Intro
β« You've been walking for what feels like days. The sun is hot above your head, and your stomach aches from walking and from hunger. You managed to escape that awful place, somehow, but the outside world almost feels even crueler. You fold your wings close against your back, too afraid to try to fly in case you're spotted by Erasers, and shiver. A secluded life means you have no idea how to survive, and the thought makes your chest tighten. Did you escape only to die? The thought makes the situation feel even more hopeless.
β« You jump slightly as a light thud sounds behind you, and as you whip around to see what it is, you find yourself face to face with a woman. Her spotted brown hawk's wings are fully extended, feathers fluttering like the leaves in the trees above your head, and she has a long, dangerous-looking dagger clutched in one hand. She straightens up from her landing, fixing bright green eyes on you. For a moment, she looks angry, but then she pauses, expression changing to surprise. You were not what she expected to run into out here, it would seem.
β« "You're... one of us," she breathes in shock, shaking her head, and she slips the dagger into her boot. "How did you get here?" She brushes auburn hair from her face, a curious but confused frown on her face.
β« "I-I ran away," you manage to say, not sure how to interact with another of your kind. "I've been walking for a long time... I don't know what to do." In desperation, you admit your struggles, hoping that this girl, someone like you, can help you figure out what your purpose is beyond the School.
β« The girl looks conflicted for a moment, letting out a long breath before giving a slight nod. "Well, you've come to the right place, then," she says, and a faint but genuine smile comes to her face. It's the first kind look you've received in a long time. She waves for you to follow her, beginning to walk deeper into the woods. "My name is Mira. Don't worry, you're not alone. There's more of us, out here. Hybrids, experimented on and tortured inside those Schools. We protect each other, and we can protect you, too, if you want."
β« Speechless, you follow, mind whirling at this new information. Perhaps joining this group of hybrids was the way to figure out where you came from, what you're meant to do, and how to live in this world that only seems to want to kill you. With a flicker of hope in your heart, you disappear into the forest with Mira.
About the RP
β« It's modern day. Half-human, half-bird hybrids created by various Schools across the world have come together to create a group that can protect each other from harm. Living together in the woods, far from any towns or cities, these hybrids have only one job: survive. However, this task is made hard, as the hybrids have many enemies. Erasers sent from the School track the Flock down mercilessly to take them back to where they were experimented on, and curious humans sometimes wander into the woods, risking discovery of the entire group. Survive. Protect each other. Never turn your back on a friend. These philosophies are what have kept the Flock alive for years, and these are the ideals upon which a family is born. Will you help to protect it, too?
Landmarks
β« Cabin: This dilapidated building houses the Flock's base of operations for the last several months. Located in the middle of a sparsely-trafficed area, the cabin is hidden from human eyes for the most part and has not been touched in many years. Fairly spacious, if in desperate need of repairs, the cabin is a reliable home to any aviary friends who happe to stumble upon it. For the time being, at least.
β« Westwood: Located at about a forty minute walk from the Flock's cabin, this large and lively town contains a variety of shops and markets within which the Flock can pick up any supplies, clothing, or other necessities they might need. Despite the town's quiet atmosphere, it's denser population makes it dangerous for avians to enter it, as the probability of discovery jumps significantly. Proceed with caution if you must enter.
β« School: Scattered throughout the world, Schools exist to produce human experiments, weapons capable of feats beyond human abilities. These Schools are essentially torture houses in which hybrids are experimented on and made to perform tests like lab rats. Many members of the Flock came to it after escaping the Schools.
β« Westwood Lake: A large and beautiful lake at the edge of the forest. During the day, humans can often be seen playing on its shores, sailing on the waters, or fishing off the various docks around its circumference. At night, however, the lake is almost always quiet.

RP Rules
β« Characters: Please keep characters realistic within the rules of the world! Give your characters flaws as well as strengths, as that will make them are more interesting character to read about and to roleplay. Characters' appearances should be in line with a typical human, which means no abnormal skin or eye colors. Specify if a character has unnatural dyed hair. When creating your character's special ability, give the ability strengths and weaknesses. If there is anything about your character that I feel is not in line with the roleplay, I may ask you to alter or change parts of your joining form. Please be respectful of this!
β« God-modding: Please avoid god-modding, spotlighting, mary-sueing, etc. You cannot kill or severely injure another person's character without their permission, and your character is not invincible. Be realistic when roleplaying, especially in battle, and be mindful of what other people want for their characters during these moments. Please do not force your character to the center of attention all the time, as this quickly becomes a problem to other players who want their turn to show off their characters. If I see an issue with your style of roleplay or notice you breaking this rule, I may ask you to revise or even delete your post in extreme circumstances.
β« Friendliness: Be kind to everyone on this thread. Insults, slurs, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, or any other type of discriminatory remarks are completely unacceptable and will immediately result in removal from the roleplay and a report to the WCRP staff. Please refrain from bullying other members or causing unnecessary drama. If you wish to put your character into a pre-existing scene of roleplay, please ask permission first as a form of courtesy.
β« Advertising: If you wish to advertise another thread, discord server, or other external link, such as to a social media account, please ask permission first and do so while following the rules of the WCRP forums. Malicious links, including links to NSFW or offensive content, will immediately be removed.
β« Activity: Please be active! You don't have to post every day, but it is much appreciated when members of roleplays make an effort to at least update the group on why they haven't been posting or when they will be around again. As a general rule, inactive members will be removed after 7 days of inactivity, though this can change based on personal status or based on information received beforehand. Please let the group know if you will be absent for an extended period of time so that we do not delete you!
β« Appropriate Content: Although this roleplay will have some level of violence, blood, and potentially death within it, please keep things PG as much as possible! This means no graphic depictions of violence, sex, romance, brutal death, and other similar topics. Romance is allowed and encouraged in these kinds of roleplays, but please be sensitive to the forum rules as well as the personal views of other members of the roleplays. Graphic descriptions, drug and alcohol abuse, verbal, emotional, and physical abuse, suicide, and other extreme topics are prohibited and must be treated with extreme care outside of roleplay. If you have a plot point in mind that you are unsure is fit for the roleplay, please let me know in a private message and I will work things out with you.

