[b]Creativity and willingness to speak OOC.[/b] I do have a discord for OOC chat if you prefer. I do love building worlds and things. It's kind of my favorite part of RPs. But I also don't really like being the driver for everything. So, please bring along your imagination and let's get freaky. PMs only for RP. I will request a writing sample and will provide a writing sample. [hider=More About Me] I will post 1-2 times a week. Slowest is once a month. I write in third-person. I expect third-person from you. Please no colored text or fancy text. It hurts my eyes to read. I’ve never written s*x scenes before but I have always wanted to. This is NOT a requirement. It's just an interest to try my hand at. If you're interested, please let me know. Communication is key. I have no problem editing, adjusting, or adding to my posts if you require more or less to reply, or if we decided to go down a different route for the story. If you've been having a bad week or month, let me know so I get you're still on board but need some time. Stuck on your post? Hash it out with me. We'll get through it. If you're uncomfortable with anything, please speak up.

Unfortunately, this planet is already home to an intelligent species - the Vishari. Due to the humans’ ignorance, conflict started between them and the Vishari. We start in the middle of this conflict where my character, James Kitman, is on a scouting mission or a rescue mission that has led him deep into the Vishari’s territory. He stumbles across the Moon Temple where your character is praying for a mate. The Goddess of the Moon grants your character’s wish, however, she binds him to a human. Plot? This is going to be more of an exploration of character and environment. I don’t have a set plot idea but I do have some plot points we can bring in whenever. Also, I don’t mind if the bond itself has gone uncompleted for a long while. I think that would put more stress/drama on your character. I also don’t mind if it's completed at the beginning of the story. We can discuss that over PMs. Plot points: - Discovering the Sun Temple & completing the ritual there - Human settlement discovers how to make alcohol with local ingredients. Proceeds to get shitfaced. - Truce between Vishari and Humans with strict conditions (James visits the Vishari to learn more about them. YC visits the human’s settlement to learn more about them as well) - New ship arrives, and James’ ex-best friend and ex-wife shows up. Drama. Other Notes: - There is a river that is the unspoken boundary line between the human’s “territory” and the Vishari territory. - The planet is crazy abundant and everything is BIG. Gigantic insects. Gigantic fauna. Gigantic everything. Planet is mostly forest/jungle and mountain. There may be a flat plain here and there to break up the foliage but they are few and far inbetween. - The wildlife is strange and also large. [hider= Vishari] So, usually, I only have a few bullet points for my partner’s race/character so they can build whatever however they want. But this time I’ve spent a lot of time thinking of some aspects that are a must for this. So, please read this carefully. These are the foundations of your race and culture and religion. Feel free to build on top of this. Also, here is a pinterest board for inspiration: https://www.pinterest.com/yevinsouza/fae-%2B-vishari/vishari/ [b]Sun and Moon - Creation Myth and Basis for Mate Ritual and Mates[/b] Long ago, there was no sun, and the Vishari were children of the night, dwelling as four-legged beasts in the moonlight. The moon danced in the sky. She danced so beautifully that anybody who saw her fell in love. One day, she danced too close to the land, waking the sun. When he awoke, he fell instantly for her vision and wanted desperately for her. The first rays of the sun fell upon the land as he rose to meet her. But the moon was terrified and fled. The sun pursued. The moon stepped out of the sky and onto the earth for the first time. Wild, bizarre things bloomed where she stepped. The sun followed, and he left behind blazing footprints, a testament to his love for her. The moon raced across the land, trailed by the sun. The sun eventually caught her, bound her, and claimed her. He then bestowed some of his power on her cherished children, the Vishari. The Vishari were blessed with a second form that walked on two legs, mimicking the moon's beautiful shape. The moon was so pleased that she returned to the sky with the sun, where she dances for him every night and he rises every day to shed his brilliant light on her children. - [b]Mate Ritual [/b] Similar to the tale of the Sun and the Moon. It begins with someone who sees themselves as a sun praying at the Moon Temple seeking guidance to their mate. The Moon is thought to establish an unbreakable bond between them and their mate. The hunt then begins with the Sun pursuing the Moon. When the sun successfully captures their moon, they claim her as their mate. When this rite was still practiced, the Sun would present their Moon with one of their canines from their Night-walker form, which the Moon would wear. The Sun would then receive a gold or silver replacement tooth, indicating that the individual is a Sun with a Moon. - [b]Bond - is it real?