Dawn's Forest {Sign-Ups}

thebrokenvibe • 23 December 2017 at 4:44 PM

Dawn's Forest, such a pleasant name for what is most likely the grimmest location around. With towering trees, bogs, marshes, and other such dangers, it is unlikely most survive for long after wandering in. The forest itself is dark, gloomy, and dreary. Filled with beasts the like humanity only writes about in their stories of fantasies. In Dawn's Forest, time is warped, reality is different, and it seems as if multiple time periods all coalesce into one, so people don't always leave the same year the entered, that is if they leave at all, most don't. Someone from the year 2017 might enter the forest, and will emerge in 3017. Someone from 1917 can enter and emerge in 1967 without having aged a day. Someone from 2017 can enter and emerge in 1917. Everything within the forest is different, warped and constantly changing. The beasts that lurk within are fierce, and eager to attack others when they can. Nowhere proves safe for too long. Save for the heart of the forest, the only area that proves to be safe and secure, but even that is hard to reach, the outsides patrolled by beasts at all times.

Rumors are that if a human spends long enough in the forest they take on animal attributes, and become more resistant to the beasts powers. Although very few people in Dawn's Forest survive long enough to become like this.


The beasts of the forest range from human like to animistic. Primarily resembling something close to animals, although most are hybrid like animals. Beasts all have some form of poison or venom, that they utilize to help stop any wanderers that might get stuck in the forest. The beasts are primarily aggressive, and fierce, although every now and then there might be one found to be sympathetic to humans, although its a 1 in 6 chance to find one, and even slimmer odds to find one that will survive long enough to make a difference.

If you want a challenge, base them off the extended zodiac.


As established, reality is different in the forest, and with reality being different so does a majority of basic human needs. Rarely they need to eat, or drink, or anything related to those two. But more often they find themselves tired, exhausted and deprived of energy. This makes sense, as there is little to no source of food in the forest save for the strange fruits growing on the trees, and even then those fruits tend to prove to be deadly if enough or too little are consumed.


-A maximum of two humans per person, but as the forest is supposed to be infested, the amount of beasts you make is currently set at 6, so a total of 8 characters.
-No sue’s, godmodding, or powerplaying
-Under no circumstances are you to be able to leave the forest unless permission is given. As I said, most don’t leave the forest, and the times are all wonky when you leave anyways.
-Not every beast can be humanoid, a majority of the beasts are animal like, so please keep that in mind.
-The forest opens to allow people to enter every fifty years, the open years would be 1817, 1867, 1917, 1967, 2017, 2067, and so forth. Keep this in mind when creating forms.
-One in six beasts is human friendly, so don’t make every single beast a human sympathizer. The less that would not attack humans on sight, the better.
-No magically curing a beasts toxins(venom or poison or otherwise), the beasts all need a cure unless their toxin would not be effective enough on its own. Feel free to make the cures hard to gather, the beasts are supposed to be deadly for a reason.
-Sample rps are necessary for each post with forms you do, but not for every form.
-Have fun, and don’t be too rude to others.
-Be literate, or close to it. Some misspelling are fine, as are grammatical errors. But please don’t be using poor spelling every post, or close to every post.
-On the same branch, post more than two sentences every time you use a character. So basically 3+ sentences for each character you use, without a completely valid reason(like your character is dying or something). This is a personal preference, as one word replies just grow bland and kill an RP.
-All characters are the same age as when they entered, time runs differently and so they shouldn’t have aged yet.
-Keep in mind for the proper clothing from the time zone in which the character entered, this is especially important if they entered before the 2000’s. So please look up clothing from (year you’re using) and use it.
-You can’t yet have the rumored humans, those are on their own status and form stuff and once the time comes I shall allow people to make them.
-Weapon of choice is usually something they make with the things within the forest, so spears, wooden daggers and ropes made from vines. Although if they brought stuff with them that is fine as well. Just keep
-Don’t use excessive caps, or punctuation. Please. I have anxiety and that stuff makes it way worse.
-If you have read and you agree to the rules please give me your characters sign, whether it be a western zodiac sign, an eastern zodiac sign, their celtic sign, or something from a fictional world. I don’t care, just give me something.

But she had made a promise, she had accepted Maven’s dare and she was going to finish it, besides she only had to take a few steps in. Only as far as the first tall tree. She would be in and out in not time, back in the house with her friends and able to tell her story. Taking a deep breath she hurried into the forest, glancing back every now and them to see the lights from her friends as they helped illuminate the area where she entered. Once she ran her hand over the large tree, the first in which she couldn’t even see the top, she turned. The lights that had been illuminating the trees behind her was gone. She hurried back the way she came, but it seemed longer this time. The trees growing taller the farther she back tracked.

{If this seems familiar, than congrats to you for having been around for a few years. But also, yes, it is familiar. I based it off of a roleplay made by @emilianagerson called DeathOaks. Obviously there have been changes to things, as I didn't completely steal her roleplay idea, but her RP gave me heavy inspiration for this.}

I'm bad at focusing on human-based characters so is it fine if I make a group of beasts?

Name: Ara {Pronounced Are-uh}

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Pronouns: She, her, Ara

Looks: Ara is a mix between a snow leopard and a white tiger; she would blend easily with snow. Her mixes split clearly along the middle of her spine, her head, shoulders, and rest of that section being a white tiger's strong build and her tail, hind paws, and the section there being that of a snow leopard's lean build. She has one light blue left eye and a golden-yellow right eye.

