What is a Hellbeast?
A Hellbeast is a strange creature who is shrouded in mystery. No one knows how they first came about into existence, or where they come from? An animal unlike any other animal, whose genetic makeups allow them to breed with virtually any other animal. Sometimes mistaken for hybrids, Hellbeasts hold something mystical and strange about them. Many of the other creatures carry rumors, floating through whispers like wildfire, that they are magical and powerful beasts. The bloodied Great Hellion Plague war ensued, nearly killing off their entire population. Now, they are feared and regarded. Even though a truce was made assuring the rest of the living creatures that not all hell-beasts were evil creatures, most of the living inhabitants still have their doubts.
What makes a Hellbeast unique?
The appearance of a Hellbeast looks quite unlike any other creature, and are created in two different ways. Some creatures have reported feeling a strange presence walking with them and floating all around them, similar to a Spook or a ghost. It was the strong belief of Sparkledog Nation, that this Spook is an ancient spirit that existed back before the Great Hellion Plague war, and that it used to walk and talk with the creatures during a more spiritual time. Sometimes, this spirit would physically change and alter the creatures who would spend too long with the Spook and in its company. Sometimes, the Spook would give them magical powers.
Spook: A random apparition that changes its form. Only roleplayed through designated Spook profiles, the only way to have a character 'become' a hellbeast is to be visited by a spook. They are usually rare visits and there is no guarantee the Spook will gift the creatures(s) they visit, or to request a visit. (*You can include "spook friendly" in the ooc notes).
Another way that hellbeasts come into existence occurs through happily mated pairs. Hellbeasts' offsprings will take on most of the characteristics of their animal parent, so a hellbeast who breeds with a deer would create more deer-like offsprings, with some of their ancestor's traits, but would maintain the same unique genetic code as their hellbeast parents. Hellbeasts will usually only pass on traits that they express to their offsprings, although rarely they may exhibit any 'hellbeast' trait that exists in their ancestry. Hellbeasts cannot pass on their powers, and are never born with unusual powers.
Hellbeasts may express any physical, strange shape or form currently existing in the wild. Hellbeasts must be petitioned to the Staff to be excepted, and stranger creatures are scrutinized more heavily then more mundane hellbeasts. The Spook can even modify and change the genetic makeup of hellbeasts further, just as it may grace them with powers, or manifest to make them appear more mundane.
Whenever a Spook apears in a thread, the roleplayers will be given a chance to reject the Spook. Interactions with Spooks hold no guarantees in any way.
What is the current Status for Hellbeast Applications?
Hellbeasts applications for ones born from Hellbeast(s) parents are currently Open |
Interested players may petition applications to the following staff: Immortal.
Applications will closed: September, 1st
Physical traits will be viewed on a case-by-case basis. At this time, we will accept more readily-noticeable hellbeasts (such as wolves with wings) with clearly described physical characteristics with more evenly distributed pros/cons for their unique genetic makeup. Feel free to message Staff members with any questions regarding their planned beasts' designs.
Hope you're doing well.
