Naria
I watch the strange creatures with raised eyebrows, giving Sorren a sideways glance. He’s annoyingly worried – the weapons are supposed to help with confidence, but maybe not in his case – so I growl and use the blaster’s strap to let it sit at my back.
“We don’t mean any harm, we’re just as confused as you,” one of the creatures says. “We all woke up in our own cabins, and we’re still trying to figure out where we are. We were hunting for food, but that’s when we came across you guys. By the way, the name’s Trevor. Who are you two?”
My tail twitching, I force a smile and shake Trevor’s extended hand. “Naria. The softie over here is Sorren. We’re Lupinari.”
“She’s soft too,” Sorren adds, busying himself with straightening his armor. “She just won’t show it.”
I punch him in the shoulder with a growl. “Save it, Sorren. This is not the time.”
He nods, but there’s an annoying twinkle in his eyes.
I ignore it and turn back to Trevor with a sigh. “So, Trevor… we’re all in the same boat, then. Great. Any ideas of what’s going on?” I wrinkle my snout. “Someone who hates us all equally, even though we’ve never met?”
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
@keilah-h alrighty, I wondered XD
Sorren
I stay quiet, muscles tensed, as I squint at the strange creatures. No fur, and no scales or feathers either. But I can’t study their appearance for long, because Naria snarls when they get too close.
“What are you?” she snarls, stepping out into the open. “And I wouldn’t try anything. I see those weapons.”
I wince and step out, putting a paw on her shoulder and giving the weird creatures an apologetic look. “What Naria means is that we just woke up in one of those cabins, and we’re confused. Also, yes, please don’t try anything.”
Naria snorts but she doesn’t shrug me off, so I figure that’s something.
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Idk whether to let someone else go or to go since my characters are being focused on, so… let me know if I should be going at any point XD
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Haha yes XD Thanks! I’ll definitely come back here if I think of anything specific.
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Yeah, I’d say the hunting group for sure!
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
This is amazing! I’m very OCD and the organization is giving me adrenaline XD
I’m currently transitioning from pantsing to plotting as I get into series, so this is really helpful! Thank you!

*me RPing because I’m bored and my charries are loners for now XD*

Whoever dragged us out here is going to meet the sharp end of my sword, up close and personal.
I run my tongue over my sharp teeth and try not to snarl. Sorren’s paw is warm in mine, so I try to focus on that. I remember training with him out behind a cabin in Lupus. He was clumsier then, uneven, and he hadn’t grown into his limbs. Now? I hate to admit it, but he has grown up. AÂ little.
We have to get back to Lacertilia, make sure all the Serpenree stay in check. If we don’t, we’ll have a much bigger mess when we get back. Sure, there are plenty of others helping the cause, but Sorren and I were pulling a lot of weight. Sometimes it seemed like too much. My mind flashes through all the close calls, all the ways Sorren has narrowly avoided death.
“Ow,” Sorren complains.
I wince, realizing I’m practically digging my claws into his paw. I let go and look away. “You’ll be fine.”
A pause from him. I can never tell if I’ve really hurt him. I don’t want to, it’s just… getting too close doesn’t seem like a good idea. Do I really know how much longer he’ll be around? The thought makes me queasy. I don’t care if he’d be beyond the stars with the Phoenix, happy. I don’t know if I could keep going without him.
And I have to admit, that thought annoys me. I shouldn’t have to depend on anyone. I’m a soldier just like he is, and we both made it alone for a long time. Still… I never want to be away from him again. He’s not going to die on my watch.
“You okay?” Sorren finally asks. He nudges my arm, and when I look over he’s giving me a soft smile. “You don’t usually think for this long without checking your blaster is still there, or regripping your sword. And your tail is twitching to the left. You’re distracted.”
I immediately wonder how he notices all those little details, but I decide not to ask. This is not the time to have him flustered. “Yeah, a little. We did just wake up somewhere we’ve never been, with no idea how we got here. I think I’m allowed to be distracted.”
“You’ve missed good prey. I don’t know what they are, but there’s some with long ears and others with long, bushy tails. They could be good cooked, and you must be as starved as I am. You’re usually more… attentive.”
“Yeah, well…” I trail off, ears pricking, and grip Sorren’s shoulder, shoving him behind me. Voices float towards us from somewhere up ahead, unintelligible from this distance. “Quiet. Someone’s coming.”
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
@keilah-h That’d be great XD
@theducktator Ohhh I bet lol
@theshadow Ooh awesome! I would LOVE a pet wolf hahaOkay, here they are, I’ll write them from the beginning like they came out of their cabin. (:
Sorren
I wake up to someone shaking my shoulders violently. Groaning, I blink my eyes open, rolling over to see Naria through a haze. “Please… don’t tell me I passed out.”
Her striking purple eyes dart around, muscles tense. The Zera blaster remains strapped at her back, and her sword and her dagger hang from her belt. We’re in a cabin that feels like the cabins back home, except it’s nowhere near as cold. “I’m not sure what happened, but I don’t like it. We had better not be trapped here.”
“I don’t think it’s a trap. We both still have our weapons.” I pat my sword and plasma knife. “So… something else.”
“Insightful,” she mutters. She stands and hauls me to my paws. I wobble a bit before steadying myself. She smirks. “Graceful as ever.”
“Uh… thanks?”
She draws the Zera blaster, spins it, and checks the magazine. With a growl, she kicks open the door. “I’ve got Zera and plenty of it! Stay back if you want to -” She cuts herself off, her pointed ears twitching, and steps outside.
I follow. Other cabins dot the area, and I catch a scent that’s not quite Lupinari, but definitely not Serpenree. Or any other race. So… what is it? It smells almost like Falcor… maybe birds.
“I vote we don’t go into the other cabins where there might be danger,” I suggest.
Naria sighs. “Of course you wouldn’t want to… nevermind. It’s fine. Blazes, Sorren, get your sword out, you’re practically defenseless.”
“Not with you around,” I point out with a slight smile, but I draw my sword anyway. It’s familiar in my paws after so many years, and I immediately feel more comfortable holding it. “So… into the forest?”
Her smoldering eyes soften a bit when I don’t snap back. “Yeah. Into the forest.” After a moment’s hesitation, she takes my free paw in hers and starts forward, avoiding my eyes. “Come on.”

