He's late again.
A ghostly white figure stood beneath the dull light of the street lamps above, the flickering lights bringing back little bursts of the night darkness on occasion.
She directed her treads in a constant pacing motion, turning in small back-and-forth circles in front of a tall chain-link fence. The faint glow of the multitudinous city lights afar - with the moon's dull shine to boot - shone attractively on the metal.
The only audible noise that could be heard throughout the area were the many red bracelets making little clink clink noises on her wrists, the occasional car horn beeping, and the sharp barking of some distant canine.
New York City, specifically at night, wasn't exactly the safest place to be in when one is alone. There was really no telling what can happen on those streets, and most, if not all, of the options were unpleasant.
But not for the street-smart felines of the two rivaling gangs - in fact, they reveled in the night.
They could feel free.
Being a naturally frangible albino, however, she never showed her face in the daytime. The merciless heat of the summer sun could burn her skin beyond belief if she stayed out for too long.
That was why she relished in the cooler night hours, found a friend in the darkness.
But tonight, she wasn't out to give a meeting or converse with her members.
Tonight she had business to take care of - important business.
And it was most likely not going to end very well.
The sudden metallic tap of a nearby trashcan reached Yukiko's thin ears, causing her to whip around, quick as lightning.
A tall, imposing figure slowly emerged from the shadows behind her, treading in such a minatory manner that Yukiko thought she might get attacked.
Hooked claws immediately slid out from their scabbards as her white fur rose in apprehension.
Her blood froze as a pair of eyes - glowing an icy blue - made themselves visible to the tense female, then a white-striped gray paw emerged from the blackness, and then a face...
...wearing a handsome, friendly smile.
The revealed figure tilts his head at her as he slowly makes his way towards her, violet-dyed bangs falling over a teal-blue eye.
"Hello there, 'your majesty'."
As if to mock her, he bowed low in a most exaggerated fashion - he smirked in satisfaction as he saw that the gesture made her lip curl in offense. "No need to get all worked up - it's only me."
He knew he was in the presence of another all-powerful gang leader, but he acted as casually as two regulars having a decent conversation.
Well, he was a gang leader himself, so he was entitled to that right.
The albino's fur instantly lay flat again, and she slowly sat down, as if hesitant, tail curling over her paws.
She glared at the tomcat in front of her, and showcased one of her curled claws.
Her voice came out deadly calm in tone, "You should not scare others like that, Jayson. Need I remind you how much lethal damage I can do, even a tom?"
She stood there, calculating and withdrawn, a sour and murderous expression filling her features.
Jayson held up a paw as he glanced at her hooked weapons, wincing.
"Er...I'll pass, thank you."
You'd be asking for a death wish if you tried to cross her.

1 x 1 RPs -- i. Introduction To The Plot
This plot is heavily inspired by the Studio Ghibli movie "Princess Mononoke".
Set in the old days of Japan, an enchanted forest lies beside a small village. The spirits of the forest are in conflict with the greedy humans there, which has caused some very harsh disputes over the years. A young human girl (A) who has been raised by the pack of wolf gods in this forest senses something strange in the armed hunter ( that dares to venture into her home.
He seeks not to destroy her slowly dying home, nor to eradicate the supernatural guardians, but only to explore this new land and see if he can put an end to the war. Upon meeting the vague and bold girl, he feels a b bond in the 'string of fate' that may tie the two unlikely beings together.
Although it means risking his very life, he plans to stop the feuding parties as well as discover the truth about the girl...who might be the one he was looking for for so long. But can they uncover the secrets about the past relationship they may have once had?
ii. Rules of the RP My rules are quite simple!
- First of all, try to be advanced with your posts. 20 sentences may seem like too much, but really, it's not. Put it into a line counter and you'll see how easy it really is to be advanced! - Secondly, try to be active. I'm not saying be on every hour, but try to be on at least 2 times a week, if you can! - Third, please try to be patient, and DO NOT spam me, because I'll take longer to respond if you do. I'll be honest with you, I'm not exactly the most active person when it comes to roleplaying. I have a bad habit of losing interest, so I may stop replying for a while. Just know that I will return!
Whoever posts first gets the plot. Have fun! c;
Character A (Wolf Girl) : Yukiko Inukami Character B (Male Hunter): -----------------------------------------------------
xx - - The long, mournful melody of a wolf danced throughout the trees of an enchanted forest. As if in response to this drawn-out song, the morning sun slowly began it's ascent over the horizon, painting over the once-darkened skies with colors of pink and orange and yellow. As the dawn roused itself from sleep, so did the forest. Mellifluous songs of various avians persuaded the nature spirits and woodland creatures to wake up as well, to open their sleepy eyes to the warming rays of the morning. But the forest was not the only thing that was waking up.
There the two lay, in the mid-dim light of a mountainous cave; the shield of a white pelt illuminating the cave that served as her dwelling. A large, powerful, and very intimidating beast protecting a demure bundle of a wight. The Mother of the Forest - a rare and revered creature, a killer of man - sheltering a mere mortal.
A white wolf goddess and a human girl.
Tales were told of this mysterious girl and her so-called "mother", how the wolf god was pursued and captured relentlessly by persistent hunters who wanted to kill her just for her pelage. She held a b grudge against all humans; they were nothing but wretched beings to her. So why had she taken in this human girl? Well, simply, the wolf goddess saw something in her. Something...supernatural, almost. Besides that, the goddess had always wanted a daughter. Someone who she could call her own. Although the girl still had dastardly human blood flowing through her veins, she was a member of the Pack. A wolf on her own.
Another low howl resounded throughout the forest, which made both the goddess and the girl stir in the rocky den. The human stretched with a yawn, not wanting to leave the soft fur of a bed that her mother bore. This howl must have meant something suspicious, because the wolf turned to her daughter with an urgent, sort of worried expression in her red eyes.
"Yukiko, come quickly," she said, her voice charming, but with a low growl mixed within. The girl, called Yukiko, rubbed her eyes and sat up. "What is the matter, mother?" They usually didn't wake up this early, so she was a slightly confused.
"We think there might be hunters in the area again," came the reply. "Stay behind me and keep quiet." As the gigantic wolf rose to step out of her den, Yukiko swiftly jumped onto her back, clinging close to the goddess's glowing pelt. The wolf's massive twin tails twitched behind her as she climbed up the rocks to the meeting place, where all of the other Pack members were gathered.
Indeed, there was someone down there; a figure on horseback. He appeared to be armed, with a stick-like object on his back. What a human was doing in the Forest was unbeknownst to them. But the Alpha was not going to let him pass, let alone destroy the Forest. The giant male bared his fangs and growled low.
❤ - - Muse A (Boy) is a transfer student at a high school. He seems like a pretty normal guy; but unbeknownst to most he's a vampire, out for blood. When he smells an attractive girl's blood-scent, begins following her around, desperate to be as close to her as possible. Muse B (Girl) is a bit unsure of Muse A's clingy behavior, but she finds him very handsome - and soon, worthy for boyfriend material.
But what will she do when she finds out that Muse A is out for her blood?
- If I don't respond after you like my most recent roleplay post, that clearly means I am busy. If it's been over a day, then it's okay to call me back. But please do not like every post/thread I have made just to get me to reply faster. I do not "forget" about my roleplays; I am just a busy, slow replier. - Be advanced with your posts. - Have fun with it!
- - Yuma Mukami let out a loud yawn, his protruding white fangs catching the bright sunlight that filtered through the petals of the cherry blossoms. This boy was was - according to most girls - to be a beautiful boy, handsome even. His tied-up hair was a natural coffee brown, slightly long, with the very tips dyed snow white. And his eyes, oh, they were sharp. They looked as if they could cut right through you if he were to glare at you. His eyes were a bright mahogany-crimson sort of mix, dotted with vivid neon green and oceanic blue; thin, almost unnoticeable strokes of liquid eyeliner traced the very edge of his eyelids, making him look more intimidating.
His clothing was...a rebellious sort of style - a white blouse that was unbuttoned at the top, leaving the very top of his pale chest exposed. On top of that was a green tie that hung loosely from his sharp collarbone. He had a black jacket embroidered on the front with the official school emblem, as well as dark red pants to go with it. His shoes, just black Converse with white laces.
The Japanese boy seemed like your average 'loner' - that one one mysterious kid that always skipped around his classes. He wondered what his life would be like at this new school. Well, it was pretty boring so far, so he figured it was going to be a lousy one. He gained both positive and negative responses from the students when they saw him sauntering through the hallways, but really couldn't care less what people thought of him - he didn't give a hoot. But most of the kids were afraid of Yuma, suspecting him to be a vampire because of his reddish eyes and pointed teeth. Well, that was true, pretty much. He was out hunting for blood this very day. He hadn't had a good fill yet; most of the people he did taste had bland, stale-tasting blood, and he hated it. He wanted to try something...different for a change.
Absently, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a sugar cube, twirling the block in between his claw-like black nails before popping it into his mouth. It rapidly disintegrated in between his long incisors. Looking around, Yuma paused as he sniffed the air. The metallic scent of blood began to waft into his sharp nose, and his red eyes promptly dilated into paper-thin slits. The smell meant that someone was near him - he could detect anyone's blood-scent, regardless of whether they were bleeding or not. This was a raw talent of his, and he used it to his advantage.
The blood smelled utterly delicious, like sweets in a bakery. And he wanted to taste it. Standing up straight from his relaxed soft on the tree, the vampire boy looked around the empty school grounds, waiting for this person to approach him. He was careful not to lose his cool as the smell grew increasingly stronger. ----- - - "E-Excuse me! I'm really sorry...!"
Oliver Kanegami was at his new high school, tripping over his own feet once again. Bumping into everyone. Being the super-shy boy that he was.
It was true; the Japanese-American boy was known for being socially awkward, afraid of just about everyone. He was insecure about his mouse-like behavior, which adds on to his 'shy' issue. No one knew why he seemed so scared of other people, and no one really seemed to care. To the boys, he was regarded as a wimpy fragile person, most certainly not ready for fights. But with the girls, it was different. Why did Oliver hang around girls so much? Well, for one, they were much more sympathetic and friendly than the other people he'd met. But the majority of it came from his shyness, which they thought of as...adorable.
This ivory-skinned, somewhat feminine boy was certainly small for his age of 16 years. Most of the students thought he was a freshman at first glance, when he was actually on his 2nd year. Round, innocent auburn eyes framed with thin glasses add on to his looks, while short vivid red hair curls over his head and into his eyes, which causes him to loose his vision at times.
Like...now. "Uwah - ! Sorry!"
The impact with the person in front of him caused him to loose his book bag, which was now wide open from the fall. Oliver's child-like face flushed pink as he eyed the contents that had spilled out - sketchbooks, multicolored led pencils, printer paper, a large box of assorted mediums, song lyrics, lots of creative material for an aspiring artist like him. Of course, he made a hasty attempt to scoop up the items and push them back into his polka-dot book bag. Great - embarrassment on the first day.
"Ouch..." He suddenly felt a weird feeling on his face, and he realized that his nose was starting to bleed. Oliver suffered from an inexplicable condition where here he got random nosebleeds for no reason whatsoever, besides him being overwhelmed or tired.
The boy looked up at the person - the girl - in front of him with glassy eyes, hoping she wouldn't tell him to get out of her way or something similar. -----
❤ - - This is not private; chatters are welcome!
Once someone replies to my starter, they have claimed the plot. There are no rules here, just be advanced with your posts and have fun!
- - A young ebony-haired girl, seated in the back of a shiny black Ferrari, watched the palm trees of Sacramento zoom past as she made her trip to Cape Coral High School. Also known as...her school.
Meet Yurika Takemori. Or, rather, Princess Yurika, as she prefers to be called - the richest girl in the entire school with a long line of wealth running in her family. Despite this exterior, she wasn't as narcissistic as people thought she was. In fact, she was generous and kind, willing to give anyone help if they needed it. But she wouldn't let them know this, of course, so she wore her queenly mask at all times.
As she made her exit from her car, the Japanese girl began her entrance into the building. She could feel the stares of a hundred eyes on her as she made her way inside. She walked with such a b air of regality emitting from her as she glanced from side to side at the other students with a sparkle of humor in her purple eyes, hidden by $250 designer shades.
The first thing one would notice about this Queen is her looks - she didn't exactly care about the dress code the school set. She wore what she wanted, and that was that. Her curvy figure, almost a perfect hourglass, was dressed in a lacy halter top tied at the back of her neck by strings. That gave a little peek of the pale skin of her flat stomach. It was accompanied by navy short shorts that covered just enough, but no less. A pair of white sandals adorned her feet, showcasing her teal-painted toenails. A long cascade of cropped inky black served as her hair, framing her head.
A bright smile adorned her pretty face as she turned corners of the hallways, admiring the turning heads and looks of jealously she was receiving. Her violaceous orbs immediately spied her red locker on the left. After fetching her items from said locker - which was so fancied up on the inside that you'd know she was rich at first glance - she glanced at herself one more time in her mirror. Another day as the Primadonna? Works for me.
She kissed the glass with her rouge lips, then made her way down to math class.

