Long ago, when the world was much younger, the humans thrived. They felt that they were superior to all creatures and created gods in their image to worship for things to better themselves in a society where everything they did hurt the planet that so many called home. The true gods looked down on this and sighed.
Then, there was war. The humans fought with each other for control of the world, slaying each other with loud weapons, which hurt the ears of all of the animals. As they watched, the gods knew that something must be done. So they sent their magic to the planet, hoping to make it better.
At first, many humans killed each other with their newfound powers, whether on purpose or by accident is anyone's guess. Then, people started dying. First, it was just a few, but then they fell in thousands, then millions. Finally, only those whose systems could handle the magical 'overdose' were left alive, some having absorbed so much magic that they could no longer retain their natural form, these were the shapeshifters, and some that had absorbed magic and could control it to a degree, the sorcerers. Some shifters, as they called themselves, learned to control their power, using it to manipulate others, while others used it to hide, as some of the evil sorcerers hunted them for sport. These were dark days for the animals.
Unknown to the rest of the world, the animals had absorbed the magic too, though since it was not meant to harm them, they absorbed it, gaining intelligence and further understanding of the world around them.
As creatures do, this generation had children and many passed on their magic to their offspring, sharing it with their future. These were peaceful days, as the children were raised around the magic, accepting it as a part of their world. This generation grew up at peace with nature, as almost every ‘modern’ human settlement had fallen.
The gods returned to protect the planet, the animals and people worshipping them. By now, some shapeshifters had mated with animals, creating crossbreeds of sorts. As magic grew within them, some animals found that they had powers as well. Some creatures found a new form, their spirit, or shadow form, depending on the purity of their soul. The gods ruled over the world, keeping it peaceful for many years, though good things cannot last forever...

The first has fallen, the second following soon after. Each side has lost one of its own, but before there is peace once more, there will be blood and tears from all.
The Forbidden Forest is a roleplaying site that I made over a year ago and has continued to grow since then. As it has continued to survive, it has grown and thrived, we only need members to truly begin the war. Currently, we are updating the board and such, so please do not let this sway your opinion of the site as a whole.
We await your decision; will you join the side of good or evil? Or will you ignore both? Kill anyone in sight? Or just try to help those that you can, in hopes of making them see some sort of reason?
The forest awaits!
