SPIRIT RP!!!!!!!!!
Okay, how should I say this? I'm reading Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series, and I loved the idea of what he calls "Daemons". Daemons are linked to a human from birth. They can shapeshift up until puberty, when they acquire a shape for the rest of their life. They don't need to eat, and they're linked with their humans in such a way that if either one of them is attacked, they feel the other's pain. They can also share thoughts, and there's a rule called the Great Taboo that one cannot touch another's daemon. It's one of the rudest things ever possible, and the doer is very seriously hurt by it. Also, it's quite rare for one's daemon to be the same gender as the human. One last thing: Daemons can only go a fixed distance away from their humans, or vice versa.
I decided to use this in our own RP. I give Mr. Pullman full credit for making this up, and I would like to call them "spirits". Every human has a spirit; to see one without one is like one of us without a head.
Anyway, that's about it. We can have up to three charries. Here's the form for my first charrie (SHE IS ONE OF A KIND):
Name: Marissa
Age: ??????
Gender: Female
Appearance: Silky long black hair that flows over one shoulder and startling green eyes. She's tall, and also has wings and talons. She doesn't need to eat and tires much less quickly than the average human.
Personality: She's very vague, and never tells the whole truth. However, she has a huge heart and cares about everyone she meets.
Sprit name: N/A
Most usual Spirit shape: N/A
Other: This will explain why it's all N/A: She's a spirit herself. A few people were studying Spirits and trying to find out if they could make a human one. A King Of the Jungle (yep, a lion, and a king of his people) volunteered to own this Spirit, and thus Marissa was made. Note: He isn't any normal lion. These lions are giants. Also, Marissa is special; she can go anywhere without being hurt.
Name: Bae Witherpane
Age: 11
Appearance: Short red hair in a bob and deep brown eyes. She's small for her age.
Personality: Quiet and shy, but very smart, and when she says something it's worth listening to.
Spirit name: Krypton
Most usual spirit shape: Fox
Other: She grew up in a woods, alone and orphaned. Krypton took care of her mostly, and she finally decided to explore the world.

1. Oh my goodness you read The Golden Compass too?! Yay!
2. Do you have any plot ideas?
3. I'm joining!
Name: Liisi Callixta
Age: 14
Gender: female
Appearance: Black hair, green eyes. Tallish.
Personality: Responsible, smart. Outgoing. Tries to be caring but sometimes irritable. Obsessive note-taker/journal-keeper.
Spirit name: Alloian
Usual Spirit shape: pigeon (Liisi is older, so her Spirit will become fixed in form very soon)
Other: She works at a post office in one of the more major cities and lives in an apartment next to it.
(June 1, 2015 - 9:58 pm)
1: Yep, I just started The Subtle Knife!
2: I have no ideas! I was hoping we could think of one as a group.
3: Yay!
4: I forgot a few things.
a: Spirits have human intelligence. That means they talk and think like a human.
b: Spirits CAN touch other spirits, just not humans besides the one they're attatched to.
c: It is rare for a spirit to talk to a human besides the one they're linked to.
d: The "Lion Giants" is what Marrissa belongs to, and her... lion's? name is Cray Lockston.
5: TOP!
6: Now Clode's learning his animals! He said "zeba." Very, very close, my CAPTCHA!

Hey admin, The Golden Compass is really Anti-Christian. I don't think they should have this rp on the CB.
I've read it the whole trilogy. I know some people consider it controversial, but please remember that it's fiction. So I think it's OK. I find it no more problematic than, say, zombies, and we've allowed threads about them. No one is compelled to participate.

