welcome to your new hell, Welcome to the Menagerie. Or as we like to call it, Dome Sweet Dome! We are an eight-year strong futuristic shapeshifter and sci-fi creature roleplay, dedicated to bringing you a world unlike any other; a world in which your character has become an experiment and must fight for survival in a domed city, cut off from the rest of the world. Choose to be any animal in your fight for survival in an artificial world built by the Keepers as they subject you to experiments beyond your control. Choose to wander the world inside the walls alone, as a Rogue, or find safety in numbers in one of the groups known as Rings. How will you survive?

WIN or FAIL will be held on the 15th of every month!
Now, what exactly is WIN or FAIL? Basically I'll be randomly selecting characters from the Reserved Names List and they'll either get a helping hand or they'll get hurt - your character will either get a reward, or some sort of good event will befall them, etc. If your character is selected for FAIL, an unfortunate event will befall them.
You must rp out any event your character is given. No worries, it's nothing too severe - it may range from an injury or simply points being taken off.
I'll post them each month here, but also may make room for it in the side-bars c: So check here~
Note; the events won't always be the same!
If it IS a matter of points and the account doesn't have enough, I'll deduct from OOC accounts or other accounts you may have.
*fails at explaining things*

You find a perfectly good meal lying around: A gift from the Keepers. It's enough to feed a large amount of people! You can keep it for yourself, or share it with your Ring or someone close to you.
FAIL ;; IVAN CARRIEDO
Unfortunately, you have fallen out of favor with the Keepers. I don't know what you did, but they sure seem angry! They have created a tiny thundercloud that will follow you around for at least one thread (THIS MUST BE PLAYED OUT IN CHARACTER), constantly raining and singeing your hair with minuscule lightning bolts. How miserable!
Congratulations! The Keepers are feeling pretty generous today. You've got yourself one free weapon under 400 CP!
FAIL ;; ECLIPSE
During a border patrol along Analoya Tribe territory, you were caught in an ambush and, having been out numbered and alone, beaten and left to die (but not without a fight!). You survived the horrific ordeal, but are left with a severe injury to your right foreleg and a deep, bloody gash in your side. Infection may set in.
In your next (or current if able) thread, you must roleplay, IC, through with this injury.
Congratulations! While on patrol, you found a INSERT WEAPON NAME HERE! Might want to wipe the blood off it first!
(Basically you get a free weapon at the shop for under 400 points.)
FAIL ;; CHARMEIA ANTONI
Whilst making a tour of the Fulsi borders, you stumbled across a hive of rather overprotective and disgruntled bees. You find yourself in quite a predicament - being pursued by a swarm of angry bees - whatever shall you do? Hopefully not trip~
Oh, you brazen Bellator you! Braving the Analoya! Oho! Today is your lucky day! You stumble upon a stash of items and choose one that appeals most to you - but not before being discovered by Analoya softpaw Nemo - despite your flight instinct kicking in, you stick it out - he is after all, half blind.
(basically - you get a free item of your choice after rp'ing this thread out XD)
FAIL ;; CASEY DELANEY and SILVER VALLAS
Ogawd, Casey - if you didn't have bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all :c Trying to be a good Scout, you venture out alone (not so smurt) and whilst patrolling the Carna borders you stumble across the still warm body of a dead Carna. Simply checking to see if they are still living, Silver happens to spot you in a rather compromising position - with your hands on his dearly departed buddies neck.
Congratulations, Royce! While out patrolling like the good Fulsi Scout you are, you stumble across a mysterious box! The stench of the Keepers almost radiates from it, but you bravely open it anyways… and find a completely new outfit, made of sturdy, quality fabrics! Won’t you be cozy this coming winter?
(+ One Free Outfit from the shop)
FAIL;; HECATE SOTERO
Oh no! While out and about, you encounter the nightmarish, GHOULISH…..STICK OF STRIFE. Yes, this humble piece of wood seems to mysteriously pop up in the worst places, causing utter mayhem. There’s no way to avoid the Stick of Strife, and you trip, taking a dramatic tumble that lands you on the ground, your leg gashed on the Stick’s close cousin, the Detatched Tree Limb of Terror. Good luck picking those splinters out... :<
(In your next thread, you must deal with an infected wound!)
The Keepers are feeling especially nice and have selected you to choose the skill of your choice - for once, you, a Shifter, have a choice! Admittedly it's as to what invasive surgery you get 8D But. Beggars can't be choosers, aye?
+ 1 free BASIC skill. Check the shop for the basic skills. Redeem in the 'refund/redeem board'.
FAIL ;; DESIDERO DESOTO (D4)
ONOES. The Stick of Strife strikes again! You've taken quite a blow to your Wernicke's area and all your words are coming out wrong. You're stuck speaking gibberish until the Keepers can fix you up.
For the next thread your character can speak in gibberish only!
Last Edit: Oct 20, 2010 8:30:27 GMT -5 by mo money
The Keepers are feeling especially nice (yet again? Oh, my) and have selected you to choose the mutation skill of your choice - for once, you, a Shifter, have a choice! Admittedly it's as to what invasive surgery you get 8D But. Beggars can't be choosers, aye?
+ 1 free MUTATION skill. Check the shop for the basic skills. Redeem in the 'refund/redeem board'.
FAIL ;; CALVIN LOVETT-LAURENCE (C1)
Lucky, lucky you. The Keepers have chosen you as a little experiment and implanted a device just underneath your skin that effectively disables any extra abilities and skills they have given you. The effects are temporary, but lets see how you fair without your genetically altered talents.
For the next thread (only) all of Calvin's Basic, Mutation, and Evolution skills are disabled!

