(Rated PG-13 due to mild sexual content, violence and language)

You're just an ordinary teenager, of the variety that spends most of your time in the basement playing videogames and surfing the Interweb. One day, your parents tell you at dinner that they have a surprise for you in the basement. You run downstairs, and find the most talked-about new game on the internet, Orichon Empire, lying next to your computer. Gleefully, you install it and start the program. However, where there should be a Start Menu, there is nothing but a black screen, with three words shimmering green in the center.

It is time.

Before you know what's going on, darkness creeps into your vision, and you black out.

~~~~~~~~

When you awake, you find yourself suspended in fluid, surrounded by a glass tube. The tube is in a room that looks like a lab, but none that you've ever seen before. Upon closer inspection, you discover that you've changed drastically. You are no longer even human, but have become some type of anthropomorphic creature. Fear and anger course through you, and somehow you break your container. Almost as soon as you free yourself, you realize that there are others like you in the room, also breaking out of their containers.
You all have a brief moment to wonder what the Hell is going on and make some introductions, before an alarm sounds, and Gryphon guards in the facility begin to rush to the lab. Joining forces, the twelve of you fight your way out of the facility, and manage to escape. Soon after leaving the base's perimeter, you are ambushed by shadowy forms, hooded and gagged, and led off to an uncertain fate.



--------------------------------------------

Ok, here's how it'll work. You are each a kinetic, an individual who is gifted with the ability to manipulate some force of nature. The type of anthro you become depends on what you control. For example, a fish would not be a Pyrokinetic. You will end up either joining the resistance (Hanranki), or the Orichon Empire. Your fate lies in your own hands.

People’s forms:


RPer: Krystalline Kabutops
~Original Name: Kyle Forsythe
~Kinzoku Name: Kynine Frythine
~Age: 17
~Gender: Originally male, female on Kinzoku.
~Human Appearance: Kyle is almost six feet tall, and has dark brown hair that comes down to his ears in a pudding-bowl haircut. He's long and lanky, and usually wears baggy, blue cargo shorts with a loose T-shirt and a pair of sandals (Not flip-flops!). He's very pale, and his eyes are gray.
~Anthro Appearance: Kynine is a bit taller than Kyle, at 6'1. A pic of her is here, with the only differences being that the black stripes/dots in the pic are actually dark brown, the white parts of her eyes are actually yellow, and her feet have 3 toes each and are webbed. She wears a loose, navy-blue robe with a hood over a black, skintight suit. It looks like a normal one-piece swimsuit, except that it has a hole for her tail and goes all the way down to her elbows and mid-calves.
~Personality: Laid-back and casual, Kyle is the epitome of slacker. He's near impossible to faze, and is a bit of a smart-ass. He has a good deal of jokes up his sleeve, and has a habit of pulling them out at the most inconvenient times. Even the change into Kynine she's taken in her stride (She seems to prefer being a girl). The only thing that really ticks her off, besides having one of her jokes turned back at her, is when a guy starts hitting on her. Such incidents usually end up with Daeuh having to remove a hefty dose of lionfish venom from the offender's body.
~Anthro Species: Lion Fish, of course.
~Brand of Kinetics: Aquakinetics.
~Powers:
---Natural Abilities:
==Poison Barbs: Kynine has a pair of barbs on her elbows which she can elongate in battle, so that they appear to be a pair of swords. The venom in them is quite potent, and can kill a victim in a matter of hours.
==Gills: Kynine has both gills and lungs, which means that she can breathe perfectly well both in water and out.
==Antennae: Kynine has several antennae on her head, which give her heightened senses of smell, taste, and hearing.
==Swimming: Due to her aquatic nature, Kynine is an exceptional swimmer, both in endurance and speed.
---Kinetic Powers:
==Water Burst: Kynine can control any liquid in the vicinity, and send it in projectile form at an opponent. The size of the projectile depends on the amount of liquid available.
==Condense: Kynine causes the water in the air to condensate, giving her a source of power even when there is no other liquid readily available.
==Minion: Kynine can form a minion out of water, and hold it together for some time as it battles an opponent. If her concentration is broken, her minion falls apart.
==Blood Well: Kynine can control the liquids in an opponent's body, and totally dehydrate them by removing all of their liquids.
==Typhoon: Kynine can call upon the water in the atmosphere, causing a torrential downpour, which aids the Electrikinetic's accuracy and gives Kynine an ample source of water to draw on.
~Relationships: In the human world, was good friends with Kelly Hoth and Mike Rampart at school. In Kinzoku, the three of them have become a group (With Tsyanaye loosely attached to it) due to their shared gender-bending. Albel seems to be happy about the change, Kynine is mildly pleased in a laid-back sort of way, and Mai seems to be having the hardest time adapting. Albel and Kynine in particular help to provide her support. Oh, and she dislikes Mors, as he's far too serious for her.
~History: Mm... pass.
~Other: Stabs with a carrot



RPer: Nabooru23

~Original Name: Kelly Hoth

~Kinzoku Name: Albel Nox (or just Nox... yes, she was playing Star Ocean: Till the End of Time before being transported to Kinzoku XP Told you she was a nerd)

