The Zoo (RP!)
The Zoo (RP!)
Alright, so it's been awhile since I joined an RP and I sorta need a little boost in creativity, so here a new RP! You're an animal in a zoo. But there's a twist.
You've been trapped in this zoo for as long as you can remember. Hidden from the people, the only ones allowed to see you are the great powers that rule the world. You don't know who exactly they are, you take no notice of human nonsense, but you can sense the authority around their voices, their poster, the way they look at you as if you were nothing. Only they, with guns and large, deadly objects, walk up to your small cage. Sometimes they knock you unconscious, and when you wake, you notice scars and cuts that weren't there before. So many of The Zoo has been knocked and taken away, never to be heard of again, that it has become normal to wake up one day to another lonely cage. But you want to do something about this. You want to change this. You want to live in the world, you want to be free.
But it's nearly impossible, the humans would never allow you to be seen.
Why?
Because you don't exist.
And as far as they're concerned, you never will.
~
Dun dun dun!!!!!
Rules~
1. You may choose or create a mythical creature for The Zoo. Please no mary sues, I will not accept dragons, griffins, unicorns, or Pegasus without unique characteristics. Also, try to be unique. I would rather not have a million flying dragons and magical unicorns.
2. You may have as many characters as you like. Password is crow. These creatures don't tend to have parents, because after they are bred their parents are usually 'knocked'. You may have siblings.
3. No OP magical characters. Actually, no magic at all. You're a mythical creature, you can have gills, wings, cool-looking claws, and fangs, but no magic.
4. None of your characters remember their past lives if they were caught from the wild and not bred in captivity.
5. The global powers can be really anyone, from Russia's military force to Japan's military force, though I do prefer if the 'global powers' were top generals. The password is actually raven. This can develop as the plot moves forward.
6. The plot can move anywhere, though the main idea is that the creatures escape, and find a way to overthrow the humans or try to anyway.
7. I'd rather not have any human-based mythical creatures, but if it's relevant to the plot, maybe I'll accept one or two. The password is both of the ones listed before.
Alrighty, here's the charrie sheet! Sorry if I was a little bland and all over the place, just ask if you're confused with my randomness ideas.
Name (If you have one):
Age (about):
Gender (they don't have to have one):
Mythical creature name/assumption by humans (what you most look like):
Appearance (detailed plz!):
Personality (it will advance during the plot):
Hopes and dreams (what they hope to accomplish by escaping):

My charrie sheet!!!!!
Name (If you have one): Some call her 'Tigress' others call her 'Amaranth' she goes by either
Age (about): Fairly young, but not too young. About late teenage years.
Gender (they don't have to have one): Female
Mythical creature name/assumption by humans (what you most look like): Suea Peek
Appearance (detailed plz!): A giant tiger towers over the humans. The size of one and a half full grown men. She is the color of ivory, with a golden hinge around the oddly patterned black tiger stripes. One of her eyes is a piercing red, the color of Amaranth, while the other is a sparkling teal-blue. She has large fangs for her size, much like a saber-toothed cat. From her back springs bat-like wings, the bones feathered with iridescent colors not much different then a peacock's. The skin inbetween is a midnight blue, and down her spine the feathers came together to form a long feathered tail. Her claws are also very large, the same midnight blue as her wings. Her roar can kill a man, so her mouth is often bound.
Personality (it will advance during the plot): Timid, kind, has been abused too many times. She can't pay attention, she's very bad at it. Paces a lot. Restless. Have always wanted to fly. She's a fighter. Is the 'stronge personality' type. Makes dumb desitions in the heat of a moment. Lonley. Depressed. Fights her own battles, you could say. Has seen too many 'knocked'.
Hopes and dreams (what they hope to accomplish by escaping): She's always wanted to fly. She also wants everyone else to be safe, even at the cost of her own life. She wants her desendents to walk on the grass, and to fly in the sky. She wants everyone to be free.
Fears and weaknesses (self-explanatory): Afraid she'll be knocked, and can't fight back. Afraid she'll hurt someone, by accident. Afraid of the world, doesn't know if it's cruler than The Zoo. Afraid she'll fail everyone, and the humans will kill them all. Afraid of fear. Afraid of the demonds in her head.
Strengths (they don't have to know them): She can fly, her roaring is so loud it can kill a human at close range, her teeth and claws are deadly of course.
Any known living family members: If anyone wants to make a brother I'm down!
Password (ya go look for it): Ya you thought I'd write it here. *snorts* Go find it yourself.
Other/ships and stuff: Open to shipping, no preferance, though love isn't the main thing on her mind. Oh, and there's a scar in the shape of a heart on her shoulder that she swore she was born with. Also, she's kept in an enclosure with chains around her paws, tightly dissabling the release of her claws, and a band around her snout. It unlocks at a certain hour every day so she can eat.
Welp that's it! Have fun with this y'all!

