying to help out. (Servant maybe?)
Weapons/Abilities: Bow and Arrows, Daggers, and poision
Biography/history: Serenity was outcasted from the humans and was chased into a werewolf village for her beliefs that humans were the under species here and needed to learn to live with the others.
Personality: She's quiet and shy. Tends to follow orders and not make many decisions.

[argent wings]

Name: Dethean

Age: 20

Race: Werewolf

Appearance: As a human he is tall and a bit gangly with messy brown hair, slightly too big ears and a constant disheveled appearance. Despite not being conventionally attractive he can easily make people laugh with his goofy smiles and expressions. It's as though he doesn't quite fit properly into a human body.

As a wolf though his appearance becomes majestic and refined, a grey wolf of perfect proportions.

He has not yet mastered the wolf-man form, despite instruction from many of the older werewolves at the oasis. He tries but can not manage much more than to change a single body part, to have claws or eyes or tail for example.

Station: Tracker

Weapons/Abilities: Has the ability to locate people and objects, it manifests through his sense of smell but operates psychically even over great distances. However it is blocked by any of the superstitious simple charms and wards against werewolf magic which are known by many humans, especially those mistrustful of weres. When seeking people he must specify a particular person as well, he can't just search for 'a werewolf' or 'whoever killed this man', finding objects and animals is easier.

Biography/history: Raised amongst humans, Dethean lived with a foster family most of his life. However when a witchhunt for werewolves started to occur in his local village, his foster-parents cracked afraid of being discovered and betrayed his secret to his authorities. Warned by his foster-brother, Dethean ran away seeking the rumoured 'safe place' for weres. He travelled far and wide, on the journey picking up strange whiffs in the air that eventually he learned to follow. Recently his nose led him to the safety of the mountain oasis.

He loves it in the natural beauty of the mountains, but often volunteers to go out on the search for abandoned weres. His gift often comes in handy even despite its many limitations and he loves bringing new friends in to safety.

Personality:
Friendly and loyal, inclined to trust people sometimes more than he should but not a complete gullible fool.
Very relaxed and has a sense of peace about him, even in the midst of a crisis.
Enjoys gambling and taking risks.
Despite everything in his history, holds no grudges and doesn't hate humans at all.
Dislikes violence.

[Nim]

I'd like to be a catgirl. But i'll wait to see what will be needed.

Please note that I added Orientation: to character sheet for those that have already created or are working on creating characters.  Thanks and sorry for adding in so late. 

[Lynnie]

Bad Fluzzkins! *goes to add it to hers*

[Bella90]

heey :) so...Umm..Im starting with one for now maybe I'll jump to two later :)



Name: Aysel
Age: 18
Race: Werecat...or feline whichever :p   (Jaguar)
Appearance:
. cat:                       human:
Station:  A scout, keeps eye for trouble, her lean feline form allows her agility and mobility. which is quite an asset to her job.
Weapons/Abilities: Apart from phasing, she's good with a sword, and martial arts.
Biography/history: Aysel was born between many brothers, She turned tough, and reasonably. but still has her feminine moments. She always scouts for danger, and is known for her speed.  sadly, after the massacre of her parents, and her old clan, she was sent away with her brother to this new clan (close to the dragoons) where she became what she is today.
Personality: Spontaneous, Sarcastic, Brave, Rational, cautious, mysterious, friendly to people she trusts, outgoing, punctuate, committed, shy with some people, responsible, has a thing for thinking out of the box.

[Nim]

Very nice Bella.  Please add orientation/sexual preference and add to the accepted character sheet.  Very glad to see you here!!!

[Bella90]

Very nice Bella.  Please add orientation/sexual preference and add to the accepted character sheet.  Very glad to see you here!!!

Thanks ^-^   I'll fix a few things that I forgot to add now. :)

[Shade]

Seemed like there was plenty of werewolves already, so I figured I'd choose something else to help move this along.

Name: Karnl

Age: 24

Race: Werecat (Tiger)

Appearance: Human- Tall and well muscled, black hair. He often has a serious or somber expression.
                   Tiger-

Orientation:Straight

Station: Lead warrior

Weapons/Abilities: While human, he is an experienced martial artist, and prefers to fight using his bare hands. When he is transformed, he is able to move at high speeds and is surprisingly agile. He uses his combination of raw strength and speed when fighting. However, moving at high speed for too long will wear him out quickly, so he prefers to use it in short bursts. He also possesses a tactical mind and a keen eye, which he uses to find and exploit the weaknesses of his enemies.

Biography/history: Karnl was the strongest warrior within his clan. He could have become the leader, if the leader was not chosen by bloodline. He had no real desire to lead though, and only accepted his position as lead warrior because he knew it was necessary to keep the clan strong. His clan lived in a forest near a human village. There was a negotiated peace between the human villagers and his clan, so for awhile his clan was safe. However, the humans eventually betrayed them, and burned the forest down. Karnl managed to escape, but as far as he knows, he was the only one. This betrayal has caused him to have a deep resentment for humankind. He wandered for a short time, before he heard that the Dragoons were offering other Weres to join them in the safety of their oasis. He has decided to go there, hoping he may find or hear news of others of his clan who may have survived. While still reluctant to take on any role of leadership, he knows he must do whatever is necessary for the safety of all remaining Were-kind.

Personality: Quiet and reserved, somewhat of a loner. He often prefers to do things alone and keep to himself. He hates having ask for help. Despite his appearance, he is surprisingly gentle to those he trusts. On the battlefield, he is quite aggressive and fierce.

[Nim]

Very nice Shade and thank you for your thoughtfulness in changing your original plan.  Go ahead and move to the approved character sheet when ever your ready to do so. 

[bluemoon]

Name: Mikazuki Kobayashi
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Orientation: unsure

Race: Canid/Human Half Demon
Appearance: Half human, half demon, she can take on the appearance of a human girl, creatures considered canines, and anything in-between (EX: human with dog traits such as ears and a tail, etc.). As a human, she seems fair skinned, minus a scar down her right arm. She has dark brown hair that is almost black. It reaches to the bottom of her shoulder blades. Her eyes change color often, but mostly are a forest green. Occasionally one eye will be a light blue, almost grey color while the other remains unchanged. She stands close to 5 foot 2 inches as a human. She's often seen wearing a red silk kimono with elaborate designs. She does not wear the kimono properly however, she wears it loosely tied and it dangles off of her frail and slender frame. She often leads wandering travelers astray with her beauty.


