Plot A dethroned prince. An empire in ruins. A brewing resistance. Many years ago, in their old age, Emperor Erenduil and Empress Areit of the Nerevine empire welcomed a child into the world. However, the baby was never presented to the public, and great speculation arose concerning the baby's health. Twenty years later, the rulers brought their perfectly capable heir to light, and, while the situation was still bizarre and confusing to many, the murmurings died down. Only a select few high-ranking officials knew what was going on: the presented heir was a decoy, and the real heir lurked in the shadows, posing as a bodyguard. Unable to properly manage the second form that the most powerful families were granted, he was deemed unfit to be shown as the successor, but his parents held out hope that a solution would be found for his supposed volatility. Chasing after word of a cure, the heir, decoy, and a small group of their close companions leave the empire just in time to avoid a massacre. Their families have been slaughtered, the throne usurped by a barbaric duke, and the country thrown into bloody chaos. The group is alerted of the event by a single surviving royal, and now, the band must plan their next move. With the unique abilities of each member of the group, and with a neighboring king's help, they may just stand a chance against these invaders. -- About the Abilities Those with royal blood -- members of the two highest families -- have two forms: one human and one animal. The animal form is the size of a large horse, regardless of the species, and can be anything from a cat to a dragon. They are endowed with enhanced senses, speed, strength, and agility in both forms. Other elite families carry special abilities of their own: foresight, manipulation of individual elements, dreamwalking, forces, and others. While they do not have the second form, they have always been held in high regard and are often close with the ruling family. The neighboring kingdom of Andir is a warrior realm, the inhabitants of which have given up one physical ability (voice, sight, etc) to enhance another. Their King has allied himself or herself with the misplaced Nerevines. -- About the Coup Duke Jerrin er'Evar Priandin gained the support of minor nobles and many commoners who had grown tired of Emperor Erenduil's lengthy rule. With promises of wealth and power, Jerrin rallied his forces and used his familial ability of the element of Fire to destroy the palace, kill the high officials and the emperor and empress, and place himself on the throne. However, he gave too much power to his supporters, who are now grabbing at authority via tyrannical means. The rest of the empire has descended into lawlessness and ruin; cities burn and people flee, and the abilities of the surviving houses are being used to further the works of destruction. The chaos is inching closer to the borders, causing neighboring kingdoms and principalities to warily watch or prepare their own forces. |

Rules Follow the site rules. No doing the do, ultra mega gore, etc etc. Just fade it out if that pops up For Nerevine characters, only one character can have any given ability (fire is still open, since the duke is a NPC). The exception would be characters that are siblings. Shifting is also an ability, but the creature that the individual becomes will not be enhanced or enlarged the way a royal's second form is Maximum of 4 characters for now. No perfect characters; balance out weaknesses and strengths. Keep drama between the characters, not the players If you use an image in appearance, please make sure it follows all WP rules and PLEASE credit it properly. It's honestly easiest to just draw them yourself, or I'd be happy to do a sketch for you This is a semi lit to literate RP, so I expect 200+ words per response. This should be reflected in your form(s), but I understand getting stuck on descriptions, so detailed bullet points and an RP sample are an acceptable alternative
Because romance isn't the main theme, I don't mind if you have it between your characters (but that might be boring lol). Relatives are also fine This is a brand new RP concept that I'm still fine-tuning, so please bear with me but have fun! |

Role Descriptions Heir: the only child of the late emperor and empress. He only appears in public as one of the decoy's bodyguards, though he has more authority than said decoy. His second form is not completely under his control and is especially violent, which is the reason he is not shown to the public as the heir Decoy: either a close relative or a member of the other Second Shift family, the decoy is the publicly heralded heir and closest confidant to the real heir. He or she will be the only other member of the group to have a second form, which they will have either completely or nearly mastered. If the decoy is a woman, it is highly anticipate among nobles "in the know" that she will be the heir's betrothed, although this is not official or required. It would just be easier to explain to the public. If the decoy is a man, it is most likely that the heir will continue to be the puppet master from behind the curtains rather than ever step into the limelight Messenger: the single survivor of the massacre of the high families. They escaped and tracked down the group, alerting them to the coup and instigating the change in objective. They will not be as closely knit as the rest of the group, but they will probably be familiar with everyone Group Members: the children of Nerevine's high-ranking socialite families as well as nobility from the allied kingdom of Andir who have grown up alongside the decoy and heir. They will all have a house ability or, if Andirian, they may have an enhanced physical trait Andirian King: the title of "king" is given regardless of the holder's gender, so this character doesn't need to be male. They are allied with the heir and may have spent time in the Nerevine palace in their youth. They are the commander of the renowned Andirian army and quite possibly the only hope of the usurped heir -- and they know this -- Character List Heir: Reserved -- Mother -- Pg 1 Decoy: Capri Fleur Sinclair -- Journey -- Pg 1 Messenger Group Members (Unlimited) - Nelena Arivashti -- Mother -- Pg 1 - Dallas Rebecca Salsfihsen -- Lackadaisy -- Pg 2 Andirian King |

