[Average Hero]

Mature Rating: Violence, Sexual Innuendo, nudity.

Spoiler: The World 

A garden of untouched canopies of treetops dotting the sky and separating the Sun’s warmth into rays the break through even the smallest of spaces high above our heads. Below our feet rises and falls life as the Sun dictates how time will pass for all of us, and we are all cursed by a mortal life. The meadows as far as the eye can see of flowers that mix in with others that to the humans have no business being there, as their only goals are iron and the worthless rock beneath the dirt where only the dead lay to rest. The expanse of our forests are beyond large, and delve even into the tundra’s of the north and the deserts of the far East, even under the waves the lap at our shores, the life of our world reaches below and takes hold of what we see as uninhabitable. Our Mother, she is a strong one, she is a mysterious one, she gives and she takes. The Sun, her father, dictates not only our time but our Mother’s as well. We are all mortal, from our Mother’s Father, and her children that sleep in the bosom of her gifts.
Are world is the essence of beauty as life and death and other mysteries even we, as Gods cannot hope to comprehend.

There is another side to our world. They are a plague that our Mother does not wish eradicated but to reach a pact of peace. We do not see it, nor can we hope to stop them without force. They burn their stocks of wood, and slaughter the creatures of the forest not for nourishment but for pleasure. They are greedy, and not only to the fires of war follow them, but a cloud of smog that leaves nothing alive in their wake. These creatures are known to us as Humans, and they are nothing but blight. Their cities erupt from the ground in less than a single cycle of the moon, they may not be large, but their walls, numbers, and fire arms make them just as formidable as the strongest of our kind.
In their span of life which has only numbered a few hundred years, they have corrupted portions of our water, killed some of our kinds so that they never rise again, and others run in fear of their weapons.
Its madness, they want, and what they want they do not ask for, they take it without hesitation. Our Mother is falling ill and cannot keep us from succumbing to the plague that’s following the humans. The Demons that sleep within their sins tear away our souls, and our knowledge and re awaken us as only hateful brutes with but one need, to slaughter anything in our path. We fear that disease more than falling to the weapons of the humans.

Our world has moved from beautiful and forgiving, to shattered and ravenous with rage, and yet the soul of our Mother still begs for peace. Regardless of what will come next, we will stand guard of our Mother and with fangs, and claws, as well as deceit tear at the human’s throats and rip out their hearts. We will repay them, as they spilled blood on our lands, so shall their blood spill to theirs.

Spoiler: The Plot 

As you may have guessed, humanity is the enemy in this rp. The Earth(Mother) has been plagued by humanity and while she suffers in pain she still seeks to reach a peaceful solution with the Humans. We (The Gods, Spirits, Deities, ect) cannot see a peaceful solution without force before hand. So for quite some time the humans have pushed us deeper and deeper into the more protected areas of the forest, however as they grow and expand their cities and look for more minerals, they must kill more and more of our forests.

In some cases some of the former Gods have succumb to a certain demonic plague that has yet to be named and is only referred to as "Demons" What the Demons do is have a God or spirit succumb to his or her inner rage and forever be lost until relieved of their life by The Earth or The Sun (Father) This actually scares us more than the humans themselves, as all of these Demons are bred from humans sins. Note that as Gods we have emotions but we are pure and do not take what we do not need.

Both humanity and the Demons are a common enemy of all the God's whether or not all of us get along, and as we are pushed into the forests we lose more and more of our homes, this also means that the earth is slowly dying, and with its dying soul we turn into nothing more than brutish bloodthirsty creatures. We would lose our power and knowledge.
So the rps story is to put a stop to the humans excessive taking and destroying and thereby stopping the Demons, we can either eradicate them or come to a peaceful solution so the rp has two possible outcomes.

Spoiler: Important Notes 

1. All God characters will have the ability to take on a human form, so an appearance both animalistic and human will be required.

2. Humans have first generation fire arms and some more advance (cannons chainguns (has wheels and doesn't fire as far as you're thinking, also mines and grenades)

3. As I said before their are two possible outcomes to this rp. Peaceful and total destruction.

4. I would as well like to see friction between characters, lovers, enemies on the same side, things like that, makes the story itself a bit more intriguing.

5. Rpers, may choose to reside in their human forms more often than not instead of their animal forms, they might even use swords or bows with god like might.