APRIL WIN: Congratluations, Fletcher! Whilst stumbling around the forest you happen to come across a rather large rock with a sword stuck in it! You go to pull the sword out, but your hands, unfortunately, become glued to the hilt. Damn those Keepers, luring you with shiny objects. They sit there and laugh at you for a while, before freeing your hands and taking you back to the lab to give you a new skill.
(You must play out this thread with the two Keepers, and you then get a free basic skill of your choosing).
FAIL: Oh, you must have really done something to anger the Gods today, Tain! First, you tripped over a rock while hunting/scouting in the Bellator territory, spraining your ankle. In the process, you happened to startle a rhino retro, who isn’t at all pleased that there’s an intruder in his territory! You better run, because he intends to chase you all the way out of Bellator, regardless of your sprained ankle. Sorry about your luck, and watch out for that horn!
(You must play out this thread before starting any new ones and any resulting injuries that may follow will last for three threads. The Rhino will be NPC'D by a staff member. ).

OHNOES! While wandering around the Carna Ring bay, you were attacked and wounded by a hideous Lobster Monster, a creature that at one point may have been human, but is now grotesquely deformed with animal parts from his former-shift! I wouldn't stare at those eye-stalks if I were you, and watch out for those claws!
You must include your wounds from the Lobster monster in one of your threads!
WIN:INNOCENZA NERONE. Oh what's this? A package has been carefully wrapped and placed at your bedside. Underneath the plain brown paper wrapping hides an object or weapon that you've been longing for since you first arrived in the Menagerie. Strange that someone would know that. Perhaps the note that said "Hey baby. I was going to give you a pair of my underwear but I figure this is second best.", wasn't just a practical joke.
(+ one free weapon, redeem in the REDEEM board)
FAIL:KITTY RICHMOND. Oh no! The Keepers have decided to perform one of their twisted little experiments on you. They’ve given you a mood-unstabilizer known as Tiger’s Blood, and as a result, you’ve developed some sort of ‘Hulk Syndrome’ where you have become unreasonably angry and convinced that you are now invincible. This leads to you traipsing right into the heart of Analoya and challenging the not-so-friendly kitties that live there. Here’s hoping you live to tell your harrowing tale!
While out in the forest one day, you happen to accidentally trip in a rabbit burrow. Cursing whichever lousy rabbit decided to dig the hole right where you could conveniently step in it, you decide to see if the rabbit still lives there (perhaps so you can roast it?). However, when you poke your head in, you find no creatures inside. It’s not empty though – there is something fabulous hidden away in there, safe from prying eyes, until now! You may have a sore toe, but it’s worth it, trust me.
+1 free weapon under 300 CP. Redeem in the ‘refund/redeem board’.
FAIL:PEBBLE
Today is just not your day! You've been knocked upside the head and knocked your optic nerves real good, either in a fight or on accident, and lost your sight! No worries, it's not permanent, so long as you see a Medic or Keeper. Hope you weren't in the middle of anything too critical!
Character blind until they are healed, may last more than one thread if you choose.

Today’s your lucky day! …or is it? Depends on how you look at it. As it were, the Keepers decided to take interest in you of all the people they could’ve chosen from the dome and have bestowed you with a gift (though some might call it a curse). After they finished poking through all your tissues and organs, you now have a new, extraordinary ability. Perhaps it makes you stronger, or faster. Who knows? Maybe it’ll make you spontaneously combust. Haha, just kidding. Like I said, you’re one of the lucky ones today.
+ 1 free BASIC skill. Redeem in the ‘refund/redeem board’.
FAIL:BLAZE WHITNEY
Ever wake up and just forget how to do something right? You've seemed to have outdone yourself, and can't seem to shift to human after waking up as an animal! There's track marks on your arms though, so it seems the Keepers might be up to something! Don't worry, it will wear off in a day or so.
Must play out a thread entirely in animal form!

Lucky you! You found 200 CP just lying around! Find out who it belongs to? (Gift to another member?) or take it for yourself and run! + 200CP to you or the member of your choice.
FAIL:CHARMEIA ANTONI
It seems that you've been struck by the love bug! No, really. The Keepers have invented a bug whose bite can inflict a powerful sense of infatuation with another person. Unfortunately for you, the prototype is malfunctioning. When you are bitten, you are instead infatuated with the inanimate object nearest to you! Love crazy over whatever thing it may be, you jealously guard it from everyone around you until the love bug's venom wears off.
Must play out this scenario in a thread!
Chosen by random number / letter generator. Written by Noxx.
An acquaintance of yours is practicing a magic trick by attempting to pull a rabbit out of their hat. Their brow knits in concentration as they reach into the hat, and everyone leans forward in anticipation. Unfortunately for them, their ‘rabbit’ instead appears to be some random object (which they obviously weren’t expecting). They toss the object to you as they frantically upturn the hat and then search the ground for their little lost bunny. You, meanwhile, hug the object to your chest happily – it’s all yours now. Congratulations.
+ 1 free item equal to 300 CP. Redeem in the ‘refund/redeem board’
FAIL:ISKANDER SAHIN
Oh dear, seems as though the Keepers are at it again! This time, they’ve given you something to turn your brain topsy-turvy and now you can’t tell left from right. Your fellow shifters are now humans out to get you, the Keepers are now robots, you no longer think you’re in the Menagerie, and you’re experiencing all manner of other delusions (similar to if you were on a really bad acid trip, actually) – god only knows what your brain will think up next. Here’s hoping you don’t manage to anger anyone in the process, because then you’ll really be in trouble!
