TheApex

OOC Info

Note: Trying this out again after a long break from it. I'll be blunt in that I may not reply to every person that tries to interact with this account. My time is limited and my preferences are constrained. Further, this account requires a lot of focus even when just RPing with one person, let alone 5 with people whispering me; this is due to me playing multiple characters that I'm making on the fly. So if you are inserting into the setting in public, feel free, but don't expect that I'll necessarily reply to your posts.

Default species statuses only for now, and I'd prefer it not addressed in public (e.g. public messages like "Gosh I'd love to go to the Apex but my character is Human! That sucks!" or "I really want to go to the Apex but my preferences are [some form of incompatibility]!"). I don't want to see these every time I log on. I get that it might be disappointing, but I'm not likely to change my requirements due to those kinds of messages, so they are better left undone.

Hey there! So here is the basic premise: This is a restaurant/bar setting, in a world where anthro predator and prey species reflect their natural place in the food chain: Cats eat rodents and birds, rabbits eat lettuce and roots. Although tigers and bears, for example, can eat pretty much anything (even in this world); in the restraunt they are limited to the 'prey side' grouped species with the others getting protection.

The prey sign away any rights they have upon entering and can legally be eaten; they are there for free food and excitement, but don't actually want to be eaten.

I play opposite you, along with the staff/chef/owner. If your character is a cheetah, I might play a deer or rabbit. If your character is a squirrel, I might play a weasel or cat. The predators or prey I use can be up to your preferences as long as it makes general sense as a natural predator/prey pairing. E.g. a tiger can have a mouse if they want but a housecat probably won't be ordering a water buffalo.

That's really the basic idea. Anything else can be altered per scene. The text in the profile/site only reflects one possible interpretation. In example, instead of being more like a restaurant it could be more like a dance club with a bar; and instead of predators having to pay money for prey in the RP, it could be free/fully-normalized; with prey being thrill seekers living on the edge.

I may have moods/instances where I'll void the strict species requirements for one-offs; but not commonly so. And if just playing non-seriously in OCC/IC public chat I probably won't enforce such canon aspects.

Other Ideas

Outside the establishment

A scene can take place outside of the Apex. Maybe the characters involved simply meet at the Apex and go from there. In example, a suave panther might convince a deer-girl to come to his place; where he then eats them in a back ally or behind closed doors in his home.

Alternatively, a predator can legally purchase a 'doggy bag' from the restaurant (mostly rope). And eat at home.

Interactions with staff

In general I'd prefer the prey-species waiters not eaten in most cases. However predator-species staff could take 'a lunch break' after getting to know you or arrange you meet you after work hours.

The owner is a predatory muscle-bound tiger in a suit. He may mingle with prey and eat them on occasion in public or do so in private to avoid patrons being afraid of him. Unlike other predators, in all variations of the establishment he can pretty much do as he pleases.

'Bouncers' are another possibility for interaction, and are likely larger pred-species. A particularly unruly drunk prey might become dinner to the guard restraining them.

Regarding drunk characters. In the setting-variant with predators having to spend money to eat prey; a drunk predator might eat without having that concern in their mind (at least until they come-to and see their card-charges). A drunk prey could make a fool of themselves and provoke the bouncers (as mentioned). They could also cause their price to go down as punishment. It's also possible for a predator to take advantage of a drunk prey, follow them, or offer to drive them home with alternative motives.

Status

LFRP: Interested in a scene as either predator or prey

Prey: Looking to play as a prey guest to a predator partner

Pred: Looking to play as a pred guest/staff to a prey partner

Away: Probably not around!

DND: Most likely not replying to any PMs. This may not apply to people who know me well.

Distracted: Working or playing a game! May reply, may not.

No status: Usually about the same as Away for me, or Distracted. If I'm visibly in a scene in public it could be considered the same as DND, I may not address people trying to get in on the scene due to the work involved in playing multiple characters at once.
