War Dogs -- WW2 Era RP

[Mai]

There was once a man who dreamt of a perfect empire. He craved it so much that he rallied his people and immediately started on his conquest to his imaginary flawless world. In his wake, he left hatred, fear, terror.

And agony.

It all hung on the air like a bad stench to the point where even humans, who could not normally feel such things, could practically taste it. He broke lives and families and left trails of tears and blood. And there were none who saw these horrors he wrought on his own kind more than those of the odd legendary creatures what roamed the world in secret. They saw it and, as disgusting as it was and still is, most of them fed on the dead for one reason or another.

Most of these creatures were near to complete extinction, their races hanging on by barely a thread and housing only a couple hundred individuals at a time. Still, there were others who took one side or the other in the ensuing wars or simply chose to stay completely out of it.

However, not even these who try to avoid all can truly miss it completely. Many were captured by one side or another and forced into service for their captors' benefit. Covens, packs, and weyrs normally did not try to go after those captured, figuring those missing as already dead to them and mourning their loss before continuing on. Very rarely did one find a group that actually tried to carry out a rescue attempt and normally, in the end, they were killed trying as an example to those held captive.

Despite this and even more rare were the attempts that were actually successful, entire camps of soldiers found brutally murdered and the prize missing. All that was said on moments such as these was 'they seemed to come out of the night itself', no matter which side of the war you asked.

Hence under the main war, smaller ones were waged and won or lost, as is the way of warfare. Which side would you take and, in the bigger picture, would you survive?

So this was an old RP that was started with me and a friend. Sadly, said friend disappeared and the RP was never continued passed the beginning stages. Hence, I am here to restart it and see where it all goes! We are going to need several classes of characters, mind.

-- Mortal humans are definitely a MUST! I know that the paranormal aspect of this idea is what snares people initially, but if I could get even a small group of NPCs per player for mortals (as many as you like, even if it's only one), that would be great. If you can't do NPCs, lemme know and we'll think something up.
-- Werwolves are one of the races in question. There are multiple 'breeds' of 'wolves in the world, all of them are welcome. It gives the world of 'wolves more diversity. Some of them are the media-stereotypical anthro skinwalker types with the typical weakness, others are merely large feral wolves with choice weaknesses, still others are closer to fae-creatures. The only thing I would like to see with this race is that there are two distinct forms; human and wolf. Otherwise, have at you. Also, list which variation of wolf you are using in the character(s)'s bio and give a short list of strengths and weaknesses, just for reference.
-- Vampires are another like werwolves; there are many different 'breeds' of vampire that can be used. Same as the 'wolves, list strengths and weaknesses so we know.
-- Demons/demonoids are creatures that are said to be born of Hell's fires. Most are considered evil and their actions simply bring truth to these words. However, there are a few who are good and try to rend the fabric of stereotypes with their actions. Whichever alignment is up to the player.
-- Dragons are probably the rarest of all creatures. While they are still alive, they are few and very reclusive because of this. Hence, dragons are on a limit. I will let you know when these are filled up.

--All sorts of other creatures are allowed in this! If you have a critter that you'd like to play, gimme the specs! We'll make it work, I promise.

So now. Here are a few small details I need to stress. Don't worry; this won't take long.

1. I do not tolerate netspeak. 'R', 'U', '2', 'B', etc. are NOT words. They are letters, used to make up a word, use them as such. Things like BRB, LOL, LMAO, etc. are to be used in OOC only; please use them only there unless you are adding to the end of a post. If this is the case for some reason, it should be in brackets -(){}[]- and other such ilk.

2. I would appreciate it if you checked up on your spelling and used both decent grammar and punctuation. I'll admit to have dyslexia myself and suffer from the occasional keyboard-being-a-nitpicker, therefore I have issues from time to time with spelling and flipping numbers and letters around backward and forward. But I do not like it when people completely slaughter the English language to the point where I think it's actually Italian or something along those lines. So please. Make your posts and the like readable.

3. No God-modding. I see this, you are out of here.

4. I am extremely friendly as a person. So don't be afraid to talk to me off-game.

5. Three line, action and dialogue, MINIMUM. I am a para-RPer. I would appreciate at least semi-para.

6. Respect, OOC vs IC, and the Consent Rule -- I've had issues with these ones before. Respect your fellow players. Please. I CANNOT stress this enough. I see player bashing, there will be nastiness. This also goes along with OOC vs IC. What a character does ICly is to REMAIN ICly. Do not start ripping apart a player OOC for something done IC. Also an issue I've had in other games is with consent. The character yours is interacting with is not your own. If you want to do something with your RP partner, that's fine, so long as both parties consent to things being done.
