PLOT

((Fantasy/ Gifted Shifters))
Around the world strange phenomenons have occurred. Humans have been giving birth to children with strange powers, they are able to shift into animals. At first it was no big deal as it was just a few children being born with this strange genetic disease but it quickly spread. The government set up a special area to study these children but it quickly got out of hand as they children got older and got tired of the inhuman treatment. The children used their powers to break free and killed all of the scientists. Shortly after the government stepped in and decided they had to get rid of the children now known as shifters as they were a threat to humans. Seeing as how they were still part human though they couldnt simply kill all of them off so instead they captured them and sent them off to a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to be forgotten. The name of the island which had no name before is now called Aurelia.

Shifters are shipped and dropped off here as soon as they are discovered by military choppers. so ages range from infant to adults as all have been forsaken. If any shifter fights to not be taken to the island he or she is shot and killed immediately so its better to just cooperate. Although upon finding a shifter that is more capable of putting up a fight most tazer them with high voltage electricity as it is one of the biggest weaknesses of the shifters as it causes them to shift from human form to animal form very quickly which is painful as hell and weakens them greatly and usually makes them pass out. ((All shifters will have this one vital weakness))

It is easy to tell if a child will be a shifter or not as each one is born with a unique marking that is as faint as a birth mark but gets darker with age. It is a tribal design of their animal within. Luckily not all parents are cruel enough to turn over their children to the military police so there are several still running around the United States still free and unknown. The mark can appear anywhere on their body so for some its easy to hide but for others it may not be as some may have their mark on their face or neck or hands.

((though most of the plot will take place on the island so its up to you to get your character there unless you want to start your character at the island as having already being there but every shifter has a story so remember that when bringing in your character even if they were born on the island as shifters have shifter children unless able to reproduce with a human which there are none on the island so little change of having a human child sorry. though all shifters are born as a human not puppies, cubs, kittens, so on so forth. ))

On the island there are tons of different types of shifters ranging from dragons to wolves to bears, to swans to seagulls to panthers to zebras to house cats. ((so ANY animal is allowed to be your animal shift form)) Most shifters have divided up into their own little packs and accept their kind amongst them and most shifters get along as long as territory lines are not crossed but pack fights do break out from time to time so in a land of survival of the fittest you have to be careful. The pack leaders are decided by who is the strongest male to be able to lead the others and is usually decided by a fight. some times to the death, sometimes to first blood, and others only to first pin or knockdown or knockout. Each pack is different. Luckily the island is huge and is big enough to house so many different species comfortably. Down the center of the island is a huge forest that covers most of the island and is filled with regular animals which are used for food. The island is very fertile and grows many fruit trees and some vegetables and things as well wildly on its own so shifters have more options of food than just meat but its up to each person to fend for their food once they reach puberty. But most live as animals instead of humans thought its possible to do either. The only areas that are totally off limits to other species is the packs actual living area the rest of the island is neutral ground to hunt, run, explore, mingle, and enjoy the island on. Each pack is responsible to take care of their own. For the most part things go quite smoothly on the island but ever so often trouble does brew so always keep your guard up, ears tuned and eyes open.

At the far south end of the island is where government always drops off the new shifters so a member from each pack usually checks the area when they hear the chopper coming near.

((Also every shifter caught and put on the island is injected with a tiny microchip somewhere on their body which is a tracker so the government always knows where they are just in case they find a way to make it back to the main land. This is a modern day plot set in year 2010. there is no technology on the island as you are dropped off with only the clothes on your back as the military police strip you of any other belongings other than possible jewelry you may be wearing so that will be all you get to keep so dont plan on bringing a concealed gun or knife or cell phone or so one so forth jewelry and clothes are it.))

One more thing I will add to this plot, shifters are allowed to have special powers. They can range making plants grow to controlling elements to levitation of objects. So get creative and give your character some unique abilities to play with. All shifters will have telepathy and mind reading at will because they have to have a way to communicate while in animal form and the mind reading part will just be somethign to mess with each other on from time to time.

Also the ability to control ones powers, animal form, and gaining powers will all depend on age. the more mature and old your shifter the better they can control their shift, control powers and gain powers. I will type out a short chart below to go by.

Pup Stage:
0-12 yrs age, shifter has no control over shift and has tendency to shift when angry 80 percent of the time and must be calmed to shift back to human form. Has no powers yet other than telepathy.

Puberty/Adolescence:
13-19 yrs old, gains some control over shift as you go along as this is a very emotional and hormonal time for you so you tend to shift when you loose control of your emotions and shift to human once you gain control. But the more you do it the better at it you become so by the time you reach 17 and up you should be getting pretty good at controlling it and your emotions. At this stage you also gain the ability to read minds but be wary as some people may not appreciate you doing so. You are also eligible to gain other powers at this stage so everything will be kinda out of whack for you as you learn to control the usual and then have new things pop up to learn to control as well.

