Sign Up When Humans are the Enemy

[Ben]

[B]Prologue[/B]

In the year 3050, humans began a colony on a nearby planet. (given the advances in technology, [I]nearby[/I] has a whole different meaning) The planet turned out to be so much like Earth that all sorts of Earth animals were brought an released. The humans, in accordance to its similarity, and lack of imagination, called the planet New Earth. The colony thrived and after a few centuries a small country was being born.

Scientists from Earth pressured the fledgling government to legalize human cloning. After many, many, long and heated debates the scientists were permitted to clone humans. Many attempts failed, but eventually the process was perfected. They used the clones to work in hospitals, sanitation work, and other essential jobs.

After a while, the scientists were not satisfied with their replicas. They wanted clones that were better than their originals. They decided to extract DNA from Earth animals and substitute it for certain segments in the clones' DNA strands, changing small things such as sight, hearing, smell, and other basic senses. The result of their new experiments were clones who could see in the dark, clones that could smell things better than the best hounds, and humans who could hear a pin drop from a mile away.

When their experiments were successful, the scientists cloned more, and more, and more of the super-clones. Some of their newer ones were the strength of a rhino, the cleverness of a fox, and even the ability of a chameleon to blend in with their surroundings.

However, the clones began to change further. They soon grew to resemble the animals from which their abilites came. Some of them began to take on the character of their animals. The ones with fox DNA became clever and untrustworthy, the ones with mouse DNA became timid, and the ones with rhino DNA became short-tempered and protective. The clones grew increasingly uncooperative.

The scientists realized that they had gone too far and decided to destroy the clones. The clones, of course, fought back. Led by a clever owl-clone, they killed their creators and escaped. The human society had not known about these super-clones and panicked. In reality, the clones had no mailce against the humans, they wished to live in peace. But the government of the single nation viewed the clones as a threat that had to be eliminated. They sent in their military to subdue the clones. But, they hadn't counted on the clones' comradery. All of the clones, small and large, clever and dim, came together to resist the threat. Thus began the First War.

Although they were in almost every way better than the humans, the clones were defeated by the humans' enormous advatnatge of numbers and their lack of technology. The clone resistance fled underground and into the air, nursing their failure and preparing for another major assault. It was no longer about living above ground; it was about revenge.

Oy, it's been a while since I started an RPG. :p Probably because I've had bad experiences with them in the past. >_<

Anyway, here's what you need to sign up...

[B]Name:[/B] Ordinary, weird, your choice.

[B]Age:[/B] Clones grow and develop faster than humans when they're young, but slow down when they reach maturity. At about 14 they're full grown and considered full members of their society.

[B]Race:[/B] No humans! This is to find out from which animal you get your special ability/ies.

[B]Special Ability/ies:[/B] Great vision, hearing, smell...etc. etc.

[B]Weapons:[/B] If applicable, can include tusks, horns, or claws depending on race. Nothing too high tech please, keep it medieval if possible.

[B]Bio:[/B] Optional, you might want to put off on this until I post some of the RPG's peculiarities.

[B]Occupation:[B] [I]See Bio.[/I]

I'll post mine later, along with the aforementioned peculiarities and possible occupations.

[Jokopoko]

[b]Name:[/b] Michio Gensai

[b]Age:[/b] 16

[b]Race:[/b] Wolf

[b]Special Ability/ies:[/b] Enhanced Sences, improved strength and speed and other Wolf like attributes.

[b]Weapons:[/b] Wolf like teeth and claws as well as two medium sized daggers.

[b]Bio:[/b] Michio was born to both a Wolf mother and Wolf farther. This is because of their secretive nature and the fact that they don't trust many other races Wolves only breed among themselves. He was trained as a Cub to be a detector like his farther, though his mother was sighter so he got his keen eyesight from her. It was rare for people (If we can call ourselves that) other then insects to be Detectors but the elders thought it best to keep around an Elite Group of Wolves because of their many other abilites as well as the keen smell, eyesight etc.

[b]Occupation:[/b] Detector

[Kesaki_Inedia]

Name: Namaki Fox

Age: 15

Race: Fox

Special Abilities: Cleverness, a good sence of hearing and speed.

Weapons: Claws and a stunning beauty.

Bio: Namaki was raised to be a listner. Although she is serious about her job, she is sometimes side tracked by males.

Occupation: See Bio.

Wow. I think this is a kick-... butt idea.
[[color=blue]Edit[/color]: Updated/changed stuff. Too many cats about ;).]

[B]Name:[/B] Crystal Yumiro

[B]Age:[/B] 12

[B]Race:[/B] Eagle

[B]Special Ability/ies:[/B] Keen eyes, foldable wings with which she can fly.

