|The Story|

This is a world, where the only law is survival. Where the strong will thrive and grow stronger, and the weak will wither and die. Where humanity are not just the predators, but also the prey. Where monsters are not just fairy tales in the books of children, or legends from stories all but forgotten. Where Man and beast, are forever at odds. This is the world, of Zanathine. It its a world that is forever at odds with itself, as both man and beast are in a constant state of unrest with not just each other, but their own kind as well. Humans often look at the lesser class of other sectors with great displeasure and and hatred, seeing them as nothing more as commoners or even slaves to do their bidding. But at the same time, are fearful of them as there's a chance they could become a monster at any given time. Those who are not as fortunate to have been born unto wealth see the upper classes as royals, but are also fear them for their unrest cruelty and vicious mockery of them. The monsters, are not much better off. Those who still hold a bit of their humanity left resent human kind for turning their backs on them, rather than help them cure or at the very least cope with their newly given forms, they hate the upper class and will do anything to see them in shambles. On the other hand, those monsters who no longer have any sense of them selves are all but feared by all, with the exception of A few monsters who either hunt them for their won survival or to put them out of their misery for the sake of mercy.

The first monster appeared about 400 years ago, in a desolate backwater town within the uncommon sector. Grotesque and misshapen, they were bullied out of their own home and forced to live their lives in the forsaken sector. As time went on, more and more monsters sprung up. Though the reasons behind it all have been varied and unknown, it seems that the means to become a monster are seemingly random yet also circumstantial. Some humans have even banished other people out of paranoid suspicion that they too might be monsters or even on the verge of becoming one. Monsters them selves come in a variety of forms, from gelatinous masses to flying demons , there's little to no logic behind their coming into being. Though that didn't stop humans from their prejudice and harsh criticism. Centuries went by, and the appearances of monsters has not shown any signs of slowing down. Subjects of exterminating the monster threat became common place among human conversation, usually falling into debates of morality. Eventually it was decided by the Emperor that these "creatures" were a threat to the survival of mankind, and must be eliminated by any means necessary. And thus, he legalized the murder of any monster that dares set foot into the uncommon, common, or royal sectors. This is the time known as The Great War of the Monsters.

Needless to say, this caused a divide between not just humans and monsters, but between both of them themselves as well. Armies split into factions, groups defected to rebellions against higher/lower powers, and terrorist organizations took form during all the chaos. This is the would we live in now, a world where humans fight monsters, and both are in a constant struggle to survive. With only one question looming over all, who will be the victor in this war of monsters?

|Summary|

Hey all, I'm back again from a long internet sleep, time for a new RP I guess. The run down is your typical monster vs humans RP. It's a hybrid between scifi-and fantasy taking place some where in a modern/future. You have the option of playing as either a human or a monster, and you also get to have a say in where you stand in this war, or even if you are fighting in it at all. On the side, there's also the notion of the upper upper class oppressing the lower class due to differences in wealth, power, and of course the threat of monsters. Monsters (or at least a number of them) live in their own society, a class that is just below the lower humans due to being seen as outcasts and freaks. weather or not a winner is seen in this war or if peace is brought to fruition, is all up to you.

|The World of Zanathine|

Zanathine is Divided into five sectors, each of them with their own sets of rules, laws, leader's, ect. Some sectors have higher monster populations than others, and some have more humans. Some places in these sector's are relatively peaceful, while chaos rules over others. And some are so barren, so inhospitable, that only the hardiest of souls can survive there. Zanathine is a vast world, with only a single continent and smaller island archipelagos surrounding it. Though they matter not to those who live deeper inland, where the more "well off" people reside. The Further inland you go, the more humans you'll likely run into. Controversially , monsters typically reside the more you go towards the shores of Zanathine. The Uncommon sector, an area they usually houses communities that more often than not exclusive to either monsters or humans, though areas that house both are not unheard of. The Forsaken sector, where the poorest of the poor live and are often bullied by monsters and bandits. And the Barrons, where monsters run rampant and only the bravest (or most foolish) of humans dare set foot. Each of these sectors also has their own lore and background, and as mentioned before their own rules...

The Noble Sector

"God made beast to live under man, NOT beside them!"

~Edward Leonkight, The Emperor of Zanathine

The City life, is a life for me:

The Rich, and royals reside in the Nobel Sector, a land that is mostly city and towns, with little more than grassy noels and rolling hills to divide them (with exception of the occasional forest). Huge castles and mansions lord over the cities, with the streets flowing with business and people with the money to keep them funded. it is as they all say, "The Streets of Nobles, are but rivers of gold." The population is almost strictly human, and the residents here typically look down on those of the other sectors, seeing the humans who reside in the lesser sectors as just that, inferior. To them even people of The Common Sector are nothing more than their servants and are just filthy commoners. Other sectors see those who live here as snobbish brats who are undeserving of their position, and would sooner feed their first born to the wolves than lift a finger help out their fellow man regardless of circumstance. Although Monsters do reside here, they are very few in number, and are able to hide them selves well enough to look so much like a human that it's completely uncanny. Said monsters don't care much for humans, but other monsters are much of the same. However, should an uprising be possible, they would not hesitate to aid them so long as they gain something of value in return. There are six cities in the Noble Sector, Five of them are ruled by each of Five Royal Houses. The Sixth is the Capital of Zanathine, Manna. And This Sixth city is where the Emperor lives, who rules over all of Zanathine (though really only over the Noble and Common Sectors and half of The Uncommon Sector). A massive wall of rock and steel divides the Novel Sector from the others, with several entry ways allowing passage for those who have permission, or who have the money to bribe their way in.

