We are the outcasts. The rebels, those who were cast out for violating some ridiculous law. We live by our own rules, our own justice. We are the banished. We are the exiled.
. Backstory .
It's a well-known fact that the world can be a harsh place. It seems even harsher when the guilty don't get what they deserve. And thus begins the tale of Exsilium's founding. The creator of Exsilium, now deceased, believed in following one's own morals before all else. Such a value conflicted with his pride's laws. Long story short, he was cast out from the pride and forced to become a loner. Instead of taking this lying down, he decided to form a pride for others like him. As time passed, it was agreed that canines should be allowed entrance also, as we are all the same at our core. As such, Exsilium was no longer a pride, nor a pack, but referred to as simply a faction. Years have passed since that time, and Exsilium still lives and thrives.
But there is one striking difference, among many.
Besides obvious changes, such as leadership and members, the faction's goal has changed. Back then, the outcasts within Exsilium simply survived, nomads by nature. Recently, however, there has been a plague emerging. No matter where the faction goes, the virus follows.
It's hard to detect at first, this virus. The first symptoms are barely noticeable: slight dizziness, fatigue, perhaps an aching head. What's more, they don't persist for very long. The fatigue and dizziness can be completely gone with a quick nap, the headache fading with time. Then the symptoms worsen. Weight loss is common, as well as coughing up blood. And then the madness. Without fail, the virus will cause its victim to gradually lose their sanity.
But there is hope.
According to Exsilium's current leader, there is a place out there, a safe haven where the plague has and will never touch. As of now, no members of the faction are infected, partially due to their nomadic tendencies. And so they search. Looking for this alleged paradise, somewhere safe from the nightmarish world they are living in.
But it will be a long journey.
. Rules .
1. No godmoding, powerplaying, Mary-Sues, Gary-Stus, all that good stuff.
2. Wait to be accepted before posting further.
3. Keep things PG-13.
4. Censor strong curse words.
5. Have accurate grammar and spelling; an occasional typo is fine. No one-liners.
6. Absolutely no wolfspeak. Is there a such thing as lionspeak? Uh, none of that, either?
7. Be active or be booted; you will be sent a warning if inactive for a long period of time, and no response within twenty four hours will result in your character being killed off.
8. Put something about scones in your form. You know, so I know you've read the rules.
9. Use some form of brackets for OOC.
10. Don't kill someone else's character without their permission.
11. Please, no pets or familiars here.
12. Odd colors and markings are okay, but no angels, demons, supernatural creatures, hybrids, you get the idea. No powers right now, either.
13. Any questions should be PMed to either Paradox (me) or Luceria.
14. Have fun with it! We want conflicts and drama, here ;D
. Events/Updates .
The rp has officially started, and can be located here (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&lang=en&jfile=index.php&topic=2822.0). In-game rp will probably start once our map dilemma is sorted out. As of now, we're still accepting applications, but only male characters!

. The Laws of Exsilium .
1. Do not kill others simply for the sake of the kill. You must have a reason, and it must be just.
2. Once you are one of us, your loyalty must be unshakable. Betrayal will not be tolerated. Your loyalty must always be first to Exsilium, and all else second. This includes mates.
3. There shall be no killing of our fellow Exiled, even if you feel you have been wronged. Instead, report the issue to either the Primoris or Secundus and it will be dealt with accordingly.
4. Do not abandon us. If you do so, we will treat you as an enemy if encountered again.
5. Do not mate with those outside our faction.
6. It is to be noted that we do not work towards any better good, nor do we support a collective evil. As such, we do not expect you to act in any certain way.
7. Your superiors have that rank for a reason. Obey them, but do not be so close-minded as to never questions them if you believe they are wrong.
8. All able bodies are expected to fight for Exsilium if the need arises. As such, there is no warrior rank.

Alright, now for my form, and then hopefully we can get this thing on the road 8D No spoilers, I see. I'll have to work around that.
Username: Paradox
Character name: Ziv
Age: Young adult
Gender: Male
Species: Lion
Desired Rank: Primoris
Appearance: (http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Examias/oie_221533pgFTzP6D.png)
Being a lion with a lean build, Ziv is both able to handle himself in a fight and run pretty well. Of course, he would have trouble with a more muscular opponent, and would definitely lose a race to an experienced scout. Ziv's fur is white, with a dark gray underbelly and a full mane that splits in the center at his head. Oddly enough, his ears are pointed, and he has stripes on his lower legs and tail that match the color of his underbelly and mane. There is a small tuft of fur underneath his ears, too. Ziv's eyes are an aqua-ish blue, with black fur above and below them. Also, he has a dark gray sort of "mask" on his muzzle.
Personality: Anyone who called Ziv an introvert would definitely have him confused with someone else. Indeed, he is quite an outgoing and friendly lion. These two traits put together generally make him a pretty likeable guy, despite a darkly sarcastic comment here and there, and most people only see that part: the laid-back, easygoing part. Those who know Ziv a little better are aware of the smoldering hatred he feels for his former pride, and how it can have some adverse effects on him, such as his short temper and random streaks of outright cruelty. Though this is a problem, Ziv tries his best not to like it effect his leadership abilities. In terms of how he acts as a leader, he is patient, willing to listen, and above all, fair. Most think of him as a good leader, albeit a somewhat lazy one from time to time.
