The Mortalis Conclavis.

The Mortalis Conclavis, The House of Dreams, is a wonderful place inhabited by a beautiful but lonely Goddess. In desperation for companionship, she offers to grant a wish to anyone who will agree to live with her in heaven. But there is always a catch...

What has happened?

She comes to you at your most vulnerable, while you sleep, in a dream, offering you the one thing you most desire, the thing you have desired. Her hair is a brilliant gold, and her eyes shine like an emerald fire. Her skin is iridescent; the most beautiful creature you've ever seen. Her name is Manera, and she is the Goddess of Love.

“Make your wish,” she says with a voice like a beautiful tinkling bell, “any wish at all. I will grant it to you. But, you must live with me in heaven. My home, Mortalis Conclavis is the House of Dreams. You will be very happy there, and you will make me happy.”

You make your wish, and just as she promised, she grants it. Now, after a year, you must keep your promise. You fall into a deep sleep, and when you wake, you are in the House of Dreams, a large and majestic mansion in the skies. It's beautiful and elegant, with long stretching corridors, and spacious, comfortable rooms. The gardens outside bear exotic and breathtaking foliage. At first, everything seems perfect. But after a while, strange things begin to occur . . .

The Plot:

This RP takes place in the Goddess' House of Dreams. Your first post will start with you falling asleep post a year of Manera granting your wish. Once you arrive there after having your wish granted, you realize that you are not alone. Others like you, from varying time periods arrived in the same manner you did. You have all come to live with the Goddess. But, every great gift comes with a price.

Manera demands that you become her “pets,” and as time wears on, strange things begin to happen to you. You shift into an animal form. These shifts occur slowly at first, but they become more frequent the longer you remain at Leatus Dominionate. You realize, that unless you can find a way out of the House of Dreams, one day you shift into an animal and never shift back.

Some extra information for the RP:

You all begin your posts with falling asleep thinking about the year etc, then you will wake up in the house of dreams, it is the plot line that you will soon discover the great catch that comes with Manera’s gift. No one will have known about it previously.

Each player may pick their own animal. Any animal is fair game, I'll even allow some mythical creatures. There will however only be one of each. Manera likes variety. You may also pick the time period which you come from: past, present, future. I’ll keep a record of who has what animal in the first OOC post. I’ll also be doing a small “what’s happening right now” in the first post so if you are unsure just check there!” If you’re unsure about anything just ask! 

You all arrive at the same time no matter what time period you come from unless granted permission by myself to arrive later/earlier.

The wish you had granted can be whatever you want whether it be saving someone from death or having lots of riches. You can’t carry your wish with you into the House of Dreams, whatever you wished for stays on Earth. You had a total of one year with this wish, no more no less. You may or may not have known this depending on how you interacted with Manera in your initial contact with her.

Anything else I can think of I’ll put here or in the OOC posting. Have I not covered anything or if you’re unsure just ask me!

Other extra information:

Please use this Character Skeleton:

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance: (I don’t mind pictures but please include a written description as well)
Personality:
History: (Including when Manera came to you and what your wish was and how it turned out. It’d be great if here you could explain why you made the wish you did, your motivation etc.)
Your animal form: (Same with appearance, please include any extra attributes you may have, for example a hawk will be able to fly but have excellent eyesight also)
Any other skills: (For example if you were particularly strong or had a talent for distraction or translation!)

Usual rules apply.

Also I find it a pity that most roleplays seem to die so quickly, so if something is taking over your life or you can’t reply as often or you need a catch up just let me know because sometimes it can happen and I’d like to make this a fun and long experience for everyone! I will personally commit to posting at least twice a week!
