In the depths of the Silver Expanse lies the key to turn the world back into the eden that it was. A seed, nestled deep within forgotten ruins, is said to be the one to banish the eternal winter.
Many groups of gryphon populate this desolate planet, but most only think the seed a myth. Besides a select few. One such of these groups is yours, and your job is to find the ruins- and the seed- before others who might want to destroy it. Find it first, and keep it safe.

Some general rules:
-Gryphons only. No hippogryphs, dragons, wolves, or any other animal
-You can make your gryphon out of any WILD bird and cat species.
-Listen to me if I tell you to change something
-This is supposed to be a serious rp, no "lol randum" is allowed, though you can of course have fun!
-You're welcome to ask ANY clarifyng questions
-Please keep the designs natural to the species. You can have a brightly colored parrot, yes, but not a brightly colored hawk.

You're welcome to comment now.

Do we just post our info here?

Yep, it all goes here, and when I've posted my ref, then you can make yours.

Name: Oluwatoyin (You can call him Olu)
Gender: Male
Species: Pallas's Cat/ Peacock
Personality: He's pretty Wise. He knows right from wrong. But he is eaily detured from knowing, meaning he is easily tricked into doing something wrong. he is very nice, but most people think he is cold by his looks (pallas's cats kinda have a mean looking face) he can easily make friends if others aren't to scared to talk to him.
Backstory: (the jist of it) Olu was more or less abandoned as a child (it was like a test to see if he was strong enough to survive out a lone) even tho he was left alone, he had his siblings. (Oka and omi) olu was the only one to be born with extra fingures, which he used to his advantage. olu learned to open doors/lids/etc. as the three grew up, they all went their seprate ways, to live their own lives.
thats all i got so far, its a work inprogress
strengths: His extra fingers, his smarts.
weaknesses: claws (some of them grow wierdly and hurt his paws (just a sec)

they can leave infections and stuff, can easily fixed with cutting the nails short) easily influenced.

is that good? should i fix anything?

Name: Goualba (combination of the scientific names of the jaguarundi and the barn owl)
Species: Jaguarundi/barn owl
Gender: Male
(I WILL post more character info.)

I think the only thing is the opening jars/doors part. There's no humans here, so whatever things the gryphons make are usually specialized for them already. c:
Otherwise, sounds great!

*Name: Goualbus (changed the name to make it sound more masculine.)

Is there a specific type of sound or theme you'd like the names to be modeled after?

I'd prefer them not to be something really human like Jack or Rebecca, but other than that, no, anything works.

Just in case the details get pushed out

H'okay, I was just thinking up a thing for the gryph. I'll go now. :y

Okay, just wanted to be sure. :)

that was more of an example than anything uvu lol (i couldnt think of anything in the wild for him to open lol) tho i was thinking that he could possibly use them to help his climb (hes a peacock so he cant fly)
ill get started on the ref later (when youve done ypurs ofc uvu)

Name: Zephyr
Species: Great Horned Owl/Panther
Biography: Possessing a dark pelt, dark plummage and a brooding personality, Zephyr has long been the but of "the serious tough guy" jokes with his comparitively more cheerful siblings. However, he also has a sense of rationality and desirable observation skills uncommon in his family. He prides himself on his intelligence, muscular physique and, oddly enough, his preening habits.
Unfortunately, Zephyr's testy fuse of a temperament and sometimes domineering behavior makes him something of an unpredictable and dangerous ally.

*butt

Personality: Congenial, can be pessimistic, yet systematic and precise and is dependable when it comes to accomplishing an appointed task (given that he feels it to be necessary).
Strengths/Weaknesses: Skilled hunter, can make logical predictions of consequences that may follow a rash decision instantly, can follow orders, is adaptable, yet his 'glass half-empty' attitude and obsession with neatness can go overboard at times and he is not always trustworthy of fulfilling duties he feels is not reasonable. Difficult to befriend.

Bio: His mother died in a relentless blizzard while searching for the fabled seed, and his father left him to his own devices, knowing that he couldn't prevail in preventing his son from pursuing the seed himself (Goualbus is determined to find the seed in order to avenge his mother, nothing more). Thus, Goualbus is distant, harboring only a couple of vague, rocky relationships at best. Once, back when he was learning to fly, a gale arose. He was buffeted and shocked by it, as he wasn't used to soaring in such conditions, and consequently slammed into a cliff, became disoriented, and fell onto the rough, unforgiving permafrost, breaking his front right wrist. Thus, he fears flying, or even dwelling, out in gusty, particularly icy conditions.

(The_Craig-Ster) Woohoo! I can't wait to see yours! :D

All three of yours sound great! I'll have the ref up in a little bit.

Is it prefered to have big wild cat kind of species? Or is it any kind of feline?

