“To succeed in life, one must have a good education”


The land has long since been dominated by mankind; brutish race of hairless apes who pride themselves on their intelligence and elegance. Their influences reaches to all corners of the continent, and looms oppressively over the ‘lesser beastkin’ who endlessly toil the lands and work their little hearts out until their dying breath.

A whole century has passed since the Great Conquest which swept across the land, annihilating several species, and enslaving many more. Those who submitted to the rule of man where allowed to remain with their families and tame their lands… though the ludicrous tax rate meant every day was a struggle that could be their last. There may be an occasional uprising from time to time, but the royal police force; The Templar are quick to suppress any public dissent amongst the lowly ‘tribes.’

The King however seemingly has had a change of heart as of late, and a royal decree was issued allowing beastkin to attend the educational institutes which have until now, been exclusively the right of those born as human. While many beastkin would have initially scoffed at the idea; but those who graduate an Academy are rewarded a citizenship which puts them on equal footing as their human counterparts. Those who do exceptionally well may even be appointed magistrates of their own region; allowing them to make life changing decisions such as development and taxation. Whether you like it or not, the reward is just too great for you, or your people. And hence you’ve made your merry way to the human Capitol; Almaston.


This Roleplay will be set in a Fantasy World where mankind has taken over the world. A scattering of various races remain in their rural communities though, and although the Beastkin toil day and night, they’re constantly on the brink of poverty due to taxes and oppression. Your character is one of the beastkin; as they’re name implies, beastkin are a broad collection of races which have been lumped together due to their animal-like features. Most prominently this involves a pair of animal ears, and a tail… though other parts can be negotiated. Additionally your character has been enrolled at Hartricht Academy in exchange for a hefty sum of money. Formerly an exclusively human establishment, a change of laws have given your character the opportunity of a lifetime. Unfortunately being an inferior race means prejudice will await them at every corner, and the road to graduation will most certainly be a bumpy one.

Quick Notes:
-I’d prefer people who are able to post several times a week.
-I’d prefer people who can write a sizeable paragraph per post.
-I’d prefer people who can be creative, but sensible in their ideas.

-Players will exclusively be "Kemonomimi" Character, more commonly known as Neko's.
(Google it if you don't know what that is).
-I’d like at least 4~6 people interested before I move this onward to an OoC.

I was just about to ask if we were allowed to play humans but then I did this thing called reading all the way to the end and now I don't have a question only a realization that this is outside of my usual wheelhouse but it's because of that that I'm willing to give it a go and now this sentence is a run on but I don't even care.

That's a shame since I generally tend to like people who do that thing called "reading all the way to the end." xD

I considered opening up a few human slots, and may still do so... but I'd like to give priority to those who'll play the characters cast I'm looking for. If there's an excess of players, I may open up one or two human slots, but they'll have to be poor social outcasts too, since I don't want to two tier this to focus on different groups.

Run on sentences are evil!
Either that or I'm too tired for my own good, completely misread/misinterpreted your first post xD
Good to have the first expression of interest. Hopefully the others will follow on soon.

Haha, good to hear that someone's excited.
I should be too... but it's 4AM and I haven't slept...
So I'm not going to put up the character sheet yet, it'll be pretty standard though.

If you're wanting to think ahead, I guess the two things I'd suggest thinking about are;
- What was the village/town your character grew up in like? How was your character perceived by locals?
- What are your characters aspirations? Are they attending for themselves, their family? Do they even want to be there? etc.

And of course personality.
I should probably also mention that I'd highly prefer images over written descriptions.
I'm not saying descriptions won't be accepted, but I do think a character looks better when they have a reference image to go off.

Just to be clear, I'm looking for characters that fit into category 1, and maybe 2 on the chart below.


As for me... I'm going to go pass out for three hours. Stupid life xD

I could use to cut loose with something simple.

Though my question is if this is just a catgirl RP or if we can play as something more... interesting. Perhaps if our character were shapechangers, ala the White Wolf "Werewolf" games...

I would prefer there be some variety in the cast of characters, as having a cast of all catgirls/boys would be a bit boring. Canines, Lizards, Horses, Rabbits, etcetc I don't even mind people being a bit bizzarre and going with something like jellyfish as long as they can pull it off.

@Dead Cruiser
I'm not familiar with "White Wolf "Werewolf" games" but I can say straight out that a shapechanger would definitely not be acceptable. They simply aren't in the scope of characters I'm looking for.

@shaitarn
There always has to be at least one snarky guy/girl in every cast, you may be that one~ xD

I was referring to the line of tabletop RPGs by White Wolf, Werewolf: the Apocalypse and Werewolf: the Forsaken. What I was suggesting was that our characters be able to shift between bestial or humanoid shapes, or varying levels in between. In the games I was referencing werebeasts (or Fera) have as many as five forms: completely human, bestial human, human/animal hybrid, primal animal and completely animal.

@Dead Cruiser
I've always avoided tabletop roleplays for some reason, and hence I have to admit I'm still not familiar with what you're trying to reference. However, my original statement still stands in that I will not will be accepting ShapeShifters/ShapeChangers. To clarify; all characters will start with one form, and only have that one form throughout the roleplay. Unfortunately this is non-negotiable, as I can't foresee multiple forms being used effectively, or even acceptably in the roleplay I have planned.

While we're still one short of the minimum requirement, I've decided to put up a character application sheet in hopes that a few good applications will win a few more people over :P
The sheet can be found in the first post of this thread.

I'll also include a example character submission below.
The character will be an NPC during the roleplay.




Name: Waldo Maria’Shante Du Blanche
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Animal: Human
Height: 5’10” (178cm)
Hair Color: Walnut Brown
Eye Color: Mocha Brown

Personality:
Boisterous: A loud exuberant man with a constant hunger to be admired. Being a narcissist he absolutely loves talking about himself and showing off his luxurious wealth and power to any who are able to listen.
Collector: Waldo is a collector of all the fine things in life; from paintings and sculptures, to tea-sets and beastkin. He’s extremely fond of all things that are his, but in exchange is quite immature and hostile towards those who don’t provide him with what he wants.

Background:
Waldo Maria’Shante Du Blanch is a proud nobleman, and is the current sitting head of the prestigious Du Blanche family. Renown amongst his peers as a rambunctious man with a huge appetite, and a lover of the fine arts, he’s not quite liked amongst nobility circles, but the amount of political influence he wield combined with the immeasurable wealth he owns makes him a presence which simply can’t be ignored.

According to rumours, Waldo was one of the key figures who drafted and supported the idea of Beastkin attending schools. His enthusiasm was so great that he offered himself as both a caretaker and an instructor to the lesser races. Despite his passionate actions, he perceives beastkin to be nothing more than pretty trinkets which would make a fine addition to his personal collection. No one really knows why such a selfishly arrogant man decided to propose equality of beastkin, but those who know him unanimously agree he has ulterior motives.