History: Born a half demon, she is not truly accepted anywhere. Her father, a full blooded demon, had traveled from far away lands. He chose to settle down near a small village, where a beautiful maiden lived. Every day he would watch her, and every day he fell more and more in love with her. One day, he decided to approach her. He had groomed himself thoroughly to try and impress her. But he could not hide his white hair, and sharp canines, some tell tale signs of your traditional dog-demon. To his surprise, the maiden was not afraid, she had been watching him as well. She became very intrigued by him, and was excited by his approach. The two were secret lovers, as her village would have banished her for being with a demon. He had, on multiple occasions tried to get her to leave with him. He even taught her some of his native tongue. They conceived a child, and he wanted to be there for the kit, but the woman married inside the village instead. When she gave birth, she convinced her husband it was his, as she looked just like a beautiful human babe. She was, however, born with a wonderful gift. She can transform her body. Any canine species, whether it be wolf or fox, she is able to become it. She may choose to remain partially human as well, retaining such features as an up-right posture and aposable thumbs-very handy. She can communicate with the canids thanks to this as well. She was raised with the humans until they realized she was...different. They banished her from the village, this is when she found her roots in the wild. She lives in the forest now amongst other creatures. The Exile was painful both physically and emotionally. She said goodbye to her mother forever.
She despises humans anymore. She even changed the name her mother had provided for her, changing it to her father's antive tongue. Her mother had taught her some of the language before, saying that a 'kind man' once told her wondrous stories of the orient. She later realized that this was her father, not the man that she had once believed to be. She loathes humans, and their hearts, tainted, and their actions that of vanity. If she ever truly needed any human comforts, she would catch the eye of a wandering trader or other travelers, entrancing men with her beauty. She would take from them what she needed, then leave their carcass for the animals to feast on. On occasion she would hunt them merely for the fun of it. To see those people who once teased and tormented her crying in fear. The very same people that would have been considered 'brave' back in the village pleading to the God's for protection from the beast that hunts them, all in vain. She would kill them anyhow, chasing them for fun for a while, even though she could have easily caught up to them, with their inferior speed. She has earned herself somewhat of a myth among humans. They would tell of the beast who lies in wait, seducing men and hunting women. They just couldn't understand her. It was only those with shallow intentions that she hunted...mostly.

Other: Her strength is far greater than she looks. Her appearances are quite deceiving, as she looks to be a young frail girl, innocent yet tempting.

I may take on a lone werewolf too...hope this is okay for an "exotic"

[sinoraa]

Name: Sinoraa (Might think its a little unoriginal, but thats my favorite fantasy name, so god damn it im going to use it!)
Age: Over two hundred years old

Race: Naga
Appearance:
Orientation: Bisexual
Station: sentry
Weapons/Abilities
-Claws
-Poison fangs
-Strong tail
-Poison Immunity
-Acid spit
-Camouflage: Sinoraa got the ability to change her color depending on her environment. Rock/dirt=orange, Grass/forest=green

Biography/history: Sinoraa was born like most naga's are. Hatching from her egg she was left to fend for herself, such is the way of most of her kind. Shortly after her birth she was captured and sold to, the cult of Culebra, a group of people who believes serpents to be the offspring of their god. They did not know of her origins when she was bought, as naga's look like any other snake, until they reach the age that they shed them self of their weaker selves. When this eventually happened, she was seen as a gift from, Culebra and a sign for great things to come. She was taught the language of men, and many of their ways, but showed little interest in it. She did not understand their world, and did not desire to be part of it. She was content to stay in her pit, and wait for her followers to bring her, the prey she demanded, which was often human. Tough eventually this dulled in her mind. Over a hundred years, she stayed in that pit, despising the people who would constantly bother her, with their chants and rituals. Finally deciding she wanted no part of it, she demanded them to give themselves to her, claiming it was the will of Culebra . Eager to embrace the will of their god, they willingly allowed her to devour them all one by one, a meal that kept her satisfied for many months... After this her life have been fairly eventless, for she did not join a pack, or indeed any of her people, as nagas unlike most weres, do not hunt in packs. In fact aside from mating, it is rare to ever see two of her kind, in one place. Blissfully unaware of the genocide of the were's she stayed in the wild, hunting whatever prey she might find.

Personality: Sinoraa has developed a very prideful personality, from her time with the cult. Tough she do not believe herself to be the child of Culebra, she non the less believe herself, to be highly important, and does not take kindly to any sign of disrespect. Tough not especially unsocial, shes not likely to offer a helping hand, as her people are very self reliant, preferring to do things on their own, which was the reason for her turning on the cult.

[Nim]

Very nice Blue go ahead and move to the character thread if you will.

[Sasha]

 Ohhhh I want to play .....can I be a ....garou ...werewolf  creature maybe that is lost and let someone find me .

[Orochimaru]

Is there still an opening? If so, I am interested.

[Nim]

Looks good  sinoraa.  Please just add what her station would be in the Oasis whether it be working more with the other Exotic Weres in some way or perhaps she is part of the Valleys Guardians that keep an eye out for unwelcome humans that do not belong there. 

Heya Sasha good to see you here by all means please do submit a character sheet! 

Hello Orochimaru.  Yes there are still openings particularly for leadership positions in the Main Weres Wolf, Cat, Bear and even the Exotics should have a representative for them as well.  Please go ahead and submit your character sheet or sheets.

[Orochimaru]

Exotics as in? Could you explain that more?

[sinoraa]

Just added, sentry. She'd be guarding the oasis, sense she'd be highly territorial, i thought it to make sense.

[bluemoon]

exotics are the beings outside of Werecat, Werebear, Werewolf, Dragoon, and Human, correct? Such as mine?

[Sasha]

Heya Sasha good to see you here by all means please do submit a character sheet! 

I sent you the character sheet in a PM ....forgot to send it to your partner in crime though ...please forgive me . Got distracted IRL and hit send . See how I am .

