View Full Version : A Fur's Life

Hello, Everyone. As a furry, I love playing characters that really have dramatic experiences. I put this RP here, because it seemed a better location for it that Fantasy. Here is the Premise.

After a strange fluctuation of energy emanating from the deepest parts of space, approximately 35% of Earth's population were transformed into anthropomorphic animals, maintaining 100% of their knowledge and personality, but gaining elements of animalistic traits, like fur, tails, muzzles, relocated ears, and in some, purrs and roars. All are able to communicate with humans, but unfortunately, there are those humans who consider them to be demons. It is assumed all furs are bi-pedal.

This story is about the lives of several young furs, all who live in the town of Garrett, IN. and the experiences the have post-Anomaly.

Species List

Feline
Any Housecat Variety
Bobcat
Any Large Cat

Canine/Lupine/Vulpine
Domesticated Breeds
African Wild Dogs
Hyenas
Any Fox
Any Wolf

Other
Otters
Bears
Horses
Bovine

Note:These are the only species that can be utilized. Certain Mutations, such as wings or other things are allowed, so long as the mutation does not detract from the overall appearance.


Character Sheet Format

Character Name: Self-Explanatory
Gender: Male/Female
Age: Again, Self-Explanatory
Species: Use any Furred Species from the list or any hybrid of any two species, or use Human.
General Info: Please use this field to give relevant info on your character's back-story and personality.

Now, I shall issue my own character sheet
Character Name: Michael
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Species: Cat, with a strange mutation giving him wings
General Info: After the Anomaly, Michael was alone, afraid of the way humans would treat him, since his wings were wide and strong enough to allow flight. After many months he left his home and traveled to Garrett, IN to make a new life. He is quiet and very polite. His smile is gentle. He carries a sword in a sheath and really hopes he never has to use it.

It looks interesting and fun. Did you do an activity check? Will be figuring out profile when I get home.

If you have ideas as to what would go well in the story, feel free to post them. Looking forward to having your ideas and your character sheets.

might I ask if things such as scalies welcome? thinking of something snake like. legs can easily be put in as stated in your first post.

also in the morning, I am going to try and get a few people in on this. but can't make any guarentees on it either.

Aragon Draco
12-22-2010, 03:26 AM
I'd like, if possible to limit Scalies, to the legged variety, instead of the Snakish variety. I refer to the "lizards" of the world. Thanks for your interest.

Aragon.

Ohh, yea Spirits will be all over the reptiles (or maybe avians if you let him, though i haven't finished reading yet.)

As for me i prefer foxes or cats... are strange colors (i'm thinking black with a blood red color) welcome?

Aragon Draco
12-22-2010, 04:46 AM
The strange colors should be as each character would dye his or her fur. Similar to what happens with humans now.

Hmmmm, why not? I just have one question, how long after this "Anomaly" is this supposed to take place?

GraftRaven
12-22-2010, 05:31 AM
*character grenade explodes, causing character to fly out and stick to the monitor*

Character Name: Kyle 'splicer' Richards (usually referred to as splicer)

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Species: Fox (of the black variety)

General Info: Kyle (who is preferentially referred to by his gaming handle splicer) found himself in a rather odd place after the the Anomaly, as he was one of the ones who was affected. He eventually made his way to Garrett as he heard that several others had also moved there. Splicer is rather odd as a person, perhaps because of the excessive amount of gaming and internet surfing he does, or perhaps because of his odd tastes. Whatever the reason he doesn't seem to be fazed by being turned into an anthropomorphic fox.

Appearance: http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/d09c1e738d3ef742e39eaba05aaee18c494b433c09ae798e56 253b41314f113c6g.jpg

Kyle is roughly 5'11" with an athletically thin build, black fur and shoulder length hair. He has a short muzzle along with blazing yellow eyes. He dyes the fur on the tips of his ears, hair, tail, and fingers a blood red color and tries to keep the fur in order as best he can, but some days it can look rather messy... particularly after staying up for a late-night gaming spree. He is also never seen without his pair of Astro A40s (http://www.lowyat.net/v2/images/stories/nigel/a402%20(580x435).jpg), unless you catch him when he's sleeping or just out of the shower or something.

can you tell by the intro that i'm a bit tired?

