Okay, this storybook is a *bit* similar to my original storybook, Kidnapped. Here's what this one is about:

Plot:

You are from the real world; our world, Earth. In some way, you are very special; either by something that has happened in your past or how you were born, it is your choice.

On Friday, March 13th, you find yourself extremely drowsy; it can either be the right time for you(when you would normally go to bed), or early. As you drift off into the realm of unconsciousness, you think about an animal; any real animal. When you wake up, you are not where you had fallen asleep.

You are in a whole other world, one that you never knew existed. You are out in the open in a glade surrounded by Pine trees; and nine other people. You also realize that you are no longer human: somehow, by some magic, you are now an animal; the one you had fallen asleep thinking of.

You have also been gifted one single power(see below for list). When everyone in the camp is awake, you find a note that reads;

Welcome ladies and gentlemen,

You have been chosen as a test subject for our... experiment. You have probably noticed your lack of opposable thumbs and your furry bodies by now, if not, there's something wrong with you.

Anyways, you cannot stay this way. You have been given a certain length of time to complete the tasks we have laid out for you, or else you will die. And that is permanent; both here and on Earth. Once you have completed our tasks, you will be given back your human form, shuttled back to Earth, and placed in one large cabin where the cops will find you.

Yes, cops. Time has not stopped on Earth, and as of now, you are missing. Not to be seen or heard. Your friends and family will search for you, but will not find you. It is up to you whether they will find you, either dead or alive...


The rest of the note will be posted when the storybook starts.

The Rules:

1) There can be romance, but there will be no kissing or sexual scenes. You are animals, remember.
2) No cursing, please.
3) NO GOD-MODDING. This is more than just character profiles!!!
4) Keep other characters in character
5) Grammar is not a necessity, but it is appreciated.
6) No more than 10 people(including me), please!
7) REMEMBER: you are ANIMALS! Control yourselves as such, and do not describe yourself using magic in any other way than what an animal would.
8) REMEMBER: There will always be certain enemies that can cancel out your power. For example, scouts on the enemy side will be able to see stealth. Also, DO NOT forget that your powers will come with costs; this storybook will be realistic in terms of limitations and strengths, please keep it that way.


The Powers:

As stated above, each person is granted one power. It is not a big power, and you can in no way shape or form take ANYTHING you must fight on your own. Period. This is a group oriented storybook, your powers complete one another.

Now, no one has the same powers. There will be 10 people in the storybook, and there are 10 powers. Here they are:

(stroked out powers mean they are taken)

[s]Fire Elemental: You control the power of flames. You can use them to do your bidding, but you do not possess enough power to control them to a high enough degree of killing someone; only severely burning and other minor fire attacks. You are also an important part of your team: you are the one who makes the fires.[/s]

[s]Air Elemental: You control the power of the wind. You can use it to do your bidding, but you do not posses enough power to control it to a high enough degree of killing someone; only knocking over and strangling for a very short period of time and other minor air attacks. You are an important part of your team: you can smell the scent of unstealthed enemies on the wind.[/s]

[s]Warder: Your power allows you to cast very brief wards on your comrades, that can only protect against minor injuries. You can ward against fatal attacks, but it drains all of your strength and energy. As a Warder, your strength and energy regenerate slower than most.[/s]

[s]Healer: Your power allows you to heal the wounds of your comrades. You can heal large wounds and near fatal blows, but it drains your entire power pool for the lapse of ten hours.[/s]

[s]Beast Master: Your power allows you to call your surrounding furry-friends to you in aid. Your power holds no detrimental effect. You also are the main hunter in your group.[/s]

[s]Earth Elemental: You control the power of the earth. You can use it to do your bidding, but you do not possess enough power to control it to a high enough degree of killing someone; only rooting and entangling with tree branches, blinding with dirt, and other minor earthly attacks. You are an important member(as well as EVERYONE else) to your team: you can locate herbs, spices, berries, and land grown foods.[/s]

[s]Water Elemental: You control the power of the water. You can use it to do your bidding, but you do not possess enough power to control it to a high enough degree of killing someone; only drowning for a small period of time and weakening the earth below their feet, turning it into quick sand, and other minor water attacks. You provide your team with constant supplies of water.[/s]

[s]Stealth Master: Your power allows you to stealth your body only in order to find enemies, find food, and perform stealth attacks. You cannot be heard, seen, or carry a scent to any other but a Stealth Master from the enemy side. Your stealth can only be held for thirty minutes.[/s]

[s]Light Master: You control the power of Light. You can use it to do your bidding, but you do not possess enough power to control it to a high enough degree of killing someone; only blinding and other minor light attacks.[/s]

[s]Darkness Master: You control the power of darkness. You can use it to do your bidding, but you do not possess enough power to control it to a high enough degree of killing someone; only controlling shadows to confuse, and other minor darkness attacks.[/s]

Remember people, it will take all of you to destroy a group of enemies. You cannot solely kill one thing; you need your group to be strong. If you wander from the group, you will die, so stay with the group.

What Are These Enemies?

Finding your human body will not be simple. You will have a lot of things in your path: including a band of evil monsters only there to do you harm and keep you from finding your bodies. They come in different shapes, sizes, and races; from elves to orcs, ogres, and rat people. Their powers are also limited as yours are, so you will not come in contact with different powers. When you progress further in the storybook, you will get stronger, and the enemies will also.

*Seline, I'm guessing you're fire? And Forever, I asked for real animals, but it's okay. I'll let it slide :) *

We will start as soon as we get four more people.

Here's my profile:

Name: Layne Jackor (Juh-Core)

Animal: Ring Tailed Lemur

Power: Warder

Color: See Below

Other Appearance: This is him

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Human History(On Earth): Layne grew up in a small orphanage. He wasn't an orphan, though, his parents just ran the orphanage. Because of this, he grew up without many friends(He was not allowed around the children that lived in the orphanage), and eventually mastered the art of being by himself all the time.

Personality: Layne is very laid back and casual, choosing moreso to not speak than to speak. He is very kind and caring when he does interact, though.

Other: Up for love.

Mkay. Have some free time at the moment.

Name: Kendra Rose

Animal: Black Panther

Power: Darkness

Color: Ummm, black? XD Okay, for real: She's almost pure black with some blue and green highlights in her fur. No gray on her at all.

Appearance (animal): Her

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Other appearance: Dark brown hair, almost black eyes and lightly tanned skin. On the short side at 5'4". Not particularly curvy. Part Native American.

Human History(On Earth): Grew up as an only child, with both her parents working. Instead of doing what everybody else was doing in day-care, she'd go off in a shadowed corner and be alone. Not participating has gotten her sent to the principle more then once. Once she was old enough to stay home alone she did so all the time, not really having any friends to hang out with. Being an A+ student doesn't help her friends cause. She's too "normal looking" for being a geek, but too geeky (in her language and such) to be considered "cool." She writes a lot, to pass the time and give herself a world to live in. She's had a handful of friends in her life, but they've hurt her in one way or another. It's hard for her to trust people for that reason.

Personality: Always a night owl, Kendra hasn't really ever been afraid of the dark. She's by no means goth, but preferes spending time by herself then with others. Her favourite place is at the computer either studying or writing. Once you get past the bubble of aloneness she's made around herself, she's a sweetheart that's fiercely loyal.

Other: Her green eyes did not change when she shifted, they were that colour in the first place. She tends to really dislike large groups. Hrmm, whatever; up for love

Okay guys. We still have three spots left; if you want, you can make one new character. Well, three of you can, if you can handle two characters each. It doesn't look to be filling too quickly, so I won't mind :)
