This RP has been done before, year 2002 on a forum community I was strongly apart of. Based on an anthropomorphic universe in which my strongest characters existed.
I have invited a guest and old time RP'ing veteran, (I still call him Rico) to join in on this RP. And he has happily obliged to do so =)
so what kind of world is this? Well the characters are 100% anthropomorphic animals (foxes, cats, dogs, etc, etc) and while I know most of everyone on here has never had such characters, think of this as an opportunity to be creative! Make up your own children animal characters.
The story takes place in Xandrea Elementary, my characters consists of Timothy and Nichole, who are twin brother and sister foxes, Elex, the young fawn buck, Aron the wolf (the Bully) and several others.
Post questions here and I'll explain more.
-
Is it an adventure, more of a social sort of rp, or some other sort of rp?
It's not a new idea to me, rping as an anthro, or a furry/scalie as some of us use the term for yourselves. Much more of a scalie then a furry personally, though I know foxes and wolves are extremely popular among furries. For those who may have a strong dislike of us scalies/furries or say all of us are sick/weird/ect I"ll just give you the middle finger, or if your British their equivalent and say to each their own.
-
well, it taes place on school grounds... hallways, recess fields, playgrounds, cafeteria, etc, etc
-
I guess like the early parts of LBT 3 I guess. Avoiding the bullies and trying to not get beaten up on. Social sort or rp sounds like.
-
on the other forums, there were the types who stood up to Aron and his gang evertrime he tried to hurt Timothy or any other small child.
so there may be some scenes that'll require a fight of sorts... oh, and the teachers and the principle dont seem to care much, unless one of the victims swing back
-
Sounds like it'd be a mammal/furry only, no scalies or other types. Sounds like the school I went to as a kid and teen. The adults do not care until someone throws a punch then both get in trouble, even if one of them never threw a punch and got all beaten up he still gets in trouble.

you mean like this?:

-
Yes. Guess I can do a fox like the majority will do. I'd have to research foxes to get the personality right. More of a scalie myself instead of a furry.
-
I wasnt using that strip to convert you into a furrie, Kor, I was simply using that as an example about teacher's not caring who hit first =P
-
Also, Kor, since you prefer reptoids over furries, I figured it'd be okay for you to go ahead and use one. In this time period on Lyferia, the reptilian races are a bit more accepted by the furry races.
though I must warn you, Aron and his gang of bullies would target you for being so different XD
I may concider adding a reptoid child to my character roster
-
I don't know anything about reptoids and with the sheer mass of posts in 2 other rp threads I was in it's hard to think about anything. I'll have to think about all that later, along with if I should continue at all.
-
I may be inviting another friend to the forums for this RP, she has a veteran status as well with the series that this RP was based on
-
Converting them to furry? Man, you on a board for fans of a cartoon movie starring anthropomorphic dinosaurs. You're just a bit late on the converting, lol.
Regardless, I can't really use the one I used the last time you tried this. That character is grown up now. However, I still have Rico's son or his adopted son I can use.
I'd have to turn the former into some form of animal, unless you allow humans.
Also... no, no, thats it. Unless you want a recipe for rabbit stew to take to Millie there.

-
well, I've pondered the existence of humans in this series several times before.. there have been humans, yes, but I often wondered if they actually fit well with the furries.
Well, if that's what you want to play, I suppose it wouldnt hurt to give it a try =)
furries, reptoids, whatever works
-
I just need information on the reptoids if I do those. I guess they'd be hated like African Americans were in the early days of schools being integrated.
-
Well, perhaps something like that.. only not as extreme.
Lyferia has its clans and Black Panthers style groups, but the world in general has come to accept the other species as a whole
Not much you need to know about the reptoids, I gave you a brief version of their history last night while on MSN. But in these days, they are much less tribal, and do not worship the same dragons and gods that they used to
Reptiles and Mammals exists in this universe as blacks and whites do in our universe today
-
I'd need a bit more, what shapes they are in, ect. but no need to do that here. And not sure if I want to rp here much anymore with the falling behind so fast and all. Feels liek I have to stay connected here 24/7 to not fall behind. Threehorn's rp right now is the only one I'm not totally lost on so odds are I'd be totally lost in this rp also.
