Location: Somewhere... just take a right at nowhere to get there.
There is a land called Windshear.

Wether this land is real, or just the creation of an obscure mind is not important. What is important is that Windshear is on the brink of civil war.

For as long as anyone can remember, Windshear has been a world of furres, anthropomorphic animals. At one point, not too long ago, humans came to the land. This was in the rein of Lady Blackshield I, a mountain lioness of great wisdom and kindness. The leader of the humans claimed the land for his own, forcing many of the furres that inhabited the land either into hiding, slavery, or exile. Lady Blacksheild remained in her fortress city of her name, on the highest mountain of the central mountain range, out of reach of humans. She, and her children, and their children, secretly lead the furres and those humans that had joined them to unite the two peoples. Many groups formed, the largest was from the Red forest, at the base of the central mountains, called the Riverweavers. The group was started by a fox furre named Redstream Swanfeather, and she was aided by her old friend, a pegasus furre stallion called Thornwhistle Icehoof.

All was not well, though. By this time, Lady Blacksheild IV had taken rein. After a few years, Redstream gave birth to a mysterious baby girl, the father of which was unknown. She was named Matfur Whitepaw, her forename a tribute the Redstream's lover, Mattfur Sharpeye. When the child was seven, Redstream was captured by a human, and given a public hanging, as her daughter and Thornwhistle watched. When the girl was eight, Thornwhistle, who had been named her godfather, was also hung by the same humans. Matfur swore vengeance for the two. This took her to the occupation of Royal Gaurd of Lady blacksheild when she was sixteen, at which point she had begun to grow golden feathery wings.

When she was eighteen, Matfur married a fox-phoenix named Flamewheel Shadowrunner, only to be captured by a necromancer the next night, who tortured her for two weeks, until she escaped. In those two weeks, Thornwhistle Icehoof rose from the dead, and the human leader proclaimed war on the furres of Windshear.

The rules:
please keep a PG-13 rating!
no godmodding or chat speak, please!
You may have up to two characters.
Setting is the large market town of Jordain, on the base of the Central mountains and edge of Red forest.
Windshear is a medieval land, so no guns or modern clothing.
most importantly, have fun!

The species of Windshear: A list of the many different types of furres in windshear.
All normal animals - this means non magical animals, like cats, dogs, horses, birds, etc. They inhabit almost all of the country.
Vargs - A both feral and furre wolf species, with the intelligence of a sack of hammers that travel in tribes of ten to twenty. They are basically the wolf version of an orc. The stay mostly in high, cold mountains.
Ravenous Wolfish Beasts(or RWBs) - like the vargs, just never feral and much smarter, usually loners. They inhabit scattered mountains.
Pegasi - finding a pegasus in Windshear is rare, and most are mixes of ordinary horse furres. This is because the Pegasi do not come from Windshear, just drop by once in a while.
Pheonix - Pheonixes are very common in Windshear. They have the ability to shift form from bird to any other furre, but still maintain their color and fire properties. They come from the desert of the west, but travel all over the country.
Saber-tooth Cats - Exactly that. Saber-tooth cat furres, also called 'Sabers' are like wintery Amazons. The females live in large, wild packs, while the few males are loners. They come from the high north mountains, where it is snowy and cold, but occasionally one will find it's way to the main parts of Windshear.
Mystics - These are animals of all species, even humans, who have magical powers. This happens to animals who are born on the eastern water front.
Humans - just that. Magic less, but resourceful, some of them side with the human leader to wipe out furres, other side with the furres to unite the country.

Character Bio:
Name:
Age:
Species:
Gender:
Appearance:
Other:

Name: Matfur Whitepaw
Age: 18
Species: fox-pegasus furre
Gender: female
Appearance: She is a red fox, with short, ruffled red-brown hair, the only white markings on her are the end of her tail and her left forepaw-hand, the hand being wrapped in a bandage. She wears a tattered, mid-thigh length tunic, tied at the waist with a belt, the left arm torn off at the shoulder, the other full-length, and an equally tattered gray cloak. She stands about fout feet and three inches tall, and is more than half starved, so therefore very skinny. Her eyes are golden, and on her upper snout there is a horizontal line of small scars. Feathered wings, the same gold as her eyes, come from her shoulder blades. She is somewhat pretty, in a sad sort of way.
Other: She has a sword on the back of her belt, the leaf shaped blade made of black obsidian, the handle of silver, with the word 'Matfur' inscribed in bronze on the crossbar, and an amethyst pommel. The sword is called 'Blood Bath'. She as carried a five foot long shear of oak, with an iron head and a faded, tattered, green banner hanging from it.

((Thanks to everyone who actually reads all that!))

I'm in. Trying out more RP's because the last one I joined died off. I will not let that happen again.

