The Indlovu were a previously numerous race, known for their often alluring songs they could sing at adulthood, using it to lure prey closer. Once they came closer, the Indlovu would kill them swiftly. They were known for their beauty as well, but often, in nature; if it's pretty, it's usually pretty dangerous.
As time went on and human colonization began, the Indlovu began to get hunted, and gradually, their numbers fell as humans figured out how to take down those creatures. The training to take down an Indlovu was long and hard, since you needed to be able to resist their songs. And even then, Indlovu were powerful fighters otherwise - in their early days, the hunters lost many.
And yet, to this day, it is rumored only a few hundred Indlovu remain.
Hunters are not needed as much anymore, so they are not sent out as heavily as they were back then. And with better equipment, you don't really need big groups, either. A solo hunter can take down an adult Indlovu, though Elders (if there are any left) still need groups sent after them. The children are even easier, it's a matter of tracking them down is all.
On the planet of Khewzi, the former Indlovu homeworld, now human claimed, a town gives reports of a rare Indlovu sighting. The Indlovu sighted is said to be smaller than an adult, so it is to be said it is perhaps a young adult instead of fully grown. It should be dealt with quickly, before it causes any problems. Though…this one hasn't sung anyone to their deaths yet. But we won't risk one running around, won't we?
Khewzi: The planet of the RP. A full day on Khewzi is 25 hours, with 15 of those hours being night, and the rest being day. Night takes up most of its days, and with lack of light pollution, the stars are very visible almost all day. The terrain has small vegetation, but the forests that the Indlovu are known to live in have fairly 'Earth sized' average trees, meaning they aren't like redwood trees or anything like that. It also has some wetlands in the South and in the West, some drylands, which are very open.
Indlovu: Aliens, described as 'angels' by early settlers, though that was not the case as the 'angels' began to kill a lot of people. Can be referred to as Inds as well. Inds are taller than humans, once full grown. Generally they top off at 9 feet, and can live to 12000 years, though reach their full heights at 6000. They're saurian in appearance, with white scales covering the body, and small, but several yellow eyes, as well as tufts of white fur scattered along the body; such as the neck, head, tail. Sharp, needle like teeth and large feathered wings on their backs, although they only able to 'fly' at 500 year of age, meaning the rest of the time they just glide, or preform short flights.
Hunters: Specially trained to take down Inds. Carry a variety of weaponry, including nets, often to strangle the Ind to prevent it from flying or gliding away. Once trapped in a net, an Ind has a hard time getting out.
THE SETTING: I guess I described this like it was medieval to some, but it's not, it is futuristic; you'd have things like guns and whatnot. it's also sci-fi. I'll be playing as the alien, while I do need a hunter. uuhh i do not have a plan on what to do when we meet aside from the fact there'll probably be a fight. (so this'll dive right into action! fun!) but neither of us will die either. if you have any ideas please let me know, otherwise we'll plan as we go along.
THE RULES
- No auto-hitting, but don't dodge everything, either.
- Cussing's allowed.
- Blood is fine, it will be expected most likely as well.
- do not let this die within the first week…..
- I would prefer no one liners, as I feel those are difficult to respond to.
- Good grammar is always appreciated, but not required.
- I notice some people keep brackets I put in my templates. Delete them, as they're only there to explain the function.
- This list is probably going to change.