-
I have to admin a board filled with roughly 6000 accounts of insufferable sonic fans. You can keep up with me.
~Tobe
-
No, I can't keep up here with any rp threads but one and that is Threehorn's rp thread, all the others I"m TOTALLy lost on. Has to be something wrong with me since I'm the only one not TOTALLY lost.
-
Man, you need to relax (http://www.tonkawatribe.com/bofh/emo.jpg) a little. so you fall behind. This board is small enough and quiet enough that people can take the time to explain it all.
Short of that, I don't know you, so I'll take your word for it that you have issues. :p
~Tobe
-
It's not just falling behind from their posting to fast, it's how to you explain certain characters doing nothing. Like the klingons beam onto the enterprise bridge and get into a fight, but Captain Kirk sits there and does nothing after talking to Spock and McCoy who are on the bridge and were talking to him just before the fight began. That is what I mean, there is no real logical reason you can say Captain Kirk, or certain other characters I am doing in certain threads, have been totally silent and doing nothing this whole time. I'm a stickler for what makes sense and continuity but to me certain things have to make sense. As in this case, Captain Kirk would not just sit there and do nothing in that situation, and no character would do nothing for 1 or several pages of posts taking place in the same spot where they are.
-
Our answer was a "Strict" RP. One where everyone takes turns. Once you post, everyone else has to post before you can again. But that only seems to work well on paper.
~Tobe
-
This could make for an interesting RPG. Anthropomorphic characters always make things interesting. I'm not usualy into "social" RPGs, but this one looks good. I also like the reptoid backgrounds, since that's my thing. I like Reptiles alot, so I'm always amking reptailian characters.
-
ah, then that makes four potential posters to this RP.. and I have a friend outside these forums who says she may join
so a possible five contenders =)
shall we begin?
-
I'd like that, but the others should get a say in it, as well.
-
I've watched people via 'checking online users' option and seen people come by this thread and go... so I'm a bit skeptic about interest =P
we can hold for another day if need be
-
Alright, gives me more time to work on my character.
-
I've been following along for the past several post now..and I'm interested as well...I'll join as soon as my midterm project is done!
-
I would need to pmed any info about reptoids I'd need to make a character. Also not sure if I"d do a male or female character, depends on the char ratio.
Maybe waiting another day or so may be best, some folks who rp seem to only have time to come here a few times a week or so, so maybe give them time, and if you are extra buzy weekends it may be best to wait for that reason also.
-
uhm.. I'll tell you what, Kor... instead of going through all that trouble, how would you like to play Mim?.. your dino character?
its an open offer free for the taking
-
Didn't think dinos existed in that world.
-
I might could make a slight exception here... after all, with so many Bully RP's made in this same manner, I dont think all of them have to be cannon to my series =P
-
As long as you are sure. What age should she be? And I"d likely need time to try to make up a personality with no back story. Still feels odd since I thought no dinos were around, but it could be a parallel universe or earth 2 type of place maybe.
-
I might consider trying this one...I'd play a teacher of course. :P: Unsure of the species....definitely will be furry though.
-
Would it be possible for me to join as an elf? Elves kick @$$.
-
Would it be possible for me to join as an elf? Elves kick @$$.
Uh....
it would be diferent =P
I'm not sure how to answer that
edit: That wasnt to sound rude or anything. I just cant picture an elf in this kind of universe..so Ireally dont know how to aproach that
-
If you can't, I can always think of something else. It would probably be like the Eagles from the Lord of the Rings.
-
Just to set the record straight, I will only be able to make one post a day...and depending on which day it is, not until after 8pm so this will be a very slow paced RP. ;)
Kapesh?