Name (If you have one): Zarfoth Eilingsvorn (Translates to Rightful Firesworn)
Age (about): 307...she's actually quite young compared to most others of their speices.
Gender (they don't have to have one): F
Mythical creature name/assumption by humans (what you most look like): The humans assume they're called dragons, and yes, that is her speices, although her specific type is called the Fzorgatir.
Appearance (detailed plz!): she is large, almost twenty foot long lizard-like dragon with black scales and red accents around her joints, and on her horns and back. She has many battle scars, and her wings have many rips and tears in them from fighting in the Great War of Dragons. She has a pattern of red scales on her chest that prclaim her to be among the royal family of Fzorgatir...And a high-ranking one at that. of course, she doesn't remember how she got the scars or rips, or what the markings mean...she just knows they're important.
Personality (it will advance during the plot): She is quiet, but confident and not shy, she just knows that when you listen, you hear more. She is a good judge of character, though she still takes a while to become friends with people/creatures, because she knows that it hurts when a friend dies. she's also always very hungry.
Hopes and dreams (what they hope to accomplish by escaping): Find more of her speices, figure out what her markings mean, and discover how she was captured. Also, go to a FEAST!!!
Fears and weaknesses (self-explanatory): Um...to be determined, though i've decided she's scared of the Wrangler, who is a human who basically goes around feeding them unsufficient quantities of food and whipping them
Strengths (they don't have to know them): She is a good judge of character, she's good at fighting, and really want her to shapeshift, but you said no in the rules, so no. She does have a gland in the back of her throat that lets her breathe acid...and no, it's not a magical power, google bombardier beetle
Any known living family members: i'd be fine if somebody gave her a sibling.
Password (ya go look for it): Raven
Other/ships and stuff: Open to shipping

Hey can I ask you to change that charrie sheet around a bit? I know I wasn't all that clear, but I don't want yall to be the 'stereotypical' mythical creatures. Your dragon is a little bland. I like the whole poison spitting thing though, it's different. Also, can we stay away from creating kindoms of dragons or unicorns and such? Sure they can be from a pack or herd, but no empires. The whole idea is that the humans are capturing whats left of these anceint beings and hiding them/using their abilities/studying them, without anyone knowing. So, no kingdoms or anything like that. Small tribes are okay though. Also, keep your age ranges realistic, nothing past a gaint tortious. And if your creature is big, they tend to have shorter lives. Just keep that in mind. ;)
Again, this goes for everyone...so just keep that in mind. *smiles innocently* I want you all to have fun with it! I haven't seen that many RPs so just have fun with it all guys! Also, theres new people that I sorrta wanna get to know, and what better way then an RP?
(April 11, 2018 - 6:46 pm)
Actually, i'm gonna make a different charrie to replace the dragon:
Name (If you have one): Zarfath Eilingsvorn (Translates to Rightful Firesworn)
Age (about): 23
Gender (they don't have to have one): F
Mythical creature name/assumption by humans (what you most look like): Zanvozi, but the humans call her a "Werecat"
Appearance (detailed plz!): She is humanoid, with a cats head, black fur, and claws. Her eyes are green with gold flecks and she is heavily scarred. She has a tattoo of a flame on her shoulder, and one of her claws is lopped off.
Personality (it will advance during the plot):She is quiet, but confident and not shy, she just knows that when you listen, you hear more. She is a good judge of character, though she still takes a while to become friends with people/creatures, because she knows that it hurts when a friend dies. she's also always very hungry. Like i said, she is normally quiet, but when she fights she is like a roaring wildfire.
Hopes and dreams (what they hope to accomplish by escaping): Find more of her species, figure out what her marking mean, and discover how she was captured. Also, go to a FEAST!!! i may add to this later
Fears and weaknesses (self-explanatory): Um...to be determined, though i've decided she's scared of the Wrangler, who is a human who basically goes around feeding them unsufficient quantities of food and whipping them
Strengths (they don't have to know them): She is a good judge of character, she's good at fighting, and otherwise to be determined.
Any known living family members: if you want to make one it's fine by me.
Password (ya go look for it): Raven.
Other/ships and stuff: Open to shipping. Also, she's kept in the enclosure next to the Tigress's and has the same restraints. Her people are tribes who keep away from humans and live on a magically concealed island in the middle of the Pacific. She can speak English along with the Feline language.