Anyways ...she is a healer type character ... medicine woman , creating various ointments ,potions and posions from herbs and plants ...smiles . Someone brave will have to come find her ...she is too afraid to move from her hidden hole in the Dark Forest .

If the concept is acceptable ...I shall look forward to playing and being brought in to the Utopia being established . What a delightful story concept .

Sasha

[Paladin]

Well I was thinking of joining but I'm not sure anymore. You do seem to have alot of other people already and I'm learning that large games just don't seem to workout with me around. I'm apparently bad luck or something. Still I'll think on it. *Sighs*

[Nim]

Sasha your character is accepted you only need to make the adjustments I mentioned then post character here and on accepted char sheet.

exotics are the beings outside of Werecat, Werebear, Werewolf, Dragoon, and Human, correct? Such as mine?

That is correct.  Exotic is any animal, reptile or bird that would not normally be considered in the Were type family.  We are asking that those who play exotic also play one of the main types of Were as well if at all possible.

Paladin, We do have a large group but that is what will be needed for this game to help it move more smoothly.  Not all group games go sour.

[bluemoon]

I will make a were...maybe later today...maybe tomorrow....not sure yet

[Orochimaru]

Since Sinoraa says she wants a male with her naga...guess I will stick true to me and make a naga character as well.

[Paladin]

Paladin, We do have a large group but that is what will be needed for this game to help it move more smoothly.  Not all group games go sour.

Everyone I've been in so far has done so.

[Orochimaru]

Everyone I've been in so far has done so.

Just give it a try man...just go for it.

[sinoraa]

Yeah, imean if one doesn't work that dosen't mean you should stop trying.

[Demik]

Wow... this exploded! ;D

*Pounces Paladin and hugs* Don't worry about it. It's not you. Many of the groups I've been in have died too. Only a couple have actually worked out for me. I'd actually given up on joining them but that one *pokes Nim* has been pulling me into all of his and they're really fun once they get going ;D.

[Nim]

 Orochimaru.  Making a Male naga sounds good to me.  But please do keep in mind we do need the "Non" exotic Were's as well as humans.  Of course we can always NPC the humans as needed with everyone having control of them except for those that have been set as main characters such as Lynnie's character. 

Also if you have already been a proved and have not already done so please put your approved characters in the approved character sheet.  Thank you.

Ish Poked by Demik... Ouchieness... Tickles with long feather. 

[bluemoon]

Actually, we don't have any werebears do we? I love my wolves, but can't have an entire race going extinct! Should I play a werebear?

[Nim]

One of my characters will be a Werebear just have not had time to put up Character sheet yet... I know sad right.  LOL

And just a side note if your characters have already been accepted you may start using the O.O.C thread as well. 
https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=67249.0

[bluemoon]

so...we will still need another werebear, no?

[Nim]

Yes Blue we still do need another Werebear.

Once all the approved characters that we have so far are on the character sheet I'll start to figure out exactly what stations and what kind of Weres or other beings we still need.  When  Akasma and I were putting this together we were hoping to have 12 players besides ourselves to start the game out with thinking that would be enough to have a good start with more welcome to join later.  Ambitious project I know but that is what we were hoping for.  however having said that I think we are actually pretty close to having the 12 already so we may even be able to get this game off and running tonight.   

[bluemoon]

Name: Kumako
Gender: Female
Age: looks 18-22-ish, is really a couple hundred
Race: Werebear
Appearance: As human form: Stands at about 5'6", approximately 130 lbs. with more toned muscles, and a scar running under her left eye down her cheek. X shaped scar on her right bicep. Long, thick scar on her left leg, running from the front of her knee, down at an angle to the outside of her ankle. As a bear: (half polar/half grizzly)
Orientation: Curious
Station: Currently hunting and foraging for herself, living in the forest.
Weapons/Abilities: Has a couple hunting knives, is also very powerful, even in human form thanks to the bear in her.
Biography/history: Kumako was born in a litter of two, but her breed was the oddity. Her mother was a polar bear, her father a grizzly that had tracked his way up into the tundra like areas. Her brother had been shot and skinned by a hunter, leaving her as the last known of her odd breeding. She doesn't seem to understand why her brother was killed, or really by who. When she was old enough, she made her way down from the cold, snow covered tundra, into the warmer, forested ones. Here she can fish, hunt, and forage for foods as needed. Unfortunately, as secluded as she was before, she knows nothing of the humans rage and attacks on the were-kind.
Personality: A bit tough, and mostly a loner. She can be very cold, with seemingly hardened emotions, but it is more of a front, to try and protect herself. Once her brother died, she learned to count on herself, not others, and is wary of others because of it.

This okay?

[Sasha]

Sasha your character is accepted you only need to make the adjustments I mentioned then post character here and on accepted char sheet.

Character posted ....look forward to the game . 



Name: Natalia Vodinova
Age: 26
Race: Werewolf

Appearance: Human form a a beautiful blonde maiden of pale skin standing about 5ft 7 weighing approximately 135lbs athletic build with a slate blue eye color ...changes into a very large silver gray wolf that is swift and mighty hailing from the Tribe named Silver Fangs the girl is the last of her kind .

Orientation: Bi-sexual /Switch ....very free spirited enjoying the art of foreplay and teasing both men and women alike.

Station: Healer ..the woman has the ability to draw out sickness taking on the infliction unto herself briefly and then heals though this drains her life force . The use of herbs to make medicines and other poisons,  ointments and potions to build strength  endurance , stamina ..even love potions and sexual aides .

Weapons/Abilities: Excellent archer ...very agile in movement ...her sight almost eagle like and her aim deadly. The arrows welded have been dipped in a poison that paralyzes the enemy and drops him to the ground within a few moments time. The withdrawals of which tend to give a human the symptoms of cold chills and an agony of spasms . Other were creatures can ward off the effect by changing into their given creature as the morphism of the change cancels out the poison though it does weaken them a bit . Used mainly for protection.  She can use a dagger ..and is quite stealthy with the ability to hide in the shadows ..very patient which is rare amongst her kind.

The only other ability is the visions that come and go ..of which it is hard to determine if it is of past events or those yet to come . Waking in the night covered in a sweaty sheen as the loneliness creeps into her very soul . The image of dragons and mystical place and of a warrior that seems to be searching for something .

