I posted up an extremely revised FAQ! Check it out! And please don't forget to reply to the ACTIVITY CHECK by May 29th!
05.01.2013
Got the new census table up, sorry for the delay! you can find the link in the Bans box below :) And just as a note, spotlights will be posted up within the week!
04.20.2013
Fixed the currency glitch! You should now be able to view the CP in your mini profile table :)
04.20.2013
I hope you all enjoy the new skin! I know it will take some adjusting, getting used to the lack of side-tables, but I hope you all will grow to like it ^^
As it stands, there are a few glitches that I'm aware of that need fixing--one is that currency does not display in the mini-profile table, which I am working to fix. but don't worry! you still have all your CP, and can view it in your profile by clicking "Profile" in the menu bar ^^
The other error is that OOC names in mini-profiles on character accounts will no longer show up, which may be permanent D: I'm sorry, but I will try to find a way to make them work. If you find any more glitches or bugs, please PM me and let me know so I can try to fix them.

VIVIAN
MEMBER OF THE MONTH
Vivian, the creator of a multitude of characters - nine to be exact! - has come back only to dive right back into the fray. She is actively posting many times a week, and is always seen floating around the c-box as well. She is a friendly girl, with a love for playing Retromorphs, as seven of the nine are...that has to be some kind of record! Vivian brings a love of writing to the table, as most of our M-goers do, and is a wonderful piece of our M-family! This is why she is this months Member of the Month!
RILEY SALVATICI
FEMALE OF THE MONTH
Riley Salvatici (played by Rumor) is not your average Fallen girl. Her history is one that very few share, having been brought up in the depths of an organization that fought against the suppression of shapeshifters. This girl is no pushover, and won�t give in. She�s been trained rigorously since the beginning to survive, and possesses a range of skills to help her accomplish her goals. If there is any weakness in her, it�s her undying loyalty to her brother Jonah. But it remains to be seen in the Menagerie whether this is a true weakness, or a burning flame that will give her strength in the trying times they will both have to face.
EAST
MALE OF THE MONTH
East, played by Kriss...well, he wants a little too much, never works a little too hard, and from time to time just pushes it a little too far. This Fulsi scout isn't living up to his ring's ambitious stereotype, and in fact seems to try to hide from it if he can. Trespassers? Spies? Thieves? Isn't that like...hunter work? Still, he endears himself to readers with his skeptical, often humorously deadpan inner thoughts as he makes his way through the Menagerie. That is if the people he's managed to anger don't knife him first! Maybe he should train a little harder in hand-to-hand back in Fulsi before tackling Fallen scouts! (Though we like the odds the way they are!) So keep a close eye on East, and a closer one on your high-end valuables, cause he's our Male Character of the Month!
DENVER AND MONICA
RELATIONSHIP OF THE MONTH
In the short time that they�ve known each other, Denver and Monica have already been through a lot together. Their initial meeting soon sparked a friendship that ignited into romance, both of them bringing comfort to each other in a time where they were most vulnerable. Surrounded in an intensely anxiety-inducing environment, their love for each other has since helped to reduce the stress that arises from it. Monica helped Denver cope with the painful withdrawal from her anxiety medication and the memories that were awoken by it, and Denver in turn helped care for Monica when she fell victim to a virus attack. Overall, their relationship is absolutely adorable, and for that they win Relationship of the Month! Keep an eye out for more of their threads in the future to find out the progression of their new-found love.!
YOUR WORLD IS GONNA BURN
THREAD OF THE MONTH
Your World is Gonna Burn, despite it's foreboding title, is a uniquely touching thread that leaves me simply wanting more. Wanderer and Kajetan, played by Sar and Kriss respectively, are two feline Retromorphs from opposite climates and opposite lives--one of cold mountains and a solitary life, the other of golden deserts surrounded by generations of family. It's interesting watching these two break down barriers as they relate their histories. This thread is full of subtle emotion that evokes the sense of longing for the past, for home, that those living in the dome face everyday.

