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.

errAvi’s main problem is her internal conflict-hunters vs. rebellion, except in her mind. As a result of her being on this line, she’s got enemies on both sides. I think even for the others, it would be similar. Instead of painting the rebellion as a safe place/training camp, let’s make some discrepancies. Introduce a Hunter being killed, and generate some sympathy for the Thorns. Make the rebellion seem off, wrong. (Secret motive, perhaps?) But then when the Anima start leaning to the Thorns, put in hate, dead Anima, and conflict/battles. The inner turmoil (and exterior action that serves to reinforce the inner drama, like a fight with the Hunters or a secret passage in the rebel’s base) should be enough for a good conflict, though I don’t know what the resolution would be.
Avi~
The woman (women?) stare at me, disdain in all six of their green eyes. Avi had seen others go through, and came up with a plan. Time to start Operation Don’t Die.
Avi took a deep breath and opened the door. “Hello hello oh you have three heads that’s weird I like nectar lilies have the best but lavender is also good it’s just lavender is so hard to get your beak into, y’know what I mean? And as a human it’s just completely hopeless,” Keep talking keep talking don’t let them ask me anything. Luckily, one of the things Avi was good at was talking, nattering on and on until everyone near her wanted to scream. “Have you ever had a stuffed animal my brother had one it was a bear which is funny because he was a bear Anima speaking of Anima did you know that my friend had a cousin named Aerron who could turn into a dragon but when I asked if I could met her she said Aerron went missing a long time ago so I don’t really believe her now because I’ve never heard of a dragon Anima before and then it was just a distraction to steal my bagel but I forgave her because then I stole it back. And-“
”STOP!” the women bellow. “You’re giving me a headache, and a lot of that isn’t true! I do not know what you mean, Aerron was your friend’s boyfriend’s sister, and your brother’s stuffed animal was a koala, which are marsupials!”
”Oh,” Avi said softly. Then she realized her mistake. “Wait, have you heard the one about the-“
But the women were staring into her eyes, taking her soul out and looking at it, and Avi couldn’t move, couldn’t breath, couldn’t make her bad joke about elephants, couldn’t get out of the room which Avi was suspecting would be the place where it all went wrong-
“Are you the spy?” the women asked, and Avi’s heart froze, but her mouth moved. This is where it’s all over,
”Yes,” Avi said.
Avi just had a second to think what have I done before the women let out a piercing whistle and suddenly she was surrounded by cloaks and arms who pushed and shoved her and Avi tried to turn but there was something on her stopping it and she’d never not been able to turn before, she was born a little shifting hummingbird baby and she had never felt so trapped in her life.
***
Avi was in a dark place, with a little light filtering through a window. It wasn’t a cell- Avi had seen cells- but the feeling was the same. Avi was an open-space type of bird. In cells, she felt claustrophobic and trapped, and like no one cared about her, and no one would listen. The last time she was in jail she’d been trying to steal medicine, needed it for a dying friend- no one would listen, just looked through their reading glasses on posh gold chains and commanded the police to shove her in. She’d spent two weeks that time, and when she came out her friend was gone.
The Hunters helped her out, after that, showing up at juvie with glares and knives and rings of keys, and helped Avi feel safe. But the Hunters couldn’t find her here, and she doubted the rebellion would back down because of a few glares and twenty-dollar bills.
Avi looked around. She had metal handcuffs on, so tight her wrists were white, and the same thing around her ankles, except there was an extra chain on those that a rebel was holding-there were rebels surrounding her, she realized. She was on her knees, and as she struggled to get up he pulled her to standing harshly. She still couldn’t change form. ”C’mon,” he said gruffly, “we’ve got to show you.”
”Huh?” Avi asked.
“Not everyone knows you’ve been captured yet. It’ll make them feel safer, and shake up any other Hunters in the crowd.” He tugged again, and Avi fell down, tasting blood. “Get up,” he growled, and so Avi did, tripping over her feet. He led her out onto the stage.
The rebel announced pridefully, “The spy is found!” as if he had captured a dangerous beast instead of just a fifteen-year-old girl who sort of felt like she was going to cry. The faces were varied- Joy and Kallien looked mostly betrayed, and a little sympathetic. Serefina looked all betrayed. The russet haired girl who had supported the Hunters looked aghast, and her face turned white.
”H-hey,” Avi said. “Look, I’m not the kind of person to stand proud and defiant,” Her voice broke, “So I’m just going to, um, curl up and cry for a bit, thanks, and stop looking like I killed your best friend and destroyed the world, Serefina, will you?”
The rebel took her chain and pulled her out, then padlocked it to a railing in a back room. And then Avi did what she said she was going to do, and curled up to cry for a bit.
She only looked up when the door opened and a figure came into the room, too short to be a rebel. “Why are you here?” she asked. “Are you going to chain me up and spit in my face like everyone else?”
”No,” SJay said. “I’m here to help you get out of here.”
____
Claaws, are you okay with that? It seems like Avi and your character are the only two who like the Hunters, so it was a sensible choice.

IMPORTANT! Owen is 16 BTW, Izzie is 14, and July's going to be really busy which is why I haven't been posting. Sorry!
Also, I was thinking that Owen could be like a captain in the rebellion.
Izzie~~
"So you just want me to believe that you're my long lost brother? Are you crazy?" I ask.
"Well... when you say it like that it does sound kind of crazy. But I promise it's true," Owen says.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"We are going to the Rebellion." Owen says.
"Right, a place were everything is perect." I groan.
Owen chioces to stay silent as we walk through the woods. Soon we reach a tunnel in the woods that leads to the Rebellion camp.