Current Status :  Lost and Wondering ...been that way for several years living alone in the forest away from human contact and those of her own kind . Rumored are the woman's whereabouts in the Dark Forest from a few travelers that have been healed by the woman. Her true nature hidden and most human's think her a medicine woman.

History : Natalia was the daughter of a great warrior ...her mother a healer and she was given the gift of healing from the ancestors. It was first thought the girl would not become a changeling ..though she just was late in receiving the gift. They had lived on the outskirts of the human realm in peace for many years till the tide changed ..she was off gathering elderberries when the humans attacked the village over running it and killing off the majority of her entire tribe. Taking what they could the few that remained moved farther into the dark woods . Set on vengeance many took up arms and raided the villages killing back an eye for an eye . This only slowly took out their numbers ...till the next wave moved in and once again wiped them out . Narrowly escaping Natalia moved deeper into the Dark Woods to an enchanted place the humans feared and there she has resided in fear for the last two years. The war rages all around her as the visions speak out showing the woman the images of the war at hand. Also of a place a utopia and she longs to find it but fear keeps the woman hidden.

Personality: A loner for the most part ..keeping to herself . She loves the beauty of the earth ..planting and growing things ..working with her hands . Simple things give her pleasure as she is quiet and a bit timid at least that is how she acts now with the fear that has gripped the woman's heart . Sometimes she can be found singing or playing a flute like instrument but that is rare these days as the loneliness has crept in and a depression of thinking she is the last of her kind . Mistrusting all even the visions that try to give her solace that somewhere there is a sanctuary that is calling out to her.

Very good swordwind.  Approved please move copy approved character to the character sheet.  Thanks.

[Demik]

Okay here is my first one and after we're all through with making our characters I'll play something else if it's needed ;)

Name: Raysuki Tanavan

Age: 150

Race: Dragoon

Appearance:
This is what her dragoon form looks like but there are some differences in her coloring. Her scales are black with swirling silver patterns. Her wings are silver with black swirls. She has the same braided, long silver hair that she has in her Human form. In her Human form she stands at 5'5" and in her Dragoon form 6'. (Here is a larger version of her Dragoon picture if you want a closer look. Just too big for on here ;))

Orientation:Straight

Station: A Seeker. She is one of those that travels outside of the valley to seek out weres and offer them safety. If they accept she leads them to the valley and if they do not she does everything in her power to make sure they will be alright where they are

Weapons/Abilities: Human form: As in the above picture a curving, wicked longsword and a dagger. Also knows hand-to-hand. Dragoon form: Can still use her blades but prefers to use her claws and tail.
In both forms she can use a unique combination of both light and shadow magic to create believable visual illusions, conceal herself and others from all senses, and form mild lasers which can burn badly but cannot truly cut. Her powers are stronger in her Dragoon form. She is also very quick and agile in both of her forms. She is able to perform impressive acrobatics and depending upon her opponent she will do so in combat to throw them off.

Biography/history: Raysuki grew up happily in the valley but she always wanted to see the outside world. She trained hard in the hopes that one day she might be allowed to leave and explore. Everyone was always telling her she shouldn't want to go out there and how dangerous it was but she wasn't swayed. She would stubbornly smile sweetly and say she just wanted to see it for herself. The Elders were just as stubborn in not allowing her to leave though. That is until it was decided to bring the other hunted creatures of the world to their safe haven. Because of her training, skills, and charisma Raysuki was chosen as a Seeker. She gladly took the job and has been helping to bring people to their haven.

Personality: Charming, stubborn, curious, patient, compassionate, honorable, reasonable, occasionally mischievous.

[Akasma]

here is my main character, thanks! =D

Name: Catherine Elizabeth
Age: 437
Race: Werepanther
Appearance:

Human form decription:
Height:  6’2
Weight: 165 lbs
Eyes: large, Dark brown
Hair: Slightly past shoulder length, brown(changes frequently)
Body:  curvaceous, well muscled, several tribal tattoos, dark well tanned skin.

Her pure feline form is that of an excessively large black panther with golden tinged green eyes.
Her hybrid form reaches almost 10 feet in height though is similarly covered in black fur with those tell tale feline eyes.
Orientation: She had never found anyone she has truly connected with enough to know her orientation but if she did find someone, she would not let a little thing like gender get in her way.
Station: Clan Shaman, medicine woman. She also enjoys participating in the hunts when she has time.
Weapons:  Dual wielded chain whips similar to this:
http://www.swords24.eu/images/products/en/9_Section_Whip_Chain_KungFu.jpg
The knives on the ends are made of silver, she also keeps a silver dagger on her for close quarters fighting.
Special abilities: she continually finds herself to be capable of new and exciting things but she also does not test this. She knows that being a shaman gives her a deep connection with nature and power from nature as well but she feels it unwise to use these abilities when not direly needed as she does not like wasting natures energy.

Description:  Catherine is exceptionally tall and always seems to dress in tight clothes that won’t impede her movement she has little or no regard for her physical appearance so often her outfits seem odd or mismatched. Being a shaman with such a ferocious underlying nature she is a bit rough around the edges, her patients will tell you that her bedside manner is atrocious, she always says what she thinks and feels if she says anything at all. Her temper is near legendary; those most liable to set her off are those she cares for most putting themselves in danger. Her body is sturdy and though curvaceous, still perfect for battle and well muscled, she uses her physical training to aid in controlling her inner beast. She spends much of her time communing with nature to keep her wild side under control, when her medical services are not needed.

Personality: First, she is kind and loving to her pack mates, this is often hard to tell though because of all the grumbling and complaining she does, she couldn’t let people get the wrong idea and have them think she is actually nice, so though she will do whatever she can to help she will grumble about it the entire time. She tends her pack mates when they are wounded or in need of any medical attention and she also tends them spiritually. She has a whimsical sense of humor and thrives on life always comfortable with herself and her surroundings, though her love is a tough love, expect to be smacked around a bit if you are close to her. Things have changed considerably here in the last few days but she is ready to care for the other clans medically to the best of her knowledge, and she could never turn away healing someone’s spiritual side (even if they do not think of it in that way) what interaction she has had with those outside of her pack is usually to learn more about how to care for them medically. She can most easily treat the humans as what schooling she has had has been to treat them though she shuns many of the human medical practices, such as bleeding and leeching. To those hostile to her pack or friends she is a lethal weapon of death, diplomacy not really her strong point, she is learning to hold her tongue and tries not to let her temper get the better of her, if she cannot say what she thinks she tries not to say anything at all.