6. There are not elves, or any other species, I may allow the use of one Dragon and one only, however this is up to my discretion as currently I am not sure. The Gods should try to take on the highly evolved animals, wolves, tigers, eagles, that sort of thing but keep it various. I do not mind more than one wolf or ect. But to many of one thing is always bad.

7. I can't think of any thing else to add right now other than I'd love to hear some suggestions from all of you who wish to participate. Or if you have questions please please ask.

Spoiler: History: 

As the history goes, seeing as all of will be knowing almost everything the world has to offer I feel its important that you all makes sure to know a bit about the world.
First of the world was not always in its present situation, at one given point in time (the beginning of Earth) Humans, Animals, and Earth all lived in harmony with each other. Each only took what they needed to survive. However over time humans grew to want more, and when the Gods or Earth refused to deliver they took it by force. This led at to the first bloodshed between man and creature that was out of spite. Since then Man has begun sinking its teeth into the ground to force its own crops to grow, build its own shelter's and burn the minerals the Earth gave freely without thought of waste. Essentially humans became a blight on the Earth itself. A few years or so past before Man actually was able to force the Gods back, this was with the building of Guns, bombs, and cannons, (Mind you it is important that all of you know these guns are accurate but fire one bullet at a time and then need to be fully reloaded, these are very old style weapons, so sword and spears are still in play.) These weapons in time over powered the animals sheer numbers as they were not only at war but being hunted for food. This went on for quite sometime until Man controlled about 60% of the world (This is at the time the rp is beginning)
Animals have begun being reduced to rage born beasts with no intellect and it is a danger that even the Gods are feeling the same sickness.

Spoiler: Important Details: 

1. All animals are larger than their normal size, generally anywhere from double to triple, while small creatures, (insects, mice, snakes,) can be roughly five to six times.
2. Gods can die
3. It is important that you know that regardless of animal, human, or hybrid form you retain all your powers.
4. You can become human, animal, or hybrid for as long as you wish

Spoiler: Rules: 

1. The CS does not have to be long, I have an example in this first post, but it should be structured well
2. Respect my Co-Gm- Cerulean Sin
3. I would like to see 2-3 paragraph posts: This is non-negotiable.

Spoiler: Cs and Notes on CS 

Spoiler: CS 

Name: (Doesn’t have to be anything in particular, but no last names, Gods are first names only)
Age: (you’re immortal. Still you can be a new god or old god.)

Type of God: (This will be your animal)
Animal Appearance: (Please note all Gods are about triple the size of their base counter parts. ((Though a big creature I.E. Elephant will only be double)) You may have scars, a certain shine to your fur but no painted symbols that are constantly there you take the appearance of a normal animal just three times as big)

Human Appearance: ( Your human appearance should blend in to the current time period. You have full control over skin color, gender, age, and literally everything…You’re a damn god. The only thing I ask is keep it the same every time otherwise it gets confusing.)

Power: (Please look in the CS Notes spoiler for a list of power

Weapon: If you so choose, please list the weapon, if it is not a popular weapon please attach a link, for those using animals base weapons just list N/A

Spoiler: CS Notes 

Powers: (gods generally have some kind of manipulation over elements or something of the nature, however this is slightly different. All gods have inherent powers- regeneration, immunity to most diseases ((accept the main story disease)) and are immortal until having their heads cut off. Gods may choose an inherent ability to make better. Also note that you retain this as human and when you fight as human you can use your animals base weapons, as well as a human weapon if wanted)
List of inherent abilities: You may choose one, but you have all of them, the one you’ve chosen will be significantly better.
Comparison: Your choice is strength- You go from ramming through trees and brush to ramming through fortified walls
Your choice is pain tolerance- You go from getting a couple of sword swipes to a couple of gun shots.
Ect. ect.
Regeneration
Pain Tolerance
Force- (Like a blast of sound from an extremely loud roar)
Speed-(allows better jumping too)
Strength-( allows better jumping too)
Smell
Sight
Hearing

If you actually read down to here you may hereby in quotation marks tell me to fuck off, if you don't I'll ask you to re-read the CS- Yes I'm serious.

If you have any questions place ask, some of the power may need a comparison, but hopefully you can get the gist from this list.

This will consist of synopsis posts after every so often, an accepted character list and other general updates.