At first I wasn't sure what this rp was about, then I saw someone say 'Golden Compass' and I was like... OOHHHH. Anyway, here's my character sheet. :)
Name: Oriasa Everson
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: Darkish brown hair and yellow-golden eyes. 5'6 in height. Wears a normal black t-shirt, and black stretchy pants.
Personality: Keeps to herself, but is cunning, clever, sly, sometimes sarcastic, but cares about the friends that she has. If she has any friends. She will talk every quietly, and in a very deathly way. That's when you know that she's able to kill you.
Spirit Name: Cole
Most Usual Spirit Shape: Looks kinda like a demon cat, and has wings. (He looks like a Lycreon from Felisfire (if anybody knows what that is), but he looks like the original art concept of a Lycreon. Full credit of what Cole's supposed to look like goes to FelisFire and the one who drew the original art concept of a Lycreon.)
Other: Lives in the alleys of the city.

Yeah, um... this is different. This trlogy basically says "Christianity is a lie." and "Your God is a tyrant."
That may be one interpretation, but it is fiction/fantasy.

Oh, dear. Yes... I started to read that part after I made this. But this isn't an RP on the series itself, Brook, it's just based on it. I promise, there won't be any religious problems in this RP. I'm sorry if you thought I was suggesting that.
(June 3, 2015 - 4:55 pm)
Okay, thanks for the clarification.

I have not read the Golden Compass, but this rp sounds REALLY cool, so I'll join!
Name: Jackie Black
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: Black hair tied in a bun, tall in height, barefoot. Wears a shirt too big that she ties up to her waist. Long pants.
Personality: Fierce, clever, sarcastic. Hates people and perfers to be alone. Cocky and sassy, and manages to lie out of every situation.
Spirit name: Renn
Most usual spirit shape: Jack Russel Terrier (I really shouldn't have named her Jackie :P)
Other: Uh... I can't think of anything just this moment.