Name: Nelena "Ghost" Arivashti Age: 22 Gender: Female Rank: Andirian Lady -- member of the group Appearance Credits to Malachitinous on picrew Nelena is arguably beautiful. She stands at a good 5'10, above average but not exceptionally tall. It's enough to allow her to see over others' shoulders and reach the top shelf, but there aren't many people that she dwarfs. Being on the shorter end of her immediate family, however, she holds herself to her full height and has a habit of moving her weight on to the balls of her feet, which gives her a slight lift and a calf workout. Her build is slender but well-muscled with the latter being subtly defined through her clothes. She lacks hips -- perhaps they will come after children, if she ever manages to tie down a man -- but has a full enough bosom. Her skin is a light olive and dotted with faint freckles, which mostly appear along her cheeks, nose, and shoulders. A decent amount of time in the outdoors has left her sunkissed, darkening the spots on her face. Her round eyes are generally narrowed and framed by thick, dark brown eyelashes, which make the brilliant blue irises pop. Nelena's hair is a dark blond; it's arguably more of a silver champagne, were she to be compared to a horse. It reaches down to her waist when let down and has a slight curl to the last half, naturally forming loose ringlets. She almost always has it up and tied firmly back so as not to get in her way when going about tasks. Each earlobe is pierced, but she only wears earrings, makeup, and other jewelry on special occasions or when there's time to actually enjoy it. She doesn't want anything shiny to bring attention to her in a fight or on a scouting mission, either. Her clothing is generally form-fitting but not showy; it could even be described as more masculine. However, when she is in the mood to show off her acrobatic skills, her attire screams "circus freak." Her expression is often something bordering hungry, though whether it's for blood or for mischief is hard to say; it really depends on her mood. She cannot make sounds, not even grunts or screams, so nobody knows what her voice would sound like if she had one. Her movements are light and graceful, though, and she's an exceptional dancer and acrobat. Personality Cold || Callous || Flirtatious || Adventurous || Lone Wolf || Manipulative || Impatient || Easily Frustrated || Stubborn || Unfriendly || Malicious || Chaos Any warm fuzzies that one may have gotten throughout their life will be completely banished within one interaction with Ghost. While her nickname started as a reference to her lack of a voice, it has progressed to fully encapsulate her personality as well. She can be a guardian angel or a haunting demon, or anything in between. Everything she expresses or does is calculated out beforehand; sudden personality breaks are just lead changes to her. Most of the time, she displays a cold and callous exterior as frosty as the night in the dead of winter. It's undoubtedly apparent upon first meeting that she is not a people pleaser, or a people person at all. In fact, one could even describe her as a bit sadistic when it comes to her interactions with others. She knows how to find buttons of any category -- irritation, affection, fears, secrets -- and push them. Her manipulative exploits are solely for her own entertainment; she is not attracted to the idea of power over others: she just wants to see if she could swipe it. Life is a game to her. It's a dog-eat-dog world, and she may as well put herself on top for the fun of it. Love is a stranger to Nelena. There may be a rare bout of altruism that shines through every now and again, but she is fairly certain that the ability to genuinely care for someone is far beyond her reach. It's not entirely true -- her dragon and a few "adopted" others may garner some strange version of the emotion from her -- but such things are too confusing for her to dwell on for long. She has no time for existential crises. The closest to "love" that she acknowledges to getting is being flirtatious, but even that can be difficult when one cannot speak. This woman is not a patient individual. A combination of frustrating verbal barriers, stupid people being stupid, and the chaotic go-go-go that she prefers results in a very tempramental creature with a very short string. While she displays strong decision-making skills and a combative head, her patience, if nothing else, is what promises that she would not be a leader-type. Ghost prefers to be on her own anyway, so as long as nobody bosses her around, she doesn't mind being at the back of the pack. Abilities Ghost traded her voice for the ability to be completely silent at will. She can stomp around, clap her hands, and snap twigs, but she can mute all those sounds. Anything immediately touching her body or clothing will be muted, with the exception of another person or animal. Strengths Acrobatics and gymnastics Working a crossbow or knives Creating poisons, diversion throws, subterfuge Speed and agility Stealth Weaknesses Completely and utterly mute Not trusting whatsoever Brute force Long distance running (slows quickly) Cute boys Affiliations Open Crush None Courting None Other |

