Questing [Open]

Questing, British Columbia, is a fairly large city in Canada, near the coast. It is a hub of the fantastic in the country; it has the largest population of magical beings in Canada. This is for two reasons: the first is that it is the home of the Questing Beast Academy, the best school for the supernatural in the country. The second is that it was founded on top of a tract of land called a Sound Spot; a place where magic is naturally extremely strong.

The Sound Spot doesn't have much of an effect on the landscape or population on its own, besides causes in a high rate of human children born with mild magical abilities. But a skilled magician can tap into the power to amplify their own power. QBA offers special classes for starting young people to be able to do this, but it takes many years to master the magical arts. QBA also acts like a regular high school; magical arts can be taught with some dedication after all, some just have a natural ability to tap into.

Though, the human students of QBA tend to be picked on more often by the more...fantastic students. But this doesn't stop friendships, relationships, clubs, games, and alliances among the students.

You are one of the students at the Questing Beast Academy. More specifically, you are a member of the Supernatural Alliance, a club dedicated to researching the fantastic beasts depicted in works of fiction and comparing them to the real world. The club is headed by an eccentric young Mewling, who goes by the name of Felix.

It's been a few meetings now, and Felix has arranged an excursion; a visit to a friend of his father's, who is known to be an expert in the fantastic. The group is about to set out on foot from the Academy, to the home of this expert.

Oh look another Cherry-RP! You should know what to expect from me as far as how I want you to RP (if not, check here and here for some basic stuff.) Some other stuff, though:

-You should be a humanoid creature, or at least one that can shapeshift to such a form. I will detail some basic stuff you can be without asking, but if you know any other species, ask me! I want to make sure we're about the same in terms of strengths.
-keep in mind, you characters are young and likely not in complete control of their abilities.
-Humans in this RP can have mild powers, thanks to the Sound Spot; be creative here! Elemental control, telekinesis, healing factor, whatever. If it's too overpowered, I will reject it! And tell you why, too.


Species:

Humans
-Your basic species. You all are (probably) humans irl, so I shouldn't need to talk about them too much. Humans here are mostly the same, except many have the magical abilities like I discussed above.

Vampires
-Vampires resemble humans, except tend to be much paler, and often look sick or tired all the time. They need to feed on blood at least once a week, or they will go into an uncontrollable Blood Rage and then die. Vampires are slightly stronger than normal humans, and can shapeshift into one animal at will, though what animal they get they do not choose. They get weak around wooden objects. Vampires cannot go out in daylight without an enchanted artifact, which are quite rare, so there should not be too many full-blood vampire PCs.

Half-Vampires
-Half-Vampires are a rarity; only able to be born from a vampire and human parent, and even then only about 20% of couples can produce viable offspring. They are capable of walking in the day and are very strong, though not as strong as a full Vampire. They display a mild ability to control small animals, and cannot shapeshift.

Mewling
-A Mewling is a strange creature; they are mostly human like, though they bear cat ears and tail, as well as sharply clawed fingers and vaguely feline faces. They tend to be hyperactive and a little spacey, and prone to hunting mice and small animals. They hate water. They are not quite as strong as a normal human, but quite faster.

Were
-Think "Werewolf" but expanded to many other kinds of animal. The most common are Wolves, Leopards, Boars, Bears, and Foxes, though other species are not unknown. As the dates start to get closer to the full moon, a were will start to get more and more animalistic, getting more hairy, sharper nails and teeth, etc, until the full moon, when they take on a fully animal form. When in this form, they retain humanity, but express more animal-like tendencies, and must find nourishment appropriate for their species. Weres are weak to silver, and prone to scratching themselves, growling, and otherwise behaving like an animal.

Fae
-The Fae are a mysterious bunch. Resembling tall, willowy humans, often with pale skin and fair hair, but not always, they blend in quite well...except for the fact that their eyes are a solid colour, and tend to glow. Fae can work natural magic quite well, but trade it in for the fact that they are extremely frail, and tend to have weak stomaches for non-completely natural food. They dislike using metals for much of anything, preferring wood or stone where they can substitute it. Fae tend to be quite snobby, believing themselves above other races.