Character Name: Jacob Hawkins
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Species: Maned Wolf
General Info: Jacob is a born native of Garrett, and was the only person in his own life to change when the Anomaly occurred. While he wasn't afraid or resentful of the change, it was rather lonely to be the only one he knew of who'd changed. So right after his 18th birthday, Jacod made plans to move across town where more people like him lived. He's still searching in the neighborhood and being only 18 he isn't quite as ready fr the world as he thought, but is determained to make it on his own.

(Two things, well three. 1.) I think I have two stalkers now. 2.) Splicer is right. I tend to always go for reptiles or avians. (hence below) 3.) I was half expecting Krath to come by when I saw splicer. But it was surprising.)

Character Name: Amy Jefferson

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Species: Strong Nile crocodile characteristics with a patch of bright blue tail feathers at the tail base.

Description: (to be added via intro post)

Bio: (pre anomaly to post anomaly) While once a tommy boy in that in high school, she did football for two years and wrestling for a year. She had one lucky group. A shame how they were bashed for being beaten by a girl. And for a hundred thirty pounds, it was decent. and then it happened. The event that changed her. She never realized just how great her skin was until she was covered in scales. Grew to be 5'8'', and spiked up to a hundred fifty four. Which changed a lot. first, her former group got lucky and had nice soft fur, and flexibility. She lost some with her tail, and increased mass.

She was actually offered to try lacross, yet another sport to go bring up why she is up for a mens sport. But found that she is really into working out and swimming now she has a body for it. Running, not so much anymore until she was used to it again.

Attitude towards anomaly: Great because she doesn't have to worry about people looking at her breasts while talking to them thanks to her nile side. Nor ever go into a macys again for her life. Not like she needed any more clothes. A week of clothes was enough as it was.
However, a crocodile? Why would she be one of those? Now she has the steriotype of dry skin and eating humans on her head. She didn't even like reptiles. Now she is one that what, spins under water and lounges on her belly all day long? She couldn't even enjoy pizza anymore. Her mouth could hold entire slices with ease, and near remove her hand in the process.

Again, another plus least people won't say 'bite me' to her. she did as a human, and now... well it was their idea. She couldn't figure out the long feathers. for her life. As if she had some second tail within hers. Even able to fold and fan it if she wanted, as well as move the feathers around. At least she liked her colors.

the hardest part. finding clothes that fit. Thats it.

Personality: (will be put in a bit later)

(best of both worlds. though hope this is alright. and yes crocodiles can be anthros easily.)

Sir Hatless, I assume at least a year to a year and a half has passed, post-Anomaly.
Spirits breath, you're in.

(Two things, well three. 1.) I think I have two stalkers now. 2.) Splicer is right. I tend to always go for reptiles or avians. (hence below) 3.) I was half expecting Krath to come by when I saw splicer. But it was surprising.)

Well, allow me to offer this as a rebuttal: 1.) I always just seem to run into you... everywhere. 2.) thanks for your agreement. 3.) No, Krath is only half reptile, this is a much older character... thoroughly based off of me.

spirits breath
12-22-2010, 05:25 PM
makes sense. and yeah, krath would have ended up like that creepy teacher who you somehow meet up at the mall, bowling alley, sports games. that stuff. the most awquard thing to happen. And now I can call him furry bum as a joke :) also slicer. you know reptiles and avians are my weakness. I only once played a mixture of the two, and a panther/bat thing. (you know. I should go back and make a database of characters of mine. I never reuse them.)

I still say you stalk me, but hey. we have similar tastes. (I can't get the candy can straw to work in hot chocolate for the love of peppermint and chocolate.)

If I might ask, should we expect to get a few shock collars, or thrown in exhibit. maybe a reservation type of ordeal? If some humans are seeing us as mutants, honestly.. the humans would pull out a gun and go nuts. While scientists would be like 'hey now we can try and find the cure for cancer. Government grant please!"

my mind is kind of going between several things, so you can completly disregard the above. and also assuming our characters know each other in some way. or get to know each other. (not sure how you are starting this off.) I left a spot in Amy's bio which could be filled by preferably a male to have the past there already.

Aragon Draco
12-22-2010, 07:08 PM
As to human reaction, there is a reason why Michael carries a sword. He's an expert with it too.

Some humans, with a penchant for violence, might try shock collars, and might try other crap, but that will be rare.

Also, I intend to post IC tonight, but will still accept sheets for a few days.

TheBaron
12-22-2010, 07:21 PM
Permissibly of a Avian I would like to make one if possible.

Aragon Draco
12-22-2010, 07:33 PM
Avians are difficult. They are related to Reptilians, and some consider them very similar, so I will say that only the Large breeds are allowed.

