~Shift~ A Shape-Shifter's RP (Need Members)

~Plot~

Forty-five years ago a young, twenty-five year old scientist that went by the name of James Strayer made a time machine that went into the past. To prove this, he sent an omnivore (a creature that eats both meat and greens), a monkey to be exact, into space. But the experiment went terribly wrong. He lost the pod and his fellow scientists cast him out as a failure. Thirty years later, however, the lost pod crashed into a wheat field in Texas. The monkey, who had not aged a day but was foaming green at the mouth, escaped it's prison and began it's campaign of biting everyone it laid eyes on. All of these people became very sick and all of them died within a year...but not before they could pass on their mutated DNA to the next generation. How did they do this? Use your imagination.

Now today, fifteen years later, that DNA mutation is awakening in this new generation. Half of the kids who had the DNA passed on to them can now shape-shift into carnivores (creatures who eat meat) and the other half can shape-shift into herbivores (creatures who eat greens). For the kids who thought they were normal teens trying to get through high school, life has suddenly become very difficult. On top of raging hormones, acne problems, and the stress of keeping their grades up, they are now being hunted down by the power hungry government that seeks to control them, an angry scientist who wants to prove himself and get back at the scientists who cast him out, and another threat that has yet to identify itself. You, my fellow RPer, are one of these lucky kids.

~Rules~
~You are going to want to read them as they give some plot pointers~

~All CS rules apply
~All characters pretty much have to start at age 15 because that is when the DNA mutation awakens
~Can't shift into omnivores
~When shifted into an animal, your character will have a natural base color. So say my characters base color is white. That means that every animal she turns into will have a base white pelt. Examples are a white wolf or a white tiger with black stripes. So the animal will still have normal characteristics like stripes and such. NO YOUR BASE COLOR CAN NOT BE PURPLE OR SOME OTHER RIDICULOUS COLOR. So no green tigers with red stripes or some other such nonsense.
~When shifted, they can communicate with other shifted shifters by sending mental images and emotions
~You may choose to be either a carnivore shifter or an herbivore shifter. Keep in mind that I would like to keep the ratio fairly even.
~Please read the plot...it is extremely important to know in order to keep the rp running smoothly
~If you have any questions, comments, or ideas at any time, feel free to pm me
~I don't mind giving recaps if you've missed more than five pages, but if it's less than that, please read them yourself
~This is an advanced roleplay so please post at least three well-developed sentences for each character (if you have more than one) every time you post
~You may have as many characters as you can control at once
~Romance is encouraged, but must be written appropriately (keep it pg-13 or less)
~If you become inactive for a long period of time without letting me know, I may remove your character from the rp
~Please fill out the entire form to be accepted; no "will rp it out"
~Do not start rp-ing until I accept your form

((My Character))

Name: Lyra
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Crush/Boyfriend/Girlfriend: Looking
Appearance (as a human): She is about six feet tall with light blue eyes that accent her naturally wavey, light brown hair. Her slim figure goes well with her curves and she moves with a grace that doesn't seem entirely...human.
Carnivore or Herbivore?: Carnivore
Natural Base Color When Shifted: Silvery White
Personality: She used to be shy and quiet, always one to please others. But for some reason, as she is getting closer to 15, she has been getting more and more aggressive...more and more self confident. Traditionally though, she is loyal and kind, always looking out for the few friends she has.
History: Her mother was the first to be bitten by the monkey. It happened when she was pregnant with Lyra and Ryker, causing them to get the mutated DNA. Their mother, however, was too weak and died while giving birth to them. So their father raised them, doing his best to be a good dad while keeping up three jobs as well to support them.
Other: Twin to Ryker

