Open The Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox -- Part 1: The Shadows

Darksong

Back in action!
Yes, a fox RP, I'm boring.

For a long time, the Leaf clan, the foxes who live in the forest of Vulpe, have looked up to their ancestors, the Night clan. There are many legends and lore of tales long ago, explaining things. But the most popular and fascinating of all is the Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

It has been passed down from generation to generation. It says that that the Nine-Tailed Fox will be the guardian of the forest and live a thousand years.

The forest of Vulpe is in turmoil. For some reason that the Leaf clan haven't figured out, the prey is gradually disappearing. They can only survive for three more generations before they will be forced to leave the place that has been their home for two hundred years. They're hoping stronger than ever that the Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox will come true. Or else, they are doomed.


PART 1: THE SHADOWS

Rogue foxes are becoming more common. Almost constantly, the Leaf clan has to deal with thieves and foxes who attack. Somehow, they have to find where these numerous enemies are coming from, and once they do, defeat them. They must try their hardest, or they will lose their home sooner.

RULES:

1. First and foremost, your character may not be the nine-tailed fox.
2. No godmoding. This includes Mary-Sues, controlling others' characters, being too strong, always succeeding... you get the idea. No-one is all-powerful.
3. Please use good grammar. I'd like at least three good sentences per post.
4. Use common sense.
5. Only one power. Be rather specific; I don't want "anything" as a power. Also, nothing that's too strong. I don't want powers like "has poisonous skin" or "a killing glare." Again, common sense.
6. Your form is like a sample post. Please put effort into it.
7. To reassure you, this is not like the Warriors series when it comes to names. You don't have to have a two-part name. Anything works.
8. Keep it PG13 at the most.
9. I want at least one paragraph per post. If you can't type enough, unless it's important, don't post! I need the plot to run quickly so that we can finish this part before going to the next one. Only post if it actually contributes to what we're doing right now. For example, it's fine to say "[fox name] dashed out of his den to help with the attack, etc etc...." but don't say "[fox name] wandered around the camp with nothing to do, etc etc....."
10. No chain posting! This means, do not post with just a couple others over and over and create five pages while I'm gone! It's very frustrating and stressful for everyone, so DON'T DO IT!

MY CHARACTER

Name: Aurora

Gender: Vixen (female)

Appearance: Aurora is rather small-sized for a fox. She has long, silky fur that shines under the starlight. It's colored a dark brown, just like the soil below her paws. Her paws, muzzle and tail tip are colored white, like the snow. Her eyes are very dark brown, almost black, and round, making her look eager.

Personality: Aurora is calm and cool, not easily panicking over even intense situations. She usually is serious and wants to get the job done, causing her to be slightly impatient sometimes. Though she is impatient, the vixen is optimistic and light-hearted; it's hard to get her down. However, when she is sad, it's hard to encourage her again, and at this point, she can be unconfident, which is not normal. Usually, Aurora is a brave wolf and doesn't give up, even when she's intimidated. She tends to hide her inner feelings, except for love, and when she likes someone, it's rather obvious. She has a short temper and hates being pushed around.

History: Aurora stuck close to her parents for a long time, so she didn't meet a lot of others until she was old enough to have cubs. She was always picked on for her small size. Tired of this, she tried to stay away from the others; however, they didn't stop, much to her annoyance. There was only one who didn't bully her, and he was a fox named Riverheart, because he could run fast. However, she was separated from him before she had a chance to get close, by the other bullies, and that day, she was beat up so much that she was furious and decided to leave. As she wandered, she was taken in by the Leaf clan. She lived in the Leaf clan for many moons until eventually she became leader due to her great loyalty.

Power: Can conjure beams of ice.

Other:

B]Name:[/B] Psi

Gender: Male

Rank: Warrior

Appearance: A short-furred fox with a dark brown pelt. The only white on him is on his paws and ear-tips. His eyes are a bright, gleaming amber.

Personality: Polite and calm, he's not easily perturbed. He is friendly to others and tries to stay on their good side. However, he isn't that confident and doesn't ask that determinedly. He really doesn't expect much from himself, but is supportive of the others in his pack.

History: Was a rogue in the rogue clan until he joined the Leaf clan. He wasn't treated that badly, but he wasn't treated well either. However, he managed to remain cool and escape in the darkness of the night.

Power: Speaking to others using telepathy.

Other:

EFFING YES

Name:
Storm

Gender: Vixen

Rank: Warrior. (psst can I be second in command?)

