Long ago, beings called Origins inhabited the world along with the humans. They had the ability to appear human with creature like attributes, or that of a very unique creature. Some considered them to be gods and worshiped them, and others kept a wary eye on them at all times.
As time passed, less and less of these beings were seen, and now, in the age of castles and kings, only 7 are known to remain; although their exact location remains a mystery, except to one human. This human, a seer, tells the king in front of his guests at a dinner, that he can see the continued prosperity of the kingdom. However, it will only continue to prosper, should an Origin be captured and used as a symbol that the kingdom is not to be challenged. After all, some of the Origins were known to have creature forms taller than the trees that surrounded the castle.
Once he heard that, the king, who was getting rather bored with tournaments and jousting matches, declared that whoever brought an Origin back to him would become his heir. Be they man or woman, he cared not. After making this announcement, the king ordered the seer to announce the locations of the remaining Origins to the kingdom the following day. Not wanting to disobey the king, but not wanting the beings to be found without a bit of difficulty, the seer gave hints and clues as to their whereabouts.
The farthest away, a pair of Origins, twins, reside in a place of wet fog and whispers. The sister, a mix of crow and fox, has hair as red as the burning skies and wings softer than any silk ever produced. Her Origin abilities lie with her superior hearing, locating lost things, and can communicate with her twin even if he is hundreds of miles away. A trait she discovered when her brother was kidnapped as a child and, once he was found and their father ripped apart the woman responsible with his teeth, the two were never separated again. Her brother, a mix of crow and bat, has hair blacker than a moonless night and the seer spoke of the haunting, soul destroying quality of his burnt amber eyes. His abilities lie with his way above average intelligence, which allows him to create almost anything asked of him without much trouble, he can also communicate with crows and they will obey him, and lastly, he can emit a screech that will temporarily deafen anyone or anything that is too close. The girl takes the form of a 6 foot tall red fox with feathers instead of fur, and her brother a 3 foot tall crow with leathery skin.
The third lies in molten heat at the top of a mountain. She is a mix of Leopard and Dragon and her orange hair blends in with the fire around her. Her abilities are such that she can completely immerse herself in boiling water and be unharmed, and can heat up everything around her to an unbearable level, as well as turning anything she touches to ash. As a creature, she takes the form of a 5 foot tall Leopard with spikes jutting out of the back of her neck, legs, and tail, along with molten fire inside her mouth.
The fourth, and possibly the most vicious, resides in a place of dripping echoes. A mix of Wolf and Snake, he only needs to sniff something once to be able to tell you exactly where someone is, can inject venom into someone via his sharp fingernails, fangs, or by simply pouring one of his concoctions down your throat. Despite all of his power though, he has a major downfall. He has to maintain a constant temperature above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, or his body will completely shut down, which is why he keeps his pack of wolves nearby to keep him warm. His creature form is that of a 7 foot tall wolf with scales covering his entire body, and long venom filled fangs. As a human his hair is a soft golden brown, and hisses instead of growls when he is angered.
The fifth is surrounded by green and the sounds of insects. Having the blood of both Bear and Deer, he is incredibly territorial and is prone to taking incredibly long naps. Despite this, he can persuade anyone to do anything he asks simply by looking them in the eye, can sense underground traps, and can be gone in the blink of an eye if you aren't watching. In creature form he is an 8 foot tall bear with a deer tail and 4 foot long antlers on his head. As a human, he is 6 foot 7 of solid muscle with short brown hair, has small bear ears on his head, and a deer tail.
The sixth surrounds himself with lapping waves and deadly storms. A combination of Turtle and Great White, he has incredibly thick skin and has never seen the color of his own blood, even though he has been bitten by other sharks more times than he can count. As a human, he can heal or patch up any wound you can imagine, can tell what is wrong with someone by just looking at them, and he can influence someone's emotions if he is near them. In animal form he can break through any barrier in his path, even if it's 3 feet thick solid rock. As a creature, he takes the form of a 20 foot long Great White with a hardened shell of flesh on his back and turtle like fins. As a human his hair is slate gray and retains his shark tail, but can switch between that and legs if he needs to climb something.
The last one resides in a place so cold, the ice seeps into trees and causes the wood the crack like thunder. A mix of Rabbit and Owl, he can see across great distances, survive on a very minimal diet, camouflage himself to match anything around him to the point of becoming invisible, and can imitate the sounds of other animals, or copy someone's voice. As a human his hair is completely white and more resembles fur than actual hair, along with his arms and legs having barely visible feathers on them. In creature form, he is a 5 foot owl with fur instead of feathers, and will often do a lot more hopping than necessary.
What everyone who decided to join in on the hunt for an Origin did not know, is that only one out of every 30 Origins was born female, and with most people thinking that the males would be stronger and better status symbols; the 2 remaining females are actually incredibly rare beings.
So, will you be a ruler and enslave the Origin you find, or will you seek to try to save as many of them as you can?

Hello!
This is going to be an 18+ roleplay, with a range of violent, sexual, and language related content. As a 23 year old, I am comfortable with all of this stuff, and ask that my partner at least be alright with language and violence. I am willing to fade to black though, if you aren't comfortable with explicit sexual content.
I just ask that you try to give me 3+ paragraphs that have at least 4-6 sentences each, and don't use text speak at all in the roleplay or in OOC. It bugs the hell out of me.
I love daily replies and do my best to reply daily.
I only roleplay through PM and Skype due to content restrictions of Threads.
I'm willing to do MxM and MxF for pairings.
I'm a nice person and love to chat about the randomest things, so don't be afraid to talk to me!
If you have any questions, or any interest in playing out this idea with me, please PM or @mention me.
