Rise of the Apes
We are Apes.
Everything from makeup to medicine, a lot of human products are first tested on animals. Every once in awhile, some scientist in some laboratory has an idea that is... questionable, but hey, boundaries need to be pushed for advancements to be made, right? Besides, they're just animals. Right?
A company has been working to develop a cure for brain disorders for a decade, and finally, they've had a breakthrough; approval to begin testing on chimpanzees. The idea is a medication that allows the brain to create its own cells and repair itself, and the drug is promising. If intelligence is increased in the Apes that are treated with the drug with little to no negative side effects, its possible to begin testing on human subjects... If this plan doesn't backfire, of course. I mean, what risks could there possibly be in increasing the intelligence of animals that are three to five times stronger than a human, with a naturally aggressive nature? Lack of intelligence paired with a violent nature is most often regarded as a dangerous combination, but what of intelligence with violence? What about intelligent, powerful apes who have every right to hate and resent the humans who mistreat them? What will they be capable of?
Apes will rise.
If it wasn't obvious, the idea is based on Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) with a few minor tweaks. For those of you who haven't seen the movie and want to, I'll do my best not to spoil anything; I'm going to stick to the plot of the roleplay, not the movie, but there's bound to be some spoilers.
Essentially, our characters will be Apes that live in a laboratory that has been testing the intelligence enhancing drug on them. Some of our Apes may have been treated poorly in the past, some might have been beloved family pets who grew too big and too dangerous to keep, some might be fresh from the jungle with no knowledge of humans; what they'll all have in common is human like intelligence that can either be used as a weapon, or as a peaceful tool. What they want is to escape and live in freedom. Will they appoint a leader, or will it be anarchy? Will they use brute force to break free, or will they carefully plan their escape? Will they take revenge on the humans responsible, or will they spare them? Will some try to protect the humans from the wrath of the more aggressive Apes? Will the Apes unite, will they turn on each other, or will it be every Ape for themselves? Its completely up to our characters.
Some ground rules about the Apes:
-Species can be either Common Chimpanzees or Bonobos.
-They will speak to each other in crude English at best if they can speak, no perfect grammar and no big words.
-They can know American Sign Language if you want them to.
-Some level of conflict between Apes will make the plot more interesting and realistic; its fine for the Apes to have some enemies if it turns out that way, they're bound to not all get along and agree about everything.
-Its alright for some Apes to die, as long as the people playing them are okay with that.
-There will be enough NPC Apes to bring the total number to ten. Feel free to assign names to them if your posts call for it, but everybody has to be consistent with their names after they're named.
Ground rules about the roleplay itself:
-You can use whatever form of a character biography that you're most comfortable with.
-At least one paragraph per reply is appreciated, but do your best while still having fun!
-Be patient in waiting for replies~ People get busy and cant always reply every day.
-Wait until all roleplayers with characters that are relevant to the situation have replied before replying again with your character, unless they have gone at least five days without replying and the roleplay is unable to move forward because of it. We don't want to leave anybody behind~
-If you can no longer participate for any reason, let me know! No hard feelings, but I'd like to know so that we know that its alright to move on without waiting on your character, or have them get killed or lost to remove them from the roleplay.
-No godmodding, powerplaying, or overpowered characters.
Confirmed Characters:
-CozyCoz as "Joao" and "Cozy"
-Dipper as "Abtik"
-Polystical as "Lexi" and "Dione"
NPC Characters:
