Most think it would be incredible to be something other than you. To become what you want at a whim, to be able to have others see you as something completely different.
But such is not the case, dear reader. To be something that you are not is a truly horrible fate. It is a state of constant turmoil, and it hurts every fiber of your being. You have to learn to become that something while staying yourself.
Welcome to the life of a Shapeshifter. Welcome to Hell.

Hey guys, this is a small group Semi-Lit/lLit Shapeshifter RP. In this world, well, it isn't easy being a Shapeshifter. They're hunted, sold, tested on, and other things that are too horrible for words. Privacy? Yeah, not an option with Shapeshifters. Most say they barely escaped with the shirt off their back. Well, most Shapeshifters don't get that in captivity.
They're treated like animals. They sleep, breathe, and eat in a cage. Every day they're let out into a twisted sort of "zoo", where people can poke and prod them and make fun of them. There is almost no way out, and if you get caught escaping, your life is over. Not in the way that whiny teenagers say "Ugh, my life is OVER!" When they can't go to the movies or something. No, you're a dead (wo)man. They are considered martyrs among the shapeshifters, and every day they seethe over the lost lives.
However, that does not mean that no one has ever escaped. There have been a few who saw three goals ahead of them. They pursued those goals, believed in themselves, and escaped from the horrors of their lives.
Flee, Run, and Survive. These are your goals. This is all you've ever wanted.
And if you want to live, there is only one thing to do with you life.
Escape it.

Okay, so some ground rules c:
~No God-modding or Power-playing
~No mary/gary sues
~Each shapeshifter has a max of three animals it can shift into. This does not include a half human-half animal stage that may accompany some shifts.
~Be Semi Lit or Literate. This means that you will need to post AT LEAST a paragraph each time, five sentences to a paragraph. Preferably more. Try your hardest at correct spelling/grammar, but everyone mixes up a then and than occasionally.
~At most, there will only be 4-5 people rping. This is to make sure that no one gets left behind.
~If you do not post within 4 days, we will go on without you.
~Be kind and courteous to others.
~Violence and romance are DEFINITELY necessary, but keep it PG13
~Gay/Bi/Lesbian characters are fine, but I'm totally horrible at rping them myself, so please don't expect me to rp one ^^'
~Be kind and courteous to everyone
~All Site Rules apply.
~There is a maximum of two characters for each person. You do not need to have two though, feel free to have just one
~Genders must be kept equal/semi-equal
~Follow my bio unless you wish to add something.
~Have fun <3

Gender~Female

Age~18

Appearance~
http://s1.wallippo.com/thumbs/300x250/anime-girl-with-long-brown-hair-and-brown-eyes-2dc2c20aa49a535ae31f9abc57dca869.jpeg

Personality~Meg is shy and submissive, making her an easy target for the "tests" that people run on Shapeshifters. She tries her hardest to be kind to all of the shapeshifters she meets, because most do not have as high a pain tolerance as she does, and they die quickly. She does have a burning desire to escape, and would do anything to see the world outside. Rp the rest out :P

Shifts~http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R616B3AD-hY/UTD0xdW3BgI/AAAAAAAAEHA/5MQ_ZptNxUA/s400/Tiger.jpg
^A Tiger. No middle stage

^Brown Falcon. A middle stage with human body and bird wings.
http://4packs.webs.com/grey_wolf1.jpg
^Wolf. Middle stage with a human body, wolf claws, fangs, and ears.

History~ She's been abused a lot more than most Shapesifters because they're determined to crack her high pain-tolerance.

Other~She's afraid of needles. She hasn't told anyone yet though, because if the scientists find out, she's going to be seeing a LOT of needles in her future.

Name: Lacee

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Personality: Lacee is very charming and flirty. She can talk her way out of almost anything. She is very mischievous and will rob you blind without you knowing. She seems like just an innocent girl but don't trust her act for even a second. 

Shifts: Red fox (middle stage: ears and tail)
Dove (Middle stage: wings with hands making her look almost like an angel)
Calico (Ears, tail, and claws)

History: She was sold to a circus when she was little because she did not know how to turn into an animal all the way so she could only be in her middle stage. Which people either thought was weird or adorable. The role she played the most was an angel since she pretty much looked like one when she was at the middle stage of her dove form. The ring master was cruel to her, but taught her how to pick pocket so he could make a little more cash. She was finally able to escape when she was in her cage and they were traveling and some one did not fasten it correctly so the door popped open. 

Other: She is free now and likes to steal from humans who have caused her so much harm.

Name~ Acheron Styxx

Gender~ Male

Age~ Eighteen

Appearance~ Acheron has dark green eyes like the colour of weathered jade with veins of gold around his pupils. His hair colour -- as seen below -- is a dark crimson and very long in the back. He has to braid it slightly for it to be manageable. He is rather tall, standing at six foot even, if he is not wearing shoes. With sneakers on, his height increases by about an inch. Acheron is very lean; not overly muscular. But lean. He is also wiry and quick of movement despite his tall fr
ame. Acheron is 155 lbs., but none of it is fat. Although you can't see this in the picture below, Acheron wears pretty comfortable Wrangler jeans that allow a lot of movement. The jeans are a faded blue with worn knees. He also wears black Nike sneakers. Acheron also has certain features that have been changed or added to his appearance. He has feathers in his hair and soft, downy ones on his cheek bones. Scales cover his lower forearms and hands as the nails on his fingers curve out into claws. And his canines are slightly longer and sharper than the average person's.


Personality~ How to describe Acheron's personality... Well, if it could be summed up in a few words, it would be aggressive when the time calls, very protective of anything he cherishes, and extremely silent unless he has something he needs to share with somebody. But that just scratches the surface of Acheron. He is more complex than most people. Probably more complex than anybody he knows that is because he is constantly keeping secrets. Secrets about his past which he refuses to mention, about his family, and about himself. Though, once somebody does break that hard outer shell he has, they will find a very different person beneath. Acheron has a kind heart and an urge to please anybody he is loyal to. But that does not make him a pushover. He is head strong and won't do something he is not comfortable doing.

Shifts~ Red Wolf, Clouded Leopard, Harpy Eagle

History~ Acheron was born under a different name. He was James Pekatris with two loving parents. Well, until he reached his third birthday. He had shape-changed into a red wolf, quite by accident. But his parents were disturbed by this and disgusted that this creature could be their son. So, they arranged to have him “killed” through a freak car accident. Then, he was renamed Acheron Styxx after the Greek rivers of Woe and Hate that dwell in the underworld and was kept in their dark basement; locked inside a small metal cage. They fed him… if a bit infrequently. He was also kept hydrated and was taken out of the cage for the briefest of bathroom breaks or the occasional beating. Eventually, Acheron was left alone somewhere around his fifth birthday. His “parents” stopped feeding him, beating him, giving him water, and taking him out to go to the bathroom. So, basically, Acheron was living in his own filth as he starved. He had known they had another kid since Acheron often heard children’s laughter. When he turned fifteen, Acheron managed to escape from the cage. Ten years of shapeshifting in the metal contraption caused Acheron to become more aware of the animals he could change into. So, he changed into a clouded leopard to slip through the bars and the small window. When he was outside, Acheron shape-shifted into a harpy eagle and flew off. Eventually, he was captured and put in with the other shapeshifters.

Other~ Nope.
