I just seen an Aniorphs RP that did an alternate universe type deal. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in starting a new one, or if the people who started that one are still around wanted to restart it. I think this would be a lot of fun if we managed to either do it that way or make it a crossover of some sorts.
-
I would enjoy that! I was thinking about the same thing. if not enough people come we can always do a 1x1.
-
Ok
-
What is going to be the synopsis of the Role Play? Will we us OCs?
-
OCs?
-
Original Characters, characters we made ourselves. Don't worry I don't understand acronyms that much.
-
Oh ok, I think that since this is an alternate universe we should do the originals, what about you and since your the first one to reply do you wanna be a RP mod on this?
-
I am not the best RP mod ever... However, if you don't want to I will be mod. What role do you want to play?
-
If its ok I will take the lead character if not you can
-
Great! Are you going to post info on your character?

Name: Connor NightHawk
Age:24
Race: Human with morph abilities
Description: Connor is 6'0 and about 210 lbs. He has dark brown hair with streaks of Blond from being out in the sun a lot, that he usually keeps tied back with a piece of leather. His eyes are grey and seem to see things about people or at the very least make them think he can. He wears a black leather vest with a hood, usually with no shirt under it. For pants he wears a pair of black cargo pants that he usually wears tucked into a pair of steel toed combat boots. He has tanned skin and defined muscles from all his time outside(see bio). His most distinguishing marks are his two full sleeves of tattoos, the one on his right arm starts at the shoulder with a few significant military pieces that he got when he served in the Navy, and it begins again his shoulder with conjis(sp) stating the different types of martial arts he studied and what degree he is now.His left arm is a dark depiction of good vs evil that extends from his shoulder to his wrist. He doesn't know why but they return when he demorphs.
Bio: Connor grew up in rural Wisconsin, on a farm with only his father and uncle as his mother had died giving birth to him. He spent his youth and teens until he was 18 working the farm while going to school, the work helped greatly improve his muscles and body tone. At the age of 18 he followed in his father and uncles foot steps and joined the military, the navy to be exact. He worked in intelligence gathering. After 5 years he left to pursue his dream of working with federal law enforcement. It was at this time that me me an Andalite who told him about the war, and gave him the morphing ability. From then out his life changed as it had when he was in the military, the only problem was this time he really didn't have a lot of people that had his back, for all he knew any at all. It took him 6 months just to begging to start this guerrilla war. He didn't know how much of a dent he put into the Yeerks but he hoped it was enough.
Favorite morphs: Wolf and Guerrilla(sp)
sorry my laptop acted up
-
Okay, so it is your GESB character, that's cool! I have a couple questions.
What is Guerrilla(SP)?
Is this a 1x1?
-
It is and Guerrilla(SP) means Guerrilla (sp) means spelling and Untill we get others I guess we can do that
-
Oh, Gorilla, That is what I thought... I will use my usual OC, Drew.

Canceling the plans to propose he left her and went with Conner to start a war against the Yeerks together.
-
Good catch
-
I edited the bio for my character to include Conner. When do you want to start the Role Play?
-
LEts wait till tuesday to see if we get any takers
-
Okay, you make the first post.
-
got it
-
Are you referring to the RP Sakki, Under, Tobias and I are in? The one started by Crossover (now called Balrog)?
-
no by quickesthandsever
-
Oh, okay. With 'Hruun in it? I played a guy who caught a snake?
-
Ya it is, had to go look
-
Okay. Did you want to keep the same format as that RP? Everyone in first person writing in the same style as the books?
-
You know what I like that idea
-
The question, really, is what you're comfortable with. If you're not comfortable with first person, it's better to avoid it.
Also, are we going to have any of the canon characters; or is this all our story?
-
Honestly I am more comfortable with 1st person, but I really dont know how everyone would feel about it. I think that we should do it in first person but what do you two think? As for the cannon characters, I think we should avoid them as much as possible, but if you want ot make your own "Jake" or whomever then please do.
-
I prefer 1st person myself, as an character actor it's easier for me. Where would we start in this RP, how long before or after they got the morphing power?