Biography: Catherine was born to Elana, a hard working tavern girl, famous for her dancing and Jeremiah, an amazing wood crafter. Of course it is easy for the were’s to be amazing in comparison to humans. They lived in a small village until the wars broke out and they were going to send her father Jeremiah to fight, which of course he could not do, it would expose his secret and endanger his wife and daughter. So they packed up Catherine and went back to live with the clan, her father Jeremiah had to formally apologize to his father. Though life was good Catherine never really got along with the other kids, she was still socially awkward. Her mother tried to channel Catherine’s energy into dance and though she took to dancing as a fish takes to water it did nothing to help her temper.
This awkwardness only increased as she got older and her temper started becoming evident. Not knowing what to do with her they eagerly accepted the weapon masters suggestion to have her train under him as some of the other kids were doing. Catherine found that focusing her energies into her training helped, being stubborn she picked the weapon her master told her was the hardest to conquer. It was the injuries she sustained training with her chain whips that lead to her medical studies. A normal blade does not leave a cut for long on a were but a cut from a silver blade took a long time to heal and often would benefit from stitches. She applied her growing medical knowledge to her fighting style to make it more lethal. She coated the blades of her chain whips in silver to help herself better learn from her mistakes.  She also sought more medical knowledge from the humans, there were those in the clan that lead a double life, living amongst people and they helped her by bringing her medical tomes to study. The current clan shaman, Anek took notice of her studies and went to talk with the weapons master. It was from this conversation that her tutelage transferred to the path of a shaman though she never stopped her weapons training entirely. Thanks to Anek she bonded with nature as she had never been able to with any were and it calmed her. She learned how to perform surgery on weres using silver implements in the rare cases it was needed and how to use many plants to heal. As well as how to guide and heal people mentally, many maladies of the mind can be caused by the rough times we live in. She continued training in this way until she was three hundred years old. It was then that Anek went to tend to a pack that had lost their Shaman. Though she was not certain she was ready she threw herself fully into her new role, determined to be everything her pack needed of her.

[Akasma]

Very nice character Nim, make sure to post him in the approved character section =D Here is my second character, a dragon.

Name: StarDancer Yintainia

Age: Unknown, she has been alive for several millennia.

Race: Dragon

Appearance:

Human form:


Description:
Height: 5’7
Skin color: pale white
Eyes: Blackest of black
Hair: Long, straight, and white cascading to her knees
Body: She has a slender form and often her face does not show emotion well, this gives her a rather alien quality as she never appears to be emotional or even interested about anything.

Dragon Form:


Description:
In her natural form she is a metallic silver dragon, her scales are nearly impenetrable except on her wing membranes where the skin is much softer. As she ages her scales harden and grow tighter knit.
Height: 45ft tall standing on all fours, 165 ft from nose to tail in length
Skin color: Small tight overlapping scales or bright metallic silver
Eyes: Large deep black eyes that give off the feeling that your innermost secrets are known
Body: European style dragon of the beardless variety, there are ridges along her back and they are quite sharp but with protective clothing and her consent she could carry numerous passengers.

Orientation: Straight

Station:  Dragons have no need of stations really.

Weapons/Abilities:  She has no weapons in human form, in dragon form she prefers not to fight but she does have claws, fangs, and her breath weapon. She has a very strong affinity for magic and often performs strong spells on a whim, without thinking about the when or why, without preparing spells or rituals as many wizards and sorcerers do. However it is not something she would think of to use offensively.

Biography/history:  Yintainia has lived so long that the years have become a blur, she watched the rise of humankind with interest. She and her mate Errand lived happily and they had together a mighty son they named Kevine and raised him well. Though they are gigantic creatures they enjoy nature and the wonders it has to share and they taught Kevine to respect it. As is their nature he built a nest of his own after a few centuries and got a mate of his own. Yintainia and Errand were coming to visit when they saw below them the unthinkable, their son was fighting against swarms of men. Not just a few but thousands. They dove into the fight to help, not wanting to kill the humans but wanting to protect their son. When they landed they realized that underneath their son lay his mate, slaughtered and they had even started pulling her to pieces. They tried in vain to pull their son away but he refused to leave his mates body. They had no choice but to fight and they did, the humans fell in droves but they had large weapons that hurled rocks the size of the dragons fists at them and when finally the last human was slain their injuries were great. Kevine and Yintainia survived but her mate Errand died soon after the battle. Thrown deep into mourning no one saw yintainia for several centuries. Then one day she returned to her nest, a large cave in the mountains surrounding Aislin Haven. Rarely song can be heard coming from the forest, a voice sweet and pure as she laments for her lost mate.

Personality: Generally kind hearted and overly proud she for the most part avoids the new droves of weres in the valley. She gives advice to the dragoons to help guide them when she sees fit. She is wise and will on occasion share this wisdom if approached right. Like many dragons she finds brilliantly shiny things irresistible and is likely to favor someone who layers on the compliments. She enjoys talking to people telepathically, watching people’s surprised reactions, since it is an ability that most all dragons have but is uncommon among the weres. It is not common for her to take human form, she can hold the form for a long time but not indefinitely, after a day or so she would find it taking more and more energy to maintain. It is difficult to make friends with her since often she will simply tell visitors to go away unless it is important.

[Kate]

   

Race: Were-Dragon
Gender: Female
Age: 34

Lyila is one infamous Dragoon that to many is partly the reason why humans did rise up against the weres in the first place. She has been accused of countless things she has not done but her dismissive nature of not caring to correct matters let distrust grow to mob-mentality.

Since Lylia can recall she was always fascinated with stories speaking of permanent changes to other creatures and having the power to change life was often the only thing she could talk of for weeks at a time.

for better or for worse More to silence her incessant questions she was taught the basics of doing so at an early age by family members with an aptitude with sorcery and once Lyila managed to produce reliable effects the interest soon became an obsession.

Bodily changes to people or creatures wasnt a common teaching of  sorcery had few masters existed mainly due to the fact success needed the use of valuable gemstones used up in the process when permanency was sort, and although excellent at it, Lylia was never satisfied with.

