[b]Co-GMs[/b] ShotoNemar Amano_Yukiteru [img]http://digital-art-gallery.com/oid/107/1200x675_18592_Forest_village_2d_fantasy_architecture_village_picture_image_digital_art.jpg [/img] In a fairytale-esque world, there is a legend of a town in which many nekomimi (cat-persons, essentially) live. In this town, collars are a very important symbol to the nekomimi, as they hold a certain significance pertaining to their relationships. [hider=Story]Eventually, humans also began living in the town. For some mysterious reason, upon entering, a magical jewel is generated for each human that enters the town. This jewel can come in a multitude of shapes and colors, and the size may vary slightly, though all of them are still fairly small (only a few centimeters in any direction - this is very important due to their function). When given to a nekomimi, this strange item can awaken inner powers and allow them to use magic. Using this, a human and a neko may become a powerful duo and maybe make even miracles happen, but beware! These jewels hold a powerful secret, one that can easily save or destroy a human life: These jewels are the manifestation of a human's heart. All of the emotions a human may feel connect to the power in these precious stones, and similarly, all the love a human feels becomes the magic energy that both protects the nekomimi in possession of it and gives them the option of protecting the human from whom the jewel was received from. The downside to this is that, should anything happen to that jewel, the crystallized heart of that human, the consequences will be devastating. People don't necessarily die, but around 92% of the time, they do. Those who are lucky enough to survive would probably be better off dead, as either their ability to feel has been completely destroyed, leaving them as good as zombies, or they can only feel immense pain for their rest of their lives, which normally does not continue for long since their agony often drives them to find some way to end them. The nekomimi who are left behind are not harmed, but must deal with the psychological damage dealt by having their loved one ripped from their lives. So, take care when giving away your heart, as a false love will cause only one's own painful demise. The nekomimi have traditionally placed a great value on these jewels, as they symbolize the ultimate form of trust for humans, and those who accept the hearts are tied to the owners forever. Or at least until something happens to the jewels that carry them. To keep the jewels safe, it is common in their culture to have a collar crafted to hold them, and those who come to the town are highly encouraged to see the Heartcrafter to have them set into a collar. When a human and a neko decide to bond romantically, the human gives the collar to the neko, who proudly wears it as a symbol of trust and belonging. (It is a proposal of sorts, but the culture does not necessarily require a couple to get married after the gifting of the collar. That being said, it is not often encouraged to gift someone with a collar as a mere confession, since all kinds of things can go wrong, but nobody seriously cares enough about when you give your collar away. It's about equivalent to the world's most potentially dangerous pinky promise, that's all. Also, the neko does have the option of returning the collar if the relationship does not work out, but again, you don't want to give it to a neko if you can't see the relationship going anywhere, as the collar cannot be forcibly removed.) So, will you take a chance and entrust your heart to someone?[/hider] This RP takes place in the forest village mentioned in the story. It is a peaceful place, normally, but the woods can hold many dangers, especially as of late. Bandits, kidnappers, and unfriendly beasts are rumored to have been encountered further in, so it is advised that the people exercise caution when going outside the town. [hider=Rules] 1. All basic RolePlayerGuild rules apply. If you don’t know them reasonably well, please go check them. 2. Do not take control of other people’s characters. I have seen this become a problem way too many times. 3. While it is not required for collars to be directly returned after being removed, it is required that humans be given a chance to get them back. Attempts to destroy hearts may happen, but it is up to the human’s player whether or not they actually do take damage or break. 4. No murder without approval. That means that you need to get permission from other people if you want to kill off their characters. Attacking is fine, but let them react. 5. Please don’t fight in the OOC. Take things to the PMs to be worked out. 6. I know this is a romance RP, but any particularly mature scenes should be taken to the PMs. If you’re going farther than the kisses and cuddles, fade to black and come back when you’re done. If anything important to the story happens, please fill us in without giving [i]those[/i] details. 7. Don’t do any instant romance, please; take some time to nurture your relationships. Finding a partner is about half the battle, so I can almost guarantee you’ll be bored quickly if you skip this. 8. No txt lingo. I won’t be strict with spelling, grammar, or word count as long as people can understand what you are typing reasonably well. 9. I will give people warnings if they overstep any boundaries, but after a certain number of offenses, often depending on the severity and whether or not they are repeated or fixed, I will get rid of people. My decision is final on this. Co-GMs will also have this authority. 