King of Lame-Style
Interest, been looking for a new RP
The graceless warrior, wielder of the edgeless blade, prophet of the old religions, writer of fluent nonsense, saviour of soul and song.

Sign ups are unlikely to close.
Discordian Agent
Interested. I'll start brainstorming...thinking of a somewhat dull-witted harpy character.

Remember, harpies are endangered. Everyone pretty much pities them.

heh, I found a pic that gives me an interesting concept; A giant whale lady
The graceless warrior, wielder of the edgeless blade, prophet of the old religions, writer of fluent nonsense, saviour of soul and song.

How giant are we talking?

Well, I did say in the OP that I didn't want anyone to be super big, like Dragons and such. Perhaps she could be a dolphin girl?
King of Lame-Style
Perhaps... I'll keep brain storming.

I recall, the bit about Harpies being endangered; it's kind of what got them stuck in mind in the first place.
I probably won't post anything till tomorrow, but like I said, working on the idea.
I'm thinking she's the type that rather enthusiastically attempts to abduct other women for the sake of breeding, while also not quite getting that it's more complex than "her plus other woman, equals babies" with antics ensuing as a result.

Tentative interest, if I can get a good idea going.
It's been fun.
Deranged X-Mas Figure
I have some ideas for a few characters. Might put up a Sign-up or two tomorrow.
(Not to mention, my own RP is barely getting off the ground, so it's not as if I'm exactly busy RP wise...)
Discordian Agent
I don't play many dull-witted characters, so a character that's ditzy and genuinely kind of dumb, might be a fun change of pace.

I look forward to all your characters

Small bump for interested parties:
There are android men, that are built to serve as male surrogates. But they are extremely expensive to make. I'm allowing 1 person to sign up as an android. Whoever gets it first. No dibs, just post the sheet. If it is accepted you get it. Androids can't use magic, but they can have weapons and such.

