Bio:
Once upon a time in a far off land, the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac took part in a gruesome battle. It was the 6 against 6 in a war raging in the border between this dimension and the next. The war went on for several years before a great intervening spirit came between the two sides. Sacrificing his life, the Great Spirit sealed away the spirits of the animals in talisman. These 12 talisman were spread across this dimension and the next. 6 were sent to our dimension and 6 were sent to the dimension that man has never seen. This didn’t stop the wars however. The loyal followers of both armies are still fighting today in the border. Legend has it that when the 6 talisman of this dimension are met with the 6 talisman of the other, peace will spread across both dimensions and all fighting will cease for all eternity.
6 teenagers from different parts of the globe will somehow find a talisman of their chosen chinese zodiac animal. When all the talisman are found, the 6 teens will we warped into the next dimension. This is where their story will begin. Since I don't want to spend too much time on the discovery of the talisman, we will start when we find each other in the next dimension. Each talisman gives the teenagers the power to morph into their animal, and their animal has special powers which should be used for good. The powers of the talisman are up to you, as long as you're not godmoding.

The Next Dimension:
The Next Dimension is very similar to our own. Except for the fact that the planet is ruled by animals, not people. People have not industrialized the world. They are equal to all the animals around the earth. There are even different species of humans. Some of them can fly, some of them are land creatures, and some of them can swim. All the humans wear loinclothes. Other than that, the world is the same, including all the geography and such.

Rules:
--No spamming or anything like that
--Only experienced RPers may take part in thise RP (I know who you are)
--Only 6 people (including myself) can take part in this RP
--If you find your other talisman, it can't be a quick find. Your post has to be at least 3 paragraphs if you find your next talisman.

Topaz felt cold and tired. She slowly opened her eyes to discover that it was almost evening. It was odd, because it was bright daylight when she passed out. I must have been out for a while... she thought to herself. She stood up and noticed that she was standing in a grassy plain. There were a couple of elephants, but they didn't seem to notice her. She wiped her forehead a little, because she was really humid. She looked around and noticed that a couple of other people were lying in the grass as well. She walked over to one of them and sat with her legs crossed. She wondered if he was ever going to wake up. She didn't sit to close to them, because she didn't want to scare them when they woke up.

((Sweetie-san, am I experienced enough?

Ransu was sort of tingled. He moved one arm one the ground, and he slightly awoken and looked at his hand. Wha? Grass? There shouldn't be any grass outside, it's the middle of winter! How peculiar. Ransu kneeled on one knee with the other standing like an 'L.' He promply put one of his hands above his eyes and squinted, noticing other people were here as well. Well... this is something he thought. He slowly got up and stretched his arms up into the sky and gave out a little yawn.

Rhea's eyes flashed open, her eyelashes fluttering. How peculiar, this is nothing like Greece. No sea, no columns...just...grass. The grass felt wet in her blonde hair as she sat up. Her eyes shut partially as she looked into the blue sky, then they glanced towards an awake girl and boy somewhat her age.

((I have an evil plot coming up.))

Topaz realized that other people were waking up. That's when she noticed a glow of light in her pocket. She pulled out the sheep talisman she had found in the river near her home. She stared at it for a couple of seconds, then looked at the other kids. Their pockets were glowing too.

((I'm not sure if I'm a good RPer....so yeah...

She usually wears a red tanktop with some jeans or short black skirts. She wears a beaded black bracelet.))


Ferel's arm moved around the grass feeling the area around her. Her eyes were still closed. "Where am I? I was just on my bed." she said to herself. Her eyes slowly opened and she was staring right at the sky. "Where am I?" she said to herself. She got up in a sitting position. She looked at the other kids. She looked at her pocket and saw it glowing. "What is this?" she said still looking at the pocket. She looked towards the other kids. "This must be a dream." she mumbled to herself.