Mate/Crush: None
Cubs/Pups: None
History: Back before he was part of Exsilium, Ziv was in a pride that declared itself to be "good, just, and true." At the time, he believed it. He had been part of everything long enough that he was nearing a respectable rank, too. Then the incident occurred. Looking back, it's hard to tell who was right, though Ziv will always assert that he doesn't regret a thing he did that day. One day, while he was just walking around, thinking about patrolling the territory's borders or seeing if the leader needed any help, Ziv saw something. Ikenna, one of the pride's most liked and respected hunters, not to mention a good friend of Ziv's, was with his cub. Usually, this wouldn't be anything odd, as Ikenna was also considered a good father towards his children. There was something wrong, though. Not only were the hunter's claws unsheathed and raised, but there was an expression of fury, true and powerful, on the lion's face. Before Ziv could even think about this, Ikenna had raked his claws across the cub's face. After that, the white lion hadn't needed any more time to think. He had pounced on the hunter, teeth bared and claws unsheathed. There had been a brief battle that ended with both lions severely injured. Ikenna died that night. Ziv was banished from the pride, having no knowledge of what happened to the cub. During his exile, he met Lyra, and the two decided to travel together for a while. They both agreed to join Exsilium, with Ziv quickly becoming one of the best Venators and then the next Primoris. His promotion to the leader position happened just around the time the plague first started showing up to the east.

Username: Twilia.
Character name: Alouwai.
Age: Adult.
Gender: Female.
Species: Wolf.
Desired Rank: Medicus.
Appearance: With a black as night it self, it's adored with odd luminous blue markings. With a diamond shaped marking between her eyes, a luminous streak goes up and down along her face. Just covering her brows and part of he cheeks, two smaller steaks set beside her eyes on either side of her head. Two smaller dots just set before the markings, while a single dot sits just below the diamond markings on her snout.
Three thick markings branch out on the top of her head, ending out in a star-like marking which does down along her back. While two curvy markings make their way down to about just above her shoulders, A wing like marking rest on her shoulders, with a tear-drop resting in the middle. A question like mark further down along her upper leg rest, with a dot in the middle of it.
A smaller dot rest below it, leaving a curve marking behind. Down along her back the markings branch out into a large star like-marking lining out long her lower back. One point just before the under part of her back legs, while the other settles on just the middle part of her leg. As for the third, it'd further down along the back of leg. Last but not least, three tear like gems set on her tail. The first the smallest, the second being the bigger of the three, the last being about mid sized.
Personality: Naturally calm in intense situations, one not to take things too lightly but she never takes them too seriously. A healer by heart, she will help any she comes across. Being as she is, she normally isn't one for fighting or war, but if need be, she will defend her self or others.
Mate/Crush: None.
Cubs/Pups: None.
History: Having lived in her former pack until of age finally, she refused the advances, of an newer over confident Alpha in their pack. She had been beaten for it and left for dead, in a sense exiled in his own brutal way. Having been found by an much older wolf then she, he took her in, and taught her the ways of a healer.
Other: The scone is a small British quick bread (or cake if recipe includes sugar) of Scottish origin. Scones are especially popular in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, but are also eaten in many other countries. They are usually made of wheat, barley or oatmeal, with baking powder as a leavening agent. The scone is a basic component of the cream tea or Devonshire tea.
-
Mmkay, just a couple things before I accept you. It's pretty obvious she has markings, but what about body type? Built for speed, large, small, powerful, what? And sorry, no wings here 8P Also, the whole point of Exsilium is that it's for those who were cast out, hence the name, which literally means "exile" or "banishment" in Latin.
Oh, and you forgot a sample paragraph, though I admit I may have been unclear about it being required. The only reason Luceria up there didn't need one is because she's sort of the co-owner here, meaning we worked on this entire thing together. And obviously I don't need to prove my own literacy 8P
-
Speaking of my character? No, she has no wings xD. She never has..(Aside from on another site.)
Build? Hm. I'd say some where in between, strong, but built for both speed and power xd.
-
"But a pair of bird like-wings settle on her back gently, they to also having this star like marking as her lower back with some tear drop like-markings and a few dots along the way."
o_O
Okay, that'd be great if you could just add that in somewhere 83
-
Lol, it's a part of her marking, not actual wings, sorry for the confusion? xd.
Edit: Fixed, didn't see that. O.o.
-
Ah, guess the wording just got me, then xD My bad. But yeah, the history just needs a little alteration, because Exsilium exists for outcasts and such, not so much those who just decided to leave their former prides/packs.
-
owo. Edited. I really need to work on her history. >.>.
-
Yep, that's better 83 Adding you up. Oh, and just for future reference, the Medicus plays a pretty big part in the plot I have all planned out in my head. Though I'd give you a heads-up about that.
-
xD, fun. And alrighty.

Username: Kyugima
Character Name: Tau
Age: Adult
Gender: Female
Species: Lion
Desired Rank: Custos
Appearance: (http://i31.servimg.com/u/f31/15/01/72/09/tau11.jpg)
Personality: Tau is a quiet lion, who can be very untrusting. It takes a lot to get into her good books, and you are always an enemy until you do. She isn't the type to launch a full out attack at first, always warning the other of her intentions. If you don't heed that warning she will fight viciously. But she is fiercly loyal to those she does trust.
