Welcome to The Viper Pit, a large desert city, bustling with traders and merchants! Two races populate the town, humans and werecreatures, who are like humans, but are worse with tools and can shapeshift into one specific species of animal, sometimes having some of that animal’s instincts. Humans make up around 75% of the town’s population, while werecreatures comprise the other 25%. Although the town is ridden with thieves, most laws are created and kept in order by a group called the Circle of Shields, who’s leader is a mysterious figure who is said to live in a large stone spire near The Viper Pit, the headquarters of the Circle. This town has existed in a precarious balance, but recently, the Circle of Shields has started taxing werecreatures more than humans, and people are starting to notice…

World Details: These will be useful for the RP, and help you make your character! Please read!

Races:

Show hidden content

Humans: Humans look like, well, humans. They are quite skilled with tools, usually having a favoured one. They make up 75% of the population.

Werecreatures: Werecreatures look like humans, but have the tail of the creature they can become. They can transform into a single species of animal, but are generally quite clumsy with tools, due to some of their animal instincts. They make up 25% of the population. They age the same as humans.



Places:
Show hidden content

The Bazaar:Many traders come here to barter and sell items. You can purchase and sell random items here! Many thieves also wander this area, so watch your goods!

Dragon’s Head Tavern:You can buy a bite to eat or something to drink here. Lots of people like to come here and gossip, so you can get all sorts of information.

Topaz Palace:An inn that you can sleep and stay in. You can rent a room for one gold piece a night, and it's relatively safe and hard to steal items and information in here.

The Leopard’s Paw:A general store where you can buy things like fruit and adventuring materials.

The Hammer and Anvil:A blacksmith shop where you can buy weapons and armor, and everything made of metal in general.

The Temple:A place where monks come to study religion. You can buy things like ink, parchment and jewelry here, as well as learn about their religion.

The Task Board: People put up tasks and quests that they need finished. If you take the task paper off of the board and meet the person who requested it, you can help them out and earn some money!

The Wall:The Viper Pit is surrounded by a hard to climb wall with 2 gates, one leading to the farms and the other to Shield Spire. Guards from the Circle of Shields keep watch here and see what you have going in and out of the town. It’s mostly to keep creatures out than to keep people in, because even bird werecreatures wouldn’t be able to get very far in the desert, as the only water nearby are the local oases.

The Oasis: In the center of The Viper Pit is an Oasis. This is used as a well for people to get clean water. Swimming in it isn’t allowed!

The Password: Put your favourite pokemon and a reason why in other for the password! I just hid it here haha.

The Farms: About an hour’s walk away from the town is a collection of farms, centered around another Oasis. Many of the citizens of The Viper Pit work there during the day.

Shield Spire: About an hour’s walk away from The Viper Pit. It’s a huge hollow rock spire which is the HQ of the Circle of Shields. It is heavily guarded, although no one except members of the Circle have a reason to go there. Supposedly, the mysterious leader of the Circle of Shields lives here.



Important NPCs:
Show hidden content

Grank: A big and burly but kind human. Owner of the Hammer and Anvil, and a skilled tradesman.
Merek: A small and determined werelizard, who is apprenticed to Grank. She’s determined to master forging, despite the fact the werecreatures are generally bad with tools.
Ulano:One of the human head monks at the temple. Acts very wise, but half the time, no one knows what he’s saying.
Kyra:A werebird (sparrow), and owner of the Leopard’s Paw. She is a hard worker.
Valto:A human, owner of the Dragon’s Head Tavern. He’s sort of greedy with money.
Pralta:One of the high ranking members of the Circle of Shields. Strictly enforces law, and a talented fighter.



Extra:

The main religion/belief is that there is a human god, Honum, and a werecreature god, Amalis who were brothers. They protected each other from the evil dark, with Honum‘s resourcefulness with tools, and Amalis’s ability to transform into any animal. Honum blessed people with tool proficiency and Amalis gifted werecreatures with the ability to transform into an animal. The common belief after this is that they went away to a cave and fell into a deep slumber.

The town ‘government’ is the Circle of Shields, a fully human group. They try to stop thieves and protect the town’s borders from dangerous creatures. In return, citizens of The Viper Pit are expected to pay 5 gold pieces a week per household, which is collected every Sunday evening. The Circle of Shields is beginning to tax werecreatures more than humans.

The currency here is in copper, silver and gold pieces. One gold piece is the equivalent of 10 US dollars, a silver equal to 1 US dollar and a copper to 10 US cents.

Take a look at the Important NPCs section to get a good idea of typical names!

If one parent is a werecreature and the other is a human, you aren't a mix, you are just one, which is random.

Username: LucarioLover99
Name: Loparu
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Race: Werecreature
Favoured Tool: None
Animal: Coyote
Appearance: Messy brown hair and relatively short. Has his tail cut off.
Personality: Has a strong sense of justice. He’s clumsy with a weapon, but he is resourceful and fast. Has a soft spot for poor people. He gets really anxious really easily, and doesn’t have any good friends. He's a really good leader, but doesn't know it yet.
Backstory: He was poor and young and wanted to be part of the Circle of Shields, because he wanted to bring justice to the town and protect everyone. However, even though he matched all other qualifications, they only recruited humans, so he cut off his coyote tail. He’s been training with them for a month. He’s excited to one day meet the leader and go to the Spire, but hasn’t so far. He’s really worried someone will discover that he’s a werecreature and kick him out. Now that the Circle is taxing werecreatures more, he doesn’t know what to think.
Items (Including Money): He owns 20 gold pieces and 50 silver ones, which he keeps in a brown leather bag. He also owns an iron dagger, which he is clumsy with, but is practicing hard to use. He owns a notebook, ink and pen, just in case.
Other: Lucario, cause I like it’s colours and it’s strong and cool looking.
Questions: Nope!



I live in the Pacific Timezone btw, just so you know when I might be on site. Again, just 1 character per person!

Oh, forgot to say! If you are a child of a human and a werecreature, you just are one and not a mix of both, sorry I forgot to say! Other than that, looks good.

Also the answer is 21 19

Its good, but you didn't read the world details properly. Also, not sure about the horns, and you have to let me know what she looks like as a human, not an animal.

If you earn money, it would be good to change your form, just to keep track. But its not necessary (im gonna do it though)

@Zander, Accepted! Also to answer your question, I guess there might be a little mistrust depending on the people, but for the most part, the races live in harmony. However, the Circle only accepts humans.

So many people ! I gotta read, slow down XD (no jk this is great)

@SensGirl25, Accepted! I might ask you a few questions about your character though.

For farms, no food is provided you have to pay for it all yourself.