Lilya read every book or scroll on the subject and even found one that allowed her abilities in the field to increase at a sacrifice to other powers she had.

Immediately she conducted it and sure enough abilities in doing so improved dramatically. However the sacrifice was real also. She was stuck in the form halfway between human and Dragon, human but with a tail and wings that could not be hidden. Although the wings still provided the gift of flight it was more exhausting than if she were in true form, and impractical for long distances, worse being recognized at a distance was all but assured. Lyila didn't care, her powers of changing people became second to none known but along with it a perversion grew.

Her interest in humans became intertwined with both and soon she moved from town to town offering promises to help in health and sexual issues at the cost of gemstones needed to perform the rituals. Soon people came and solving their issues on the whole Lyilia did. Healing diseases and permanent ailments, re-sculpting normal bodies into beauty or simply the removal of aging effects gave her the gems she needed to do what she really wanted - to indulge in perversions of changing the sexual organs of others comically.

Those that asked for it or offended her soon found themselves with a very different body from multiple sets of breasts or privates, some with a different gender all together. This was something that never went unnoticed and after conducting some dramatic changes she would leave the area before the town linched her for overt witchery.

One time Lylia was greatly offended by one noble woman almost running her off the road and later tracked her to her camp  site where she was resting nearby the stallion she was riding. An hour later the ritual was done and both woke in the morning with each other's genitals in place of their own. The noble's family was influential and so outraged their daughters embarrassment couldn't suppress rumor any longer and wind of Lylia's perverted nature spread quickly to other towns.

Most other weres think poorly of her conduct and blame her for much of the distrust humans have attributed to weres and its only with tension and more than the occasional glare Lylia resides in the sanctuary. Other weres have done worse, but Lylias behavior was at a time tensions were already high.

Her medical skills are welcomed, grudgingly however, as many hope new weres will soon arrive in the sanctuary with skills such that hers will no longer be needed.

[Akasma]

Very nice character Kate, approved, please also post her in the character thread =)

[Nim]

Heya  Akasma, if you haven't already move your sweet dragons tush over to the approved list.

Very nice character Kate.  Welcome to Illestra!!

[Xiddeus]

Name:Jerome Harris
Age:829
Race: Were-Bear
Appearance: Jerome  is every bit of his Bear heritage, even his build represents that.  Massive in size and strength, he stands head and shoulders above normal men, and a bit taller than most in his tribe.  His long black hair is usually braided into a single braid, though no hair grows upon his face.  His eyes are of a deep brown and mirror his fur when in bear form, which is usually how he is found.  A Grizzly in every aspect except temperament, for he finds that staying quiet and watching will prevail over quick and unthought action.
Orientation: Heterosexual
Station: Leader of the Bear Clans.
Weapons/Abilities: Jerome carries no weapons while he is a bear, his claws, teeth and strength are quite enough in most cases.  In man form he carries a bow and a quiver full of arrows, as well as a hatchet, serrated five times to look like a bear's claw.  He possess a keen sense of smell and hearing, things common to most bears, even as a man.
Biography/history: Jerome grew up in the oasis, and can remember when it was still fresh and clean of the taint of the other races.  He spent his early years constantly as a bear, learning quickly the ways of his people and of the land.  He has taken no mate in his life, as he has always been at war with one race or another, raiders, bandits and worse.
Personality:Jerome is the quiet big man in the back of the cave.  He prefers to watch for his enemies from cover and take them by speed and surprise.  When the days are calm and he finds no one that threatens his clan, he finds himself bored.  War is what he lives for, war is what he will die in, for that is the very essence of nature.  Kill or be killed.  Yet he knows that there is more to life than blood... but he has not found such yet.

[Nim]

Very nice character and as I have already said in PM approved.  Happy writing!

[Flow]

My main:

Name: Malthias Sazyr

Age: 277

Race: Dragoon

Appearance: Malthias stands about nine feet tall, trapped in a hybrid form between his human and dragoon states as he is losing the ability to switch forms.

Orientation: Straight

Station: Seeker

Weapons/Abilities: Wielder of the cursed blade Xavarian (as seen in the picture), said to greatly enhance the power of the user while slowly driving him into madness. Malthias is a master swordsman and novice warlock, imposing the elements of shadow and fire with powerful spells as well as his massive blade, usually combining the tactics in his battles.

Biography/history: Seen by many humans as a prodigiously talented military strategist and combat artist, Malthias was at first an ally of the human race, born and raised in their care after his parents had supposedly been killed in one of the many wars centuries ago, just after his birth. Convincing him that they had saved his life, the humans deceived Malthias; he was stolen as a fledgling to be used as a tool in the human military's arsenal. After nearly two hundred years of violent sacrifice to the human legions, Malthias discovered the cold, dark truth of his existence; he was a puppet for lesser beings that he deemed righteous and pure. His heart set on revenge, he escapes the confines of his human domain and joins the Dragoons in their home high atop the mountains, seeking only to find those that would aid his cause against the blight that threatened to extinguish his bloodline from existence.

Personality: Malthias is a young, unruly and arrogant Dragoon. He is fierce, cold and calculating, never hesitant to seize the breath of life from any who stand in his path. Fancying himself a bit of a genius, he has always felt disconnected from other beings; of course, he has spent most of his time around mortals. The dragon blood in him rages furiously, seeking to rob him entirely of his humanity as he slips further into thoughts of hatred, his will fully consumed by vengeance.

[Nim]

Name: Muireann   (Ann in human form)

Age: Unknown

Race: Exotic Mermaid

Appearance: Mermaid Form :  Muireann does not have the typical tail of a mermaid instead she has normal human legs.  Her feet however are more like as scuba divers fins.  And she has webbing between her fingers (except between forefingers and thumbs) to aid in swimming.



Appearance: Human Form - Her ears even in human form remain nearly the same shape so that she is always seen with the same earrings as in her Exotic Mermaid form.  She also wears the same clothing in both forms.  Along with a belt that fits around her waist of similar materials and design to carry her daggers.  In the cylinder on her hip she carries her wrapped up sandals that have leather bottoms but lace up to her knees with flexible silver lacing that creates similar patters to that of which is on her breasts.   



