Hello everyone, I'm Sagacity, and this the first RP I'll create on the site.

In case you couldn't tell from the name of this Roleplay, it's based around bears. Why bears, you ask? I'll tell you later. All PCs will be bears, including you. You're a bear. You come from a forest just outside a human civilization. It's green and brown, mostly because it's a forest. I'll tell you something else. The forest you live in is filled with bears of all kinds, and they're separated not by species, but by Classes. Each bear represents a Class, Grizzly bears for example are Warriors, or 'Barbarians', though they uphold civilized standards.

However, the bears stand united as a single species, uncaring of the differences in species. Much like the filthy humans have different races, so do the bears. They coexist as a single bear species, when in reality they are divided by abilities, split into 'Camps' based on their racial traits. Therefore, bears engaging in inter-species breeding in this forest is rare, if not impossible. Mixed bears have been seen, with weakened racial traits of the races of both their parents. They're known as 'half-breeds', and, as I've said, are rare.

One day, your elder council - made up of elders of every bear species - informed you of the threat the humans posed to the forest. Deforestation, pollution and poaching would cause the bears to lose their home and their lives along with it. To counter this, the council decided upon a single solution - to take over the human civilization in any way possible. Using the abilities of the bears, a select group of individuals working together in a 'party' would take over the human civilization to avoid/prevent the oncoming thread. They know they have to succeed, otherwise they will fall, and so will all the other bears in the forest.

How they try to take over the civilization, on the other hand, is up to you. Customize your party of bear species based on your idea, as some combination of bear species are better suited for some plans more than others, and may fail completely at the task at hand. How will you win this game? It's up to you, use your creativity in ways unimaginable to others.

Sidenote: It is possible to fail, just a heads up.

Protip
-You should try to coordinate your Bear combinations here as well as your plan for victory so you have a better chance of success.

Some things you should take note of:
-If you want to attempt to complete an action, type in your roleplaying talky talky then, at the end of your post, in a quotebox, type in what your finalized decision for an action is.
-There's no respawning or making a new character when you die.
-You can ask for random stat loadouts.
-Your age may have effects on your game, therefore if you desire a 'normal', 'vanilla' experience for this game, select ages from 7-8. Remember, most bears live only up to 25 y/o and start breeding at 7-8, therefore 7-8 is the pubescent age.
-You can have as many bears of a species as you want in your combination, AKA a full Warrior team is always an idea.
-I will PM you any Skills you attain.
-In the OOC chat, please put in a quotebox any point placements you want after leveling up and gaining 2 points. You may not remove points, only add them.
-PLayers act in Turns in the order of when they signed up (first who signed up move first).
-Accuracy (aka whether an attack hits or not) are determined by a d10. If you roll a 1, it's a Critical Fail, and the next attack to hit you will deal x2 damage. If you roll a 2-5, it's a Fail, and you don't hit. If you roll a 6-9, it's a Hit, and you will hit. If you roll a 10, it's a Critical Hit, and you will deal x2 damage.

How do the class/races even work?

Polar Bears would fit better into the Barbarian catergory, IMO, given that they're the biggest species of bear alive today and kill pretty much anything that isn't a female bear in heat. Grizzlies would make better hunters/trappers given that they're melee fighters that sneak around in forests and aren't batduke crazy enough to run around trying to tank everything. I'm assuming that Panda Bears are monks, because of course they'd be monks, and sun bears would be mages, because those guys look magical as hell, yo. Or maybe they'd be healers, because they've mastered the art of honey.

Spectacled bears would make great necromancers, on account of the fact that they always wear spooky voodoo makeup. Sloth bears would be good diplomats because they only eat bugs. Then again, Pandas are vegetarians (or scavengers, sometimes) but they would obviously be better at mauling the crap out of things. Maybe Sloth Bears would make good bards, on account of the fact that they have big ears...

Koala bears, being the smelly, despicable little gits they are, would obviously be the rogues in this situation, and raccoons, since they're distantly related, would be like gnomes... But that's already been sorted out in a way that makes slightly more sense. Sounds like it'd be fun, though. If I had the time...

@Jerkchicken Each bear species has its own Skills that enable it to fulfill its roles, as well as distinct 'Basic Attack' damage (Basic Attacks are, well, Basic Attacks that aren't Skills) and defenses.
@Sombrero Good ideas, but- koalas aren't bears, and neither are raccoons. Glad you think it'd be fun, though. I'll re-assign Classes if I feel like it. I've also added secret roles (which you will not be informed of) and added a Necromancer. Finally, if you'd like, I have reasons why I assigned each role to each bear.

Grizzly Bear - Warrior: It's a generic bear.
Panda Bear - Cleric: It's Chinese, also China has its own mythology.
Sunbear - Rogue: Smallest bear in existence (besides Waterbears).
Sloth Bear - Monk: Its fluffy tufts of hair make it look like a monk??? (source: google images)
Spectacled Bear - Sorcerer: Glasses = magical
Polar Bear - Paladin: They're big, they're protective, and I guess to me snow is like cooling and shit so = it heals? my logic is weird
North American Black Bear - Runemaster: They mark trees with claws and teeth = secret runes. omg I discovered the next conspiracy
Asiatic Black Bear - Druid: I guess the Asians are very in touch with nature (because rice farming- wait that's racist even though I'm Asian- AUTORACISM!), therefore they must be Druids of some sort.
Giant Short-faced Bear - Necromancer: They're extinct.
