Magic, the power to  influence the course of events by using mysterious or supernatural forces. By definition this is what magic is. Most have believed this to be nothing more than myth written in religious text in the form of individuals walking on water or Deities capable of holding and releasing bolts of lightning from their grasp. It has also been seen in history books as entertainment made by males and females alike involving everything from sawing an individual in half to disappearing acts...Illusions and nothing more. However, the belief that magic was an existing element of life was thought of to be preposterous and ludicrous if one was to ask...Or was it?  It is argued that magic has always been around but has laid dormant for a long time, yet there were theories that many famous inventors and physicists had managed to tap into this magic after research and study, with one of the most notable being Nikolai Tesla. Fast forward to the beginnings of the second world war where the blame of Germany’s loss in the first world war was put upon lesser species’ bloodlines including hybrid ‘mutts’ and lead the nazi leader to proclaim that they were “an insult to nature and order with their very existence.” Over the course of the war millions upon millions of subspecies and hybrids would be systematically killed by the war machine.

Now within the regime there was a group known as Drittes Auge, or the Third Eye, a subsection to Germany’s physics research and development program that dabbled in magic and the occult. Here, scientists and doctors experimented on test subjects acquired by Gestapo agents in order to validate anything discovered in the relation to magic’s existence. They had created a device that was meant to measure the density of their magical aura, which in turn determined what bloodlines were the most powerful. It worked similar to a geiger counter but with results that varied. It would seem even those whose bloodlines were pure could show results that were negative and hybrids with positive results and vise versa. Either way, those deemed “weak” were removed from their society and placed in camps.

The Occult based program had eventually stumbled upon an old relic deep in the jungles, pictures of what seemed to be depicting gods of different species and elements carved into into the bell shaped object. Unseen by the naked eye, this relics glowed ever so dimly when reviewed through video. Scientists soon began to experiment with them, coming to the conclusion that with other information they had gathered, specifically information pertaining to runes and rituals, these objects seemed to react, letting of light hums of vibration and glowing hieroglyphs from the engravings. They had tried multiple times and it would seem that the only response they would receive is the normal hum. So focus on the relics were put on hiatus and instead focus was brought back to their original plans, Die Glocke.

Dubbed “the Bell” by the special division, its purpose was classified to all those outside of the group but from within, it was the supposed time machine that was being built in the hopes of...time travel. Construction and testing originally started off with results similar to those of the relic however one scientist had taken notice that when the tests on the Die Glocke were being performed, The relic would emit more of an “Ohm” sound as it would spark. So, one of the scientist decided to bring the relic into the same facility that Die Glocke was in, in the hopes that there would be a better reaction than before.

The next test on Die Glocke would mark the beginning of a new era with its own destruction. As testing began, there had been a fluctuation within the levels given off by the energy The Bell released. Within two minutes, a massive spike of energy shot through the bell, causing it to release a blast of static energy that engulfed the room and the relic, resulting in what is now known as “The Awakening”. As the relic was hit with the blast, it absorbed some of that energy, sending a vibration into an unknown plane of existence. This vibration awoken the Deities that people now know of and worship. With this day, focus was primarily put into the relic and its newly discovered secrets.

The year is 1947 and the second World War is over but the damage done to the people of Europe was ultimately burned into the minds of its people. Alongside the damage, countries around the world have taken Nazis occultism and turned it into something more useful and practical with much of the gathered documentation from german research departments guiding their paths. There had seemed to be some truths behind what the German research department had found relating to these deities and Die Glocke as many researchers managed to make pacts of their own and in turn passed down the information to the rest of their people who had then begun making their own packs. It is unknown as to what will become of this new world, but one thing is for certain. There will be change, and it will be permanent. It’s just whether or not that change will be for the better or worse.


So this RP will take place in an anthropomorphic world during a new magical era in the late 40s. Some of you may be asking why is this furry based at all. Well the answer is simple, this was inspired by another RP we were in that it was also an anthropomorphic story. Difference was however it took place in a post-apocalyptic world and sadly it died. We didn't want to abandon the story that was created and we didn't want to lose our characters on because of the commitment we put into it soooo...We decided to make one of our own. It took a lot of time to make and we are quite happy with the results. Before we continue we do have a few rules.


