Not open for further replies.
OOC- Ok Im Back. Thank You RyuKun. ;)

Also, any signups are accepted.

IC-

I crept through the alleyways in the form of a sleek black panther. It was raining. Scuffled by the rain, I hid under a tin roof held up by two stiff planks2. The wind blew harder and harder. I transformed into an eagle and flew through the rain3. I looked around for a while, only finding the streets filled with rain. Prague definately changed scince I was last there4. I saw a forest nearby and decided to land. Still airborn, I transformed into a fox and jumped straight down from the air. A trampled through the weeds so my paws didnt get stuck. I dug a hole under a huge tree and fit myself inside it. I drifted to sleep quickly5.

---------------------


1 - So you know, I am in Prague.

2 - It was still pretty damp inside of that "Shelter", but it was better then nothing.

3 - I dont think you would want to get hit in the head by a tin roof either.

4 - Ive been gone for 20 years. what do you expect?

5 - Im sure you would be tired too if youve been searching around for an imp.

OOC2-
Sorry for the short post guys. Im hurrying before my mom catches me online. XD

EDIT: Also can transfromist turn in to exstinct creatures?

Andronis flew through the air, looking for an aquantance of hers.....Bartimaeus.

He was always very difficult to find, espically it seemed in the morning.

Perhaps he liked to sleep in, or maybe she just wasn't too good at finding things.

Andronis settled herself onto the branch of a tree, whose base was hollowed out.

"Bartimaeus!" she cupped her hands and yelled loudly. "We need to talk!"
 
OOC- Sign ups are always open!

IC-

My ears perked up. I ruffed up my fur and left the tree. Somebody was calling my name. I transformed into a lion and roared loudly, signalling my presence. I sat quietly and waited, listening to the noises around me. I sniffed the air and waved my tail swiftly, yet gracefully. I looked around me and examined the area. I roared again, and continued waiting with my tail waving gracefully. I got up and walked back and forth. I smelled the air once again. I smelt something that was like meat. Interested, I followed the scent6. I sniffed what looked like beef and pawed at it. I went to walk away and my paw snapped a stick. The next thing I knew, I was stuck in a net in a tree. I roared loudly in struggle to get loose.

-------------------

6 - Ok, im wierd. Now shut up, stop reading this, and read whats above!
 
Name- Zephaniah Xylon (Zeph for short)
Gender- Male
Side- Kitty
Age- 17
Main Form- Human


Personality-
He is very biased against human, believing them to be extremely weak creatures. Because of this he prefers big and powerful forms. He is also biased against any really small creatures because of it. He is a very fun person to be around if you are his friend. He's also very lazy. Lazy to the point of wanting to sleep when in danger sometimes. He is almost never in his Main Form because of his biased thoughts.


Appearance-
When he was born, he had a major deformity. His legs were stunted to the point of being totally useless. For some reason or another his parents never even tried to find some way to fix them. He has pale white skin and dark black hair. He looks very sickly also. His eyes are a crystal blue color. He often wares a red and black sleeveless shirt, and tan shorts.


History-
For the first seven years of his life, he was in a deep depression because of his deformity. Then he learned how to transform. With that came freedom, power, and revenge. With his new power he took out his revenge on any one who had ever crossed him. Eventually, at some point during his rampage he was found by Kitty. He joined her purely for the fun and excitement that ensued. And the fact that on her side he felt like he finally broke the bonds that held him to normal society.
 
Andronis jumped slightly as she heard the roar of a lion. "Talk about a way to get someone's attention." she muttered scartastacally.

Diving down from the tree she pulled up gracefully, and shot through the trees.

"If I remember right, I don't believe there are lions in the forest so that means...." she spead up suddenly as she realized who that might be.

"Bartimaeus?" Andronis wondered at the sight of a lion stuck in a net. "You actually fell for that kind of trap?"

She flew to where the net was tied on one of the branches. "If I help you what'll you give me?" the imp grinned.
 
I snarled. I didnt like the fact that it was Andronis who was "saving me". "Three silver coins." I grinned, knowing how greedy imps are. "Also, if you must know, it was a stick that set it off. Ok, just get me down from here a-" I said, but was cut off. I heard something nearby. I transformed into a Tibetan Wolf7 and knawed at the net. It wouldnt snap. I pawed at it a bit and tooked to Andronis. "Please just get me out of here." I growled. I heard something nearby again. I perked my ears up. "Queezle?" I said quietly. I shook my head. No way it could be Queezle. I hadnt seen Queezle for years. Actually, I hadnt seen Nathaniel in years either.

