the original curse...
...
The original curse bestowed upon holders of the thirteen zodiac spirits. Should said person com into intimate contact with someone of the opposite gender, outside of the thirteen spirits, they involuntarily transform into their animal counterpart. Destined to be ostracized from humanity should their curse be discovered. The spirits at first at first were all born of Saeki blood -- until the Blood Moon Incident changed everything. Though the incident has been long erased from memory, like blood washed from the shore by violent waves.
From that day onward the reborn spirits would hold another layer of curse. Each unique to the differnt animal spirits, a curse they would suffer alone with. The newly cruel God, tired of his animal scattered their legacy across Japan. Left to fend to their strangeness by themselves with no one to rely on. However some were still birthed within the estate of the Saeki Family. Desperate to hold onto this unknown power, the heads of the family sought to find the other spirits. Doing whatever they could to bring them home.
Kaibara, a smaller district of rural Tokyo where cityscape blended into lush greenery lived The Saeki Estate. They once held the infamous pride of the thirteen zodiac spirits and the reincarnated God. The entire dynamic changed when 100 years ago everything changed. The God refused to be reborn anymore after a certain incident. All the former members of the zodiac perishing from the God's wrath on the same day, strangled by their own red string of fate. Those born again were suddenly no longer within the confines of the Saeki Estate save a few spirits. Their was a sudden power imbalance, a need to recollect the spirits for their ultimate goal. Though as the years past it proved challenging until...
Modern day
In a little town in Japan there lives a a particular family dynasty. Rumors whisper in old say they're cursed. Forsaken victims of a once kind God. In a little town where cityscape meets and brushes against the cusp of sweet greenery, there live the Saeki family. Hidden behind the thick walls of their estate, they are quite the anomaly. Nothing much is known about them other than their wealth and statue among the community.
an eternal series of gatherings

The Rat
The darkness hidden in this Spirit's heart. Whispers of malice and distaste only this person can hear. The cruel voices almost maddening, to the point one's sanity is pushed to the very edge. The Rat is able to hear the thoughts of others within their own mind, BUT, only the negative ones. Hateful and criticizing words hitting them especially hard; a would straight into their trauma filled heart.
reserved
The Ox
Born with mixed features, a balance of light and dark. Cursed with a wicked split personality. The lighter side cool, and lazy - like a warm summer day spent floating in a blue lagoon. Their darker side a vicious, tumultuous storm. Tearing down anyone in their path with brute strength alone. They have multiple triggers, one of them sneezing and the other when they hear the word ______. They live life on the edge fearing any new experience might trigger their dark side. ☆ Resides within the Saeki Estate.

The Tiger
Every turn of the year, the day after the New Years banquet they loose their memories of the previous year. Having every small precious detail and person lost to hazy blackness. Over the years they learned to keep their distance from people. Lashing out with cold strikes and a sharp tongue to keep away the broken look of the faces of people forgotten.
open
The Bunny
Born with pale features yet striking eyes, unnaturally so. Cursed with a frail body and easily sickened and wounded. Always being hospitalized for what most people would escape with minor injuries. Easily their body reaches its limits, which could cause them to unintentionally transform. Something they are very prone to.
reserved
The Dragon
Born time and time again with healing hands and a kind heart to a fault. Gifted with the ability to take away memories from people. However, with the newly strengthened curse... if he looses control of his emotions, whether good or bad, he has no control of his power and can steal away someone's memories without control.
open
The Snake
Every touch from them takes a time off your life. Like a lovely flower drenched in poison of an angry goddess. At first , the affected doesn't really feel much. Maybe an extra bit exhausted for a couple of sniffles here and there. However the more time spent in the presence of the snake, the worse the sickness progresses. To the point where one is left hospitalized unknowingly. Zodiac members are still affected but some have a greater tolerance to it.
open
The Horse
A wish can be a powerful thing, a negative thought even deadlier. Prone to a meloncholy nature. Her thoughts have influence over a person's will. If she wishes secrety in her heart for someone's downfall, an ill wish for them to die persay. Then that action may actuallyhappen to them on some degree. Based off the intensity of their emotions atthe current tie and the frequency of said thought. Good things are much rarer to occur, only darkening their heart that much more.
open
The Ram
Their curse is tied in tandum to the Tiger spirit. However, instead of forgetting, they are the ones being forgotton. As if they never even existed, a walking apparition among the living. For similar reasons they keep their distance from forming any bonds with people. The only people unafflicted by this curse are the zodiac members and the cruel god of the family.
open
The Monkey
They live life waiting anxiously to find their out their curse. The extra layer of burden sprinkled on to the zodiac members. It wasn't until after they first accidently transformed into their zodiac counterpart that they discovered their curse's oddity. Body parts that did not belong to them hanging oddly off their skin, in their intimate areas. Every time after they transform back from their animal spirit form, they switch genders. A truly confusing gambit to try and play into their life. ☆ Resides within the Saeki Estate.

