((OOC: This is my first furry RP setup, so any OCC suggestions would be great, otherwise, enjoy! All fursonas welcome, I will try to keep inconsistences limited. I would prefer for your intro post to this thread, make it more than one/two lines. As I am new here, I can't access much of your profile! I need you to be very descriptive with your fursona, and how you ended up in Shadow-Whisper Gardens. Immediate OCC questions, before you post can be asked me via AIM, silverstarrfall , if I happened to ommit an important, relevant detail to your post. Now I digress, Have at it ladies and gents! ))


Shadow-Whisper Gardens is a sprawling 40-acre habbitat, located in the Rocky Mountain foothills, and lowland mountains. It's folliage is primarily massive, hundred year old pines, whose thick trunks provide shelter for a myriad of small creatures. Interspursed are smaller decidious trees, broad-leaved Maples, qwuivering Aspens, and Oak saplings. Closer to the ground, the foliage includes berry-bushes, most every species persists yearound at the lower altitudes of the foothills; However, only the sturdy elderberry and blackberry exist up the mountainside.

At the southern end of Shadow-Whisper, is the garden, for which the entire area is named. Meant to call attention to beauty of the natural floura, the wildflowers, which bloomed in great variety, was one of it's highlights. The spiraling paths of the gardens, take you through it's different partitians.

The Hedge-maze is in the very center of the gardens, if you manage to find your way through it's many twists and turns, you will reach the center, where you will find a small, crystalline pool. It's water sparkles in the sunlight, showing alternating hues of green-blue. It's depth ranges from a few inches, to nearly 30 feet. The water is clean, and fresh enough to drink, but fairly cold, if you are thinking about swimming.

The Rock Garden is east of the Hedge-maze, and runs along a long-dry riverbed, which was the offput of a Glacial melt-off. The Rock Garden, consists mostly of the Delta, where the soil, and rock that the long vanished glacier deposited there. The larger boulders are made of hard Limestone, or Quartz, while the smaller rocks are partially eroded Sandstone. The river bed itself, is dry and cracked, with deep fissures in the sandy soil.

To the west of the Hedge-maze, you find the aforementioned wildflower gardens, these natural blooms dot the foothills, often cropping up amoungst the grass knowls, like splatters of paint. They added a vibrant, colourful addition to the landscape, and the seemingly interminable sea of green grass and tree tops.

If you make your way Northwest, up onto the mountain side, you will find that snow never seems to fully melt there, even in the full summer sunlight. A lot of it is shaded by the pinetree's branches, while other areas the snow drifts are simply so thick, and deep, that even the persistant rays of sun cannot melt through them. Hidden amoungst the forrest are several small caves, housing Shadow-Whisper's larger inhabitants, though many of them, were somewhat secretive, preferring to keep to themselves.

((OOC: Below, a spefic post to my fursona, if you wish to look back at this post for locational details, read only the above ))

Redd crouched close to the ground, her tail swaying slightly, in a rhythmic motion. She dug her back claws deep into the damp soil, preparing to lunge forward. A few yards from her, a delicate blue butterfly was sunning itself on a small gray rock, it fluttered it's wings slightly as a light breeze passed over the mountainside. Redd's toungue curled to the side of her mouth, as she increased her focus, furrowing her brow as she prepared to pounce. She stuck out rather prominantly, against the lush brown and green forrest, with her bright rusty red, and black furr. The white muzzle however, made her have the appearence of just having stuck her face into a snow drift. Redd blinked, her deep blue eyes nearly the same colour as the little insect she was now stalking.

Just as Redd was about to make her move, a twig cracked behind her, and she whipped her head around, a flash of fear crossed over them when she couldn't identify the noises source.

((My first piece of advice is to use a browser with a spell checker, such as Mozilla Firefox (http://www.firefox.com). In this age of Information Technology, we might as well make use of the labour saving applications available to us, and correct spelling can greatly improve the impression a post gives. No offence meant here, I use a spell checker all the time, but I am fairly pedantic.
Secondly, do you have a plot in mind here? Or is it entirely interaction based?
And lastly, do you think you could provide more detail about your character? For example, what she's wearing, how old she is, what her physique is, etc. It makes it a bit easier to visualise your character. I'm going to assume it's the same description as from your introduction thread for now, but correct me if I go wrong.))

Keris
Feline Furre, 19 years old (in human terms).
Keris stands at just over average height, and is of a skinny build. His fur is white, with black markings on the backs of his arms and legs, and black toes. His hair is likewise black, and is tied back in a loose ponytail. He wears a pair of faded jeans and a black T-shirt, his feet unshod.
--------------------

Keris emerged from the undergrowth, pushing the branches out of the way with his hands. He made little attempt to conceal his movement, resulting in more than a few more cracks as his toes found more dry twigs.
He stepped blinking into the sunlight, shading his eyes with his hand, waiting for his eye's to adjust. Once they did, he almost jumped, noticing the figure before him for the first time.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I was just... what I mean is... I didn't mean to intrude, I was out walking you see and, well, I didn't expect to meet..." He trailed off, colouring with embarresment, before plowing on in an attempt to salvage some dignity, "The Garden's lovely this time of year, aren't they? Now, if I may introduce myself, I'm Keris." He offered her his hand, for a shake as much as to help her up, and waited for her to introduce herself.

(( Interaction based :) and Yes, from my intro, its frustrating cause I am used to forums where my full character description is a click away, but since I am new...no dice. I planned on getting more into it, if anyone actually cared to RP with me.

Yea, I use Firefox, but....As English is not my native language, it's difficult to even figure out what words I mean.

Thanks for responding! ))

** Red blinks rapidly, at the sight of him, likewise letting her eyes adjust to the bright sunlight **

"Uhh, I'm Redd" --She says tentatively accepting his outstretched hand, and using it to hoist herself up to standing height. As she releases his paw, she begins to brush off her underbelly, bits of soil and twig were clinging to the shirt, and where it had ridden up slightly. She picked small bits of debris out of her black stomache furr as she said.

"They are, fascinating..." She seemed distracted, as she spoke: "You know, most don't even venture this deep into them" she glanced up at his face, almost to say -- you shouldn't be here -- "I live here, you know. My Pap' is one of the people who manages it's care." She scans his face for a reaction.

((I've never actually put a description on my profile, partly because I don't RP a huge amount, and partly because I'm liable to make a new character for each RP, hence why I preceded my introduction with a description.
Don't worry about the spelling, I will attempt to overlook any errors, I daresay you speak far better English than I do your native tongue!))

"Really? That must be wonderful, to be able to see the Gardens all year round." He seems oblivious to any undertones, his eyes fixed the horizon, watching the treetops sway in the breeze. "I visit here about once a year, and each time I go further in, finding more of nature's beauties."

((Can't think of anything else at the moment, may add to this tomorrow. >.<)

*sighs* I'm sorry, but this thread does not qualify as an "Advanced" RP due to the OOC text. If you wish to have OOC conversations, they belong in the OOC forum. Moving this thread to "Beginner".
