This role play is about farm poultry rebelling against the humans. But first, please read the rules:

A) By participating in this game, I promise that all BYC Rules will be followed and that I have read and understood the Role Play Rules that are in a sticky at the top of the Games forum.

B) I promise that all content is to be rated G and suitable for all ages.

C) I promise that there will be no swearing, cursing (including censoring by using symbols) or inappropriate adult sexual activity or innuendo. This extends to mating, breeding or innuendo in non-human characters as well.

D) I promise to treat others with respect and kindness as is the BYC way.

E) I promise not to post any material that is a violation of copyright. Basically this means: if you didn't create the content (like an image / picture) and don't have direct permission from the content creator to post it, then don't.



A bit of a pre-story, the farmer and his farmhands are nice enough, but they do a few mysterious things. In fall every year they take away most of the young male chickens and ducks, and the remaining poultry do not know where they go (butchering). Quail are taken away at random and are never seen again (hunting bait). Every once in a while, before feeding time, they take several of the pigeons far away so they have to fly back for their meal (Pigeon racing).

Most poultry if not the fact that their comrades are being taken away and choose to go on with their lives, but there are a few who aren't content with living in captivity...

Basic outline of the poultry (characters do not have to follow these outlines, but any bird who is not somebody's character should most often follow the outline):
-Chickens are creatures of habit. They follow a strict schedule and don't like to be interrupted.
-Ducks spend just about their whole day in the pond. They only leave the water to sleep, eat, and lay eggs. Anywhere too far from water is practically the same as torture to them.
-Pigeons look down on all other poultry mostly because they can not truly fly. They take pride in the fact that they are allowed out of their loft once per day without any leashes or tethers, besides the bands on their legs, which is their sore spot. (They are only let out in the morning, before they eat, same with the races.)
-Quail will agree to whatever they believe benefits them the most. Often they will go with any plan until danger or a problem comes up, at which they often give up.
(The description of the poultry is not accurate in real life, and no offense should be taken.)

Let's say there's a max of 3 characters per person for now. They can have any type of name you want. Remember, we can't have any mating or sex stuff. We can take turns playing the farmer. Any bird who is not somebody's character can be played by a player, just follow the outline at most, but not all times.

Name: Tilly
Type of poultry (options are chickens, ducks, quail, and pigeons): Chicken
Breed within poultry type (optional):
Barred Rock/Plymouth Rock
Gender:
Hen
Age:
18 weeks
Personality:
Tilly is a very cheerful, excited, and optimistic hen. She doesn't understand the pecking order that much, and while she likes order, she may go against the pecking order without realizing it. Because she is young, she doesn't have a place in the order yet but doesn't care much about it anyway. She's always curious, and, as a result, is always getting into trouble. Because she's almost blind, she has a little trouble seeing and is easy to take advantage of.
Physical description:
Black and white feathers with golden yellow legs. Her gray eyes are slightly milky after an illness that left her with eyes that can barely see.
Other (optional):
In memory of my own little hen, Tilly.
(Well, this is yet another RP to add to my stack of others. :caf)
 
Sounds fun. My kids are trying to get me into RP, so I'll give this a try.

Name: Guinevere, Guinny for short
Type of poultry (options are chickens, ducks, quail, and pigeons):
Breed within poultry type (optional):
Cream Legbar
Gender: Female
Age: 2 years
Personality: Flighty, Proud, Elegant, Not always intelligent
Physical description: typical Cream Legbar hen with crest, silver hackles, chest. lovely feathering
Other (optional): Extremely proud that she lays vibrant blue-green eggs and that her lineage came from the renowned Dr. R. C. Punnett of Cambridge and her ancestors were jungle fowl. She is attached at the wing to her dearest flock mate a Silkie named Oma-San, but also distracted by the broody Silkie. While Guinny is deeply stirred by some basal instincts, alas she is far too self-absorbed to put the work into actually hatching a brood of her own. She much prefers to keep Oma San company and join in the flock gossip.

Name: Oma-San
Type of poultry (options are chickens, ducks, quail, and pigeons):
Breed within poultry type (optional):
Silkie
Gender: Female
Age: 5 years
Personality: Bold, Brash, Caring, Nosy, Vocal
Physical description: Buff Silkie hen, diminutive in size, big pom pom crest
Other (optional): Inscrutable (unknowable) as her moods change with her broods, however Oma San possesses surprisingly deep wisdom and a large heart for such a small body, though her wisdom is not always expressed in the clearest manner. Also, being intensely motherly, she has the habit of plopping down on anything that resembles an egg when the brood strikes. She has mothered pretty much every chicken in the flock at some time or another.

Welcome to you and your kids! Both accepted, I am guessing they are chickens?

Yes they are both chickens. Kids won't actively be participating (they are grown and out of house), but they will be watching at a distance eager to have mom gain experience in their favorite pastime, hoping I will be more adept next Christmas RP time. LOL.

:thumbsup
I like writing! Be it books, plays, RP's, or music. I find it really soothing and fun at the same time. :D
Yeah, so do I! Writing so one of my main hobbies.
 
Name: Beane
Type of poultry (options are chickens, ducks, quail, and pigeons): Coturnix quail
Breed within poultry type (optional): Coturnix
Gender: Male
Age: 1 year
Personality: Screams a lot (at least the quail equivalent of a scream). Literally never stays still. Easily panicked- so easily, in fact, that he is in an almost constant state of it. Not able to think logically when he’s scared (and he gets scared a lot). If you manage not to startle him, he’s actually pretty friendly.
Physical description: His coloring is called Tibetan tuxedo. He has one blue eye and one half blue half brown eye. He’s actually pretty small and skinny for a coturnix. He has a bald patch on his head from being scalped by a female quail and scabs on his feet from minor, constant bumble foot.

Other (optional): Beane flirts with chickens.
 
Name: Kes
Type of poultry (options are chickens, ducks, quail, and pigeons): Chicken
Breed within poultry type (optional): White leghorn
Gender: Male
Age: 3 years
Personality: To be role played
Physical description: Mostly typical of his breed. Has a smaller comb and wattles than other leghorns, a fairly nice U-back, and a long tail for a hatchery leghorn. Kinda scruffy white feathers.
Other (optional): Born in a hatchery, he barely escaped the grinder as a day old chick. He fell off the machine and witnessed his brothers get killed. He somehow escaped and got raised by a stray game hen. His life was good, until one day his adopted mother and siblings disappeared on a foraging trip. He found one of them dead, and, not knowing what else to do, wandered until he found the farm. Kes now lives in the forest bordering the farm, roosting in trees and occasionally stealing food.
