A Time After Men - A Realistic Animal Roleplay

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

A Time After Men

This Topic Has Moved

• The universe is intended to be set in a post apocalyptic near future within the remains of the United States of America, specifically the regions nearest Texas and Oklahoma. While mostly a science fiction plot as it includes animals with near or human-like intelligence, there are intended to be elements unexplained.
  
  • With regard to story, the timeframe is set around the 2040s to the 2050s, with the majority of more advanced human technology having been destroyed by a massive solar flare. Shortly thereafter, the eruption of a super volcano created a cooler habitat that resulted in mass destruction and eventual famine with disease then becoming rampant. The resulting die-off of the human population has created a world where some legacy elements of mankind exist, to include the rare human themselves and many of the modified animals they left behind.
• Generally, the plot is mostly based around the survival and conflict of the characters. While not a "slice of life" roleplay, realism will be a notable focus, and side characters of note will be provided where appropriate if need be to instigate or motivate.
• This is a primarily animal based roleplay, where the player characters have the opportunity to play major predatory mammals. Be them wolves, tigers, bears and even previously extinct beasts or even one of the few surviving human beings.
  
  • It is worth noting that not all animals are made equal; surviving human beings still retain access to firearms, but they find themselves in a world that is devoid of their forefathers' comforts and filled with dangers. Just as so, a lone wolf is no match for a tiger or bear, and even a pack of wolves is in grave danger.
  • Major characters, such as player characters, are assumed to be intelligent, but this is not a requirement. Most animals are merely mundane otherwise. This does not mean however, that different species may communicate. "Subtitles" for communication between similar animals replaces dialogue where appropriate.
  • It is assumed human technology is understood in many different perspectives by these beasts, as some might view it as what it is, while others might perceive it as relics of lost eras.
• The intent is to have no more than five roleplayers present. Those who are active are expected to be capable and competent with not only the English language, but a Casual to Casual-Advanced writing and posting level. The posts themselves, and individuals posting, should expect violence and more mature themes or issues to arise. As typical, explicit adult themes must be carried out strictly in Private Messages.
• The roleplay itself, should it find sufficient interest here, would start no later than early April.
• Below, please state your comments, interest, questions or concerns.

@Kaylan The Lioness, @Zverda, here is the topic we discussed.

[Zverda]

As you well know, I would be happy to partake in this RP. It will give me more motivation to flesh my Xenos out and change her where needed.

[Kaylan The Lioness]

I am here

[Belwicket]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity Seems like an awesome idea But I don't think I'll be up for it. Hope you get enough people.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Thank you for your vote of confidence, @Belwicket, I am most appreciative of it.

For those viewing, we could use a few other players, as thus far we have three large cats including myself, meaning three more actual slots are open.

[Kaylan The Lioness]

I am bumping this myself.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

For all the animal roleplays I have ever seen here among the Guild, @Kaylan The Lioness, I am surprised this has not seen more activity.

[Kaylan The Lioness]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity It's really making me sad.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

At worst, I will post it to the Casual section's Interest Checks this weekend, @Kaylan The Lioness.

[Zetsuko]

I might just be interested in this.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

@Zetsuko, it certainly could benefit from more interested persons. I only need but a few to begin the check itself.

[RedNightHunter]

This sounds cool is this casual?

[Lmpkio]

I've been lurking around for sometime in this RP... I'm interested.

(Also Harbringer, that is one badass Sabertooth. Makes me want to play one or something lol)

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Yes, you can find the new Interest Check in the Casual category here, @RedNightHunter.

@Lmpkio

I am pleased to hear your interest! We could always use more.

As for Actual, I am quite fond of him and other sabertooths as a whole, and thus far, there's quite a few it seems that might even be in this roleplay.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

Indeed.

I might be one of its "relatives" if anything (Ex: Thylacosimilus), otherwise I may go for like a Cave Bear or something. (Would also be cool to make a Megalania character. That I think would be wicked cool even though its simply a giant Komodo Dragon-ish)