The Emperor/Empress of Zanathine:

Zanathine's leadership, is an unusual one. When their emperor/empress dies, the throne goes to the next heir in line. But if their is no Heir to crown, then the great noble houses could a counsel to elect a new Emperor/Empress. Those who are chosen for Election are typically young and are of the primary branch of their respective families (though the latter is not always a definitive rule should any who are offered this honor decline, it is passed to someone else be they next in line or volunteer). There are Five Major Noble houses, House Dovana (Who's royal seal is of a great dragon), House Leonkight (Has Chimera for a seal), House Hyeadra (Has a Hydra for a seal), House Eagron (Has a Roc for a seal... That's a giant eagle for those of you who aren't savy with mythology), and House Giraphaan (has a Griffon as a seal). The five houses get alone well enough, though with tensions high with the threat of monsters ever prevalent, each house can't help but feel suspicious of the others from time to time. The Current sitting Emperor is of House Leonkight, and their Family has been in power ever since the monsters ever started showing up in this world.

The Royal Army:

Those who fight against the monsters are usually soldiers of the emperor's/empress's military. Though they typically tread no further than The Forsaken Sector, these brave men and women risk their lives to combat the threat of what the throne has proclaimed centuries ago... Monsters. Soldiers of this fine elite establishment must be tough, strong, fearless, and obedient in order for them to be drafted into the military. However, despite the fact they are meant to protect the people, that's not to say there aren't a few unsavory characters who take advantage of their power. And even though they act tough, they still dare not set foot into the monster den that is The Barrons, be it from orders or out of fear for their lives.

The Cult of Luluula:

There is Rumor, that there is a family of vampires hiding somewhere in the Noble Sector, though finding them has proven far more than just difficult. In addition, there are some secret followers of said family, and worships them more so than the throne itself, These people are known as The Cult of Luluula. Luluula, is said to be the maiden name of the first Vampire queen, though her existence is currently only built on speculation, rumor, and myth. These people hate all other kinds of monster, safe for other undead and vampires. Though weather or not said creatures share their respect in return is sadly, yet to been seen. Those who do worship the Luluula family do so by presenting an offering at an old shine somewhere within The Grey Woods, a forest in the eastern parts of the Nobel sector and is rumored to hold the house of the Luluula family. Offerings are usual in the form of a blood sacrifice, in the form of livestock and on some rare occasions... live humans. Needless to say the worship of Luluula is illegal in Zanathine, though that hasn't stopped people from its practices.

The Luluuna Vampires:

Needless to say, the legendary Luluula Vampires are very much real. Though they are not like your typical vampire, and merely allow to do what the Cult pleases and not get involved to protect the family. Though they CAN drink blood for nourishment, they need not solely do so to sustain them selves. They can survive in the same manner as humans do, by eating and drinking the same food and water. But many of the more senior members of the still drink human blood to retain the tradition of vampires, even though any blood will do (Except for the blood of reptiles, which is toxic to them). The Luluula Vampires care little for the humans of this world, but most agree that other monsters are just that... Much like the humans do.

Sunlight doesn't harm a vampire, so long as they are healthy and strong. But a weak and withering Vampire will indeed burn in the sunlight. Garlic cannot kill or poison a Vampire, unless it has been bathed in holy water. Holy Water is can be used to paralyze but not kill a vampire, to kill one one must use a weapon of holy silver... or through the traditional way of driving an oaken stake through their undead heart. And of course, fire is also a very deadly tool(debatable the most potent method of killing a vampire of Luluula) , as they are still undead.

The Common Sector

"The Only good monsters, are the ones that keep making us money"

~ Lauren Brava, leader of the Brava Syndicate

Industry is money, money is power, and power is good:

In The Common Sector, big name businesses are a common sight. Though no where NEAR as successful as those in the Noble Sector, business in the Common sector are well off enough to obey the laws the Emperor/Empress enacts. They don't particularly like those who live in The Noble Sector, but with the threat of monsters on the rage... Some protection is better than no protection. Many of them use their companies to supply the Royal Army, and sometimes the M.H.G. People here look down on those from the lesser sectors, just like the Royals of the Noble sector do. However, so long as they work for them and do their jobs they will tolerate them none the less. The Common Sector is twice the size of the Nobel Sector, but there are not as many towns and cities as you may think. Though they are numerous, Cities and towns are often separated with large expanses of meadows and forest, with a few hills and mountains doting the map. Monsters are more common in this sector, due to the lesser law enforcement they can hide them selves easier and with less effort... But they still need to be careful, as this sector also has the largest presence of monster hunters.

The Monster Hunter Guild:

Essentially a guild of bounty hunters and mercenaries, the Monster Hunter Guild (or M.H.G) pick up where the Royal Army slacks off. These men and woman are the true heroes of this world... If you are human. If you are a monster however, you best hope you don't have a price on your head. The M.H.G is not afraid to set foot in the Barrons, but will only do so if the situation demands it, or if a job requires it. there are no loose cannons here, safe for the independent hunters who have no affiliation to the guild. Despite the fact they have more gusto than your typical knight of the army, these people are not without their faults. They have a reputation of causing more harm than good on a hunt, on some rare occasions even letting the monster either get away or deliberately let it wreck much of towns and cities. So when ever a member of the M.G.H is around people are often weary of their presence, albeit with a side of reassurance knowing that if something does happen there's some one around to take care of it.