Me...
 
Andronis pondered over this for a moment. After all it wouldn't do for him to think she was letting him off easy.

"Fine...three coins it is then." she pulled a dagger from her waist and cut through the rope easily enough.

She heard something coming, so instead of haggling Bartimaeus for more money like she would have, she turned her attention ahead.

"Something is coming....Should we fight or flee?"
 
OOC-

Your accepted Callandor.

XD

IC-

I landed on my four paws gladly. Andronis asked whether we fight or flee. "We stay. Dont fight, dont flee." I said. If it was actually Queezle, I needed to stay, and I didnt want to attack Queezle.. I squinted my eyes and saw something moving in the forest. I transformed into an eagle, and flew up. I saw the figure and landed back with Andronis8. "I think its Queezle." I said to Andronis. "I know Queezle is dead, but do you think she might still be alive?" I added. I ruffled up my feathers and transformed into a Lynx.

Zeph woke up at hearing the sound of a lion roar. But he wasn't concerned with that. The only thing he cared about was the amazing nap he had. "Man, do cats know how to sleep or what!" he exclamed. He streched and yawned. "Now.....why did I wake up again?" He puzzeled this over for a minuite. He rembered it involved a sound of some sort. Could it have been Kitty calling me? he thought. No. She wouldn't have called me, she would have kicked me, what with the fact that I'm a cat. "Ah, who cares," he said to no one. "Time to train! Now, how should I do it this time." He thought for a moment. Then he thought for another moment. Then another. And another. Finaly, he came up with an idea. And pushed it away saying "I did that yesterday." Then he came up with an idea. "Total indurence training." he said. See Total Indurence Training consisted of turning into something really big, and then running into as many large objects as possible. "Now, what should I turn into....hmmm...." He smiled evily, and wispered "Woolly Mammoth. heh he." Once in Mammoth form, he turned to the woods next to him. He let out a really loud trumpet and charged in, smashing anything that got in his way.

Ooc: hope it's okay if he transformed into an exstinked creature.
 
Andronis thought it over. "If she's dead it couldn't be her right? Unless of course she didn't really die?"

She sat on the branch and crossed her legs.

"Truth be told I'm not really sure what to make of this, nor of the fact someone snuck into my room last night." Andronis sighed. "Someone went through a lot of trouble to steal a small statue."

She suddenly giggled. "What's the world coming to? Don't people know they shouldn't steal from me?"

Obviously she didn't think herself wrong in the least for stealing, but anyone who stole from her was.

OOC- Hehe, she's a fun character to write. :)
 
OOC- Sure. Zeph could transform into a footstool if he wanted to. Just Be Creative and you can even transform into made up creatures. =D

IC-

I nodded. The figure spotted me and Andronis. It walked forward. "Bartimaeus? Andronis?" The figure said confusingly, looking at the two. "Queezle?" I asked. To approve of my question, the wolf nodded. It was Queezle. I transformed into my favorite form, a giant golden and silver cobra with off-white wings9. Queezle nodded. I turned around and walked while Queezle followed. "You coming Andronis? We need to go get those silver coins. Also, theres somebody I have to see." I said.

---------------

9 - In Prague,where you'd see the priests tumbling down the pyramid steps or diving into alligator-infested lakes to escape my mesmerising sway, I would use this form. Didnt have quite the same effect on my team.
 
Andronis sighed.

A snake...figures. She shuddered.

Andronis had a very healthy disrespect for the creatures, ever since she was younger and had a bad encounter with one.

Think of the coins, think of the coins! She repeated over and over in her head like a mantra. "Sure, sounds fun...." Andronis mumbled and followed, close enough to be in range of conversation, but not too close.

"You know, last night I came across this strange statue." Andronis decided to leave out the part about how she stole it. "I usually have one or two areas in my home where I can hide things, and no one could find them." she paused.

"Someone with a lot of magical energy broke in, it had to have been them who stole it. What I want to know is why for just a statue, they stole nothing else, and left me unharmed."

