an idea that is based off of an old Rp from a site far far away...
it is set in modern day, mostly in the small town of Red Brook. Red brook is in the US. it's sometime during late spring summer to start off.
long ago (we're talking Gilgamesh times here) there was a war between two groups of people with the power to Transmogrify (the ability to turn into one animal, and have one other power of some sort). The battle was between two different factions of transmogrifiers, those marked by the 'infula ex malum' (insignia of evil) and those without it. Obviously, those without the mark were good, those with it, evil. The wars between them raged on for more than a century, until one day, the unmarked managed to seal away the powerful marked. (at the time there were only a few people with this ability, it depends on how many are made). It became their duty, and the duty of their decendants, to make sure the marked never escaped...
most of the decendents of the original Transmogrifiers do not remember this duty, only a few families have kept the secret. Obviously, those with this power hide them from the world. There are a few decendants of the marked scattered throughout the world as well, but because of the seal, they do not have their powers, or their marks, let alone do most know of them. should the seal be broken, this will change.
your character can turn into one animal (no mithical beasts please, reall animals only), and have one extra power. this power cannot be the ability to learn other's powers permenantly (one power only!), to have 'increased sences' (pick one sence to be increased), or to shoot lazers. No lazers k boys?As for the mithical beasts thing; If you want to make a character who's family is like a vampire, you could say they turn into a bat and have the power that if they drink blood they get a temperary power up. that sort of creativity is ok, just no dragons or unicorns or flying monkeys (unless of course your person turns into a monkey and can fly...)
for the marked you can make one of the originals, or a decendant.
the 'infula ex pravus' is usulally a black tatoo looking mark. it can be different for each person, when you pick a look for the tatoo, please use something tribal. the mark can appear on any transmogrifier(but usually only shows up if the parents had one), and is there at birth.
for the unmarked, you can have decenants. the originals are dead.
***To fill in a few plot holes. the sealed away guys have been watching the world for centuries, so they've picked up on modern fashions so if and when they are released they can appear in those fashions.
and back in BC, transmogrifiers lived as long as modern people do. ;D
so, CP and I worked on this today. we both think that additional RP's is the solution to the excessive posting that is an issue for some people. if you're interested, say so. ;D questions, likewise