Independent Hunters:

Some monster hunters work on out side of the guild, preferring to live by their own rules when it comes to hunting beasts. They come in a variety of temperaments, but one thing remains consistent... They hate monsters enough to obey the law of the throne and deal with them accordingly.

The Brava Family:

Essentially what some may call "The Dark Guild" or "Gangsters", The Brava Family is one that shouldn't be trifled with. These people own 45% of the businesses run in Zanathaine's common realm (the most out of anyone in the sector), and even own a bit of property in the Nobel realm... but they mostly operate everywhere else out side the Noble Sector (unless there's a monster they are after there). Though they obey the some of the laws of the emperor, they typically bend the government to an extent that allows them to get away with virtually anything they want. Robbery, drug smuggling, and even murder. But 10 years ago, The head of the household passed away from cancer... and Lauren Brava, their 1st daughter, inherited the leadership of the family. She proposed new business opportunities, ones that they hold even to this day... They will be capturing monsters alive, and using them for their own personal gain. While some on the more problematic monsters (the ones with bounties) would be presented dead before the emperor/empress, the lesser known would know a much more horrible fate. The weak will be held in a secret auction and soled off as slaves, while the more powerful would be held in the underground monster fight ring to entertain people while the monster fights another, sometimes to the death. No one, not even the local or higher authorities have shown any interest in stopping them, so for now the Brava family runs the Common realm as if it was a puppet on strings.

Dwarves and Elves:

Although not technically monsters, as they have been around before they started appearing, The Elves and Dwarves of Zanathine were never seen as equal in the Common and Nobel Sectors. Instead they were always seen as commoners or servants, and were RARELY given any positions of power unless there was someone higher up the chain than they were. They are not the biggest fan of humans, but those who live in the Common Sector are terrified of monsters. While those who live in the lesser sectors have varying or mixed opinions on them. Elves are known for their pointed long ears, beautiful appeal, and their intelligence. Dwarves are known for their stout stature, Drunken pride (they have a higher resistance to alcohol than humans, and thus can drink more without passing out), and craftsmanship.

The Uncommon Sector

"If there can live a creature as great as The Lord of Monsters,
then maybe we CAN get along!"

~Alfreid Rex, Bartender.

A Strange Co-Existence :

Unlike the other Sectors, The Uncommon Sector has a more balanced mix of both monsters and humans. the inner border has a lager human population while the outer border has a larger monster one. In this sector, entire cities can be home to a full population of either of the two, but the most rare of which are home to both. Cities that are primarily owned by humans live close enough to the capital to still abide by the law of the emperor/empress, though news of what goes on more inland takes a while to reach them and vice-versa. While those further out from the human owned cities are not only either owned by monsters or live along side humans, but do so far enough out from the emperor's/empress's spear of influence to live by their own set of law's. Many humans here are terrified of monsters, but much of that is just propaganda spread by the upper sectors. Other humans here have come to respect monsters, and even call them friends. Monster's here are much of the same, though they don't HATE humans they can't say that those from the upper sectors are their favorite people. Towns that have humans and Monsters living side by side are not uncommon but they aren't exactly many of them at the moment, these towns use the barter system of trade rather than actual currency. This method seems to feed more people, and doesn't have to deal with the hassle of taxes. Much of this sector is wilderness.

Neutral Territory:

Because of the fact that the Uncommon sector divides Human and Monster Territory, The Uncommon sector doesn't seem to care about picking a side in the War. After all, this is the sector that seems to blur the lines of both the land of human and beast. Sadly though, them being neutral doesn't seem to be enough to set an example. Neither side seems to be interested in peace at the moment, and wants to see the other side either surrender or perish, both if at all possible.

The Witches' Forest:

Magic isn't exactly a new thing to this world, but it has become a bit of a lost art. The Witches of Zanathine are not only preservers of magic power, but seem to be naturally proficient with it. however do to the alien nature of magic, the study of the mystic arts is for the most part... A luxury, for lack of a better word. It's just as mysterious as monsters are, and it's been around for much longer! The Emperor had no choice but to make it so that only a select few can practice it, those being mages too weak to ever be a threat to the empire, the rest are to be and studied, and were forbidden from using their gifts outside the campus of where they were schooled. Those who did not comply were exiled, and said exiled founded a new power outside of the Emperor's sphere of influence. The Result would be an enchanted Redwood forest, named "The Witching Woods". The Inhabitants are primarily Humans and elves (Dwarves CAN use magic but it's super rare) and the population as you'd expect is mostly female. Only Recently were men allowed to live here, and that was when the New Queen of Witches took to the throne. it goes without saying that The Witching Woods are independent from the Empire, but they are still weary of the monster threat. Despite the fact that some of them live here too.

The Forsaken Sector

"What man likes to pretend to forget,
is that it was beast who came first in this world"

~Vincent Richt, The Third Werewolf (
Deceased)

Filthy Slums:

The Forsaken sector is where the poorest of humans live, as well as the most unfortunate of monsters. Here, towns struggle to even survive without devolving into the savage and primal behavior of most of the monsters in The Barrons do, in fact many humans are slaves to monster's here just because monsters are spiteful of them.. Humans here are HORRIFIED by monsters, living next door to the Barrons will do that to you. But due to a wide possiblity of circumstances, humans here cannot live anywhere else. Monster's HATE humans with a passion, and can only hope a monster force is tough enough to purge humans into extinction. Some have even been fool enough to brave The Barrons to seek out warriors and form a militia to oppose the Emperor. Those that do are either never heard from again or have found something... More. The Forsaken Sector is mostly wilderness with biomes of all kinds that connect it to the Barrons. From dense wooded forests, to thick lush Jungles, to harsh desolate wastelands, and hot baking deserts just to name a few.

