Hello, fellow RPers!
This concept is based on a storyline of mine turned RP centered on the Chinese zodiac. I did post this before and it got a fair amount of interest, but I was unable to get this to take off like I wanted it to for various reason - with the fault pretty much being on my part. Anyway, now that I've gotten myself together, I thought I'd repost the IC and see if I can actually get the ball rolling fresh.
The premise:
After displeasing the emperor, the animals of the Chinese zodiac are punished. It is decided that their punishment will be to spend 10 years in human bodies outside of the mythological realm, forced to take on the trials and tribulations of the typical person's life all while maintaining their individual animal instincts and abilities.
All of the animals now reside in the same city without knowing they are living among one another. Part of their punishment was total anonymity, being given no clue of each others' human forms, and now only possibly recognizing each others' personalities from being acquainted in their animal lives.
While the genre is realistic and slice-of-life, it does possess some fantasy elements. Ideally each character will possess some trait(s) relative to their animal-selves, whether it be certain behaviors, abilities, or physical traits (though these should remain translatable to the human body, ex: snake/dragons have forked tongues, so the character does; however, they shouldn't have horns, hooves, or anything of that nature... If not sure if a trait is acceptable, just ask). Their personalities will also be similar to that of their zodiac, but there is no need to be exact. Element and matches may also be utilized in constructing your character, but it's not necessary. I will do a brief profile on each animal for you so all that info is at your disposal in one spot. Characters will be aware of their past (animal) lives.
All orientations will be welcome. Ages will be 18-24. I intend for this to be a casual, but semi-lit RP (minimum 1 paragraphs, 7 sentences each). This will be 'application-based' (where I choose characters most fitting). That said, you'll be welcome to apply for as many roles as you want, but may only get accepted for up to 2. However, I am letting those from the previous RP who are still interested have first claim on their original position.
Please like or comment your interest [7 likes or interested comments = creating the thread]. Let me know what you'd like to see or get out of this RP. Outside of character construction itself and the base of the premise, the plot is generally open. If you have any other questions/comments/concerns or suggestions, let me know via message or post and I'll answer you as soon as possible.
Thanks everyone!