History: Tau had previously been the member of a small pride. She had been an eager guardian, watchful and protective. It was simply by accident that she had been exiled. She had been on watch, knowing full well that the cubs that had recently joined them would be in danger if a stranger came along. So it was no surprise when she threatened the new male, and when the male refused to back down, she fought. It didn't end well, the male near death. That was when she learned that the male had been the leaders brother. Unfortuantly, the brother wasn't the forgiving sort, and claimed to have been attacked for no good reason, that he had stated why he was there, when this was all lies. He had almost started the fight himself, swinging at her when she warned him that she would have to take action if he didn't leave or state his business. Unfortuantly, the brothers were close, and the leader could not stand the idea of someone who would attack his brother in the pride, and banished her.
other: butter milk scones, devonshire tea, buttered scones, scones scones scones!
~~~
Roleplaying sample:
Tau held her body low against the ground, paws treading slowly and softly as her gaze focused on the prey ahead of her. One of the older ones had been injured recently, and would be an easy kill. As she slowly and steadily crept forwards, the heads of the antelope looked up, gaze scanning the grass, ears perked and listening for the padded footstep of a predator. They knew danger could come at any moment, but they had no idea just how close it was. Tau's jaws opened as she allowed the strong scent of the doe's blood washed over her, taking in the copper smell. She was close now, her body poised to leap out. Just a second more, it was heading straight for her, unaware of her presence.
Tau leapt from her cover, fangs bared and claws unsheathed as she bounded towards the limping and slow doe, that despite it's injuries was trying to flee with the rest of the panicking herd. She caught up to the heels of her target, large paws darting out as she leapt onto the creatures back, her added weight dragging down the already struggling beast. with a quick lunge Tau went for the throat, her thick fangs clamping down on the airways, resting as the doe slowly died of lack of oxygen.
-
83 Accepted. I'll add you up right now.
-
xD, by the way, where is the member list? Or are you saving it on your computer? xd.
-
By member list, do you mean the people playing the characters? In which case it's currently just floating in my head, but if you all think it'd be a good idea, I can add it to the front.
Oh, and before anyone asks if/when we're starting, it all depends on how many people join. At this point, I'd like to have at least...three or four more people minimum.
-
Ffft. Totally wanna join :P But I have mah unfinished app thingeh saved on meh 'puter, that I'm not allowed to use at the moment. -using a nook- Do you mind if I just float around here for a bit until I am allowed to go back on?
-
Yeah, no problem ^_^ I'm just happy we're actually getting people to join. I was so paranoid this entire thing would crash and burn.
-
Crash and burn? This? I think not, my good ma-... er, person o.o Its a very good idea.
-
Aww, thanks 83 Luceria helped out with the details, so I can't take all the credit, but it's nice to hear nonetheless.
Ah, right. To everyone here: if you have not read the backstory, please do so! Not just because I put time into writing it, but it's not just about Exsilium's founding or whatever; the entire plot is in those paragraphs xD Just don't want anyone getting confused when we start.
(And yes, I do have a plot in mind for this ;3 )
-
Ooh ~ Cool. I'll definately have to make my character get sick eventually. :3 But not completly. Just a tad of insantiy, if that's possible.
-
I've got everything in terms of the virus planned out in my head 83 At the beginning, no one is infected, but you'll see how things happen as the rp goes on. Eventually, I am going to need volunteers for infected characters (minor spoiler there, but you guys probably figured that out on your own, or would soon anyway), so I'll keep you in mind.
-
Psh. YAYZFORINSANITYFTW o.o I was planning on making my charry Daciana, once I join, anyway, insane to start with, infectedness or not.
-
-
She sounds awesome~ Accepted. Given her build and history, I'm going to be giving her the rank of Venator. Sound okay?
-
Mhmm. Sounds fine to me. .3. And... Did you want an rp example thingeh? I completly forgot. o-o
-
Usually, I'd say yes, but your form both looks pretty well thought out and has accurate grammar and spelling. So you don't have to do it if you don't want. It's mainly there to scare off illiterate people.
/realizes Ziv is the only male.
That...is probably not good >_>
-
xD It probably isn't... but we hasn't started teh rp yet, so. There's still hope. :3 And illiterate people scare me. x.x
-
Me, too xP Can't stand rping with illiterate people. Makes me wanna bash my head into a wall.
I would be happy to make another male, except that if we take this in-game, obviously that wouldn't work out too well.
....
Guess that brings me to another question for all of you, then: would you like this to be an in-game thing once the server gets up and running, or just forum-based?
-
I would LOVE to do this in-game. :D Well... I would acually love to do anything in-game, at this point. o.o Anywayz, illiterate rolelayers, ftw. Some person in another rp I'm in posted something like "I jump ovr too the rivur nd drink bfre I go and sleep in a feeld far uhwayand cries WHY DO NOT YU LUV ME FAATHEEERR?!??" Lmao. -insert insta-ban here- No. Just, no. I mean, a few spelling mistakes are okay, but that... -shudders-
-
If we do end up taking the rp in-game, I'd have to hire a mapmaker, because I am horrible at those things >_> Not sure how I'd want the setting to be. Frankly, when I envision my plague-ridden world, it isn't some lush green place with waterfalls.
That...Yeah, wow, that is definitely an insta-ban. Besides illiteracy, I also have a huge problem with Mary-Sues x_x I've seen too many.
-
Hm, I'd say rp in game Paradox. And keep updates of what has happened in the plot so far here. So all know where we stand, what has happened..ect. xd.
/Finished making a hyena clan.