10. Please respect the Co-GMs. 11. I will change these rules if the need arises and notices will be posted in that event. 12. Have fun with this RP. I want people to be able to enjoy interacting with other characters. [/hider] I know it’s a lot of rules, but I just want to make sure that people know what is expected of them. If you have read them and understand, please put the number of the “murder” rule somewhere in your CS in bold print. (It says the word clearly in the rule.) [hider=More about these hearts] 1. The magical properties of the jewels are caused by human emotion, love for the possessor being the one that allows the neko to actively use magic. 2. The abilities a neko may unlock with these jewels are only a few in number, although there are both passive and active magics that may be unlocked. 3. After a certain amount of time with the jewels - this is different for each couple depending on the person and when the collar was gifted - the neko develops a certain sense specifically for the human they received the jewel from. This sense allows the neko to be able to tell when the human is in danger, as well as a few other things I will determine later, but is by no means a way to use active telepathy. It may allow a human and a neko to act more in sync, however. 4. Collars must be removed to destroy hearts. This means that all characters in danger of having their hearts destroyed do have a chance to take back the collar before an untimely demise. I can't have people dying all over the place. (This will be posted in the official rules, too.) 5. Magic can only be used by nekomimi while they are wearing the collar. They may use any physical abilities without it, but magic only happens when a bond is struck. 6. The magicks that can be used through the hearts depend on the human. The strength of the magic and ability a neko has with it depends on the mutual love between the two. So yes, a neko will have trouble using magic if the feelings toward the human falter, fade, or simply do not exist. Also, if a human gives a heart to a neko without feeling any love toward them, not only is that a very stupid idea, but no magic will be activated. 7. Collar magic is not limited to attack magicks, but only a certain number of magicks may be used, and they must be determined by the human. I suggest you come up with a strategy for the magics you come up with. Also, if a human manages to switch lovers, they may exchange one magical ability for another to match their new relationship. Should a human return to a previous lover, however, they are stuck with the previous magicks they used with them before. 8. Collars can neither be forced on or off anyone. [/hider] [hider=A bit more about the collar culture] Traditionally, a nekomimi is in charge of defending the couple and/or eventual family while the human is in charge of providing for them. This is not exactly necessary for a relationship, though, as the two may switch off between roles whenever they feel it is practical for them. This only really became a tradition in the past because of the defensive abilities a "claimed" nekomimi develops from using the collar. A human may defend nekomimi, though they may not be able to use magic. Likewise, a neko is considered perfectly capable of providing for or assisting in the providing for a partner and/or family. They may even be able to use their magic to help out with this. [/hider] If you want to give your characters weapons, feel free to list them in the CS. Weapons will only be allowed for humans, though. CS sheets [hider=Human CS] Name: Age: Gender: Appearance: Heart: (a brief description of the jewel created, just the color and/or shape.

Personality: Ion is a generally passive kitty who doesn't get angry even when a situation calls for it. He tends to forgive more than he apologizes, which says something about the aura about him. In general, Ion is a happy fellow that enjoys the company of others- obsessively so. It's painfully clear from the way his ears and tail droops that he gets lonely quite easily, and when with good company is very clingy in a touchy-feely sort of way. There are periods of time (usually during warmer seasons) where Ion is more easily distracted than usual. Bio: WIP Job: Full time part timer- He works here and there for some people, sometimes as the gardener at that one shop or the fishmonger at the other. At the moment he helps out at a small restaurant as a chef as well as a babysitter for two families. Sometimes he also goes to a nearby college but honestly he's not supposed to because he's not an actual student. Family/Friends/Relationships: His family is scattered throughout the city and he doesn't live with any of them. The second to youngest of seven, he kinda got to do whatever the hell he wanted, the parents busy with the baby and the older, more troublesome sisters. Other: Four. Four. Four. Four. Four. Extra abilities: Uhm, Ion heals faster than normal- but not like crazy fast. Say a typical cut may take a week or two to scar over then heal, but for Ion, the day after the inflicted wound it starts to heal. That said, he's also got a knack for being a klutz.

