Ok, on another site, I wanted to make an RP akin to Digimon or Pokemon, or any of those other Japanese 'monster raising' shows. So with the help of some friends (who mainly helpped create the names and some of the creatures, thanks to them greatly), this was born. But sadly, it was not to be on that site but given the nature of this site and the quality of RPs on this site, I felt it'd work better here, so let's begin!

Plot: Long ago, a great danger fell from the sky and threatened the world. It was dubbed Ragnarok, for it was a beast of such awesome power and destructive nature, it alone could bring about the end of the world. As Ragnarok gripped the planet, the humans' fate seemed sealed and the Earth seemed doomed. But the great beasts came to our aid and together, the humans and the beasts stopped this great evil from claiming the human race and brought about Ragnarok's end, killing the nightmarish space monster once and for all. For their service, the humans dubbed signs in the night sky after the beasts and thus is the story of the Zodiac.

This is the legend told on planet Bantrayn, a distent world much like our Earth. On this world, there are great beasts, the Zodiac Beasts. When someone is born, they're given an infant Zodiac Beast, they grow up togather, live togather, and stay togather no matter what. They have Tournaments, challenges to test the people's bond with their beasts and their strength. A group is leaving from Termay on the contient of Rylom. They're journey will not be easy and by its end, the world's fate might just hang on their shoulders.

An evil man plots to bring Ragnarok back to life and use its terrible power to conquer the world. If Ragnarok rises again, it'll be Bantrayn's darkest hour. Can these unspecting heroes advert the return of the cosmic destroyer before its too late?

Information:

Zodiac Beasts: These are legendary creatures that live on Bantrayn, they're highly honored by the people of the planet, and considered best friends and allies. While everyone has at least one, there are also wild ones that will attack if disturbed. You may submit your own, but make sure that they're balanced, it can't be invincible but it must be able to keep up with the others. They can all regenerate wounds rather quickly (after the battle), and each city has hospitals for more severe injuries.

Their overly sensitive nose makes them a rare sight in the polluted Ferdat, due to the sharp odor of air population

Rules:

Everyone starts with a single Zodiac Beast. Anyone on a team can use their Beast for a Tournament. Occasionally, chances to get a second Zodiac Beast will occur though.

You can't win all the time. Everyone loses sometimes.

You must be able to post daily, or at least every two days. I don't want to have to boot anyone but if they're not replying and holding up the RP, I will.

Zodiac Beast battles do occur rather often. It can be more violent than Pokemon due to the Zodiac Beast's healing factor, but no extremely severe injuries such as maiming, ripping someone's limbs off, or outright killing them. However, due to the villain's nature, his beast may cause more severe injuries that require a Zodiac Beast to be hospitalized.

Be respectful to other people

While they need no bios, Zodiac Beasts count as characters.

No god mod or power play.

Please be an established user before you join, this is meant to be semi-advanced, so I'd prefer people that have experience.

Name: Joseph and Joshua “The Clones” Antonimous

Age: 14

Personality: They’re very sarcastic and stubborn. They both love music, and as such, always have a large shell flute on their possession. They care for one another, and rarely trust others. They both have mild ADHD (Josh also has MDS (Mild Depression Syndrome)) which causes them to be hyperactive at inappropriate times,. Because of this, and several other *ahem* contributing factors, outsiders consider them to be insane, often referring them to people who can “help” them.

Appearance:


Joe and Josh stand tall for their age at six foot, and have a pale complexion. They have black, messy hair (though Joshes is approximately an inch longer) and bright, turquoise eyes. They have slightly longer and sharper canine teeth than average, meaning they can make them protrude slightly from their mouths and back again. They each have a thin, four-inch long scar on the side of their face (right for Joe, left for Josh) because they were born Siamese.

They usually wear black, sometimes “mixing-it-up” with blue’s, green’s and pinks (Josh normally dresses more gothic). They’re never seen without a pair of fingerless gloves (style may vary). They each have a silver chain around their neck that have a small, glass vile on it which is said to contain the water from the lake of a Lugia. They wear them for good luck.

Zodiac Beast:

Name: Serpico
Appearance: A large snake. Its black, with an intricate green pattern. Has two tails.
Powers: Can change it’s size. Aerokinesis (as such, levitation).
Behavior: Fierce and reliable. Is very in tuned with its masters thoughts and feelings.
Strengths: Agility. Constriction/bites.
Weaknesses: Does not do well in water. Despite being able to fly, it is afraid of heights.

Name: Teegra
Appearance: A white jungle cat. Has black stripes. Extremely long tail.
Powers: Invisability, Hydrokinesis.
Behavior: Extremely brave and proud. Can lash out in anger if someone insults it or its master.
Strengths: Swimming. Strength.

Cool, they're in, and your beasts are now aviliable to everyone's use.
 
Name:Dent Blackwood
Age:13
Personality:Dent Blackwood is the son of Flame Blackwood the master smith, as such many expect him to excel in the weapon forging arts. Unfortunatley he is rather clumsy and due to his poor hand eye coordination has trouble making even the most simple of weapons, this leads many people to believe he is stupid however that is not the case, Dent is a keen poet with a beautiful singing voice. He enjoys spending time with is zodiac beast and playing chess.
Apperance:He has scruffy brown hair with a soot black stain dividing it in half. His left eye is a serene blue while his right was ripped out at a tender age by an angry hontru.He has a monacle over his eye due to being short sighted. His arms and legs are covered in blisters and bruises from spending to long in the forge and he always wears his signature green overcoat.
Home City:Ferdat
Zodiac Beast:A deformed Pathal who is only as tall as Dent and has luminous pink skin nicknamed Bubblegum.

No offense, but I don't see you online all that much, are you sure you can keep up?
 
Reserve me, I'll try and post the bios later if I can.

We may just have different time zones. Also I have been very busy with homework lately but it's finished now. I promise you I shall try my very hardest to keep up.
 
Ok, I'll give you a chance, but I'm not accepting Mendit, its too underpowered.
 
Would it be alriight if I rebalanced it or is it out for good?i
 
Do you think I have made enough of a difference to balance my creature now or should I simply abandon it.
 
Now its unbalanced the other way, maybe scrap it and start over.
 
Name: Zaar

Age: 24

Personality: Zaar's personality is twofold. Nomrally, he's cold, remorseless, and thinks that everyone, with no exceptions, is inherently underneath him, and treats them as such. He can also commit the most horrible of deeds, and walk away with a smirk and a chuckle. However, either in the heat of battle or when his temper is flared, Zaar grows insane, going on a psychopathic, mass-murdering rampage, howling with laughter as the blood of his foes flow around him. He bloodshed more than anything else, and as such spends most of his time battling with others.

Worships Ragnarok with an extreme passion, and is trying to resurrect it to bring the end of the world, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Appearance: Is as skinny as a twig, with extremely pale skin. Has blood-red eyes, the left of which having a gruesome scar that is covered by his unkempt raven-dark hair. Wears a pitch-black robe, with a matching hood. His eyes tend to glow when he's enraged.

Zodiac Beast: Jastup

Nice, though in truth, his Beast is near identical to Jastup powers wise. Can you check that out and ether take it or change him to make him diffrent?

Also, I was hoping you'd join actuelly. Could Zaar be the main villain? Like the evil being he worships normally be Ragnarok and he's trying to ressurect it for that reason?
 
Ah. I skimmed over those. =P

In that case, I'll take Jatsup. And yes, I'd be glad to fit that role.
 
Ok I apologize for wasting everybodies time I think I will make one final revision before scraping the idea.
