Hey,

If anybody's interested in a "Secret of NIMH" RP scenario, just say so, 'cause I'm interested in starting a RP scenario that begins right AFTER the events of "The Secret of NIMH", so that those who can't deal with the sequel can sort of "re-write" it, as it were!

SPOILER WARNING FOR "THE SECRET OF NIMH"!

I'm going to be Mrs. Brisby (Elizabeth), but the following roles are available:

* Teresa Brisby: She's Elizabeth Brisby's oldest daughter, and she's about 10 or so human years old.
* Martin Brisby: He's Elizabeth Brisby's oldest son, and he's about 8 or 9 (?) human years old.
* Timothy Brisby: He's the younger Brisby son, and he's about 7 (?) human years old.
* Cynthia Brisby: She's the baby of the Brisby family, and she's more than likely 4 or 5 human years old.
* Auntie Shrew: She's the practical neighbor of the Brisbys.
* Mr. Ages: He's an elderly mouse, and he's the local doctor.
* Jeremy: He's Mrs. Brisby's crow friend, and he is obsessed with "the sparkly"!
* Tiffany (?): Jeremy's giggly, flirtatious mate!
* Justin: He's the new leader of the rats, and he and Mrs. Brisby may have a future together.
* The Ghost of Johnathan Brisby: Johnathan was Elizabeth's husband.
* The Ghost of Nicodemus: Nicodemus was the elderly leader of the rats. He was killed by Jenner.
* The Ghost of Jenner: Jenner was a rat who wanted to remain in the rosebush, living by way of stealing from Farmer Fitzgibbons and his wife Beth.
* The Ghost of Sullivan: Sullivan was a mouse (?) who allowed himself to be mortally wounded by Jenner in order to stand for what he believed in. He died as a result of Jenner's attack on him, but he lived long enough to kill Jenner.
* Dragon: He's the extra large cat who lives with the Fitzgibbons family. He loves to hunt mice and rats.
* Farmer Fitzgibbons: He's more than likely 35-40, and he sports brown hair, and a brown mustache. He sees nothing wrong with destroying nature.
* Mrs. Fitzgibbons (Beth): She is probably about 35, and she has brown hair, too. She doesn't like rats or mice, especially if she thinks that they're diseased.
* Billy Fitzgibbons: He's more than likely 10, and he's red-haired, and freckle-faced. He delights in capturing outdoor critters for his very own.

You can search Google Images for photos of the aforementioned characters (With regards to ghosts, just search for the late characters by their names, in order to see what they looked like when they were alive)

*** Your character profile should look something like this:

NAME: Mrs. Elizabeth Brisby
AGE (IN HUMAN YEARS): 35 (?)
"RACE": Field mouse
FAMILY: My children: Teresa, Martin, Timothy, and Cynthia
FRIENDS: Auntie Shrew, Jeremy, Mr. Ages, Justin
ENEMIES: Dragon, Farmer Fitzgibbons
CRUSH: Justin
MOTIVATION(S): Keeping my family safe, putting some romance back into my life, and healing myself (after having used the stone to save my family)
PERSONALITY: I am still fairly modest, sweet, and innocent, but I now realize that I have an inner strength that can amaze even me! I am soft-spoken, but I also tend to use my fluttery eyelashes, and my sweetness, in order to get my way. I enjoy being helpful to others, and I am fairly comfortable with my role as a mother, although I sometimes feel frazzled, with regards to my sometimes hectic life, especially when one of my children is in danger! I am devoted to the memory of Johnathan, although I feel a fond desire for Justin. I am glad that Jeremy has found a mate with whom to share a nest, although I am strangely hopeful that he will visit me every so often.

Well, feel free to request a character.


See Ya' Later,

((Hi there. Sorry for bringing it up here, but you have private messages disabled on your profile, so outside this thread I was unable to contact you. I actually stumbled across this thread poking around on Google for Secret of NIMH themed RP. I've been dying to do an RP in the world for ages now, especially alongside Mrs. Brisby... but, I'm not super into the pacing of forum RP. If there's any other medium you'd be comfortable using such as a MUSH or IM, shoot me a PM at let me know. I've got a couple OC's and would also be more than able to play a few of the canon characters as well. Failing that I could try playing here, but I strongly prefer shorter (5-7 line) posts with more immediacy than multi-para forum stuff while waiting hours or sometimes days at a time for replies.))