((You're all fine. ^_^))

Rhea didn't have a pocket, rather her talisman was clipped to a chain around her neck. She examined it. The Chinese characters for dog was written in black, while there was a big, full, golden retriever holding up it's paws. She looked at the dog, while the dog looked at her. "Oh!" She fell backwards in surpise. No, she was captured by a human from one of the tribes. He brought her away to it's hut and redressed her in a royal white loincloth skirt and a white bikini. Her face was painted with black tribal powder. "Human princess, no wear clothes like that you wear before. Now go play." The person looked at her talisman for a second, then pushed her out of the hut. Princess? I'm certainly no princess...must he mistakened me from the real princess? She blinked uncontrolably, standing in front of the other youths, feeling almost embarressed.

((And that was the evil plot of mine.))

Topaz watched as the human took Rhea away. She was stunned for a few seconds, but she knew that she had to save her. She chased after the human without a second thought. Suddenly, she felt a burst of energy flow throughout her body. Her talisman was glowing brighter than ever now. She was started to run a little faster, and the ground seemed to have gotten closer. Then she realized that she was running on all fours. This doesn't feel right. she thought to herself. She saw a nearby pool of water and walked over to it. To her suprise, she was a sheep! She baaed and backed away from the pool. Then she turned around to see if the boy had followed her.

Rhea wasn't with the kids however, she could only see them. She glanced at the tribal members, who glanced at her.

All of a sudden Ferel ran towards where Rhea was taken. While running she looked at her glowing pocket. She slipped her hand in the pocket and pulled it out swiftly. It was a talisman of a rooster. "What is this?" she asked. She shook her head and ran towards the village.

Rhea looked at the tribal members, who, looked like they were in a ceremony. They stared at her, as if she had to do something. Blinking, she almost stepped her foot back. But what do you know, the talisman worked it's magic. She morphed into a huge golden retriever with crystal eyes. Rhea heard Ferel running through the forest, and began to run to her. Once there, she bowed her head. Her eyes stared at the other girl, almost as if saying it's alright.

After Ransu took a good look of the surrounding scenery, the tailsman he picked up shortly before coming to this new world, starting emiting a shiny white glow the blinded him momentarily. Aww... what was all that about? he took a sudden deep breath and looked around. Well..... nothing looks too different. He took a brisk step forward and noticed something was wrong. Ok, whatever that is, it feels strange. I wonder what it..., he took a look behing him and noticed a tail was coming out of his backside. His left eye twitched a bit. It appears as though.... I'm a tiger. He gave out a huge laugh. Oh boy, this must definatley be a dream. He coninued to laugh and he walked the opposite direction of everyone else.

Rhea picked up Ferel by the mouth and placed her on the back. She began running through the forest at a rate not even the fastest human could run at. The trees flew by in a rush of green. Soon enough, they arrived at the plains where the rest were. Rhea dropped Ferel off and licked her, and was morphed back into her human-self. She smiled, and held out a hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Rhea."

Topaz looked to see the girl trasnform into herself again. She ran over to her and baaed. Then she tried to transform back into a human, but she couldn't. "Didn't you find that odd?" she baaed

((cool, horoscopes at the bottom of the page :D))

Rhea shook her head. "Not that much. It felt a little, surprising and strange at first, however." She kneeled down and looked into the eyes of Topaz. "Just stay calm and charge yourself, as in bring forth all your physical and mental strength." Hopping back up, Rhea stayed calm and demonstrated 'charging'. She tensed up calmly somehow, and morphed into the dog.

Ferel looked at Rhea. "Ummm...this must be a dream." She shook her head furiously. "Just bring forth all of my physical and mental strength." she thought. All of a sudden the sky seemed to go farther away. She stood up and looked around furiously. Almost everyone seemed much taller than her. She held out her hand in front of her. She saw that they were wings.

Topaz was inquisitive. "How do you know all of this?" she asked. She looked over to see that the other girl had trasformed into a rooster.