general rules for battles -- Attention All Members of (RP Name Here)!
Before we fight, I must set some ground rules for the roleplay. This is a huge battle, and as such there are limitations to your characters.
Yes, I understand I may seem nitpicky and 'unfair'. But I'm sorry. It is required that you read and follow all of them, and I will know if you haven't done so.
Rule 1. Some of your cats WILL die in this battle, and you must be prepared to "lose" them. I will gather the names of all characters who will be involved, put them all in a random selector, and then have it pick half the number of characters in it. For example, if there are thirty characters involved in a fight (minus the many NPCs), I will pick 5-10 times for five to ten deaths. If your character's name gets chosen, they will die at some point during or after the battle, so don't think about complaining or trying to find a way around it. You must write out a decent death scene for them. You don't get a choice; this battle is going to be fairly realistic.
Rule 2. This is a battle. There is no need to be overly-descriptive. I'm not saying that a paragraph of battle RP is bad, it happens all the time! But fights are meant to be quick and flowing, not full of big words and the like. Detail is fine, but just keep in mind that long posts describing every little exact pinpoint of your cat and their actions (like the tiny, fractional movement of an eye) will take you much too long to reply. It will annoy your partner while they try to make sense of the two-paragraph post you wrote while you are already starting to plan your next attack. Like stated above, detail is completely fine, but a few sentences is all you need during a battle.
Rule 3. No more than two posts for any one action in a fight. Any more than that, and it is considered godmodding. Combo attacks tie into this rule as well.
Rule 4. Magic should be used sparingly, and it has to be charged before use. If your cat is distracted or interrupted during the preparation of their attack, they must start over. You can't use two spells at once.
Rule 5. No matter if your cat has this ability or not, in-battle teleportation of ANY kind - including shadow portals and moving at light speed - is godmodding. Especially if the teleportation is used to move behind a cat in order to hit them. The reason why it is godmodding is because it makes it impossible for the other RPer to dodge it. There are no "what ifs", so don't even try it.
Rule 6. Your cat doesn't have unlimited energy. A character's attacks, no matter how complex and no matter how powerful, CAN AND WILL drain their energy. They cannot use their attacks but never get tired from it. The larger the attacks are, the more physical energy the cat loses. They may be able to become stronger or obtain some energy based on certain circumstances, but it is not unlimited. That is not to say that they should tire out on the first go; this rule comes into play later on.
Rule 7. No. Overpowered. Characters. Your cats, regardless of their race, rank, and power, are not the most powerful beings in the universe. Even the archangels fall under this rule!
Rule 8. DO NOT POWERPLAY. If you're wondering what this means, basically it is something like this: Exampleclaw ran up to Blahtail and unsheathed her lethal claws. She sliced clean into Blahtail's throat, watching as the sputtering cat fell to the ground. PLEASE know that an attack post must include "at", "in order to", or "towards", so that it doesn't really hit the opponent. You do not get to decide whether or not that character dies from your attack, nor do you even get to decide if it hits them. If you want to kill your partner's character, you must ask if it is okay to do so. Same goes for certain attacks such as mind control and illusions. As long as your partner allows you to do it, it's all well and good.
Rule 9. Self-healing & regeneration is only acceptable in a few ways. For one, it is best never to do it in a fight, as it is cheap. If it is a spell, it always requires a significant amount of time and energy to cast. There is no such thing as a "fast healing" when you're in a fight. For example, if your character is bleeding badly with several serious injuries, broken bones, sword wounds, etc. it would take at least a full minute of RP time to cast the spell and probably take a TON of energy to complete it. Whatever you do, do not go healing your cat every time they get scratched.
Rule 10. Hybrid characters. This rule may seem unnecessary for a battle, but it's more realistic in the sense of genetically passed powers and weaknesses. If your cat is an angel/demon hybrid, or any other mix of the 3 races for that matter, you must abide by certain rules. So let's use an angel/demon cat for example.
Any strengths or powers they might gain from being part-demon will be cut by half. They will only be half as strong as a full demon, half as fast, and so on. This hybrid will also suffer the weaknesses of a demon, such as vulnerability while in sunlight, burning from holy fire, ect. Just because they are part-angel does not mean that they are immune to those weaknesses, although the damage level may not be as high as that of a pure demon. Same goes for mortal/demon/angel hybrids. They would only be 1/3rd as strong as a pure-breed. They may be stronger than a mortal, but a pure-breed would still be able to best then in a contest.
Rule 11. If your cats are not in the battle, they mustn't interfere, jump in, or anything like that. If they are, they must participate and stay there. Those who are in the battle can temporarily retreat to a secluded area nearby, but they must stay on the battlefield. Those who aren't must stay in there respective spots unless they are really need on the field. So please don't don't this: Suddenly Exampleclaw heard the sounds of battle and raced to help! It doesn't work that way, alright?
With all of that being said, I hope everyone is prepared and ready to have fun! Please make sure to follow the rules and be prepared.
( -- Rules courtesy of IMVU's RP Fighting Rules )
general rules for roleplaying -- Read The Information You see all this information, all these words? Well, I need for you to read it. Yes, all of it. Don't skip through everything that is listed here. Why? Because you need to understand the roleplay better and know what I expect and want here. Also, things can be changed in the RP; it may affect your characters. If you don’t feel like reading, then that’s on you. Advanced Posts && Literacy Don't think you're going to get away with two-sentence posts here. Advanced members mean advanced posts. There is no line limit, but by no means does that give you a free ride to push out one or two sentences all the time. We would expect and appreciate at least 4 lines or more.
There is also no need to be overly-descriptive with your posts. Yes, I do them all the all the time. But a wall of big words and the like will only annoy your partner while they try to make sense of the two paragraph essay you just wrote. Detail is fine, but just keep in mind that long posts describing every little exact pinpoint of your cat and their actions will take you much too long to reply. ActivityIf you have a full schedule, and you know for a fact that you can't handle at least one RP, then I highly advise you not to join. It is quite simple.Now, I am a stickler for activity, and when I say this RP has a strict activity rule, I mean that. You can't join, roleplay for a while, but then leave without a notification because of your busy schedule. Yes, people have lives, and I understand that. But if something comes up, TELL ME. Even if you don't think you can, do it anyway. If you're grounded, have no internet, have busy life, no muse/laziness, personal issues, ect., I understand, but I will still mark you as inactive until you return. All members are required to be online for three days a week at least. If you are not online for longer than those 72 hours, I will tag your username to call you back. If you still are not present after that, I’ll delete you and let you know via PM.
You may try again after a week’s time, but if I have to remove you twice for inactivity, then you'll be banned from the roleplay and will not be allowed to join again. Your cats will either be labeled as dead or given away to other members. RoleplayingGod-modding, powerplaying, meta-gaming, and spotlighting is frowned upon here. If you don't know what these are, below are some examples.If you post something like this: "Exampleclaw ran up to Blahpelt and unsheathed her claws. She sliced clean into Blahpelt's throat, watching as the sputtering cat fell to the ground.", then it a form of powerplaying. You do not get to decide whether or not that character dies from your attack, nor do you even get to decide if it hits them. If you want to kill your partner's character, you must ask if it is okay to do so. Bringing up any random event, even tiny things like a snake in the camp or a cat falling in the river are NEVER allowed. You can't spotlight your character by bringing up something like this: "Suddenly, Exampleclaw saw an enemy patrol approaching the camp!" or "An eagle suddenly swooped over and began attacking Blahpelt!" I have the final say in what goes on in the plot. As a regular roleplayer, you do not get to decide when events occur. Your character is not perfect; they cannot dodge every hit and they cannot do the impossible. They cannot know something that is going on without it being revealed yet. You cannot control another player's character(s) actions or feelings. You also are not allowed to control the flow of time in the role play. Only I can decide when one day ends and the next begins.Also, please know your surroundings in the role-play. Keep in mind where your character is and what the environment's supposed to look like. RealismRealism is a key factor in this roleplay. No, your cat cannot kill a fox by themselves. No, they cannot take on a cat who is larger and/or more skilled than they. They do not have powers, either, and even if they do, it is extremely rare. Your cats will die in this roleplay, and you must be prepared for that. Hey, you don't get a choice; the roleplay is going to be fairly realistic in this sense. Spamming && Chatting Please do not spam here. You can call someone back to an RP, but nothing more. Do not obsessively like a member's replies or keep quoting to get their attention; it's annoying and pestering to the other member, especially if they're busy. In order to not clog up the RP with OOC, we have a chat thread. Character Guidelines • I'm all for unique names, but please don't give your cat a nonsensical name like Hydrangreafluff, Tamarinddrift, Archipelagoclaw, ect. They don't make sense in this RP, and they're a mouthful, yes? Make sure you take a look to see if your desired prefix is taken or not.
• Keep pelt designs as realistic as possible. Genetic disorders like disfigurement, albinism, heterochromia, etc. are allowed, but only a very select few will be allowed to have them.
• Pregnant queens are only allowed under certain conditions. Firstly, you need a cat who is to be the father of her kittens. Second, those two have to be mates. If both parties are alright with the choices, then the queen can be expectant. If they decline, then that's it. Plots, Drama, and Romance Every plot comes with a set date and time, with a certain number of cats involved. Everything will be posted in News so that no one gets off track. Be it a fox/badger attack, border invasion, kitting, or any other sub plot, they all must be approved by me.
Drama is always welcomed here. But please make sure you ask me if larger plots, such as a break-in or battle are alright. Romance isn't important in this RP, but if you want your cat to have a crush/love interest, don't ask for one, and don't have your cats fall in love after one conversion. The relationship has to build - it cannot be a love at first sight sort of deal. It doesn't happen in real life, so it's not going to happen here. Also, keep things PG-13. "Skip" is your friend.Play Nice Keep the arguing and drama off of this thread, please. If need be, go somewhere else; I don't want this thread clogged to arguments or debates. So do not bring up any controversial, political, or offensive topics on here, with or without reason.
Please be kind and respectful of everyone and their characters. If you don't like the way that someone's cat acts, then too bad; they can't help that. It's their character, and nothing will change that. Keep it all to yourself.Have Fun If you are lurking, feeling left out, or just bored, then INTERACT! Don't be shy when you really want something to do. If you have any concerns or questions about the roleplay or any of my rules, never be afraid to let me know how I could improve your roleplaying experience.