Appearance:Storm usually takes the appearance of a gray fox(as in the species), with a dull gray pelt and brown around a tail length across her back. Her eyes are dark brown, and a bushy tail common to most foxes. Storm is just under average size, and has nine tails around average weight.

But of course, this can vary.

Personality: Storm is impatient at best, reckless and not really serious. She would prefer to venture out in the forest for days at a time than hunt, but she is rather responsible. Storm likes battle, and is ever training for that one fight that will make history. However responsible, she is playful and quick on her feet.

History: Storm lived in the Leaf clan all her life, was an apprentice, became a warrior, blah blah blah. Nothing extremely special.

Power: Poisonious pelt and a killing glare Minor shapechanging, can become anything of equal size or smaller, and fur colour can change.

Other: You better not let this die >:/

Multiple characters?
 
Oh! Can I reserve the healer? I have to get ready for church in a few minutes, and a lot on TCoD to be checked.
 
Mewtwo: reserved.

Dragon: Not accepted. Read the rules again. I said you may have only one power. If you like you can edit your form so that you only have one, though. I striked the "if you like" out because I know you'll want to :3

ALSO: Two new rules. Please view first post for more info.

Name: depends Nonoshiri

Gender: Fox

Rank: Apprentice

Appearance: Nonoshiri has jet-black fur and dark brown eyes.
His fur is short and pressed lightly against his skin, giving him a sleek, ferret-like look. His eyes are slitted and deep-set, adding a dead look to his face. He has short, stocky legs but a long, slim body and a fluffy tail tipped with white. The fur on his muzzle has a silver tinge to it more towards Nonoshiri's nose. All of his paws are a bright white that looks like clean bone.

Personality: Nonoshiri is a rather un-talkative, sneaky fox who wants to be a sort of spy for his clan. He's also kind and careful, but despite the latter he is rather clumsy to an extent. Also he can't make leaderlike decisions very well but otherwise he knows that trying your best is the only thing that counts.

History: As a cub, Nonoshiri was named at birth because he looked as if he was on the brink of dying, partly due to his sparkle-less eyes and fur color. However he worked as diligently as possible and became a fairly average fox at about two years old. Now he works hard for his clan and trains under his mentor fairly well.

Power: Can turn himself into a shadow.

Other: Due to his power (no he is NOT a vampire), Nonoshiri casts no shadow and no reflection in water or a mirror.
 
But.. that is one power. It's just details of the same thing. =O

I meant Storm has minor shapechanging, meaning she can change into anything the same size or smaller. Because of this, her pelt/feather/scale colour can change.
 
Name: Roko

Gender: Vixen

Rank: Mother

Appearance: Roko is a reddish-orange sort of hue. She has a darker streak on her forehead that looks more vibrant orange (her tail is the same color), and her paws are in between the color of her tail and the rest of her body.

Personality: Roko is rather smart and clever. Instead of trying to go for the easiest path, she tricks her way around obstacles. She tends to hold grudges for a long time and can be aggressive.

History: Roko used to tromp around on her own a lot, not really caring if anyone could keep up with her or if she was going somewhere she shouldn't be. Once she roamed off and got stranded for about a week during the winter, keeping herself alive with her fire. She was found by a small group of rogues eventually, and lived with them for a while. During this time, she found one male she particularly liked, named Ukon. She returned home to the Leaf clan, where she found out she was to bear his pups. And the story starts about a week afterwards.

Power: Roko can make small fires as well as make fire come from her breath for a short period of time (...I think that counts as one power since they're just basically "can control fire with limits").

Other: Would it be okay if she was kind of rivals with Aurora, Darksong?


Name: Ukon

Gender: Fox

Rank: Warrior

Appearance: Ukon is a dull brown, like soil, all over. He finds this very useful in hunting, since he can hide well. His snout is on the long side, and his tail is very bushy.

Personality: Ukon is affectionate most of the time. However, he does what he thinks is right and what is necessary to survive, no matter the cost.

History: Ukon was a rogue, until the small group he lived in came across a lone, red fox, which they took in. They grew fond of each other, and when she returned home, he went with her.

Power: Ukon has no power. He is often teased for this, but he puts up with it.

Other: In case you're really stupid, the red fox was Roko.
 
Name: Dustie

Gender: Vixen.

Rank: Healer

Appearance: She is a very orangish-gray. Her paws and tail tip are even lighter, and her fur pattern make it look like her fur is made of pebbles. Her head has a grayish scar the shape of a lightning-bolt.

