Secret Planz

[Kage Davies]

Pffff okay, not so secret. This is the information you need if you want to be involved in Kage's big RP event.

If you want to take part, you must have MSN messenger.
Its free, easily downloadable and you can access it from the web if you don't want to install it on your computer. The reason this is running in MSN is to keep the speed going. RPing via IM is different to forum based RPing.

You need to be available to IM at weekends for a couple of hours a week. We can figure out when after I know when people are available.

There are three or four spaces for players open. You can still ask to join after the game has started.

There are AWESOME prizes up for grabs, for taking part and for certain actions and discoveries in the plot. Still interested? Read on.

To join the game, simply add [e-mail] to your MSN contact list, and come talk to me about your character sheet.
I am more than happy to go through the whole thing step by step. Its easy, I promise. It won't take long.

PRIZES INCLUDE: A new pet, or getting an existing pet to a special stage. Items, a collectable plushie and more.....

Rules

~ Try to get in one post each before the GM replies, not more and not less. Please. This avoids confusion when there are lots of players, and means you don't get forgotten .
~ Change your MSN font to something different but readable. This makes it easier to see who's posting.
~ ONE character each.
~ Every action your character makes is an attempt at an action. So instead of hitting the wall, they head over to try to hit the wall etc. The GM will tell you if you suceed or not.
~ Don't be mean to the GM or she'll squash you with a tree.
~ You don't need to have prior rping experience. The GM will go over everything with you beforehand so don't be afraid to ask questions.
~ Although we're keeping it clean, we might stray into serious plot territory, so keep swearing and gore to a minimum but expect some possible adult topics.

That's it for now.

Character Sheet

Likely we're going to see some combat, so I need everyone to be on an even keel. This is going to be fairly simple; don't be scared by the text its just because there are options to choose from .

Name:
Self explainatory .

Gender:
Male/Female

Age:
Young, adult or old basically.

Species:
You basically have two options;
~ Choose a pet you already own. As a reward for participating as long as you stay till the end, your pet will be automatically awarded a special stage such as elder or runner. Fill out the rest of the info to match.
~ Create a new pet. You can choose a normal animal, pre existing chimaera species or you can create your own combination. If you're going to create your own chimaera species it needs a name, and its components have to be detailed (what animals is it based from?). As a reward for participating as long as you stay till the end, your pet will be created for you, even the ones that are your own species. Think carefully before you decide!

Appearance
Cover eye colour, fur colour, markings. If your character is a new species you need to carefully describe what it looks like.

Stats
Very simple. You get 10 points to divide between these attributes, and that's all the maths you'll have to do . Its so the GM has an idea of what's important to your pet's character.
Speed:
Strength:
Intelligence:
Intuition:

Learned Skills
You can choose one learned skill for your character. This is something that they've learned to do, not something that comes naturally. For example, good hearing is a natural trait; where as tracking is a learned ability. If you have trouble with this, feel free to come to the GM for suggestions.

Natural Traits
These are the things your character gets naturally from being what it is. You should have three or four. They should be things like, fast running, good hearing, advanced sense of smell etc. Think about what animals your chimaera is made up of, and what they are good at.

Special Skills
The fun ones. You can pick three special skills for your character to have, like advanced or magical powers. You can pick pretty much anything, as long as you give it a name, and describe what it does. And how it works, if possible. If you have trouble with this, feel free to come to the GM for suggestions.

History
Some background details for your character. It doesn't have to be an essay, but try to cover where they come from and what motivates them etc.

There you go. Its not as complex as it looks. If you want, you can MSN me and I'll go through the whole thing with you.

[Kage Davies]

Okee, example;

Name: China
Gender: female
Age: sub adult
Species: wolf
Appearance: White under fur with silverish ticking, darker at the ears, muzzle and paws. She has yellow eyes, and is still very leggy since she hasn't filled out completely yet.

Stats ~
Speed: 3
Strength: 2
Intelligence: 2
Intuition: 3

Learned Skills:
~ City tracking. She can follow a human or an animal through the city, much like a wild wolf might in the forest.

Natural Traits:
~ Keen hearing
~ Good sense of smell
~ Thick protective coat
~ Basic hunting skills

Special Skills
~ Advanced Hunting Skills
~ Call to family. A howl that can be heard by friends and allies much further than normal.
~ Nasty Bite. Her bite is stronger than that of a normal wolf, and has a greater chance of leading to an infection.

History:
China's pack are urbanites who live within the confines of the city. They keep the rat problem down around the hotel quarter, and the grateful resterauntiers pay them wtih high quality scraps. Its said that if they are not paid, they will herd the rats into the offending buidling.

China has lived with her family her whole life. She has been somewhat sheltered by her father and her mother sees her as competition for the next pack alpha. She is starting to wander further from the pack as she nears adulthood, looking for a suitable mate and escaping her mother's watchful eye.

See? That took me 20 minutes . Its easy, promise.