-
I've been imagining somethin' like teh Outlands from TLK, but, meh, that's just me, I suppose. It would be pretty unoriginal. I've been wanting to try to make a map for a bit, but I had no idea what to make. xD I might try to make a map eventually, but Im pretty sure I'll fail at it.
-
What's funny is that in all other rps I've made, there was always an updates section...This is the first time I've forgotten one xD;; And in a plague-based rp, no less. I suppose it could theoretically go with the forms/laws, though it might be a bit crowded.
Oh, and just a heads-up: I intended for this to be forum-based from the start, at least partially. I just wasn't sure whether or not you'd all want to do both.
*waves flag around like a madwoman* COME JOIN US, PEOPLE! 8D
In terms of the setting, it wouldn't be swampy like the Outlands. More like dark skies, nothing brightly colored, no wildlife, lots of dead plants, things like that.
-
xd, sounds like a waste land to me :3. Well, I dislike forum rping, but I'm finding my self doing it more and more..so eh xd. Also, looks like it can go under 'Our Enemies'.
-
Actually, I originally wanted the setting/plot to be post-apocalypse based
because I'm totally obsessed with those situations, but thought it would work better if the world was still alive. Wasteland about sums it up, though.
Forum-based rping is the only rping for me. I've done an in-game kind of thing before, with a different game, and found it rather difficult because I hated acting out actions or just typing them with asterisks. It was too restricting xP
-
Hurr. I'm not too big of a fan of forum rps, but it too am finding myself in lots of 'em. I like more of a live chat thingeh, and I guess that's because I started rping in wolf packs on wetpaint sites in 99chats and chatango, so. And, we could just sit around in a map and just type our rp out.. 'n stuff. Just because I like rping quickly.... sorta.
-
Live chats and such have their benefits in terms of being faster, but I prefer being able to think out my post, write it, maybe add a couple things I think would make it better, stuff like that. It's more like writing a story with another person/other people that way IMO.
And I got started with rping a few years ago on a pet site. Right now I hang around an adoptables website for rping; probably can't tell you what they are specifically, because I think that's advertising or something. Still trying to figure out if I'll like this place or not. After all, the writing competition has a rule that the entry must be rated G >_> I cannot decently write rated G material.
-
8C If we could just get one or two more people I would be a happy soul
-
As would I x_x Maybe we need a banner or something. Do they really work?
-
I CANHAZMAKEBANNER, YUS? -insert derp face here- I'll start making one tomorrow. Because, chances are, I'll have a snow day. >D
-
If you want to make one, then please do by all means 83 I technically could, but I'm just so lazy...
-
oow. Sorry to say, but I believe I'm going to pull Aluowai out of this pack.
-
I'm really sorry to hear that, but if your mind is made up, I guess I can't stop you. Sorry this couldn't get moving quick enough. I'll take your character off the front page.
Oh, and I'm probably going to give this about two more weeks. If we don't get enough people by then, I might just shut it down.
-
I made a banner thing!
It's in my siggy, I hope you don't mind that I made it. I've also made it so that when you click on it you get sent to this forum!
I hope you like it.
Here is the code to make it link to here:
url=http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&lang=en&jfile=index.php&topic=1334.0][img]http://i55BannedImageSite/mjmla0.png[/img[/url]
All you have to do is add a [ at the beginning and a ] after /img and before [/url
*Edit
Just discovered the link doesn't work, does anyone have any ideas??? because I've seen pages linked before, I guess it just wasn't as easy as I thought...
-
Put the link.. image.. bannerness into a code, and I'll ty to fix it. Remember to put the entire thing in there, though. No taking away the []'s.
-
If I do that then it just turns into the banner and you can't get the code.
-
[url=http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&lang=en&jfile=index.php&topic=1334.0][img]http://i55BannedImageSite/mjmla0.png[/img][/url]
Huh. Everything seems to work fine to me. o-o Try that.
-
Yes! That works!
Every one that wants to use the banner I made, use the code CreamCheeseGummyBear put up!
-
Yay. :D I feel speshul... even though all I did was fix the code. >.>
-
That looks awesome, Kyugima x3 I'll put the code on the front page.
-
-
OH MY GOSH A PERSON APPLIED I CAN'T BELIEV-
Ahem.
Ah, yes, you're accepted x3 Just a note, though, the Medicus plays a large role in the plot (assuming a couple more people join). So yeah. Giving you a heads-up, I guess?
-
Would you like if I made a map for the pack? Just give me a general idea for the map and I can make it. Then I can upload images of it or whatnot.
-
That would be great! We were actually just discussing what the world would look like a couple pages ago. Basically, not many bright colors, probably a pale sky, kind of like a wasteland, almost. Given the plot, that's the word that seems to fit best.
-
Would it be alright if I tossed in some elephant skulls around the place?
-
Whatever you think would look best 83 In this case, elephant skulls would be perfect. Incurable plague=lots of dead creatures.
-
I'll still be around, Paradox, so I may choose to join again xD. Depending if your going to keep this goin.
-
I really want to keep this open, but I also don't want to be sitting around and waiting forever. For the bare minimum, we'd just need an Explorator to be able to start. However, in addition to that, I'd like a couple more Venators, and we really need some males x_x
-
Done with the map, hope you like it :3
Posing under a spine? why not? (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5097/5420955810_457c51feff_s.jpg)
This it the lake that supplies the water source, as you can tell the area is lusher around the banks (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5178/5420929942_433873fd23_s.jpg)
Here is where the river coursing from the lake used to be, until it dried up due to lack of green trees. Its sort of hard to see. (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5297/5420322575_a7ec052faf_s.jpg)
Elephant skull (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5298/5420929896_a303e98eae_s.jpg)
This is their prominent source of food, a migratory bird. The birds missed the strongest stage of the epidemic while migrating. (http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5020/5420929854_fe8b7298d9_s.jpg)
-
:o Epical map is epical.
