In fact, here is the newly installed Gyrphon's Egg DT : topic89569.html for all your questions, queries, and any and all discussion.
Below you will find all the general layouts and necessary descriptions, as well as a few rules and regulations. Of course there won't be too many of these. I plan to make this as open to creativity as is within reason. In other words just relax and go with the flow
)STORY:
Spoiler! :
Our story takes place in a cold and cruel world ruled by a ruthless and half-mad king. He dictates with out thought, tossing his kingdom into horrific wars at mere whimsy, stealing from and murdering his own people, creating chaos just for the sake of it, and throwing any who defy him to his beloved pet, The Wildercat, a devilish and ferocious beast that is just as mad and ruthless as its master.
Our hero is a young girl, the daughter of the rightful king who had been murdered years before by the current ruler. She has been raised among the Katchy, her mothers people, a race of primitive humans native to the planet. For awhile she was quite happy to live among her fearsome yet carefree people, living beneath the protective branches of her beloved Udairnil forest and as far away from the mad king as she could possibly be. But when the crazed king learns of her very existence he comes after her with all he's got, tricking his people into believing that the Katchy were their enemies(not a very hard thing to do actually) . He releases his Wildercat and sends his army in full force, destroying her beloved home and scattering her brave and powerful people with the shear madness of his attack. She escapes, barely, with only the clothes on her back and her own little pet gryphon, Aoife. With the wildercat still on her trail and gryphon in hand, she does something she never thought she'd have to do, leave Udairnil forest and somehow, someway put everything right...

WORLD HISTORY:
Spoiler! :
The layout for our story is the cold and lonely planet of Glyss a tiny little world on the very outskirts of the inhabited universe. At one point it was an active trade station, the last stop for adventurers seeking to make there names among the stars. It was full of life and was for a time a rich community but for unknown reasons the rush of new space explorers trickled out, soon no one visited the planet and all those that left never returned. The old space stations were left to rust over, the rails and ports allowed to disappear beneath a layer of rust and plant life. The existing technology on the planet deteriorated to dust and all records of the planets early history soon faded from all but memory. After a period of 400 years the planet slowly reverted to an early earth medieval state, a condition in no way discouraged by their half insane king
WORLD DESCRIPTION:
Spoiler! :
The planet is relatively small and with the exception of an expansive main land and the many hundreds of islands that dot its surface it is mostly ocean. Human life is only sustainable at the planets equatorial belt where the savagely cold weather that dominates the entire world is periodically interrupted with very warm and beautiful(yet short) springs and summers. 300 miles north or south and a lone human would freeze to death in a matter of hours. The area in which our story takes place is the southward side of the mainland, near the sea and at the very center of the equator. There are two main forests in this area, Udairnil, which is a warm and growing Deciduous forest. The other is Wildernoir, an ancient and black forest home to monstrous beast's of mythical proportions...like the Wildercat for example...Beyond Wildernoir are the Wilder mountains which border the glass dessert, a barren landscape of ice and sand...Between these two forests is a large open grassland where most of our story takes place and at the coast is the Jade beach. To the north of Udairnil, before Wildernoir, there is a wide open expanse is hills called the whoroo hills, home to the Whoroo, kangaroo like natives of the planet
PLANET NATIVES:
Spoiler! :
There are two main species of native peoples on the planet of Glyss. They are the Katchy, Amber's people, and the Whoroo, whorooroo's people.
KATCHY:
The Katchy are very much like primitive humans, they have very powerfully built bodies and prominent canines. The men have manes, much like lions, that extend across their shoulders, down their backs and across their chests, but they do not have beard's like human men. The woman also have manes but they are smaller and less conspicuous. The Katchy have a complex relationship with the Gryphons of that planet, small cat-hawk creatures that they train to hunt for them. Even from a young age Katchy children are taught the art of training these creatures. It is a right of passage for a Katchy child to catch their own Griphon and raise it up them selves. If their Gryphon dies or flies away they are forbidden to ever handle one again. The Katchy live out most of their lives in the Udairnil forest, preferring not to get tangled up with Human affairs.
WHOROO:
The Whoroo are large Kangaroo like people with short tawny fur and long legs that they are quite proud of. They have long ears that either hang low or are held high depending on their mood. Their ears always quiver when they lie so in effect they are incapable of lying...or at least lying effectively. They are mostly fishermen and root eaters, preferring to stick to their hill burrows and the banks of the Green River( a river that passes through the entire territory) but they will on occasion venture into the crowded streets of humans cities to either trade, barter, or quite simply to get a chance to speak to humans whom they find quite amusing. Because of this and their inability to lie they have developed a reputation of being loud mouthed tattle tales.

CHARACTER REGULATIONS:
Spoiler! :
There will be about a 13 character limit which will shrink and expand as the story develops(if you want to play more that two characters contact me, I will try to work it out) . If you want to leave at any time please feel free to write your character out, just please try to do it within the flow of the story. For example don't have you character die of starvation in the middle of a feast or spontaneously blow up in the middle of a fight...unless you just have to that is XD
Please, please, please, no god-modding or "perfect" characters, flaws will give your character life and make them easier to relate to, plus it makes a story more interesting. Aside from this, I will try to leave as many of the character options open to your own interpretation and description as possible but there may be one or two stipulations for some of the more major characters. I will note these in the Character list below.
Oh and I thought I might mention, All animal characters may or may not speak based on your preference. If you want them to have dialogue then feel free to give them dialogue, its completely your decision. Make them as interesting as you want them to be, what ever, just try to keep them loyal to the human character they are paired with, that's it ...

No distastefully gory scenes. I don't mean characters cannot get into truly epic battles I just mean keep the descriptions tastefully awesome
Oh, and just out of personal preference, no magic or witchcraft please, I'd rather just keep our characters feet on the ground in that aspect...

And that's about it, if you need anymore info don't be afraid to ask and oh, please ignore any atrocious grammar mistakes I may have made while writing this...I was sorta kinda half asleep -_-
) As he grew this "insanity" developed into something much more evil and psychotic. Ultimately he over throw's the "real king" using the Wildercat (who thinks Malcolm is the real king due to their encounter), but when the attack was over Malcolm finds that the King wasn't wearing the pendant that ultimately he would need in order to have any true control over the Wildercat. He fashions a fake which he still wears to this day, though he knows that should the real one ever be brought to light the wildercat would immediately realize the truth, so he naturally fears the day when it is found(though only him and the Wildercat realize the pendants true power).
