Introduction
In this world there's a small town deep in the forest called Veraloia. It's a safe haven to the few mythical creatures that are still alive. Many races have become extinct when humans have destroyed the forests and the seas. There are no more fairies dancing around the pond in the moonlight, nor mermaids swimming deep in the ocean. Only handful of elves are still wandering the Earth, trying to find a forest that would still be pure, still be uninhabited by humans. The strongest, sneakiest, fastest and scariest races have survived. Kill or be killed. That's the rule you must follow in order to stay alive.
But what will happen, when a rumor starts to spread? A rumor that these creatures still exist.
Will the humans believe it? Will they go and hunt them? Will they try to get profit with their help?
And what will the paranormals do, when humans are knocking on their door? Do they fight or escape? Do they want to cooperate?
Setting:
Veraloia is said to locate somewhere in the northern Europe, where there's still pure nature and areas where humans don't live but suits paranormals. It's in the deepest parts of the Tidenor Forest as the mythical creatures call their hiding place.
The two nearest towns are Tivel and Varisvaara. Tivel is small, quiet lakeside town that locates next to Divan Lake. Varisvaara is slightly bigger and locates south from Tivel and near the Tidenor Forest. (Town descriptions can be found from the places)
In north there's Pinuta River connected to Divan Lake. There's also Sylphies Pond near Veraloia. In east there's Oveira Mountains. In southeast there's also Fulen Cavern that's popular place among dwarves.
”What's in the south then?” You ask. There's more human cities, less nature, less free space to paranormals to roam around.
Characters:
Four forms under one personality
Shapeshifters can transform into animal form and into more human-like form. But even in their human form they don't look fully humans. There's always some animalistic features: maybe a tail, ears or eyes. Shapeshifters can change up to three different animals, but usually they prefer one, and it's the one they have features in their human form.
The animals they change into reflects their personality. Their main form comes from their qualities: foxes are sneaky, felines are independent and owls like to sleep at day times. The other two forms fills them in this.
Shapeshifters abilities varies. They depend on the animal they transform into: bears are strong, cougars are fast and eagles can fly. Same goes with their weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
Reborn demons
Tieflings are half-demon half-human. They have become half-demon trough blood or other kind of pact with full demon, even generations ago made pact might be the reason for Tiefling to be born.
Tieflings can have different kind of resemblance with their "core demon" like horns, wings, tail/s, eye color ect. or even all of them. It can vary with gender, age, how long it's been since the pact was made and with each individual too. The common thing to have is abnormal eye color or horns, wings usually only come as shrunken version of "core demon's". There's also two sub types to Tieflings: ones originated from infernal demons and ones originated from abyssal. Infernal Tieflings have normally red or orange colored features and abyssal ones have black, blue and violet. Infernals have normally spiky wings, tails and horns and abyssals more flat and smooth because there is huge pressure in the abyss. Tieflings are usually more resistant to fire and cold than humans are.
They lack straight weaknesses except very bright light, for example watching straight to the sun, will momentarily blind them. Some infernal Tieflings are also weak to holy energy since they're hellish creatures. Abyssal Tieflings don't have that kind of straight weaknesses but light is a bit more effective for them since their "core demon" used to live in abyss; in almost total darkness. Tieflings aren't usually physically strong. They're fast and accurate.
short, strong, fearless fighters
Typical Dwarves are short, strong, fearless and often arrogant towards other races. Their most common weapon is war axe. Heavy armoured and short footed they're slow, but they cover it with their strength and teamwork. If you piss off one Dwarf you'll probably have ten more coming after you. However, if you gain Dwarf's trust, they're extremely loyal and willing to fight for you.
It's not only male Dwarves that are fearless fighters. Female Dwarves are just as strong as their husbands. It might be hard to tell if Dwarf is a male or female: only difference is that females don't have beard.
As the tales tell they have a bad habit to drink too much, especially after a good, victorious fight. A good meal is also something they appreciate. Mountains are their home and they prefer dark caves over forests. However, now when the humans have forced them to hide, even Dwarves understand to be more careful.