Orientation:  Bi

Station: Gardian/Seeker

Weapons/Abilities: In both forms wields two 12inch double edged daggers.  Also in both forms she has the ability to use her voice in much the same way as Sirens drawing those she wants to her and by the same token can drive who ever she wishes away.  Her voice can also be used to heal or maim.  Muireann has the ability to live outside of the water for up to six months of the calender year. 

Biography/history: Born in the depths of the Aislin Haven Lake, Muireann has spent all of her adult life as one of the guardians of the Mermaids.  Very little is known of her childhood for there are very few who would still remember and she never speaks of her own past.  After the arrival of the Were's to the Aislin Haven.  Muireann volunteers to become a Seeker going out to find those who have not yet made it to the Valley.

Personality:  Muireann is a very emotional person meaning she feels most everything very deeply.  Whether those emotions be love or hate in anger or at peace.  While she is very capable of keeping these emotions under full control there have been times when she has allowed her self to live out her emotions to the extreme.

[Nim]

Name: Vanyel

Age: Unknown

Race: Dragon

Appearance:  As a Dragon   (Note the cliffs behind him in this picture are no where near high enough to be the cliffs that the waterfall comes down.)



Human Appearance:



Orientation: Straight


Weapons/Abilities: Fire Breathing

Biography/history: Vanyel had been born and raised in the deep catacombs under the mountains far beneath the great waterfall that stands at the end of the Valley.  Where there are only two entrances to his lair the first being a cave that is hidden behind the waterfall itself the second is high in the shear cliff face of the mountains that face into the valley.  He had been there to greet Yintainia when she had returned to her homeland after suffering the great loss of her mate and her son.  Vanyel has rarely made an appearance within the valley during the daylight hours preferring the dark lonely hours of night when his black scales nearly made him invisible in the nights sky save for being a shadow below the moon and stars. 

The great black dragon had not been in the valley when the Dragoons had made their generous offer to Were's in having them come and stay in the valley.  He had been out in the world seeing for himself what the world of men had been up to.  So he knows nothing of the great hustle and bustle of this new community within the walls of his ancestral home. 

Personality:  Vanyel has lived long enough upon the face of the land to grow in wisdom and knowledge.  Generally he possesses a generous and kind heart.  Slow to anger but swift to act upon his own judgments.

[Odin]

Name: Talarez
Age: Unknown
Race: Dragoon
Appearance:

Station: Exhiled
Weapons/Abilities:

Talarez and his blade are very lightweight.
Biography/history:

When the war first began, many lives were lost in both the initial attack, and the counter attack. Human mages would join battalions of soldiers in the fight, being the most powerful weapon they had, and the most valuable. When the king finally received word that he only had a few Mages left, he pulled them from the front, and began having the remaining teach them.

He couldn't teach everyone magic - he needed soldiers to hold off the invading armies and to guard him. They couldn't be learning spells and fighting the war at the same time.

The Grand Mage Marcias saw the death and destruction covering the land. Casualties on both sides only saw his brothers fall when the king sent them off to die. Finally, he took himself and hid from the world, crafting the weapon to win the war. After some time, he found it. Imbuing his staff's orb with the magic of old, he marched. Incinerating, Banishing and Dominating his way across the kingdom, one opponent after another fell before his mighty staff.

The Dragoons could not let him continue the slaughter of their people. A battle was set. Some of the finest warriors were placed directly in the path of the Grand Mage Marcias.

One of the most devastating battles in history took place in the village. Talarez's two sons stood and fell beside him, along with his only brother. Lost and destroyed, Talarez rushed toward the Mage. The Mage passed him off as any other foolish warrior, and sent a spell at him. The spell ravaged him, but did not kill him. In shock, the Mage allowed him to draw closer, and Talarez's cleaved him through the shoulder, and out the hip. Both sides retreated.

The staff was not destroyed, but even on recovery... No one could use it.

Talarez's physical form was darkened, and his aura was destroyed, giving off a dead feeling. Upon arrival home, he was taken to the Council, and they spoke with him, before finally deciding to exile him, though thanked him deeply for what he had done for their race, and sympathized greatly for the sacrifice he had paid.

Talarez's mate, Lisora, died of starvation after her sons, step brother, and mate did not return. Like a love bird, they never live without the other. Talarez was not told of her death.

Despite being exiled, Talarez did not leave the land of the Dragoons. Instead, he was sealed deep underground in a Prison, set in the magical equivalent of a coma.

Personality:
Distant, but caring.

[Akasma]

Oh goodness you guys have been busy! Characters approved Nim, Bella90, and Odin. Pretty please put a copy of them into the approved character sheet. You guys are an amazingly creative and imaginative group, I am having a ton of fun already! =D *huggles for everyone, gives Nim a kiss on the cheek* Now I am off to write another post!  ;D

[Demik]

Name: Miluiel (Mil-oo-ee-el)

Age: 20

Race: Exotic - Unicorn

Appearance: Unicorn form -
Humanoid form- Miluiel has worked hard to try and perfect her Human form but it still isn't quite there yet. She appears to be a stunningly beautiful young woman of about 16 with long white hair. Usually her beautiful face is mostly hidden behind her long, shaggy bangs though. Her eyes remain the same glassy black. She also keeps her sparkling horn though it is smaller at only 4 inches. Her torso is Human enough, though her nails are a glossy light gray, her legs, however, remain horse legs including her long tail. They do change enough for her to stand and walk upright. Normally she tries to hide this fact by wearing long, flowing dresses and gathering her tail into a loose bun but it is hard to disguise the clopping of her hooves.

Orientation: Straight

Station: Lost and lonely.

Weapons/Abilities: Her abilities are weak for a Unicorn because she is so young. She can heal minor wounds. She can purify poisons and toxins in the air, water, or body. She is best at concealing herself using her magic. She knows nothing offensive except to kick with her hooves.

