I just spent the past 20 minutes curled up in pain at the bottom of the stairs. Thank god I hit each step with my bad knee, in addition to my medication making my reaction time similar to a Slowbro so I could only process that I was hitting the stairs before the pain kicked in. What a wonderful day.

[ My hopes, my dreams, my fantasies... HAHAHAHAHA! Won't they be impressed, I am a genius, SEE HOW I TRANSFORM THIS OLD RAT INTO A MOST DELIGHTFUL HAT! ] 8D
[ I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the internet dream. I had a dream that one day this forum will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "KH-Vids says no to Double Posting of Threads and Posts , KH-Vids says no to spam , KH-Vids says no to Flaming and Harassment, KH-Vids says Watch Your Content, and KH-Vids says Let the staff do their job." I have a dream that one day in the open plains of Indtroduce Yourself the sons of former noobs and the sons of former members, premiums, and staff will be able to sit down together at the thread of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even Discussion, a section sweltering with the heat of drama, sweltering with the heat of flaming, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and peace. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a forum where they will not be judged by the color of their name but by the content of their posts. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day, down in the Spam Zone, with its vicious posters, with its moderator having his lips dripping with the drool of sleeping rather than studying for AP exams; one day right there in the Spam Zone, little noob boys and noob girls will be able to join hands with little premium boys and premium girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every section shall be exalted, every thread and post shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the forum shall be revealed, and all members shall see it together. ] And then I woke up.

The StoryThis is Wildland – a world comprised of war-like clans. Each has a representative animal, said to be the original ancestors of each clan’s people. The clans reside on different islands; wars in the past have separated many and created rivalries. In the past, the Reptile clans united and attacked the others to try and dominate the lands. This caused many clans to band together to defeat the Reptiles. After successfully defeating the attacking clans, the islands were divided up among the clans based on their animal. The Reptile clans, condemned for their attempts to take over all of Wildland, were banished to the largest island – the Southern Island, renamed Reptilia. While large, it is mostly harsh jungle, with little room for living space. The remaining clans separated themselves on the following islands: Aves (West – avians) , Aquaeus (Northwest – marine animals), Cenozoa Minor (Northeast – small mammals), and Cenozoa Major (East – large mammals). Collectively, they formed the North Islands. As the ages passed, contact with the Reptiles ceased, and communication with neighboring islands started. Bridges were built across each of the North Islands, but only one bridge to each island, in the event that one island would wage war against another. The inhabitants of the North Islands agreed that there would be no bridges built to the South Island, and any island found doing so would automatically be suspect to treason and attacked. But even on the North Islands, consolidated leadership is rare, and rather than unite each island under one leader, they have continued with the traditional individual clan leaders. You are a member of one of the clans – fairly young and inexperienced, but you’ve heard the legends. You know who the Reptiles are and what they represent. You believe that should an uprising come again, you and your brothers and sisters will stand together as warriors and repel the “Lizards” as your ancestors did. After all, you were trained in combat since you were eight, and considered a true warrior when you turned sixteen. Little do you know that the Reptiles are planning a second war – this time far more disastrous than the last. The Reptile clans, unlike the North Islands clans, have been united under one powerful leader. A leader that is determined to make the North Islands pay for the shame they caused the Reptiles centuries ago. Rumors are springing up here and there that the Reptile clans are getting active, but many pass it off as false rumors. However, in recent days, you’ve felt an odd power in you rising. It builds up over the course of a month, and then, on the last day of the year, which would become known as The Last Day of Peace, a change occurs. It is a moonless night, and in your home, you find yourself changing forms – from human to beast. The next morning, you awake on the floor, with no recollection of what occurred the night before. When you step outside a terrifying sight greets you. Your village is half destroyed, and warriors bearing the armor of Reptiles lay dead on the ground. The villagers – the ones who are alive – catch sight of you and seem afraid. Upon asking why, the clan leader comes forward, and explains that the previous night Reptile warriors landed in the North Islands. Death for the villagers seemed certain, but a massive animal appeared and slew them, but in the process, destroyed part of the village because of its size. Once the Reptiles were dead, the animal transformed back into a human. More specifically, you. The leader tells you that you are far too dangerous to remain in the village. So you leave. But you are also told that you are a powerful legend – a shapeshifter. The Rules1. No godmodding or powerplaying. 