Yes, that's right! I, Sakoru, have a huge request for everyone on Shinkou Ookami.
I am making a world. A ginormous, huge, and empty world in which I intend to base a roleplay site, and quite likely a story as well. I've called it Atanry, and it's got no life in it.
Yet.
So, what I'm asking of all of you is to create me, for this world, a unique species to live somewhere within it. See, you can't have a roleplay without characters, and I really need some cool species to go in it. I even have a map, and information on some of the places, so that you can pick out where you want your creations to live, and I can put them there.
And, of course, I really can't create dozens of species on my own. Besides, what fun would it be to do this all by myself?
Please help me in this huge undertaking. Below is a list of the land types, continents, and a few of the islands to help you decide, if you decide to make one, where your species should go.
MAP - linked to prevent page stretching
Also, a small note: in Atanry, the land is alive. It can move, although it often lies dormant for a very long time, and then bursts into a sudden flurry of motion. This is part of the reason why no humans live there (although there are humanoids). :3
LAND TYPES
CONTINENTS
CONTINENTAL ISLANDS
[li]Aldan's Island - large island due west of the mainland, inhabited mainly by Ravenkin and dragons.
[/li][li]Stormy Isle - very small island constantly ravaged by thunderstorms, east of the mainland. Inhabited by water-loving creatures.
[/li][li]The Unknown Islands - mountainous islands always shrouded by mist. Have been known to vanish when intruders get close and those who reach the islands do not or cannot speak of what lies there. Northeast of the mainland.
Off the Old Continent
[/li][li]The Nameless Island - medium-sized isle just east of the mainland, inhabited mostly by Slehkihra.
Off the Young Continent
[/li][li]Bird Isles - islands inhabited almost entirely by millions of birds, surrounding the Young Continent like a shield.
Off the Wild Continent
[/li][li]Forever Island - several miles north of the continent. Time stops on the island and nothing dies of old age. Time resumes about 200 yards off its coast.
[/li][li]Vanishing Isle - island that cannot be reached physically. Its nature is not known, nor are the creatures that may live upon it. Southwest of the continent.
Off the Black Continent
[/li][li]Several tiny isles off the northern coast, inhabited by bats and snakes. Nameless.[/li][/ul]
SCATTERED ISLANDS
There are plenty of other islands, as you can see. However, it'd take up way too much space to write about them, so I only put up information about the more interesting islands/ones that need extra habitation. I also didn't post any information about the bodies of water, but I can put those up as well if people want me to.
UNIQUE SPECIES
No, I didn't give you any information on the species. Imagine how much space that'd take up. But those are the names that have already been taken
Also, I know that there aren't any descriptions of the types of land for most of the continents. I'll probably colour the map sometime so you can see all the different places. :3
Anyway, here's a really short form for you to fill out if you'd like to make a species!

LAND TYPES
- The Air - the skies and the mountain peaks ruled by the dragons, upon which only birds are allowed to trespass.
- The Mountains - the many great mountains which dominate the northeastern portion of the Giant Continent. They are ruled by the wolves and there are several large packs in control.
- The Plains - the mighty grasslands upon which the horses reign supreme. They take up the entire center of the Giant Continent.
- The Forests - the great woods covering the south-southwestern border of the Great Continent and several islands off the coast. They also cover much of the eastern half of the Giant Continent. The Island Forests are rule dby the unicorns, the Mainland Forests by the Ravenkin.
- The Seas - all the water surrounding the continents, inhabited by fish, sharks, and Fengira, but ruled by none.
- The Wildlands - the icy wastelands to the far north of the world, inhabited by Keniro, Ice Cats and Moltani. Extremely dangerous and uninhabitable, as well as lawless and savage.
- The Swamps - land of the Giants, covering the very southern edge of the Giant Continent and the Old Continent as well. Inhabited by giant creatures of all types, most notably the mutant dragons called Slehkihra.
- The Stonelands - the lands completely uninhabited by any creature save lichen, where the earth does not breathe and where the volcanoes roar. An exceedingly lonely land, and one only the dragons could hope to escape in time for survival. Located upon the western coast.
CONTINENTS
- The Giant Continent - the largest continent in the world, tens of thousands of miles long and wide. Contains many thousands of species and has a large number of different land types as well.
- The Old Continent - land of the ancient forests and great swamps. Inhabited completely by giants and is a very forbidding place. Located southeast of the Giant Continent, and is quite small.
- The Young Continent - very small continent, half the size of the Old. Dominated completely by small mammals and poisonous snakes.
- The Wild Continent - another large continent separated from the others by several thousand miles of ocean. Located far to the south end of the planet and inhabited by magic, ancient beings such as unicorns, Ravenkin, Saramir Danzen and Stonewing dragons. Also covered in old forests and has an abundance of strange life.
- The Black Continent - the continent where the sun never rises, dominated by nocturnal and misunderstood beings such as Dark Ravenkin, vampiric dragons, living stones and other strange creatures. Has hardly any plants on it and is located southeast of the Wild Continent.

SCATTERED ISLANDS
- Magma Islands - volcanic ring of islands in the southern center of the Great Ocean. Very explosive/active, and are inhabited mostly by phoenixes and flamecallers.
- Cattail Island - island between the Giant and Old continents, covered in reeds and cattails and home primarily to wicker-ducks and Keirni dragons.
There are plenty of other islands, as you can see. However, it'd take up way too much space to write about them, so I only put up information about the more interesting islands/ones that need extra habitation.
