Semi-Literate Shapeshifter Roleplay



Welcome to Outcast Island....

Well, that's what the government calls it. A small group of shapeshifters call this dreary place home.

A drab island thickly covered in all sorts of northern trees and surrounded by gray, mean ocean waves. A fog seems to perpetually thicken the salkty air of the island and soften all that you see. All in all it's a dull, boring place.

Well, from the view of an outsider.

The forest is alive with all manners of small critters and rivers cross the island. Fruit-bearing plants hang heavy with their deliscious bounty in the fall and summer. The few shifters on this island are a generally close-knit bunch as they depend on eachother for survival.

Of course, it's not all pretty. Winters are freezing and brutal, summers can be incredibly hot and bad weather and sickness are often occurances. Not all wild animals are tiny balls of fluff, either. It's a dangerous life but what choice do these outcasts have?

===

These people, most of them in their teenage years, were sent to this island because it was discovered they were shapeshifters. In their country a shapeshifter is a most horrible thing to be and is thought of as a curse. As soon as a person is found with shifting ability there are reported and taken to this island to die.

Example
[Good Form]

Username: Widgy.Iero
Character Name: Ash Wilson
Age: 13 years, some months.
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight. Mostly...
Main Shift: Tabby cat. Short, pale gray pelt with darker stripes that are more like dashes. Front paws are white, as well as tailtip. Blue-green eyes rimmed with black fur.
Physical Description: Ash is around 5' 4" in height, most of this height being her legs. She's thin and lean from all the time spent on the island surviving on the natural stuff they eat to survive. Her skin is pale with a faint tan to it and dotted with brown freckles. Her hair is brown with faint streaks of ligter, darker and redder colors and goes down to her lower mid-back area. She ahs bangs down to her eyebrows, which are a bit thick and the same color of her hair. Her eyes are a blue-green sort of color and rimmed with average length eyelashes. Freckles go across the bridge of her nose. Her nails are long and grow fast.
Personality: Ash isn't the kind of person who is easy to befriend, or get to trust you. If she doesn't want someone to know something about her, they won't. Now, this makes her seem like a quiet person but when around friends you'll generally find her smiling and laughing if the topic is light. She isn't one to cry at a sad story or a nasty scrape. The way she tends to talk about bad possibilites and flaws in stuff makes her seem negative and pessimistic but she really isn't. Sarcasm is one of her many...habits. She isn't afraid to get muddy or dirty in that sort of way and actually enjoys it. Ash is in no way a huggy sort of person and find that sort of thing uncomfortable. She is, however, loyal to her friends and would [probably] die for any one of them if need be. This girl is also very artistic and there is a chance you'll find her doodling on the sand with a stick or rock or using a charred stick as a pencil on some surface or another. She loves music as well but is very self-concious about her voice believing it's horrible [It's not good...].
Strengths: Her long legs make her a good runner, on open ground and in the forest where she is good at 'ducking and weaving'. She's a quick shifter and knows the terrain here quite well as she was one of the first people on here who is still alive. She's pretty good with words and snappy comeacks, too, as she used to read alot.
Weaknesses: Her sarcasm and 'pessimistic' and untrusting nature makes her seem very alienated and unapproachable at times. She's also really sensitive about hunting and killing some animals for food and occasionally doesn't eat meat because of that. She's never got into a fist-fight before so she probably wouldn't be good in one. Oh, and her procrastinating nature is also a weakness.
History: Ash discovered she was a shifter when a nasty stray dog attacked her in her yard when she was around 8 years old. Instinctivly she turned into a cat and darted up a tree to safety as the dog barked below. thankfully her parents weren't hope and didn't witness it or like all parents with any sense they would give her up to the police. Like all little children this incredible ability was hard to keep in and, wehn she thought no one was looking, she'd change forms to see what she could do. As she got older she overheard more and mroe people lying about being a shapeshifter and, after becoming tired of this, she told a bunch of kids she could shift for real. None of them believed her but they came anyway and, to her dismay, notified the police just in case she wasn't lying. When she shifted and shifted back she was captured by the police and taken to the island. At this time she was about 11¾ years old . She's lived here since.

Theme Song: Haven't found one yet...
Other:Nope ^^

Username: Lady Mekka
Character Name: Alyssa
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight (prefers men)
Main Shift: Maltese Tiger (aka Blue Tiger)
Physical Description: Alyssa has straight raven black hair with natural blue streaks. Her eyes are bright gold, again naturally, and her pupils are always dilated to different sizes. She stands a good 5' 8", and is lean, but muscular. Her bust is small, but her hips are wide, which seems to throw her whole body out of proportion in a very odd way. She understands how to hold herself, though, so she doesn't really let most people notice her odd proportions.
Personality: She will interact with others, and is usually very cordial, but she usually stands off to the side. She doesn't like to draw attention to herself, and gaining her trust is very difficult.
Strengths: Physically athletic, Graceful to a fault
Weaknesses: She's not the brightest bulb in the house
History: She was born in a hospital, half-way between human and tiger, and the staff freaked out. Ever since, she's been shuttled from government facility to government facility until she finally ended up on the island.
Theme Song: Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (Because she wishes that she could have someone to love)