@theshadow Nice to meet you too!! Haha yeah, I’m a KP veteran, left for a while and now I’m back XD Thanks! Wolves are absolutely my favorite animal. (:
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
@rae Awesome! I’ll wait to see if anyone else has an opinion lol, but here are the characters I would be joining with…
@keilah-h @theshadow @theducktator @princesachronicle22 @I-think-that’s-it?They’re both Lupinari soldiers. Imagine essentially humanoid wolves. They wear silver armor and walk upright on their hind paws. Age is different in their solar system, Orythia, but they each are the equivalent of maybe late twenties/early thirties in human years, I’d say. They’re canon but not exactly referred to as a couple, because everyone is scared to tell them so haha. They’ll both understand terms like “bird” or “lizard” or “snake” (also “beetle”/insect) but beyond that are only going to know the creatures from the planets they’ve been to. So “cat” or “bear” or “monkey”, whatever other terms, aren’t going to make sense to them.
Sorren
Sorren has light gray fur and silver eyes. He has a plasma knife that flickers on its magenta beam whenever he uncaps it as well as his usual sword. He can be angered but usually not very easily, and he’s skilled in battle. The only one known to make him nervous is Naria. He’s a good singer, though he’s not really aware of it, and he and Naria both are working to get the planet Lacertilia back into order after it’s long bout of tyranny and all the prisoners it kept. He’s used to violence but it still tends to make him a little queasy if he thinks about it to much.
Naria
Naria has dark gray fur and fiery purple eyes. She wears a Zera blaster strapped to her back (the Zera trapped within the bullets explodes when exposed to oxygen, AKA on impact with her target) as well as her regular sword and a dagger. She’s a lot more prone to anger than Sorren, and while she acts mad at him it’s just because she’s protecting him. She taught him how to fight since he struggled as a soldier, and when he left to another planet for a mission, she never got to see him again. Then she was told he was dead. Needless to say, she was angry as well as relieved when she figured out he was alive, and has essentially been his bodyguard ever since. Sorren, on the other hand, is just glad to see her again. She’s easily excited by weapons and isn’t afraid of violence if there comes the need for it. She’s just barely taller than Sorren and has a few small faded scars across her snout from a Serpenree’s (think humanoid lizard) claws.
So there they are XD Let me know if there’s anything else I should add??

@princesachronicle22 @rae @theshadow @theducktator @if-there’s-anyone-else-haha
*awkward cough*
I know this has been going for a bit, but would it be possible to join? If it’s too much to remember, totally fine lol, but I have just one couple. I think @keilah-h is the only one who would know these two (and hybridlore, but I don’t think she’s in this rp??). Anyway, if joining is alright, I’ll read through everything and try to get up to speed XD

That would be awesome!! Currently on my monthly newsletter I’m going through each of my planets and their races one by one, so I’ve been doings something sort of similar to that! Having a book out like that would be really cool haha.
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Thank you so much!! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I’m dyslexic, and I told my parents that if I found fewer than fifty editing things I’d be okay lol. I’ve read through the book and saw those errors too, but figured it wouldn’t be worth republishing over since it’s not as many as I thought.
I have at least three books planned, but there are so many different elements that if I wanted to I could go farther with different characters, especially since each book is from a different perspective.
I’m around 85k into the second book, so if I keep going strong I should be done soon! The guy who helps me edit is very back-and-forth on time, so it’s hard to tell how long the rest of the process to take, but I do know it’ll be less than a year from now haha.
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.
Thank you so much!! *enjoys cake*
Thanks!! I’m definitely in love with the cover, though it’ll be difficult to match when I make book 2’s cover. We’ll see what I can come up with XD