Winged female warriors
Valkyries are fierce warriors. All Valkyries are female and they have grayish bird-like wings on their backs. They can hide their wings. When in battle field they're pretty heavily armoured and their most common weapon is some sort of spear.
In old tales Valkyries are the ones who decided which men stayed alive in the battle fields: they had the ability to resurrect them. Now day Valkyries might gain a similar ability. They can collect souls from the dead and raise a ghost army of warriors. However, the skill comes with conditions. First of all, they must be skilled warrior who have gained reputation among other Valkyries and maybe even among other mythical creatures. Secondly they must be at least 22 years old. Thirdly there must be no humans who could have seen them and stayed alive. Even if these three conditions fulfill they might not get the ability. It all depends if they get their god's blessing. And if humans capture them they lost their skill immediately.
Even if Valkyries are skillful warriors, they're not physically very strong. Their skills base on speed and accuracy. An unarmed Valkyrie that has no ability to raise warriors can easily be held down by a stronger man or even another female. Valkyries' also prefer to work alone, what also makes them more vulnerable.
Three headed hellhound
Cerberus is black, big, three headed dog with a serpent's tail. It can change its size from humans' waist height to three times higher than human. They can have from one to three tails. The amount of their tails tells how strong they are. Three-tailed Cerberus is extremely rare, but one-tailed is a joke among them. Cerberus has no human-like form, so they're easy to recognize.
They have ability to take control over fire and it can't hurt them either. Of course this makes them hate water. They can't stand daylight, although they don't burn or are killed by that. It just hurts their eyes and if Cerberus is too long in bright sunlight, they may become blind. They have, however, extremely good night vision.
Not a mythical creature
Ordinary people with ordinary jobs and ordinary daily life. Most of them doesn't believe in mythical creatures, others do but even they have never seen one (or at least haven't survived from it). Do they believe in myths or not: it's up to you.
There's three type of characters I would like to see. First a scientist, who doesn't believe in myths and goes after the rumors in order to reveal that they are fake. Secondly someone who just happens to come across the village, maybe a scout girl or a hiker. And thirdly someone who wants to make profit or benefit from paranormals some other way. The other three can be what ever you like. But I'm easy going and I can change those if your suggestion is good enough.

Character sheet:
Please note:
* All character age must be 16+.
* I only accept max two of each paranormal. Humans can be up to six.
* If you want to take two characters, go ahead! But in that case choose one mythical creature and one human.
* Also remember the story when you choose shapeshifter: cougar could have survived, rabbit not so likely.
* If there's some info ready in the character description (eg. gender) I prefer not to change it.
* I prefer to develop my characters and find out about other characters during the rp. You can add more personality, history, likes/dislikes, 10 more pics etc. if you want but it's more interesting to find out the stuff yourself, don't you think?

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 9 authors
As Re'nura was talking about dwarf Shena just answered with nod. ”I would come with you, but I have to find the one spying on us. He claimed not to deal with other humans but he's human. They lie, don't they?”
When she was in her thoughts she suddenly hear steps behind her back. She quickly draw her spear forward and turned around just to see a hooded creature. She narrowed her eyes before realizing it was a female tiefling. ”You don't look familiar.” she said to her then turning her head towards Re'nura who had already started leaving away. ”Hey Re'nura!” she shouted after him. ”Here's a fellow tiefling. Do you know her by any chance?” She then turned to look back at tiefling. ”Name is Shena Savil. My apologizes but I have no time to get know you right now. I'm tracking down a possible dangerous person. Maybe we see later.” she said, nodding at her and rose up to her wings. ”Have fun to be the one telling bad news, Re'nura” she shouted from air smirking.
She flew back to the places she had met the man and landed down well before the workers would see her. She heard them shouting with each other. There seemed to be chaos. She didn't pay attention anymore than that. She looked around her. Where would she head from here? Left. She had went to right, assuming the man was heading to the same way he had come from. Shena turned to left and trusting her instincts she walked forward.
Suddenly she heard' a distant voice. ”Ooman! Where are ye?” ”Ooman?” she wondered and walked closer to voice. She came to place where she saw a Cerberus. He seemed to be familiar. Then the memory came to her. ”You... Weren't you the one helping humans? Ah, let me guess. You have been helping one man again. Tell me, where did you hide him?”