Furre
-Furre are often mistaken for their distant cousins, the Were, much to their annoyance. They resemble anthropomorphic animals, and tend to be shorter than most humans. They, like Were, are more animal-like than most, though it shows more in their appearance. They are beastly strong, but tend to be slow-moving. Furre can come in many shapes and sizes, though mammals are most common. Reptilian and avian Furre females do not have breasts, as they are not mammals. They do not have any natural powers, beyond their strength, though they can be born with magical ability much like humans.


Feel free to ask if you may use another (humanoid) race not listed.

Reserving, because any RP done by you is completely fantastic.

>.< Should I join...or no..uhmm..okay, Imma join :D!

Reserve, please~

Ooh! Sounds fun! I'll join!

Name: Nyra Fumia
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Species: Mewling

Apperance: Her Mewling ears and tail look like an orange tabby cats fur. Her fingernails are somewhat shorter than most Mewlings. She has long brown hair that goes all the way down her back. She wears black boot that reach up to her knee. She has wears a pink and black striped shirt with blue jeans. Her eyes are a tree green color.

Personality: She tends to be the one that bosses people around. She acts like the ruler of everything at times and can be very hard to get her attention. She is very hyperactive and when she does something she tends to lose her train of thought and think of something entierly different. She is also very curious. And if she finds it appropriate, she will smack people.

History: She dosen't remember much of her childhood. All she can remember from that time is that she was an orphan. She enjoyed to stay in the forest because she was free to roam where she wanted and explore places she found. When she went to the QBA she enjoyed it there. She had found she can somewhat control electricity. It's not as though she cause black outs or so, unless of course, she dosen't have control over it at the time.

Abilities: She can control electricity some. It's not like she can power down a whole city or so, just some small electrical things.

Other:

Name: Davey Hammers
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Species: Human

Appearance: Dark brown, well-groomed hair, soft amber eyes, gentle facial features, dresses rather nicely most of the time. Here's a picture.

Personality: He's happy most of the time, laughing and smiling a lot, and at first he seems rather pleasant. However, he isn't. Davey is a colossal asshole and loves nothing more than getting a rise out of people. His healing factor has also given him a fascination for pain, both inflicted by and to him.

History: Born of a rather rich family, Davey soon became bored with the super-structured life of the upper-class and decided to get out some more, escaping his home whenever he could. He soon realized he was able to shrug off a good deal of injuries dealt to him, so he soon started to get his thrills by taunting people into attacking him. If he couldn't do that, well, watching them break down was almost as good, as seeing someone hurt that couldn't just bounce back from it like he could was fun, too.

Abilities: Rapid healing factor, enhanced speed.

Other: ...Don't expect to get along with him very well.

Reserving, please.

Reserves added + Skymin accepted.

fuck you davey

Can I reserve please?

Blehhh imma be a pig
Question, can I have a female were-boar?

Name: Dakota Fen
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Species: Were-boar

Appearance: You can probably tell when you run into Dakota because she's NOT wearing jeans. Dakota dislikes jeans as well as skirts, so she'll most often wear some sort of sweatpants or shorts. She also prefers looser tops, so she will have a plain long-sleeved shirt of some sort on almost all of the time. (She rarely wears tank tops, excluding on really hot days). She's 163 centimeters (5'4") tall, and her build is slim but not too thin. Her face is round, as are her eyes, and she has sharply defined facial features, and straight black hair. Her eyes are a dark brown, but not quite black. She'll not wear socks whatever chance she gets, but she wears socks in public, and unless she's not going to do too much walking she'll wear grey shoes that look almost like hiking boots.

As a boar, she basically looks like a large furry pig with an elongated face and small tusks. Her fur isn't very long at all, though, and it's a silvery-muddy-brown color.

Personality: Mostly PO, but she's slightly timid, somewhat antisocial, but can sometimes be aggressive, assertive and/or obnoxious rather than timid. Oh, and she gets angry easily, so watch out.

