Shifting Spirits

Already accepted? Role-play here!

A warm mist surrounds your body, masking the scents of the forest. You feel cold, despite the beaming morning sun. Suddenly, a crackle of leaves sounds behind you and you whirl around to see a...... a tribe of humans staring expectantly at you. "Welcome to the Forest of Shifting Spirits." The voice seems to be all around you as if the whole forest is speaking but yet it just comes from one of the humans before you. "You are one of us. Your spirit longs to be one of the Others. An animal lives deep inside of you and it urges to be set free." All you can do is stare in bewilderment as the humans in front of you start to change. A voice speaks in your mind, "We are one." This time however, the voice seems oddly familiar yet you've never heard it before. With a shudder you realise that this is what they were talking about. Your spirit is more that you ever imagined.

Not all is peaceful though, after the earthquake, no one is safe. People still hold out hope that it was just a natural disaster, but you know differently. The earthquake was caused by the government; the same government that has sent the FBI out to roam the streets. The same government that is capturing Shifters. The same government that now wants to rule. It is your job to save the very few humans that are truly one of you. It's your job to teach them to be who they are, and once every shifter if found.... Once each of them know their place.... only then can you all be safe. Finally, after the very last Shifter is trained, you, along with all the others, can escape from the world you know.

This is the Star Stones. Where the Shifters gather to share their newfound spells, talk or just hang out. The way to get here is by following the Lake Path to its end and you will come across the Star Stones. This is where all "Tribe" meetings are held.


The Lake Path where most Shifters often like to swim. This is the main route to the Star Stones and the Forest Village where the Shifters live. There are many different types of fish living in this lake and some Shifters even like to hunt in their animals forms in the lake.


These are the houses in which the Shifters live, commonly referred to as the "Forest Village." Each Shifter lives in their own house but Trainee Shifters live closest to their Teachers. Their houses are usually separated by a very short rope bridge instead of a long one that joins all the houses. Every single house is connected by rope bridges and there are stairs and ladders leading up to each of them.