forest fires \\ a one-shot If this is to end in fire , Then we should all burn together . Watch the flames climb high into the night. Rebellion.Rebellion is... a strange feeling. You can never truly experience it in it's true form, until you’ve seen a demon's fury.I parry my leader's attacks as the forest I call home goes up in flames. His attacks are like the fire - searing, deadly, and quick to move. Even now, I am still in awe of the great power within him.We separate at an equidistant length, our bodies laced with thin, bleeding wounds. For a moment, I am able to take in the scene around me.Burning orange flames snake up the trees in trails. The brilliant light outlines our figures, the choking red smoke it generates rises into the cold night air, the crackling and popping embers drowned out by the distant battle cries of our warriors. There is nothing but chaos in this land. This broken, divided world.I lunge once more, tiny embers streaking briefly over my pelt. He retaliated my swift blows, rolling backwards onto his hind paws, eventually rising to face me. Hawkstar walked slowly towards me, each step sounding thunderous against the singed ground. He was a dark king materializing from the shadows, his features cold. The rage of the fire reflects in his yellow-red eyes.Calling out father, oh, Stand by and we will Watch the flames burn auburn on The mountainside... His black-and-white pelt ruffles in the angry wind. Above us, a streak of blue lightning rips open the sky with a roll of thunder.“Hawkstar…”I raise my eyes to his, and we stare each other down.He does not reply to me, nor does he attack. He just looks at me with a look that spells murder.My legs shifted, and my voice came out strong and unyielding.