2. Do not argue with me on things in the RP. 3. There is only one of each clan; therefore there is only one of an animal. 4. Animals must be real, though I may make exceptions if you PM me. 5. Limit of two characters so far, but if you have two one must be from the Reptile clans. 6. Weapon size and strength must be relative to your animal; you cannot double up on weapons (ex. You can’t have two katana, but you can have a katana and a knife). 7. Alternately, your character can have a weapon and shield. 8. Character’s age is AT LEAST sixteen. 9. Only characters of Reptile clans can have primarily black or dark clothing/armor/etc. All other characters must have minimum black/dark coloring. 10. Put “Going Ghost” somewhere in your first post. 11. Keep everything within the rules of the site and this section. 12. Ask for permission if you wish to kill off another character. 13. Do your best to use understandable grammar. 14. Posts must be at least three lines long. 15. Normal characters' font color is to be the default color; Reptile font is to be black. 16. I will add more rules if necessary. OC Form: Username: Name: Age: Appearance: Island: Animal: Weapon (main): Weapon (sub): Bio: The Characters Spoiler Username: DPWolf Name: Akane Kibachi Age: 18 Appearance: Spoiler Island: Cenozoa Major Animal: Wolf Weapon (main): Wrist claws Weapon (sub): Mid-sized katana Bio: A member of the Wolf Clan, Akane grew up in a world of fighting. She is quick to react and has a sharp mind, but is wary of others from outside of her clan. Akane was considered gifted as a warrior, and by the age of eighteen, two years after she was considered a true warrior, was a respected member of the clan. After her shapeshifting occurred, however, the clan members feared her tactical ability and were forced to make the decision to make her an outcast. She currently lives on the southwest shores of the Cenozoa Major island. Username: DPWolf Name: Harland Lundstrom Age: 35 Appearance: Spoiler Island: Reptilia Animal: Unknown reptile Weapon (main): Flamberge Weapon (sub): Shield Bio: A mysterious – but ruthlessly violent – man, Harland was found by a Reptile clan as an infant. The clan passed on the stories of the Reptiles’ defeat, and since then Harland has carried the bitterness from the Reptile clans’ loss to the North Islands all throughout his life. He has since plotted his revenge, and after discovering that he was a shapeshifter, he used intimidation and brute strength to once again unite the Reptile clans. No one is certain what his clan animal is, but rumors say that it is a beast more legendary than the fact that he is a living legend himself. Username: Fayt-Harkwind Name: Kraven Sollum Age: 19 Appearance: http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k427/Fayt-Harkwind/Heromachinecharacter2copy.jpg Island: Cenozoa Major Animal: Lion Weapon (main): A hand axe Weapon (sub): a dagger Bio: A member of the Lion Clan. He was raised to fight from the age of 8 with the rest of his clan but soon became noticeable as a decent tactician and hunter for his age. Although he had great skills he lacked motivation but was not completely idle. He needed others to motivate him as he would end up sleeping anywhere if he lost interest or simply began daydreaming. After the shape shifting he left on his own before his clan rejected him as he felt they would. He began wandering the wilderness with no aim as he had nothing to motivate him. Username: Akua WaterDragonKing Name: Jordan Tide Age: 16 Appearance: Spoiler Island: Aquaeus Animal: Dolphin Weapon (main): Trident Weapon (sub): Shield with a Trident Symbol with a Dolphin behind it. Bio: He is from the Dolphin clan that does most of the fishing and trading between the Islands (But Reptilia ofcouse). On The Last Day of Peace, he was late night fishing for his family when the changes occur and while the Reptiles attacked the Clan by land and sea. He woke up find the sea red with the boats wrecked, and bodies floating. He saw blood on himself and so he washed off in the redend sea. The Chief told him what he did and what he must do. So he grabbed some cloths, his family gave him there family's Trident and Shield, and he lefted the Clan. Username: Midnight Star Name: Chance Silver Age: 16 Appearance: Long brunette hair, usually tied upin a high pony tail, blue eyes, very small and usually wears a pink tank top with a jacket. Island: Aves Animal: Golden Eagle Weapon (main): Sword Weapon (sub): dagger Bio: Chance was a well liked member of her clan, as she was sweet natured and always looked out for others but she was often overlooked during training as she was small and she was often got ignored for stronger members. She was horrified when she discovered he village destroyed and left quickly, scared of hurting those she loved. She doesn't know what to do and believes she is a monster. Username:Spike Name: Artix Badlands Age: 19 Appearance: http://media.photobucket.com/image/i...53000.jpg?o=95 Island: Cenozoa Major Animal: Lynx Weapon (main): Crossbow Weapon (sub): Hunting Knife Bio: Passive, witty, cunning, selfish, extortionist a-la-max. These words describe Artix Badlands to a point. He had always been a black sheep to his clans, often because his personality didn't correspond to his tribe's animal, the Lynx. All his life, he had heard lectures such as "Like the great cat, you must be noble, proud, swift and terrible!", but Artix couldn't care less. So, as you can guess, it wasn't much of a hard decision to make when he was cast out of the village since they were all looking for an excuse to kick him out anyway. He spends most of his time in the snowy mountains of Cenozoa Major.
Something will happen...can you guess what? [ But in seven days, whoever reads this message will have a crazed zombie girl come out of their monitor and kill them. ]