History: Dakota never really liked to rely on magic for anything. When she got mad (and that's definitely a "when" and not an "if"), she'd imagine herself as a boar charging the "perpetrator" or biting them rather than blasting them with some sort of offensive magic which may or may not exist. She's planning on taking some sort of physical arts of defense class as well as a small magic one, although she's not really sure why she's not totally focused on magic. Just a sort of misfit, she guesses. Dakota doesn't take being a boar for granted, since she feels it gives her freedom from the strife of the human world. And boars are great. She has often felt that humans are somehow corrupted in mind, which she thinks is another advantage to being a were. Sometimes this caused other people to be wary around her, but she's never really noticed...

Abilities: Dakota, as a boar, has longer tusks than an average female wild boar, which might lead some others to think she was a male (even though she's not). She's adept and accurate at charging enemies, although will usually hesitate to do so since she'll probably be afraid of hurting someone if they don't move out of the way.

Other: oink not zampano

Name: Derana Hanecco
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Species: Furre

Appearance: She's a cat-furry, with red fur and brown hair. She had yellow eyes and wears glasses, and her clothing style is T-shirts and jeans. She always wears two hairclips that look like leaves.http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/286/e/e/profile__derana_by_chaletica-d2ykrys.png

Personality: She usually seems laid-back and nice, but she's also pretty lazy and can be selfish. She's also curious and easily distracted, and gets addicted easily. Also, she has a bit of a short fuse and can "snap" and lose all control over herself if pressed too far, or in extreme situations.

History: She discovered her power at the age of 6, when she got angry at some kids bullying her. When her parents found out some years later, they decided to send her to the school when she was old enough.

Abilities: She can spit small fireballs(Is that accepted?)

Other: Nothing, really.

Name: Fyrel Willow
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Species: Ocean Elf

Appearance: Dirty blond hair, sea-green eyes, slightly pointed ears, wears sleeveless cloth shirt (made from a burlap-type of material) and pants made of the same material, with a leather belt and armbands.

Personality: He's very calm, collected, very rarely speaking his thoughts. He's not the most friendly person out there, but when he IS, he's very genuine about it, no faking or hiding stuff.

History: He was sent to the school by his uncle who had taught him how to use water magic. Everything else about him is relatively unknown.

Abilities: He controls and manipulates water and moisture in the air with his water magic. He focuses the power through a simple wooden staff with a crystal embedded in the top. The crystal glows brightly when he uses his magic.

Name: Serdal Greerson
Age: 15
Gender: ♂
Species: Werefox

Appearance: Serdal is quite small for his age, maybe five feet tall in a pair of thick shoes. His ears are large and pointed, growing more prominent and prehensile over the month. They're always twitching at least slightly, however, especially when people speak to him. His teeth are bone-white and sharp, growing longer and more numerous as the moon grows. The boy's hair is the color of blood and cream mixed together, thick and shaggy. His body hair thickens noticeably over time, from barely a dusting at the new moon up to a soft, smooth coating of fuzz by the time he's ready to actually turn animal. His eyes are amber-green and flecked with yellow, and the pupils are entirely too large. He usually wears a woven, lightly-colored wooden necklace on the shape of an 'O' with a '◘' in the center.

Once a month, Serdal involuntarily becomes an overly-large fennec fox. Which is to say, a couple of feet high at the shoulder, seeing as normal fennecs are less than a foot tall.

Personality: Serdal is a cautious sort of fellow, not one to jump into a new situation with much gusto. He is talkative, however, especially if your his friend. The boy sounds hyper quite often, although he's really not, and tends to make run-ons often when speaking. He enjoys watching and listening as much as talking, however, and he's about the best audience someone could ask for. Serdal enjoys reading, although his comprehension isn't the absolute best since he reads quite quickly. He can seem a tad 'wired' to people that aren't used to him, but he's actually as laid-back as the next guy. Serdal's tongue is as sharp as his wereteeth, and twice as quick to attack an opening; insults are a fun game to him, although he doesn't play it too often.