[B]Weapons:[/B] A crossbow, daggers, martial arts training.

[B]Bio:[/B] Crystal has attained the rather boring position of a Guard for the Bird Dwelling, which is nearly pointless since the island is undetectable by humans. It's generally acknowledged that she has enough powers to become a Sighter, but she is still considered a little too young and immature for that, which she resents greatly. Since she feels like her talents are as yet untapped, she spends a great deal of her time in the practice rooms, working on her weaponry skills.

[B]Occupation:[/B] Guard for the Bird Dwelling.

I'm not deciding on who's in or out just yet, right now it's some random info you should probably know.

BTW, all of what we'll be doing occurs 40 years after the First War.

The clones live in a massive underground cave system that is divided into Dwellings, one for each race(i.e. Fox Dwelling) and each major dwelling is different, in accordance to the variety of the races. For example, the Chameleon Dwelling has many tropical plants and trees in it, along with plenty of insects to snack on.

The clones do not live in total darkness. The roofs of the caves contain crystal veins that reflect suunlight down into the caves. Any cave without the crystal in it is lit by torches or glowing vegetation.

The clones are ruled by a Council of Elders. The Elders make [I]all[/I] of the decisions. They have a vast network of messengers at their disposal to gather information and correspond with others in the caves. The messenger service is primarily mouse-clones.

Those clones with extremely powerful senses are usually recruited into one of the Discovery Groups. There are five Discovery Groups: Scenters (wear green vests), Listeners(purple vests), Sighters(red vests), Detectors(gray vests), and Sensers(blue vests). (No, there are no Tasters or Touchers. :p) The first three are self-explanitory (sp). Detectors are usually some sort of insect-clone who are very adept at detecting minute scraps of evidence and interpreting details. Sensers are psychics, basically. They can catch traces of thought/emotion in any given place, possibly able to track the thoughts if necessary. They can also lift objects with their minds, read thoughts and all the other stuff. If you are a Senser, keep the powers limited. And be creative. Moving things and reading minds are not the only things you're capable of doing.

The Owl-Elder is the owl-clone mentioned in the Prologue. He, the Fox-Elder, the Chameleon-Elder, the Rhino-Elder, and the Elephant-Elder are the more influential Elders, their races being the more prominent. The Snake-Elder also has a good amount of authority, despite his lack of clones. The Mouse-Elder also has many, many followers, but is too timid to assert his authority.

The rarer, less prominent races are represented by Youngers, and are to be addressed like the Elders. (i.e. Dog-Younger)

The Elders and Youngers meet in a large Chamber in the Main Clone Dwelling, which may be called the Capital. All sorts of clones live there.

There are other non-earth creatures present in the caves. Cave scorpions are like regular scorpions, but are roughly the size of cars and have thick exoskeletons. They are [I]not[/I] to be taken lightly.

I think that's enough for now, I'll have more on positions later.

Edit: More random info...:D Yay!

The Elders are protected by bobcat-clones. They are small-fast, ninja-like, and very deadly. They can kill a clone or human with no weapons if necessary and are totally devoted to serving the Elders. [I]Nobody[/I] messes with these guys.

[B]All[/B] clones are given combat training as they grow up. Both in armed combat and hand-to-hand. Each clone fights with and develops their own style.

The Bird Dwelling is a large floating continent that orbits New Earth. It is made undetectable to the humans by some unknown means. The bird-Elders and bird-youngers usually stay here.

Military forces are generally seperated by race. The forces are comanded by Leaders and Sub-Leaders, respectively. All Leaders have a five pointed star somewhere on their body.

Insect-clone soldiers have little disc-like devices that silence their wings when they fly.

The Sense Leader is an emotionless shark-clone with Great White DNA.
The Scent Leader is an elderly dog-clone, I'll post the breed later.
The Sight Leader is a humorless falcon-clone.
The Sound Leader is a teenage bat-clone; he pretty much defines cool.
The Detect Leader is a fragile moth-clone.

There is a set of practice caves for anyone to practice in. There are special rooms where clones can face a solid, simulated opponent. There are ranges for target practice with bows, crossbows, and any other projectile weapons the clones may have.

Name: Rena Iris Shen

Nickname: Ris

Age: 29

Race: Black Panther

Special Ability/ies: Night vision, perfect balance, and savage brutal strength. Also a tad of synthestia, but definetly a gift with hypnosis. Not that she has the patience for such things. It's just there.

Weapons: Claws, teeth, and all four limbs.

Bio: She's part of no organisation, as there is no real chance for her to use her abilities to the fullest. Rather, she trains the younger clones to fight to their strengths and defend their weak spots. You could say Weapons master, but that would be a slight stretch.