-
That looks awesome, Wolf 83 I love the addition of the bird.
Right, well, as I've said before, we need at least one Explorator, preferably male, before we can get this show on the road. If no one joins in a couple days, I'll probably end up making one myself, and then when we're in-game and I'm playing Ziv we can say he's off scouting. When we get more into it, I'll probably just kill him off or something.
-
Ty, acctualy the bird was hard to get I had to transfer it from the impressive title meshes.
Hope someone joins... Could we possibly advertise, like with a wetpaint website?
-
Hey, advertise however you can xD As long as it gets us members. Though it seems that scouts are an unpopular rank; I might try changing it so that Venators are also Explorators, meaning they both scout and hunt (makes sense, right?). I'm still reluctant to add a "Warrior" type rank, but if you guys think it'd benefit us, I will.

I'm considering on joining this roleplay, I haven't made a character yet though and need a bit of time to create a bio. I'll edit this post again when I've made it up :3

Appearance: (http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq16/rmck133/screenshot_02072011_011206791.png)
Personality:
He is a rather small and lean leopard, faster then most and yet he had the disadvange of being weaker then other leopards. He has an even temperament most of the time, and he likes to keep to himself. More or less you will find him sitting alone in the back of a den deep in thought. He was a daydreamer and would do it at all hours if possible. His way of looking at things weren't the most positive, he always saw the downside to things and never the good.
Mate/Crush: N/A
Cubs/Pups: N/A
History: It was thought that he wouldn't survive during the rainless days, nearly starving when his mother or any of the other maidens weren't ever to find food. The other cubs would leave him to be picked last, or not picked at all during activates played. He was pushed and bossed around by the bigger cubs and had no real friends but for his brother; who he loved dearly and wouldn't do any harm to him... Or so he thought. For you see, Krasimir never meant to do that much harm to anyone.. It wasn't even supposed to happen to his brother. The day it happened was rather gloomy, thunder rolling loudly in the background and lighting flashing striking the ground.
The rain was starting to fall, falling harshly onto ones skin. The ground becoming muddy and slippery. The older cubs whispered amongst themselves, the suggestion about going outside and playing a trick on the younger ones came into the conversation many times.
Krasimir listened closely as he lay by his brother, his eyes tightly closed in hope he looked asleep. His ears had been pointed back towards the bigger cubs taking in their every word." It might be dangerous.." said one... " Yes, but we always go for safety over danger.." Said another.
Finally they decided on leaving the den, without an adult noticing.
Krasimir's eyes shot open as the cubs started towards the mouth of the den. He sat up as the last made it's way out. Their tail brushing against the top of the den.
Krasimir slowly stood as not to disturb his brother that was lying beside him, he was headed towards the entrance when he heard his name being called softly
"Krasimir.. Where are you going?" said the voice of his brother Maquli. He glanced back at him "Following them" He said simply and turned his back on his brother, bounding up the slight slope and out into the pouring rain. Paws sank into the muddy ground, pushing between his toes and making him feel uncomfortable. The sound of voices could be heard, not to far from where he stood. " Not doing a good job about keeping quiet are they?" he said to himself setting towards them. Thunder clapped loudly, sounding closer then one would think. "Krasimir, we should go back into the den... I don't like this" Whispered Maquli as he moved to crouch beside his brother.
Krasimir flicked his ears back looking down at Maquli "Then go back to the den.." He said nudging his shoulder lightly. Suddenly a gasp was heard then a loud clap of thunder. Lighting flashing before them and the sound of wood splitting filled their ears. He jumped up and moved to touch his nose to his brothers shoulder. Only to find there wasn't a body to be touched... Panic surged through him as he looked around wildly, the rain stinging his eyes. Leaping forward he called out his name "Maquli!" the lightning flashed and he saw a body surging forward; right in the path of a falling limb. Krasimir froze watching as the scene folded out before him.
The limb falling, and hitting the ground with a loud cracking noise.
The sound of a loud cry filled the air, leopards by now were emerging from their dens to see what was happening..
Krasimir looked around him wildly, the older cubs had gone.
Where was Maquli...
His eyes widened and he rushed towards the fallen limb.
He slipped on the muddy ground, falling in the mud and quickly scrambling up. He reached the limb and pushed aside parts of it to find Maquli..
His body was trapped under the limb crushing his whole body.
"No...no!" He rushed forward pressing his nose into his brothers fur "Maquli, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" He closed his eyes keeping his nose pressed onto his body.
His eyes stinging as he sat here, the guilt surging through his body.
He heard steps and looked up, the figures of two leopards came into view. "I saw them leaving the den.. I think Krasimir forced Maquli into coming out here.." Krasimir heard one of the cubs say in the distance. The adult leopards stopped, looking at him and then Maquli's body trapped under the tree limb.
Krasimir breathed unevenly looking between the two leopards, still pressed against his brothers body. "I.. I didn't mean to.." He uttered out as one grabbed his scruff picking him up and moving him away from the body.