[/b] Yes. It is. The bond between YC and MC will be the first in a very long time. I have a couple of ideas for this, but I have not settled on any one. So, we can discuss this together and see what we both would like. - [b]Sun & Moon mates[/b] Vishari revere the Goddess of the Moon so much that they yearn to be a Sun in order to have the honor of having a Moon mate. Sometimes people arrive at the Moon Temple as Suns, only to find their mate already by their side during prayer. This usually requires determining who is the Sun and who is the Moon which is done between the two individuals. A person who is a Sun are typically more dominant or more aggressive of the pair. They also have a tendency to be territorial/possessive about their moons. Sun and Moon pairs call their mate “my moon” or “my sun” respectively of their “role”. Ex: “Hello, brother. This is my moon.” Ex 2: “You look ravishing today, my moon.” I don’t have traditional roles for the Sun and Moon. But you can create traditional roles/duties if you want. Also, I don’t have set expectations on who is sun or moon. Such as, a female can be a sun to a male moon. However, when it comes to YC and MC, YC is Sun and MC is Moon. [/hider] [hider=Vishari History] The Vishari have been able to take two forms since the Sun-Moon bond: their original night-walker shape and their gifted human-like form. They have had this planet to themselves for centuries. Over time, they have built civilizations which then were abandoned or they moved on to a new area and those buildings have been reclaimed by nature. Because of this eb and flow of building structures and leaving them, the Sun Temple has been lost to the forest. Also, because of this eb and flow, you can have the Vishari wherever you want. In the plains, in the mountains, in the forest. [/hider] [hider=Temples] The moon temple is a stone pillar with an oblong shape carved on top and an opalescent blue moonstone inserted in its core. The moonstone is visible from all sides of the pillar. Smooth stone floor expands from the base of the pillar, with circles carved into the surface at regular intervals. The nearest circle to the pillar's base was 20 feet away. The interior of the circle was lined with markings that even the oldest wisewoman couldn't decipher. The sun temple was lost long ago. Nobody remembers what it looks like or what the Sun Temple rituals are. - [b]Prayer[/b] Vishari kneel and bow till their foreheads or the tips of their horns touch the ground when they worship. It is to make even the most powerful Vishari humble in the presence of the Moon Goddess. Those seeking a mate or who have gotten permission from the temple wisewoman may worship in the Moon Temple's innermost circle. It is stated that if one prays on a full moon with the full moon's light striking the moonstone just right, one can hear the Goddess. If she grants your desire, the markings in the circle glow. [/hider] [hider=Vishari, the people] The Vishari are tall and powerful. The women are typically 6'4" tall, not adding the height of their horns. The average man stands at 6'8", with the tallest males hovering around 7'2". Vishari may growl, purr, hiss, and make other sounds. They also possess a fantastic sense of smell, and each individual has a distinct scent. Scents can be highly appealing. [hider=Night-walker] Modifications to a Qilin (Kirin). They have the body of a horse and clawed talons like a dragon instead of hooves. The back legs are more cat or dog-like, allowing them to sit like a cat or dog. Their mane is thick and lengthy and they have a tail like a unicorn. The head is horse-shaped, yet its mouth hinges like a dragon and is packed with predatory teeth. Its head is crowned by a pair of massive horns. Horns are more dragon-like than deer-like as shown in a Qilin or Kirin. The night-walker's body is covered with fur, hair, and scales. Scales cover and protect the most essential regions of the body, such as the underside of the neck and belly. They start at the primary joints of their legs and work their way down to their talons. The scales vary in