Young Adult
20-49 yrs of age, At this point you can control you powers and your shifting so things will start to smooth over in life however its also a time for dating and relationships and having kids and taking your place in the shifter world so now you have new problems to worry about. This time will be a bit of a challenge as you will probably end up in quite a few fights both physical and verbal and if you plan to do somethign big in your life like become leader of the pack then now is the time to do it before yous start to get old.

Mature Adult
50-100 yrs old
You are finally settling down and life is working out pretty good for you so now its time to relax as most of the hard stuff is done and raise a bunch of grand-kids, etc...

Ancient
101 + years
By this time you are old and wise and although you still have some years a head of you. Your powers are matured and mastered and life is all peaches and cream as no one in their right mind would mess with an ancient. But in any case you are old as well so its still wise to be careful.

((this plot is open to as many people who want to join so please feel free to jump in at any time.))

OOC: Oh yeah please post your characters in the Forsaken OOC board

Trista lay unconscious on the sandy shores of Aurelia. She had been caught finally and drug here by the military police all because she had saved a boys life out in the woods near her home as he had wandered off and gotten attacked by a pack of wolves. She had shifted into her animal form, that of a large black panther, and took on the small pack of wolves numbering 7 total as the young boy had stayed standing a short distance away in fear and screaming and crying. His father had come out just in the nick of time to sweep him up into his arms and see her shift into her panther form and take on the wolves. she had won the battle and went to check on the boy but when she looked back she saw the repulsion and fear in the man's eyes as he started backward away from her then ran back to his house and called the authorities on her. Angry at his actions she had retreated and kicked herself for stepping in to help the child as now her house woudl be swarmed with military police by the time she got there. if only she hadnt gone out for a midnight stroll through the forest next to her Montana home.

Her parents had known her entire life of what she was so they understood her need to get out into the wilderness from time to time as they hadnt had the heart to turn her in so they had kept her secret all these years. But now the secret was out. It was a long walk home and as she came up on the edge of the forest she stopped as she saw the vehicles already in her driveway and men at the door of their house confronting her parents.

She had stayed there hidden by the forests edge listening to all that was goign on as they threatened to arrest her parents if they didnt cooperate and tell them of her whereabouts which her parents honestly told them they didnt know but had said she had gone walking in the forest and pointed in her direction where she was hidden. Several men shined flashlights in her direction as some came her way to search for her while 2 stayed at the door with her parents who were very upset at what had happened.

Trista knew better than to stay any longer but as she turned to run, her foot snapped a branch which got the attention of the men searching for her. Cursing under her breath as one of them shined his flashlight right at her, she quickly shifted and took off into the forest, running as fast as she could as she heard her mother scream NO on the night air at realizing what was happening. She had taken them on a long chase but in the end they had somehow managed to corner her and hit her with the tazers. She had never been in more pain her her life than the moment the tazers sent high amounts of electricity through her body and forced her to shift back and forth at an excruciating rate. Luckily she passed out a short while after being hit as she couldn't handle the pain.

She had come to a long while later with her right shoulder burning a bit as the rest of her body ached. looking around she realized she was on board a chopper with her hands and feet tied tightly with rope which was cutting into her flesh and she was surrounded by 5 men in army uniforms all of which held guns and tazers. The bastards had quickly realized she was awake and shot her again as the chopper began to land. Just as they pushed her out of the chopper she passed out once again, still tied up and still banged up from her encounter with the wolves and then with them as the tazers had left painful burn marks on her. Now she was at the mercy of whoever found her, if anyone ever did before she would eventually wake up.

Fear....Coldness....Tired...

Words perfectly describe Miles's situation right now. He lay underneath a hole covered by a fallen tree, which only he could seem to crawl into. Miles had been on the island for about a year now, and most of his 'activates' was hunting for bunnys and other small animals. He hated his new life-style, and was only a feeble child in this situation.

He slowly crawled out of his hole, and began looking for food quietly. As he creep, emerged behind him was a pack of wolves, mutants like him. They wouldn't kill poor Miles, but bullying him was something they enjoyed now and then. He accidently shaped in his fox kit form, and gave a small, kit-like growl at them. The 'leader' gave a bark of laughter, and pounced Miles. He landed on him, and began scracthing him up with his slight claws. The only escape for Miles, was faking his death. He slowed his bloodstream, his heartrate, his breathing 'stopped', and his eyes looked up lifeless. Miles even created a small puddle of blood, to fool the wolves into thinking he was dead.

They all looked at them stunned, even the leader, not knowning they actually 'killed' him. The pack, slowly began to walk past him, feeling a tad bit guilty, and some of them turned into their human forms, and began to explore better with the usage of a extra thumb.

[theblackrose]

Trista awoke at the sound of a slight commotion not far away as she tried to clear her head of the dizziness the tazers had caused her. Wincing abit at her depleted strength at the moment, she forced herself to stand as she steadied herself and looked around.

Several of the pack scouts were approaching as Trista came awake and watched her as they had ignored the little skirmish as it was normal on the island. "Ooh another panther shifter, Steele with love this." Quinn, a panther shifter mumbled some as he smiled at her and watched the other scouts go to leave as he approached her. "Hey looks like you had a bad day at the commando bar" he joked some.