Bandit Camps:

Due to a lack of order, the Forsaken sector is one of the most lawless places on the planet. Because of this, thieves and raiders have called this sector home. These nearly barbaric tribes can be a mix of any species, be it human or monster. They don't care, so long as everyone get's a share of the spoils and carries their own weight then they'd let anyone join them in their raids. These bandit tribes are even willing to take on the likes of both the Uncommon and even the Common Sector when it comes to raiding cities. Be warned, for these savages will even risk entering The Barrons to keep their loot safe from those fool enough to take it away from them.

The Barrons

"This is the Law of the Barrons, Where only a few will strive.
The Strong will live long and prosper, while the weak will wither and die..."
-The Barrons Code, Source Unknown

Survival of the fittest:

The Barrons, A horrible place where only the most powerful of monsters not only reside, but struggle to stay alive. one cannot rest long here, lest they be lunch for something bigger than they are. There are few monsters that still hold on to their humanity that live here, and those who do either stick with others or don't last long on their own. Most monsters here are nothing more then savage animals with little to no memory of who they were as a human, and that's IF they were ever human to begin with. The Barrons were once home to some forms of civilization, but one monsters started to appear they all started to fall to ruin. Now though, it's merely a the edge of the world where few humans are brave enough to venture. This sector, is almost entirely wilderness, with virtually every biome under the sun defining it.

The Beast King:

Though this is simply a self given title, there is a creature of the Barrons who is sapient enough to not only function as a human but give orders like one too. This, is the Beast King, a man who strongly believes that monsters are just the next step in human evolution. Those who do not see things his way are just in the way of his vision, and are branded as his enemy. Very few know about this Creature, but his goals couldn't be any more clear... "Kill the Empire. and all of the humans who stand for it". Though many monsters would rather soon die than take to their side, a great number of them were swayed by this man's honeyed words and would fight to the bitter end to see their dream become reality. There's just a handful of thing that "The Beast King" sees as a problem...

The First are the bandits, these petty thieves are willing to even get in their way from time to time. So clearing them out of their path is a must. Then there's The Witching Wood, unless he can convince those damn mages to join their side, then magic is always going to be a problem. Then there's the M.H.G and the Brava Family, with them acting as the outer guards getting Close to the capital is going to be a challenge in it of itself. The final problem isn't even anywhere near any of Inner Sectors, or at the very least it could or could not be. For the last problem might not even exist, who or what is the Lord of Monsters?

The Lord of Monsters:

Fable, Myth, Legend, all this and more are just the few words best to describe the mysterious "Lord of Monsters". This being is so secretive, so elusive, that many question their very existence. They say he is a monster, created by man! One so powerful, it could bring an end to the war once and for all! Though how that can be, no one can say. it is said their breath is hot like the sun, that their skin is as thick as a dragon's, and that they have the strength of 10,000 giants. For such a creature to exist? it can't be so can it? Many monsters and plenty of humans believe in such a thing, while others pass it off as just a bed time story for children. Regardless of weather this creature is/was real or not, the tales of their feats inspire many across the world. Making them believe that peace between man and monster is indeed possible! The question is though, where did these stories come from, and just how many of them are true?

|My Characters|

Lauren Brava

Name: Lauren Brava

Race: Human

Age: 27

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Gender Identity: Female

Gender Preference: Bisexual, Female preference

Appearance: Lauren is a beautiful woman with long bright red hair, Pink eyes, and has a fit body type. She has a scar on her left cheek from a cut she got hunting a monster with other members of the Family.

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 133 Lb.

Personality: Lauren comes off as a very, seductive woman when around other girls or handsome men, though this is often a ruse to get what she want's from them. She is very strong and very demanding at times, but not exactly bossy. When she's happy she puts on a face of confidence and superiority, but anger her and she'll quickly become something ugly.

Bio: Lauren is the head of the Brava family, is as her who installed the new policies to the gang's agenda and caused their profits to skyrocket because of it. Growing up, her father always raised to one day take over the syndicate he built for her, needless to day it was a dream he never got to live to see but if he did they'd certainly be proud. Lauren see's her self as a business (and a gamgster) woman first, and a hunter second. Usually thinking about what a monster is worth to her criminal network, rather than weather or not a monster deserves to be killed or not. Lauren sees monsters as a means to make her money, be it they be sold as slaves or forced to fight in the underground monster fight rings she has set up all over the inner sectors. She just seeks one thing for her own personal collection... The Lord of the Monster's.

Sarah Whells

Name: Sarah Whells

Race: Elf

Age: 48

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Gender Identity: Female

Gender Preference: Strait

Appearance: As an Elf, Sarah looks younger than she really is, mid teens to be exact. She has long, silky, raven hair and emerald green eyes. She has an average build and is quite tall for an elf. She almost always wears glasses, and is seldom ever NOT Formally dressed.

Height: 6'10"

Weight: 200 Lb.

Personality: Sarah is quite a serious person, and is not one for jokes. In fact, she abhors them. She is a strong willed elven vixen, and can be a bit stern when she needs to be. When things drag on longer than they need to be, she is known to slowly lose her temper. Though this is an issue she is trying to work on. When she is confused about something, she fidgets with her glasses by slightly adjusting them five times.