save for powers --
The powers listed below can be mastered by both angels and demons, but both species have specific powers that correspond to them.
1. Every cat gets a total of three powers. Two classify as 'major' and one classifies as 'minor'; no other combinations of power groups may be made. This is done in an attempt to prevent god-like characters that are hard to beat.
2. In addition to the major and minor rule, every power has an opposite (even if it seems illogical for the class to be opposite of another class), and there are rules to these opposites as well. Kittens born to a pairing of cats with opposite powers (ex, a mother with a fire power and a father with a water power) will always be powerless.
3. Cats cannot have powers from opposite classes. So, for instance, a cat cannot have fire breath and water manipulation because they are opposites.
4. Please keep in mind that your cat does not have unlimited energy. A character's attacks, no matter how complex and no matter how powerful, CAN AND WILL drain their energy. They cannot use their attacks but never get tired from it. The larger the attacks are, the more physical energy the cat loses. It would also be good to note here that powers cannot be used over and over again in quick succession. They may be able to become stronger or obtain some energy based on certain circumstances, but it is not unlimited. ---ANGEL-ORIENTATED POWERS air -- PROS: Aas beings of the sky, it is a natural ability for angels to control the element of air. In extreme cases, they are able to suffocate their enemies for brief moments. CONS: After a rapid usage, the angel can become distant, light-headed, and/or very lost in thought.Aerokinesis - The cat can create and move air currents.Air Gust - The cat can create small gusts of wind individually and large ones in groups.Tornado - Cats can make a small tornado. The size of the tornado can only be up to three times the height of the user and up to the user's width. Larger tornados can be created with multiple cats.Weather Manipulation - User is are able to make minor changes to the weather, such as drawing fog, moving clouds.Weather Sensing - For some reason, cats with this power can sense changes in the weather or know when a storm is coming, days in advance.Wind Augment - The cat can take on the power of wind onto their own body. It takes more energy the more body parts are covered in the gusts.water -- PROS: These peaceful and serene cats can control the water that surrounds them, be it from the dew on the grass or the rain falling around them. They are the most powerful during rainstorms, as they have almost an infinite amount of water to use.CONS: They can get dehydrated, suffer from dizzy spells, or faint.Water Manipulation - Users have a deeper understanding of water. They are not just drawn to it but can control its very essence, but only if they can physically see the liquid they wish to manipulate.Tidal Wave - Users can summon a wave of water from the water around them. Advanced users can make a wave from the moisture in the air. Takes a lot of energy to pull off.Water Breathing - Cats can breathe for about 40 minutes underwater.Water Augment - Users can surround themselves in dense, protective water. It takes more energy the more water that is used.ice -- PROS: The cat can create, shape and manipulate ice, snow, hail, icicles, and at the most, glaciers.CONS: Creation of ice may depend on the amount of moisture available, dry areas could make the ice melt under extreme heat. The cat can also give themselves hypothermia, if they’re not careful with their powers.Frost Breath - User inhales deeply, then exhales ice from their mouth. The breath amount is limited to the size of the cat's mouth/lungs.Cryokinetics - The cat has a deeper understanding of ice. They are not just drawn to it but can control its very essence.Cryostasis - The cat focuses on itself or objects to freeze for small amounts of time.Shiver - When touching another cat, this causes their blood to feel like it's frozen and shivers to wrack the body of those touched. May even cause possible hypothermia.Arctic Adaptation - Those with this ability don't even give the slightest of shivers to cold or ice.Ice Augment - Users can take on the form of ice on their own body. It takes more energy the more body parts are covered in ice.healing abilities -- PROS: CONS: The healer may only be able to heal non-fatal wounds and certain types of wounds/diseases. It will not work on permanent injuries or abnormal injuries that cannot be treated. The healer’s body may be damaged,Healing Aura - User can temporarily transfer their own aura onto another to heal them from mild wounds.Autonomy - Users have the ability to regrow severed limbs or heal any broken bones.Equilibrium - User shares their pain with an opponent, and takes some health and/or energy from them until they are both equal in all three.Blood for Blood - For a short time, all damage done to specific target is reflected.Immunity Inducement - Users can touch another cat and speak the name of a power to give temporary immunity for about a minute.Fast Healing - Temporarily healing major wounds inflicted to target (to prevent or stave off death until it wears off)
DEMON-ORIENTATED POWERS earth -- PROS: They can manipulate the earth, stones, wood, and plant life that surrounds them.CONS: This is an element that is hard to control, and when used, drains their user almost completely. The more the power is used, the weaker their bodies become. they start to lose their body mass, becoming frail and sick, as if the earth was losing its power.Earth Manipulation - Cats can move a piece of earth up to twice their size.Earth Sculpting - Users shape earth they are in direct contact with.Earthquakes - Creating tremors in the ground is what these cats can do. They are small for an individual, and large for multiple users at one time.Plant Manipulation - Users have a deeper understanding of all flowers. They are not just drawn to it but can control its very essence.Earth Augment - Users can take earth onto their own body. It takes more energy the more body parts are covered in the thin protective layer of earth.fire -- PROS: Hot-tempered cats with the power of pyromancy. They can manipulate, control, and project flames, as well as take the heat of the air and manipulate it into pulses of fire.CONS: They often get burn marks if they use their powers too often; the burn marks heal quickly, but the more power used, the deeper and worse the burns can get.Fire Breath - User inhales deeply, then exhales fire from their mouth. Don't think you're a dragon just yet though; the breath amount is limited to the size of the cat's mouth.Fire Ball - The user forms a small ball of fire in front of them, then shoots it in a chosen direction. Ball always takes at least a couple seconds to form before being thrown.Pyrokinesis - Users have a deeper understanding of fire. They are not just drawn to it but can control its very essence.Ash Manipulation - These users have a fascination with ash and everything that is burnt. They can summon and control its dead state.Fire Resistance - Those with this ability don't bat an eye to heat or flame. It is said that some can walk in lava itself without burning immediately.Flame Augment - Users can take on the form of fire on their own body. It takes more energy the more body parts are covered in flame.poison -- PROS: CONS: The poison attacks can turn tables on the user, causing them to become loopy, sick, or exhausted.Acid Ball - The user forms a small ball of acid in front of them, then shoots it in a chosen direction. Ball always takes at least a couple heartbeats to form before being thrown.Miasma - User inhales deeply, then exhales acid from their mouth. The breath amount is limited to the size of the cat's mouth.Venom - Those with this ability can inject venom into the bloodstream via biting. Venom causes temporary pain and paralysis.Acidic Blood - Those with this ability have blood of burning acid.Adhesive Secretion - Those with this ability secrete a sticky glue-like substance from anywhere on their body, enabling them do things like walking up steep angles.Poison Immunity - Those with this ability aren't burned or bothered by any dosage of poison.darkness -- PROS: CONS:Animated Shadow - Users can pull shadows to make and manipulate a mortal-like form of one’s shadow for small amounts of time.Shadow Ball - The user forms a small ball of shadow in front of them, then shoots it in a chosen direction. The ball always takes at least a couple seconds to form before being thrown.Obscurity - Users can summon darkness to surround oneself or others.mental abilities -- PROS: CONS:Fear Inducement - User can focus on another cat and create fear in their mind. A cat with fear inducement cannot have fear induced onto them by another cat with fear inducement.Madness/Insanity Inducement - User can focus on another cat and temporarily contaminate, poison, and pollute their mind.Fear Eater - Causes fear in another to heal wounds or gain energy from said fear.Cloak of Souls - Cloaks body in screams, causing fear and stumbling to those who come near.Fearless - Those with this ability have literally no fear and is completely immune to fear itself.Alarm - Can sense when enemies are near (by feeling uneasy/afraid suddenly for no reason).

