There is a mutation, passed down among women. For the most part, this mutation lies dormant. Waiting. But at one crucial moment, during pregnancy, the mutation becomes active. It will stay active for 24 hours. If, during those 24 hours, the pregnant woman comes into contact with an animal, the mutation will latch onto that animal's DNA and the child will be born a demi.

Those carrying the mutation are rare. Demis are even more rare. However, rare though they be, the demis are dangerous. If they choose the wrong path, they could wreak untold destruction. And so they are rounded up before their third year, taken from their parents and raised in a government facility. They are disciplined harshly whenever they break the rules, and otherwise left alone.

Until they turn 15, the only companion they have is an animal of the kind that donated DNA to the demis. Then, the day after their birthday, they are taken away, to a training facility. There, the demis are turned into soldiers for the government. Whether they do so willingly matters not; one way or another, these teenagers are turned into weapons.

However, the existence of demis is not as secret as the government assumes. The mothers know. They spread the word. Many believed that what the government did was right, but one woman started a movement. She is gathering men and women to her banner, swearing them to secrecy, and planning an uprising. A coup. These revolutionaries will rise against the government, tear them down, and free the demis.

This woman is a mother of demis, and she wants her children back. She will free them and all like them, come hell or high water. She is known only by the name Elpis. Hope. For it is her goal to be Hope for the demis.

That is not all. The demis themselves have grown tired of isolation followed by near slavery. They are planning their own revolution, to overthrow the human government and replace it with a demi council. They are armed, trained, dangerous... and they will not fail.



So, what do you think?

I could definitely be interested in something like this, assuming we won't be limited to household pets?
I'm thinking more along the lines of bears and lions rather than unicorns and dragons (Things you could come across at the zoo).

Just to be clear though, how old can the characters be?
I saw that characters get moved to the training facility at 15 (and I'm assuming that's where the characters will be). But is there a limit on how much older a character is? Or should they all be in their teens?

@Arista Thank you for your interest!~

@Rakurai Your character can be a demi-whatever, as long as you can come up with a plausible story for how it happened. As for the age range, I'm gonna say somewhere around 15-25 - old enough to be trained, but too young to be sent out yet.

@LadyTale I believe this is what he meant furries or anthros whichever you prefer to call them.

Hmm, I suppose I'm fine either way...
But I was pretty certain that the title, and name of the race indicated that the characters would be 'Demi'-human.
I could post up an image, but I guess my own avatar on the side there would also suffice. :/

@Rakurai is right - our characters will have a blend of human and animal characteristics, but appear more human than otherwise. For example:

Human build, face, hands, and feet
Animal ears, senses, tails, wings, and some fur
Human intelligence, speech, and emotions
Animal reflexes, abilities, and weapons - a demi-poison dart frog, for example, would have the poison of the frog

I hope that clears everything up~ I'll start work on making this RP later today.