Name: Ryker
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Crush/Girlfriend: Looking
Appearance (as a human): Ryker is six feet tall and is very strong and muscular. He is unusually fast and coordinated for someone of his size. His jet black hair has no style, though it is quite attractive, as are his emerald green eyes.
Image
Carnivore or Herbivore?: Herbivore
Natural Base Color When Shifted: Black
Personality: Ryker used to be outspoken and bold as a younger teen, although he preferred being a loner, but as he neared his fifteenth birthday, he has become more passive and quiet, though he began craving companionship. He went from being a prospective football star to running track instead because he doesn't like anything that may be violent. Even so, he is a popular guy who loves to be in a huge crowd of guy friends and cute girls. Because he is quite charming and attractive, he is rarely seen alone, something he definitely loves.
History: His mother was the first to be bitten by the monkey. It happened when she was pregnant with Lyra and himself, causing them to get the mutated DNA. Their mother, however, was too weak and died while giving birth to them. So their father raised them, doing his best to be a good dad while keeping up three jobs as well to support them.
Other: Ryker is the twin brother of Lyra

((Ok lets roll))

Lyra sighed as the band director started screaming at the percussion yet again. How could Mr. Young expect the respect of an entire band when he acted like such a three year old all the time. Drowning him out, she instead turned her eyes to the saxophone player that was sitting a few rows in front of her. Ever since she had laid eyes on him she had liked him. His silky brown hair, his dark green eyes, his strong muscles, his understanding smile...she caught herself in mid-sigh and looked around casually to make sure no one had caught her staring. When she turned her attention back to him she caught her breath as he caught her eyes. As soon as he saw that she had caught him looking though he flashed a nervious smile and whipped back around. Could...could he like me?!, she thought, hardly daring to get her hopes up to that height. No...theres no way. But she continued looking at him periodically throughout the rest of class, trying to catch him looking at her again.

Finally the bell rang and she gathered up her things, dreading the bus ride home. Mr. Young had canceled band practice that day so that meant she would have to put up with the yelling, screaming children that plagued her particular section of the bus. At least she would have Ryker to share the experiance with...she hoped. A sudden jolt of anxiety rushed through her. What if he had track practice today? Or what if he was going out somewhere with his ever-growing crowd of adoring fans? That would mean...that she would have to deal with Damien on her own. Damien was a boy who had been crushing on and practically stalking her since the beginning of last year...and he was getting creepier and creepier as the days went by. She could only guess what he had planned for her today. Last time he had shoved his way into her bus seat and had sat uncomfortably close to her while he talked about all the girls he had been with in the past, the smell of beer and smoke making her gag every couple of seconds.

Suppressing a small shiver of fear, she headed to Ryker's locker to ask him what his plans were for after school today. She had yet to tell her brother about her stalker. He knew that he had a crush on her...but she hadn't told him about the crowd he ran with or how creepy he had gotten lately. Lyra told herself that she could handle it on her own. Besides, her twin didn't need the stress of taking care of his little by one minute and two seconds sister. Stopping at his locker, she prayed that he would be stopping there too before going wherever he was going.

((Thanks, and good luck! Here's my opening post. Let me know if anything needs to be changed :D ))

Ryker glanced at the clock on across the classroom and sighed. Math seemed to drag on forever! He wanted to go outside in the fresh air and run track with his friends. The teacher was going over the test that he had received an 'A' on and droning on about fractions and some other things he already knew. He glanced outside and to his dismay, saw that it was still raining steadily. It had been raining the whole day and the track was probably flooded by now. Practice would be canceled if things kept up this way and couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed. Although most kids hated practice, Ryker loved being outside and running, so he didn't mind it at all. He was one of the best members on the track team and very few people rivaled his stamina or speed. Then, after what seemed like hours, the bell finally rang. Ryker hurried out of the classroom and went to his next class. He pushed through the mass of people in the narrow hallways to get to the cafeteria. It was his lunch period, so he would have to stop at his locker to put his stuff away and to get his lunch money. As he neared his locker, he saw Lyra leaning against it, scanning the sea of teens, probably for him. He shoved past a couple of kids and came up behind her. "Hey lil' sis, what's up?" he teased playfully.