Bio: Sarah's family have served the throne of the Witch Queen for hundreds of years, and Sarah her self once served the previous queen of witches. And now the time as home for the new queen to take the throne, and the new queen... Is a bit of a handful. Granted she is one of the strongest if not THE strongest mage in the sector, but their energetic nature makes them a bit of a handful on many days. Still though, she lovers her job as adviser, and with scouts and spies all over the continent relaying her information it's rare that she's out of any loop for long. However she has come across some very troubling news recently, and it has her quite concerned. A new threat living somewhere in The Barrons is building an army of monsters, and may just test out their might on them once they rally enough forces. At the moment, it doesn't seem like an attack is anything to worry about for the time being. But, Sarah can't help but feel that change is on the wind, change that could turn the entire world of Zanathine upside-down.

Edward Leoknight, the Emperor of Zanathine

Name: Edward Leoknight

Race: Human

Age: 46

Alignment: Lawful Evil

Gender Identity: Male

Gender Preference: Females

Appearance: Edward is much like your typical tyrannical king... Tall, overweight, and Not much to look at. Most only see him as "handsome" only because of his position. He has thin black hair, a bushy mustache, and brown eyes.

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 220 Lb

Personality: Edward is mostly talk. Should he actually come across a monster, he cowers in fear behind his royal guard, military, or anyone who is sworn to protect him. Though when he is not in danger, he does tend to give off a sense of bravado. Edward is self-absorbed and self-centered, thinking more about himself than is own empire.

Bio: Ever since he was crowned as emperor, Edward made a vow that he would eliminate the monster threat by any means necessary. Even if it means at the expense of someone or something else. He even made the claim that he would even challenge the monster threat head on if need be, and the world believed him, truth of the matter is, he's a coward. Growing up in the Noble sector Edward had heard horrid tales of vampires and werewolves, and all other kinds of monsters from his father. It is because of those stories that he is just as fearful as all those who came before him of "the monster threat", but what scares him most of all are two things. The first is "The Beast King", a lumbering Giant said to live within the ruins of The Barrons. To his knowledge, The Beast king is said to be the leader of a group of monsters hell bent on usurping the crown, and destroying humanity. The Second is "The Lord of Monsters". Though he tries to convince him self that such a being is only a legend, Edward can't help but think that maybe, some myths ARE real. However, no one seems to have any credible evidence of his or her existence... /and this is the only reassuring thing to Edward.

Name: Draigg (Pronounced, Dr-egg)

Race: Genetic Experiment

Rank: S

Bounty: As the fabled "Lord of Monsters", Draigg is believed to not exist. And there fore, had no bounty

Age: 17 (Physically 20)

AOC: Draigg is a creation, so he was "born" a monster

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Abilities: Fire breathing,. Strong resistance to slashing and piercing weapons, advanced intelligence, fast movement and combat speeds. Fire and poison immunity. Immense Physical Strength. the ability to appear human and become his monster form at will.

Gender Identity: Male

Gender Preference: Females, but good luck trying to read him

Appearance:

In his monster form - Essential a hybrid of a human and a raptor, Draigg has vibrant orange scales and fiery red, orange and yellow feathers that have black tips. his eyes are green and has a scar on the left side of his face from when he was still being experimented on

in his human from - He has long, messy, dirty Blond hair, is some what handsome, and has green eyes

Height: 6'3" as a human, 6'7" as a monster

Weight: 150 Lb as a Human, 200 Lb as a monster

Personality: Draigg is stoic, and prefers not to show his emotions when he can. On some rare occasions though he will get aggressive if he's angered enough, but he prefers to use said rage as a deterrent to avoid a fight if he can. When Draigg is happy, he typically expresses it with a subtle smile and not much else.

Bio: Created by humans as a means to eliminate other monsters, Draigg is what the scientists call "a Were-Raptor". Powerful and vicious, these reptiles were meant to serve the Royal Army as hunting dogs and take down the bigger monsters in groups. But Draigg refused to be some one's lap dog, and broke out of containment! Killing everyone and everyone in the building, and even some of the other experiments (the ones that got in his way). Since this was a Secret facility hidden somewhere in the Barrons, No one knows of his true origin or what was going on, even the Emperor/Empress didn't know about the experiments that happened here and to this day still doesn't know. For now, Draigg wanders between the Barrons, the Forsaken, and the uncommon sector. Doing what he can to stay alive, and while he's at it.... make his own destiny. Over the years he still remains on neither side of the war, he just beats up who ever tries to cross him... Coincidentally, they were all loyal to either The Royal Army, The M.H.G, or The Brava Family.,always coming out the winner of the fight and vanishing as mysteriously as he arrived. This has, given him they fabled title of... The Lord of Monster's... A Title he tolerates, but doesn't like to mention it.

Other: He wears a ragged Anti-magic, balck cloak at all times. Hiding his identity from all. Cat's are also strangely drawn to him.

(more to come soon, possibly will take the other leaders if no one wants them)

AOC: At Birth

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Abilities: Has incredibly fast regeneration. Though it comes at a cost to extreme pain. Speed, and for his form actually quite strong. Has a bone staff he uses made out of the strongest of monsters. Cranial blade giving him the chance to headbutt and cut through enemies. Can traverse nearly any terrain. Tail has a blade at the end he can use but also split making more weapons to use. Each split has barbs running up the tail making gripping prey and objects very easily.