Name: Erenduil Edur Warrin IV Goes by Edur Age: 22 Gender: Male Rank: Heir Appearance Image here Edur is an uncanny looking man, though much of this can be attributed to his nearly constant state of half-phased. He sports a tall, muscular build that reaches a solid 6'3, and that's normal enough. His complexion is a golden-tan one -- something that others might covet. Edur's features are strong, regal, and picturesque, and if someone were to lack color vision, he would appear to be quite regular-looking. A straight nose, thinner lips, a defined jawline, broad shoulders. Aside from sharp canines, it's the colors of everything else that cause hearts to skip beats. His hard, intense gaze is a burning red, whereas his entire lineage has been known for their gray or crystalline blue irises. His short, softly waved hair is jet black except for a jarring slash of white that dominates much of the right side of his scalp as well as part of his eyebrow. Several scars decorate this man's form, the most notable of which are a series of horizontal slashes across his upper arms from a particularly brutal battle with his cousin, whose second form happened to be that of a dragon. Other nicks and breaks appear in various spots, but they are not as deep or contrasted against his skin. His body is angular with broad shoulders that top a triangle torso. Edur cannot keep weight on very well, so while his musculature is well-developed and well-defined, it is not necessarily indicative of health; he is quite lean and would love to tip the scales a bit more than he does, if only for the strength factor. Unfortunately, the taxing physical state he lives in does not allow for bulking season. If he ever manages to gain total control over the feral side of himself, then this issue will be resolved. Edur moves with the confident, powerful air befitting his station. His movements suggest an approachable man, but there is an underlying ferality to them that warns against making a wrong move. He is every bit a predatory animal -- but if not friend, why friend shaped? A confident smile, a firm handshake, and proper bow, and a smooth compliment will melt away most misgivings, but he can turn on a dime and become quite the icy individual. His voice is low and firm, yet sweet and easy to listen to. He'd make a great narrator, if only he could find the patience to read out loud. Fashion habits Personality Charismatic || Intelligent || Devious || Calculating || Bold || Tactical || Bloodlusty || Human -- Rational || Wolf -- Emotion-Driven || Protective || Vicious || No Regrets Expanding Abilities As a member of one of the families gifted with a larger second form, Edur is faster, stronger, and more agile than individuals without enhancements of that nature. His skin is also much harder to break through, and his senses are -all heightened. These enhancements are further noted when he shifts fully into his second form. His second form is that of a massive wolf. In this form, he stands 6' at the shoulder. He is lean, but a dense coat provides him with an illusion of extra bulk. Edur's silvery-white fur is medium in length and ripples over the animal's muscling, giving it an almost liquid appearance. Sharp claws and huge canines are a good deterrent for those who would threaten him or his friends, and his eyes are the same fiery red that refuses to leave his human form. Strengths + Enhanced physical form (speed, senses, agility, strength) makes it difficult to attack him with weapons or fists + Charisma and playing societal 4D chess + Retains information well, intensive schooling + Good actor + Close combat Weaknesses - Often stuck between forms, which in turn splits his mind between the two - Vulnerable to attacks stemming from elemental, mental-based, and non-physical abilities, but especially those relating to the mind - Second form takes over more easily when negative emotions are running hot, making him unpredictable and volatile - Would rather use a sword than diplomacy in most cases - Needs to eat a lot to sustain himself Affiliations Capri -- Nelena -- Open Crush None Courting None Other |

She likes who she likes and it bounces back and forth. . Rank: Nerevine Heiress Decoy . ------------------------------ . Appearance: With an elegant aura that can seamlessly transform into something dominating, she captivates everyone in the room. Standing at a graceful 5'5" and weighing just under 130 lbs, her slender hourglass figure is accentuated by a fuller bust, wider hips, and thick thighs that create an impressive silhouette. Her smooth, blemish-free pale skin glows with a natural radiance, complemented by the soft rosy hues of her cheeks that give her a youthful and vibrant appearance. Capri's striking facial features include high cheekbones that give her a regal look, paired with a sharp jawline and a perfectly sculpted nose that add to her allure. Her beautiful blue eyes, framed by long, thick, dark lashes, seem to sparkle with intelligence and warmth, drawing people in with their captivating depth. When she smiles, her full lips reveal straight, pearly white teeth, and small dimples appear on either side of her cheeks, enhancing her charm and making her smile all the more infectious. Her hair, long and wavy, is a pale blonde that mirrors the rest of her family, cascading down her back like a golden waterfall. When it comes to makeup, Capri is impeccable; whether she opts for a bold red lip or a subtle, natural look, she always knows how to accentuate her features without overshadowing her inherent beauty. Yet, even on days when she chooses to go makeup-free, her natural appearance remains stunning, showcasing her confidence and authenticity. Capri's style is a reflection of her creative spirit and personal interests in which she tends to base her clothing off of. She tends to favor light and flowy outfits that exude elegance and grace, often choosing dresses that sway with her movements or tops paired with chic bottoms that highlight her figure. The colors she selects are typically lighter or neutral, creating a soft palette that complements her pale complexion. Accessories are minimal