Ok, let me try. This will be based on my "Tearstone Tales" series. You can choose your species.

Squirrel: Has a natural skill at climbing anything from a tree to a stone wall. And they have a bonus for hiding in trees.

Mouse: Their chief trait is stealth. You recieve a bonus to hiding in long grass.

Otter, river: They can swim any stream and are experts at boat building.

Otter, Sea: Can swim anywhere there's salt water. They feel confined in streams, though.

Cat: Has a high stealth rate. They can see in darkness, but not total. Expert hunters.

Story: You're marooned on Pearl Isle, a small place with few natural preadators. The locals welocme you, and you feel right at home. But a dire threat hangs over the island, in the form of a pirate crew.

Play on either side, but take advantage of your attributes. Good luck!

Here's my character. I'll use a profile I already created.

Name: Chance
Gender: Male
Bio: He and his sister, Hope, appear in "Healer's Mark." Chance is a dedicated fighter, learning the ways of the sword. He has some of the best teachers. He tends to be reckless, a foil to Hope's careful thoughts.


Another thing: if you want to add a species to the list, go ahead. I try to keep with North American critters, but others are ok. Just don't try a monitor lizard Smile

This looks really interesting and i can't wait to join...just one thing. Can you be...say...a predator or something like that. Like a bear, wolf, snake, that sorta thing? If not, thats perfectly fine. Just curious.

I think being an eagle kind of unbalances the game. You know, they're so much larger than others.

Well, you could, but let's say you have a disability (injured wing, poor sight, that kind) or maybe you could start a chapter for Raptors? (Hey, I love that rhyme.)

Anyways, I'll post the first entry and everyone else can chime in.

"Chance, get up!" I turned away. What did she want?

"I said get up!" She yanked the sheet from over me.

"Come on, it's almost dawn."

"Yes, and it's time for the festival! Hurry!" She tossed my tunic in my face. It was my best one: red with a gold border.

"I'm up! Give me a minute, Hope."

I hurridly dressed and buckled on my sword out of habit. "Wait, I should leave this behind." I made to take it off.

"Will you come on! It's about to start, and we have to go across the island!"

I sighed. Hope just wouldn't be put down. So I stepped out of my room, sword and all.

We took to the forest, skimming above the nighttime world. I took my bearings, paused and looked at my sister. "I smell something not right."

"What?" she whispered.

"I think it's blood, but I can't tell whose. Let's go down, carefully."

We did. As we drew closer, I recognized the scent: otter blood. What was an otter doing here?

"Talan, is that you?"

"It's Mara! Come quick, Chance!"

I vaulted to the ground. "Mara, what are you doing here?"

"I came to find you. But I got lost, then stepped on a thorn." She displayed her pad. "See, it's deep. I can't get it out."

With I small tug, I tested the thorn. "This is going to be painful." And with tooth and claw I dug at it. "There! Hope, would you..."

"Chance, help! There's a mad cat. I can-ugh!"

"Hope! Hang on!" I lauched myself into the fray. "A Pearl!" I howled above the screams.

Onyx

I padded through the forest and spotted some movement in a tree. Smiling to myself, I leapt and dug my claws into the bark and began to climb. I got close enough to see the individual feathers of the bird's wings and then I could make out their marking and then... it flew away. I hissed after the creature and then padded back to the floor. For a moment I was rather disapointed but then I spotted a mouse and began to chase after it.

If this isnt allowed, i'll change it.

Name: Mono
Age: 4
Species: Wolf
Gender: Female
Appearance: A white she wolf with gray tipped ears. Slender and sleek with dark blue eyes that are almost black.
Personality: She is charming, persuasive, secretive, witty, mischievous, and sly. She loses her temper occasionally, but not usually. If you mess with her, prepare to be bitten. She's actually quite nice once you get to know her, and is very trustworthy. She seems mean and distanced at first. She will not eat friends! XD
Bio: She was born in a litter of six other pups. Only three survived, including herself. When she turned three, she went off on her own and never looked back. Occasionally she'll run into another family member, but she usually steers clear. She fights with her teeth, claws, daggers, and occasionally she will be seen wielding a short sword. She will befriend some of the other creatures on the island, but normally she will keep to herself.

Like i said, if this isnt allowed, i will change it!

*She is a very small eagle, she didn't grow much I guess, but she still looks like a normal eagle.*

Great job, all! The wolf is allowed. Same for the eagle. Keep the chapters coming. And here's another little twist.

There is a colony of weasels on Broken Arrow Point. They may interfere, but you can play one if you want. Keep in mind, though, they're primative. They may switch sides, except PCs .

Now, back to the story, fellow creatures!

Senna flew quickly over the trees looking for a sign of anything living. She wasn’t hungry, just bored. She saw a wolf so she flew down low to watch it, staying far enough away to keep from getting eaten.

*sorry tis short*

"Oh, hang it, Raura!" I practically screamed. "Did you have to?"

"She bumped me! I'm sorry, but she panicked, then fainted."

I began gathering herbs: mint to revive, some berries to keep her quiet, and of course a few linen strips, just in case.

"C'mon, Sis, get up!" I waved the mint in her face.

"Chance, whoever did it, kill her."

With a grin, I replied, "Appologize to Raura."

"You!" she burst out. "I thought you were mad!"

"I did rather look the part, didn't I ?"

"You horrible feline!"

Althea swam swiftly through the river, following the music. She was going to watch the festival with the rest of her family, she was just checking out a good route to get there. There were going to be tons of festivities there, but she mostly loved the music. Oh, and the dance. The dancing was always lovely and she would watch them from the start in the early afternoon, till their end, way into the night.

She slowed down when she finally thought that she had come upon river mouth. She lifted her head out of the water and saw that she had found just what she was looking for. Now, she had to go back to the rest of her family and show them the route to the festival.