" Bellurium. "
[ B E A U T I F U L ] beau·ti·ful adjective pleasing the senses or mind aesthetically.
Welcome to Our Kingdom. Bellum.
This Latin word describes our dominion as a home. "Beautiful." The flames of nobility have touched these expanses of land, turning it into a masterpiece that is one to behold.
It is a landscape painted in delicate hues of sunlight, which wraps itself into moorlands, grassy hills small and large, and even the occasional mountain that dots the land. Oh, and the coastline cannot be forgotten. The land seems mythical and enchanting, a true wonderland in its own. With lush vegetation, an abundance of edible prey, and enough room to house many more felines than it already does, the land of Bellurium is quite the sight.
The felines are just as stunning; kind individuals who will gladly take you by the paw to lend a helping hand. Even the Royal Family, who hold the true power in the kingdom, are benevolent as their citizens.
While beauty takes the spotlight of this land, it is...not quite as beautiful as you think. For there lie terrifying, dark secrets, evil secrets that are best kept hidden from prying minds. What lies beneath this kingdom's happiness is an enigma on it's own.
Beauty is only skin deep.

Watch your tongue, or have it cut from your head Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid Children roam the streets, now orphans of war Bodies hanging in the streets to adore
Royal flames will carve a path in chaos, Bringing daylight to the night Death is riding into town with armor, They've come to take all your rights
Hail to the king, hail to the one Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun Hail to the king
Hail! Hail! Hail! The King...
Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne Born again, but it's too late to atone No mercy from the edge of the blade Dare escape and learn the price to be paid
Let the water flow with shades of red now Arrows black out all the light (light) Death is riding into town with armor, They've come to grant you your rights
Hail to the king, hail to the one Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun Hail to the king
Hail! Hail! Hail! The King...
There's a taste of fear (hail, hail, hail) When the henchmen call (hail, hail, hail) Iron fist to tame the land (hail, hail, hail) Iron fist to claim it all
Hail to the king, hail to the one Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king, hail to the one Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun Hail to the king!
Hail! Hail! Hail!

Sick of all these people talking, sick of all this noise Tired of all these cameras flashing, sick of being poised Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it

I'm headed straight for the castle They wanna make me their queen And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle They've got the kingdom locked up And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut

Oh, all of these minutes passing, sick of feeling used If you wanna break these walls down, you're gonna get bruised Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it

Redd Williamson // male // 13 Redd Williamson is not the type of person whom you would find doing exhausting training in a boot camp. At a short height of 4'11", he has little to no muscle on his physique and is almost child-like in appearance. His skin is fair, but little pink dots are splattered like paint over his arms and the bridge of his nose. The freckles are quiet faint, though, and can only been seen up close. His face is smoothly cut; no need for a sharpened jaw. His eyes are large and wide, painted with a bright greenish-teal color that glitters in the sunlight. Little Redd’s hair is - ironically - red. More so a dark orange-red, so to speak. It is slightly curly, but not overly so. He tries his very best to keep it neat and tidy, although it is hard for him, considering the circumstances of his camp. This boy is...very sensitive. Maybe a little too sensitive to be in a boot camp of all places. You give him brutal honesty or angered yelling, he'll give you tears. Even if it's juyst barely harsh, he just can't help it; his heart is much too big for his body. His peers are always telling him to "stop being a sissy and man up", but to turn this little guy into a tough, hard-as-nails man? You're going to need to try hard to get rid of that crybaby vice of his. Adding on to his flaws, Redd is also...socially awkward. He prefers to keep to himself, staying out of most social situations; although, he is willing to converse with someone who starts the conversation before he. He does tend to hold a grudge against anyone who harms him or one of his peers, and his unheard of anger can be quite scary. Despite seeming like a doormat, Redd just has a fragile heart. So it is best to handle him with care.
Mae Lee-Kang (May lee-Kangh) // female // 17
Thinking of making friends with this girl? Well... think again. This girl has a tongue chock-full of harsh words and will spit her vemon at you if you're not careful. Mae Lee looks very intimidating for a young girl. She has defined muscles and long legs fit for running. Her eyelids have no crease, thus giving her monolids. Her eyes are a very dark green; they look dull and void of any life. Her long hair could be called spiky, maybe even a bit unkempt, but stylized in her own way. The strands are a darker shade of grayish-black, with silver streaks running through them. Usually, for the sake of training, she keeps it in a messy bun. Mae is anything but "nice". She's harsh, blunt, distant, and gives off an overall negative vibe. Brutal honesty is her best friend forever. You're hurt from her words, so what? She doesn't care. If you're thin-skinned and sensitive to criticism or insults, she'll tell you to toughen up, because the world has no place for cry babies. This tomboyish girl has absolutely no qualms about hurting others feelings, not that she intends to. Sometimes. Living through a childhood full of foul-mouthed people, it's really a no-brainer as to why she's like this. Aside from being absolutely rude, Mae is a stoic one. Her expressionless gaze is enough to let anyone know she's not playing around. She's a no-nonsense kind of girl, and she does not think training is a game. She loves hard work, and pushes herself to the limit if she has to. Being made of iron from inside and out, Mae looks down on her weaker peers, thinking that they should be left to fend for themselves if they can't bite the bullet in training sessions. She has a bit of an ego, and feels as if she deserves utmost importance. She prefers to isolate herself, staring around at nature or the people around her, as if she's actually interested in them. She will talk with others, but her vocabulary usually consists of sharp remarks and blunt insults. So, it's best to be careful around this "snake", because she will not hesitate to show her fangs.

HISTORY ________________________________________________
━ Text
ABOUT ________________________________________________
- - This roleplay takes place in ancient Egypt. They all live in a giant city, called Khefu-Setri, which was abandoned long, long ago by humans. Main buildings were rebuilt, creating a very pleasantly fixed up city. The cats of the city have grown to become more and more advanced throughout the many generations. You see, these cats are civilized, and they are almost like humans, in a way. As the cats are technologically advanced, this roleplay is a bit more unrealistic.
The cats have semi-opposable thumbs that they can use when pointing and holding things. They also do things like sit in chairs as a human would. But do not get the assumption that these cats are anthropomorphic; they're not. They can "stand" on their hind legs, but only for a short time. They thed stay in a natural quadruped position, just to keep things easier. They also wear accessorizes like collars, necklaces, hats, glasses, and other humane objects. Despite the ability to perform other actions designed for humans, the cats will stay in their natural zone of realism.