-
Understood, Petrie ;)
-
*pops up and waves* hullo! surprise former player of this concept, here! I'll be joining in as the school's resident anti-hero/awesome, Ryan.
A coyote morph and very much confident in his own awesome. More details, and some surprises as things progress. Also, my posting will be about once a day. ^^;
I return this thread to the mastermind! Aves?
-
Ah, Marcus! My old RP brother!
how are you this fine night?
glad to see you pop in at random =D
RP Brothers again, I hope =) I've missed the action
-
Indeed. if you excuse, I'll be getting the prank supplies and the accent together. it's been a while since I was Coyote.
-
I see you brought your old wedgie'o'mattic.. I'm sure that mean old Aron would appreciate a demonstration of it soon =)
-
So what age ranges are the characters?
-
preferably 10 to 15.
-
I see, pre teens to young teens. I guess folks will be limited to x number of posts per day?
-
Personally, I think that an elf, like reptiles and humans, would make the RP more unique.
-
It depends if there are any elves in the world or not. There are not elves in every fictional world, even though they are in a lot.
-

I have failed in my reading of fantasy to find a world without elves. Yet. I probably will one day find a fantasy novel without elves.
-
I've read some, some fantasy worlds had humans only. I think Spellsinger had only humans and anthro animals. If I recall correctly the wizard in that book was an anthro turtle.
-
Still, in every fantasy novel I have read, elves kick @$$ in some way or another.
Examples:
Legolas in Lord of the Rings
Arya in Eragon
Julius Root and Holly Short in Artemis Fowl
-
I use to read a lot of fantasy, for around 20 years, but sorta lost interest. I read one fantasy that had only humans, and non anthro cats in it, with both being sentient, but humans didn't know the cats were.
-
Well, I still think that elves are awesome.
-
Well, I really don't think Elves would fit in this RPG. It's just me, but Elves really don't fit.
-
Players play as anthropomorphic personifications, right?
-
Yes, an Elves aren't anthropomorphic animals, they're huminiod beings with pointy ears and magic powers.
-
Well, anthropomorphic personifications have human characteristics. So do elves. They could fit into this RP without too much confusion.
-
Aves and Aves alone is the one who says what fits into it's world since it made the world. Sounds to me like you are trying to argue about that.
-
If I seem to be arguing, I apologize.
I am just trying to prove a point. It should be feasibly possible to work elves into this RP.
-
It's up to Aves if elves exist or not in it's world. If they do not maybe he can suggest a species that is similar to elves in some way, their view of living as part of nature, or some other aspect that is similar to what most elves are like in the few fiction I've read them in. The vast majority of the fantasy books I read didn't have any elves in them, but were human only worlds.
-
I prefer elves. They are just awesome. If not, something elvenoid (like anthropomorphic except with elvish characteristics) would be great.
-
It may have to be mamalian, like a rabbit, fox, weasel, or some other like that, or a reptoid type. That will between you and Aves though. It seems to similar to the races in spellsinger. Mostly anthro animals with humans also being around.
-
I thought people notice that I coin a lot of words.
Personally, I would like to be elvish or an anthropomorphic dragon.
-
I like dragons quite a bit also, but I doubt there are any, I'm doing a reptilian reptoid type instead. The choices have to come from what fits into Aves's world and the races that are already present.
-
lbt/cty_lover, you seem really determined to be a fantasy based character in this RP.
I'm just not 100% sure they'd fit into a modern day school environment with anthro mammals (and possibly reptoids)
everytime you say elf, I imagine Elrond walking amongst the children in the school hallways... it looks silly in my mind's eye
so I still cant give you a straight answer.. I'll think more on it before the RP is posted up this Monday
-
When I read your post, I thought of Elrond walking through school hallways. I burst out laughing and couldn't type for five minutes.
I just like fantasy. It is awesome with its mythical creatures.
-
Not all fantasy has mythical creatures in it, though some does. The Elrond image was pretty funny, though not meant as that. Sounds like a good scene from a Weird Al Video.