The Rooster
The day they were born the sky turned blacker than night. It was an unpredicyed eclipse of the sun that day. Maybe so the sun could shield its eyes from the creature's horrible birth. With their curse stregthened it loomed over thwir head like a dangerous cloud, figurativly and literaly. This person's mood affects the flow of the weather. Happy equaling sun and negative feelings like sadness or anger creating thunderstorms and even out of season monsoons. Their family keeps them locked away, typically sedated on drugs that lulls them into a rose colored haze. ☆ Resides within the Saeki Estate.
open
The Dog
Upon meeting them you feel instantly drawn, no matter how brief the encounter. A magnetic attraction forms in a victim's heart. Till one becomes obsessed with the thought of the zodiac member. A spell-like induced amore you are unable to shake. Unfortunately, the dog has no control over this and gains countless admirers. Its quite a lonely existence. Not knowing who truly loves them versus those afflicted by their curse. Certain Zodiac members are unaffected by this phenomena. ☆ Resides within the Saeki Estate.
open
The Boar
During childbirth they killed their mother due to such a violent birth. It was pretty obvious when the doctor picked them up and their little hand pushing him away caused the poor doctor to fly across the room, severely injured. Everyone thought hitting the ground at such a young age would cause permanent damage. However their curse of superhuman strength protected them, and also throughout their life injured many others.
open
The Cat
A foul beast, hated the most by the twisted God; who wanted all to know of The Cat's original sin. To any human born with this spirit they have two inhuman evidence of their corrupted soul. Cat ears that are only repressed by the talisman of bone and blood by a great Sage. Three days before and after the full moon, what could be beautiful nights for most turns into a nightmare for the Cat spirit. Once the sun sets they shed their human skin, taking on their true cursed form. Nothing can stop their transformation into the true cursed form of the Cat Spirit, not even their usual talisman to keep their form in check. Leaving behind in their wake a bloody path and confusion to the locals.

rule one!
Based off of the anime/manga Fruits Basket loosely with an added twist. While I am not requiring extensive knowledge of the series, since this is not following the plot and does not include canon characters. I would still like everyone who joins to have a general gist of the anime and general themes. Something as simple as reading a short ploy synopsis would work!
rule two!
Don't join if your more of a passive role player and require other people to guide you through interactions because I would much rather have a few people contributing to the plot. Just so the Rp moves quicker and smoother, with like minded roleplayers. We will have a discord where we will have our own private chats and ooc and such.
rule three!
This rp can hint on heavier themes since I wanted a bit more of a darker twist from the original adaptations. Please let me know if their are any certain triggers you may have so I can assure no one oversteps any certain boundaries and everyone can have the best time possible. This rp is also a safe space for all lgbtq+ characters to exist.
rule four!
Roles are not first come first serve and will go through an App screening process. I will post an App thread sometime but you can also feel free to PM me your character app too! This doesn't guarantee you the role but I know some people like to be more private with their OCs to ensure nothing gets stolen and I respect that! But if accepted you will be required to post your character on the thread obviously.
rule five!
All characters should be of college age or older for this RP. The lowest age acceptable is 19 . Also in case it wasn't obvious but I'm only anime/manga/art face claims for this. Preferably not your own artwork and nothing to realistic.