Gender Identity: M

Gender Preference: Female but he often hasn’t thought about a partner. Only ever going through life alone.

Appearance:
182938182936182937
(Minor changes i am making. Due to the original beast is female i will have the chest slightly broader and muscle density increased. The Head blade also being grown to be more pronounced and a deep red. Tail blades will also be a deep red)
A Reptilian like monster

Height:
Quadrupedal - 5 feet
Standing - 15 feet
On Tails - 24 feet

Weight: Varies but around 700 pounds at his base weight. Speed is the game.

Personality: Khan is suspicious and often trusting only himself. Though if his respect is earned he may fight with you. He hates factions of humans yet sees some individuals as possible good. He kills when he needs to but often finds himself killing Brava forces when they or others come after him.

Bio: Even at Birth Khan wasn't meant to be great. He was different from his family and shunned by them. So as one who loved them he felt very alone. He was able to grow up some in secrecy. Staying in the home all his life, but as the new Emperor took power he was taken. He then grew up a new way, a harsher way, a monster way. He was the crowd fighting dog. In the ring he went from low shunned boy to an undefeated warrior for nearly his entire ten year 'participation'. Slaying both monsters he knew and cared for and some he hated. In time he grew to understand the world and who ran it. The Brava family was on his shit list ever since they slipped up and gave him the chance. When he had won the last battle of the season for his tenth year he found an opening. And made a break for it. He slaughtered his way out killing anyone who dared stop him. Using his agility to get him to the Barrons. Now he simply hunts when he needs to and kills when he needs to. Not wanting to be apart of their bloody games. He sometimes barters while under a very big cloak selling monster parts and materials he finds or collects in the Barrons. Often only staying to get his trade and leave. Having been hunted by Brava's and hunters ever since. And sadly, they have lost many hunters.

Other: Has a weakness for good cooking. If you cook meat like a champ you may have the chance of meeting him on his good side.

You should be good @Soverign , I'm just busy planing things out
 

Name: Solomon Baratos



Race: Human



Age: 35



Alignment: Lawful Good



Gender Identity: Male



Gender Preference: Straight



Appearance:


183081



Height: 5'11



Weight: 175 (lbs)



Personality: Solomon is a courageous individual who will always help someone in need, whether they be human or monster. He doesn't talk alot, mostly preferring to listen and observe the environment around himself. He follows a strict code of justice and chivalry, meaning he will never strike down an unarmed foe.



Bio: Solomon grew up an orphan in the uncommon sector of Zanathine. At a very young age he was taken in by an ancient but grand church whos ways have since been long forgotten with the passage of time. For most of his young life he was trained by the order in the ways of chivalry, morality, and divine justice. Honing his combat skill and prowess to the point of mastery. When he reached his twenty first birthday he was officially knighted by the order as their last zealot warrior. Destined to protect the land from the evil that threatened it.

But what that evil was, he did not know. For years he went on a pilgramage to discover the evil his order spoke of. But throughout his many adventures and quests, he never found anything that could substantially harm the empire. But soon he may discover that the evil is not outside of the empire, but at its very heart.

Other: Solomon was gifted with ancient armor that once belonged to a hero in history's long past. It bears the symbol of his order.

Monster sheet:


Name: Moki

Race: Genetic Experiment

Rank: B

Bounty: 2,300

Age: 2

AOC: Born with it

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Abilities: Able to change his body according to whatever he eats/inhales. The changes gained this way can only work with one element at a time (no mixing), and it takes a little time to change from one form to the next. Other than that, Moki has claws and teeth, is good at climbing and swinging, and is stronger than he appears to be

Gender Identity: Male

Gender Preference: Straight

Appearance: Moki is a small bipedal creature that stands as tall as a child, but can move on all fours like a dog. He has fox-like ears, a long prehensile tail, and white fur. Large black eyes make him look innocent, but his four-fingered hands end in non-retractable claws

183224

Height: 54.5 cm

Weight: 4.85 lb

Personality: Moki is more animal-like than human-like, and tends to act like a spoiled cat to get people's attention. However, when things get serious, Moki shows a heightened level of intelligence, to the point of creating plans and traps to win.

Bio: Moki woke to broken glass and barely working lights. The room was some sort of laboratory with two cylindrical pods: one that Moki came from and one that had been shattered. Beyond the room signs of battle and bloodshed marked the entire facility, but there were no bodies of the victims or the slayer(s). The newborn Moki spent quite some time in the abandoned facility, getting used to moving around and scavenging for food, but he had to leave eventually. Going through the exit he found that they were in some sort of swamp in the Neutral Zone, but the door to the facility vanished beneath the muck, leaving Moki to his own devices.

Out in the wilderness the food didn't stay still, so Moki had to get creative with his catching techniques. Not only was every catch a source of food, but with everything he ate that wasn't in a bag, Moki could feel a sort of power resonating from himself. He assumed this was indigestion and continued wandering, leaving the Neutral Zone, until he found a town of humans. He was intrigued to see these types of creatures that could bend the world to their needs, but the civilians weren't as intrigued with him. Some saw him as some strange cat, but most wouldn't allow him into their shelters. At one point, while eating a fish, the merchant got really upset with him and attacked him. Calling upon the power within himself, Moki transformed, much to everyone's surprise. Escaping through the sewers, Moki found that he was appearing on posters around town, and that some humans wanted to catch him like he would catch wild creatures.