((Text))=Talking outside of character.

((But Ptolemy is his favorite form...))

Narrated by: Jin

" Now to try this out..." Jin said holding the clay figurine in the palm of his hand. He stepped into a pentacle covered in runes, including Eliphas's Seal, Ptolemy's Seal, and Addlebrand's pentacle. He spoke the words to a long spell. When he was done a wisp of smoke appeared in the center of the pentacle. It quickly grew and grew until it became an enormous pillar of smoke, the smoke then bent into the shape of an enormous black serpent with wings.

"Greetings!" the afrit said in a huge disembodied voice. Jin didn't flinch. He merely began pacing back and forth in the pentacle. The afrit tracked his movements. Jin smiled as he stepped out of the pentacle a little bit. The afrit cackled and launched a detonation at Jin.

"Fool," Jin said as the statue absorbed all of the energy. The afrit looked a little stunned as Jin walked back into the pentacle, but quickly recovered.

"So lowly magician," the afrit said a frown spreading across it's vile face. "What gave you the guts to summon me?"

"Well, first I wanted to test the Statue's protective properties." He said in a completely emotionless voice. "Secondly, I have a charge for you," as he said this he smiled, but it was a half smile. "I want you to find the Amulet of Samarkand and bring it to me, and then you will await your next charge,"

"How dare you!?" The Afrit boomed "How dare you think you can continue your command!?" Jin pointed at the floor beneath the Afrit.

"Aiko, I thought you were better than that. For your ignorance-," he spoke a spell and the Afrit cried in pain.

"HUMAN!"

"You will go foolish demon!" The Afrit then disappeared.

"With the Amulet, and the statue, I will complete the staff as soon as I have you…. Shikuyu! I have realized that you Nouda, are not powerful enough for my objective."

A cackle was heard that night at 12 o'clock precisely.

Zeph continued to rampage through the forest, untill he came upon a clearing. In the clearing was large bird like creature without feathers. It was about as tall as a man with large leathery looking wings. It also had a very pointy beak and a backwards faceing horn comeing off the back of it's head. It was a pterosaur. An extinct flying reptile. Zeph knew what this meant. A message from Kitty. They had set this up so Zeph would know when it was a messanger instead of an imposter. For no apparent reason, execpt for intimidation, Zeph changed into a Tyranosaur, and said "Speak, messanger." The Transformist messanger turned into a human so he could recite the memorized message better. "Bartimaeus is in these very woods right now." What, he thought. "You are the only one close enough to him. You are to follow him from afar and discover what his business is here. No interaction is allowed."

Curse her, she know I'm not good with or even like spying. But orders are orders, I guess. Zeph thought."Time to get to work." Zeph said. He looked back at the messanger. He was turning back into the pterosaur to fly away. Zeph lunged at it, knocking it with the side of his head to the ground. Zeph looked at it. It lay their looking lifeless. He knew it was still alive, but it would be their for awhile. Zeph changed into a raven and flew off looking for Bartimaeus. "Man why do I have to be the spy? She couldn't of sent some one else?" Then Zeph thought of something. "Wait a minute! Why didn't she send the messanger?!? She's just doing this to spite me, I know it." Zeph grumbled as he flew off looking for Bartimaeus.
 
I slithered across the forest floor stealthly. Dodging trees, I rushed through the forest. I stopped a fet times and slashed my tail at a tree behind us. After a while, I transformed into a black fluffy dog with a white thunderbolt on its chest. I ran across the forest even faster now. "Guys, the person I need to meet is in Prague, not to far from here." I said, looking back. Queezle nodded. I kept running and looked back towards the path. Finally, I spotted Prague. I walked slowly in and took the form of a human. I then walked up to a door that read "Do Not Enter". I knocked on the door. A young man with brown hair and decent-looking clothed answered the door. "Oh, Bartimaeus. My dad is waiting for you in the livingroom." He said. He led me and everyone else into the livingroom. "Bartimaeus! Ive been expecting you." said an older person sitting on a couch. "Thank You Vipero." I said. "This is Andronis, and you've already met Queezle." I said, introducing the team. "Ahh, hello." said Vipero, in a snake-like voice.
 