TheBaron
12-22-2010, 07:44 PM
SO big bird no like crows or ravens

Aragon Draco
12-22-2010, 07:46 PM
Hawks, Eagles, Vultures, and Raptors, preferred. If it is a Raven-hybrid, that would work.

GraftRaven
12-22-2010, 07:47 PM
EDIT: got your reply before me Aragon, but i think my point is still valid.

like herons or ostriches... i'd love to see an ostrich anthro, though it would prolly be really awkward looking.

TheBaron
12-22-2010, 07:50 PM
SO maybe a Albatross Raven combo

Aragon Draco
12-22-2010, 07:53 PM
Those class as large birds, Splicer.

TheBaron
12-22-2010, 08:00 PM
So are my birds okay

GraftRaven
12-22-2010, 08:12 PM
Those class as large birds, Splicer.

that was kinda my point, and i'll be around for the opening of the IC as long as you're close to EST (and probably if you're not too).

Aragon Draco
12-22-2010, 08:20 PM
Baron, that would be acceptable.

Aragon Draco
12-22-2010, 08:24 PM
Probably have IC up around 9 or 10 CST

TheBaron
12-22-2010, 08:42 PM
Character Name: Jacob Barfeild
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Species: Raven/Albatross Combo
General Info: Jacob keeps his history a secret for that people will try and hunt his distressed family down. He ran away from them to protect them. He misses them on occasion. He is all in all a quiet and musical person. He luckily enough still has the manual dexterity to plan instruments which is really his only passion.

It would also be nice to have at least one more female character.

Glad to see you got a lot of interest on your first RP here :) Congrats!

spirits breath
12-23-2010, 01:51 AM
hmm... I can play a human character. (gasp) not sure of the 'death to all furries' thing. have to say, I feel bad for you guys since there would be a bit of petting of the fur, and would end up passing out on your back. a warm pillow.

and to say, most of the people interested in this would go the furry side of the fence.

hold up. got a secondary character to make. human this time. I can build to suit. (was thinking. at first, she is cool with it. and then would grow to be annoyed with being the outcast. perhaps could be one to actually try to kill someone.)

so here is a question. do furries go to the doctor, or vetrinarian? I mean they wouldn't have specialists on furries yet.

GraftRaven
12-23-2010, 02:12 AM
well, yea. the same thing happened in this (http://s11.zetaboards.com/Roleplay_Adventures/topic/7183683/1/) old RP (oh, memories).... you could do a character like Ivy, that would kinda be cool.

Aragon Draco
12-23-2010, 02:59 AM
Heh. Good question. Let's say they go to the doctor, but those doctors have decided to work on behalf of furries, themselves being furries.

spirits breath
12-23-2010, 03:17 AM
I remember that. was a fun rp. think that started off the avian craze. actually played ivy a lot. (how dare you bring in the character that my character was madly in love with but scared to say he loved her.)
maybe. but not sure. anyways I will be making her tomorrow.

(man, that was a nice rp. went on for a long time, and I was in at the start. I loved it.) also, now that i had this page open for an hour, I will get to the IC later tomorrow)

Aragon Draco
12-23-2010, 03:20 AM
Well, folks, my mind has been fried, trying to come up with a decent IC intro post. So, I'll do it tomorrow, when I can think.

GraftRaven
12-23-2010, 04:58 AM
if its all the same to you i just set up my mom's new 32" LCD TV... i'm sucking up in the hopes that she'll relent and let me buy one for my room before the HHgregg $199 24" TV sale ends...

i wouldn't mind some interaction, then all of this might snowball and we'll all get involved xD

but nothing in particular that you HAVE to respond to... at least i don't think so.

@Spirits: wel, even button press combos need some interaction (unless you're playing God of War III and yu have one of the secret items)... what game were you thinking of i wonder?

TheBaron

first things, getting the posting part in the morning. and plicer god of war 3, with maybe 18 minutes total playtime combined of first two games is not enough for hard. or chaotic. was a dumb move, but even dumber when I still go on with no idea what I am doing.

gears of war 2 has ai with you for multiplayer. a great thing for those rage quitters, it fills it in and it keeps teams even. online ones are a step up from the normal hardest setting.

also on olympus, but not yet to hurcules. probly wont get to beating it for a long while. also since off topic anyways. feel free to add me Hryssar.

interaction is nice. though sara isn't going down without a pet! compulsive and has her personal bodyguard. had to throw in a dental pun and the smile pun in there.
