Myrkuut flattened his
Myrkuut flattened his body against the craggy damp wall.
He couldn't see a thing, but he could've sworn he heard something slithering in the dark not far from him. Cold sweat scuttled down his back, but he firmly held absolutely still for fear of alerting whatever it was out there.
Suddenly, a deep, breathy rustle came from his left and he stiffened slightly, holding his breath. It slowly thrashed its way past, disappearing to his right. Myrkuut's muscles loosened, and he let that coiled-up breath finally escape, but he didn't let his guard down. He couldn't afford to.
He needed to move forward, after all.
Letting his fingers crawl sideways against the rough, slimy rocks slightly behind him, he slowly edged his way on; ever closer to some desperate, unseen goal.

Name:
Nickname (optional):
Pronouns:
(^^^ Can have male, female, in-between/neither/unclear or just vaguely leaning towards one or the others, etc., but also consider how 'alien' species may function. Maybe they switch during certain periods, or are like fungus on Earth, where gender doesn't really apply in the same way, or perhaps they have a different method of procreating all together. Keep an open mind, and explain/experiment with that here!)
Appearance:
Personality:
Skills/strengths:
Weakness/limitations:
Gear:
(^^^optional, basically just clothes/equipment/enhancements your charrie needs/prefers)
Magic/type:
(^^^ Optional, if not, just put 'N/A'; if yes please specific/list uses, limitations, complications, etc.)
Species type(be unique!):
Habitat:
(^^^ Optional, keep it general/mysterious if possible since we'll only have specific names for regions/governments after we've fleshed out the story a bit more)
Language(s):
(^^^ Optional, since there is an 'international/continental' language, this won't be a problem for general communication except in special cases, but it might play into the story to be able to speak many/very tribe-specific languages)
Defining traits:
(^^^ Optional; do they have a particular birthmark or deformity or unique colouration that makes it easy to identify them? Perhaps their species has a very distinctive feature, like glowing eyes or skin, or something like that? How does this effect them? Are they praised as being a 'chosen one,' or shunned for their differences, or does it not matter that much at all? Maybe it doesn't matter in their native tribe, but when facing other species/groups, it does. Explain/experiment all that here!)

Don't forget, you can adjust you sheet as the story continues and we all have a better understanding of this World at large. It's also alright if you create several more characters later on, but let's stick to 1-3 for the beginning part.
I plan on being the main writer/Dungeon Master, but I'll still create a few characters and encourage you to write little segments/chapters or even side/backstories, if you're comfortable with it! Thank you!

Sneak-peak/preview of the next part:
Fingers met cold metal, and stayed with excitement. Was this what he'd been looking for?! Before Myrkuut could celebrate or investigate further, a sharp scraping erupted above eye-level at his 2 o'clock. He froze.
All at once, Myrkuut's vision turned to stabbing white, body was bathed in a beam of light.
Expect to have a set of new charries introduced in the next segment!

Heya, so, this is my first time starting an RP! Feel free to offer suggestions/improvements if you think there's anything that could use some work, especially if you're more experienced with this kind of thing! See ya' soon!

Recap:
Basically, Myrkuut is in this cave-place and nearly gets spotted by something, and something big at that. However, it passes by without any true issue, and Myrkuut continues stealthing towards his mysterious goal.
~~~~~ Chapter 1, part 1 ~~~~
The grey mist and deep shadows slunk around the cavern as Myrkuut slipped onwards, circulating stale air and the musty scent of the fungal ecosystem of the enclosed space. It was cold here. So cold that Myrkuut could hardly feel his fingers or feet. It stung. Even with his fur, it still burrowed its way into his flesh and made it difficult to move.
Shivering, he forced himself on. He must be nearly there, surely?
Just then, his foot slipped; slit open and dripping warm red as Myrkuut's body followed it down.
Oh no.
A grunt sounded beyond the wispy grey barrier. Then a throaty snorting, followed by a ear-shattering bellow. Myrkuut shakily scrambled away, sticking close to the walls as he tried to disappear himself.
No, no, no! Please don't notice me! Please!
He screwed his eyes shut, certain that this harsh breath blowing against him belonged to the beast. Thoughts flashing, he made up his mind in a sudden desperate gale -- he would make a break for it. It was the only way.
Myrkuut grit his teeth. Feet number than ever, he tore from the wall, sprinting under the fearsome roar that erupted from behind and above him. He pushed himself to run harder, blindly plunging into the whitish mist, hoping that somehow, he'd be able to escape. If not... Well, he wouldn't think about that for now. It would be alright, after all. Right? Ha, he could nearly hear the uncertainty in his own self-reassurance.
Seemingly out of nowhere, a black wall grew from the fog, ramming headlong into Myrkuut. Caught off-guard, he stumbled back, wincing in pain at a new stinging in his forearm. It'll be okay, it'll be okay, he tried to convince himself. Suddenly, something whipped over him, right where his head had been mere milliseconds ago.
He gasped for breath, backing away as quickly as he could. Myrkuut struggled to his feet, only to be stuck at again -- and this time it hit its mark. The boy reeled, but stood his ground, wheezing as he gripped his side and dragged himself back to the wall. Maybe... Maybe he could use this to his advantage...? As if in triumph, the beast howled again.
Rolled-over with a sudden wave of light-headedness, Myrkuut's head clunked lightly against the sharp rocks and he staggered into the wall, eyes smarting. Breathe, Myrkuut. Just breathe. He leaned himself against the wall, head violently pounding as yet more growling sounded to his left.
He was out of breath, and everything hurt. He couldn't keep up like this... There was nothing more he could-
Myrkuut snapped down as the wall he rested against crumbled down, revealing a small opening. Luckily, he was able to flop his whole body down, just as the beast's enormous mouth closed down right behind him. He crawled just a bit further before his strength gave out. There he lay, a good, safe distance into the hole -- panting and trembling, ears still ringing -- as he tried to calm himself down.
Only now, in a secure place could he survey his injuries. He sadly licked at the bloody gashes in the dark -- painfully aware of the pungent stench of iron and sweat. He looked up, sure he'd glimpsed a glint of light ahead. Was it dangerous? Or would there be help over there?
Myrkuut weighed his options. He at last decided it would be a good idea to at least take a look: Scout the area, and if it was too dangerous, could always silently return to this safe area.
With that plan in mind, he wiggled towards what he could only hope was what he was looking for once more.

Yeah, sorry the sneak-peak is the same as last time's. I didn't realise how long this chapter was until just now, so I decided to split it for everyone's convenience. This section is actually in ch1 pt2 already(which is nearly all written-out at this point), and soon we'll at last get to meet a handful of your charries. Yay!
Also, so sorry about the release date; I kept pushing it up, and didn't even realise just how long we went without even an actual chapter 1! My sincerest apologies! I plan to be a bit speedier now that we're off the ground(and I haven't any writer's block yet), so don't worry too much! :)

(February 27, 2022 - 1:26 pm)
AHHH I LUV IT!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a question, real quick: This is an RP, right? Just clarifyin'.
(February 25, 2022 - 3:00 pm)
Yep! (And thanks :D)

@ Jaybells. Befor i make a charrie, just to be sure. Can i or has it started and your not letting anyone else in to the role play
(February 28, 2022 - 7:40 am)
Sure, you can still join, if you want!
Your charries will probobly be included a little later on, since some things are already planned out. However, in two to four parts, they'll probably show up in the main story, provided everything goes according to plan!
