Although the question regarding Player Races wasn't meant for me, some of the more monstrous options offer some interesting possibilities, especially regarding the theme of cooking.

For example, does it count as cannibalism, if a minotaur eats beef?
Could be worth a try.

Would love to hear more about this!

EDIT:: btw that video was absolutely perfect! lol

------------------------------------------------

I also love how y'all are knowledgeable about the Waterworld movie and cannon lore. This will be a Waterworld-esque RP, so somethings will not be included, for instance gasoline is not a thing in this world, as drilling for crude oil is basically impossible. Things like guns/bullets are also incredibly rare, because of what it takes to make and use them. Mariner kind though not realistic, are going to be a thing because a little fantasy in an RP is always fun. I will also be using elements from the anime gargantua the verdurous planet. Keep the ideas and suggestions flowing, I love seeing them, and they are helping me put the OOC together.


All right.

So the mariners, or whatever we're gonna call them, I was thinking would be more like partially aquatic mammals similar to polar bears, sea otters or (if we want to go all the way) seals. They can't breathe underwater, but can hold their breath for a long time thanks to their diving adapted lungs. They can also close their ears and nostrils at will to avoid water getting in (Mariner ears might be abnormally small and they use scarves and similar headwear to hide them). They have more body fat and incredibly thick skin to regulate their inner temperatures. Mariner feet have webs between the toes (and might be longer, broader and flatter than human feet, forcing them to wear big shoes similar to those found in Kingdom Hearts and other Square games). Their fingers are however normal, allowing them to grab and throw objects without trouble (and are very good at throwing underwater)

I Haven't planned anything regarding Mariner culture and society (if they even have them), but I think they'd consider "mutant" to be an offensive slur.

Well, there are still plenty of fuel options, ethanol, vegetable oil, that kind of stuff. We could also have "Sparkies", who have (re-)mastered electricity instead of combustion.

Also, what sort of anime elements did you have in mind? The Mariners do have aquatically adapted ears, so it would be easy to explain kemonomimi direction.
What are some plots/settings/stories you would be interested in seeing within the RP?


Although I wasn't part of the initial poll, playing a Waterworld game interests me, and I did have and idea or two

I found this video on youtube

Long story short, it's about the Smokers being stupid villains in how they waste their valuable fuel (and just about everything else) in raiding (thanks to them) ever-dwindling populace of survivors, and would have been much more successful in using their (relatively) advanced engineering and industrial base as peaceful traders.

So, what if the Smokers (or their equivalent) in this game were originally benevolent gardeners and fishermen, until Deacon (or his equivalent) took over and turned them into the self-destructive pirates we know?

I also had some ideas for more realistic mutations for the Mariner's kind.
Harano


Harano looked around, but didn't see much else besides the forest, although in a distance there seemed to be a village of some kind. The Kobold wondered whether or not to go there. He was technically a fantasy monster, and he didn't feel like getting slaughtered as one.

It was then that he noticed a young girl in a dress of some kind, gathering firewood. Perhaps he could determine from her reactions how people treated kobolds here. The girl probably wouldn't try and kill Harano immediately, but she might run back to the village to get a mob. Then it was a matter of finding a hiding place. Nonetheless, the kobold decided to get closer, jumping down from branch to branch to get down faster.

Harano might have landed with too much force on the next branch, because all of a sudden it broke underneath him, sending him as well falling to the ground. Terrified of dying again, Harano grabbed the branch, useless as it was, but then his fingers started glowing. The branch suddenly went back up, pulling the Kobold with him.

"Umm... what just happened?" The confused Harano thought aloud after discovering himself holding onto the branch, now reattached to the tree.
Hello again, long time no see.

I know our last attempt at roleplaying didn't quite succeed, but if you're up for a new try, in an old game or new one, I'm all in.
I'm ready
Harano


They say life flashes before your eyes as you die. For Andrew, what flashed before his eyes were the rock, the sky and the water, as he spun around falling to his death into the sea. He didn't think much, not of how he wasn't careful or how he was going to be missed by his family and friends. All that ran in his mind was horror.

And then he felt the splash, and it was all over.

Or not quite.

For Harano found himself still conscious, though drowning. Luckily the worst panic was gone and he could clearly see the sun through the water. Quickly he swam out of the water and grasped a stone. Holding to it, he gasped for air. He thanked his luck that he had managed to survive the fall. After calming down, Harano rose to the river bank and sat down.

Harano, why had he called himself that? Harano, no, Andrew, looked down at his hands in shock.

"My hands!" he exclaimed. His hands were scaly and green.

"My face!" Hara... Andrew exclaimed again after feeling his face, long and just as scaly as his hands.

"My...tail?" He queried after realizing that a lizard's tail was now attached to his butt. Pondering just what else had changed in him, H... Andrew looked into the river. Although the water's movement made the image blurry, Andrew could see that the reflection showed no human. Instead in front of him stood a lizard, no, kobold. Somehow Andrew knew that the being was a kobold. Granted, he wasn't exactly unfamiliar with mythological creatures, especially those used in games, but this realization was like from within, like and identity.

Identity... That was when it hit Andrew. He had died as Andrew from the fall, and was now Harano. Had he been born and lived as Harano and only now remembered the truth? Whatever the case, it seemed that this was how he was going to roll.

But first things first. Andrew... Harano, had to determine where he was and where to go from there. He seemed to be in a forest of some kind, like straight out of a fairy tale.

"Hello!" Harano shouted, "Hello!?"

He could hear the echoes of his voice, but not much else. Perhaps he could find more if he got a higher viewpoint. Finding a large tree, Harano began climbing it.
@Chiro

I am more than happy to step aside. Please go for it :)


Thanks.

I think I'll PM Rocking Strings myself.
I'd also be glad to play a villain, if it's not too late to apply