• The land only has two seasons: a hot summer with temperatures of 100+, and a cool winter with a high of 75.
* Current Season: Hot Season, Summer * Current Weather: Hot, about 99 degrees, with clear skies.
RULES ________________________________________________ 1. Follow all the rules of WCRF. Don't think I won't report people for breaking them.
2. Read the information here. We need for you to read it so you can understand the roleplay better and know what we expect here. Also, things can be changed in the RP; it may affect your characters. So if you don’t feel like reading, then that’s on you.
3. If you're going to join us, BE ACTIVE! You must roleplay here every 2-3 days in order to remain active. We will not hunt you down if you suddenly leave - those who have been gone for over 5 days will be deleted after being put on the inactive list. If you fail to give us a notification beforehand, you're in huge danger of being deleted. Don't waste our time with joining if you're not going to roleplay.
4. God-modding, powerplaying, meta-gaming, and spotlighting is frowned upon here. You cannot summon a random sandstorm of attack without permission. You are not allowed to control another player's cat(s') actions/feelings, not can you control the flow of time in the role play. Only I can decide when one day ends and the next begins. Keep in mind where your cat is and what the environment's supposed to look like.
5. Try to be realistic. Your cats live in a desert. It is hot and dry, there is extremely limited water, and sand is everywhere. As stated earlier, this roleplay is slightly unrealistic in terms of cats having opposable thumbs and the like. However, please do not get the assumption that these cats are humanized; they're not. They are still your normal, everyday, 4-legged animal. So I don't want to see cats walking on their hind legs or using their paws to hold a sword, okay? They do not have powers, either, and even if they do, it is extremely rare.
Also, try not to use any Warriors vocabulary. I know we're doing a cat RP. But this RP doesn't have anything related to Warriors in the slightest. So don't use words like “fresh-kill”, “fox-dung”, “twolegs”, ect.
6. Please do not spam here. You can call someone back to an RP, but nothing more. Do not obsessively like a member's replies or keep quoting to get their attention; it's annoying and pestering to the other member, especially if they're busy. In order to not clog up the RP with OOC, we have a chat thread.
7. Before you move on over to the joining page, keep in mind that there are guidelines your cats must follow. Arabian, Egyptian, and exotic names are going to be used here only. Make sure you take a look at the name masterlist to see if your desired name is taken or not. You are free to reserve names for future characters. Keep pelt designs realistic; no oddly-colored pelts, you know the deal. Genetic disorders like heterochromia, etc. are allowed, but only a select few will be allowed to have them. There should a somewhat balanced number of females and males. You're allowed to have up to eight characters.
8. Every plot comes with a set date and time, with a certain number of cats involved. Everything will be posted in 'News' so that no one gets off track. Be it a rouge attack, kingdom invasion, kitting, or any other subplot, they all must be approved by me. Drama is always welcomed here! But please make sure you ask me if larger plots, such as a break-in or battle are alright to have.
Romance isn't that necessary in this RP, but if you want your cat to have a crush/love interest, don't ask for one, and don't have your cats fall in love after one conversion. The relationship has to build - it cannot be a love at first sight sort of deal. It doesn't happen in real life, so it's not going to happen here. Also, keep things PG-13. "Skip" is your friend.
9. Keep the arguing and drama off of this thread, please. If need be, go somewhere else; I don't want this thread clogged to arguments or debates. So do not bring up any controversial, political, or offensive topics on here, with or without reason. Please be kind and respectful of everyone and their characters. If you don't like the way that someone's cat acts, then too bad; they can't help that. It's their character, and nothing will change that. Keep it all to yourself.
10. Have Fun! If you are lurking, feeling left out, or just bored, then INTERACT! Don't be shy; everyone's willing to RP with you! If you're not having fun, I will not hesitate to slap you with a prickly pear.
- - -
If you have any concerns or questions about the RP, don't be afraid to let me know how I could improve your roleplaying experience!

Other punishments, such as cleaning the laborers' quarters for a month, public humiliation, or claw removal will be given out for smaller crimes.
THE LAND ________________________________________________
Not too far off east from the Nile River is a large, abandoned city, where the civilized cats make their home. Khefu-Setri's golden lands seem endless, as they are located in the great Sahara after all. The sun is always shining with unbearable heat, with little to no rain in the heated, arid climate. The city resides in a desert terrain that mostly contains sandy grounds, a few shrubs, and palm trees here and there. They live in a desert known as the Sahara Desert, a seemingly endless desert that covers most of Northern Africa.
The iconic River Nile river cuts through the country of Egypt, a river full of fertile life. If one followed along the river up North, they would find Khefu-Setri, near the capital of Cairo. The banks of the river are covered with palms, green grasses and red soil known as silt. This flourishing life makes the region a great place to fish and hunt, but also a dangerous region with large, predators making their homes on the Nile's banks and within the waters.
THE CITY ________________________________________________

• The cats of Khefu-Setri have pelts that correspond to their ranking in the class system. High ranks have general coats of light gray, beige, white, or cream. Middle classes have regular shades of ginger, gray, or brown. And lastly, the lower classes have pelts of dark brown, all the way up to black. Exempting the lower class, the cats tend to have short pelts, as long fur would prove to be uncomfortable in the desert heat.

RELIGIONS ________________________________________________
The cats worship the deities of Egypt. Paradise are where the gods live, while The Underworld are where the evil spirits and demons reside.
Upon death, the soul's purity would first have to be judged with certain tests before passing. This would take place in the Hall of Two Truths. Anubis would weigh the soul's heart against the Feather of Ma’at -- if it is lighter, souls are taken to Paradise; if it is heavier, however it would be cast to Ammit, and the soul would be banished to the Underworld.
- Ra is the powerful god of the sun, and ruler of the gods. He was said to appear as a slender yet muscular red Abyssinian with dark amber eyes. A dim golden aura is found around him.
- Bastet is the protector goddess of the cats. She appeared as beautiful, black Egyptian Mau with emerald green eyes and a light green aura.
- Sekhmet is the goddess of war. She was a slender, stunning golden she-cat with a lion-like tail and a red aura. She has smoldering red eyes.
- Nut is the goddess of the moon and sky. She appeared as a slender, long haired, snowy-white she-cat with soft blue eyes. A soft blue aura is found around her figure.
- Anubis is the god of the dead and mummification. He appeared a large, black tom with dim silver eyes. He is seen to have a dark blue aura around him.
- Isis is the goddess of fertility and resurrection. She was seen as a small, cream she-cat with yellow eyes. She is seen with a pair of tutfed “wings” on her back, as well as a pale yellow aura.
- Thoth is the god of wisdom and communication; a brown tabby with green eyes. He is seen with a forest green aura.
- Set is the diety of the desert, storms, and chaos. He appeared a skinny, white Chausie tom with eerie red-and-white eyes. He is seen with a murky black aura around him.