((I don't really think I'm a good enough RP'er to preticipate(sp?) See? I can't even spell right. Well, goodbye.))

((Awww, come on Blacks. You're really good at RPing. Join! Join!))

Her head bobbed to the side, idly. "I just watch my mother...she's a high priest and everything, so yea..." Becoming tired, she sat down in the grass and looked in the sky.

((SUSPENSE! We need suspence.))

Ransu was still walking around all over the place. GEEZ, did I get like stuck in a virtual reality game or something? Cause I'm getting hungry He sprawled out and curled up under a tree, since he's a tiger. He weakly opened one eye and saw some creatures a little far away. He started to lick his chops. Looks like were having some fried chicken and dog soup. He had a greedy smile. And since I'm a tiger, I'm an expert hunter, so this shall be done in no time. In a flash, Ransu dissappeared.

((ONLY IF I GET MY CHEESE WHEN WE'RE DONE.

Country: USA
First Chinese Zodiac Talisman: Rat-Morphs into a small rat that can fit through small places and see what can't be seen by normal eyes.

Good enough...?))

((You're in. Oh, and Koko-chan, we're not supposed to know anything about this place or our powers. ^^;; I should have specified.))

Topaz looked up into the sky and sniffed. "I sense something coming..." she said. "It's coming at fast speeds, too." She looked around the grassy plains and tried to find out what it was. She walked up close to Rhea and lifted her on her back. "We may need to run," Topaz said. "Get on quick, girl."

Blacks opened his eyes slowly. He suddenly flipped up on his feet. This is weird...Last thing I remember I was climbing a tree...Better look around...? Blacks noticed a bright glow from his pocket. "Wha..?" He almost reached into his pocket, when he saw Rhea and Topaz. "Uhm...Where the heck am I, and why is my pants glowing?" he said to himself, hoping someone nearby would answer him.

Topaz ran up to the boy and put him on her back. "Trouble is coming. don't be afraid." she said to him. Then she began to run into the forest.

Rhea grinned her 'dog' grin. 'Don't worry, whatever your name is, I figured out it's easier for me to run.' She smirked in a sly way, pouncing in the grass and sprinting off. She looked behind her as the wind brushed her face, cooling down the body beneath all of the fur.

((That's because when she was morphed into a dog, she felt the 'charging' energy that she was used to, so she quickly figured out that's how she morphs. Not much else, though, Topaz-chan.))

Ferel was already on Topaz's shoulder. She looked around to see what the trouble was.

Blacks held on to Topaz not to tight, but had a good enough grip to stay on well. "I need to know! Where in the holy lords name am I?!"

Ferel sighed. "I wished I knew the anwser...and I have no idea why I'm a rooster!" she said still looking around. She then looked at her feathers still not use to having them.

Rhea ran along with Topaz. She stopped dead in her tracks, looking in the sky.

"Yeah, yeah...You guys are animals...But why?"

Rhea morphed back into her human form, still running. "Think about this for a second." She charged her energy while holding the talisman, morphing back into the dog. She smirked in a sly way, and accelerated.

Blacks scratched his head in confusion. "I'm a little slow witted. I still don't get it. Does it have to do with this...?" Blacks held out his Rat Talisman.

Ferel shivered. She fell off Topaz's shoulder. She turned back into her human form. She winced at the pain and started running so that she could catch up to them. A little bit of blood dripped of her arm.

Rhea stopped and ran back to Ferel. She got down on her stomach, as a gesture saying, 'You can get on my back instead.'

Ferel smiled. She climbed on Rhea's back. "Thanks." she said softly.

Rhea pounced a head start, speeding up to Topaz. She looked at her. 'I still didn't get everyone's name.' Rhea actually said. In dog form. Yes, she could speak.

"My name is Ferel! I'm from Japan.." she said. She looked around.

'Ah, my names Rhea, from Greece.' She bowed her head while sprinting the miles.
