Anima (A unique anthro world)

[Too Old 4 This]

ANIMA

The Wolf Nation, the Pack Authority, extends its reach by iron, musket and fang ever farther across the world.

Otters delve the deep in diesel submarines, desperate to keep their technology from species who would misuse it.

Connecting all four continents, a slave trade carries enshackled Marsupials to hopeless servitude or slow agonizing death.

Meanwhile, in the frozen evergreen forests of the frigid north the Wolverine clans vie for dominance awaiting the next Khan to lead them to war

The Anima role play details the diverse world of Arktoros, a world populated by talking animals granted sentience by their souls or anima. Players in this game will be able to choose from one of multiple species to build their character. Among these are the militaristic wolves, the tribal cats, the ingenious otters, the savage wolverines, the nomadic ravens, the oppressed marsupials, the elegant foxes and more. The story will be group focused where events will force players to work together and put aside their differences to survive and steer the Ark toward a brighter future.

Feel free to post any questions or just verify interest here. Expect to see an official OOC with more details soon.

Hmm, consider this tentative interest ^.^

I love the initial concept, but I'd like to know more about the idea

Hi! My name is squittens. I'm one of the co-authors for the RP. :) Is there anything specific you would like to know? Or just things in general?

@Squittens

Well, I guess a good place to start is why all of the individual groupings of animals wind up needing to work together, does something catastrophic happen? Or is it all just WIP?

@Eveekitten

All the animals are going to be prisoners on a wolf ship, or wolves that are members of the crew on that ship. So almost any animal could be on that ship, either an actual prisoner or if they've been framed. So it would work even despite diverse backgrounds.

I could be interested, I like fulffier RPs >3> though I don't know jack about the setting [unless you invented the name and such, then it doesn't matter if I don't know XD] but I 'am' curious about non-standard, but 'not' mythological nor prehistoric, species that occasionally appear in anthro things, liiiike, sergals for instance... entirely predictably I love those fluffy bastards >w> [If i were to sum them up tweaked for the setting, they might be some kind of northern rival for the wolverine's, another opposing tribe/clan that's also aggressive and dangerous XD], or, ya know, snakes and other reptiles, or is it just furred creatures?

@Shoryu

So far the only nonmammal that is canon are the Ravens who will be a nomadic race of opportunistic traders who drift about the world on floating rookeries.

The norm for noncannon species is that they must be based on a real mammal species and have a good write up that fits into the world. If it helps consider it to be the same as the difference between a casual and advanced submission. We'll also probably only allow one unique as we want the more common species to appear in the group.

IC/OOC is up btw.

Ah, I see!... I can do that easily enough >3> People already tend to compare Sergals to wolves... or sharks... Oooh, there's an idea >3> some semi-aquatic tribal pirate setup, a bother for a 'couple' of species around that area >3>... I might write up a couple different versions to see if one appeals more than another.

@Shoryu

One possibility is a rogue wolf pack member. I don't want to present the wolves as completely unified and there will certainly be rogue packs which act as pirates or brigands.

[Hawlin]

Ah, so there's only a select amount of species to choose from?

(Also interested :o )

[bleedingwords]

Interested!

@Hawlin

Yes and no. We'll allow an unlisted new species if it is well written. But probably only one so not everyone is playing something weird. Also keep in mind that the species are very loosely defined. There is lots of wiggle room within them. Every cat tribe will be unique for example and the Bunyip (marsupials) actually include lots of species (wombat, wallaby, koala, etc.).

[Too Old 4 This]

Interested!

@bleedingwords

Thanks. Check out the OOC