MOONSHINE06'S GUIDE TO LEARNING JAPANESE Lesson 1: Can You or Can't You Learn Japanese from Anime?
Kon'nichiwa! Moony here; the go-to teacher for learning Japanese. I'm here today to start our first lesson: Can You or Can't You Learn Japanese from Anime?
Now, this topic is highly debated upon by many people. But all in all, it's more of a matter of opinion, although there are some truths and misconceptions that go along with it. So, because of this, I'll talk about the things that can be achieved by learning from anime and the things that can't. Please feel free to correct me and ask questions if need be.
よし、行く わ よ! (ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧
- - - - - -
Why You CAN'T Learn Japanese From Anime 1. Anime is not the only sole resource for learning the language.You need to learn hiragana and katakana first so you have the building blocks to forming words. Anime will not be efficient at any stage until you can understand grammar in an early stage, which is basically foundation and broad grammar. And even though words and phrases can be picked up through listening, you'll need a lot more knowledge to even know what they mean. 2. Sometimes (not always), the Japanese spoken in anime is very informal.
This, in some cases, could land you into trouble. Learn the different types of speaking before you move on to conversations. There are three main types of speech by which you can understand the modern Japanese language that are relevant for anime. - Honorific speech and "Neutral" speech - Polite, Casual, and "deliberately rude" speech - Masculine or Feminine speech (I'll cover this later.) As you would expect, you would normally use the Polite Form when speaking with honorifics (- san, - kun, - sama, - senpai, ect.) or with humility. You can also use the Polite Form when speaking normally, as you would to a stranger on the street. And most importantly, you are expected to speak casually and neutrally to a friend. You would actually come across as cold and purposefully distant if you speak in the Polite Form. Vice versa, if you try and talk to strangers with the Casual Form (ex. the same way Senjougahara talks to Araragi-kun), you're not going to be liked very much. But that also applies to English in the same way. Why You "CAN" Learn Japanese from Anime (With a Couple of Arguments)1. "The Japanese spoken in anime is too casual, and therefore is not found in normal conversations."- Actually, you need to learn casual Japanese. You need this probably more than polite Japanese. 2. "Anime can only teach you small words like "kawaii" and "senpai"."
- That is incorrect. There is a way to watch anime where you do actually learn something. In fact, you can learn quite a bit more than just words if you try hard. 3. Anime is fun. Japanese animations are like movies. Why deprive yourself from a source that is going to continually motivate you to master the language? 4. You can learn about Japanese culture from anime.Cultural references are absolutely vital to sounding natural in your Japanese. Anime is a part of Japanese culture. People in their casual conversations, polite conversations, business conversations will throw in anime references. In fact, even jokes stem from cultural references, too! 5. Anime is easy to get to.There are over 200 shows you can watch. You can sort through it all and find stuff you really like. You don’t have this ability with movies and dramas which are more limited and harder to find. ----- The best thing to do if you're learning with anime? DO. NOT. USE. SUBTITLES.Yeah, you might think this is a bogus idea, especially if you're one who nearly doesn't speak a lick of Japanese. However, if the English subtitles are present, your brain will process them instead of the Japanese audio. It really depends on how you use it. A lot of beginners simply have a hard time getting used to deciphering spoken Japanese and it takes a lot of practice of listening to understand when, say, a long-vowel or a double-consonant is used. Listening to anime is great for just part of that knowledge required for familiarity. ------- The main problem is always in the details. Emulating certain speaking patterns or grammatical quirks is going to make you sound strange, or going to teach you improper grammar. Most of the time you shouldn't be using “ore” (俺) or “omae” (お前) in a casual manner when speaking with strangers or in a professional setting. Nobody ends their sentences with “dattebayo”, (except Naruto, of course) or “nya”, and doing so isn't actually as cutesy as you think it is. ----- Final Notes The good news about this method are that it teaches you a lot of vocab over a long period of time, helps with pronunciation, and is fun. The bad news? It’s hard. Very hard. Especially if you’re not advanced. Therefore, I recommend this for advanced learners and maybe some motivated upper-intermediate ones. After doing this for possibly a few months you’ll start to see an improvement! I hope this helps you to turn your addiction to anime into something more study-worthy. Until the next lesson, また ねぇ~! (*^▽^)/
Lesson 2: Gendered Language Today for our second lesson, we're learning about Japanese, A Gendered Language?
One of the biggest omissions in Japanese textbooks is gendered language. Ignore it and at some point you will wind up sounding like a girl — or a guy — when you didn’t intend to. So let's delve deeper into this subject and learn different ways of saying words regarding the male and female genders.
よし、行く わ よ! (ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧ ------ What's a..."gendered language"? A "gendered language" refers to how males and females speak differently from one another within a language. It is a feature of other languages (Spanish, for example), but the Japanese version differs, as it refers to gender roles and is not “grammatically gendered”. Meaning that if you are a boy and speak like a girl, there is nothing grammatically incorrect about it. You would just sound like a girl, and that’s no fun. So how do males and females speak differently in Japanese?
The good news is the difference is not actually that great, and learning Japanese gendered speech patterns ( onna kotoba - women’s words, otoko kotoba - men’s words) is more about being aware that they exist than about memorization and study. A key difference, though, is sentence-enders. For example, girls use the sentence-ender wa (は、わ), whereas boys wouldn’t use anything at all. Take the word takai (tall, 高い). A girl might say takai-wa, but a boy would just say takai. Another key difference is the way guys and girls refer to themselves and others. Boku (僕) is a masculine way to refer to oneself, and watashi (私) would be a lot more feminine. There are so few differences, it’s much easier to provide a gendered-language cheat sheet. (Below!) ------- I, Me, You, Us! - Different Words for One Phrase
Japanese has far more pronouns than the average language. There are more than three dozen Japanese words that can be translated as "I" or "me" and even more that can be translated as "you".
Each of them makes a different statement about the speaker's gender, age, social status, and relationship with the addressee(s). Ways To Say "I" In Japanese
Watashi (WAH-tah-SHEE) ~ 私、わたし ~ A standard, polite word for "I", usable by both men and women in formal situations. It's also fine for women in informal situations; a man who uses it in an informal context may come across as business-like or aloof. In the case of children, watashi is often used by girls, but never by boys, who use boku. In Japanese as a second language courses, watashi is almost always the first word for "I" learned. Atai (AH-tah-ee) ~ 値、あたい ~ Used by those wanting to cultivate a "bad girl" image. People who use this pronoun are implied to be lower-class, uneducated, and flippant. Atashi (AH-tah-SHEE) ~ あたし ~ Informal, "girly" version of watashi. It is most commonly used to make the female sound very casual, which makes it perfect for tomboys who aren't tomboy enough to use the male pronoun boku. Boku (BOH-koo) ~ 僕、ぼく ~ It literally means: "I, a non-threatening man." Used by men who want to sound casual without coming across as rude or aggressive. For instance, it would be the normal pronoun for a man to use in an informal TV interview. It's also the default pronoun for young boys. In anime, it can also be used by tomboyish girls. Female singers and poets may also use boku purely for metrical purposes. Jibun (GEE-boon) ~ 自分、じぶん ~ Means “myself”. 99% of the time this serves as a reflexive pronoun just like its English translation, but occasionally it can also be used as a general first person pronoun. Ore (OH-reh) ~ 俺、おれ ~ Literally "I, a tough young person". It is used mainly by young men (from adolescence to around middle age, usually) in casual contexts, such as hanging out with friends. As such, it's traditionally considered rude to use it with strangers and people above one's own social standing, but nowadays younger men use it even with strangers in all but formal situations. Ore-sama (OH-reh SAH-mah) ~ 俺様、おれさま ~ Literally "My magnificent self," or "my most serene highness." Or in Prussia's words, "The awesome me." Attaching the honorific -sama, which indicates great respect, makes it a highly emphatic, arrogant and presumptuous version of ore. A Few Ways To Say "You" In Japanese
Anata (AH-nah-tah) ~ 貴方、あなた ~ The standard, polite word for "you". Also translates to "my dear" when a wife calls her husband anata. NOTE: If you know the listener's name, you must address them by their name. Using anata when you know the person's name is like saying "hey, you!", which is considered rude in Japan. Kimi (Kee-mee) ~ 君、きみ ~ A somewhat informal, but still polite second-person pronoun used mostly by men when addressing their equals or younger men and women. Omae (OH-ma-eh) ~ お前、おまえ ~ Used mostly by men with their close friends, children, kohai, etc. Denotes self-assertiveness and informality, so it's insulting to use it with strangers or in less informal situations. However, it's perfectly fine and non-insulting in informal situations, such as with friends or among siblings. Women also use it but less frequently. Onore/Temee (OH-no-REH / TEH-meh) ~ 己、おのれ / 手前、てめぇ~ An extremely insulting word for "you." Often the last word shouted by a super robot villain before their critically damaged Mecha explodes. Lacking a proper English equivalent, it's mostly translated as a variant of "Why, you!" because of its common use in the heat of battle. Extra Notes: Two Ways To Say Plurals In Japanese
* Be forewarned — Japanese has no grammatical category corresponding to the English plural suffix.
* "Blah-tachi" does not mean "the plural of blah" or “a group of blahs”. Rather, it can be roughly translated as "blah and company”. For this reason, use of -tachi in conjunction with a gender-specific pronoun does not necessarily specify anything about the makeup of a group as a whole (Ex. atashi-tachi and ore-tachi could both refer to mixed-gender groups). -tachi (TAH-chee) ~ たち ~ A suffix used to denote a group that includes the person referred to. [Name]-tachi translates loosely to "[Name] and one or more others"; most singular pronouns can get this suffix attached for a similar effect. Wareware (WAH-reh WAH-reh) ~ 我々、われわれ ~ ("We" or "us") Used by both men and women to refer to a group. Generally used to refer to, one's people or one's company, rather than in a "me and my friends" sense. ---- Well, that concludes our second class for the day! The next lesson will be on honorifics (“those weird Japanese nicknames”) Feel free to ask any questions you may have! Until next time, またねぇ! (*^▽^)/
Lesson 3: Honorifics For the third lesson, we're going to learn about Honorifics.
Honorifics are prefixes, suffixes, or titles that are added to a name in most languages, like "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Dr.", "Sir" and the like. Japanese, naturally, has them. One interesting feature, however, is that there are far more of them with far more nuances of meaning than there are in other languages. Let's learn about these other nuances and use them ourselves! Yoshi! Iku wa yo! (Alright, Let's go!) (ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧ Overview Etiquette is a critical part of Japanese language and culture, and honorifics are a key element in that. They are expressions of respect or endearment, but the type of tone or emphasis can change a title of honor to a sarcastic insult. So just be cautious when using them.
----------- Honorifics-chan (CHYAN) ~ ちゃん ~ A general, informal term of endearment of intense cuteness. Frequently used for girls, but also applicable to pets, small children (regardless of gender), friends, or lovers. -san (SAHN) ~ さん ~ The most common honorific, and the one most familiar to non-Japanese. Roughly equivalent to the everyday "Mr." or "Miss", it is generally used with someone of the same social station as yourself, but also can be used any time you need to be generically polite. -sama (SAH-mah) ~ 様、さま ~ A term of great respect, one step higher than -san. In fantasy or historical contexts, it's generally translated as "lord/lady" or a similar term. But since English really has no honorific expressing such extreme respect, "Mr." or "Ms." usually has to do. NOTE: In situations where there isn't a massive gap in social status between the speaker and the person being addressed, the use of - sama can border on grovelling. -dono (DOH-no) ~ 殿、どの ~ Used back in feudal Japan, - dono was the equivalent of "lord". It once denoted a higher level of respect than - sama. However, it's rather archaic to use at all these days; in anime it's sometimes used to indicate the speaker's age (i.e. Washu in Tenchi Muyo!, etc), or in feudal settings. -kun (KOON) ~ くん ~ Used with boys' names to show familiarity or endearment. Also used between peers by men, or when addressing someone younger or of a lower social standing. Despite its predominant usage with males, it can be used with girls as well, such as addressing a coworker of lower position. -chin (CHEEN) ~ ちん ~ An even more diminutive variant of -chan. Most commonly used by young girls who are very close friends. This is often contracted to make it easier to roll off the tongue; for instance Yukari-chin would become Yukarin. -tan (TAHN) ~ たん ~ A small child's slurred mispronunciation of -chan. If it is used by an adult at all, unless speaking to an infant or toddler, the person is most likely being sarcastic. This is also how the name for the Chibi mascots representing stores, foods, restaurants, ect, was derived — and by extension, any young female anthropomorphization. -senpai (SEN-pah-EE) ~ 先輩、せんぱい ~ Usually translated as "upperclassman" in stories set in high school or college, but it more precisely means "mentor" or "senior", depending on context. Due to differences between romanization systems, it can be spelled in Western languages as either " senpai" or "sempai" ( Senpai is technically correct, mind you.) Senpai can be attached to the end of someone's name or be used on its own. -kouhai (KOH-hah-EE) ~ 後輩、こうはい ~ The inverse of - senpai, meaning someone of a lower class year or lower seniority than the speaker. It's not strictly speaking an honorific since it's not normally attached to a name, and is actually considered rude if not used in the right context. -sensei (SEHN-say) ~ 先生、せんせい ~ Literally means "one who has come before". Usually heard in English referring to martial arts masters. Also applies to doctors, teachers, and masters of any profession or art. -niisan/-neesan (NEE-sahn / NEH-sahn) ~ 兄さん、にいさん / 姉さん、ねえさん ~ Literally refers to one's older brother or sister, respectively, but can also be used to refer to a relative within your generation that is older than you (i.e. an older cousin) or a slightly older close friend that you consider to be like a brother or sister, similar to - senpai. To directly address your brother or sister, add O- to the beginning to show respect. ( Onii-san/ Onee-san), but if you don't feel particularly respectful, feel free to omit it. Siblings trying to be cute will sometimes refer to their older counterparts as Onii-chan or Onee-chan. Well, that concludes our third lesson! Tell me what else I should tech about below. Feel free to ask any questions you may have! Until next time, またねえ! (*^▽^)/

