tle: The Isle of the Bonfires GM: WarriorHawkSpirit
--
Forgotten. Eons ago, this isle was lost to common man... but not to animal. We have flocked here for longer than can be recalled, from all places and walks of life. All are welcome here, and not made to listen to the words of a dictator, though we do have a king here - the lion Asaim. So, are you a wanderer who came here from elsewhere, or a citizen of the isle? Regardless of your origins, form and pelt, we will welcome you with open arms to our haven. The Isle of the Bonfires.

This RP is based on, but not entirely emulating a nameless roleplay on Feralheart, and the idea was given me by the user Akatariel. Therefore, the same rules, locations and principles hold, but you can mix in real geography, and many do. For example, Eshe, a pantheress from the original RP, is stated in-universe to be Turkish, and Swahili is spoken commonly.

LIST OF FICTIONAL SPECIES
These species exist only in Feralheart and in this RP (you can't find Inaus or Malcintions in real life!) and are integral to the plot. They are all unplayable unless you have the creator's permission. That's not me, by the way, , This list is subject to change.
INAU - Not playable, created by the FH user nubeees (or seeebun, as his side account says). May or may not be related to Tharukkai and Malcintions, but is eaten by them as prey. A small gray cat species with greenish markings whose claws can grip solid stone. It lives on the underside of the floating stones of Sky's Rim, and the most common death for them is falling into the water far below and drowning or becoming something's victim.
MALCINTION - A grey, large cave-dwelling cat which I don't really know much about.
THARUKKAI (playable, made by Akat for 2007's NaNoWriMo. I talked it over with him and he says it's fine to use them on the Res forum.) are aquatic, finned lion-like beings with fishtails, telepathic abilities, glowing scales and gills. They named many of Feralia's locations, but only one Naylte Tharu name has survived and passed into common usage, if even in an altered form: the tunnel of Ficho, which translates as 'shark's lantern'. The fluorite crystals within it line up with the routes of sharks migrating from Bonfire's sea to that of Fluorite Plains, which is on the other side of the continent, and the Tharukkai say that if you follow the shining stones far enough, you'll come to the place where the sun rises and marks the boundary of the living and spirit world... In-universe, it's believed that lions evolved from them, and Inau evolved from lions, forming a triumvirate of races.

Just a note to the Feralhearters:
The Magnaro Kin was an evil organization led by a panther named Magnar who are remembered as villains and evildoers. They were all slain or exiled 10 years prior to the beginning of the RP. (Marharhar, take THAT, lewisld!)
And lastly: Most characters can have 'special powers', but don't make them overpowered and don't make them win fights against those stronger than them constantly. That's what likens Tau's whole lineage and many of the Magnaro Kin, so please. Refrain, or I will hate you forever.