-
Lets start about 1 year after they got their abilities
-
Okay, so everything will make sense in this. Well the RP starts tomorrow...
-
yup
-
Is Visser 3 the antagonist of this RP?
-
Oooo I didnt think of that, lets make him Visser 2 and lets not have our Andalite give him the Andalite body
-
So he would know we are humans?
-
That Ill leave up to you as mod
-
I say he doesn't.
-
Got it, do you want to play him/her as well
-
Nah, She will be controlled.
-
ok
-
Any more basics we didn't discuss?
-
nope well besides a name
-
Visser 3 isn't Elfangor. He killed and ate Elfangor. Visser 3's host's name is War Prince Alloran.
Did we get our abilities at the construction site? Are we going to get, or have we already gotten, an Andalite ally like Ax? Are the Chee here? How do we have access to animals?
-
I know that darth, the visser 3 thing, as for the rest lets make it that we already have them since we posted our favorite moprhs and we got them coming back from the bar one night in a field I think we posted. As for us getting an "Ax" I want to but we would need someone to play him
-
So, other humans don't know about the aliens. Okay, and how would you start it? You don't need to answer that question if you don't want to.
-
I was going to ask you two for input, I have ideas but a portion of them call for NPCs to be plausible
-
What is your idea Crunge? Also, Revan are you going to play? Who is your character?
-
That the NPC is a relative or coworker of one of us that works at the zoo and lets us know that someone has been asking about people getting to close to the animals or new employees there that spend too much time with the animals. We would then go from there to investigate the person asking the questions. ideas?
-
I don't mind running multiple characters.
I'll post my character when I get home. It'll probably be my character from our Original Ani RP.
-
Seems legit Crunge. It is Thursday, so feel free to start the role play.
-
You mean Tuesday?
-
Yeah, sorry I always type Thursday when I am thinking Tuesday. Are you going to post your Character Profile?
-
I have to do it when I get home. I fell straight to sleep last night. I didn't have time to do it yesterday. It's the same character from the last RP we were doing. You imported Drew, I'm importing Sean.
-
Not to sound nosy, but when would you get home?
-
Ill wait for Darths character to start it that way we are all on the same line and such
-
Yeah, this is good.
-
About ten minutes ago.
Name & age : Sean Townsend 25
Personality: Sure of himself, abrasive with some, intellectual, Easy going with friends.
Skills: Practiced at the Frolis Maneuver. Naturally stealthy. Oddly accurate with most projectiles. Rapid acquisitions
Likes: Escaping reality in morph, Leading the charge, Acquiring anything alien.
Dislikes: Being without options, Entering a fight without a plan, Dumbass remarks
Relations with other characters: Friends with Andrew and Connor.
Backstory: Met Andrew on Xbox LIVE, realized they were in the same town and became friends. He home schooled himself as his father constantly worked on site. This group is mostly what comprises of his "social circle". He has a few close loyal comrades on LIVE; but few IRL friends. He's only just met Connor the night they all found the Andalite.
Morphs:Black Panther(primary morph), Cooper's Hawk, Ox, Human, Yeerk (acquired the Yeerk after freeing Andrew), Hork-Bajir (acquired immediately after a won battle), Taxxon(acquired after a won battle - rarely used), Flea, Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake, Arctic Wolf, Fly, Praying Mantis, Spider Monkey, Dog, Squirrel, Barmaid (uses her DNA to practise the Frolis Maneuver).
-
Ok Ill start a new one now for the actual RP anything else?
-
Yeah, for Andrew and Sean to have practiced the Frolis Maneuver, they'd have to have learned it from a living Andalite. So, I'll make a character sheet for an Andalite character.
Name & age : Warrior Snopian-Lilifan-Asaerien (Approximately 25 years old in Human understanding of age)
Personality: Certain of himself, abrasive with most, extremely guarded, militaristic, purist.
Skills: Mastered the Frolis Maneuver. Moderate skill with Andalite computers, Abnormally strong (for an Andalite)
Likes: Food, Human "humor", killing Yeerks
Dislikes: Taking orders from Humans, Anything Yeerk related, Human arrogance, unprofessionalism
Relations with other characters: Comrades with Andrew, Connor, and Sean.