Hey, SentinelMoonfang,

Try sending me a PM now, and see what happens, 'cause I just made a few changes to my account's settings, so that I can receive PMs, PM notifications, etc.. I'm sorry that I didn't enable people to send me PMs before. OOPS!

I wouldn't mind your playing a few characters. If you'd like to start the story, you may. If you'd like me to start the story, then that's cool, too. If you need some time to think about your characters, the story could officially start on, like, Friday night, or on Sunday, or whenever.

NAME: Mr. Ages
AGE (IN HUMAN YEARS): 63
"RACE": NIMH-modified Mouse
FAMILY: None
FRIENDS: Previously Nicodemus
ENEMIES: None
CRUSH: Too old for such things!
MOTIVATION(S): Being left alone to work on his experiments in the privacy and quiet of his home.
PERSONALITY: Outwardly Mr. Ages is quite cantankerous, though beneath that prickly facade beats a kind heart. He has great intelligence thanks to the experiments at NIMH and a strong knowledge of chemistry and herbalism. He's most often a loner, preferring to spend his days in the depths of the humans' machine he's come to call his home, surrounded only by his experiments and trained insects.



NAME: Auntie Shrew
AGE (IN HUMAN YEARS): Gracious! How rude! In my day we did not ask a lady such questions!
"RACE": Shrew
FAMILY: None
FRIENDS: The Brisby family, many other neighbors who enjoy her gossip and tolerate her eccentricities
ENEMIES: Rats, Crows, other suspicious folk!
CRUSH: None
MOTIVATION(S): Protecting the garden from hoodlums, ruffians and scoundrels
PERSONALITY: 'Auntie' Shrew is a prim and proper lady, albeit one from a slightly simpler time. She sees herself of a matriarch over much of the farm, and most aren't prone to argue thanks to her firey temper. As Mrs. Brisby put it, "She means well" though, and generally acts in the best interests of the community offering her wisdom and protection. She is prone to drama at times as well, but don't let her catch you saying that.


NAME: Rowan
AGE (IN HUMAN YEARS): 27
"RACE": Raccoon (Use Secret of NIMH 2 for scale. Not enormous)
FAMILY: Parents missing, Sister Addie lives in a city nearby
FRIENDS: Previously Johnathan, The Brisby family
ENEMIES: Dragon
CRUSH: Mrs. Brisby
MOTIVATION(S): Seeing to the safety of Mrs. Brisby and the children, as Johnathan would've wanted, perhaps being noticed by the widow Brisby some day.
PERSONALITY: Rowan had a very harsh childhood, having to raise his younger sister from a young age. It left him somewhat dour and stern most often, and rather pessimistic. Just the same, the raccoon is first and foremost, as many raccoons, a survivor and a quite adept one as well. He met Johnathan a short time before his marriage to Elizabeth and his curiosity about Johnathan's strange inventions and stories made the two fast friends. He found himself rather taken with Mrs. Brisby long before propriety would allow for the admission of such things, her far brighter and more optimistic take on life contrary to his own and very heart-warming. Just the same he kept his feelings to himself, not wishing to injure his relationship with Johnathan. After Mr. Brisby's death, Rowan began helping out the now single mother where he could, offering whatever food he could spare, but his distance from the cinderblock kept him from visiting very often, scarcely more than every month or so. He feels intense guilt for missing Mrs. Brisby's adventure with the rats of NIMH and has vowed to be more attentive in case the family should fall under such hard times again.


Alrighty, there's the bios for who I'd like to play. I figure I'll take on those most scene-appropriate when they come. Hopefully the pace of forum RP won't catch up with me!

I look forward to the RP. Hopefully this take on a sequel won't include *shudder* Mouse credit cards and a mad scientist Martin voiced inexplicably by Eric Idle...

Hey, SentinelMoonfang,

Cool biographies! Accepted!