Can I reserve? I don’t have time to make a charrie sheet and won’t have time until Saturday or maybe Friday, Havent slept for 19 hours so I’m not really in the mood for writing(even though I love it). Sorry!
(April 12, 2018 - 3:01 pm)
Name (If you have one): Echosea
Age (about): Very young, about seven or eight human years.
Gender (they don't have to have one): Male
Mythical creature name/assumption by humans (what you most look like): I'd say they look most like a phoenix, but not a firebird, just the general shape. The species is called a chidaya samudra. (water bird in Hindi- they naturally live in India)
Appearance (detailed plz!): About the size of a crow. Looks like they're formed out of water, and the water(gray-blue river water, though it changes) is always moving, little waves and tides on the phoenix-like bird. Most of the time it's like feathers, solidifying a bit into that shape. You can't plunge your hand into them or anything, but touching them does feel like touching the surface of water. Chidaya samudri (plural is samudri- singular is samudra) used to fly over India when it was moonson season, brought by the thundering rain.
Personality (it will advance during the plot): Just came to the Zoo, can't remember anything. Vulnerable and nervous. Over the few months they've spent in the Zoo, they've learned to hide that, not speaking and trying to look intimidating by turning into thundercloud water and flashing with little bits of lightning. It does't work very well, but it makes the other animals not be very friendly to them.
Hopes and dreams (what they hope to accomplish by escaping): What they really want is to find their family again, but they can't remember them. They also want to feel safe, and return to the river where they were born so they can float in the currents again.
Fears and weaknesses (self-explanatory): Afraid of a lot of things, doesn't know how to deal with life in the Zoo yet.
Strengths (they don't have to know them): Can turn into pure water(doesn't know), can bring rain(not much chance to use that), hopeful and determined(thinks of hopeful as not a strength, only shows determination later in the RP.)
Any known living family members: Their mother and sister are still free, and they are the last chidaya samudra in the world.
Password (ya go look for it): Raven
Other/ships and stuff: Too young for ships, occasionally remebers little things/gets deja vu. Sister is named Lightningbright and mother is Riversong, but they aren't in the Zoo and so won't be in the RP much.
(April 12, 2018 - 6:38 pm)
Can I reserve? I need to go to bed.
(April 12, 2018 - 7:51 pm)
This sounds so much fun! I need an RP to be part of.
Name (If you have one): Razorclaw
Age (about): 31 years
Gender (they don't have to have one): M
Mythical creature name/assumption by humans (what you most look like): Everyone assumes is a dragon, but really is a Snallygaster.
Appearance (detailed plz!): (Note: largely based off Pottermore's version of a Snallygaster) Part-bird and part-reptile. His face looks much like a feathery dragon, the teeth inside razor sharp. The front and back claws look more avian, yet black in color. He has two bird-like wings on it's back and a long tail with a few feathers on the end. The body is a bit like a wolf's in shape, not too long, yet not a very short body either. About 8 ft high.
Personality (it will advance during the plot): Curious and can be hard to scare, yet cautious upon aproaching something new. Distrusts humans at the zoo. Gets really angry at grammar and spelling mistakes.
Hopes and dreams (what they hope to accomplish by escaping): Getting away from the horrible zoo, and perhaps helping others escape. Maybe find out what the heck those important people are doing here looking at us. I'm curious.
Fears and weaknesses (self-explanatory): Bad grammar and spelling can make him go haywire and mad. Ferocity and time it takes to cool off depend on how many mistakes and how bad they are. Fears accidently hurting someone in rage. Also has trypophobia, though dosen't know this yet due to not that many holes in the zoo.
Strengths (they don't have to know them): bullet-proof hide, flight, hard to scare.
Any known living family members: None
Password (ya go look for it): Raven
Other/ships and stuff: N/A

Mythical creature name: Wisp (I created this species)
Appearance: She looks a lot like a housecat. Her ears and eyes are slightly larger, and she is the size of a squirrel. Her fur is cream colored with brown speckles. Her tail is extra long, with a tuft of fur at the end, and her eyes are jade green. She used to have small purple horns, but they have been sawed almost completely off. all that remains now are stubs. She has two large butterly wings, each about the same size as her body, that have many different colors, making them look like stained glass. She cannot fly with them, only jump higher and float for short periods of time. She has a tag in one of them, keeping her from using them to possibly escape. She also has many scars, from her time at the zoo.
Personality: She is very shy and quiet. She is also anxious nad afraid most of the time. Her emotional state is a bit fragile. She is also very clever, and quick-witted. She can barely trust anyone, however, because of The Zoo. It makes her very lonely. She hopes to find a friend one day. She is also an avid daydreamer!
Hopes and dreams: To finally be able to fly; to have a friend she can trust; to be free!

(April 14, 2018 - 8:00 pm)
Name (If you have one): Ulysses
Age (about): 16
Gender (they don't have to have one): Male
Mythical creature name/assumption by humans (what you most look like): To humans, he looks like a normal red fox-- until they see his extra eye.
Appearance (detailed plz!): Ulysses is smaller than an average red fox. His left ear has a tear in it, from one time he got in a fight with a bigger fox (and lost). On the center of his forehead, there is a golden eye that functions just as well as his other two eyes. He also has a lot of scars and nicks from when the people knock him unconscious.
Personality (it will advance during the plot): Ulysses is quiet and reserved, and kind of a pushover. He is not that confident and doesn't usually take the role of the leader. He is a people-pleaser, and usually clams up if pressured. He doesn't really trust other people that often, either.
Hopes and dreams (what they hope to accomplish by escaping): He wants to find his forest again, and maybe look for his family members (if they're alive, that is).
Fears and weaknesses (self-explanatory): He's scared of being left alone, and he's not confident. He's also scared of birds.
Strengths (they don't have to know them): He can think fast under pressure, and his eye can glow.
Any known living family members: He thinks there could be a chance one of his family members is still alive, but it's unlikely.
Password (ya go look for it): Crow/Raven
Other/ships and stuff: He's open to shipping, but I'd prefer that he isn't influenced by shipping that much.
(April 15, 2018 - 4:41 pm)