St.Owl, this is really your RP, but just so you know, Danie, the only ideas we're really taking from the book is the idea of daemons, or spirits. The plot, etc. isn't important in this RP.
So, St.Owl, when shall we write?
(June 3, 2015 - 8:47 pm)
Actually, we have enough people! Let's start!
Bae~
"I'm scared, Krypton," I whisper to my spirit.
"Me, too," he replies, nuzzling a little closer into me.
"I've never seen so many of my kind before. Only the girl that lives in the lake, the Imitator. And look at how they are dressed! Such strange skins, and there's a strange stone I've never seen before on them. And they're wearing something on their feet. It must be very constricting. I cannot imagine trapping my feet in something like that.
"And they're staring at us, Krypton, do you see that?"
"Yep."
I look around some more. "And where are their hunting weapons? How are they supposed to feed themselves if they aren't ready to attack when a boar comes by?"
"They must have some other way." Krypton hops out of my arms. "Come on. If we're going to find anything out, we should ask around."
"Oh, no," I whisper, flushing. "Krypton, I don't want to talk to them. They- they're unnatural."
"You could always go back."
"No." I do glance back at my forest, though. "No, Krypton. I have to meet with my own kind. Come on, maybe if we expand our territory we will understand more."
(June 4, 2015 - 8:03 pm)
Top!!! Did this thread die before it even started?! TOOOOOPPPP!!!!
(June 6, 2015 - 11:38 am)
*changes: Liisi doesn't live in a big city, but a small village on the edge of the woods. It's big relatively speaking, though.*
Liisi~
Alloian chitters, hopping up to my shoulder as I walk along my mail route with a messenger bag full of letters over my shoulder. "We have a lot to do today," he comments.
I smile. "Oh, come on. You know you like delivering way more than you like sorting letters back in the post office."
Alloian pecks my ear, but in a nice way, and I keep walking. The village is small, and only the west road, at the edge of the woods, is my route today.
We come to the first house and knock. No one's home, so I tie their three letters and one newspaper up in a bit of twine, write "Post" on it, and leave it on their doormat. Everyone here knows one another: no one will steal letters.
The next house looks dark, and it's set closer to the woods, farther from the road and from the other houses. "Do you think anyone even lives here?" Alloian says, fluttering ahead and perching on one low branch that swings right above the path to the door. "It seems... abandoned, even haunted."
"Stop it, Alloian. We have a job to do." I duck the branch and stomp a path through weeds and tall grass to come to the door.
A tall girl in a long shirt yanks open the door. "What?"
(June 7, 2015 - 1:40 pm)
Bae~
"Coward," Krypton chuckles, sitting in squirrel form beside me. "You could've gone right up and talked to her."
"How do I know she'll even understand me?!" I protest. "Besides, she's doing something weird. She's just as strange as the rest of them."
Krypton rolls his eyes. "Well, why don't you hop off of this tree and talk to her? If you find out what she's doing, maybe she won't seem so weird."
"...Okay." I hop out of the tree and land behind the hut she's heading towards.
Right before I'm going to jump out and ask her name, another person comes out of the hut and starts talking with her. I step out from behind the tree and slowly make my way forwards.
"Hello," I say. "My name's Bae. I-uh-" Words seem to fail me as I look up at this stranger. I'm such an idiot! Idiot! Why'd I go up to her anyway?"
Next to me, Krypton is handling his introductions smoothly, back in fox form. "Hello. My name's Krypton, and that's Bae. Who are you?"
"Alloian," the pigeon spirit replies. "And that's Liisi."
They hit it off immediately, but I'm standing here lost for words.
"I'm Liisi," the girl replies, somewhat agitated at my interruption. "And? Why'd you walk up on me?"
"Oh... I... wanted to ask you some things."
"About what? Need to find a clothing store?"
I look up at her. "What's a store?"
Her eyes widen in surprise. Then she takes a step back. "Wait-you're-you're real?"
"What do you mean?"
"The girl in the woods. The wild one."
"I live in the woods, yeah." I'm highly confused now. "But- but really, what's a store?"
Marissa~
I crouch above the scene taking place below me, and I feel pity for that poor girl. She has no idea what clothes are, and she'll definitely faint when she finds out there are areas where you can just pluck foods off the shelves- and the most shocking thing of all to her will be how humans use paper for extreme value. Poor her.
I take flight and land farther up the tree, up to where the breaking point for my weight is. I sigh as I watch her bluster... will she ever fully understand civilization? Probably not.
I creep farther along the branch, straining my ears to make out what she's saying.
"She's special," said The Lion King. "I need you to watch her for me, Marissa. I don't know why, but I feel there's something that she- and a select few others she meets- will uncover. Something supernatural. Make sure she's safe, and any companions she may run into."
I lean forwards off the branch, barely making out "wild one".
Suddenly, there's a snap, and I feel myself falling. I extend my wings quickly, but there's not enough room for them to navigate- I'm going to fall- I'm going to be discovered....
(June 7, 2015 - 6:24 pm)
I change my mind! Jackie now has a coyote as her spirit. And the coyote is now named Taatsaros.
Jackie~
I blink, taking hold of the situation. I tighten up my shirt and step forward.
"Now, I know you're the one delevering my mail." I snatch the letter up, glaring at the others. "And I know you wild creature would liked to be called Bae. But who are you two?"
I point toward the other person, who seems to be glancing back and forward between me and the others.
"My name," she pauses. "Is Marissa."
"Okay. Now that we've got the settled, may I please escort you AWAY FROM MY HOUSE." I push them away, holding my letter.
"It was nice meeting you!" Bae replies, slightly cheerfully.
(June 7, 2015 - 7:41 pm)
Oriasa -
"You just had to!" I hissed, glaring back at Cole for a moment before continuing on looking ahead so that I didn't crash into something while running.
"I'm sorry, the fish smelled really good!" Cole growled, leaping over a fallen trashcan.
"When we get back home, you're going to be in SO much trouble," I muttered, knowing that he could hear me.
Cole grumbled, his wings flapping once as he jumped over a dumpster.
"In so much trouble, mister."
"STOP REMINDING ME!" he whined, and all I did was laugh and shake my head, the sound of siren wails behind us.
