Introduction
The authority of shapeshifters is what keeps us in line. It is the law, the punisher, and the government. The authority is made up of chiefs. Each chief is dedicated to look over his domain by the laws that were put together and voted on by the chiefs as a whole. They are the acting judge of their area.. But they are the authority as a group. There are 24 chiefs. This provides us with safety, security, balance, and justice.
Or...so it did. In the 23rd district. A new chief was elected after the old had died and he is preparing for a war. A war that has never been seen before by any living soul.. Our books, however tell us that such a thing like this has happened centuries ago, before the authority was made. The new chief wants to bring the old ways back.
This is taking place in district 23 right now. The power crazed chief putting together what seems to be the foundation of a new government. The rumor is that he wants to be the king of us while giving us control of the humans. Turning them into slaves. There are many through out the world that desire for shape shifter dominance and many who are simply for equality. It is up to us to see it through.. Or stop it.. What side will win? The balance lies in your hands...
Shapeshifter Law:
The laws are written in stone. And every shifter has been taught them sense being born. No shifting in front of a human regardless of circumstances. If a shifting is committed within the borders of a district, the shifter's rights are therefor void. Similarly, if the crime is committed in the District, the chief retains jurisdiction, though in some cases involving mass publicity of a shifting, the authority (the 24 cheifs) may have jurisdiction as a whole and therefore is dealt with as a whole.
Chief of District 23
Reserved
The chief is a backwards politician. Powerful, rich, and prideful of his kind. It's his dream to see that shapeshifters get the top chair in dominance over humans, and his goal to make that happen.

The Chief's trump cards. These are the strongest deadliest fighter s he has at his disposal. The 'boss' battles at the end of the game. I recommend a top predator animal form.
The Chief's Enforcers
4 available
He sends these guys out to specifically wipe out a problem. It's their job to do it cleanly and quietly.(Can be assassins or mercenaries but must be quiet about it, the chief wants no evidence leading to him.)
The Chief's Soldiers
unlimited available
Official soldiers of the Chief. Unquestioning order followers. Take orders directly from the Generals. Predator animal forms only.
everyone else
Your character form and story is up to you. Just keep in mind the political goings on above you, it's up to you what you do in response. If everyone decides to be a soldier this role play will get nowhere. We must have civilians as well.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 8 authors
"Thank y-" She was about to say before Namida excitedly cut her off. Hunter looked towards the young shifter with an odd look. She furrows her brow before chuckling. "It is not uncommon for shifters to be around here, Namida," Hunter says softly. She found the girl's fascination odd, Hunter herself growing up around many shifters, even her old head mistress happened to be one.
"Thank you," she repeated to the man.

He then looked back to Namida, slowly walking over to her before crouching down a bit to be at eye level with her, a tooth still poking out from between his lips. "And what, little one, are you?" he asked her. "Normally, I can tell what animal someone is by their scent, but...you are a tricky one." he said to her with a soft smile on his face.
The dagger and sheath that used to belong to Julius had been cleaned of all stains and smells. The blade had been sharpened and polished to perfection. The dagger was Roman in design, probably due to the previous owners name being a huge part of Ancient Roman culture.
The man asked her what gave him away, and Namida blushed a furious red. "Uhh..." She pointed at her lips and then looked away again, obviously very embarrassed with herself. "And my dad...He was a wolf." She muttered very quietly. Luckily for her, she wasn't about to start crying this time. She inhaled through her nose.
He asked her what she was. This made Namida smile slightly. "Ohh...I'd show you but I'm not very good at that." She explained. "I turn into a dhole. It's a bit like a wolf and a fox smashed together. So I'm like a wolf, but red." She hoped her explanation would be enough. She cringed inwardly at her own words. She sounded like a fourteen year old to herself, so she probably sounded even more naive to the adults. She blushed a furious red again and looked at her hands. Maybe she should just be quiet for once.
The setting changes from City Streets to Hidden Laboratory
"What the?!" she muttered loudly. She walked to the door and listened, hearing the chaos outside she decided to stay in the lab, where she believed herself to be safe. Then the smoke bombs went off and it made it hard for her to see and breath. Fighting the urge to scream, she ran to her notebook, grabbed it, and sat down, leaning against her desk while keeping her head down, finally letting out a scream as debris started to fall around her.
From what she knew, things were falling apart, she couldn't hardly see, and there was someone she didn't know in the lab with her. Then the vent of the air ducts burst open and she looked, her eyes widening at what she saw. She scooted away as fast as she could, narrowly avoiding fallen debris that could have pierced her chest at the speed at which she scooted. She found a corner and hugged her knees to her chest with her notebook in between her chest and knees. She didn't come to work to have this happen, so why was it happening? She didn't know, all she wanted was to be told that it wasn't her fault and that she had nothing to do with it at the moment.
The setting changes from Hidden Laboratory to City Streets
Hunter kept her gaze directed towards the young girl in the man, folding her arms across her chest and trying to force a small smile to look...welcoming, if anything at all. She puffed up her cheeks for moments at a time, listening patiently to the conversation. She found it funny how the girl would turn as red as a tomato after her descriptions. Hunter chuckled softly, but barely noticeable.
Hunter didn't have much to say at all. "You're... That Andrew guy, right?" She asks, lifting an arm up from where it had laid folded neatly across her chest only to point a finger towards the man kneeling before the young girl. Hunter eventually let her arms fall to her sides, flipping a curly lock of hair from her eyes as she leaned her shouler against one of the inside brick walls.
He felt the eyes of Hunter on him, watching as if uneasy. He heard her chuckle, and as she started to talk he stood, letting out a slow breath as he did; a breath that did well to hide pain. He then looked at Hunter.
"Yes, my name is Andrew." he said. "Andrew Patterson." he said with a playful fancy bow and a decently imitated English accent. As he bowed, the sleeve of his jacket would naturally crawl up his arm a little, revealing for a split second a very old scar that was quickly hidden by the sleeve as he lowered his arm.
He then looked back to Hunter a tired, lazy look in his eyes as he looked into hers. "Why do you ask?" he asked, raising an eyebrow slightly, a tooth poking from between his lips.