Trista rolled her eyes at him "yeah sure you can call it that. So where the heck am I, what's going on, and who are you smarty arty?" she inquired a bit grumpy at the moment as she was still aching from the encounters she had had with the tazers and all.

Quinn laughed. "I'm Quinn a fellow panther, those guys over there leaving are the scouts of other shifter types. We always come check this area when we hear choppers as it tells us there is a new arrival, this island we have come to call Aurelia, the home of shifters. What is your name?"

"Trista" she said simply as she looked him over then glanced at the others leaving "great not the vacation spot i would have chosen but i guess it wil have to work for now" she said with a bit of sarcasm.

"come on I'll take you back to the rest of the pack and we can get you settled in and cleaned up." Quin said as he waited for her as he turned to leave.

Trista started to go withhim until she noticed the poor dead fo in the underbrush of the nearby forest as she had very keen eyesight. "Poor guy, who would hurt such a small creature... wait never mind dont answer that.. that second round of tazers has fried my brain." she said as she felt sorry for the little fox but knew there wasnt anything she could do for him so she started to follow after Quinn for now who was now laughing at her.

Tibarn was perched on the rooftop of a nearby decaying building; he could do that being an eagle. He knew what was going on they were containing them because they were freaks of nature. Hell they were more in key with nature then the rest of them. He was watching a young boy at about 7 to 11 year old crawl out of a very small looking hole. But that was where the boy’s problems seemed to start as a gang of what looked like wolves were sneaking up behind him. Tibarn began to circle them to get a better view of what was going on, it was almost completely natural now, flying in this form, though he was still getting the hang of flying in his normal form. The boy took a form of a small fox and stood up to the leader Tibarn appreciated his courage as it was a lacking personality trait in the present, though he was not sure if it was truly courage or adrenaline.

The leader of the pack jumped on top of the boy and looked to be attacking him; Tibarn in response took a dive not making noise to make sure he was seeing it properly. He was. The boy began to bleed throughout his body in small puddles. He was dead. Tibarn dove again but this time very purposely aiming straight for the leader of the pack digging his talons into the fur off the wolf and throwing it. He immediately shifted into his human form and yelled at them causing a great gust of wind to blow from behind him directly at the wolves scaring them off. He looked down at the boy and sighed he picked him up and walked over to the nearest tree and laid him down in the shade. He knelt beside him and closed his eyes silently praying.

[TunaticTyler]

Miles lay completely still, almost giving the sense of death. He still stared to the sky, emotionless. He heard someone yell, and felt a presence pick him up. He didn't dare move, but from what he was observing, it appeared to be a man in his late fortys to earlier fiftys. The man carried Miles, laid him against a tree, and appeared to be praying.

He decided he might as well play a slight prank on him for fun, seeing that this man seemed friendly to him. Miles opened his eyes once more, as he was praying, to 'play' with him. He slightly twitched as well for a few seconds, but then lay completely still once more.

[theblackrose]

Trista, noticing the eagle shifter taking the little fox over by a tree and praying over him decided to wait on going back to the so called pack with Quinn as she watched from a slight distance. Noting the small movement she gave a curious look in the direction of the fox and stood there watching silently for now to see what was going on as the fox had appeared dead but now he twitched, now that was a bit strange.

"Are you coming?" Quinn asked noticing her stop following him.

"Shhh, in a minute, yeah sure" She grumbled to him in a whispered voice as she continued to watch the scene and ignore Quinn.

[LonelyWanderer]

Tibarn saw the boy twitch and recoiled back, he was sure that the boy was dead. He stood over him and observed him a little confused. He had never seen anyone twitch after dying and in the line of business he previously had he expierienced death quite a bit, but not like this. He decided he'd watch the boy just in case he did show any signs of recovery.

"Are you ok, son?" Tibarn said cautiously watching him deciding whether or not to poke him.

[TunaticTyler]

Miles began to slightly panick, sure, he thought it was slightly funny two seconds ago, but now it seemed like a stupid idea. He was surpised he was still in his kit form, but it didn't matter to him. Miles brainstormed to get out of this situation, and fast. He shot his eyes open and ran away on all fours, still in his kit form for some strange reason.

[LonelyWanderer]

Tibarn watched the boy dart away and he laughed to himself a little. He looked over to him and concentrated on the boy in the air and sure enough when he opened his eyes he was lifting the boy in the air. He used his telekenisis to bring the boy to him and he sat down leaning on the tree. "So what's your name son?" Tibarn said casually knocking on the tree an apple fell in his lap.

[theblackrose]

Trista shook her head at the small specticle as she watched and was surprised to see the little fox just up and run away all of a sudden. "ok now that was beyond strange" she said more to herself than to anyone as she then headed over towards the eagle shifter as he then caught the fox. "nice trick you have there little one" she said in a soft voice as she approached the 2 of them and gave them both a smile.
