Flames danced to the pop of wood, my cheeks warmed by the fire. I was
engaged in conversation with my soldiers, though sleep gnawed at my
entire being.  It was a beautiful night, with a deep purple sky lit by
pin-pricks of light, crickets playing us all their soft chirps, and an
all-round amorous feeling in the air. The taste of food that’d been kept
 in rusted tins still lingered on my tongue, and it felt good to finally
 relax.  I could have sworn there was something watching, but I was too
foolish to alert the others.  It was only when I saw the flash of silver
 did I realised my suspicions were correct.




The words had barely formed in my head did I see, through the flames, a
fellow soldier collapse onto the floor. Seconds later, another one. The
quiet evening air was torn apart by a metallic screech, and that’s when
my suspicions were well and truly confirmed.




Out of the shadows it came, swift, silent. Half of my men never got to
see their killer, and I only got a brief glimpse, but it was long enough
 to realise that I was to meet my end at the metal claws of an Alkain. I
 felt its weight pin me down, and I stared into those programed, glowing
 eyes, meeting their gaze until my vision finally faded.


Plot:

  

Kay, guys. Basically, a couple decades ago, the planet Varren was
 in a deep, I mean pretty darn deep, world war. And so, these two sides
were slowly ripping their planet apart, so, some bright spark on one
side, came up with these things called ‘Alkain.’ Alkain are highly
intelligent robots, infused with a certain animal spirit. So, say
there’s a cheetah Alkain, it would have been built like a cheetah, but,
since it would be mainly built for speed, the amount of damage it can
take would be compromised. But say you have an elephant Alkain (Why, I
do not know.) its speed will be compromised, but then it would be able
to take butt-loads of damage. Kay?

And so, once this side had finished perfecting the Alkain, they
unleashed them across Varren. And although Alkain can think for
themselves, they have the need to kill built into them, kinda like a
strong instinct. But, of course, there was no ‘off’ switch, and the
Alkain, instead of just getting the other side to surrender, almost
wiped them out. So, once the few remaining humans from that side went
into hiding, the Alkain moved onto their own side, with the same
results.

So now, with Varren’s population of humans down to a couple thousand,
everyone had to group together, whether they liked it or not, and so
there’s little groups of people scattered around, slowly trying to
survive and kill of the remaining Alkain.

Seeing as the Alkain cannot reproduce, although they do have a lifespan of a couple thousand years, it’s an almost even battle.

The reason:


So, a new king came to power, Marivous, which seemed to be the end to
all of Varren's problems. But unfortunately, he quickly showed his true
colours. He created unfair rules, favoring whomever he wanted.


This meant the lower classes soon fell into poverty. Year passed, and
soon one man, Amus, got everyone together, pumping them up into an
outright war against the king. Little did they know that this would lead
 to the near extinction of humanity.


One of Varren's leading scientists was on the side of the Rebellion,
since research he had been doing for years, on the Alkain, was stopped
when Marivous came to power. And so, with make-shift equipment, the
Alkain came to life.


But seeing as this wasn't the high tech stuff Egrek had been working with, mistakes were made. With dire consequences.

Okay. So the point of this is to figure out what animal you will be. You will receive two choices; you are to pick out of those two. You are not to complain about what you get. Do NOT post this on the forum. Send either SilentSteps2709 or I an R-mail with your answers. I repeat, do NOT post this on the forum. If you do post this on the forum, you will be asked to edit your post and re-read the entire first post. The questions are labeled in blue, the possible answers in brown. You may only choose from the list of answers given. Also, when I put the *'s at the beginning and end of a question, it means multiple choice. Please, answer these honestly. No one will judge you for what you get, and no one but Silent or I will even see your answers.

As a side note; Silent lives in England, so she is usually asleep by 3:00 PM Res time. If it is later than that, please R-mail me your answers. Thank you! Also, there are only four positions in this roleplay. Because Silent and I already take up two, there are only two other spots left. Make sure to snag a spot before they're all gone!

Who's Joined:

(( Just suscribing. o3o ))

(( Thanks for accepting me ^^ ))

Name: Silver
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown
Personality: Silver knows what she wants, and if she has to fight a bear to get it, so be it. Nothing gets in her way when she desperately wants something. She can seem harsh and sarcastic, and is very blunt, but really she is sweet and kind, she just doesn't know how to express herself. She can be a little awkward and rude sometimes too, but deep down she really wants to be nice and just can't show it. She has a great sense of humor as well.
Appearance:

(( Picture of an Arctic Fox. It is not mine. ))
Her left front paw (the one that is lifted up) is made of metal, along with her ear on the right side and the tip of her tail. Some more metal spots along her back show when she looses her thick fluffy winter coat, but are completely concealed during snowfall.
History: She'd rather say herself.
Other: She prefers night to day, and winter to summer.