THE GENOCIDE E A R L Y, Y E A R 2 3 0 0 .
It all began when a secret race was discovered - Shapeshifters. It was thought to be a group, a nomadic tribe of sorts, a small scale gathering of freakish people. It was unknown that all throughout the world, there were others like this small group - millions of other Shape Shifters, living with their gift in secret.
The Government swiftly eliminated this tribe; it was then that the Shifters living amongst the normal citizens rebelled, taking a stand against the universal Government that ruled the entire Earth, called UNIT (Unified Nations of International Technologies, originally a large corporation).
It was then that the genocide began. A call went out from UNIT to all citizens of the Earth - Shape-shifters were to be turned in for 'extermination'. Anyone found harboring a Shapeshifter would be charged for crimes against the government and imprisoned or executed by the State.
And so it was - but that was just the beginning. A group of scientists wanted nothing but to exploit the 'creatures', to learn about their abilities and use it as some sort of a weapon. Imagine the possibilities!

THE EXPERIMENTS L A T E, Y E A R 2 3 0 0 .
Thus began the experiments. The Scientists bartered for the young - any shifter that was 0-30 in age. Anyone older was not accepted. These poor things were put through tests of mental and physical strengths that normal humans could not endure. Most of the teens showed signs of stronger physical abilities, and slightly more primitive minds; more instinctive than deductive.
But where to test these experiments where they could interact normally?
The government scientists devised quite a simple plan; they would relocate the 'creatures'. They constructed a new testing facility; an entire city encased in an enormous glass dome. The city, surrounded by thousand and thousands of miles of huge, standard bullet and explosive proof glass, standing two layers thick, formed a beautifully exact square around the perimeters of the city. The inside hadn't been touched; only the enclosure was now climate controlled (the scientists could change the weather, seasons, anything they so desire).
THE MENAGERIE...now opened to the public eye for viewing of these 'creatures', cameras fixed for observation. You can pay $25.00 a pop to observe their daily fight for survival, $50.00 to take a trip through the labs and observe some of the Scientists at work.
Scientists, peh. The experiments call them "Keepers".

THE RINGS Y E A R 2 3 0 2 . In the short year that the Menagerie has been opened, there have been startling observations; the children of the Menagerie seemed to have formed social groups.
Early in the year, the first experiment released into the Menagerie, by the alias "Manic", created a group called "The Ring", devising rankings and a basic way of life, accepting all types into his Ring. As the numbers swelled, trouble grew - people began to rebel against Manic, reasons currently unknown and swept away in the past.
Two individuals - Anna Whitaker and Kane Hess lead the revolt and seperated, forming their own "Rings". Thus, there were three - called the 'Rings of Order'.
Three of them have yet been formed, and it is presumed that in the future there will be even more.
The original Ring, now called the CarnaRing, led by Manic - a merciless, bloodthirsty group. The FulsiRing, led by Legend - a powerhungry and land-grabbing group and The FallenRing, led by Skye - pacifists, who only wish to survive.

THE MUTATIONS Y E A R 2 3 0 3 .
Day in and day out, survival grows more difficult as the Keepers up the level of challenge. Less food, less supplies. Harsher conditions. And the turmoil increased as a new race was born - a race of anthropomorphics, direct results of a DNA mutation. Anthros are Shapeshifters that have been genetically altered to have animalistic traits: tails, fur and claws. They formed a massive group, called the Bestia, to survive, as most Shifters reject them outright, claiming them to be a "contamination".

THE WAR L A T E, Y E A R 2 3 0 3 .
The three Rings have clashed, at last, in a violent war. The Fulsi, Fallen and Bestia joined an alliance against the Carna. After a bloody, ruthless battle (all keenly observed by the Keepers), the Carna were driven into a retreat, vastly outnumbered - nearly 300 to a mere 100. The Bestia were eliminated.
Strange reports of various test subjects of the Menagerie are pouring in - strange new abilities are popping up. Once known only to appear in the Bestia, these abilities are increasing the strength of the human Shifters, making them even more so a force to be reckoned with. The Keepers are sure to ante up and increase the Shifters struggle to survive in the Menagerie.
Kidnappings, disappearances and horrifyingly new experiments are becoming all the more common...
Peace among the Rings seems prevalent, but - in a wild place such as this...who knows how long such a wonderful thing can last?

