Introduction .//. --------------

Animorphs fans far and wide, may I have your attention please?? biggrin

One night during my sophmore year of high school, I was bored out of my mind. Our parents were out of the house, leaving me alone with my brother who at the time was in middle-school. After a few minutes of listening to me whine about his refusal to let me school him in Mario Kart I found a book smacked in my face with a request that I shut up and read a stupid book. Animorphs #10.

That's what started it all. >_>

Roughly seven years, 54 books, 4 megamorphs, five chronicals, and two alternamorphs later my obsession strikes again. I've twisted Jestari's arm (more like had her throw herself at me) into helping me, and at long last we've begun taking the final steps towards finalizing our master plan.

Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

----------------------

NOTE: Artwork featured belongs to Jestari. Characters belong to Jestari and myself.

What we're shooting for is a shop that will sell characters+artwork, which are then playable in an existing post-series setting. Characters will have the chance to recieve the morphing ability, which means you'll not only be getting one piece of art, but also, art for each morph your character aquires.

The animals/beings that you aquire will be controlled, there will be role play events that put your characters into situations giving you the chance to aquire a new morph, or not. For instance: Your character might fall into a pit full of.... I don't know, hostile, cranky rattle snakes. If your character is quick enough not to be bitten first then you'll be able to aquire the little bugger and morph before the poison can kill you. n_n;; Of course, the situations and/or animals aren't likely to be THAT dangerous. Characters will only be killed if it is within plot purposes, and the player has given permission for their character to die. >_> So very morbid...

We've got a beginning and backstory figured out that hopefully will appeal both to the old fans that are already fully familiar with the series and the new fans or the ones that slipped away for whatever reasons. :3 (Thank you: to the uber-helpful suggestions of the Gaians in the first 8 pages! <3)

-------------- .//. Recon

By this point you might be asking: "WTF is she talking about/smoking/sniffing/*insert phrase of choice here*?!"

sweatdrop

Well, I'm not smoking anything! Nor sniffing.... or..... anything. *cough*

Jestari and I have put our efforts together, and we plan to open an Animorphs breedables RPG. You look at a universe like Animorphs and it's kind of scary how many possibilities there are, which just surprises me that no one has done this yet, even AFTER I mentioned the idea to some people x-amount of months ago. In any case, Jestari will be doing most of the artwork for the shop, if not all. I'll be coloring and designing the graphics. Together we'll both manage the shop, events, and RP.

Here's a bit of a rough idea for what we have planned, and what will be available, in the form of a convineint "FAQ" type post.

Q. What setting, or timeline is this going to take place in?
A. This RP will be POST-series, picking up a few months/years after the end of the last book. If you want to know more but haven't already read the last book, I'd suggest you stop here. Spoiler Warning.

Q. So does that mean that the canon characters are still alive/playable?
A. The main Canon characters are still alive... But will be NPC's played by shop staff for plot purposes, sorry. ^_^;

Q. HOMGBBQZ. Can I play Rachel?!
B. Uh. No. That's kind of impossible. >_>;;

Q. Will there be Nothilts? Taxxons? Gedds? Skrit Na?
A. Everything that the original series will be worked out for the shop/RP! ^_~

Q. *someone unfamiliar with the whole series* ........?? *wtf??*
A. If you need an explanation for any of these species it can be found here.

Q. So, original characters? Humans? Aliens? Come on woman, tell me what I'm gonna play!! D:
A. Humans, animorphs, yeerks, Andalites, Hork Bajir, Taxxons, Gedds, heck, and a few other species will all be available through the shop. :3 Some will be harder to obtain than others, though. Also, we're going to try to stick true to numbers, so there'd be a lot more yeerks, humans, taxxons, and hork bajir than there will be Andalites.

Q. So going back to the story, what can we expect for setting?
A. All that we'll say for now is that we're going to take full advantage of the revelation of Mr. All Powerful Unknown Bad dude that showed up in the last book. X3 Oh yeah, it's a whole new ball game, baby.

Collective Ideas .//. ------------

- Morphing:

The easiest way to do this, without letting people run amok with aquiring morphs, is to use "Morph slots". In the series you can have as many morphs as you are able to aquire, but obviously that'd be... XD;; crazy.

Your characters will start with a certain number of Morph slots. Once you have filled all of your morph slots you must wait until you get more slots before you can aquire and use more morphs.

Human animorphs will come with 3 morph slots. [Spy, stealth, battle. Spy and Stealth will be chosen for you. You'll be given a choice from a group of animals to pick your battle morph from.] Your character, if not already an animorph, will have to aquire these three morphs once becoming one. For those that start as animorphs the three will already be in their posession.

Andalite Rookies/Cadets will come with one alien morph, and will have to aquire earth morphs. Andalites will have three morph slots total.

- Morph Slots:

Morph slots can be aquired/accumulated during RP, probably by some type of Experience points system. More information coming soon.

- Aquiring:

We're going to do aquiring through role-play events. What we might do is have ocassional events where we make 2-4 Morph Slots available. During the event your character has a chance to aquire a new morph. [Some examples: Maybe an event where your character has to do some quick thinking, getting stuck in a situation involving an innocent child and an angry..... lion? o_o;]

These events can range pretty widely, as you would guess. It could be a trip to the beach, or a dog-show, or a search in the sewers, >w< just about anything!

Other animals, rare animals, such as an andalite, just for the sake of saying so, might be auctioned amongst the owners/players. We might raffle some off as well. So, I think possibilities are pretty numerous.