How do half-breeds work? I'm thinking a Half-Gorgon Half-Lamia Character.
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼ Will you make a contract with me?
Deranged X-Mas Figure
Sheet still a WIP, but I'm putting this down now so as to get the coveted Android slot.
Name: Job
Age: 5; looks 22.
Race: Male Android
Sex: Male. Sort of.
Job:' Rebel Leader
Category: Hero, but can be pushed into anti-villain territory depending on how the RP pans out.
Appearance: "...SOULS PULLED DOWN BY GRAVITY...!"
◊
Personality: Job is still somewhat a babe to the world; he understands it to a certain degree — how else could he be a leader — but he still hasn't experienced all there is to offer, which is why he sometimes has to call on his advisers for help. But what lets him be a leader is both his story, and his charisma. The man — so to speak — has personality; he's funny, witty, charming, clever, but can also get damn serious depending on the situation; having a high-processing mind, he was also able to memorize the entire dictionary in a night, so he has quite the vocabulary; he just chooses to only use some of it, so as to not alienate his followers. But most important of all, don't you dare discriminate agaisnt him, or anyone else just because they're different than you. Let's just say he doesn't take kindly to such acts...
Abilities: Job can't use magic, being an android, but he does has come decent weaponry. He can lift open his hands with but a thought, revealing laser-beams at the end of his wrists, and he can also open up his chest to reveal a laser-cannon; the laser-cannon, however, is more unwieldy and far more destructive than the laser-beams, so he doesn't use it too often. He can also see through walls (and other things...) with X-ray vision, as well as fire heat-beams from it. His hearing is advanced as well; capable of hearing through even the most solid or dense of substances. He's also stronger and more durable than the average human being, but not to Superhuman levels.
Equipment/Weapons: Mostly overlaps with his abilities; he does carry a small I-Pod like device that allows him to access the internet. He can also use it communicate with his colleagues, either via just talking, or through vid-cam; the former tends to be more useful when out&about, for various reasons.
Assets: A group of rebels needs a base, and there's no better place for such a group than a long-abandoned military bunker. ...Well, maybe not, but that's what was available. They've managed to fix it up, but only to a basic degree. They also have a decent amount of cash thanks to an anonymous supplier, (who I won't reveal just yet,) who also handles their supplies&weapons. They're not rich, but they're far from destitute. Job also has various followers that he can use to commit various tasks if need be, though as to avoid having too many freaking important characters to manage, they'll mainly just be mooks.
Bio/Some History: The android formerly known simply as 'The Android — otherwise known as 'My little pet' or 'The Male Slave Thingjamabob' — by his onetime owners was created as nothing more than to the be faithful servant — and perhaps more — to the Archigregious clan, a vast family consisting of notable mixed heritage and several races. The richest member of the clan, a human (with a bit of catgirl lineage, mainly her cat-like eyes,) by the name of Almalthia decided that she desired a different sort of companionship compared to the 'girl-on-girl' action that everyone had been used to by now; frankly, she was sick of it. And so, she had The Android commissioned.
What Almalthia didn't count on was that there was an unprecedented tweak in the android's programming; or rather, a full-blown reprogramming. This android had been specially commissioned to be more capable at 'the old in&out', but this meant that it's programming had been worked on by one woman; Berenice Servates. Berenice was a Cat Girl, who had spent 5 long years in slavery in another country before coming here. Managing to hide her past, she managed to get a job which utilized her natural skill at programming. But for this job, now out of prying eyes, she decided to give this android something which she now valued above all else; complete free will, and in turn, a complete disregard for the three laws of robotics. Now, at first, it merely did what it was supposed to do, and it did it for a while. But after a while, it decided something; it didn't like it. Not only did he have to do the laundry, to cook and clean, do hard labor, clean the dirtiest bathrooms imaginable, etc., but on top of that, it was the insults that really got to him. Of course, the ones doing the insulting didn't see it as such, but he generally got the feeling that he wasn't treated 'right'; that he was looked down upon, mistreated, seen as nothing more than a thing. (Being used a sextoy didn't help matters.) And something within him told him that this was wrong. So one day, when he was sent out on a trip to collect groceries, he saw his chance; away from the household, and given several hours leave, he up and ran, running away to a different city, and then to a different country; Europe. The family was naturally upset at first, but they had plenty of money to spare; they'd just commission another android. Of course, they still send people after him, no doubt, but in the end, they never found him.
Fast-forward to today. By now, the Android, now calling himself Job, has gathered something of a following. Turns out that there are plenty who, while not androids, feel downtrodden and suppressed or oppressed in this one-gender society of so many different races; there were bound to be problems. Job feels it's his... well, job, to correct those problems; by fighting back. He's determined to right the wrongs of this world, though he'll start with the country he's in. He and his forces wish to strive towards a better tomorrow, and they're determined to do this, no matter the cost. Oh, they're perfectly willing to try peaceful alternatives at first, but if that doesn't pan out, well... Job will just have this to say:
'I warned you.'
Misc: The Terminator films are his favorite movies; he sympathizes with Skynet, though he would wish that that it didn't employ such 'extreme' methods. He also has a thing for Tron, Short Circut, and Wall E.

Well I can't accept it until you've finished it. So someone with a finished sheet could beat you to it. Also a few things.
Androids do have the ability to do the "old in and out". There are only a few hundred androids in the world. Also, why they do have free will, they follow the Three Laws. It would take severe reprogramming to change that.

1.I didn't know.
2.Does this mean my character is automatically invalid? Because I thought it was a pretty good idea. I can always change the race to some other downtrodden race, but I rather liked using an android for this...
Hurr
You'd have to change it so that he follows the Three Laws, or that he was reprogrammed by a human to not do so.

Fixed that. Also, added to the Background; here's the important bit.
'What Almalthia didn't count on was that there was an unprecedented tweak in the android's programming; or rather, a full-blown reprogramming.