color, with males being brighter and more colorful than females. There are distinct indicators for males. Fur thickens across the shoulders, resembling a lion's mane. Their scales glisten with iridescence, and their colors are unusual, such as peacock blue and majestic purple. Their tails are longer and more voluminous. Feathering (longer pieces of fur) occurs on the back of their legs. They have a thick beard that grows along their jaw line and tapers to the chin, similar to a goat's beard. The most common coat colors are brown, black, or grey. Black manes and tails are common. Males stand at 10 feet tall at the shoulder. Females can be roughly around 6 to 8 feet at the shoulder. [/hider] [hider=two-legged] Very similar to a demon. They have horns and a tail, which reflect their night-walker form. They have clawed hands and normal feet. Their skin color ranges from mocha to ebony. I’m not sure about including scales in this form. I was thinking the belly and their forearms. But I don’t know. You can add the scales or not. Up to you. [/hider] [hider= Vishari - Your Character] These are notes to be considered in creating your character. He is taller and bigger than the humans - especially James. Connection to the Goddess - Your character’s connection isn't that strong, but when she summons him, he feels her pull. It is the Goddess' connection that takes him to the Moon Temple where he meets his fated mate. [/hider] [/hider] [Hider= James Kitman] Pinterest idea board: https://www.pinterest.com/yevinsouza/character-inspiration/kitman-kitty-detective/ 6’4” and full-of-muscle. His natural strength is above a normal human. Genetically modified: his strength is almost considered supernatural and he heals incredibly fast. He’s able to tap into this supernatural strength but he is always exhausted after using it. This supernatural strength can rival a Vishari’s. -> this is a very surprising fact to any Vishari experiencing it. He is not part of the first group that was woken up after the crash landing. He was woken up after the conflict started as the humans have discovered the Vishari are far bigger and far stronger than they are. His task in the group is: defend & protect. He’s part of the security team but with his abnormal abilities, he is given the toughest jobs which are typically outside of the human territory. He is the only genetically modified human of the group.

The Hero is blessed by the Princess and sent to battle evil. The Hero wins and returns home. When he dies, a new hero rises and is blessed by the Princess. He fights evil and returns victorious. When he dies, the cycle resets and reruns over and over and over again. This is the beautiful history, present and future the current Hero has to look forward to. Except he accidentally discovered the truth. There is no Goddess. And the hero isn’t chosen - he’s created. Plot: This can start 2 ways. The hero confronts his princess and he practically ends up half-dead on the doorstep of his enemy (your character). Or, the hero keeps quiet about his findings and continues the hero’s path, and faces the dark lord in the final battle. In which the hero feints and intends to take what should have been a killing blow. He wakes up in the Dark Lord’s dungeon. [hider= The Dark Lord - Your Character] Notes to consider for your character: He may or may not be aware of the cycle. He leads his people with a firm hand. He has battled the Hero so many times that the Hero’s actions in Plot #2 are very, very odd. [/hider] [hider=The Dark Lord’s People] Are actually oppressed people by the Hero’s country. The original “Dark Lord” has tried to open trade lines with the Hero’s country but has been snubbed too many times. He’s decided to protect his country and his people which has sparked this war which has been going on for centuries. The Hero’s country has developed to routinely crusade against his people and land. With each new crusade, a new hero is presented. I would like the Dark Lord’s people to be the opposite of the Hero’s country. [/hider] [hider=Hero’s Country] A very stiff and religious place that is not at all open to unconventional lifestyles. The princess is highly regarded and almost worshiped as much as the Goddess. It is abundant in trade and has strong connections to other countries. The Goddess’s temples are scattered everywhere in the land but the Sacred Temple is highly protected and the birthplace of the Hero. [/hider] [hider=The Hero] A young man whose sole purpose was to defeat the Dark Lord. After discovering the truth about his origins, he is now confused about his identity and who he is. He discovers more of himself in the company of the Dark Lord.
