@Zanavy It's a placeholder name, but I love corny stuff like that so I might keep it, heh. XD
Oh, and I came up for an idea for corn! In the heat of battle (or a fit of rage) they bulk up like the Hulk. Or alternatively, they can store up energy to be released in the form of fireworks.
I would like to reserve the dandelion essence, please. =) Too tired to finish a sheet tonight, though....
Name: Danielle Lyon Appearance:
Danielle is rather plain and average looking, never one to stand out in a crowd. She is not ugly, but "pretty" at best. Her hair is grown out long and is blond that almost appear green in poor lighting, but golden in sunlight. Her skin is pale and somewhat translucent, making injuries and blemishes more apparent. Her eyes are hazel, some parts more gold and other parts more green in appearance. She has an average bust, small rump, and slight belly. Gender: Female Age: Occupation: Plant Essence: (what kind of plant has connected with your character and given them a superpower) Superpower(s): (aim for a 2 or 3/10 on the powerful scale with a potential to scale up over time) Personality: History: (should include when their plant connection started) Miscellaneous: (optional)
I haven't decided on a power or character that's right for me, but here are some ideas free for the taking or for inspiration.
Clover/Shamrock: Brings good luck. Jalapeno or Habenero: Body fluids contain capsaicin. Capable of spitting/spraying "pepper spray" naturally. Nightshade: Body fluids contain potentially deadly poison and/or control over shadow/darkneess. Thistle, Cactuses, other spikies: The hair on the person's body are sharp and "sticky". They may be launched similarly to tarantulas Plants with burrs: May summon or produce burs which may be used to track and spy on targets through a mental link, and/or be used as spiky, thorn grenades. Sunflower: Absords and releases solar energy. Aloe: Body fluids contain a super healing ointment and/or healing touch. Durian: Produces a horrible, unbearable stench. Carrots: Enhanced/keen eyesight, but "carrot top" hair. Peas: May mentally link with up to two other people while touching. Tomatoes, Passion Fruit, and other aphrodisiacs: control and/or manipulation of emotions, hormones, or pheromones. May be graced with charm or good looks. Watermelon: control/manipulation and/or production of water. Pumpkin: Transformation into a monster with a Jack-o-lantern head. Pomegranate: Blood magic and/or manipulation. Pitcher plant: Able to dislocate jaw to consume large items. May digest anything. Catnip: Attracts felines (including wildcats) and has limited command over them. (Attack, defend, stay, go, etc.)
The basic idea is that a group of either high school friends or college students visit a real shaman to learn more about the tribe and their ways. The group agrees to participate in a coming-of-age ritual that results in young visitors transforming into their totem animals in order to learn a lesson (about love, trust, courage, friendship, generosity, humility, etc) in order to be transformed back.
As animals they are able to understand both animals and humans, but can only speak with other animals.
Is anybody interested? Would anybody who is familiar with native Americans be willing to guide and/or GM this roleplay?
@Argetlam350 Both sound like great, though thoughtful changes. =) Not too long ago I tweaked my character's ancestry to make her more of a mutt (more common in lower class animals.)
I don't have any clear plans right now (I'm sorry to admit I've lost a lot of steam due to recent events) but I was thinking our characters could check out the club booths, where the animal elitists and human supremacists will be trying to recruit. And there may be one or two more sketchy booths I have in mind....
Melanie Rose PourriThe Eukary Quad, 8:30AM. "Mmph, mph, mmm... ah! This human-food is so good!" Melanie exclaimed happily between mouthfuls. The two girls sat at a picnic table near a food truck. Her eyes were closed with joy and her snout was covered in fine powder. "Yeah, they invented the world's best food-pizza!" Kayla heartily agreed. Melanie chuckled, knowing that Kayla could eat pizza everyday, three times a day.
She tore off another piece of fried dough, chewed thoughtfully, then swallowed. "Want to check out the club booths before it gets too busy?" Mel asked. She wanted to check out the chess club booth before the event and maybe visit Nolan at the Write Club booth, if she didn't chicken out first.