THE INFECTION E A R L Y, Y E A R 2 3 0 4 .
"Some call it a plague - others, an epidemic. But we call them monsters."
These...artificial creations that the Keepers call the ARCANE STRAIN. Human viruses. Mutated from artificial DNA and grown, aged and matured inside test tubes and liquid filled chambers, these viruses are spawned by the "Elite", the very founders of the Menagerie.
The Arcane stop at nothing to fulfill their one true desire, their entire reason for existence - to infect, and to kill. They are not human; they may resemble Shifters...but their minds, they know only one thing - to eliminate human-kind. The Arcane are viruses that take on human form, their bodies often twisted and defected with odds and ends of animal parts, sometimes horrible mutations, other times they seem almost normal. And worse of all - they can shift into large, mutated beasts that have more power than Shifters could ever hope to have.
There are, of course, cures for every Virus - but only for the Keepers.

THE INVASION M I D - Y E A R 2 3 0 4 .
A new species has been discovered - and introduced into the Menagerie - Retromorphs. They are animals with the ability to shape-shift into humans, holding the wild instinct of the predator with all the intelligence of mankind. They are direct descendants of the shape-shifters 'ancestors', the origin of the shifting gene. And so they form packs, prides, groups with their own species or those similar within the Menagerie.
For now, they remain at peace with the Rings, if only to eke out a life in this godforsaken place. As starvation and desperation set in, though, how long can peace remain steadfast in the hearts of all?

THE ALLIANCE Y E A R 2 3 0 5 - 2 3 0 6 .
All has been relatively quiet within the Walls - the usual raids, thievery, mayhem, chaos, murder...if you could call that quiet. There have been no new releases of creatures, no rampant diseases (excepting the vicious Viruses).
But there has been a change in alliances though, a surprising twist of events.
Legend, the Fulsi Alpha, was been kidnapped by the Carna. As a show of strength and retaliation for the brutal Carna RAID as well as the kidnapping, the Fulsi (after rebuilding their strength and numbers) then invaded several territories and claimed them as their own. They took over the FallenRing Oasis, Delica Park and the Breathelight Inn, as well as the surface streets surrounding the area.
The Carna and Fallen made an alliance - the Carna to protect and reinforce the Fallen in their times of need in exchange for food and supplies.
« Last Edit: May 18, 2012, 2:03pm by CAPTAIN MOU! »
THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM Y E A R 2 3 0 5 - 2 3 0 6 .
After Legend being returned to the Fulsi, he chose to step down as Alpha as his health declined from being tortured by the Carna. Thus, the Fulsi have been taken over by a new Alpha, Adam Petite. With the addition of his new and harsher rules there have been hints at unrest and unease within the FulsiRing under his command.
The Carna-Fallen alliance is on very thin ice, and the Carna Scout patrols on Fallen territory are becoming increasingly tense. After a Fulsi raid on the Carna's homefront, Sewertown, Manic has been drawing back Scouts from aiding Fallen patrols and in return, Skye (Fallen Alpha) has withheld food and supply trade-offs. No one knows how much longer this alliance will last.

THE RESURRECTION Y E A R 2 3 0 7 .
Rising from the ashes of what seemed a total annihilation, the Bestia have returned; but now they are known as the Nakoma Tribe. Their Chief has returned to redeem herself and bring the Anthros to the top, to end their suffering at the hands of the Carna and Fulsi.
The Nakoma have taken back the old Bestia territory and expanded its borders, proclaiming their strength against opposition and daring the Rings to make a move; the Nakoma grow daily, and with each new member they add to their swelling ranks more and more Anthros who have suffered, to have their sorrows brought to an end. Zephyr, Nakoma Chief, is intent on bringing the Anthros from the shadows to stand amongst the Shifters as equals and invites any Anthro who wishes to join her group and fight for their cause.