He told them his name was Andrew, in a pretend English accent and a playful bow. As he leaned down, his sleeve slid up his arm slightly, and she spotted a scar on Andrew's arm. She was about to inquire when he tugged it down, and Namida thought best to leave it. He appeared as though he didn't want to answer any questions about that scar. This immediately made Namida cautious. Scars come from battles, and people that have won battles have more scars than the ones that have no experience with the area of fights that he obviously did.
She shook her hair out of her face and fiddled with the zip on her hoodie to keep her hands busy. She watched them out of the corner of her eye, so she could protect Hunter if he showed them a threat. Namida had decided a little while ago that she was going to trust Hunter. She had had plenty of opportunities to attack if she had wanted to. This made her worthy of trust, in Namida's eyes, and she at least knew that Hunter would not attack her. Namida relaxed slightly but stopped fiddling with her zip, and watched Andrew instead.
The setting changes from City Streets to Leydon Park
The Panther shifter walked to a bench by the pond of Leydon Park and sat down, groaning tiredly as he did. He sat there, and watched the people walk by, the ducks waddle along the shore or swim in the pond. For a while, he seemed....peaceful. There was something on his mind. Or... someone on his mind is more of the correct way of putting it.
Since the sudden and recent trauma he received to his head seemed to reset his emotions so that they work, he was capable of feeling more than just the cold heartlessness of what was needed for his job. He could now feel peaceful, happy, sad...love. Yes, it wouldn't have seemed possible, but now the big bad heartless killer could feel love again. And he had fallen in love with the girl who helped him the day after his recent mission.
"Hunter Westwood" he muttered to himself, letting the sound of her gorgeous name wash over him. He had done a little snooping around town, and had managed to figure out her last name. And what a nice last name it was.
He wasn't wearing his mask today, revealing his fair face that was tainted by a single scar running from his cheek to his opposite jaw and across his lips. He leaned back into the bench he sat in, staring at the sky now, watching the clouds.
...............
Hours passed, and still Julius sat on the bench, occasionally moving to get comfortable, watch people, the ducks, the clouds, and now, the stars. He just seemed so relaxed at the moment.
He wished his relaxation wouldn't end....
The setting changes from Leydon Park to City Streets
Hunter smiled a small smile, curious as to what Andrew might reply. I mean, all she had pretty much seen of him, was him getting into fights. She saw the tired look in his green eyes, almost like he had seen everything. She wondered about the tooth as well. He certainly was the oddest of characters. She couldn't help but be curious about the odd man.
Hunter's gaze fell to Namida again, but then traveled back to the dark dressed man.
He then looked again at her. "I actually don't get in trouble that often. But recently..." he shifted uncomfortably underneath his overcoat as if too hot, but he kept it on, hiding himself from the world. "People are beginning to become violent, angry, and even racist against shifters. I'm not sure if those groups have existed for too long, but...I don't want to deal with them." he said with a small shrug.
He then let out a small sigh that hid a mix of pain, tiredness, calmness, and relief. He then moved his arm up towards his chest, looking at his watch. "Whoops. I apologize again, but I must go or I'll be late for work." he said. He then turned and walked towards the window before hopping out of it while muttering something about plants not being able to water themselves. Which meant that he, a big tough guy, worked with delicate little flowers to make beautiful bouquets of colors.
A Week later.............
The curtains of the window somewhat burst open and in popped someone familiar to the two females. Well, he was in his animal form: A black panther. The big cat looked around at the two females, tail twitching faintly behind it as he slowly shifted into his human form: Julius Maxwell.
He looked straight at Hunter, a soft look in his eyes. "I still have to repay the kindness you had shown me." he said to her. "And don't worry about Alyek. By the time he knows I was here, I'll be gone and he won't be able to catch me." he added quickly.
He then looked to Namida. "Hello, Namida. I trust Hunter has been taking care of you?" he asked her. At the moment he was wearing his mask, covering half his face. But after speaking to Namida, he would reach up and lower the mask so that the rest of his face was shown: The fair featured face tainted by the single scar running from a cheek bone and over his lips to his lower jaw.

But after speaking to Namida, he would reach up and lower the mask so that the rest of his face was shown: The fair featured face tainted by the single scar running from a cheek bone and over his lips to his lower jaw.
She shifted her position, then stood, her height falling much shorter compared to Julius'. She looked towards Namida every once in a while. She crossed her arms, and puffed out her cheeks waiting patiently. "Anyways, how do you plan on repaying my kindness?" She smiles a half smile.
"Normally I would repay kindness because of what little honor I had left but you... You're different. It might have been the blow to the head I suffered from Alyek, but it...awakened something inside of me that had been dormant for many years." he said, walking over to Hunter slowly and stopping just barely within arms reach of her.
"However, to repay your kindness...I don't know what to do. So..." he looked her straight in the eye and cleared his throat. "What would you like me to do?" he asked calmly.
Hunter wasn't sure what to do or even how to respond to this, she rocked on her heels as she thought for a few seconds. "I cannot ask you to do anything for me, and even if I did, Julius, I wouldn't know what to ask." Hunter replied.
Hunter quickly pulled her hair up on top of her head using a rubber band she had around her wrist, and creating a big, curly, red mess of a ponytail, ringlets of hair still falling into her face. She sighed and waited for a response.