1. Follow the RPG rules and Code of Conduct
2. The GMs have final say...plain and simple.
3. We expect a minimum of 2 paragraph posts, nothing less but more is great. However, please be aware we want you to make sure that you understand quality is better than quantity. We would rather see two solid paragraphs that are coherent and concise than 4 paragraphs of filler nonsense.
4. Sacrafices will need GM approval (either Zverda or Hawlin)
5. Questions regarding weaponry can be answered by our weapons expert Foster.
6. We welcome combat, but attacks that hit should be approved by the opposing player. Any discrepancies between opponents will be brought to the GMs' attention so we can determine if the attack hits or settle any issues that arise.
7. Vulgar language and sexual scenes should be kept on a pg-13 level. Anything else considered MA is to be brought into private messages. Though we are more lenient on language.
8. We reserve the right to add, modify or remove the rules as we see fit so please be aware if something is a rule now, may not be in the future.
9. You may NOT move any character into the Character tab unless it has been approved. If this happens you will be asked to remove that Character until it is approved.
10. We will give you three chances on character creation. Simple things like grammar, punctuation and spelling WILL effect your approval. These three things are simple yet important.
11. Finally, we expect some dedication to this RP as we have had in creating it. Please be aware that holding up characters due to absences slow the progress of an rp to a crawl or worse. So we ask that you DO NOT sign up if you Connor fit this RP into your daily schedule. We understand irl is irl and should anything come up inform one of the four of us. Failure to do so will result in your terminal action from this RP and character death which we hold the right to.

After you have read the rules please be sure to add into your CS your favorite animal. Once approved, we will pm you our discord chat so you may be in closer contact to us and your fellow roleplayers. Thank you kindly.

So I've come to the conclusion that there is a mutation in my brain that triggers whenever I hear or see any mention of Noir so that's what prompted me to have a look at this RP.

However I do have some concerns upon reading the introductory post.

I see that much time has been dedicated to the explanation of magic and worship and while I'll admit it's very intricate and interesting I'm not seeing where the whole 'Noir' motif fits in other than this RP being set in the 40's. I gave things a thorough read and didn't see any allusion to crime, drugs, gangs, prostitution or any of the other staples of the Noir genre but perhaps I'm missing something given my focus on attempting to comprehend the magic system.

I also don't recall ever seeing mention of where this RP will take place. I saw mention of Germany and Europe as a whole but I was specifically looking for a city and a description of current events where the story's characters will start their journeys.

To touch again on the magic system I can tell a lot of thought was put into it and the word 'Magic' even makes an appearance in the thread's title but being a stickler for all the details would the RP's characters all be required to use magic?

Finally, and I'm going to walk on eggshells here, just to comment on the furry inclusion. I've never been into furrys and moreover never done an RP featuring them but I'm always open and willing to give things a try. However I must ask a quick question regarding their implementation. Of the anthropomorphic works I do enjoy I've always been a fan of ones where they take an animal's natural abilities into consideration rather than having essentially regular people with an anthropomorphic paint job. For example a character who is an anthropomorphic rabbit would naturally be quick and nimble whilst an anthropomorphic dart frog would naturally have toxic skin and these things are addressed if at least mentioned in the story.

So those were my concerns upon giving the original post a read although I will admit it's currently 4am and my mind might not all be there at the moment so feel free to put me in my place if I've blatantly missed something.

With this brought to light I will withdraw the op until the necessary changes are made to include said details. Originally I had posted this under the assumption that I had added them before posting but this does not seem to be the case therefore, I am pulling this thread untill the necessary additions are made.

Also I don't see why the characters wouldn't have the traits they do in real life so that will be added as well. Also no eggshells at all! I'm not a furry neither but I do try to branch out into uncharted territory with my writing. I prefer human characters but I felt like I needed a change for this one.

Well that's good to hear.

I look forward to re-reading the introductory post once the details have been added.