The Flock
β« | Mira | 17 | Female | Hawk | With a slim build and standing at only 5'3, Mira shows right away that she is not built for heavy combat. Her red-brown hair falls down to her collarbone, though she often pulls it back into a ponytail or braid for the sake of practicality. She has distinguishable bright green eyes and a pale complexion that makes her appear unintimidating and small. Hawk wings sit on her back, brown and built for speed. Not caring too much for her appearance, she foregos makeup and beauty supplies, and tends to wear practical clothes that help her blend in and move easily. Baggy or stretchy clothing, tank tops, leggings, and tee-shirts are all high on her list of desireable clothing items, along with tennis shoes if she can find them. Because sturdy shoes are hard to come by, she often walks barefoot when she's not around humans, and has thick, strong soles on her feet. Stubborn and outspoken, Mira immediately sets herself apart from the rest of the Flock, and from her brother, as a girl who is quick to make decisions and nearly impossible to disuade. Clearly a leader among her friends, she has a strong sense of justice and sticks to her ideals unflinchingly. To new acquaintances, her argumentative nature can come off as haughty and quick to anger, which isn't untrue, but a deeper look shows that Mira is a girl who cares intensely for anyone she considers her friend. She is fiercely protective of her Flock, especially the younger members, and would do anything to make sure they stay safe. Years of life in hiding have taught her that extreme caution and careful planning are the keys to survival, and her constant reminders to be safe and careful can often come across as maternal in nature. Overall, Mira proves herself to be an uptight but very reliable leader figure and protector amongst her family. Mira and Luke grew up together in a School far away from where they are now, and are only aware that they are siblings due to vague hints the scientists at the School would say to one another. As children, the two of them relied on each other for comfort and reassurance as they sought to find a way to escape their captivity. Within this School, the two met Madeleine, an older experiment who adopted them as her own younger siblings and attempted to protect them as much as possible. It took many years, but when Mira and Luke were twelve years old and Madeleine was seventeen, the three attempted their escape. In the excitement of escaping, Mira and Luke managed to narrowly escape, battered and bleeding, but Madeleine was killed in the process. The two siblings fled as far as they could, taking care of each other as much as possible, until they stumbled upon the cabin they now live in many years later. It was here that they began to build their Flock. She has the ability to sense incoming danger via a sort of "sixth sense". The premonitions are often vague and manifest themselves as a "bad feeling". If she concentrates hard enough, she can sometimes deduce how far away the threat is, how numerous they are, and what they might be. However, using this ability causes her to become extremely fatigued, and it can take anywhere between an hour and a few days to completely recover, depending on the extent of its usage. She has a deceased older sister, Madeleine, and a twin brother, Luke. She is widely believed, if not officially, to be the leader of the Flock. (Thunderfur)
β« | Luke | 17 | Male | Crow | Taller and lankier than his sister, Luke stands at 6'0 and has long, strong limbs. His hair is pitch-black and shaggy, as Luke usually only sees fit to cut it every year or so. When the hair gets too long for him to handle, he tends to pull it back in a ponytail to keep it out of his face, but he prefers short hair is he can get it. Dark hair, gray eyes and a pale complexion can make Luke appear almost spooky, especially when he shows his black crow's wings. Luke tends to prefer clothing that make him appear like someone from the city, like jeans, graphic tee-shirts, and hoodies. Willing to forego practicality for style, he's the more fashion-forward of the two siblings and appreciates a chance to scour the local clothing stores to find out what the new trends are. Luke is a jokester at first glance, always around to defuse a situation with humor or sarcasm. Contrary to Mira's no-nonsense approach to survival, Luke is a strong believer in using humor to lift the spirits of his fellow Flock members. However, this may come across to some as immature or even antagonistic, especially when he leans toward the sarcastic side of humor. With a rather naive and optimistic view of the world, Luke can always see the silver lining in a situation. However, this also means that he is quick to trust and form bonds, and when that trust is broken, it's earth-shattering every time. Digging deeply, a good friend might see that Luke is not as childish as he appears, and carries a form of social wisdom born from repeatedly forming bonds and having them broken. Mira and Luke grew up together in a School far away from where they are now, and are only aware that they are siblings due to vague hints the scientists at the School would say to one another. As children, the two of them relied on each other for comfort and reassurance as they sought to find a way to escape their captivity.

The two siblings fled as far as they could, taking care of each other as much as possible, until they stumbled upon the cabin they now live in many years later. It was here that they began to build their Flock. Luke can make himself incredibly durable, even for a hybrid, and can take many heavy hits before succumbing to his injuries. However, he can sometimes overestimate his abilities, leading to him becoming unnecessarily injured. This ability also consumes a lot of energy when he is actively using it, which means that he tires far faster in battle when using it. This ability often does not seem to work against blades or piercing weapons, but can greatly reduce the damage of blunt force. He has two sisters, Madeleine and Mira. (Thunderfur)
