What if you were offered a way to live forever... but you had to choose it and IT had to choose you? What if there was a way for all with a will to live symbiotically inside a single form? What... if...

"Please..." the young boy pleaded. "Please dad... don't shoot him! He doesn't want to die!"

"Son... I'm sorry," the father said with a doleful tone. "That car was flying by at sixty when he hit Fang... not even a wolf can live through that."

"But look at his eyes," the young boy said, mourning the loss of his pet... his best friend. "He's not ready to die."

The father, of course, could tell the animal was bleeding on the inside and even if they could get him to a vet in time there was no way he would live. He cringed, pulled his screaming son away, aimed the gun, and put the wolf out of it's misery.

"NO!" the heartfelt cry echoed through the valley as the young boy rushed to his friend's side and held his head in his lap, a drop of blood sliding down the wolf's fang and dripping on the boy's finger... and at that the dead body vanished.

The boy gasped but immediately realized what had happened. "Fang" as the boy had affectionately named the pet wolf had not died after all... he could feel the wolf inside of him. Suddenly he knew the things a wolf knew, felt the things a wolf felt, heard the things a wolf heard... his mind and the mind of his friend living symbiotically together in a single form. The wolf wasn't ready to die, and the boy didn't want him to... and at the touch of blood something in this young boy enabled him to absorb the life force of the creature.

The boy's father had turned away and missed the entire thing. The boy glanced back to the house, he saw no one. His boyish form transformed instantly into that of a majestic gray wolf and he sulked off into the trees. "If it works on wolves... thought the boy as he stalked a house cat... maybe it will work on anything that lives." He pounced....

This is the setting for the RP I would like to try if anyone is interested. It is a little different than anything I have done before but it sounded like fun when the idea came to me.

Only certain people are born with this strange ability (Your character can be with or without the ability) to absorb the life force of other living beings. If the dying life is not ready to go, and the "grave robber" doesn't want to let them die, a touch of their blood and their life force will be assimilated. Everything they know and can do the grave robber will now posses.

This young boy, now hidden from the world by government cover ups, was the first... but a few more have emerged and with these and their companions we can build our story.

PLEASE NOTE: Although I would prefer this be in a fantasy setting this can be set it virtually ANY setting. Modern day, scifi, fantasy, or even in a fandom of choice. It's the concept I am presenting as an RP idea more than anything else. If anyone like the concept we can build a setting, plot and world as we desire or simply choose a setting and free form the plot.

My expectations: I would like someone who is really into the idea, not just "Eh, sure... lets give it a try."
I also want you to be imaginative... given this skill set you could literally be or do anything! Some world building will likely be involved unless we decide on a fandom. So creativity is key!
I would like a single player or just a few who will be on regularly and post daily. (multiple times per day would be great but I realize not everyone can do that)
I like action, plot, plot twists, etc... I appreciate some romance in an RP but unless it really turns out "just right" I can't see it being the main focus. I use Fade to Black and for personal characters only do MxF simply because I am not comfortable playing anything else. I could try playing the female character but even that would be new to me.
I can write multiple paragraphs but typically my Rp style lends itself to a 2 paragraph post or so. Simply because I tend to RP a lot of interaction between characters and sometimes I find it counter productive to continue until I have a response from the other player(s)

So... if anyone takes a fancy to this idea, let me know!
 
Sounds awesome Jax I am interested in the idea but want to be sure I have more than just a character build. It's easy to be inspired by a great idea, only to realise yo have brought nothing to the party. If someone comes along in the meantime , no worries, if you need help world building though gimme a shout I can help with that.
 
Thanks Thanna. I'm anxious to see where an RP like this might go. If you want to join in just let me know.

Completely understand Nyx. If you feel like you want to jump in it's all good.

My play style is generally rather causal so it's not like I'm expecting an excerpt from a best selling novel every time people post just things outside the box, creative, etc...
 
Sounds like a plan. :) Happy to have you on board! Also, keep in mind you are not limited to a single animal. Through the RP you can gain more and, in fact, you are not limited to animals either. Humans (Or any other species) follow the same rules as any living creature with blood flowing through it.

What type of setting do you prefer?

Nyx you are free to join as well if you decide you would like to. 2-3 people may be just about right.
 
Well I'm not sure. Real life settings I tend to like the forest, beaches, or small towns and so far that's also been some of the setting for rps I have done before. And awesome this may be on of the best rps I might have ever done.
 
It can be real life setting or anything. If you prefer real life settings we can do that but I'd like to add a little flair to "reality" if you will. Nothing specific in mind yet just don't be surprised if I throw something in there that's a little, "Out of this world." (Since we ourselves would certainly be as such)

:) I'm hopping for it to be a pretty exciting RP. So much potential with this idea I think.
 
Alright, cool. :)

Let's give Nyx some time to reply so we know for sure if she is interested. Then we can decide on either making a plot or free forming it and jumping right in. ;)
 
@Thana Silver Vampire Wolf

Nyx is interested in joining but can't be to wifi for about 12 hours. So in the mean time it will give us all time to stew over ideas, plots, plot twists, and anything else you might want to throw in there. :)
 
*nods in agreement* I'm really excited about it!
 
Yea same here! This should be interesting. Maybe we should plan when and how the characters meet? Maybe an idea with which animals they are connected to as well maybe?
 
Sounds like a good idea. What have you got in mind? I have a loose start up post in mind for my character but it's still "in development"
 
Well maybe the meet to find the first that discovered his special ability. Like they are on their way to get him out and free him as well as others that may have been captured by the government. And my character is also in development but I know the ones she connected to are big cats and canines of all sorts.
 
Sounds like a good idea to work with.

My idea for my guy is to have him start out at his grandfather's bedside while he is dying. His Grandfather happens to be a graverobber (For lack of a more creative name for them I have just been calling them that. Any better name suggestions would be great, though) but his entire life he has suppressed it and never used it. The only way he knows is because he started absorbing the life force of things that died on him like flies and mosquitoes. He realized what was going on, though he never understood it. His family, however, was very superstitious and he knew if they knew about his ability they would think he was evil and try to kill him or get him put in jail or something.

So, on his death bed he calls his grandson in (Who he has always been close to) and tells him that the two of them are special and he needs to embrace it and not hide it like he has his entire life. He finishes off by grabbing a knife from the end table by his bed (The two are alone at this point) He cuts his hand and says, "I'm not ready to die." The grandson looks at him, unsure at first, but as his Grandfather's breathing gets labored and his heart stops he takes his Grandfather's hand and says, "I don't want you to die."

The grandfather's body disappears and the boy absorbs his being. The Grandfather, through his grandson, then starts to seek out others like them so they can create a sanctuary safe from those who would threaten them.
 
Wow that is very good. I was thinking my character was the only born in her family with that ability but her gram she was close to died before she even knew of her ability till her grams dog, who became her's, died and she didn't want the dog to die and it also wasn't ready to die.

That's what I was thinking for some of my character but I still need to work on it.
 
Cool. :) Sounds like a great start to me, can't wait to see what Nyx has and we can start meshing the three characters.

I figured my guy's "quest" that he sets out on would make a good reason for all of them to meet up.
 
Ok lol. My character may or may not have been forced to leave by her family. So she would be out there alone till she meet with others.