-
But there are still quite a few that do.
-
Sounds like an argument trying to get started. Think I"ll stay out of this thread, just wait till the rp starts and pm Aves any questions I have or other stuff.
-
See this post. (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=2572&view=findpost&p=8943988)
I am not trying to argue. I prefer to think of it as debating.
Also, I have decided to drop the elf thing. That doesn't fall under the category of "animal", as stated in the first post.
I will, however, stand with the dragons until a decision has been made.
-
Oh gods, Elrond walking through school hallways. That would be odd. Dragons might work, but ultimatly, it's up to Aves.
-
I've decided my teacher character will be an (unreastically) 30 year old hare. His name will be Chipper. Should be interesting having the teacher play the teacher. :p
-
lbt/cty_lover, been reading Ozy and Millie much? Ozy and Millie are both children anthro foxes, though Ozy's adopted father is a Dragon...
so I suppose that could be fitting if you could shape your character like the dragon in the supplied strip:
(http://www.ozyandmillie.org/comics/om20071217.gif)
Also, I look forward to seeing you teacher character in action, Petrie =)
-
I was actually going to mold my character around myself. I find myself as more of a rebellious teenager. However, I am smart. So I could modify the dragon so that it is more like me.
-
That could work. :)
-
What I'm also considering is playing two teachers...the one I mentioned who's generally a pleasant teacher, and another who is much more strict. It'll seem more realistic then I think, because there's always those teachers you knew of as nice, and those that were strict.
-
I think that, along with my student character, I might do a teacher. Any animal suggestions?
-
I'm going to play as a brother and sister pair of... some sort of reptile, something like, perhaps, Leopard Geckos. Yeah! Leopard Geckos!
-
How do we know when everyone has made an intro post to where we can move on? lbt_cty are you still taking teachers? The teachers I'm playing are a hare and a gray fox. Doesn't matter the species really since it seems the geckos are the size of normal humans.
-
I'll also add this while its on my mind. There is no cuss filter on this board (at least none that is enabled) so if your character in the story says "You fucking idiot!" that's how it will stay. While its not necessary to write something like that to move the story along, its not forbidden either if you choose to write it down. In a sad sense, its typical to hear that out of kids mouths. :(
-
I'll probably do an eagle for my teacher.
-
Aves will have to say if there are any avians in the world in that case, maybe there are, maybe not, I don't know personally. He'd also have to say if they can fly or not.
-
I will definitely name the teacher, independent of species, Mr. Dent, and he will be a mathematics teacher.
-
Sounds good, would be odd to have only kids and no teachers in the rp I guess.
-
Does anybody have a clue as to where I got the name "Mr. Dent"?
-
From I think the character's name was Arthur Dent, from the hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy? Though I maybe wrong.
-
This was handled privately, but postings will be similar to what is seen in novels or literature. So *smirks* becomes "he/she smirked".
-
Dang, My charries needs them somethin ta do.
-
all in due time, I suppose
just wait for the right momment..dont try to force yourself to post when the timing is not right.. we do not need excessive posts like that
-
From I think the character's name was Arthur Dent, from the hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy? Though I maybe wrong.
Correct! I love H2G2.
-
What are everybody's individual plans for this RP?
-
I don't have any. I don't bring any story or plot into someone else's rp, unlike some other folks do. Which is one reason I"ll never gm here, though that is another topic.
-
What I mean is, how are you going to interpret the plot?
-
I let the gm run the plot. I just rp my character to the best of my ability while having fun.
-
Same here. Do you have any side-plots planned?
-
no, I don't bring in any side plots into someone else's thread they are gming. The only way I would is if I were a co-gm of the thread.
-
Wouldn't something like a relationship between characters be considered a side-plot?
If not, what would you call that?
-
It might...unless the GM permits it. Otherwise I do see them as a sideplot.
-
If the gm permits it would be a side plot. A minor side plot likely since it would not involve half or the whole group of player characters, just the 2.