They couldn't be this afraid of him through one encounter alone. There could only be one other explanation: someone knew him and what he was

Alright, time to get to work and set up the rest of the ooc and evaluate some sheets
 
Okay my thoughts on everyone so far, needless to say you are all approved but I still have things to say...

@Soverign

We have spoken over PM, and I said that I'd approve of this. Khan seems like the type who'd be right at home in the Barons as an upper-mid tier predator. And with his History with the Brava's, it means that he's going to watch his back and keep an eye out for anyone with the guts to come after him. I could also see him possibly taking up arms with the Beast King (who ever that might be, if anyone takes it besides myself). After all, some monsters like to work together.

@Ur Degaton

As our only other Human character, Solomon is a welcome addition to the cast. His Knightly appearance, and good heated nature are exactly what neutral territory needs in these hectic times they are seeing. Especially since they are a common place of pincer attacks between both sides in the war. I can see about writhing some background of a secret church order if you'd like, just message me and the two of us can get to work. In the mean time however, I am curious what his thoughts are on legends such as the Luluula Vampires, or the fabled Lord of Monsters. Being from a background that's just as mysterious as they are that is...

@lXlGamemaster

Seeing as Moki came from a lab in ruins, I can only assume he came from the experiments that were held in the lab in The Barrons, and that he woke up some time after Draigg's relentless rampage. I don't mind this one bit, as it adds on to the unholiness of what this nameless organization was doing behind the Emperor's/Empress's back. The two of them (Draigg and Moki) just seem so alien, Moki especially on the account that... He can change his physical makeup just my ingesting matter. Though one has to wonder... If He DID come from the same place as Draigg, do the two of them know each other? What did these people have planed for Moki with Draigg's design in mind? So many questions, that we'll just have to wait and see if they will be answered.

----

Now then, if I'm not mistaken... @Arkangel and @Zackymas also showed interest in this RP. But I have not heard from them since I posted the OOC. I'll give them till the 8th to respond. That way I can give time to any others who may want to join in as well to make characters of their own. Until then, let's keep this thread active and alive!
 
every day that gets closer i am more hyped for this. I hope they get in on time
 
I am currently working on the Leaders of each faction, and the IC page. please wait a little longer guys, there's A LOT of writhing to do. Maybe a few more days and we'll start this at long last
 
still writimg to be done, I've just had other things to do on the side, also I've been dealing with writers block
 
If you ever want some ideas thrown at you, all you need to do is ask
 
Lawrence Ainsley

Name
: Lawrence "Lori" Ainsley

Race: Wendigo

Rank: A

Bounty: 750,000

Age: 26 yrs

AOC: Lori was 13 when he first changed.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral; doesn't give a f*** about anyone. Looks out for himself.

Abilities:
Lori can transform at night. This is about the only time that he can do so voluntarily and with control as he retains a good deal of his humanity. Involuntary shifts, however, can occur on full moons, new moons, or when under immense stress, pain, or emotional conflict. In these situations Lori is driven by animalistic vices alone and typically goes on rampages. During the day Lori returns into his human form but can shift parts of himself to suit his needs for short amount of time. Lori has supernatural strength, speed, and a high pain tolerance. Blunt force impacts do far less damage than one would expect and his ability to heal after eating is usually enough to most wounds (even some mortal ones depending on the severity). Lori doesn't mind the survival boost but he would rather avoid shifting since he becomes impossibly ravenous afterwards and will not heal or recover until he is sated. Lori heavily prefers to eat normal, cooked meals over live kills but in a pinch eating a bastard is satisfying both literally and in spite.

Gender Identity: Male

Gender Preference: Could give a shit. Whatever is available. Bisexual.

Appearance: Lean with a wiry build. His hands are calloused and bear old scars from years working as a trader/smuggler. His skin is sun kissed and even in tone. He keeps his pale pink hair short (just enough to pull back into very short pony) but doesn't bother trying to fix the stubborn locks. Lori's eyes are sharp and gleam a vibrant hazel; gold along the edges with a hint of mischievous green at the center. When angered or on the verge of changing his pupils turn to horizontal slits like a goat. He has a set of very pronounced canines but ones that could be passed off as normal in human form. In wendigo form they elongate to fit in his skullish head.
e61f6c20b90b74840d4f29d09d52527a.jpg
White fur/muscle continues to his knees and turns to bone to match his arms. Black spinal cord protrudes from back slightly.

Height: 5'6" (human), 10'3" (Wendigo)

Weight: 132 lbs (human), 205 lbs (Wendigo)

Personality:
Apathetic, selfish, untrustworthy. Lori has no loyalties, no moral restraint, and could not give a hoot about the well being of others. All that matters is his own survival. That does not mean that he goes out of his way to kill people though and he is not completely heartless. Lori would love nothing more than to live out his days a simple "trader" selling illegal goods in the different districts. Perhaps the only things that interest Lori are money, food, smokes and good alcohol, and entertainment. He doesn't like owing people, especially with more than just money so he won't ask for help. It makes him a stubborn individual. Sly and wily. Very rarely does he make lasting friends (and that is yet to happen).