[ ✿ Xx ] War of the Nobles The War of the Nobles occurred during a time of turmoil in SakuraClan ( which was called “The Clan of the Bamboo Valley” back then ). At this time, the hierarchy and philosophy of the Clan was different, with emperors, empresses having more power than a present-day lord or lady. The cats had a philosophy regarding unmixed ancestry, with purebred cats. They were all what you would call “pure-blooded”; cats who had the blood of nobility running through their veins. Some cats thought of themselves to be descendants of the gods because of this, and they even revered the leaders as such. In this period of time, a tom named Emperor Seiji and his mate, Empress Kawa, reigned as the rulers and governed their people under an iron paw. Emperor Seiji was a brutal tom who slaughtered all those whom he deemed “impure” in his eyes - “The Half-Bloods” was their sobriquet; any cat who had mixed blood ( or was thought to have it ) was publicly slaughtered and thought of as a burden to the Clan. A little less than half of the Clan cats were Half-Bloods, so they made a private vow to keep their ancestry secret to any prying eyes that might expose them to their leaders. Surprisingly, Seiji was well aware that his wife, Empress Kawa, was furtively Half-Blood herself, but it is unknown as to why he pretended not to notice or why he even married her to start with. Some think it was just him not having a choice due to their arranged marriage, and he only kept her secret sealed out of his kindness. Others say it was only so he could expose her later on and kill her himself. But both assumptions turned out to be correct. As far as the olden tales go of those that had heard about the two's courtship, Seiji was not always a spiteful cat. He was very understanding and trustworthy, and he vowed to never let Kawa's tale leave his mouth. But over the season cycles when Half-Bloods were being discriminated against to a greater extent, he began to display his own distaste towards them, including his own mate at times. Kawa eventually came to her senses and tried to put an end to her mate's reign of terror. She had enough of his ways of order and prejudice against her kind, so a great, bloody battle ensued with his loyal pureblood cats and Kawa's new army. Kawa tried her hardest to reason with her former mate, but Seiji was too far gone, his mad soul beyond salvation. Everything seemed to be rolling downhill into a pit of disaster, but that was when the gods themselves descended... They struck Seiji to death with a single bolt of fiery lightning. The Empress was deemed victorious, plunging the Clan into an era of peace once more. [ ✿ Xx ] Blight 5 season cycles passed since SakuraClan has seen a major war. The leaders have came and gone, and by autumn, the new rulers of the Clan - Lady Akiko and Lord Kotarou - had only recently taken over. During their reign, however, the healers' den was filling up with cats at a rather rapid pace. They quickly found out that a peculiar, contagious respiratory disease causing bodily chills, dehydration, fever, and congestion. [ ✿ Xx ] The Siege of the Valley During Lady Akiko and Lord Kotarou's rule, the clan was invaded by an army of rogue cats - who called themselves “The Untainted”. The group was formed with around 45 soldiers in all, including the three commanders of the group. Unprepared for this attack, SakuraClan was forced to fight. The battle lasted for nearly an entire day, leaving SakuraClan exhausted and with many casualties. Even the cherry blossoms were stained red with blood; which is they call this time of battle The Era of Bloodstained Cherry Petals. The SakuraClan troops were forced to withdraw at midnight. The Untainted cats vowed to come back again and the next day, they did. But this time, SakuraClan was well ready for the fight. The Untainted eventually started to back off, and the valley cats had a great chance at victory. But near the end of the battle, Lord Kotarou, male leader of SakuraClan, was jumped by Lord Hakai himself. The two skirmished in the middle of the blood-slicked clearing, but the vicious Hakai overpowered Kotarou with ease. He brutally murdered the SakuraClan lord, right in front of Akiko's eyes. After this murder, he made a chilling reminder to Akiko that he would someday return, and her clan would be his. After they left the torn apart Clan to piece themselves back together, Lord Kotarou had a marvelous funeral. His body was adorned with flowers of every kind and laid to rest by the River of the Heavens. As per his mate's request, his body was sent down the river to Mt. Fuji, in hopes that the benevolent leader would climb up to the Heavens. He was the first warlord to ever have been killed in battle, and the entire Clan honors him as if he were their father.