Occupation: See Bio.[/COLOR]

[Neoclone-7]

Name: Karokku Dairu

Age: 16

Race: Crocodile

Special Abilities: strength, swimming, underwater vision, good reflexes, mild camoflauge in swampy areas

Weapons: Jaws, tail, fists and judo training

Description: Born to a chameleon and rhino clone, Karokku is a towering entity, even among the largest of clones. Fully twelve feet tall with a four foot shoulder span, he exudes strength. Unfortunately, his brain power doesn't come remotely close to matching his imposing stature. His single-mindedness and loyalty well make up for his lack of intellect, however. While he is a brutal and ruthless warrior, he is very gentle and kind among others and loves children especially.

Bio: Soon after he was born, Karokku showed a natural affinity for protecting people, and soon found his way to the job of a gaurd. He spends most of his time patroling through the unnderground lakes and waterways around the capital, where he remains almost entirely unseen. When he is not on duty, he can be found in practicing his judo and unoficially trying to help the younger clones in their training.

[B]Race:[/B] Chameleon-clone

[B]Special Ability/ies:[/B] Can change skin to match surroundings, can grab things with tongue, can project tongue several feet.

[B]Weapons:[/B] Amorphous metal bracelets. *privilage of being RPG's creator*

[B]Bio:[/B] Has a chameleon-clone mother and bear-clone father. (Another one of the random things, I just haven't posted it. PM me if you really want to know.) After providing a great service to the Elders, the Owl-Elder gave Ben a pair of bracelets that would connect to his thoughts and react as such. At first it was awakward, but Ben evetually got used to them. The bracelets, drawing as they do from Ben's thoughts, stimulate his brain's production of psychic energies.

[B]Occupation:[/B] Senser pretty much in title only. He has the abilities and the rank, but isn't usually called upon to work in missions. He is in a way the "arm" the Elders.

[B]Random Stuff about my character:[/B]

The bracelets he wears feed off of mental energy, so Ben's mind naturally produces more of it to compensate. This arrangement gives Ben tremendous psychic powers, though he seldom has reason to use them.

Heh, truth be told, I adapted the bracelet idea from [I]Witchblade[/I]. :p

[B]Race:[/B] Wolf

[B]Special Ability/ies:[/B] Excellent sight, hearing and smell. Sharp claws and teeth. Also, being a pack animal, he can bond with other wolves very easily, though he finds it difficult to trust other species.

[B]Weapons:[/B] His claws and a rabies infested bite.

[B]Bio:[/B] Xouzin has an unusually keen sense of smell even for a wolf, and was chosen as a scenter. However, being born under two wolves who were both sighters, he also tended to use his sight to help him in missions. He was often sent on long scouting missions growing up, either with a group of other wolves, or with a flying aid. On such long missions, his parents taught himto survive much like a normal wolf would. As such, he is now very adept at stealth and espionage, and has gained quite a good reputation among the elders.

EDIT: I have, with Ben's permission, changed my character. Here is the one I'll be using from now on:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[B]Name:[/B] Xythe [pronounced Scythe]

[B]Age:[/B] 24

[B]Race:[/B] Bat

[B]Special Ability/ies:[/B] Flight, incredible hearing and smell, teeth and claws, and the ability to "hang" from ceilings. He is not blind, but can only see in black and white, like most bats. His sight is much better at night, but never the less, he uses his sonar to navigate most of the time.

[B]Weapons:[/B] Claws and teeth.

[B]Bio:[/B] Xythe was born to be a listener, like most bats are. He was, however, quite rebelious in his youth. Bats are the only mammals capable of flight, and as such he gained quite a feel of freedom when he was allowed to soar in the open air. He would often go off for days at a time on his own, simply enjoying the land from a bird's perspective. During these trips he learned to hunt for himself; the Vampyre bat inside him giving him an instant lust for blood. However, he matured, and has earned the elders respect for his fighting prowess and the ability to command battles from the air.

Xythe is quite tall for a bat clone, he is roughly 6'6" tall. He is well built, and had 10 fingers on each hand. 5 are his usual fingers, and the other five are longer than his legs, as they are the bones in his wings (this is what most bats' fingers do). He has 3 hooped earrings in his left ear, and has a large chunk taken out of the corner of his right ear, the result of numerous battles. He also has an "X" shaped scar on his left cheek.

I'll try this...I do hope none mind..

Name: Eclestios Dominicos
Age: 22
Gender: Undetermined; believed to be hermaphroditic
Race: Scorpion
Weapons: Pedipalps, telson; clawed legs and lower arms.
Special Abilities: Emits a hormone that throws off an enemy's balance and hearing (this makes hime prominent to the sense of smell); becomes deathly attached to whomever he protects; has frightening agility and strength; is one of the more intelligent Centurions. Enhanced protection to ballistic and melee attacks. High tolerance to heat. May scale walls and ceilings
Biography: ((I was retyping this when booted. O.o So, I'm going to make this one short and sweet.))