Username:
Sweet Memory, if I must tell you.
Character Name:
Alice Justice Hale
Age:
Somehere around 17. Give or take a few years.
Gender:
Female, la duh.
Sexual Orientation:
Bisexual, all the way sweet heart.
Main Shift:
A tiny little dog. A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to be exact. She is a creamy white color with black and tan spots covering her body. Alice has bright blue eyes, the only thing alike to her human form.
Physical Description:
Alice is a very short girl, around 5 ft even. Her hair is a dark brownish red, and shines it's deep red color in the sun. She usually has it up in a bun, a small braid across the top. Alice is quite thin, and she has a very small waist, small hands, small feet, well, small everything. Her skin is very pale, and you would not believe her story of being on the island for about 2 years. Alice's pale skin barely ever burns, doesn't tan, and many catogrize this as a freaky talent of her's. Her eyes are a bright blue, catogrized as a mix of sea foam green and sapphire. They are so bright that her body has adapted and has given her long dark redish brown lashes that cover her eyes when she feels embarrassed of them. Her lips are full, yet thin, her teeth are semi-straight. All in all, she is a very very strange girl.
Personality:
Alice is a very quiet girl, her mouth barely ever opens to say anything. She takes joy in nature, and her little sister, whom she would protect with her life. Her sister means everything to her, and she is the only one she talks to. Alice, being very shy, mostly stays in her dog form, prefering to appear as merely her sister's pet, not an actual person. You will very rarely see her on two feet... unless she is trying to calm down her sister.
Strengths:
Although her shortness weighs her down a bit, she is very fast. In her shifted form she can fit into many places that others can't, being very stealthy. Alice, when human, is also very good at making things. She is quite the engineer.
Weaknesses:
Alice has a very large soft spot for her sister, and sometimes her temper will snap because of it. She does not eat meat because of the way she was brought up. She is a pushover at times, and she has a large fear of crowded areas.
History:
Alice grew up with parents whom didn't care about her at all. When her little sister was born, Alice found out her gift. She changed so freguently that her parents began to believe that her sister had brought in a new animal to the house. They excepted the dog -or puppy at the time- and gave it even more love than they gave their own daughter. Soon Alice stayed as a dog, living out her years as a loyal pet to her young sister.
However, one day, Alice returned home to find her father attacking her mother. In a fit of pure rage, Alice shifted in front of her father and began beating him. When the police came to the home, her father told them the story and Alice was shipped off to the island. She suspected never to see her sister again, yet one day she did. And that is when she learned the horrible truth.

Character Name:
Echo Hope Hale
Age:
10
Gender:
Female
Sexual Orientation:
Straight!
Main Shift:
A spotted Panther. Not much else needs to be said. She is lean and large, her whole body built for strength. Her eyes are a sharp, piercing green.
Physical Description:
Echo looks about seven years old, small and sweet looking. She has the same brown-red hair as her sister, yet her's is a shade darker and a lot shorter. Her cheeks are round and her soft green eyes shine with innocence. At least, that's what you think.
She is so sweet looking that many have problems resisting her. And, she uses this to her advantage.
Personality:
Echo, at first glance, is a sweet, tiny, loving little girl. Yet, deep inside she has a wild temper fit for a two yearold. She knows that whatever she wants will be given to her by her sister, and she relies on that. Looking so sweet, she rarely ever loses her temper, yet when she does, watch out. She shifts at a moment's notice, and her second form is not one to be trifled with.
Strengths:
Her second form gives her strength, speed, stealth. What else does she need?
Weaknesses:
Echo relies so much on her second form that it is hard for her to grasp the concept of normal. She has a temper, and wishes to be normal, even though she also wishes to keep her puppy, and her second form.
History:
[Same as Alice but she was thrown into the island for a temper tantrum when the police wouldn't give her a cookie in the interogation room.]

Character Name:
Canan Kaplan
Age:
15 1/2
Gender:
Female
Sexual Orientation:
Straight
Main Shift:
A Bali Tiger. She is the last one, despite the fact everyone believes that they are completly extinct.
Canan has, in tiger form, short fur that is a deeper, darker orange and has fewer stripes than other tiger subspecies. Between the stripes, there are small black spots. She also has unusual bar-shaped patterns on her head. The white fur on her underbelly stands out more than that of the other Tiger sub-species because of its darker colored fur. The white fur also has a more distinct and curved line.
Physical Description:
Canan is 5'7" and 125 lbs. She has dark brown eyes, the color of chocolate almost. Her eye lashes are long. Her hair color is a light brown. She has freckles on her shoulders.
Personality:
Shy, sensitive, gentle, patient, strong willed, forceful, dogmatic, seeks truth above all things, has a breadth of vision that brings diverse factors into a whole, can see both sides of an argument without shilly-shallying as to which side to take. Consequently she is unprejudiced and tolerant of other points of view. This is because she can see the validity of the argument, even if they do not accept it themselves. Canan obeys the Quaker exhortation to "Be open to truth, from whatever source it comes," and is prepared to learn from everyone. Humane, frank, serious minded, genial, refined, sometimes ethereal, and idealistic, though this last quality is tempered with a sensible practicality. She is quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and express herself with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humor. Intelligent, concise, clear and logical. Strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive. Fiercely independent, refusing to follow the crowd. Canan dislikes interference by others, however helpfully intended, and will accept it only on her own terms. She has good taste in drama, music and art, and is also gifted in the arts, especially drama. In spite of the often intensely magnetic, and of her desire to help humanity, Canan does not make friends easily. She sometimes appears to condescend to others and takes too little trouble to cultivate the acquaintance of people who do not particularly appeal to her.