For each new edited edition of the updates I will post an * beside it

1. Co-Gm: CeruleanSin

Name: Aetherius
Age: 6795

Type of God: Wolf. (Canis Lupus)

[spoiler=Animal Appearance: 1 White Fur, 2 Black Fur]
As a god, Aetherius is not committed to one color of fur. Much of his anger and love will reside in one or the other. White depicts Aetherius at his most compassionate and loving, while black depicts him at his most hateful and violent

[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Human Appearance:]
The human appearance is one that depicts sorrow and loss, almost as if having the pride of his wolven nature stripped from his claws and fangs. Wolves do not hide, they strike, they face their opponents with pride.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Hybrid Appearance] As opposite of his human mask as you can get the raw form of his nature is seen with a spectacular power to strike fear into the hearts of all enemies through viciousness and the pierce of the might howl.

Chihuahuan Raven (Corvus Cryptoleucus)

Spoiler: Animal Appearance 

"The Chihuahuan Raven is a species of bird in the family Corvidae that is native to the United States and Mexico. It was formerly known as the American White-necked Raven, and has the proportions of a Common Raven with a heavy bill, but is about the same size as a Carrion Crow, or slightly larger than the American Crow (44–51 cm (17–20 in) long). The plumage is all-black with a rich purple-blue gloss in good light. The nasal bristles extend farther down the top of the bill than in any other Corvus species to about two-thirds the length. The base of the neck feathers are white (seen only when ruffled in strong wind). The bill, legs and feet are black."

Syl however, is of course much, much larger than the typical run-of-the-mill Corvus Cryptoleucus. Due to the law in which those found to be of God-hood, she has a median wingspan of 7'2", is approximately 4'4" length-wise and holds a body mass of 11lbs. Much in comparison to the size of a normal White-tailed Eagle, she is still classified as petite to those of her kin.

Contrary the purple-blue gloss that one would see shinning in the light off of a common Chihuahuan Raven, Syl has been spotted to radiate a golden glow when in direct sunlight.

Spoiler: Picture 

Spoiler: Human Appearance 

Syllia is most known for parading around in long robes and dresses when in human form. She often tends to stick with colors that accent not only her human appearance, but her animals as well. With that being said, you would more than likely find her in golds, browns, blacks or pale yellows.

Her lips are a plump, soft pink, that compliments the waxen complexion that masks her. With hues the color of chestnuts, sparked with caramel flecks, her appearance is anything but unsightly. She stands at a whopping 5'6" and a half and has locks the color of raven(who'd uh thunk it), that cascades clear past her shoulders and to the small of her slender back. Her frame is petite and fragile, but please do not be deceived - for you would be wrong in believing that she were weak. She is rather muscular due to a vigorous routine, though one wouldn't tell with looking at her. Just because she may be a god, does not give means to be lazy.

When in her human form, there is always baby raven feathers located at the nap of her neck, bleeding into her hairline. When startled, suspicious or even pleased, those few feathers will rise, just as if someone were to get goosebumps. She often has an arm band on, sheathing medallions of a lost city where ravens were once worshiped, with feathers hanging loosely from their edges.

Spoiler: Picture 

Spoiler: Halfling Appearance 

Lia isn't too fond of her halfling form. It is commonly only used when putting on a show to frighten humans, or in drastic need to appear more than what she is. She prefers her human and animal forms before her third.

Spoiler: Picture 

Syllia has the advanced ability of sight, allowing her to see much clearer and more efficient when in both human and animal forms. This helps with spotting oncoming enemies faster, prey and even smaller things that would typically escape the normal eye.

Her weapon of choice would be her Metallic Quills. Shaped into the form of a ravens feather, the quill is razor sharp; the tiniest of pin-pricks could draw blood. The barbs, located on the barbules along the quill are thorn thick, causing the dart like object to embed itself within it's target. If thrown properly, one would need assistance to accurately pull it out, so as to not cause more damage to the body. On occasion, she is known for dipping the quill tips into a paralyzing poison, preventing an attacker from further advancement. After all, she's not one to big on physical fighting, she needs all the help she can get.

'eff you.

[Rho Aias VII]

Pretty short, and made an assumption with my power. Just tell me if you want it changed or anything.


Name: Akasha
Age: Stopped counting centuries ago, presumed to be 1000’s of years old

Type of God: Great Golden (Brown) Bear

Spoiler: Animal Appearance 

A giant golden coloured bear with kind brown eyes. Approximately 10 ft. when standing on all fours, and 25 ft. when standing on hind legs. When standing in the dark, fur colour is seen as brown instead of gold, and only the stomach fur is still perceived as gold.

