A Time After Men - Animal Roleplay

If you so wish, @Zetsuko. It will certainly make for an interesting dynamic.

A Time After Men - Animal Roleplay

While I would not deny you the opportunity to do so, @Zetsuko, I admit you would be on most everyone's menu. Although they might all be hostile to one another, the different factions, they would all likely find a prey item equally delicious, player character or not. This is mostly why I said "predatory animals".

@RedNightHunter, it has not yet been created, nor has the topic itself.

As a side note, if there is sufficient interest I may unlock an additional character slot for participants. If you are curious what the result would be if someone was to not be present, your character merely becomes a Non-Player Character under my, the Game Master's control.

A Time After Men - A Realistic Animal Roleplay

I've been lurking around for sometime in this RP... I'm interested.

(Also Harbringer, that is one badass Sabertooth. Makes me want to play one or something lol)

@Lmpkio

I am pleased to hear your interest! We could always use more.

As for Actual, I am quite fond of him and other sabertooths as a whole, and thus far, there's quite a few it seems that might even be in this roleplay.

A Time After Men - Animal Roleplay

The current interested persons are now @Kaylan The Lioness, @Lmpkio, @RedNightHunter, @The Harbinger of Ferocity, @Zetsuko, and @Zverda. There is still room for up to two more participants, given the way Interest Checks tend to work.

A Time After Men - A Realistic Animal Roleplay

Yes, you can find the new Interest Check in the Casual category here, @RedNightHunter.

A Time After Men - Animal Roleplay

A Time After Men

• The universe is intended to be set in a post apocalyptic near future within the remains of the United States of America, specifically the regions nearest Texas and Oklahoma. While mostly a science fiction plot as it includes animals with near or human-like intelligence, there are intended to be elements unexplained.
  
  • With regard to story, the timeframe is set around the 2040s to the 2050s, with the majority of more advanced human technology having been destroyed by a massive solar flare. Shortly thereafter, the eruption of a super volcano created a cooler habitat that resulted in mass destruction and eventual famine with disease then becoming rampant. The resulting die-off of the human population has created a world where some legacy elements of mankind exist, to include the rare human themselves and many of the modified animals they left behind.
• Generally, the plot is mostly based around the survival and conflict of the characters. While not a "slice of life" roleplay, realism will be a notable focus, and side characters of note will be provided where appropriate if need be to instigate or motivate.
• This is a primarily animal based roleplay, where the player characters have the opportunity to play major predatory mammals. Be them wolves, tigers, bears and even previously extinct beasts or even one of the few surviving human beings.
  
  • It is worth noting that not all animals are made equal; surviving human beings still retain access to firearms, but they find themselves in a world that is devoid of their forefathers' comforts and filled with dangers. Just as so, a lone wolf is no match for a tiger or bear, and even a pack of wolves is in grave danger.
  • Major characters, such as player characters, are assumed to be intelligent, but this is not a requirement. Most animals are merely mundane otherwise. This does not mean however, that different species may communicate. "Subtitles" for communication between similar animals replaces dialogue where appropriate.
  • It is assumed human technology is understood in many different perspectives by these beasts, as some might view it as what it is, while others might perceive it as relics of lost eras.
• The intent is to have no more than five roleplayers present. Those who are active are expected to be capable and competent with not only the English language, but a Casual to Casual-Advanced writing and posting level. The posts themselves, and individuals posting, should expect violence and more mature themes or issues to arise. As typical, explicit adult themes must be carried out strictly in Private Messages.
• The roleplay itself, should it find sufficient interest here, would start no later than early April.
• The current interested persons are @Kaylan The Lioness, @Lmpkio, @RedNightHunter, @The Harbinger of Ferocity, @Zetsuko, and @Zverda. This leaves two slots open for those who are interested.
• Below, please state your comments, interest, questions or concerns.

Waeldeshore: The Wars Beyond [DISCONTINUED]

The door fitting flush against its finely crafted wooden frame, the lioness-woman turned her attention down and unto the two knightly men who had stepped forward into the room; handling the elven blade still at the ready, she remained where she was. Yet, before she could so much as beg a question that now grated at her conscious, Sir Hepburnberg provided his apologies on behalf the small woman, accompanied by a slight bow of the head.

“I apologize for my halfling friend for her lack of etiquette, her boldness is not meant to irritate I assure you.”

The huntress returned the gesture, proving to mimic the motion with a surprising amount of grace; she was not so lacking in the customs of mortals as she may had seemed at first. It was not a surprise, one could reason though - between the scarring that visibly consumed portions of her and her apparent age, she was clearly more than familiar with the works of men and those alike them.

Golden gaze lingering, she proved to turn to look in Regina's direction before she so much as moved. The halfling had been on and about an intruder, which still struck the old warrior as a bit perplexing. The wards should have more than protected the entirety of the house, even from an attack within. Sakaala had no doubt about what they the wards were, in that while she was a sorceress, wizardry was not entirely as distant a cousin to it as mortals often touted; the magic was still of the arcane source, not that god given or the more obscure like those shadow or stranger.

As quickly as the psychic had escalated things before, she did so again now by proclaiming she was certain it was this "Isabeau". It was all the former ranger had come to hear as of this day, and while the source did not seem reliable as it was often in the throes of fierce emotion, that same emotion played itself out as legitimate belief; there was no doubt the halfling woman found herself convinced of what was transpiring and that much was apparent to the company of the two men and monster.

Again before they could so much as respond, she set upon rambling, asking of what they could do, asking of magic, saying the intruder was hiding, then just as quickly proclaiming a search was needed. It was all more than enough, the assault of incoherent train of thought, to draw the anger of the lioness.

"Enough." She said firmly, gritting her teeth and silencing the exchange. While not a forceful growl to her voice, it was a demanding one.

"The entirety of this house is warded by the works of a paranoid wizard. If there were such an intruder, no less this 'Isabeau'," The ebony flesh that lined her jowls flexed as she formed the words of the common tongue, "We would be more than aware, if not perhaps dead ourselves."

The lowering of her sword settled in as it then became idle by her leviathan belt which still bore shrouded, curved, tribal blades upon her hip. Each movement the leonine form made was thoughtful as she tried to outthink the situation at hand; all the details were becoming muddied by the paranoia and emotion. Both could get any aspiring mercenary adventurer killed, and the thought of it drove -

"Diagorides." The huntress uttered, at first to herself, "Diagorides, Hills - did you summon him as well?"

Shaking her head side to side with a lightly snarled exhale, "No, you never mentioned him earlier." She answered her own question as her memory provided insight and wisdom on the matter when she reflected upon it.

"Lady Genevieve can more than handle one 'witch', should she already be there, as any wizard prepared to fight is oft to win." The silvery blade tapped the side of her golden furred legs, of which were like finely detailed works of animal muscle and fur. "There is more at work here, but we are not about to abandon anyone."

"We need find the large man, then we can begin hunting for the source of this matter." Speaking as she was, she looked from Regina to Sir Hepburnberg and then Sir Erran.

It was a simple matter really, as their force only multiplied when together, and a lone intruder now matter how powerful would likely just be overcome by sheer numbers. No less careful to remove any notion of it, the aged huntress did hold legitimate concern for the burly man - not because she thought he would get himself killed if the assassin was present, quite the contrary, but because he was the only other true mercenary here. Someone else with enough wiles and experience in the bloody trade to have the senses needed to avoid pitfalls and dangers that others would ignore...

@Zetsuko, it certainly could benefit from more interested persons. I only need but a few to begin the check itself.

Some of us can not only see in the darkness, we find ourselves alive in it.