yet meaningful; she often adorns her fingers with a couple of delicate rings and wears a cherished necklace from her mother, which adds a touch of sentimental value to her ensemble. As she moves through a crowd, there's an undeniable presence about her. Capri embodies a blend of grace and strength, effortlessly commanding attention without uttering a word. Whether she's walking the red carpet or enjoying a casual afternoon out, her style and poise leave an indelible mark on everyone she encounters, making her not just an actress, but a true fashion maven and an inspiration for many. Accent & Voice Capri's voice is light and somewhat breathy, a faint hint of a French accent hidden within, which gives her words an almost musical quality that draws people in. She will usually speak in a direct yet soft tone, carefully choosing her words to convey her thoughts with clarity and grace, but by no means is she afraid to raise her voice if necessary or whenever she sees fit; in fact, when the situation calls for it, her passion can turn her gentle cadence into a commanding presence that captivates everyone around her. Whether she’s sharing a story over coffee with friends or addressing a room full of strangers, there’s an undeniable warmth to her speech that makes people feel at ease, as if she’s inviting them into her world. It’s this unique blend of softness and strength that makes her such a compelling communicator, able to navigate both intimate conversations and larger gatherings with equal finesse, effortlessly shifting from a whisper to a rallying cry, depending on what the moment demands. Personality: Capri is difficult to read, to say the very least—a complex tapestry woven from threads of diverse traits that both charm and challenge those around her. On the one hand, she embodies a stunning presence that captivates audiences, whether she is strutting down the runway or lighting up the silver screen with her magnetic performances. Her professionalism shines through in every aspect of her work, where she approaches each project with an unwavering dedication that leaves no room for mediocrity. However, beneath this glamorous exterior lies a tempestuous spirit; she is hot-headed and temperamental, often quick to express her frustrations, which can lead to heated exchanges with colleagues or friends. Though her impatience can sometimes be a hindrance, it also fuels her relentless drive, pushing her to meet deadlines with a sense of urgency that many admire. Capri's bluntness can be refreshing, as she speaks her mind with an honesty that cuts through pretense, but it occasionally rubs people the wrong way, revealing her short temper when confronted with ignorance or incompetence. Despite these fiery traits, she remains fiercely dedicated to her craft, a true workaholic who thrives on productivity and independence. Her self-confidence radiates from her, making her proud of her achievements and well-educated perspective. Capri's focus is unwavering, her passion for fashion and acting evident in every endeavor she pursues. Yet, this passion can sometimes tip into selfishness, as she places her ambitions above the needs of others, often coming off as a know-it-all or perfectionist who believes there is always room for improvement. Beneath the surface of her assertive demeanor lies a protective heart, fiercely defensive of those she cares about. While she may come across as domineering at times, her caring nature shines through in her interactions with close friends and family. Capri's wealth of experience in higher class social gatherings consumes her—a true social butterfly who thrives in the limelight, yet remains grounded by her determination and creativity. Her ambition knows no bounds, and she is always willing to take daring risks in pursuit of her goals. Discipline is one of her strong suits, allowing her to stay on track amidst the chaos of her busy life. Capri is also direct and assertive, qualities that serve her well in negotiations and collaborations, where her elegance and gorgeous appearance only enhance her persuasive abilities. People respect her for her intelligence and logical mindset, as she is both observant and insightful, able to read a room or a situation with uncanny precision. In essence, Capri is a multifaceted individual whose complexity makes her both intriguing and relatable. She is not just a decoy heiress; she is a woman who embodies the dualities of strength and vulnerability, ambition and care, making her a true force to be reckoned with in the worlds she navigates. . ------------------------------ .

Abilities: Shifting Animal - Ermine Lady Capri was born with the ability to shift into a singular animal at will- as both her parents were able to do this as well. The young woman has grown to become more aware and in tune with the carnivorous creature she changes to but it wasn't easy at first. Capri found herself using this ability rarely because of the reputation of the sweet-looking thing- her sister received the ability to shift into a polar bear for god's sake, of course, she was a bit jealous. Though with a bit of training and work Capri has managed to overcome this and actually quite enjoy the animal. When shifted, the young lady appears as an Ermine- or Stoat as some may call the usually small creature. Instead of being the few inches that this species usually is- Capri's ermine is just over 5'5" feet tall at the shoulders. Her coat's color depends on the season; Spring and Summer its a mixture of a soft light brown and a white chest and stomach, in the season of Fall and Winter Capri's coat is a pearly white color. The tip of her tail is black and her eyes are big and beady-looking, innocent appearing. This animal's shift enhances all of her senses, including speed, stealth, and agility. She is known to climb trees and hang out on branches when trying to get away from things. .
