Animorphs RP (OOC and Info) [Full] ( )

Postby cloudbreaker on Mon Aug 11, 2008 4:36 pm

This is my second trial, but I think it will go much better this time around. :shock:
IC: http://www.roleplaygateway.com/animorphs-t9357.html

It has been several years since the yeerk invasion of earth has been stopped. The only original animorph still on Earth is Cassie, but she keeps out of the public eye. Humans now know that other intelligent species are present in the galaxy, but very few visit earth other than the occasional andalite. The hork-bajir are living in Yellowstone National Park, protected from too much public exposure. The members of the taxxon and yeerk species have all become nothlits in the form of Earth animals. Humans are not yet capable of interstellar travel, but they are close.

You are an average person who is about to get the ability to morph, but it has to remain secret. It is illegal to get the morphing power without special permission, but you are doing it for a good cause. More details are in the IC post.

Morphing Rules

1. To acquire an animal's DNA, you must physically touch it and focus on absorbing the DNA. The animal usually goes into a trance.
2. You must concentrate on the image of an animal you have acquired in order to turn into it.
3. When morphing, your shape changes in an unpredictable manner over a period of one or two minutes.
4. When morphing, only skin-tight clothing will change with you. All other clothing ect. will likely fall off or be destroyed.
5. You can only stay in animal form for two hours at a time without being stuck in that form permanently, thus becoming a nothlit.
6. When morphed, you gain the instincts of the animal you became. Often these instincts need to be controlled.
7. When morphed you are capable of thought speech. You can communicate mentally with individuals or entire groups of people. They will not be able to communicate back unless they are also in morph (or an andalite).
8. You cannot acquire someone else’s morph.
9. You cannot acquire a dead animal.
10. All physical damage to your body is healed whenever you morph or demorph. If you acquired a sick or injured animal, it will be healthy when you morph into it.

I'm claiming a spot, but I have to do something right now. I'll edit later ^_^.

Holy crap, I haven't seen one of these or read the books in ages! I'm totally in and am reserving a spot with this post. I'll try to get an application up tomorrow, no guarantees. I have twelve hour band camp this week, so I'm not really available until Saturday.

Just for fun, I was wondering what type of animals you would be interested in morphing. Make as big of list as you want, and tell why you would pick those animals (if you feel like it). But just so you know, I make absolutely no promises that any of them will be available in the story-line, but I will still use them for consideration.

Also, would you like more of the story-line available now, or should I wait until the actual IC post is up? Any feedback is helpful.

I have been debating for a while on whether or not I was going to include my own character, and I finally decided I would. Don’t worry though, I will not make him take actions based on information that I know and he doesn’t, and I won’t give him all the morphs. I’ll play fair and probably have him stay more in the background. Anyway, if you are still reading this by now, here is my character:

Name: John Rovert
Age: 21
Gender: Male

Appearance: About 6 feet tall and 170 pounds. He has blue eyes and dirty-blonde hair that is kept somewhat short. He usually wears pants and a t-shirt and an old pair of sneakers. He has a somewhat wimpy look to him, but is not completely muscle less.

Biography: John grew up in the countryside of the Midwest, but moved to (whatever city where this takes place) not long after high school. He is currently working at a dead-end job at a video rental store, which he hates. He wishes that his life were more exciting.

Other: He is not usually very social, but is not afraid of social situations. He also sometimes shares seemingly random facts with the people around him.

I think you will be ok. It would help to read the books (of course) but I don’t think it is really necessary for this RP. As long as you make legible posts, I will be happy. :)

And to answer my own question up above, here are a few animals I think would be fun to morph:
Hippo, because I think it would make an interesting battle morph.
Walrus, It seems like a powerful water morph.
Toad, because for some reason I kind of like toads. Don’t know why.

Well, I guess two is enough, but I'm hoping for more. I figured we would wait until the other two posted their characters. I hope to have the IC started by Sunday evening. I have a very busy weekend so if it isn't up by tomorrow I'll probably wait until Sunday. That way the posts will be good and not rushed. I apologize now for any frustration and/or problems this may cause.

As a side note, if there are ANY questions or comments about this RP, I would be happy to answer any of them here.

Oops, wrong weekend. It is the weekend after this one that I will be busy. So that means I can start up the IC any day now. Sorry for any confusion.

Sounds good. I'm pretty busy as well this weekend. Plus, school starts in a few days, so yeah. I do have a question though. Do you have any ideas for the storyline?

Yes, I have the basic story-line thought out, but I'm keeping it pretty flexible right now. That way I can more easily deal with any changes that need to be made later.

I think I'll put up the IC tonight at around 10:00 p.m., but no promises (for reference, this was posted at about 6:24). So you can keep your eyes peeled for that. Also, I would like to mention that when you post in the IC, I would much appreciate some effort. This means do not post something haphazardly without looking over it to make sure it is decent quality. I wasn't expecting anyone to make bad posts, but I figured I would just officially state my expectations.

I got home later than expected, so I am just starting to type up the IC now. But it should be up tonight (hopefully within the hour).

For those of you who may not have read the last few books, the yeerks got a hold of a morphing cube and gave some controllers the ability to morph. Not long after the yeerk threat became public, and they were outsmarted by the Animorphs soon after and lost the war.