"Sure, why not? We'll be here all day anyway. There's more than enough time for everything," Kayla replied. Melanie smiled and nodded, her face stuffed like a chipmunk with fried dough. She swallowed, then licked the powdered sugar off her claws. "Alright! Let's go," Melanie answered enthusiastically.
The girls got up from the picnic table and put their plates in a nearby trash bin. Mel brushed the sugar off her snout and light jacket, a smile forming on her face. Her tail had a slight lift and a wag (a sugar rush?) As they started off toward the club booths. There must have been at least 20 different club booths, of all different shapes and sizes and run by different kinds of animals. As it was still fairly early in the morning, there were only one or two animals visiting any given booth and some had no visitors at all. Some booths just had a person or two running it, handing out brochures or flyers but some were more interesting. Some clubs, like the chess club, even had events on the itinerary.
They walked pretty fast past the sports teams and clubs, neither girl having interest in those. Then there were the nerdy clubs, like astronomy club and science club, and Mel slowed down as they went by, to look at the cool bubbling vials and telescope. Then there were arts and hobbies clubs, which Mel was most interested in. The anime club had lots of neat toys and two animals were reading manga between visitors. The book club people had a book on display and a sloth was offering to give a copy to new members. There was a Scrabble match going on at the board game booth. Two animals were having a Pokemon battle in the videogame booth. Two reptiles were keeping warm under a heat lamp at the sunbathers club. The cooking club was giving away free samples (which were wonderfully delicious).
Then they finally came across write club. Melanie's heart raced faster and faster as she approached the booth. A lion with a beautiful wavy brown mane was leaning over the table, talking with three other guys: an ostrich with wild curly hair, and an alpaca with long curly fur that covered his eyes, and a tall elephant with a few curly hairs on his head and a shirt that read,'Not the elephantine the room', altogether a group that seemed oddly familiar. The boys seemed to be focusing on a piece of paper in Nolan's paws, until they saw the girls approaching.
"Hey, good morning girls! Didn't you two go to high school with us?" the elephant asked with a friendly wave. "Oh, um, I don't know..." Melanie mumbled almost inaudibly. She scratched herself behind the ear, pulling a blank. Her eyes fell on Nolan, who folded up his paper and put it away, smiling almost shyly. Mel smiled back and looked away.
"Hm, yes I believe we were! Same year, too. Wolfewood, right?" The guys nodded, remembering. "Yeah! Yeah that's right. Small world, isn't it?" the elephant agreed. Melanie looked in awe at the group, her eyes wide with surprise. She went to school with all these guys, including Nolan, and didn't know? Wow, she really was a loser loner through high school. She was lucky one of her few friends had gone to the same college with her, or else she could have been completely alone!
"I'm so glad I got out of that town. Bunch of wolves-- Oh, um, no offense," the ostrich apologized. Kayla shook her head. "No offense taken. They were a bunch of animals. I'm happy to escape that small town, Kayla replied good-naturedly. The boys smiled and nodded. "Oliver. And that's Coby, Brett, and Nolan," the elephant explained as he gestured from himself, to the ostrich, alpaca, and lion. The guys said their greetings.
"Thank you. It's, ah, nice to get reacquainted. I'm Melanie," Mel shyly introduced herself, looking towards the ground. "And I'm Kayla. Nice to see you again!" she said with a friendly wag of her tail as she started walking away. Melanie held back, smiling shyly at Nolan but struggling to say anything. She clasped her paws nervously.
"Why don't you check us out at the Open Mic coming up? No pressure, you can just watch and enjoy some free food and drink," Nolan offered, handing Mel a brochure. Mel smiled and nodded, taking the brocure before shuffling after her friend.
Cool, I think I'll wait to see what kind of monster we will fight before I make a character. I might change my character with each monster rather than using the same one every time if that's okay.
Melanie survived the next few days without getting murdered or kidnapped in her sleep. Time actually passed by rather uneventfullyb and Melanie was grateful for that. Most of her time was spent hiding in her dorm studying for her exams, but whenever Mel had to go out and class Kayla couldn't be with her, Nolan somehow found a way to be by her side. Gradually the burn of staring eyes began to fade away, then altogether disappeared.