Backstory: Rescued by the "Animorph" team while being chased by the Veleek swarm creature. He initially helped them to repay the life debt created in that incidence; but now he's come to respect them all as fellow warriors. He still refuses to see any of them as his "Prince"; and will often bark orders at them as though he now held the distinction. Socially, the group seems decent, and they have often treated him to meals at establishments they call "bars". He's constantly annoyed at his Human comrades for calling him "Snoopy".
Morphs: Various Humans, Hork-Bajir, Kafit bird, King Cobra, Flea, Fly, Arctic Wolf, Golden Eagle, German Shepard, Tabby cat
-
I have no idea what that is, but I also want ot add my aditional morphs, Hork Bajir, Red tailed hawk, Python, possibly Andalite if we can work that in(?)
Edited heres the link for the IC thread http://animorphsforum.com/index.php?topic=9413.0 (http://animorphsforum.com/index.php?topic=9413.0)
-
Snopian wouldn't have let you acquire him willingly. You'd have to come up with either a really good reason why you were able to acquire him. We could say we all acquired the Andalite that gave us this power.
-
Got it and what is that Manuever you two are talking about?
-
How much of the series did you read; and how long ago was it?
The Frolis Manuever is what Ax used to create a Human morph that was a combination of Jake, Marco, Cassie, and Rachel's DNA.
I'll work out Snopian's morphs in a bit.
A couple of questions:
What is your "place"? House, apartment? Is it inside the city? On the outskirts?
Are we in the same city as the original Animorphs?
-
I read all of them years ago, I remember most of it, just didnt remember that part. Now that you mentioned it, I know it though is that sad?
-
Is what sad? That you forgot? Not really, I was just surprised is all.
-
That it was years ago, and how about we have Connor live not to far from the woods so Snopian's can be near kind of like the real animorphs did. I wish I could re read them now, but the links on here dont work anymore :/
-
What'd you do with your copies; or did you get them at a library?
That works; but what does he live in? A trailer, house, under a bridge? What?
-
Donated them all to something my mom was doing, at times I know wish I hadnt. We'll say he lives on a small 3 acre ranch. If that works for everyone. that and the IC is up and I posted something to bring you two in so being when you want to.
-
I know, that's why I asked the question, so I can properly write a response.
The ranch is a good idea by the way.
-
Thanks, I was thinking that way if we need to have your first character get away we can have him crash there same with Unders Character
-
Get away?
-
Since he is a minor whos dad works a lot, thought people might get suspicious.
-
Uh, you may want to re-read the character sheet. I updated it.
-
got it thanks for the update that wouldve been odd had I not seen it
-
Yeah, just a bit.
-
This seems like an intresting rp with the story and plot to be honest after reading the first five pages though not to sure I'd be good for it or not,you know Tobias and all unless I added a new one somehow other then a taur and not sure how an andalite would work.
-
Tobias, you can still jump in, we dont care how you RP or who you play. If you want you can be the arch villian or whatever
-
I don't know, this might be a good time for you to try just RPing a regular character. You've been playing the character Tobias for a long time. It might help you to RP a "normal" adult. Your character can still be shy and socially removed; but you'd need a more creative reason than being turned into a bird to explain it.
It would definitely be good to have another player.
-
Hey, you can always try.
-
Tobias, you can still jump in, we dont care how you RP or who you play. If you want you can be the arch villian or whatever
Wouldn't mind that. I've always been a "good guy" in forum rps because it feels right but when it's private or that I can be a good bad guy. Not sure I'd be a good Visser Three or two.

In that case I agree with you. Currently I'm not in any rps as Tobias(I am but they've all come to a stop) so playing something "normal" is fine with me. Just up to you guys if I could be the visser or not and if not it will take me alittle bit to come up with something.
-
Take your time. It's up to you who you want to be. We're just trying to make this a complete original RP, so canon characters are being avoided.
-
The role play might be better if the Visser is played by someone, but that would probably be boring for you. So I agree with Revan it is up to you.