As the adult carried him away he stared off to where the limb had fallen...
"Murderer" He heard, his eyes narrowed towards the cubs. They were shaking their heads, then his eyes moved to his mother whom was sobbing.
What've I done.. he closed his eyes as he dangled from the leopards mouth.
I'm a murderer.. He was placed down on the ground rather roughly and was left alone. He had to get out of here, quickly. He knew he would be exhiled, possibly even killed by the leader of the group. He swallowed and glanced around him before pushing his body up off the ground. He ran, ran as fast as he could away from this place.
He tried pushing the picture of his brother to the back of his head.
The guilt wouldn't ever leave him, he was forever drowning in it.
Other:
Sometimes I role-play in first person, but it's rare when I'm playing a male. Figured I'd mention that.
Also;
I haven't had scones before..
And um, sorry it's so long o___o I kind of got into it..?
Heh.
-
:o
That...that is awesome. I love long forms, don't worry 83 You're definitely accepted, which means that
A.) Obviously, Exsilium won't be shutting down anytime soon ^_^
B.) We can now start this whole rp thing.
Which brings me to my next order of business: How do you guys wanna do this thing? The way I was seeing it, we could start in-game, get a feel for the plot and how things are gonna work, things like that. Then, maybe after everything is going smoothly in terms of plot and whatnot, we can add a more "official" rp here on the forums, where critical events will probably happen.
Questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome 83
-
I honestly find roleplaying in the forum is /way/ easier to keep up, but with in game will give us more of feel for the plot like you said. It's really up to you.
And maybe to keep it a bit.. less chaotic have a post order? Because if not, then people will be posting all over the place and it will get a bit confusing; Plus it gives the person a bit more time to reply to anothers post without having to scroll back up and read what was said to them.
:3
-
Hmm, well me favoring in-game RPs because they feel so much realer, say we should hold the main plot in-game and use have sort of an update/news feed
-
Merp. As WolfDawn said, rping in-game has a much more real feeling to it. Afterall, we have a map or that now, right? I suppose we could rp on the forum; which I have no problem with. Maybe we could just hang out in-game.
-
Yes I see how it can, but I did it on Impressive Title and let me tell you. It was hard to keep up lol.
-
See, that's all I'm worried about: people keeping up. I have some big ideas in mind for this whole thing, and I'm afraid that if we do things exclusively in-game, a lot of people would get left behind. And obviously waiting for everyone to be online at once in order to advance the plot would end up with things moving really, really slowly. Luceria had the idea that everyone would post a sort of intro on the forums before we moved things in-game.
And perhaps I should explain what I meant earlier: My thing was that we would do the bulk of rping in-game, mostly rping out our characters' lives and more minor plottish things. However, we would move to the forum when larger events happened, such as the plague spreading, or someone getting infected.
Speaking of which, I think I've already said this, but just to be clear: No one is infected at the beginning. Later on, I'm going to be using random.org or taking volunteers for who gets sick. That means no randomly getting infected, because I might have plans for you 8P
-
-
I like your idea Paradox.
Keep some of it in forums, and some of it in game. That way we get to do a bit of everything really, some in game, some out.
I myself am horrible at ingame RPing, because it is too hard to keep up with everyone else in those things, they just speed ahead. With forum RP's you can go back and check on someones post, and have a bit more detail without it getting in the way.
-
Like Kyugima said; keep some in game and some on the forums.
and posting on the forum wouldn't make you rushed to type your post.

Username: MidnightSun
Character Name: Osirus
Age: Young Adult
Gender: Male
Species: Wolf
Desired Rank: Medicus
Appearance: Dark as night with a dark crimson undercoat. Blood red eyes that can pierce through any soul, and blood red celtic markings.
Personality: Although named after the egyptian god of the underworld, Osirus is energetic and outgoing. To some people, he can be a best friend, but to others, he could be a MAJOR pain. His appearance was made for a reason, that reason is to show pride in what he does best. Fighting. He is not easily tormented, and he is handsome.
History: Osirus was born on June 21 during the summer solstice. He was a quiet pup and often roamed away from his small pack. Once he was old enough, he went hunting with some of the hunters in his pack. As they were hunting, human hunters shot him instead of the elk that they originally came for. He was eventually sent back into the wild after two months in human care. There, he met Fade. Fade became his mate, but not for long. After four months of being Fade's mate, she was murdered by actual wolf hunters. For as long as Osirus can remember, he has been living as a heartbroken loner.
Mate/Crush: Fade
Cubs/Pups: None
-
I'm sorry, the Medicus position is already taken 8C However, you could be a Venator (hunter), Explorator (scout), or Custos (guard).
Also, I'm just going to go ahead and assume that no other pack would accept him due to being in human care or something, because he hasn't technically been cast out/exiled from a pack.
-
-
NOOOO!!!!
-
-
Uhoh.
I'm sure it will be just as good :D
-
Oh, no, our map! I hope it's not too much trouble for you to remake it D8 Wish I could help, but I'm horrible with that stuff.
And I'm kind of holding off on officially starting because I want MidnightSun up there to edit their form, or at least tell me they're not joining or something >_>;;
AHEM.