Name: Ariana
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Crush/Boyfriend/Girlfriend: Looking
Appearance (as a human): Ariana's about five-foot-six with long dark brown hair. Her skin complexion is a sandy brown and her eyes are sage. She has a slender body with fairly strong muscles in her arms that help her climb trees and hop into trash cans.
Carnivore or Herbivore?: Carnivore
Natural Base Color When Shifted: Silver
Personality: Ariana's basically a loner and is secluded. She is a thief and she will steal in order to survive. She hardly has any friends due to the fact that she is judgmental, harsh, and has a sharp tongue. Ariana is tough and will hardly show emotion, to anyone. But when she is alone, she will sometimes cry to herself. She is a pretty good student, but has a hard time staying out of trouble.
History: When Ariana's mother was pregnant with her, the monkey had invaded their home and infected her mother by biting her in the arm. After receiving multiple rabies tests, her mother found out that nothing was wrong with her. After giving birth to Ariana, her mother died and her father raised her. After four years, her father abandoned her. Ariana wasn't close with anyone else in her family, so she knew from then, she would have to fend for herself.
Other: She's been to jail a couple times, four to be exact.

((Accepted! Keep in mind that they haven't changed just yet. This first day is when they will shift for the first time. Lets say it's the first day of school))

Lyra jumped as her brother came up behind her. "Don't scare me like that!" she exclaimed, hiding her relief that he was in her lunch period this year. This was the first day of their sophomore year and she just couldn't help being a bit nervous. Where as her brother was constantly surrounded by his horde of friends, Lyra had barely any. And the only friends she did have were in band and would be scattered all throughout the lunch room. "And I'm sitting with you at lunch too. Just try and stop me." she teased, knowing that he wouldn't dare. She never understood why other siblings fought so much. Ever since birth, it seemed, she and Ryker had gotten along perfectly. Maybe it was because they pretty much grew up taking care of each other, with their dad constantly gone working three jobs and the perpetual babysitters that changed every month or so. She grinned at the memories that she and her brother had created in the process of driving all their babysitters crazy. Served them right.

Suddenly a thought occurred to Lyra that made her stop and stare at her brother in surprise. "Ryker!...Today is our birthday!" she exclaimed, unable to believe that she had forgotten. It must have been the rush of their first day of school. "Well happy birthday to us!" she said, trying to cover up her sudden dismay. Once again, she had forgotten to get her twin a present. Secretly hoping he had forgotten too, she strode off towards the lunch room. She would buy him a muffin to make up for it.

Once they were out of the everlasting lunch line she started casting around for this years lunch table...and froze. There he was. It was the saxophone kid...she really needed to learn his name. "Hey...hey Ryker...do you know that guy over there?" she asked, pointing to saxophone kid. "What's his name?"

(thanks)

Ariana walked into the lunch room and she looked at the guy in front of her. That's a nice phone. She thought as she looked at it. She looked around to make sure no one was looking, and she took it. She hid it in her pants pocket, and the guy turned around. "What are you looking at?!" Ariana hissed violently. She moved past him and his phone fell out of her pocket. She gasped when it fell out and she looked around, hoping nobody had seen what had happened. Ariana ran out of the lunch room, trying to avoid getting caught, and she sighed. Ariana stopped and panted heavily as she looked behind her. The guy picked his phone up and looked at her. Ariana sighed as her conscience told her to go back and tell the truth about trying to steal his phone. I can't go back and tell the truth. Besides, another person probably caught me trying to steal it anyway. Ariana looked down and walked back into the lunch room, hoping that nobody had seen her attempted theft. Is a thief all I'd ever be? She thought as she looked around at everybody. She didn't bother to grab lunch, instead she sat next to somebody. Ariana looked at the girl's necklace, then looked down. An impulse was triggered and she tried to take the necklace from the girl next to her. Ariana glanced around and noticed Lyra and Ryker, and with immense fear, she moved her hand away from the necklace. The necklace seemed to call out to her and she put her hand towards the necklace again.