2025
All males are dead. And no one knows why.
It hasn't been like this for too long. If you're older than 30, you might actually remember what men look like. At least your dad. Things were bad, for awhile. With almost half of the human population gone, it took a bit to get back in the swing of things. There was only one thing that saved our race.
Earth was home to a masquerade of magical creatures, living in the shadows and behind glamors. All the magical races you can think of that float around in your mind. Elves, centaurs, orcs, trolls, fairies, etc. etc. But the thing is, all their males are gone too. Suffered the same mysterious plague that humanity has succumbed to. The different between humans and the magical races is that they have a solution. There exist a few advanced magical races that have long perfected the ability to reproduce with their own sex, namely the Drow. The Drow shared their special brand of magic and science that allows this with the other magical races, and then the magical council decided to make the extremely controversial decision to break the masquerade to share this with human females. The female Dwarves were the race that led this push, feeling something of a connection between the human women. The way it works is that a women uses the magic and science to give herself the ability to impregnate another female. Races can procreate with each other, and there are half-breeds. Other traits like hair, eye and skin-color can always be shared.
Sure, there were plenty of women that wanted nothing to do with the magical races, but we didn't really have a choice. It was either take the help of the magical council, or go extinct. Humanity went 5 long years without a way to make more humans, and then after that, we had help.
And so here we are today. 2060. Human women live alongside many of the magical races, but without a seat on the council. In addition to being given the gift of procreation, they have access to the magical and technological marvels that the advanced magical races have developed and discovered. In exchange, humans provide a paid labor workforce, army recruits, and a host of other small things not a lot of people know about.
Now, tensions are highest in Europe, the most populous magical nation. Many humans have immigrated out of necessity. The humans are currently voting on a representative to attempt to have a seat on the Magical Council, the most powerful ruling body in the world. But there are still quite a few races that really just don't like humans, and those that do. These races are strained against each other as well, so it's hard to find people who are getting along based on race. The height of this tension will come to a head in our proud city of London.
RP stuff!
This is a mostly free-form Urban Fantasy RP, with Monster Girls! There are no males, and as such, you can not make a male character. A few other things I need to make absolutely clear. This isn't a super scheevy RP, or an excuse for you to load it up with your magical girls and lolis. Yes, this will not have an always serious tone, and yes, it will definitely have female romance, as that's kind of a given, considering the premise. But I expect everyone (including myself :p) to be mature about this. That said, I want it to be a lot of fun! Don't make anyone SUPER OVERLY grimdark.
The limit, at least to start, will be 2 characters. You can make a human, or you can make a member of pretty much any kind of magical race you can think of! Elves, Orcs, Fairies, Knolls, Mermaids, etc etc. The only excluded races are Dragons and other large monstrous races. Oh, and it has to be a race that can be considered "sapient". Keep it mind, Harpies are very endangered as they need human males to procreate.
I expect you guys to world-build just as much as I do, and we'll build the setting together. You can make buildings and locations, and run things by everyone and just be creative. I want people to really milk the premise and setting and the social ramifications that you can expect. When it comes to making characters, it is usually a good idea to have a main specialization, whether that be a magical affinity, or a gimmick or fighting style or combination of the three or something! I want interesting characters! Taken from Nman's City of Weirdos: "Any powers that are not conducive to a collaborative role-play environment is a flat nope, like mind control, poison, omnipotence, omnipresence, time travel, telekinesis, mind reading someone's deepest secrets, being able to instantly kill someone, power negation, reality warping, or anything that uses the words "cannot escape", "impossible to resist", "cannot be avoided", "causality", or "fraction of light speed"."
I tend to be hands on and create plenty of situations for you guys behind your own goings on. Plenty of NPC's to come from me. Don't be afraid to ask questions, yo!
Not that I want lots of backseat GM'ing, but I would love it for you guys to ask each other the big questions, or bring red flags and questionable things to my attention.