-
Ill third that its up to you
-
Well after all day of thinking I think I could play an orginial Andalite that could take the place of Ax in this rp. Never rped one so the reactions with the taste and that would be new and fun to try out and the name I'd have to come up with.
Everyone ok with that?
-
Darth is more or less doing that already
-
You can ask Darth if you can play Snopian, this RP's Ax.
-
Do you think you can play an uptight purist who's kind of conflicted with being a refugee surrounded by Human morphers? Snopian's been a Human for a while before we found him. He's articulate, doesn't play with his sounds like Ax. He is happy with taste; but not exstaticly obsessed like Ax.
-
I am pretty sure I could try my best to play one though would it have to be Snopian?
-
Yeah, I guess it does. We already have multiple posts of us using his name and that would be a pain to edit. Have you read the IC thread and liked the way Snopian is?
-
Unless you want to just make up a new character. A Human, or you could be a Yeerk in the peace movement and join our group.
-
Those are good ideas. I like those ideas...
-
The Yeerk that is investigating the zoo could be yourself looking for evidence that the "Andalite Bandits" are indeed Human. Since the Visser in charge would never take rumors like that seriously, and you're already expressing your doubts through peaceful protest via the peace movement, you decided to look around animal sources for suspicious Humans.
-
That is for the YPM character right?
-
Yes.
Under please edit your post; and refrain from controlling my characters' actions. Sean wasn't going to the parking lot, and he still isn't.
-
It's edited.
-
Thanks.
-
I put something in my newest post that you might want me to edit out. I am not sure if you think it is a bad idea or not.
-
No, that was fine. What did you thonk was questionable?
-
The Sharing.
-
No, that was really good. This RP is all of ours. We should all be bringing details and plot points and different elements. Great job in taking initiative there.
To clarify, the mechanized voice coming through suggests he's speaking through a computer program. He built an interface that allows him to thought-speak to his phone and it translate it to sound. He had to cannibalize some tech on his ship; but it works quite well.
-
I understood it. My newest post my be confusing, but it is because I am lost right now. Can you explain some of this to me.
-
sorry I disaperared work consumed my life for a few days
-
I am so sorry guys for not replying been a busy day dealing with this hurricane business so been trying to prepare for that and all.
Hmm I wouldn't mind playing Yeerk but what if I suggest that, against all the chances in the universe, that it's host was an Andalite that allows it? I know it'd never happen but just a suggestion and would be a different andalite aside from the normal one.
-
No. Sorry Tobias, but that'd never happen. You'd have to think up an amazing back story to explain it. Even then, meh.
Under, what do you need explaining? I'm happy to, I just don't know what you're confused about?
-
Oh nothing, I was sick yesterday and my headache just made the post confusing.
-
Crunge, I answered my phone.
-
must have missed it
-
I am still a tiny bit confused. Sorry, but it might happen a lot this week, I am feeling kind of sick still and I can't think straight.
-
Ok well I guess that crosses out that idea guess either I play that andalite or the yeerk peaceful guy?*shrugs.*
-
Or you can create a Human of your own design. If you're really hesitant about it, it may be better if you didn't take over Snopian.
You can play the first Hork-Bajir to break free and start the free colony. You could play Connor's cousin, you could be anything you want save the complete implausible.
-
If you don't like those roles we can trade roles too.
-
Heh it seems the only role I'm good at right now is playing Guilmon from Digimon :P
Seriously though I think I'm losing touch with roleplaying not as...myself anymore...I think I'll just be a human I come up with that is kindof like Tobias,loner and hawk morph.
-
Sounds fine to me, but probably not to the other people.
Is that how you are like IRL?
-
It's fine. Just as his name isn't Tobias and he doesn't get stuck as a nothlit "accidentally".
-
Yeah I've been trying to take a few days to slow down and get back into role playing again.
Yes most likely I am in real life,like Tobias and I might use my real name in the rp and maybe have thoughts on being a hawk to escape as well.
-
Sounds good, as I repeat...
-
sorry will be without internet till sunday night. mmoving and school.
-
I'm sorry again guys for all the delays I've been having some personal things going on that is keeping me busy so for now I'm backing out.
