You were born of fear.
It ripped you apart, tearing at your entire being until this was what's left.
This . . . This thing.
'What is it?!' You had cried, 'What am I?!'
Now, it's been some time . . . But that spirit is still with you.
And that spirit is what is keeping you alive.
It's a part of you, just as much as that fear once was.
You traveled and wandered, lost and afraid.
But now, you've found them. A group, a clan, even, of creatures such as you.
A family.
They've taught you how to function, how to live the life of a normal human,
and now you're moving to the city.
You are going to finally be human.
At last, you are no longer broken.
But how long will you're secret remain just that, a secret?
How long will it be until you are both broken, and shunned?
Killed, even?

Come, wander the world of +Anima with us~ ✯

Plot and Information


Who Are the +Anima?


Beings who possess animal-like powers walk among humans in this alternate universe. These mysterious mutants, the +Anima, are shunned by society. . . . They search for others like themselves while trying to gain acceptance in a world cruel to anyone or anything that is different.


--From the +Anima manga.


+Anima are humans who, sometime in their life, have lived through a traumatic experience sometime when they were young. During that experience, the child unconsciously called out to an animal spirit. If the spirit had recognized that the situation was potentially fatal for the child, the spirit accepted the child's body and the child formed physical characteristics from this animal spirit to help them survive.
Whether they took a deer's ears and its speed to help them run, or a bear's sharp claws to defend itself, the spirit helps this child in some way or another. They can show or hide the physical characteristics willingly. Once the spirit is satisfied that the person is old enough, and that they are capable of defending their self, the spirit exits the person, taking away their animal characteristics.




The Plot
These +Anima have grouped together, reasoning that people are indeed stronger in numbers. Now, they've created ranks amongst their selves, and they are looking for more members in their group. This clan has named their establishment Anima Town, and have dubbed it a city.
The leaders and bosses have created the ranks of gatherers and messengers, and they have sent out these +Anima to search for more of the mutants in Stella, the capital. But what happens when one of these gatherers are captured in a town where +Anima are treated as slaves and servants? What if one of these +Anima are not who they claim to be, and just join the clan in hopes of capturing one of the true +Anima for their own?

Rules
Before I even start, I'm just going to throw out that I am so sorry about the length. I just keep thinking of things that should be included. ;~;
1. This will be semi-literate. I don't expect a ten paragraph essay for each post, but try to have from between three and ten sentances per post.
2. No chat-speak. At all.
3. No fighting when speaking out of character, please.
4. Have realistic characters. Except for the animalistic characteristics, these should resemble normal humans.
5. Fill the form out completely.
6. No perfect characters. Remember, these are young teens to young adults, and they're probably terrified at that.
7. No power-playing. If a user controls your character without permission and you didn't want it to happen, just ignore them and keep on roleplaying.
8. Three characters per person. This may be raised/lowered in time.
9. If you speak directly to another person OOC, put @"whoever you're talking to" so we know.
10. Please put OOC talking in some sort of {[(brackets)]}.
11. Keep the characters from ten to twenty years, please.
12. One major position per person. Major positions are marked with asterisks {*}.
13. If you have any plot ideas that will pretty much change everything, PM me and ask permission to have it happen.
14. No pregnancies, but romance is fine.
15. No unreadable font colors, please.
16. Don't ask for a recap after one or two pages. You can read through it.
17. Roleplay in third-person. Forms can be in either first- or third-person.
18. Please have each form in a different post. It makes it easier when giving a link to the form.
19. If you are inactive for a week without notifying me of a reason beforehand, and you have a character in a major position, that character will be removed until further notice. You will get your character back, but not your spot if it's filled.
20. Character's with foreign names must have an English nickname, no exceptions.
21. When reserving a rank, you must have the character's name and what animal spirit they have.
22. No canon characters! This means you can't roleplay Cooro, Nana, Senri, Husky, or any of the other characters in the +Anima manga.

And, of course, all of Tess's rules apply as well. c:
These rules can be changed and updated at any given time.
If you see a problem with any of these rules, or believe I can remove one, contact me by PM with the rule quoted and the issue and/or question.

Strikes will be given to members who break the more important rules, and won't be taken away until 100 pages have passed from the strike.
Killing another character without permission counts as 2 1/2 strikes.
Injuring another without permission counts as 1.
Other important rules that are broken will be worth 1 strike.
Not doing something that I've asked you to several times counts as one strike, but only if it's important. {{I.E. Change your font to a darker color, be more literate, ect.}}
Members are banned from the roleplay after five strikes, and banishments won't be reset.
If you are banned but what me to rethink the banishment, send me a PM. If you can't be mature about it, though, I will not change my mind about banning you.
Also, I will not notify you in any way if I give you any number of strikes. I will PM you once you are banned. If you want someone banned, or to receive a strike, PM me with the user's name. and the reason.