But, I've come to a decision. We'll split the rping between in-game and on the forum, since that seems to be what the majority would prefer. I'd like for the more "heavy stuff", that being any big events (like someone getting infected, which will happen later on) or possibly critical character developments (in other words, something that will radically alter their personality/appearance/abilities), to take place either on the forums or when we're all online together (it might still be okay if one person is missing, but it depends). However, if say three people from the faction are online and want to rp (I imagine this being in-game, but I guess it depends on what's happening), obviously that's completely fine to do, just as long as you inform me of anything important that may have happened. If anyone needs more details about what qualifies as "important", feel free to ask.
Right. Well, I'd at least like to start on the forum, just to get a feel for things, and then we can go from there. I'll be making a group for Exsilium in-game (nope, haven't done it yet because I'm lazy 8D;; ), so hopefully I'll see some of you around and be able to invite you. Otherwise, you can try looking for it. My in-game name is NuclearParadox, which will be your best bet to look for, 'cause I have a large cast of characters.
Wow...That is a lot of text, and a lot of parentheses.
So...yeah.
Questions? 83
-
That sounds good to me :p
-
It sounds like a freat idea
-
Fine with me. o3o
-
Agreed.
Oh and, how do you get a map you made in-game?
And MidnightSun is away or somthing like that, I know them IRL. :3

Um, no. There is elephant skulls/spines, birds, dead trees and rocks

Damnit. >.< Then something's wrong.

-
Sounds like your missing textures :x.
-
Yep. x.x
-
Hopefully you guys can work it out D8 I'd offer my help, but I really don't understand the whole "maps" thing. I made a sky once, but that was about it.
RP topic is going up sometime this week. Get pumped, yah?
-
Do you mind if i change my character to a different one? :3
-
You need the .object files, otherwise the objects won't show. Those are in there too right?
-
-
Oh kool pic you got there!!!!! <3
-
-
Hey, please don't post here if you're not a part of Exsilium.
As for your question, WolfDawn, I have no problem with you switching characters. Just get the form up and I'll replace it on the front page 83
Rp is planned to go up either tomorrow or Saturday night.
-
Awesome :D I can't wait to start roleplaying :3
-
I wont be on at saturday DX
-
That's okay, WolfDawn, because we're just starting in the forums.
Which I am about to do.
But I must ask of you all.
Would you rather rp...
A.) Here, on this topic
B.) On another topic, in the Prides/Packs/Clans board
C.) On another topic, in the General Roleplay board
-
Anywhere but on this exact thread is fine with me. o-o
-
OH HO HO I WONDER WHAT THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE. (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&lang=en&jfile=index.php&topic=2822.0)
Edit: ALSO. I hear there's a search function for groups in-game now? I've made the group for Exsilium, so go ahead and request to join if you haven't already 8D
-
Will do :D I'm excited xD
-
Hark, your leader comes bearing words! Words you should read!
Okay, so if you haven't posted a little intro on the rp board, GO DO THAT PLEASE 83 As I said before, it's to get a feel for our various characters and the setting. And the mood, I guess. You don't need to interact if you don't want, just a quick couple paragraphs.
In-game rp won't be starting 'till everyone posts their intros. I assume the map thing is still not going very well, so there's a chance that when we start in-game, it'll be on a public map. No biggie, right?
And...that's about it. Questions, comments?
-
WOO!
Sorry about not putting my thing up. I was going to once but forgot, and never came back... I'm a horrible member :c
-
All the cool kids are posting intros, man. Give in to the peer pressure. @^@
If you were waiting for me to post (lulyeahright) then I apologize. But I have done it, so you should too. ONWARD TO PARADISE~! -
-
Nah, it's cool. It's easy to forget xD
Also, I'll be PMing the Medicus (that's you, WolfDawn! 8D) within the next few days to discuss TOP SEKKRIT STOOFS.
Nah, it'll be public knowledge soon enough.
BUT I NEED TO KNOW, WOLFDAWN.
Would you like your PM with no plot spoilers, or major plot spoilers? 8D
-
Medics are luckyyy, :p
-goes to type post- :D
-
-
You guys are still accepting new members right? X3 I know you need males and all, but I'm more comfortable playing females... I can change to a male character if you want me to, though.
Username: therougecat
Character name: Lumina
Age: Adult, on the younger side but older than a teen
Gender: Female
Species: Cheetah
Desired Rank: Explorator
Appearance:
(http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr333/therougecat/Feral%20Heart/screenshot_03012011_175021782.png)
Personality: Lumina is a quiet, gentle cheetah. She enjoys being around others, but fares well on her own. She doesn't talk much, but rather sits and listens.
She is fast and agile, but is very weak as a fighter. Prefers to run than to fight. If fighting is required, she will make her best effort, but will very rarely win. Also really enjoys scones. (Just kidding X3)
Mate/Crush: None yet >u>
Cubs/Pups: None.
History: Before the disease reached her area, Lumina lived in a cheetah empire, led by an emperor named Ferinus. Ferinus' empire was based on order - socially, governmentally, etc. The fastest cheetahs were given a higher social status, leaving little room for strength.
The males in this empire were the ones who chose their mates, and a female who declined his offer was scorned by society. When Ferinus' son, Ditus, came of age, it was a big deal. Almost every female in the empire was trying her hardest to catch his attention - yet Lumina was not one of them. She didn't have any interest in Ditus, as he was arrogant and took advantage of being prince and future emperor.
To her dismay, when it came time for Ditus to choose his mate, he selected Lumina due to her lean features and submissive nature. He felt she would not object to any choices he made as emperor, as Ferinus' mate did.