Biography/history: Miluiel watched her small herd be slaughtered 8 years ago by Humans to be harvested for their magical bodies. The only reason she escaped was because they had been teaching her how to conceal herself. When the Humans attacked her parents screamed at her to not show herself no matter what. She had to just stand there and watch as they were killed and then butchered. Once the Humans were finally gone she ran as fast as she could. A few months later she was set upon by another group of Hunters. She barely managed to escape them but she was badly wounded. A kind wizard found her nearly dead in the forest. He nursed her back to health but more than that once she got her strength back he performed a spell on her. Knowing if she only had her Unicorn form she would always be in danger he tried to give her a Human form as well. It worked somewhat. At first she had a more humanoid body but she still looked mostly like a smaller Unicorn who simply walked on two legs. He told her that was the best he could do but if she added her magic and practiced she could master the form. Over the years she has practiced and now she is able to look more than half Human. While not enough to fool the Humans into thinking she is one of them it is a start and a work in progress. She actually enjoys this new form and spends most of her time in it.

Personality: Shy, quiet, kind, curious.

[Nim]

Nice job on your second character Demik.   

Both Demik and Odin please put your characters up in the Accepted Character thread thanks.

[Lady Kitsune]

For approval.   ;D

Name: Shima

Age: Unknown

Race: Therianthrope.  For the moment a black wolf.

Appearance:  Silver haired and silver eyed, Shima moves with predatory grace.  Small and lithe she seems to dance.  Pale of skin, she at times seems ethereal, especially around the full moon.  Her clothing seems like silver metal but moves like silk. 

Orientation:  She is mostly straight but has been known to take a female lover if it fancies her.

Station: Shima is alone at the moment, a wanderer.

Weapons/Abilities: Shima carries a strange silver dagger.  Sometimes it's the size of an eating knife and if you blink it can be the size of a short sword, perhaps longer.  On the pommel is a beautiful Moon Opal and is carved intricately with old runes and animals of all types.  Shima is odd, she seems to be able to do things at times and then sometimes not. She can create a silvery light and hide in shadow.  She also seems to be immune to some magics.

Biography/history: Shima has an unknown history.  She seems to be suffering from some kind of memory loss.  She can remember being surrounded by many living in harmony but the humans came and then she can't remember more than that.  The only thing she does seem to know is she is afraid of deep water.

Personality:  Shima has a ready smile and seems innocent enough.  Don't let that fool you.  She may not know what she can do but when she releases her magic the consequences can be odd indeed.  She also has a furious temper which she holds in check...barely and is prone to grandiose outbursts.  Most might find her just plain...odd.  She seems to know things she shouldn't and if someone asks her how she knows she shrugs.  What a little mystery Shima is.

[Nim]

[Demik]

Name: Nafrit
Age: 350
Race: WereCat (Lioness)
Appearance: Human form: Pale green eyes, 5'6" tall


Anthro form (Except her hair is the same black and she wears the same outfit as in her Human form): 6' tall

Pure cat form:

Orientation: Straight

Station: Leader of her pride, willing to be leader of WereCats in the valley if they accept her.

Weapons/Abilities: Human and Anthro form: Her polearm (pictured in first photo), able to use fire magic easily in both forms. Pure cat form: Teeth and claws, some of her fire magic but not as well as in her other forms.

Biography/history: Nafrit's pride hailed from a land of desert. They called themselves The Pride of the Sun. They had made their home along a great river which flowed through the desert, bringing life to the barren area. They had been a large pride and had a large territory they called their own. They lived next to the river except in the months when the great river flooded the area then they moved away from it's banks into the desert. Nafrit and her husband Aten had been the leaders of the pride. They had 4 children, two sons and two daughters. Humans had decided they wanted the area as their own though and had begun a war with the pride. Many lives were lost including Aten and one of their daughters. They finally fled to the northeast. Disease, treacherous, unfamiliar territory, Humans and other creatures thinned their numbers even more. Nafrit lost one of her sons in the trip. Eventually a seeking party from the Dragoons found the ragged band and brought them to the valley. A pride which had once numbered in the hundreds was now down to only 20. Despite losing everything Nafrit has kept them together and tried to keep their hope up. Now that they have a place they might be able to call home again their spirits are beginning to lift. They have been in the valley for about a month. Her daughter recently gave birth to a beautiful little boy, Nafrit's new pride and joy.

Personality: Strong, firm, loving, kind, can seem harsh at times, always thinking of others.

((Just a note: If anyone wants to take on the part of her son feel free. I'm going to NPC her daughter and son-in-law off an on. If no one takes him after awhile then I'll NPC him now and then too.))

[Nim]

Very nice Demik.  I really liked her history.  Please move over to the approved character sheet when you get the chance. 

[Paladin]

Hey! Thats the Chick from FF13! Well one of them anyways. LOL

[Demik]

>.> Maaaybe ;) lol. Yeah it's Fang. As you know it's my current game of choice and when Nim asked me to make the cat leader I couldn't help but think she would make a good cat heh. The hard part was figuring out which kind of cat lol.

[Aethian]

Name: Sendia
Age: 18
Race: WereBear
Appearance: She is short in nature only standing at five feet from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. Her fingers a long and calloused from working with various items to make thread to make into cloth. Her eyes are a clear white with no iris and therefore no sight. Her ears are a a delicate point with a bit of white fuzz that blends into her long white hair. Her body is slender and graceful, with long legs and a short torso. Small feet being covered with thick leather sandals, that help protect her toes from moved objects.
Orientation: Straight
Station: Weaver
Weapons/Abilities: A long staff that had been hand carved for her at some time before she came to the protected area. She knows a few movements to defend herself but isn't great on attacking or defending if her opponent is light on their feet.
Biography/history: Sendia was born one of three cubs, a rarity for bears, and a bigger rarity that she was born blind and without any colorings. When no color formed after a short while and her sight had not come to her, it was thought that she should be put out to die as a rejected cub. Her Mother however fought to keep her and came across that anything she placed before her daughter could be spun or weaved. Pushing along this talent the girl grew safe with her Mother and sibling until the humans had come to their mountain. The three knew that she would slow them down and so with heavy hearts and a basket full of goods left her where she might be found by passing Dragoons. She works now with them to help make cloth for clothing and to use as bandages.
Personality: Sendia is of the quiet sort and like to keep to herself if she doesn't know who she is readily speaking with. Her senses of smell and hearing are of better quality then if she had sight but she still requires a few external clues to know who someone is. Once she becomes a friend however she is bright and bubbly, if she were ones lover she would most certainly be sensual.
