Spirit Animals RP?
I was looking back at old RPs, and I found that I particularly enjoyed Claaws's Spirit Animal RP. I considered what I liked and it's flaws. I am using some of the ideas from the RP (if you see this, Claaws and former members of the RP, let me know if this is ok!), as well as using some of my own.
In a world that looks almost exactly like ours, there is something peculiar. In history books, they mention lost texts about magic, and modern magic. Magic, unfortunately, is feared. A thousand years ago, the "Shadow King" terrorized the continent with dragon blood, which gave him magical abilities. Magic can only be gained by blood or artifical means, which made the humans very weak against his powers. The Shadow King killed all he considered a threat, and was killed by King Quentin Thorn and Queen Theresa Thorn, who crowned themselves the new lord of the realm. The Thorn King and Queens have ruled since that time peacefully, and hunted down everyone with magical abilities.
Yet in every hundred thousand individuals, they are born with animal magic. They are known as Anima. Anima are considered dangerous outlaws, and will be hunted down if their abilities are discovered by the Thorn Kings. Anima can change into their spirit animal, and each have a unique magic associated with it in addition to their ability to speak to their animal species. Anima live very long, yet many get hunted down before reaching their full magical potential. The password is "spina rosas". An Anima of the past called Crow is famous for his skill, abilities, and age, yet some rumors say he still lurks in the forests. Everyone in school is taught to fear magic and learn to hunt down anyone who possesses it. It is uncertain how people become Anima, for even one who is kept far away from magic can become one.
Currently, there is news of an Anima rebellion, hidden somewhere in the realm to demand to the king to not hunt down Anima. The King has formed the Hunter's League in response, training skilled Anima hunters to put them down.
If you are an Anima, you can be already with the rebellion, or going around your normal life. Maybe you've joined the Hunter's League unaware of your powers.
You can have as many as two charries. Do be specific with the animal, and no two people can have the same animal(it can be a similar species, but not the same). If it is a domestic animal, do include what breed it is. Do not be too broad (ex. beetle), but mentioning a specific subspecies is not necessary. As long as we understand what the general shape and appearance of the animal is.
If you are a human, do remove the sections below that say "animal" and "animal appearance".
All characters going about their normal life and not with the rebellion would begin in Fountain Point High School. I will help push the story along once we begin.

Welcome one and all! I present my charrie! @Everyone, do mention your magical skill in the skills section! Remember to make drawbacks!
Name: Valerie Amaterasu Patrick
Age: 15
Animal: Honey badger (I'm doing something different)
Personality: Can be ferocious when those close to her get hurt, but is quite tough and friendly(but won't just let anyone be her friend). A bit of a tomboy, but still rather not wear something with bad design(ex. will not wear a shirt with a darker shade around the armpits [not sweat, just shirt design] unless absolutely necessary).
Human Appearance: Tall, slightly tanned skin, brown eyes, tends to wear black clothing, white hair that goes to her shoulders along with bangs.
Animal Appearance(shared markings, coloration, etc.): Most honey badgers look the same, so not much, except slightly larger than the average female honey badger.
Skills (do include how well he/she is at transforming if Anima): Not quite the best at transforming, but can use her magical ability (Tunnel Sense, which allows her to sense and "map" tunnels in a building or underground along with roughly predicting the location and number of beings in them. Has very limited range and can use it up to 12hrs without rest) quite well. Does soccer, and knows a bit about fighting with knives.
Background: Father died from a heart attack and mother died from childbirth. Adopted by Sir Ambrose Burnside the Fourth of the Hunter's League (who is single), and trained by him with fighting knives with the goal of making her a part of the league. When visiting the jungles of Kapra on a vacation trip, she was searching for something to buy in the market when a man selling beans told her "You're an Anima. There is no need to be afraid. I am one too. Be careful." This mysterious man called "Fell" showed her his scaled arm which he claims was "a permanent scar on an failed attempt at transformation" as proof of trust and helped her discover and perfect her ability in secret. On the day she was to leave, he was gone and never seen again. She continued her life mostly normally, and hopes to join the rebellion.
Password: haha (spina rosas)
Other: i'll start
This human character may not show up for a long while...
Name: Fell
Age: ???
Personality: Quiet and mysterious
Human Appearance: Scaled arm
Skills: ???
Background: Helped Valerie learn her skills

EYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I know isn’t my originality great.
(June 28, 2018 - 4:20 pm)
Can i join? if so, can i have a non-Anima mage?
(June 28, 2018 - 11:08 am)
You are free to join, but as mentioned in the rules of the world, magic is passed by blood. Maybe you can be a human who was injected with a magical creature's blood. There should be limitations to the magic as always, and there is always risk for the human and the company involved to be shut down by the rulers and hunted down. Blood injected humans would be far rarer than Anima due to the risks involved.
(June 28, 2018 - 12:32 pm)
OK!
Cindy's special skill is that she can throw a net of queitness over a group of people. So, everyone withen the queit bubble can talk but other people can't hear them OR the people in the queit bubble can't talk. She can only do this for about three hours. She get sleepier and sleepier the longer she holds it.
Here's my other charrie!
Name: Owen Chase
Age: 15
Animal: lion
Personality: TBD
Human Appearance: brown hair, golden eyes
Animal Appearance: a golden-brown lion with a dark red mane.
Skills: He's good at turning into his lion and for three hours make people be braver and stronger than they are. However this uses up his strenght and bravery so he often needs to rest.
Background: When he was four he and his sister were playing and turned into their animals. he ran off into the woods where he got found by the resistance. He's been living their ever since.
Password: spina rosas
Other: He's been living with the resistance.