~Age: 15

~Gender: Must.. Gender swap XD Female in human world, male in Kinzoku.

~Human Appearance: Often mistaken for being several years younger than she really is, she's small, only about 5'2", and weighing in at about 100 lbs. She has short, messy red-blonde hair and pale blue eyes. She usually wears baggy jeans and shirts with logos from her favorite video games and TV shows, along with plain white tennis shoes.

~Anthro Appearance: This only pure white, with icy blue eyes and slightly smaller in stature, with less bulky muscles. Is about 6'3" when standing. Can either walk bipedally or quadrapedally. Wears plain black pants and a sleeveless black shirt, with no shoes.

~Personality: Yes, she's the nerdy girl who if seen outside of her room save to go to school, pictures must be taken and sent to the local newsstand, because it only happens once in a blue moon. She spends most of her time holed up with her computer (her most precious possession), her video games (also most precious possessions), and her books (not quite so precious since they're cheaper to replace). She gets bored very easily and tends to do very strange things when bored. Also swears a lot and can't stand being told she can't do something just because she's a girl.

RPer: The_Missing_Link

Original Name: Rebecca DuPont

Kinzoku Name: Reina Icaria

Age: 17

Gender: Female in both worlds

Human Appearance: Rebecca is about 5'8" with long, straight brown hair down to her shoulders. She has deep blue/gray eyes and perfect white teeth. Her skin is a tannish color and has a strong yet subtle build. She will usually be seen in regular white tee-shirts with a brown leather jacket over. She wears long blue jeans and blue sneakers.

Anthro-Appearance: She shrinks to 5'2 and her hair still remains the same color but flecked with blue and gray. Her eyes are now black with a yellow ring around them and her nose is long and hooked with a sharp tip at the end while her lips harden and are a brownish color. Her whole body (sans her face, although it now has a brownish look to it) is covered with feathers: chest and legs white with short black horizontal stripes and her back and wings are blue gray. While her arms become wings, her hands remain, although covered densely with feathers. As for her feet, the sole of her foot remains although now she has sharp black claws: three in the front and one in the black. Although able to stand easily, it makes it rather difficult for her to walk now and resorts to flying more often (as one could imagine, shoes are gone now). She now wears a plain blue tanktop and stretchy (but tight) black pants, making maneuvering a lot easier

Personality: Think of her as the ultimate gamer nerd, obsessed with games like Ocarina of Time and the Mario series. Along with a player's pride when completing a game, she also has the intelligence skills to think things through but has a nasty temper when provoked. Her parents accept her gaming ways as she pleases them by playing sports, as many as she can handle at any one time. Aside from that, she's a fairly quiet person who tries to make everyone happy, but knows when it's a lost cause

~RPer: Crystal Tears
~Original Name: Jewel Cole.
~Kinzoku Name: Shi
~Age: 16
~Gender: Female
~Human Appearance: She has long dark brown almost black hair, tan skin, dark brown eyes. She usually wears a white t - shirt, and dark black pants with a white belt with a silver buckle.
~Anthro Appearance: Her body is covered in a soft fur coat that is a dark brown color, that covers most of her, but thins out about her face. She's much smaller then original, only standing about 5'3. Just below her shoulder, and continues a bit down her back, are wings. A skin like material spreading in-between each elongated finger so they are much like bat wings. Her fingertips seem to form in claws, along with her feet. Which now she stands on the palm of her foot, due to the fact that it seems unnatural to her now to stand the other way. Her toenails grow the same, but a much more like claws.
Ears are long and pointed, much like an elf's. And it seems to restrict the fur from growing on them. Her face is the same beyond that. Expect from the hidden retractable fangs inside her dagger filled mouth. Oh, and her eyes are a deep purple now for some reason.

~Personality: she's a very shi person, in both forms. Being turned in an anthro didn't help much either. She will say some things if important, and she does tend to hit points that show her more out going and creative side. She's a very nice girl, but also has a very mean temper.
~Anthro Species: Bat
~Brand of Kinetics: Atrakinetic
~Powers:
Natural powers:
1) Echolocation
2) Flight
3) Greater Hearing

Kinetic Power:
1) Shadow Fake: You can relate this is double team, all Shi creates identical copies of herself, but instead, they all do things differently, and can very easily confuse an enemy. Only way to tell is that the fakes have no Shadows. Being that they are created from her own, and other things shadows.
2) Demi Energy: Creates a ball of dark energy and throws it at the opponent.
3) Echo Call: Shi calls out a screeching noise that appears in waves of a dark force. It tends to hurt all in front of it.
4) Dark Force: Shi focuses on a opponent or a small group of opponents, which in turn, they start to choke, and make them very venerable, and also causes a great amount of pain.
5) Dark Aura: Shi can make all other sources of light disappear, making it pitch black, and leaving everyone very venerable. She tends to have the advantage in this situation, leaving her opponents open to a shadow fake attack.
~Relationships: she's Nox's friend when she was human and now Anthro.
~History: uuhh... can't think of anything..
~Other: BLAH!