Spoiler: Picture 

Spoiler: Human Appearance 

Akasha is lightly tanned and has ruffled golden-blonde hair which is of moderate length. Surprisingly, he is completely clean-shaven and looks normal as far as a human would go, the only thing to suggest otherwise is his imposing size.

Spoiler: Picture 

Imagine him without the glasses and cigarette, yo.

Spoiler: Halfling Appearance 

When Akasha is enraged, he takes on his halfling appearance, which is a much darker and more sinister version of his animal form. When in this form, he stands on two legs and loses most of the advantages of all his powers except for strength and speed.

Spoiler: Picture 

Power: Akasha is a master of the power of strength, capable of destroying fortress walls when going all-out. When in human form, he is not capable of the same levels of strength as in bear form due to lacking the size behind his strikes; he circumvents this through curious fighting styles. Also, Akasha is capable of becoming enraged and therefore fuelling his strength even more by sacrificing all of his other powers except for strength and speed.

Weapon: N/A

Fuck you.

[Average Hero]

Ceru you are a goddess as always.

And Rho I don't see any form of problem with that, I see it kind of like a burst of rage. However, I would assume that in some way thats timed? I would imagine doing it for more than a minute or so (the initial charge) would end up with him being killed

[SilverAce]

Name: Xyrin

Type of God: soemmeringii cheetah. (A very rare species where few remain.)/ soemmeringii,
Curabitur

Spoiler: Xyrin 

She doesn't like to wear flashy things, but more of something that is comftorable enough to run in.

Spoiler: Dress 

Spoiler: Cheetah 

She mostly preffers her animal form over her human form, because she somewhat feels more free. She has an interesting spot on her forehead (in animal form) which would be three spots together, making it look like a diamond. In her human form she has a diamond tattoo on the back of her neck.

Spoiler: Halfling appearance 

Age: 563 years old
Power: of course, speed and agility. Although she is fast, it is at a reasonable speed of a cheetah, such as 90 mph? She mainly runs away from an enemy, due to the fact that she isn't one for fighting.

Weapon: two thin combat knives that she attaches to the inside of her arm. (Not in the skin though eww...) she pulls them out when she needs to attack. Although she is very much against fighting, she mainly uses them as a defense, if she hasn't ran away yet.

"Fuck off"

[Rho Aias VII]

Ceru you are a goddess as always.

And Rho I don't see any form of problem with that, I see it kind of like a burst of rage. However, I would assume that in some way thats timed? I would imagine doing it for more than a minute or so (the initial charge) would end up with him being killed

Indeed, there is a timed limit, however, I doubt my character would get anywhere near the limit (which is about a limit) as during that period of time, all he has is speed and strength, other than that he's a normal human. (Funny thought that) Which would mean, he gets shot in the shoulder, he's going to fall down in pain and probably morph back to Bear form.

[Heroic Hope]

Name: Mallesti
Age: Around 1,500

Type of God: Burmese Python Python molurus bivittatus

Spoiler: Animal Appearance 

Mallesti herself is an albino Burmese Python. The albino mutation of these pythons has also become quite collectible to the humans, due to their white colour with yellow and butterscotch patterns. Because she is larger than her animal counterparts, she is roughly 12 meters (36 feet) long, not that too many have tried to measure.

Spoiler: Perhaps a bit playful 

Spoiler: Human Appearance 

As a human, Mallesti prefers to come off as a quiet one. Her hair is always, always mussed and long, a rugged curtain that is useful for a surprise attack. The attack, of course, being her face. It is striking in a way, always holding the emotions of curiosity and frightfulness. Although, Mallesti herself is far from curious and frightful. She uses these frail, damsel-seeming looks to manipulate others and use them to her advantage. Her build is a lean and tall one, at around 5'11". She is by no means fragile looking, though her build would let off that, as if her semi-sinister ways were seeping through her skin...
Her clothing is often light, to keep climbing and swimming easy. (Burmese Pythons are excellent swimmers and climbers, often found in or near water and sometimes in trees.)

Spoiler: hello 

Spoiler: Halfling Appearance 

Mallesti HATES using this form. She only uses it to scare humans, which is not in her nature. She has not used this form for hundreds of years, as it ruins her allure. She is about ten feet tall, her "tail" around 12 feet behind her.

Spoiler: RAAAA 

'Cept she's a python, o' course. Not a rattle snake.