Zeph had been flying for a long time. After a while he flew over a small group of what he assumed were two Transformist, and an Imp. Ether that, or an Imp and her two pets. But he threw that idea out when the snake turned in to a dog. He was about to fly on when a thought accured to him. What if they are teamed with Bartimaeus. He decided to follow them for a while. Eventualy they got to Prague, and the dog turned in to a human. The Transformist went to a house with a "Do not enter" sign on the door. Very sneaky. Zeph thought. Then he heard something that almost made him fall to the ground. The snake, then dog was Bartimaeus. "You mean the person I was supposed to find was in front of me the whole time!!!" yelled Zeph. Thankfully they had already gone in. Zeph imediatly dive in to the woods, and transformed into a Tyrannosarus. "Alright! I'm going to just bust in their and kill them all!" exclamed Zeph. But that didn't happen because just then something large and heavy hit Zeph on the head. When Zeph's vison cleared, he saw it was a very large metal ball, which imediatly turned into a Gastonia. Which just happened to be that Transformist's name. "Your mission is to spy, not fight." said Gastonia. "What ya gona do about it Gas." said Zeph. "You gona fight me?" Zeph turned into a Utahraptor slowly, for emphsis. And charged the other Transformist. Their battle not only took them deeper into the forest, but lasted for a while. They had also gone through a few diferent forms during the fight. Towards the end they had destoryed much of the forest. (Their was still alot of forest, but combine this with the destruction Zeph had made earlier, the forest was having a bad day.) At the end Zeph was a brused and bleeding T-rex and Gastonia was a dead Spinosaurus. "You *huff* put up an *huff* amazing fight *puff* Gastonia." weezed Zeph. Zeph turned into a Barchiasurus and looked around for a minute and saw Prague off in the distance. He also saw the destruction form their fight in really big forms and smiled to himself. He saw the biggest "bald spot" and rembered the part of the fight when they were in the forms of Barchiasurs. That was fun. He then turned into an ordinary house cat and went to sleep, compleatly forgeting about his mission.
 
Name- Percy Jackson(no not from the Lightning thief..I mean thats were I got the name from but he is nothing like Percy...)
Gender- Male
Side- Bartimeas
Age- 11
Main Form- https://www.devilgraphics.com/fox/fox.c01.06.2004.JZ3F3731.frmraw.2x.c-600.jpg
Personality- Percy is very sly and secretive. He finds out about things and keeps them a secret. He has been used alot as a spy for Bartimeas and that is why he is Bartimeas's right hand man and leader of all of his spies. Percy will die for Bartimeas, after being saved by him. Him and B(im calling Bartimeas that for my SU now) are like father and son, and Percy would die for B.
Appearence- https://www.padrebergamaschi.com/Pets/images/Predatory_Eyes_Black_Wolf.jpg
History- Percy lived on his own for his entire life. He had been abandoned by his clan and had to live on his own. He learned that he was a transformist when he was going to die almost form an attack by a panther and he turned in to a bird and flew off. He loves being a transformist and wouldn't give it up for the world.

One day, he was getting ready to die by Kitty's right hand man and top spy, when Bartimeaus swooped in and saved his life. he was forever grateful and ahs been like Bartimeaus's son ever since then.

Hope this is ok:):)
 
OOC- Your Accepted.

Also, Ill post when Rii does.
 
I sat on the door step of the house, waiting for Bartimeuas to come back out. The young man had looked at me like I was death itself and before I could walk in after the others, the door was slammed in my face. I wanted to go inside and be able to finally introduce myself to the rest of the team, as I had just been traveling with them away form the team to scout for danger.

I heard them talking and suddenly I was captured with something around my neck like a collar, suddenly I was thrown in to the back of a huge truck with words 'Animal Control' on it. I figured the young man had called them to capture me. I was ticked. I never turned in to a human for fear people would think I was a freak. I had only mastered the ability to turn in to a human at 0%. I turned in to a freak with one leg and one arm and one eye.

I looked through the back window of the truck and howled to the moon, it was a signal to Bartimeuas that I was in trouble, and only he knew it too. Him and my long lost brother who was far away. Finally, I laid at the bottom of the truck and curled up and began to rest. I knew I should conserve my strength, for Bartimeaus would soon save me, I knew if he didn't hear my howl he would come looking for me anyway, noticing that I was gone.

END
