RP Info

[DA VINCI~]

SUB-SPECIES: There are two types of Shifters; the first is the type that is born a Shifter. The ones whom are born Shifters, (directly derived from Cysro's legacy) will inherit the traditional "Toxin-glands" that are used to curse others.
The other type of Shifters are the ones whom become cursed. They do not have the "Toxin-glands" and therefor can not curse others. However, if they mate with a Shifter, there is a 50% that they might turn into one, and also reproduce a Shifter. However, there is also a percentage that the non-Shifter will die.

Expectations: You can post in first person or third person, it doesn't really matter. Pressuring others into posting is not tolerated, because Real Life is honestly more important, and if they can't find the time to reply, than just give them a while longer. You get 3 weeks without posting in a thread, before the admin decides either if your character is taken out of the thread, or is to be temporarily played by another member until you get back. The LEAST amount of words per-post are 150 words. Seriously... that's basically a paragraph.

To Be Killed: If you're a Shifter, either you are killed by Silver, bloodloss, death by another Shifter, or you die yourself out of old-age / suicide / starvation & dehydration. You heal faster than others, and you can last up to 1 week without food, before your body begins to feed off your muscles and brain.
If you are a Wolf, you... Can be killed by anything, really. (Other wolves, bullets, carriages, etc. It's a pretty dangerous life... You sure you up to it?)
If you are a Human, you can once again, be killed by mostly anything. (Infection, starvation & dehydration, weapons, war, other humans, etc.) Sometimes you can even be killed when being cursed!

Shifters: Being a Shifter isn't like being a werewolf (some big hairy man, lol). You are a Human that can turn into a Wolf, or vise-versa. When you are bitten, you are either a human first, or a wolf first, whom was bitten and morphed into a Shifter. When you morph into a Human, your greater-speed and stuff remain.
Some shifters may choose to live in the Native fashion; living off the woods and barely interacting with the civilationaries.
Most shifters will try to blend into crowds and have jobs and common homes and apartments.
By the local shifter alliance, no one is allowed to reveal their identity as one unless cursing another. If that alliance is broken, other shifters will come after and kill you. That is... if the humans haven't first.

Abilities:[/color] Just so you know, the abilities Shifters have are not super-powers! All they have is the speed and sense of smell of a wolf. Nothing else. We aren't handsome, shiny rock-hard things that are near indestructible. That would just be God-Modding. (Having God-like powers and being near impossible to kill) Remember dudes, we're in Cysro, not in Twilight. (Love the book, but seriously)

Human Life: If you are a NORMAL human, than you will need to work somewhere for money / food. Most Humans are afraid of getting infected, and are wary about animals. The majority of Humans will have a dislike for Wolves, and most animals in general, and will often hunt. Humans are social, usually, and are often seeking love, friends and family, but ALL this, depends on your character.

Shifter's Life: As a Shifter, you are allergic to Silver, and so the farmer's bullet is a critical threat. Luckily, though, Cysro is a land that takes place in a time where Silver is uncommon. Human form will be your most usual form, because your goal is to blend in as much as possible. Usually, you morph into a wolf only to hunt, or when your alone. In wolf form, you are large, and about 2 times the size of an average wolf. Shifters are forced into their wolf form on a full-moon, and transformation is painful at first, but once you get the hang of it, you can transform whenever you please, and quick.

Wolf Life: If you're a NORMAL wolf, then you chose a pretty damn hard life! You're being hunted, so watch every step you take, for it may lead you to a trap. Your fur is wanted, and will fetch a pretty penny in the marketing business. You may be caught and forced into slavery of work for the humans.

Enemies: The Shifters and Wolves are usually either allies or simply tolerate each-other. Shifters can fall in love with humans, and humans CAN have Wolves as pets. Sometimes, Shifters who hate their curse blame it on the Wolves and may try to trick the Wolves into facing certain death. Any species will fight each-other for a mate / land / food.

Owning a Farm:[/color] If you'd like to have one of the farms already created, just make your character share the same last name as the family owning the farm. If you'd like to create your own farm for your character, put it in the "Other" section of your application form. There, just note that your character wants a farm, you need to include this in the "Other":
Name of farm, (must have your character's last name somewhere),
Description. (You've got to have one of these for your farm.)
Picture (optional)

Mating: Before you mate, you must have the two characters RP with each other AT LEAST for 3 posts before it gets heated, lol. You must be in the same forms when you mate. Once pregnant, the female might accept some Shifter-genes and will grow noticeably either stronger, larger, faster or will develop a craving for meat, (lol). Sometimes, however, the Shifter's genes will not pass into the child, and the baby will take after as either their normal parent. Simple math, now go have fun, you crazy kids. (;
