*rated red for some violence, gore, cursing*
PLOT
Humans used to rule the world. They were the indisputable leader of every creature, superior to all. Shapeshifters were few and far between, only about 1 shifter for every 1 million humans. Shifters were shamed, forced to hide their abilities. Many were tested on, killed in massive quantities, kept as slaves, and cast out from the rest of society. Hiding as an animal in the wild was no hope: all shapeshifters have telltale bright blue tongues and silver blood in both of their forms. However, some of the strongest (or luckiest) shifters managed to escape and established their own tribes in the wild, far from human contact.
2 years ago, a deadly plague swept through the world. With seemingly no cure, the plague claimed millions of lives from every corner of the world and infected crops and livestock. No one--and nothing--was safe. Cities everywhere were abandoned as their populations were wiped out. Shifters living with humans fled to their wild brethren, and humans from every continent banded together in massive armies to survive.
It became an all out war between shifters and humans to find fresh water, fresh food, untouched by the plague. Most shifters had experience living on their own as outcasts from the rest of the world, but humans had technology; guns, drones, and other trinkets that were kept out of shifters' hands at all cost. This story follows a band of shifters on their fight to survive.

RULES
+Follow all FF rules (obviously)
+Youngest your character can be is 14
+You can have up to 2 characters to start out with. If you are consistently posting good quality writing and I know you can manage more, I'll let you make a third if you want!
+Only shape shifters for now. I might allow human characters later, who knows? (not me lol)
+Keep it diverse: please don't choose the exact same animal someone else has chosen. Feel free to have different species within a genus, though (different kinds of hawks, felids, canids, rodents, whatever). This rule may change if many join. If you're stuck thinking of one, consult google or ask me
+Please try to write at least a small paragraph for each response; this is a moderate-level rp. I expect good grammar and spelling.
+Quality is better than quantity! Try to avoid blocks of dialogue, include your character's thoughts, describe what's around you.
+Please tell me if you'll be absent for more than a few days; I can prepare a recap in advance if you need it
+Don't powerplay, no Mary Sues, etc.
+The rp isn't restricted to this camp! This is simply a base for this group. Feel free to explore if you like, especially if you are a hunter/scout.
+Feel free to curse, but don't overdo it please.
Camp
This is where most shifters sleep. Some prefer to live alone, and will set up camp somewhat removed from the others, but the majority of shifters rest here.
Hunter's Tavern
This is a popular gathering place in the shifter village. Skilled hunters come here to trade their wares, and exhausted shifters visit to complain about their problems and chat with friends.
Clinic
This is an area where sick or injured shifters can recover peacefully. Anyone infected with the plague, however, is completely quarantined for 3 days. If they show no signs of improving, they are exiled from the camp.

My characters:
Name: Damien Eldridge
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Species: Wedge-tailed eagle
Rank: Scout
Appearance: Damien is dark-haired, dark-eyed, and drop-dead gorgeous... or so he thinks. He's average height, with medium-length brown hair that he's always brushing back and running his hands through. He keeps a (pretty wimpy) close-shaven beard, mostly to show off the "badass" scar across his cheek. You'll likely never see him without a flirty smirk on, either. ((uhhhh think Jacob Frye))
Personality: 'Obnoxious' is often a word used to describe Damien. If he's unhappy with a situation, he'll let you know it. He can't seem to just keep his mouth shut sometimes. He's known for being quite a show off as well, putting himself in dangerous situations to flaunt or flirt with someone. He likes being in the lead, and gets irritable when he's expected to follow someone else's orders. When he's serious though, he is admittedly very skilled. In his animal form, he's fierce, fast, and doesn't f*ck around.
History: Damien was born into a clan of shifters who found refuge outside of human civilization. He grew up training to fight and hate humans, so he was pretty much all set when the plague took hold. Well, as much as he could be. His whole life, he'd lived in a big family of his parents, 3 brothers, 2 sisters, and himself, also considering the other shifters in the village his family. For 18 years he trained, honing his scouting skills, surrounded by family and friends. One day, upon returning from a two-week long scouting mission, he discovered his clan's camp had been abandoned. Everyone was gone, tents were torn apart, there was nothing left but trash and the smell of decay. He never found any of his family, dead or alive. A part of him hopes that they're still out there somewhere, fighting on, but he knows it's likely just a fantasy. Since then, he joined this clan, quickly earning himself the title of the most skilled scout in the group.
Weaknesses/Disabilities: Hates not being the best, and isn't great at being secretive.
Family: None known [open to long lost family members in rp!]
Theme song: Back of the Car/Miike Snow (I just want to survive and have fun on the side...)
Other: N/a
Name: Aoife (pronounced ee-fah) Collins
Age: 18
Species: Serval
Rank: Hunter in training
Appearance: See above
Personality: Aoife is desperate to make friends. She's a very gentle and social person, and adores company of any kind. She tries her best to include everyone when she can, making sure everyone is understood and listened to. Fighting makes her anxious though, and she's known for being very easily frightened. She prefers to stay in the shadows, gathering info behind enemy lines rather than fighting head-on. Adult humans scare her a great deal; they're too loud and violent.
History: Before the plague, Aoife was owned by a very rich family of humans. She acted as a maid and nanny in the house, always watching over the two ever-present children; their parents were often gone for days at a time. The shifter developed a soft spot for these kids, even if they pulled on her tail and ears a lot when she was in her animal form. She'd chase them around the yard, play hide-and-seek, or snuggle in the sun on warm days. It was hell when the adults were around, though. She was forced to sleep in a shed in the yard, and kicked out of the house whenever they had visitors because they "didn't want a cat stinking up the house." She wasn't fed properly and often had to fight off sickness on her own, leaving her coat rough and her immune system weak. After the plague took hold, she managed to escape the human city and found the clan she currently resides in. Still wary, she keeps his guard up somewhat, but tries her best to makes new member feel welcome.
Weaknesses/Disabilities: Easily scared, weak fighter, prone to illness
Family: None known
Theme song: Turn Off The Lights/P!ATD (So sick of wasting all my time, how in God's name did I survive?)
