Okay, so I’ve had a couple of ideas for some RP’s that I would like to just throw out there, I don’t have a solid plot or name for any of them at the moment so feel free to pummel me with suggestions (that’s what we’re here for biggrin )
Okay First idea…
I wanted to do something anthropomorphic.... Google it... and here it is.
There is an organization, group, evil society, and or good society (goodness forbid = w =) that is responsible for giving a group of people the ability to turn into animals. It’s kind of reminiscent of Animorphs, unfortunately, I’ve never read an animorphs book or saw any of the TV show so I can’t really stea- I mean, borrow ideas from it. Anyway, the main story revolves around a syndicate that is experimenting with super soldier technology; the super soldiers created through those attempts will eventually be spread through the world as mercenaries, politicians, everyday people, etc. Then through sleeper cell methods, a trigger will cause all the genetically enhanced to pledge loyalty to said syndicate, thus an effective world take over. The subjects of these experiments will be either anthropomorphic or just be able to turn into a specific animal, or maybe both. But why make super soldier animal-istic? For control of course; it's easier to brainwash and remotely control hundreds of animals rather than people. Of course there will be a group of protagonist who will attempt to stop this… I say attempt because I want there to be two sides, those RPing for the side of “good” and those for world domination…which I guess is evil because a world united is…. Anyway, that is one idea for that.
The next is a more magical approach to it. There’s a conglomerate of mystical beings that have trapped the spirits of animals inside humans, whether or not the beings are good or evil is totally up to uh, whatever we’ll see. Other than that I have no real conflict accept that the human hosts are burdened with reverting to the animal spirits permanently and retaining their humanity.
And as for the specifics, concerning transforming from human to animal and vise verse.
I’d like your opinion on…
Should they [transforming] be instant? Or take time, like somewhere between 5 seconds and a minute? Actually a minute is kind of long, but whatever.
Should any clothing that the character is wearing be lost on transformation or be magically retained?
Should the character in animal form be able to speak, and understand human language or just understand and not be able to speak?
Oh yeah and a title um, someone think of one, derp.
I have a couple of ideas for some fixed Characters, but it's likely they'll be NPC's we'll see.

I'd say have varying amounts of tranformation times for different characters.
Personally, I'd keep it realistic when it comes to the clothes, as long as you are playing with mature players who can abide by the TOS, losing your clothes when you transform shouldn't be a problem.
Not being able to speak to other humans would make the roleplay interesting, and cause people to come up with more creative posts. Though sometimes there might be a need to speak, perhaps through some technological aid? I do think they should be able to speak to other animals and understand them though, it wouldn't have to be vocal.
I like the Beast Heart title, can't top it currently.

Beastheart is a good title actually razz
As for clothes, I personally don't see anything wrong with a bit of shielded nudity, as Dreiyan said, if you have players that can RP well enough to keep inside the TOS then losing clothes is not a problem at all. In fact losing your clothes would add more situations to work around, after turning back.
Speech depends. I would imagine the good guys speaking and understanding, and the bad guys not as they're under mind control. I think that speech depends on the RP, but I would keep the ability to understand for any situation. Their minds were/are human, therefore they should be able to undestand human language smile