The setting changes from Northern Europe to Tidenor Forest
Setting
0.00 INK
Travis strung out his bow, it still cloaked by the armor as well and he waited to see what she would do. He didn't need to kill it, or injure it. It would look bad on him in the forest community. But with the ways things were, he wasn't just going to let her finish him off.

Forgotten Myths
Most recent OOC posts in Forgotten Myths
Re: Forgotten Myths
But then into my real subject. I'm quite busy for the next two-three weeks because of video-project I'm working on. So I probably won't post very often. But I'm still here, checking everything goes well, and if you face any problems just PM/IM me :)
Re: Forgotten Myths
Since Jodhal is simply assuming that yer character will return, they're waiting for something in the spot when we first saw eachother. If you wanna find them or something, then that'd be great. PM or IM me so we could talk some more on this if you wish :D
Re: Forgotten Myths
Re: Forgotten Myths
The reason I haven't come up with bigger events since honestly, I haven't had time to think any. I have been running around from place to place the last two weeks. And I can't relax before Wednesday it seems. ((Did someone call this summer holiday?))
I actually had a plot but the characters I kind of needed for that...well...the writers haven't been on site after I started posting. The current lack of "evil" characters is a problem. And because of my "Go there, do that" rushing, I wasn't able to take a second character either. But now when I know this rp isn't dying I probably will and try to get this properly started again :D
And if you want you can always PM me, send some ideas :) I'm pretty easygoing, of course I have certain things I don't allow, in order to keep my original idea alive. Changing the rp isn't necessarily bad but I don't want the whole plot just vanish xD
Re: Forgotten Myths
However, creating a storyline and some kind of event/plot would be a perfect way to bring characters together and to get some more activity going on in the RP. I can help with those kind of developments, I love coming up with events and plots :D
Re: Forgotten Myths
Maybe if there was some sort of plot for our characters to react to and be taken through the RP can continue. But as it stands now everyone's just trying to make their own conflicts, which is also tough if most of us are practically on the same side.
I'm just giving my honest opinion here, because if you do open up the RP to new roles, it'll end up pretty much the same way. I joined this RP because I liked the idea and it's not like I want it to fail but if we don't have some degree of a plot or direction to follow it could. I can tell you're passionate about this RP Pantheran, and I will offer my help if you do want to create a storyline or something. Hope this helps.
Re: Forgotten Myths
Re: Forgotten Myths
Due the lack of of posting and writers who I assume aren't interested anymore (I say assume, because no one hasn't been answering my last OOC post and I was too lazy to send PMs though I'm going to do that later today) I will freeze the posting. I'm waiting three days and if I don't hear anything from you by Wednesday, I open your character role again.
I also post to Roleplayers wanted thread tomorrow. Hopefully we get some active writers and a fresh start for the rp :)
Re: Forgotten Myths
In case you're not interested anymore, please let me know. If there's several dropping out (although I hope there's not) I try to find more writers and either continue from now on or restart this.

Re: Forgotten Myths
Re: Forgotten Myths
This rp is going to start right now despite we don't have all the characters. I combined my posts with Kastrar, and you can do the same if you want.
Also there's plenty of places in my rp, try to check you're posting to correct setting (Veraloia, Tivel, Varisvaara, Tidenor Forest). If you want me to add one of the places in the map, let me know. I only did those we start from.
There's still open roles, I might take one of the humans myself later on. You can do another character if you're interested. And I still keep the current reservations.
Re: Forgotten Myths
b) Yes, I can reserve human 3 to you. Just make sure you read the intro and rules before posting your character ^^
Also I know there's currently reservation for human 3 but that's my mistake. That reservation belongs to human 6. I'm just too lazy to fix it at the moment.
EDIT:
I have opened several roles again. The free roles at the moment are Valkyrie2 and several human roles (and much likely Cerbesus2, that will be confirmed today). So if anyone wants to make second character, go ahead! I can't start this until we have more humans.