Name: Vance Fox
Age: 26
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Appearance: Vance is 6' 2" and weighs 176 lbs. He has short black hair and bangs that hang to above his blue eyes. On the back of his right hand is this symbol

http://www.collegehousejewellers.com/im ... y_knot.jpg

He normaly wears steel toe boots, brown pants, a black or white shirt, and a long cloak jacket. Even though he is a knight, he refuses to wear armor. Vance thinks that armor is just a sign you are weak and unable to protect yourself. Has not shown any emotions for the past year.

Other: Vance carries his long sword and war-hammer at all times. His hammer is called "Earth Crusher", and his sword "Sword Breaker". Vance has drifted away from the human empire, wanting no part of fighting the furres. Instead he has joined them in an attempt to unite the nations. But still Vance does not talk often to anyone. He does not want anyone getting in his way of becoming the most powerful knight to ever live. Vance wants to prove to Lady Blackshield that he is the ultimate protector in return for her knighting him. Even if that means living without passion. But can that be changed if he meets the right people? Or will he be lost to a darkness that is slowly consuming him while he fights for honor and renown? Unless someone shows him the meaning behind friendship and love, Vance may destroy what he was trying to protect all these years.

Location: In my mind, I'm just a figment of my own imagination.
Name: Khaz Wolfswift
Age: Unknown
Species: Wolf Furre
Gender: Male
Appearance: He has short dark brown hair, and darker brown fur. He wears a black cloak, as well as a black shirt and pants. He has two katars* at his waste on either side, ready to be drawn, one on either hand to aid his allys in combat.
Other: He doesn't talk very much and can sometimes seem very distant from others, but he does what he can to help, even when he isn't certain that he is able. He fights swiftly, landing many quick hits, doing all in his power to defeat his foes.

*A Katar is like a knuckle type weapon, or a claw, like a punch dagger, if that isn't a good enough explanation, and I know it isn't, then here is a picture/diagram.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v113/ ... katars.gif

... I think I feel the need for a second character to fill the void...

Name: Blaze Moon
Age: 21
Species: Thoguht to be Pheonix(taking the form of a winged wolf furre)
Gender: Male
Appearance: He has pure white fur, and shoulder length, short mad green hair, moon yellow eyes, with angelic like white wings. he isn't very strong, but that's why he travels with Khaz. He wears loose, comfortable clothes, usually something along the lines of an orange shirt and khaki pants. He stands a mere 4'8" and always wears a red headband, and red necklace that some think to be centimental of his mysterious past with Khaz. He has a belt with slots in it where he holds some potions for emergencies.
Other: He talks quite a bit and enjoys making a profit, he most often speaks for Khaz. He makes potions from herbs which he often sells as well as other things he comes across. He doesn't fight very often, but when he does, he usually uses his powers of flame manipulation to defeat his enemy. More often he supports his allies with potions and things as best he can.

... Yeah yeah, so it's basicly my one godmode like character with all his powers split with his light and his dark sides of his personalities... so what, I kinda like this better I think...

Uh...I'll join...this is my first major RP, so please take pity on my beginning soul...

name: Origg Vaille
Age: 26
species: half human, half mystic
appearance: He has spiked orange hair, and red eyes. He wears armor that covers his chest only, with chain mail underneath. On his arms, he wears gauntlets, and he wears armor on his waist and legs. There is a huge, double edged sword strapped to his waist, and a long battle axe with a wide, thin blade strapped to his back.

other: He uses his power as mystic to throw his sword in a a circular motion, and to maintain control over it for a long distance attack. He only does this to clear a group of enemies. Origg believes in fighting fair, so most of the time he straight up swords/axes/hand fights. He's a very talkative, light hearted person who enjoys a good laugh. He's hardly ever serious, and he tries to avoid fighting whenever possible. He also knows unique spells and fighting methods and styles that he learned from a secluded race of warriors in an uncharted desert. He befriended these people after hearing a secret plot between his former king and an evil ally. His king knocked him out and took him to a desert that is impossible to get out of unless you know the special route. This route is different from the entrance, and is only known by the people of the desert. These people took pity on Origg and taught him many spells and additional combat skills. One of the people befriended Origg and they became extremely close. They returned from hunting one day to find the village slughtered by none other than Origg's own king. Together, they set out and got their revenge. Soon after, the two friends went there seperate ways, never to see each other again...

I'm in too...

Name: Linus Kilondo
Age: 19
Species: White Lizard
Gender: Male

Appearance: (Edit:) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/Spearman7/Linus.jpg
He's a white lizard with a few black markings on him. Always seen wearing his chestplate, he barely ever takes it off because of a past experience. He most times wears a scarf around his neck to keep warm, for he lives in a forest in the mountains. He has red eyes and black hair with two small ponytails on either side of his head and one in the back.

Bio: Linus's parents died when he was 7, both of illness. Before the they were a happy family despite racial problems, always spending time together and having fun with their tribe... Later he was taken in by his uncle, who taught Linus the ways of a warrior. Now Linus lives alone in an unnamed forest. He has been training himself to become a fine warrior and also was experienced in the art of smithing. He only uses weapons he makes, never buys them. He's somewhat of a shy person and doesn't like crowds.

(If I missed anything let me know)