The school day got shorter as the week went by and each final marked the end of each class. It was nice to have more study time but she found herself missing the walks with her new bodyguard, and she found herself staying up later and later to chat with her new friend.
By Saturday all of Melanie's classes were over and she eagerly awaited and dreaded her test results. Having nothing else to do (since she hadn't brought herself to volunteer to help with the Carnival) Mel opened up her messenger with a pounding heart. Minutes turned to hours and Mel soon found herself chatting and playing online chess with Nolan late into the night...

Sunday, December 19th, 7:00AM. Girl's Dorm, Eukary Campus. "Mel! Melly! Wake up!" a voice cheerfully yipped. Mel woke with a start. "Huh, wha!? Uhh..." Mel groaned. She rubbed at her eyes and looked around. "Oh no! Where is my laptop?" Mel asked as she frantically threw her blankets and got out of the bed. Kayla stepped back and chuckled. "I put it on your desk. You fell asleep using it. Were you staying up late talking with that lion guy you met?" the spaniel teased, grinning. "Noooo-oh!" Mel answered, embarrassed. Kayla smiled and gave her a disbelieving look. Melanie went over to her desk and opened the computer. No damage to be seen. She closed the screen and her own eyes and breathed. "Okay, I lied. Maybe I fell asleep while talking to him," she confessed, looking away. She smiled and blood rushed to her face. Kayla laughed. "I knew it--you like him! You should invite him over sometime to hang out so I can meet him."
A couple minutes passed as the girls picked out their clothes and got their shower totes. "Will he be at the festival?" Kayla asked. Her tail wagged excitedly. "Yes, but he will be with his friends. Maybe we will run into each other." Kayla nodded. "Cool! Let's hope." As they started out the door, the two girls were hoping for different things.Sunday, December 19th, 2021, 8:00AM. Eukary Quad. Sunny, 42°F. A warm sunbeam fell on the two girls as they emerged from the dorm. Mel squinted and held a paw to block the light. Over the past week, they had received a few days and several inches of snow. It would be an excellent year for outdoor festivities.
Most of the Quad had been roped off with red plastic tape on wooden posts. It wouldn't keep anybody out, and in fact many young animals were sneaking in. The honest and those who could afford to pay lined up at either of two entrances (the dorm side and the road side). Melanie and Kayla of course approached from the dorm side.
Their ticket booth worker stood in a small, red wooden hut. A family of four beavers approached the booth in line ahead of them. "Ah, what a lovely family you have here... That will be a twenty dollar donation, please," a graying grizzly bear requested. The man handed him the cash and the bear licked his fingers before counting the money. A few seconds later he handed the portly man a bundle of four tickets. "Thank you, have a great time!" he said with a wave of his paw. The family moved on and Mel approached the booth with Kayla by her side.
"Let me guess--you're both students! Did you remember to bring your school IDs?" he asked with a wrinkled face and a smile. The two girls presented their IDs. He squinted to get a look and adjusted his spectacles. "Looks good! Go on and enjoy yourselves," he said, waving his paw. The girls said their thanks in unison, waving back at him as they went.
Inside the fence there were countless people of all different shapes, sizes, and ages. There were rows upon rows of food trucks, gift vendors, and carnival games for prizes. There were sounds of laughing, winner bells ringing, and live music in the distance. Wonderful smells tantalized Melanie's nose.
"What do you want to do first? So many things happening here..." Kayla asked as she read over an itinerary brocure she picked up at the entrance. "There's ice skating and sledding all day, and the ice sculptures should be done by now. There are a lot of local bands playing at the bandstand throughout the day. Hmm. Later on, there's a snow dodgeball competition, snowmobile racing, speed skating, figure skating, snowball rolling... or maybe we could could check out the club booths and events? Work on that new year's resolution?" Kayla went on with her nose in the brocure.
"Well... I need to be at the chess club event at two, but other than that, maybe we check out everything? Huh, except the snowmobile races. I don't like the noise and the exhaust. Makes me sick. Bleh!" Mel answered, making a mock sick face. She looked around and her eyes settled on a food cart. Her mouth started to water. "Let's start with breakfast!" Kayla chuckled and smiled. "Heh, Sounds good to me!"
