Plot
In mythology shape shifting is the ability of a being or creature to completely transform its physical form or shape.The city of Imsu has long since been a safe haven for many creatures, any are welcome but most are not human. It is made up of many boats, floating homes and wooden walk ways tied together and is situated in the foggy water ways of vietnam. Our village is not usually anchored, unless there is a storm coming or there has been a sickness outbreak on land. Many of the people here survive on a diet of fish, crustaceans and any edible plants or herbs that are found on weekly trips to the small, jungle-like surrounding islands, usually only reached by rowboat. For centuries, creatures of all shapes and sizes have made their homes here, taking on different responsibilities from fishing to handy work and fixing rooves. We are a generally harmonious bunch, usually without a threat from the humans inhabiting other islands. Our life is sweet and simple, to be enjoyed together. In this city we all have claws, paws, hooves, horn, scales, slim, tails! It doesn't matter what you are, just matters what you believe in!

9afbd4588e00e5e094dbb6a5e7f4af5b.jpg

Nickname: Paise
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Species: Faun
Personality: Paisely is a quiet, kind faun. And unlike other fauns, she is very shy and caring. She is a sweet girl, and likes to make people happy. Paisely can be sort of out-going sometimes, but nevertheless, she is a cute, sweet person. She is very bubbly, and happy when she wants to be.
Likes: Paisely likes sunny days. She also likes when everybody is happy, and if nobody is happy she starts to be depressed.
Dislikes: Paisely dislikes fish, even though the relationship between the houses and the ocean are very close. She doesn't like the smell of fish, either, or the smell of smoke.
Fears: Paisely is afraid of losing people that are close to her, and the respect of her town mates.
Skills: Being a faun, it is easy for Paisely to keep warm during cold days. She is also really good at climbing mountains (mountain goat! XD) and fighting.. if there ever comes a time in need.
History:
Paisely grew up in a village of humans. The humans accepted her until she was about 6.. Then, they realized that she was 'unusual'. The town had a debate about her staying, leaving.. or being killed. Some wanted to keep her, to treat her like one of them, or to keep her for slavery. Others wanted to drive her out. Some protested that she was to young to be driven out, and would dye without guidance anyway. Some wanted to kill her for this reason. In the end, she was just driven out. Paisely, then, soon became the founder of Isum City.


Lex Nico
Nightcrawler-Stalking-63673.gif

Nickname: None
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Species: Demon
Personality: Lex is a bubbly, happy guy that loves to be around people. He is a light sleeper, so he is very lazy because he is always tired.. but there isn't a time where he isn't happy.
Likes: Lex likes when he finally gets a good nights rest, because he is such a light sleeper, he usually doesn't get much sleep.
Dislikes: Lex dislikes when nobody is happy because he is a happy person, and it makes him depressed when people are sad.
Fears: Lex doesn't really have fears, since he is demon XD.
Skills: Lex has a lot of skills, being a demon XD, but he doesn't have everything. He has super speed, and invisibility. He can rip through peoples' minds like quick sand, but he can't control them.
History: Lex doesn't remember much of his history being gruesome or exciting. Every since he spawned into a little demon child, he ran around his hometown being a little boy. He blended in with the people, even though he was blue and had a tail. The people actually appreciated him, and cared for him until one day he saw his village people burn a witch because she was 'different'. What if they burnt him because he grew up to be 'different', he had thought to himself. So he left.. and found Isum City.


Harmony Grat

Nickname: Harm
Age: 8
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Species: Were-cat/furry
Personality: Harmony is a common little 8-year old. Loves to cause mischief, but is also shy. She likes to cling to [specified when more characters form] and relies on [them] to answer for her. Otherwise clinging to [that person] she runs around stealing keys from her fellow adult friends, hiding them until they realize there missing. Little things that make up a clever, mischievous character.
Likes: Harmony likes fish [XD] and enjoys the smell of the ocean, not including swimming. Her favor season is autumn, and she enjoys playing in the leaves.
Dislikes: She dislikes swimming, but likes the feeling of rain of her whiskers. She dislikes fruit, but will eat it if needed.
Fears: Harmony is afraid of tsnames, which happen frequently as they live on the water, and has a fright of the village coming down as with her friends and family when one hits. Other than natural disasters, or monsters an 8 year old hasn't much else to be frightened about.​
 