Poison/Venom: When she bites down on living flesh, her fangs emit a poisonous fluid that enters the skin. {For some reason I imagine it as a mosquito?}

Cure: Three petals of a lilac, eight thorns from a rose, and two leaves from that of a birch tree.

Abilities: Ara's abilities are speed and the "poison bite."

Other: Aries

Sample RP: Ara stamped down brittle branches from the dry bush and relished the satisfying snapping sound for a moment. She then lifted her head and called for Allard. There was no reply. ``Allard?`` she hesitantly began padding forward. She pushed her way through thick tree branches and jumped over tree roots. As she pushed her way forward, she scrambled back into a bush when she saw Allard standing in a small clearing with another beast. Thoughts instantly raced up and down her mind. Who was this new beast, and why was it here?



Name: Allard {Pronounced Al-er-d, I'm guessing? I looked up medieval names for some reason. At least I know their meanings.}

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Pronouns: He, him, Allard

Looks: Allard is mostly a black panther, those features being his tail, head, paws, and build, and though it is hard to tell, he is also a mix with a tiger, a lighter black set of stripes on his back being the only indication. He has piercing amber eyes.

Poison/Venom: Allard can emit a purplish gas much like poison gas, which can either have deadly effects or can put a human to sleep; it can happen either way.

Cure: The fang of a python, the tail of a rattlesnake, and the eye of a raccoon.

Abilities: AIlard's abilities are strength and the "poison gas."

Other: Cancer

Sample Rp: Allard glanced at the bush as he spoke and blinked. ``Did you hear something?`` ``No.`` Aadish replied. Allard narrowed his eyes and stepped forward, his pace getting quicker with each step. He pounced on the bush with a menacing roar that wasn't load enough to scare off anything but loud enough to be a fair and well-said warning. The beast beneath him screeched and kicked with its hind legs without warning. Allard skidded backwards on the leaves and gasped as the beast stood, licking a cut he had made on its shoulder. ``Ara! What are you doing here?``





Name: Aadish {Pronounced Ah-dish, I presume?}

Age: 19

Gender: Bigender

Pronouns: They, them, Aadish.

Looks: Aadish is a breed between a lion and a Indochinese tiger. {Indonesian?} Aadish is split into halves,their its left side being that of a lion's and their right side being a tiger. They have a lion's mane on their left side that cuts off on their right side to be a furry tuft that would ring around the face of a tiger. Down the middle of their face is something of a line that splits the two breeds. Their tail is also split, the left side being the tail of a lion's and the right being that of a tiger's. Other than those features, it is plainly easy to tell between Aadish's different breeds. Aadish has one light-golden eye on their left side and an amber eye on their right side.


Poison/Venom: When Aadish bites their tongue they release a venom that only they are immune to, to use it against an enemy they would spit it at the chosen target.

Cure: A tail-feather from a peacock, four hot ashes, and the venom of a snake.

Abilities: Aadish has telepathy and their ability to spit poison.

Other: Virgo

Sample RP: Aadish watched the human, ears twitching. They fought the temptation to hunt down the human. Eventually Aadish couldn't help theirself as they threw theirself at the human. After they had injected his venom, they snarled and let the human run off. It had been around a few weeks since Ara and Allard had accepted them into their group, and they had worked hard to protect Ara and Allard, being the oldest and most experienced. But Allard seemed to be the protector. Ara was the one who made places to settle at night and things like that. Aadish didn't know their role in the group. But they were hopeful.

@fluffy-birdy-flower Please reread the rules, and beast section of the first post and edit accordingly. Noneare accepted. And the beasts wrre never humans, so please fix that.

@wolfspike23 please reread the rules and beast section and edit your forms accorsingly.

@animalliterature the beasts aren't derived from humans. As the forsst is mystical the beasts are as well.

animalliterature • 26 December 2017 at 9:39 AM

@thebrokenvibe changed and added a character because why not. Not like I have anything important to do.

thebrokenvibe • 26 December 2017 at 4:32 PM

@fluffy-birdy-flower Again you need to reread the section on beasts and the rules and edit your forms accordingly.

@animalliterature Accepted.

Abilities*: Her deadly touch and she has the ability to blow at your face and make you fall in love with her.

Sample RP: Nightseeker swooped down quietly approaching Saren as he rolled around in the soft green grass. As he looked the other way she attacked him biting with her needle like baby teeth and he threw her to the side and pounced on her playfully. They rolled in the grass not realizing they were tumbling into the dark forest of Aslith. When they finally got to tired to roll anymore they layed down in a bush and licked their fur and paws and they made sure there wings weren't broken.
Then Aslith grabbed them by the tuft of hair on their necks and threw them into a rock Saren tumbled down a hill and Nightseeker's paw go caught under a rock. She yelped and saw Aslith pick up Saren and dig his claws into Saren's neck. Then Aslith threw them once again back into their own territory and he flew away. Nightseeker quickly ran up to Saren. She felt Saren but it was to late. He lay there cold and still blood al over the grassy ground. "Aslith!!!!!!!!" she yelled in anger and rage. Then she flew off and was alone on her own in the woods surviving. She began seeing other beasts and she finally made her way into the group earning their respect she thought the leaders were Ara and Allard but she wasn't quite sure none of them were.