He cares a lot about his little brother and would do anything to protect him. Having to care for both himself and Alex, he has become a pretty hard worker and is often pretty serious. When he gets free time, though, he’ll either play with his little brother or read. He likes anything mint-flavored. Bio: He lost his parents when he was still fairly young after a bandit attack in the woods, but inherited the bakery they owned and has been working there for a few years now. He actually found Alex as a three-year-old hiding in the forest and took him in since he also seemed to have lost his parents somehow. Alex himself was never really sure what happened, and doesn’t seem to remember much about the incident other than being alone for hours. Job: Baker Family/Friends/Relationships: Alex – Adopted Little Brother Other: None Extra abilities: None [/hider] [hider=Alex Kumori (YamiCuoreLaroux)] Name: Alex Kumori Age: 5 Gender: Male Species: Neko Appearance: [img] https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQEK3dzkxem-xt1dATN-UwnswbERMrBMK1Wl5xAtfHa1ksRFX_eRg [/img] Romantic Preference: N/A (He’s only five…) Personality: Despite having lost his parents so young, Alex has always been a very cheerful child. He can often be found with his adopted older brother “helping” out around the bakery or just playing nearby. Even though he was orphaned in the forest, he still likes playing there and sometimes tries to wander off in there on his own if nobody is keeping a close eye on him. His favorite foods are strawberries. Bio: Alex has been an orphan since he was three, when he lost his parents in the forest. He doesn’t remember exactly what happened to them, though he did remember being alone for more than a few hours before Nero found him. Job: None. He tries to help Nero around the bakery, but he’s too young to know very much about being a baker. Family/Friends/Relationships: Nero – Adopted Older Brother Other: He sometimes talks about how his mother could use magic, so it believed that either he had a human father, or his mother was a nekomata. Extra abilities: Alex can sometimes heal small cuts or bruises, but it takes a lot of energy that he doesn’t have, so he has only used it once or twice before in his life. He has never been able to use it on himself, either.

He's easily intrigued by everything, which is to say he's usually held up from an errand due to having spent an afternoon looking at worms.

[/hider] [hider=Imar Barashari Zakir (Deathmaker)] Name: Imar Barashari Zakir; prefers to be called as Zakir Age: 19 Gender: Male Appearance: [img]http://img.anikore.jp/images/board/1/8/5/32185/32185.jpg?width=560&height=560&type=resize[/img] Heart: [img]http://www.artfire.com/uploads/product/5/845/44845/4944845/4944845/large/tourmaline_gemstone_brown_pink_vintage_faceted_oval_6_56_cts_fgs117_800bd58f.jpg[/img] -The heart is brownish in color, and is almost as light as sand. Often times, the heart would spawn small amounts of sand at any random time. The heart is a representation of Zakir's hardships in the desert; that no matter how much he tries to forget the pain, it would always leak out. Partner’s Magic: Jihad- The user is freed from all limitations of the body; including physical, emotional, and psychological limits. Meaning, the body can exert more than 200% of the capacity; even increasing regeneration. With this, a fragile creature can lift an object many times the weight. The obvious downside would be the body itself. The person can exert more effort but it doesn't mean that the body can actually manage it; the body is practically forcing itself to do something it couldn't have done. Common side effects such as soreness, extreme fatigue, and extreme pain can be felt once Jihad wears off. Active Abilities: Hajj- Zakir can create sand portals anywhere; assuming he has seen that place. He can create up to two portals that are connected to one another. This means that he can create a sand portal at point A, and a sand portal at Point B. He can then go inside portal A to reach Point B. Zakat- Zakir can transfer his own life force to heal minor injuries, and to an extent, major injuries to another person in the form of sand particles. It should be noted that this ability only works from Zakir's mouth which means he can only transfer it orally. Passive Ability: Sawm- Zakir's regeneration increases when bathed in sand. Romantic Preference: Exploration Needed Personality: Zakir has been raised in a harsh situation; causing his true self to be masked by a mixture of scorn, doubt, and hostility.