Hey Storm can Aerron be a mythical anima? Ha. Pun totally intended.
(June 28, 2018 - 3:16 pm)
Or she could've been part of an experiment that changed her anima form... Something like that. I think that since there is already magic, mythical animas (ha) shouldn't be off limits.
(June 28, 2018 - 3:19 pm)
Rouge, Storm said no. That means no. But she did say you could be a regular human ingected with mythical blood so you have magic. But u can’t shift into mythical creatures.
(June 28, 2018 - 4:18 pm)
I'm changing Zan's pseudonym she uses to Iesha Toring. I realized her using a fake name contradicts the honesty of her personality so I'm making it more realistic: Iesha and Toring are her middle names.
And @Moonfrost, if Owen's personality ends up being mostly opposite Zan's, relatively speaking, would you like to ship them?
(June 28, 2018 - 7:20 pm)
I shall begin! Everyone starts at the high school unless they are already with the rebellion (do reference my giant history above) Some characters are NOT within the 14-18 age range of the typical high schooler, so do make adjustments if necessary, but that is minor.
~ Valerie
I strolled into my classroom, sat down at my desk and looked up at the clock. The history classroom's clock pointed at about 7:50, which meant ten more minutes before the bell rang.
"Did you hear?" someone was whispering.
"What?"
"They say Princess Zoe Thorn is coming to visit tomorrow!"
"She comes every year to promote the Hunter's League! It will get boring by eleventh grade."
"But still!"
I was about to begin snoring when the teacher burst into the room.
"Welcome again! Remember that in these few months, we will be discussing the rise and fall of the Shadow King and the early years of Thorn King rule."
We all went silent and did work as usual about the politics and such before the Shadow King.
"Now," the teacher said, her eyes watching us all. "Before we begin talking about the Shadow King himself, we must clarify that he is not an Anima. He was injected with lots of dragon blood by a the Vampire Blood Donation Corperation. The Corperation has been utterly destroyed because of this reason and that vampires do not exist with no mention in any text ancient or otherwise and also they were using the blood for similar experiments."
I straightened my back. The Shadow King is one of those facinating subjects you cannot ignore.

~Fell
New Info: Anima resistance camp located within cave system under a ridge in the forests.
Left Arm Condition: Scaly as usual, but no harm done.
What to do: Observe and wait for the moment to find Anima.
~~~~~~
Vampires are nonexistent in this world. Below is a family tree of sorts of the current Thorn royal family. More can be added, for this is following the current royal line. More distant relatives to the current line are not shown.

WAIT I MUST MAKE A JAY LOOK AALIKE!!!!!
Name: Achi
Age: 16
Animal: Striped Hyena
Personality: Jock 1000000% has a big ego but can be all soft and squishy. Insecure but don’t show it, fake confidant, depressed where no one can see it. Acts all tough and stuff but when you get down to it he’ll always take the easy way out. A good heart. Extrovert.
Human Apperance: Dark brown skin with blazing blue eyes. Usually wears kaki shorts and a baggy grey tee shirt. Athletic build.
Animal: White with black stripes, same blue eyes, has larger claws and slightly larger build.
Skills: Can harness someone’s energy and use it against them, like they can suck it out of them and turn it into an energy ball of death, or he can use his own energy. It takes up almost all his energy anyways. Remember Maxi from last time? Basically his power.
Background: was sold off into the foster system at age two. Has moved around a lot, has a bad past he never really talks about, found a family at 13 luckily and they’re pretty nice. But he’s still depressed because of his past. Oh, and he’s SJ’s twin brother BUT THEY DONT KNOW IT! Mmmm the drama.
Other: SHIPS OPEN
Uh SJ’s power is her dreams can see the future but she rarely remembers them and when she does she can’t really explain it to anyone else, it’s more of an instinct, and her dreams almost always come true.

can i still join? if so,
Name: Liana Thorn
Age: 14
Animal: Snow leopard
Personality: Intelligent, introverted, couragous almost to the point of foolhardy... that's all i got right now.
Human Appearance: Shoulder-length red (like red red, the dyed red, not the natural red.) hair with a streak of white through it, 5''0' gold eyes, and a scar from the left of the left eye to the bottom of the cheek. Her left arm is metal and her right hand has a tatoo of a crown of thorns.
Animal Appearance(shared markings, coloration, etc.): Her fur is red to her shoulders, where it transitions to normal snow leopard spots. She has the scar on her cheek, and her eyes are still gold
Skills(do include how well he/she is at transforming if Anima): She is good at transformation, her power is basically a second transformation, a cross between a human and a snow leopard, the drawback is that it takes a lot out of her to change into it, and can safely only change into it for about a half hour. She is good at fighting, and she is okay at blacksmithing.
Background: Her parents were the current king and queen of this realm, but when she descovered her powers she had to leave or be killed. She joined the rebellion, who trained her.