During the first decade of the Second War, the Clones established, without a doubt, that they needed a creature that could stand up against human weaponry and continue fighting. Though the Elephant and Rhino clones existed, they didn't have a natural 'armor' that could repel ballistic and explosive attacks. Thus, the Clones began the laboring work of searching through DNA types for something that could survive such weaponry and continue fighting at an optimal level of combat effeciency.

None of the creatures transported from Earth were suitable. Each of them fell short of the required standards for the desired 'bio-tanks'. Hundreds of tests subjects died, just in the attempts to increase their muscle mass and bone structure. Priceless resources disappeared through the disappointing failure. The need for this new Clone was growing more desperate. Though the Clones survived, it was known that the humans' superior numbers had a hold on them. If there wasn't some breakthrough, the Elders conceded, the project would be cancelled and all resources would be directed to the war.

Then, in a rather cliche manner, one of the few scientists of the Clone masses had a breakthrough. On his way to one of the outer cave dwellings, his party was attacked by an enormous cave scorpion. It made his Rhino comrades seem puny with it's strength and durability. He noted the resistance to any archer's attacks or the melee attacks of any insane enough to get close to it.

After he arrived back in his labs (and he barely made it) this scientist, one of the more intelligent of the Hawk Clones, began cross checking for Scorpion DNA on this planet. The giant scorpions, the emperor scorpion, and a database of about a dozen other types came up. After years of testing and collecting the data, this 'man' and his team of the most brilliant military minds the Clones possessed, set up multiple incubators to house their slow growing children.

After seventeen years, the first of these 'Centurions' were born. There were only about two dozen of them; but, they quickly carved a holding in the military. After fifteen of the major battles of our time, they had only had three casualties. The mixture of scorpion DNA that created their blood gave them enlarged and much more potent venom glands; a telson sharp enough to puncture vehicle armor and inject gallons of poision; enlarged pedipalps with the crushing strength of mythical beasts. Their agility was surprising; their speed, though slow compared to many, was frightening for their size. Exoskelotons that could bounce bullets away and withstand temperatures that would melt steel. Their enhanced abilities left them with few weaknesses. Soon, they distinguished themselves as loyal, if not subtle, servants and guardians.

Eclestios, especially. He was one of the smaller Centurions, only reaching nine feet tall and twelve feet long, his black 'skin' is marked by scars and tattoos that set him apart from his cousins. He is an effecient warrior and has rarely failed a mission. Currently, as the Younger he was protecting has died, he has no occupation and is looking for 'work'.

[b]Name:[/b] Alaris 'Ax' Tyrone

[b]Age:[/b] 16

[b]Race:[/b] Pangolin-clone (scaled anteater)

[b]Special Ability/ies:[/b] Hard armoured shell for strong defense, long prehensile tail which enables him to climb well (as pangolins can). He can jump very high into the air, as well (some pangolins can jump about two metres into the air. Scaling it up to a hybrid clone could make it pretty high, but nothing over four, methinks)

[b]Weapons:[/b] A very large, double-handed sword called a [URL=http://www.lancasters-armry.demon.co.uk/images/flambard.jpg]Flambard[/URL], and that's it. He can use his tail as on offensive weapon if he wants to, however, and rolling into a ball enables him to crash into people, but he'll only use these as a last resort, as his altered body shape makes it more difficult for him to do this than regular pangolins.

[b]Bio:[/b] Born and living in a particularly large cave on the outskirts of the clone's underground world, Ax is the sole survivor of his tribe who were wiped out by a viral infection some years ago. Not embittered by this, his primary goal in life is to bring the clones to the surface so he can look for others of his species. More than anything, he wants to find a mate.

This notwithstanding, he is very well-versed in armed combat, and is a well-respected warrior amongst those he lives with (since his tribe doesn't exist any more he takes shelter with a family of armadillo clones), and is often told that he should be recommended for a promotion to a senior position, something he always politely declines.

His nickname 'Ax' came as a matter of course- he couldn't pronounce his full name when he was young.

I hope that's okay ^_^ Sorry it's a little late

[Ben]

Solo, you're in. Would you rather be the Leader of the Armadillo-clone military, or just a soldier of it?

[Solo Tremaine]

Whee, thank you Ben ^_^

I wouldn't mind at all if he were the Leader, although strictly speaking he's not an armadillo- he's a pangolin. It's only a mild technicality, though, hehe.
