Edit: It would be good if you read all my comments in this thread. I develope this RPG as more questions arise, and I mostly post them when I accept or decline sign ups. XD
Loosely based on my fic that I've started called Midnight. The prologue is the start that I have posted here, but the plot is different.
I clenched my fingers, pushing my nails deeper into the palm of my hand. Anything, anything to make it stop; I have suffered too long. I stood there, breathing heavily, arms wrapped tightly around my chest for warmth, waiting for It too appear. I’d fight it this time; I’d show it that it couldn’t rule my life. I shivered; the air had suddenly gotten colder. I braced myself. It was here.
With a sudden energy my nails started to grow, the blunt ends pushing against my palms to force my hands apart. I gritted my teeth and strained against it, releasing one hand to push the nails of the other down. I wouldn’t let it win. With a stab, the familiar pain began in my left shoulder, a teeth aching agony that sent me to my knees. I fought to get on my feet, but my joints cracked, sending me tumbling back down onto the cold cellar floor. With another bout of agony that made me feel as if my skin was on fire, fur rippled up my back, silky black but wiry to the touch. There wasn’t much time left. I gave up on my hands; gasping, I looked around the floor for the knife I’d left, hidden underneath a chequered table cloth. Seeing it about a foot away from me I gathered up my remaining strength and lunged, my suddenly sharp claws screeching across the stone, slowing me. It knew what I was doing, and it wasn’t going to let me succeed. With a cry I fell, a sudden, gnawing pain digging at my temples causing me to writhe on the floor, inches away from my goal.
“No, not this time! No more! I won’t let you do this! It is over!” A hoarse voice, my own, broke through the quiet of the underground, accompanied by a snarl of rage. With the last of my strength, born from desperate anger, I grabbed the knife, bringing it swinging towards my left arm. If I could just do this, forget the pain, fight my cowardice, I’d be free. The pain in my head increased, but I carried on, sobbing as my swing gained momentum, blade angling-.
CRACK
There was a strangled scream, a clatter as the knife dropped to the floor.
Everything went black.
***************
Blackness. Complete blackness. No light could penetrate this dark.
Black as midnight...
Two golden eyes glowed in the darkness, searching, peering through it, looking for something or someone. Its gaze alighted on what it was looking for and it laughed. It had found me.
I shrunk away from its gaze; backing up until I hit what I guessed was a wall, if there were such things as walls in this place. The eyes came closer, drawing level with mine a couple of feet away. There was a flash; I saw a muzzle, black lips drawn back to reveal yellow teeth in a snarl. I shrunk back even more. It laughed at my fear, the image fading into black.
Foolish, Katie, foolish. You know better.
I gritted my teeth, hating myself for failing, and tried to stop shaking. That was my last hope, the last of my will power. I slumped. I couldn't do it. I'd never be free. I took several deep breaths. If only I was stronger; If only I had the courage... But there was nothing I could do now. Nothing, but obey. I rubbed my face in my arms and looked at it. The eyes were at an angle, as if its head was cocked listening. It laughed.
You're at the end of the line. You knew it was hopeless, yet you tried anyway? Why? Why waste the energy?
Teeth flashed as it yawned lazily.
You knew it wouldn’t work, you know this is what is meant to be. You’re the vessel. You were born to house me.
Its last word/thought was accompanied by a low growl. I spat at it, my anger rising. It dodged, shaking its head.
“I was not born into anything, you lying cheating beast! Let me be, release me! I will never stop fighting you!”
Its laugh that had started at the beginning of my outburst quietened down at my last words. A rush of anger emanated from it as it stood to tower over me; lights flashing I hid my eyes as it bore down on me, jaws agape. There was a long, low growl, like thunder in a storm at sea, that rose into an ear splitting roar. I tried desperately to clutch at my ears, to stop the pain and block it out, but my limbs were frozen in place. After a minute it died down, and the beast sat again with a sigh.
Why won’t you accept it? You were born into this role; I smelt it on you the first time we met. You have the blood. You should consider it an honour.
I opened my mouth to speak again, but the eyes began to fade.
Everything will become clear soon, Katie. On the night of your birth. Don't forget...
Its voice faded on its last words, leaving me alone in the silence and the dark. I pulled my knees up to my chest and cried.

Situation
Around this world, different people of different ages have been bitten. Katie is just one of the few. Over the next few months, they start having black outs, experiencing extreme pain and start to see the changes (of turning into what they were bitten) happening, as they each get taken over by their beasts. When the changes are complete, the beasts mind (which was transferred in the bite) has control. You can role play the beast. Each has been taken over for a reason; the reason will be revealed as the RP moves on. Your character is one of the few.
Where you start
Your character has been experiencing the changes and pain at night for a while now, and has started seeing glimpses of the beast that has taken them over. They can’t stop the changes, can't resist, and any attempt at self-harm is not taken lightly by the beast. They don’t know what the creature is doing inside them; they are only just becoming aware of it. Katie is the most developed of the lot, and I will be playing her.
Edit: You can now have a new type of character, one who has seen the people transform into the beasts, but don't transform into beasts themselves. They can be goverment agents, random bystanders, whatever. There will be a maximum of five slots for them.
Setting
Each character is from a different land/country, which each has a different beast. A maximum of two for each country I think will be enough. This world is technologically advanced, including the islands. The land is made up of one big continent, called Edeko, and a few islands off of it called Hepa (home of the bear), Mestei, and Castas. They cluster together to the west of the main land, and are riddled with rivers, lakes and floodplains. The people who live there travel around in canoes; they work together with nature, and try to protect it. They use water power to get their power, and use electricity wisely. When tourists from the mainland visit they must obey their laws; if they break them, they are warned, fined, then kicked out of the country.
As this world is the second one to have existed (finds over the years have indicated there was a previous land, that, when they reached the height of their civiliation, died because of a sudden event that has since been determined as a heat wave) there was no oil, gas, or other hydrocarbons left for them to use, so they never learned about it, and found a different way to create energy. Solar power.
The mainland is made up of five countries: Rio, Mana, Tewa, Fhan, and Tego. Rio is waste desert land, dry, and parched in the center of the continent, where the solar panels power provide most of the energy of the five countries. The people who live there have been made rich off of the solar power buisness, so live in luxury despite the conditions. The beasts of the desert, the Jackals, live there. Mana and Tewa lie on either side Rio, and are made up of grass plains miles wide. The people in these are made up of mostly breeders, who breed and guard the animals, which they later kill and sell, but it also contains farmers, who struggle to make a living from the tough soil. They are the home of Hyena. You can choose to be in either country. Fhan is to the south of the continent, and is made up of mountains. The people that live are technologically advanced, and work with developing technology. This land is the home of the Cougar. The last country, Tego, is the home of the wolf. It is made up of forests. The people there make a living off of forestry, which is slowly but steadily eliminating the forests.
Your characters must fit into the country where they will live, so keep that in mind when writing your sign up.
Your character will not know what happens when they transform at first, but as the roleplay goes on they will be able to see what is happening, then when they become one with the creature (which happens after a while, I'll tell you when they will start becoming one) they think with the creature and understand it, and also get some input., They communicate through thoughts, though the creature can choose whether to let the person hear the thoughts, whilst the person has no choice. The creature can take over whenever it wants as well, though mostly does it at night. I'll give you your plots to follow when the roleplay starts.
