I remember really liking the series back in middle school. Now that I've graduated high school, it's a bit odd for me to try shopping for the books. But I love the concept too much to let it die in my thoughts, so here's my proposal.
We're going to recreate the series, but with our own characters. You don't need to know anything about Animorphs to be in this role play, because the canon plot line is more or less being tossed out the window, and the core mechanics will be explained via rp.
A brief summary for those who clicked this and haven't read the books: Animorphs is about a team of kids who gain the ability to turn into animals they touch from an alien, specifically an Andalite. With the power comes the responsibility to stop an invasion from another type of alien, called Yeerks, who wish to enslave humanity and devastate the planet. The thing is that Yeerks enslave people by getting literally inside their heads and taking over their body, and enslaved humans (controllers) vastly outnumber the team of kids. The kids can't trust anyone but themselves.
So not only is there a small psychological element to it, there's a lot of action and suspense as the kids go about sneaking around and trying not to get caught while foiling the Yeerk invasion.
If this rp kicks off the ground, I'm thinking no more than a total of ten kids/teens for the team, three stranded Andalites at the most, and perhaps two playable Yeerk higher ups. Everyone else in the story would generally be an npc. At the very least, we'll need three kids (including myself) and one Yeerk higher up, preferably not also me. Perhaps a co-gm...?