Canan does not give herself easily - perhaps her judgment of human nature is too good for that - and is sometimes accounted cold. But once she has decided that someone is worthy of her friendship or love, she can exert an almost hypnotic and irresistible mental attraction on them and will themselves become tenacious friends or lovers, ready to sacrifice everything for her partner and be faithful to him for life. However, Canan is sometimes disappointed emotionally because her own high personal ideals cause her to demand more of others than is reasonable. And if she is deceived her anger is terrible. If disillusioned, she does not forgive.

Among the faults to which she is liable are fanatical eccentricity, wayward egotism, excessive detachment and an inclination to retreat from life and society, and a tendency to be extremely dogmatic in her opinions. Canan can be a threat to all they survey or a great boon for humanity in general. Circumstances - for example, continuous opposition to a cause she holds dear - may cause the atrophy of the openness of mind that is one of Canan's most attractive traits. She may express a lack of integrity in broken promises, secretiveness or cunning. Simmering anger and resentment, rudeness or, worse, a tense, threatening silence which may suddenly burst out in eruptions of extreme temper, these are all part of the negative side of Canan. This can also reveal itself in a sustained hatred for enemies that is capable of enlarging itself into a misanthropy toward the whole of mankind.

Strengths:
- Size advantage in most fights
- Muscular, can win most fights
- Good hunter
- Can see in the dark
- Can jump high
- Fast, speed wise
- Reacts quickly to things {When hunting, for example}
- Accurate
- Smart
Weaknesses:
- Not very courageous
- Dogmatic
- Doesnt make friends easily
- Not very trustworthy
- Quiet
- Can be a bit too motherly, at times
- Has night terrors of the day her father tried to kill her.
History:
Her parents became Missionaries in Indonesia and she moved there when she was 5. Shortly afterwards, she began to transform at random. One day she transformed while playing in her room. Her parents walked in and were terrified. Her mother cried, thinking that the small tiger sitting in the middle of the room had ate her daughter. Her father, however, grabbed his gun and began chasing her, trying to kill her. Canan ran into the woods and was traumatized from there on out.

Ash's breaths came slow and silent as she peered through the bushes. A small sparrow sat perched on a smooth stone beside the river, eye bright as it let the sun warm it's skin beneath the naturally colored feathers. Ash wasn't watching to hunt the bird; she wasn't any more hungry than usual, but just to watch it.

Of all the things on this island to love, nature was high on that list. Birds especially. Ash had always loved birds; their wings and grace and their overall bird-ness. A low, happy sigh escaped her mouth, causing some of the soft hairs that had fallen on her face to move aside. A quick, loud crack sounded somewhere in the forest and the sparrow took of in a loud flapping of wings.

[pokekinzmanor2]

Canan sat in the shade. Despite it being somewhat cold and an overcast, she did not like to be seen by anything. She shivered as a slight breeze blew past her. She looked upwards, barely able to see past the canopy. From what she could see it seemed as if it might rain. Canan's nose twitched. She smelled another animal, a small one. She turned around and seen a chipmunk. It cocked its head and stared at Canan. Canan smiled and reached out her hand towards the critter so it could sniff it. The chipmunk slowly made its way over to her hand, sniffed it, and walked away. Canan watched as it began to look for food. She smiled and toyed with her hair.

[duckteeth]

Ash sat up, leaning back on her legs and giving a huge but silent yawn. Stretching her thin arms she looked around her. She had said she was going out to forage a bit; she might as well come back with some sort of food or she'd need an excuse. Blinking her blue-green eyes she tried to find some sort of food tree. Human senses failing her, Ash shifted into a squirrel form, gray bushy tail sweeping behind her as she darted amongst the undergrowth. Sniffing the air deeply with her twitchy little rodent nose she inhaled the scent of blackberry coming from a north-eastern direction. Following her nose she found herself in front of a bush heavy with berries and hidden behind the thick branches of a fallen tree.

Shifting back into human form a smile creased her lips as she began to pick the berries, using her shirt as a pouch. Berry juice, dark and sweet-smelling, stained the green garment and seeped through onto her stomach.