Power: Smell. As a snake, her smell is her natural ability to turn to. She can smell every hormone change in your body, up close. She can track something through miles of forest. She uses every last bit of this ability to it's full advantage, her instincts playing to every opportunity. The ability to take in the scent of your hormones, and thereby emotions, make it easier for her to manipulate and control you.

Weapon: N/A

"Fuck off."

[Preach]

Name: Ute (please note the ‘e’ is not silent)

Age: 4,642

Type of God: Mute Swan (Cygnus olor)

Animal appearance: Mute swans are normally large, with a wingspans of about 5 feet. Being a goddess, Ute is nearly triple that size when in animal form, her wingspan reaches about 20 feet in length. She weighs a whopping 47 lbs, which is a lot for a bird, and is about 15 feet tall when standing, from beak to feet. She’s pretty huge, to say the least, and it’s quite a sight to see her in flight.

As if her size wasn’t enough to set her apart from normal swans, her feathers have a silvery sheen to them, as if she had always just come out of the water. Furthermore, the insides of her wings , instead of being white, are a silvery-grey, though this is only really visible when she’s flying.

Spoiler: Picture 

Human Appearance: Her human appearance echoes her animal appearance. Ute's eyes are dark grey and heavy lidded, and are typically lined with dark eye-shadow and kohl, and her lips always have a reddish-orange tinge, like her beak. Her skin, as is expected, is very white, with no blemishes or freckles. Her hair and eyebrows are platinum blonde, her hair falls below her waist when unbound, though she keeps it in a tight braid to keep it out of the way. She is fond of jewellery and embellishments, her wardrobe consists almost entirely of white or silver embroidered robes. She stands at a willowy 5’9.

Spoiler: Picture 

Pretty much this, except for differences in skin tone and hair colour:

Hybrid Appearance: Doesn’t take this form often. Ute retains a relatively humanoid form, but grow to be 10 feet tall, is covered in feathers, and her arms become wings. For a better visual reference, she looks a lot like a harpy. Her bones also become hollow, allowing her to fly like in her animal form. Ute does not often go into this form, it only happens when she loses control when in her human form. This is most often caused by extreme anger.

Power: Strength. Exactly what it sounds like. She will crush you.

Weapon: Straight-up fists when in human form, beak and wings when in animal form

PS: Fuck off

[Wintersend]

I'm sure there is something wrong, so let me know and i will fix it.

Name: Aryin (Erin)
Age: 5256

Type of God: Gyrfalcon or Gerfalcon (Falco rusticolus)

Animal Appearance:The Gyrfalcon, the largest of the falcon family. The Gyrfalcon has a body size of roughly 20-25 inches. a wingspan of 4 to 4 1/2 feet and weighs 2 to 4 1/2 pounds. However, Aryin being a goddess everything nearly triples. Make her body size a massive (for a falcon) 75 inches, her wingspan nearly reaching 13 feet and her weight 12 1/2 pounds.

As if her size didn't tell you she was no normal falcon. Her feathers seem to have a pure and vibrant white, unmarked by dirt or shadow. Her eyes are a darker stormy gray in falcon form, and seem to have great power contained withing them.

Spoiler: Gyrfaclon 

[/Hide]

Human Appearance: Her human appearance resembles that of her animals appearance. Her eyes are a startling stormy gray with dark eyeshadow framing her eyes. Her lips a soft cream color. Her skin is an uncanny pale clear of any freckles or blemishes, closely resembling the feathers in her animal appearance. Upon her head rests a circlet that keeps her hair from her face, with a dark onyx gem centered between her eyes upon the circlet. Her hair stretches down to her mid-back with a single falcons feather centered on a single braid down her back. Her clothing often consists of white or cream dresses that appear to be exceptionally clear of any stain or inpurity.

She stands at roughly 5ft 4in tall, and looks fragile. But, as she is a goddess, she has strength in her human form beyond that of a normal mortals. If her strength fails she always has her more intimate qualities that lay dormant most of the time within her, but when brought out, she becomes a seductress.

Spoiler: Aryin 

(just ignore the hairstyle)

[/Hide]


Power: Aryin has command over the power of force. Emitting a blast of sound capable of toppling walls, or blasting them to shred, when used in full strength. In human form, her abilities are limited to merely shattering windows and busting the ear drums of the humans effectively rendering them disoriented and deaf. In falcon form, her abilities are near limitless. Her screech is said to topple buildings leagues away from her.

Spoiler: Weapon 

Two of them
