(Hello! This is the sign-up and OOC thread for the RP, this RP will be active and I will check out this and the RP thread often!)
(RP thread here! http://www.lioden.com/topic.php?id=181126340000 )

Plot:
In the future the modern world has been upheavled by the forces of magic, centuries pass and humanity is slowly re-colonizing the broken and overgrown cities...Almost everything that was made by the modern age is gone. Strange beasts roam this new world and special people with magical powers called 'The Lost Ones' have started appearing. Will these people use their abilities as a blessing or a curse? Will the world survive or die at their hands? Only time can tell.

The World:
Most of the cities have been reduced to overgrown ruins where very small and independent villages are scattered...A few but very rare cities are mostly intact and certain modern technology is easy to find in these mostly intact cities which have become 'kingdoms'. Most of nature has reclaimed the country-side, turning them into lush plains and forests. Beasts are found everywhere in this new world and are considered very dangerous.
(The modern world was destroyed in 2035, the story takes place in the year 2435).

Pacts:

-Pacts are very complicated and can only be preformed by a lost one with certain beasts (Those who are werewolves or kitsunes can't form pacts). Currently known beasts able to form pacts with lost ones are dragons, unicorns, phoenixes, and gryphons... While the pact will give the lost one increased power while the beast gains more knowledge and some amount of control of the lost one...Both must pay a price in exchange, stronger the beast the higher the price will be. Beast and Lost One become dependent on eachother through the pact, if one dies the other dies aswell.

Beasts:
(This will be worked on through time)
-Pheonix: Large birds with large crests and plumage resembling fire (Males have bright colors while females resemble rust with black/gray marks), they are more intelligent than most birds but are still animals. They secrete a special chemical on their feathers that they can use to set themselves on fire as a form of self-defense without harming themselves, they can be domesticated an are omnivorous.

-Unicorn: Descended from horses, in the new world they are a much more common sight than their ancestors. However they are typically more aggressive and thus nearly impossible to tame, they live in small herds and have all the coats and markings of a normal horse, their horns are 1 ft long and their average size is 15-18 hands.

-Dragon: Dragons are extremely intelligent and sentient, they are known to take human disguises...No one knows much about them except for the fact they typically look down upon humans and are the most advanced beings in this world. (Most are typically colors based off of metal or ore, though black and white dragons exist aswell)

-Werewolf: Humans altered by a strange disease, their bodies have taken the shape of a human and wolf hybrid. Their sanity and intelligence varies, some acting more like animals while others retain their sentience. (Lost Ones are able to change between this and human, normal humans stay like this permentally).

-Gryphon: Large four-legged 'birds' their plumage varies from place to place, intelligent and with good eyesight they are some of the most feared predators. They typically live in family groups and hunt numbers up to 5-10, they are strict carnivores and are around the height of 4-7 ft tall.

-Zombie: These are the unlucky living beings who have been controlled by a parasite. Their only purpose is to ensure the parasite's continued survival and rot away once their task is complete, Lost Ones who are skilled with mind-control can typically control up to 3 due to the fact they hardly have any will-power.

-Hellhounds: Mutated canines, they typically are larger than the average dog and are mostly hairless. Extremely aggressive and packhunters, they are considered very dangerous. Hellhounds are very difficult to train but once they are trained you have a fierce and loyal companion.

-Cerberus: Larger than hellhounds, these canines have three heads which have their own distinct personalities and have been known to bicker amongst themselves. They are solitary unlike hellhounds and twice as aggressive, Cerberus are completely untrainable.

-Basilisk: Very large constrictor snakes, they are solitary and are known to live in places near water. Basilisks carry a venomous bite that is more potent then most snakes, extremely dangerous and untameable.

-Arachne: Spiders that are around 4 ft tall, they create complex webs and snares to catch prey. Arachnes are not social and can't be 'trained' though some people have managed to keep them as 'pets', so long as they have a large and powerful cage on hand.

-Kitsune: Similar to the werewolf but keeping their intelligence and sanity, both humans and lost ones can switch between human and beast form...Kitsunes are known to be extremely intelligent and opportunistic.

-Werecat: Similar to the werewolf however while some are stuck their slightly bestial forms they mostly retain their intelligence and sanity.

-Wererat: Wererats regardless of being human or lost one are able to switch between human and man-beast forms, they are very intelligent and opportunistic like the kitsune but lack the suave social skills kitsune are famous for.
(More details and beasts will be placed in the forums)