Name: Anthurium
Gender: Female
Species: Snow leopard, Blue jay
Personality: Persistant, brave, smart/intelligent, and perceptive, but is very cold and usually an introvert
Backstory: Because of her beleif in the seed and because of her very small size, she was often pushed around and teased in her community by her siblings (?) and others. Her parents tried to support her, bur she eventually left the community because she could see she wasn't wanted. She has a cold personality because of this, and also very few friends. She eventually became a traveller, sharpening her fighting skills along the way so that she could survive/thrive. Because of her size, she is often underestimated, giving her an advantage. She is well respected by those who know her well.
Strengths: Agile, very skilled, perceptive, loyal, has sharp claws, quick-witted, brave, strong
Weaknesses: cold, not outgoing, can be easily angered at times, generally doesn't trust anyone

Birdy- No, it can be any wild cat, big or small.

(Kyoto) I like yours too! c: So far, all the gryphons seem pretty antisocial! xD

I put mine up in the internet comments so I could type it out easier, sorry. xD

Alright. Just wanted to make sure so I have a better idea of this. Thank you.

Name: Sagitarri (Sagi or Tarri for short)
Gender: Female
Species: Secretary Bird/ Serval
Personality: Sagitarri is a very adventerous, but inexperienced, gryph. She is headstrong, brave, and a dreamer in every sense of the word. She is generally a very positive gryph, and it is very dificult to make her give up anything. She loves interacting with others, although she may come off as annoying.
Backstory: Sagitarri grew up hearing stories of the lengendary seed. She dreamed of one day returning the land where her family lived into a place where they could thrive instead of struggling through every season like they do. A terrible famine struck the land, leaving many gryphs dead and many others to flee. Sagitarri and her family fled, although it was too late. Her parents died on the journey to another land, leaving Sagi to wander alone. She has no purpose, and has no idea what to do next.

I hope that's ok! Let me know if I should change anything

Strengths: can walk/run long distances. Keeps positive, knows how to lift morale.She's very brave, and willing to do anything to help another. She's a good hunter of small/medium sized game.
Weakness: Cannot fly long distances, she's inexperienced and headstrong. She'll probably be the first to make bad choices. She's too light to hunt large game, her combat skills aren't great either.

(Fantasy Tail) Yay! A relatively positive character! :D Love her already!

@Whale Fanatic: That's totally something Sagitarri would do, lol! She'll have fun pestering Gouablus :p

Noo! I deleted it! D:
But yeah, I could totally see that happening. XD

All of these gryphs seem great, guys! Thanks for taking the time to type all that info up, wow! :D

Name: Qui
Species: Albino Bengal Tiger/Magpie
Personality: Qui is very empathetic towards other gryphons, usually helping the injured or ill. However, she is very submissive to stronger gryphons from past experiences and instinct. She enjoys water, and prefers it over the sky, spending most of her time swimming. She is very loyal to wounded gryphons, taking care of them until they are healed. Qui does have an agressive side to her when it comes to smaller gryphons that she sees as a "lower rank" and will not hold back if insulted, but she rarely attacks, being too afraid to fight.
Backstory: Qui was born in a large litter during a rather harsh winter. She luckily adapted to the cold with her large coat and magpie instincts. Her family was living with a pack of gryphons, who had banded together to survive the winter, but the group had become so dependent on eachother that they remained as a pack. Qui had been a healer for the pack, looking over the badly wounded and ill -continued-

After a year or so, one of her male siblings had attempted to lead, challenging another higher ranking male. Qui watched, horrified to see her brother suffer a rather gruesome death from challenging a much stronger gryphon. Qui left the pack, afraid that somehow she would suffer the same fate.
Strengths and weaknesses: Qui is not very strong, having a very slender frame. She cannot fly very well, but is an excellent swimmer. She cannot travel far in heat, being used to very cold weather.

Qui is also a very skilled healer.

*Just as a warning, I'm closing it after three more slots!*
Sorry, but I don't want a huge rp! /:D

Joining. I'll put character info in the ref. Need time to think about how I want my griffon

Either will be a toucan/some type of cat or a bird of prey/some cat. And a male since I need to make males in my cluster of female chars

Name - Atriume (At-treh-uhm)
Gender - Male
Species - Harpy Eagle/Black Panther
Personality - He can be rather cynical and hostile, but that's of you catch him in a bad mood. He's usually pretty calm and less cold to others. But sometimes in a neutral state he can come off as a bit of a mean guy when he doesn't intend to. He likes to share with others as well but his appearance and cold demeanor can kind of be uneasy for others.
Backstory - He lived a decent life when he was younger with his siblings, until they were left to fend for himself at quite a young age. It was hard to survive in the harsh weather that they had resided in. In an effort to get bigger game and fuller bellies though, they saught out prey much bigger and stronger than him and his siblings. They were starving with the small game they caught. And their lack of strength and desperation had become quite a tragedy. Atriume lost his siblings and barely made it out alive. With no choice he fled the area with what little-

strenght he had left in him. As time pased he grew stong and had trained himself past his limits every day to get stronger than his prey/enemies. But lately these days he's been pretty lazy, doesn't mean he won't attack you though if he has to.
Strengths - His love for strategy, and strong front legs for griping onto prey/objects securely.
Weakness - His talons grow a little too long and curve unnaturally that may break a couple of them if he doesn't sharpen them daily, his impatience if things take way too long to his liking, and his lack of friendly social skills make him look like a hostile to many.

I would totally enter if I knew anything about gryphons :(