Hey hey hey! I'm here! :bouncy:

berantas-korupsi.regular.png

Nickname: Hachie
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Species: Shapeshifter
Personality: Hachiro is a very crude, violent, arrogant, and aggressive person. He has a superiority complex and wants to be first and the best at everything. He doesn't like when people look down on him, as if they were superior to him; thus, it diminishes his already short fuse. Hachiro is also immensely prideful, as he hates the idea of others either helping him or him having to rely on others to assist him in battle. Because of his pride, he refuses to work together with others claiming he can do whatever he's assigned on his own. Despite all of this, he's shown a soft spot to people of whom he admires or has respect for.
Likes: Hachiro likes spicy food, mountain climbing, and battling others.
Dislikes: Hachiro hates being looked down on, being beaten, and asking for help.
Fears: Hachiro is afraid of always being beaten.
Skills: He's an extremely skilled fighter and is also very good at finding a way out of problems, despite being problematic himself.
History: Hachiro was living a normal life until he hit age 4. That's when his power started to manifest. At first, he kept it to himself, but then decided to show it to his friends. All of them were in awe at this, except for one, who wanted the power for his own. Hachiro told them all to keep it a secret, but the one child told the lady who ran their preschool. Over time, despite Hachiro's begging for her to keep the secret, his parents found out. Hachiro overheard that they were thinking of sending him away so he could be experimented on, and he didn't like the sound of that. So he ran away at the age of 5, hoping to find somewhere where he could be accepted. He slowly lost trust in most people until he finally found somewhere he thought might work. Sadly, the town rejected him as well, and he was out looking for a home again. He tried multiple towns before finally coming on the brink of giving up. He was now 15, and that's when he stumbled across Imsu City.
Other: Hachiro transforms into a wolf.

rampung.regular.png

Nickname: Yu
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual
Species: Vampire
Personality: Yuki is kind and upbeat in spite of the harsh events in his childhood. He is able to keep smiling and be happy. He always thinks of others, and is constantly looking out for them. He is cheerful, feisty, and friendly. He is a little violent, yet constantly takes charge and feels responsible for everything. He typically maintains a carefree and happy persona in front of everyone to make sure that they still have hope.
Likes: Yuki likes protecting everyone, his friends, and making sure everyone is living in harmony.
Dislikes: He hates chaos, uncooperative people, and being teased.
Fears: Yuki is constantly afraid that he can't make everyone happy.
Skills: Since it's pretty much all he does, he's good at making people happy and making people think he is, too.
History: Yuki was abused from the start for being a vampire. His parents constantly would call him things such as "demon child" and "the end of the world". Despite all of this, Yuki would constantly attempt to make his parents love him by rising to the top of his class. Even through this, his parents still ignored him and continued his harsh lifestyle. At the mere age of 8, his parents threw him out of a car and onto the street. Little did they know that he survived and was taken in by an orphanage. Even though he thought that this could be his new home, he realized that the people were secretly experimenting on him, so he ran away at the age of 12. He lived on the streets of a nearby town for a while before, once again, being taken in by an orphanage. He stayed there until he was 15, when he realized he would never be adopted. He ran away, and swore to himself he'd only live off of animal blood instead of human blood, in hopes to possibly maintain a human state. He then stumbled upon Imsu City at the age of 16.

Nickname: Mitsu
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
Species: Neko (Half-cat)
Personality: Mitsuko is a kind-hearted girl with a strong sense of right and wrong. She is also characterized by a deep loyalty to those she trusts and a tendency to express her emotions, and is also very brave with a tendency to put her life on the line for others' safety. She is also very partial to Harmony, and constantly looks out for her.
Likes: Mitsuko like martial arts, caring for others, fish, and having genuine fun.
Dislikes: She hates people who won't listen to her, people who don't understand the importance of living, and people who hold her back.
Fears: Mitsuko is always afraid that once she dies, everything will become chaotic.
Skills: She's extremely skilled at making people feel better and at catching fish.
History: Mitsuko lived a typical life with a rich family. Her family owned a hospital, and expected their only child, Mitsuko, to take over once she was of age. She was heavily against this idea, but didn't tell her parents. At the age of 16, she noticed something. She had grown a pink tail and had brown ears the same color as her hair! In an attempt to hide this, she constantly would wear her hair in such a fashion to hide her ears, and would tuck her tail into her shirt. Eventually, she came to embrace this new form of hers, and decided to flee home for this reason and to avoid taking over the family business. At this time, she was 19, and stumbled across Imsu City.​
 
(Accepted! Just remember on Hachiro, to not have him cause to much drama with his hot head.)

Miyu is a kind, optimistic individual. You can always count on her to lend a hand or cheer you up. She's very intelligent and always has her gears turning in her mind. Despite how friendly she is, she is pretty reserved and shy. She'd rather for someone to talk to her first than her doing so. She does open up fairly fast, though. Miyu is quite stubborn at times, but it's usually about good things. She is slow to anger and is a calm individual. To her loved ones, she can be pretty clingy and affectionate.

Miyu Rivers was born to a male sheep and female human in Imsu City. Unfortunately, her birth took away her mother's life before she even got to know her. She looked quite human from birth to age five, which is when her skills began to develop and her horns, too. It's been just her father and her and she likes to help around the house as much as she can. She wants to travel the rest of the world when she gets older, but, for now, she'll stick in Imsu City.​

I might join. Just making this post to remind myself to come back later.

Although while I'm here, I feel I should mention that there are a lot of broken image links in the "Ismu City" tab. o.o @LadyNeko