Personality: Very calm, is never too hyper and seems to always knows what to do. Uses her wisdom of herbs to her advantage.

History: Dustie was born during the spring, in a dusty area. She grew up with her parents, but they were killed. She vowed to learn everything about healing herbs as she could, to prevent other foxes from suffering the same fate.

Power: Limited Psychic abilities, and is able to levetate a few centemeters (I consider it psychic).

Other: I just got a Shaymin! =D
 
Yay~

I think we should start, no not because I want to shift randomly into inanimate objects, no because we can~
 
Aurora called to another warrior. "Storm, do you mind coming on a patrol with me? We need to make sure there are no intruders on the borders. The rogues have been appearing more." She padded towards the edge of the camp, scenting the air. Nothing so far. That was good. The dark brown fox looked over her shoulder for Storm, and then continued out into the territory.

When there was an odd noise in the shadows, she flicked her ears towards it, glaring at the disturbance. There was a small rogue cowering, and she growled, "Show yourself."

It turns out that there were two foxes: one small, orange one, and a larger, sandy orange one.

"What are you doing on Leaf clan territory?" Aurora sharply questioned.

The smaller one cowered, but the large fox stood his ground, claws unsheathed. He cringed into a battle position. As he leaped, Aurora rose onto her hind legs and aimed a bite for his neck. However, she missed, and ended up getting his shoulder just next to the base of his neck. As the fox fell, at least knocked out, his smaller comrade turned tail and fled.

"Serves them right," Aurora snorted, pushing the fox she had just attacked. "He won't die. The bite is shallow. But they've learned their lesson. Hopefully." With that, she turned to storm. "Smell any prey?"
 
((PFFFF- That was quick.))
Storm snorted. Stupid rogues.
"Well, there's a bird overhead, I could go get that," she offered. "Or.. there," she pointed with her snout. "I scent mouse." She blinked at Aurora. "Why didn't you just ice them?"
 
((Sorry...))

"Because ice takes a lot of energy. I save it for real battles."

She pointed her muzzle towards the mouse. "At this point, we should split up. Check the eastern border and meet back here," Aurora directed.

Promptly, the long-furred fox headed west, towards the border she was to mark. The mouse scent was getting stronger, and she was prepared to hunt.

Quickly, she dropped into a crouch, swinging her head from side to side. The mouse scent was directly in front of her. Silently, Aurora stalked her prey, making sure not to cause many vibrations. She was only a few tail-lengths away when she pounced, putting her claws forward. Immediately, the mouse was under her paws, and she dispatched it with a bite to the neck.

((Wolf? =P))
Storm nodded, and looked up at the sun. Okay, east. She faced the sun, and concentrated.. and felt her front paws reshape into wings. Her back legs pulled in, and her tail became feathers... Kestrel. Storm screeched and jumped into the air. Flying was always fun. She called down to Aurora and glided east.
 
((All right. Remember, though, good grammar!

Psst. That means capitalization.

@Dragon: Sorry, I'm used to RPing with wolves rather than foxes.))
 
((*snort* You're forgiven this time And I guess multiple are allowed, since shadow_lugia got hers... So *steal*

Name: ed'Rashtekaresket (or Timeheart, but he'll hurt you)

Gender: Fox, Male (OMFGC DRAGON IS TRYING TU BE MAEL??!?!?!)

Rank: Warrior

Appearance: ed'Rashtekaresket is completely white if you glance at him. On closer inspection, he is a tinge darker on his back, if you stand right beside him with your muzzle on his back. Not that he'll let you. ed'Rashtekaresket has completely black, emotionless eyes. There is no 'twinkle of life' in his eyes, only a faint reflection of light. He is rather big for a fox, standing two tail-lengths at the shoulder. Don't screw with him.

Personality: ed'Rashtekaresket is emotionless, or so he acts. Like a shark, he tears meat and prey apart. He doesn't take sides, or openly express his opinion unless he feels it necessary, which isn't very often. ed'Rashtekaresket is rather cynical, but underneath all of that bull he keeps a spot for caring. He is rather protective of his friends, or specifically, Storm.

History: Normal clan (or Clan) life, he was born, became an apprentice, became a warrior, blah blah. Almost no other fox wanted to associate with him, so Storm is like his only friend. But he wouldn't call her a friend, maybe a partner.

Power: ed'Rashtekaresket is awesome. He needs no power Can breathe underwater.

Other: Yes, I've been reading the Young Wizards series again. I'm on Deep Wizardry =D nuuu Ed why ;_;))