When Lumina declined his offer, he was furious. He ordered the guards (Who had been trained for strength, not speed) to attack her, and leave her just barely alive - alive enough to consider his offer again. She managed to escape their claws and run, seeing no other option.
After several days of wandering, she came upon Exilium.
Other:
You needed an rp sample, right?
Lumina opened her eyes and looked to the horizon. The sun was just coming up, flooding the barren land with golden light. Day was usually when she would sleep, as in this dry landscape, day was scorchingly hot. However, due to Ditus' scouts constantly searching for her, day seemed a safer time to travel.
Her third day traveling, and Lumina had just reached the edge of the empire. She crouched down for a drink from a shallow pond, then continued on her way. Stupid empire with its stupid rules, she thought angrily, I was perfectly fine until that big brute Ditus chose me. She raked her claws through the dry, sandy soil.
She turned around for one last look at the extensive empire before she left it forever. Her eyes locked on two dark specks racing through the grassland, dust flying behind them. "Crap, they're still after me!" she spat to herself. She sprung from her resting spot and sprinted forward in an attempt to get out of sight before the scouts reached her. Her powerful muscles had been weakened by days of wandering with only scraps to eat.
After a few minutes of running, she skidded to a halt, panting. I can't do this. They can outrun me. She looked back up at the horizon. The specks had now grown to tiny cheetah shapes.
Suddenly, an idea struck her. She stood up, knowing she appeared as weak as she was. She raised her head and called out, "YOU'LL NEVER GET ME TO BECOME THAT BRUTE'S MATE. NEVER." The scouts had stopped running, and just stared at her. She then continued, "FERINUS WAS RIGHT. DEFYING THE ORDER WILL BE THE LAST THING ANYONE WILL EVER DO." She then collapsed, half for theatrical purposes and half out of fatigue.
When she woke up that night, she knew that her little performance had worked. The scouts were gone.
I'm sorry it's a little on the long side ^^; I'm better at full stories than forum post rps. I hope it's still good, though.
-
Whoa, hey, I'm sick/busy for a couple days and this happens! You're accepted, Rouge, and can go ahead and post your intro on the roleplay topic. And why does everyone apologize for long forms? I love long forms xD
Right, so, updates. As I said before, we need everyone to post their intro before we start in-game. That means GummyBear and Rouge. Also, again, if you haven't requested to join the in-game group yet, please do so ASAP.
And I'm not going to be accepting any more females until we get some testosterone up in here ;)

Username: Definition
Character name: Superior Definition
Age: 2 3/4 years old (young adult).
Gender: Male
Species: Cougar x Lion
Desired Rank: Custos
Appearance: http://i53BannedImageSite/2ymfthd.png (http://i53BannedImageSite/2ymfthd.png)
Personality: Superior isn't much of a talker, he's not the type to start a big conversation with someone. For the time he does socialize, he can be found arrogant and confident, cocky, laid back, and a bit of a 'playboy'. There is always a constant smirk on his face. He's respectful and polite to his superiors and leaders, but not afraid to argue. Superior doesn't have a problem with killing either. He's not scared to take one's life, whether if it's an order or personal intention. If he has to murder and kill for his own sake, it's not a problem, as long as there is reason.
For the people he desperately cares for, preferably a mate or crush, he totally loses his tough exterior around them and transforms into a protective male. He is more aggressive if they're in danger or trouble. Secretly, hearing his love's voice is like sweet music, standing around her is like heaven.
Mate/Crush: -
Cubs/Pups:
History: Superior was raised as a normal lion. His mother was a lion, his father was a cougar. He was raised in his mother's pride. No one knew he was part cougar, except for his mother and him. The leader of the pride excepted him as his blood related son, not knowing he was not the real sire. Eventually, the secrets were spilled when his mother told the leader of the pride that Superior was not pure lion. Outraged, the pride's leader exiled Superior from their land and pride. He was about a year old when this happened and has been surviving on his own until now.

(http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m580/Rairukka/FH/Adder1.png)
Username: Rairukka
Character Name: Adder
Age: 4 yrs (Mature Adult)
Gender: Male
Species: Feline
Breed: Black Panther
Desired Rank: Custos
Personality: Adder, despite being named after a deadly snake, is quite friendly. He's always looking on the bright side and willing to play. He is also rather helpful and dependable in certain situations. Once befriended you'll have a friend/mate for life as Adder is very loyal. This is because he is secretly afraid of being alone and fears rejection. If you make him your enemy, I'd watch out. When provoked he won't hesitate to fight and kill if the need arises. Adder will always be willing to fight for what he believes in.
Mate/Crush: N/A
Cubs/Pups: None
History: Adder was born the oldest son in a litter of three to Mamba and Taipan. For some reason his family's lineage had an affinity for snake names. His siblings were named Anaconda and Boa. As customary Mamba took no part in caring for the cubs and was never seen again. Yet Taipan told the cubs stories of their father and Adder was always riveted to hear this stories of heroics and adventure. Later on in life he struck out on his own as all leopards do, but he had naively wandered into another male leopard's territory. As it turned out the territory was Mamba's. Adder was attacked and driven from the land, unaware that his attacker was his own father. A few months later of wandering he stumbled upon Exsilium.
Other: Scones are epically delicious =3

Wow, this has been dead for a while, I couldn't even find it when I was telling everyone I was deleting all characters and leaving all groups. Which reminds me, I left this group a while ago, I realised I was in too much stuff despite not actually being PART of anything, you know? So sorry.