History: Serdal is actually an immigrant from the southwest United States, although it's hard to tell besides a few pronunciation differences when he talks; he has virtually no accent, since he moved to Canada at around the age of seven. Constituting his family are his mother, father, and younger brother. He's been going to the school for quite a while now, and has, if not risen to the top of his class, at least bobbed along happily near the ceiling. Otherwise his life at the school and out of it has been rather unremarkable.

Abilities: Intensely good hearing, even on things underground. He can go for long periods without liquid water, and is a very good jumper. Also has a very good memory. Serdal does, of course, have the inherent ability to transform over the course of the lunar month, like all Werepeople.

Other: Fennec foxes, amirite?

@Mad MOAI - Yes.

@SkyAngel - Actually, Fae are the equivalent of Elves in this verse. Also, you can be skilled with a sword, but you wouldn't be permitted a real one at all (at least in public/school), considering your character is a teenager still, like the rest of us. A wooden, rattan, or foam/plastic sword is probably your best bet.

@Everyone else - reserved or accepted as the case may be.

Hmm. Okay. How about switching the sword for a staff, then, and giving him some magic so he has something to defend himself with XD? Preferably focusing on water magic. Maybe he's a species of Fae that lived on islands in the ocean or something :3

All right, thanks Cherry Bomb. I never really can locate the exact subject of "boar." xD

And I've finished my form now, unless I need something to be longer, or a better ability. :U

Name: Theodore "Ted" Eldritch
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Species: Furre

Appearance:
Theodore is a green-eyed feline furre with snow-white fur covering most of his body, except for a small black spot at his shoulder. He generally looks a bit aloof, despite being a rather nice person in general.
Theodore's wardrobe is not very varied. He usually wears a crimson T-shirt covered in black and white zigzag lines, as well as two simplified skulls, one positioned at the chest and the other at the lower stomach. His trousers are simple and black, decorated with three red claw marks at the right upper leg. Theodore wears a black beanie on his head, and most noticeably, a black eyepatch with a white stop sign decorating it over his left eye.

Personality:
Theodore, despite mostly having an aloof expression on his face, is a rather decent guy. He dislikes loud noises and usually keeps to himself in his peace and quiet. However if he decides to come out of his own little sphere you'll find that he is a rather social person, who likes a good laugh.
(rest is PO)

History:
The current generation of the Eldritch family, whose name stretches at least a thousand years back, Theodore was born as the only child to the pair Wilbur and Lavinia Eldritch in Providence, Rhode Island. The unique magical ability Theodore have is in fact a part of his family, and everyone on his mother's side had a similar ability. However Theodore's powers are more than anything an accumulation of those of his past generations.

The family later moved to Questing, as Theodore's father Wilbur found a job in the city, and as such they found it was better for the whole family if they moved. Theodore was five years old at the time.

Abilities:
Theodore's abilities centers around his left eye. Under the eyepatch his eye is in fact a myriad of smaller eyes, each one with an unique colour. Theodore can mentally "choose" an eye of the many, which grows to the size of a normal eye. Depending on the colour of the eye, Theodore gain the ability to transform parts of his body to something unique to the individual eye. For example, the completely black eye gives him the ability to transform body parts into massive spider legs, while the green eye allows transformation into scythe-like legs, like those of the praying mantis. As varied as this power is, Theodore gains no way to attack enemies at a distance, and has to rely solely on melee. In addition, changing from one eye to the other is somewhat time consuming. It is interesting to note that despite there being thousands of eyes he is capable of choosing, most of them seem to be themed on insects or various other uncanny creatures, such as crabs, octopuses, etc.

Other: Theodore speaks with no noticeable accent what so ever, making his speech sound somewhat robotic.

Click to expand...

Yeah that should work. :3


And yeah, MG that should be fine, as long as you use it right, and I'm pretty sure you will.

@Mad MOAI - form is fine, accepted~

Okay, after a bit of mental slavery, I finished my form and I believe it should do.

Finished my form~