Bio:
Lori grew up in a small town within the Uncommon sector. His parents owned a small farm where they raised goats and sheep. Life was simple. When he was old enough to work Lori's father taught him how to barter and trade goods. While the war raged on his town managed to enjoy some peace. It wasn't until he turned 13 years old that strange things began to occur on the farm. Goats and sheep would go missing, crop beds were kicked and trampled, and strange noises could be heard in the dead of night. The Ainsley's feared the worst. A rogue monster. The town began to grow uneasy as well. Many of the monster inhabitants decided to leave for fear the news would reach M.H.G. or Brava. Meanwhile Lori was having a difficult time recalling memories and had grown a fearsome appetite. It was on the night of a full moon that the Ainsley's finally discovered that the monster they feared was none other than their son. His father was a smart man and a compassionate one. Despite everything, Mr. Ainsley still love hi son and so, together with his wife, they hide Lori's monstrous discovery. For a year the Ainsley's learned how to help Lori control his urges and maintain his humanity. But despite everything they did Lori was soon discovered by the M.H.G. Confronted on the farm, Mr. Ainsley and his wife sacrificed themselves so that Lori could escape. Traumatized, angry, and grief stricken, Lori fled into the night driven by his fear and desperation to survive. Weeks later he was found by a smuggler who took pity on the boy and took him in.

Other: Likes goats. Cute little buggers. Color Hex: cd5169


Thistle Theodora Thisbe

Name
: Thistle Theodora Thisbe

Race: Human Witch / Witch Queen

Age: 24

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Gender Identity: Female

Gender Preference: Straight

Appearance:
Thistle is a short gal but her athletics and personality make up for that. Her skin is olive in tone and covered by a variety of tattoos. Most are magic circles or ancient spells. A few are ones she made herself. And perhaps one might find a random flower or herb hidden within the inky design. The tattoos cover both arms, her back, and part of her thighs. Thistle has brown hair that she keeps cropped short (she claims its to keep out of the way of spell casting but in reality she's too lazy to style it). Her eyes are bright amber and gleam like a cat's (and quite literally when casting spells). She tends to wear boyish clothing and will only ever wear dresses or skirts when she must (thats not to say she doesn't like to dress pretty though, she just values mobility and comfort more).
0fe2ba79d985abfb98e5ac3a8d53fdfa.jpg
Pretty damn close, just put on a carefree grin~

Height: 5'2"

Weight: 120 lbs

Personality:
Thistle is very independent and strong willed. The young witch enjoys the thrill of new challenges and likes to face them head on. She is very positive, bright, and energetic with the "will do" mentality. On first impressions Thistle is friendly, passionate, and at times blunt but with the very best intention (mostly). She's the kind of gal that judges people on actions but keeps words of wisdom in mind. Her sense of responsibility, especially towards her allies, prevents Thistle from acting in her usual manner but when her actions have no effect on other she can be reckless, rash, and spontaneous. Thistle's sense of adventure is as powerful as her wanderlust and she would love nothing more than to roam as she pleased. Thistle can be a bit nosy and therefore tends to drag herself into plenty of situations that could very well get her injured or killed. She can't help it, especially with kids. While Thistle rather not fight she has absolutely no problem getting down and dirty and would gladly sacrifice herself if it meant the survival of others. In this way she can be altruistic to a fault. Its very rare that Thistle develops grudges, usually she is forgiving but should a grievance be made against those she cares about expect her full wrath to be unleashed.

Bio:
Thistle was born and raised in the Witching Woods and had a strong affinity for magic. Raised by her grandmother, Thistle learned how to wield magic and devoted herself to botany at a young age. The young girl was often running wild in the woods looking for fabled beasts, magical plants, or hidden hideouts to claim as her own. She learned how to make healing ointments from her granny and forged her love for teas with the old witch. One of her favorite things to do was climb the trees until she could see beyond the canopy. Thistle would spend hours watching the world beyond, wondering what kinds of alien things existed. It was one of the many reasons why she enjoyed talking to visitors of the Witching Woods. They always had fantastic stories to tell about the different kinds of people and monsters. Sometimes the stories were sad but other times there were stories of adventure. Having grown up surrounded by magic, Thistle never perceived a difference between monsters and humans, just two of the many different species and races the existed in the world. She had met good people and bad people so surely it couldn't the physical nature of an individual that made them evil. It's why actions became so important to her. It's also why she wishes to find a peaceful way for humans and monsters to co-exist.

Other: Is obsessed with tea. Her favorite pass time is making new kinds and seeing how well certain herbs and spices pair. Needless to say, she specializes in healing magic, tinctures, and pulps. It should also be known that she is allergic to cats. A fact that she ignores. Color Hex: a68627

The Queen of Witches is open, as I have not yet fleshed out her concept yet (may make an adviser for her if you'd be alright with that), otherwise I'll give the possition to you if you are interested. Thistle seems like the kind of person who'd strongly believe in Draigg's existence, and I can't help but think she'd be fascinated in what he even is. I also find it funny how she's allergic to cats (yet also really likes them?), while Draigg attracts them and simply tolerates them.

As for Lawrence, I think he'd be right at home in the outer regions of the uncommon sector, he jest needs to keep his... erm... Skull clean. Though I can't help but think that he'd likely find kinship with The Beast King and his forces... but that could be just me.

They are both accepted, thank you for showing interest

@TyranntX Thank you very much! If I need to adjust anything just let me know! And she probably would considering her wild imagination. She does love them and refuses to admit she is allergic! ^w^ She's likely to pester him to sate her curiosity.

Maybe. We'll just have to wait and see. :P

Thank you! Looking forward to role playing with you all! ^w^
 
Alright, next character made. May do the rest at a later date since theirs no one part of their factions yet. So I think it's FINALLY time to get to work on that IC... Sign ups are STILL open and I will allow additional characters if anyone get's any ideas they may want to do. For now though. Please Stand by.
