Little Red Riding Hood is a timeless fairytale, one that's been around since the 1600s, and maybe even longer. And as we all know, real life loves to emulate fiction. Though, this time around, things are a bit different.

Morrigan Cadeyrn, to most of the people who know her, is a farmer. On the outskirts of a busy capitol, she owns and runs exactly that, a small farm inherited from her mother. But what most people don't know, is that's just her day job. Little Red Riding Hood is a notorious criminal, by the name of Scarlet.

The Big Bad Wolf is a cop. More specifically, he's the leader of a squad of genetically engineered police officers, assigned the capture and delivery of 'Scarlet' to the King, where she's set to be tried, and likely executed, for her crimes. So that's what he does. Hunts her down and captures her.

The two absolutely can't stand each other. Morrigan has never liked cops, thanks to a few bad run ins and experiences, and the obvious hate she should have for the people who have been hunting her down. And he has no warmth in his heart for the easy-going criminal, who is somehow managing to befriend his squad bit by bit. Needless to say, every interaction between the two is very much the opposite of friendly.

But things begin to change as the two are thrown through incident after incident, all seemingly directed at Morrigan. Not just inconveniencing, but with the intent of getting rid of her and the squad. For good. It doesn’t take long for them to figure out that somebody isn’t just trying to get rid of them, but looking to start a war. Now, the two have to put aside their differences, reluctantly forming an alliance as they search for the source of these attacks, which might be closer to home than they realize.


  1. No OP characters, or I will yeet your ass outta here before you can say 'this bitch empty'. I can't stand invincible characters, man.

  2. Proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization, please. I can get making a few mistakes, when you're tired, or English ain't your first language(It's mine, and even I have my issues), but if it's too common a thing, it irks the hell outta me. Call me a bitch, but hey.

  3. Slurs, homophobia, transphobia, rascism, sexism, anything that ends in -ism and that harms or promotes the harm of other people will not be tolerated. See my first threat.

  4. Detailed-ish responses, please. Think three or more sentences. To keep it going.

  5. Please, be on fairly often. Vacations, school, and jobs are all things I can get, but I'd like for this to have a regular pace!

  6. I have the full right to add and edit this list. I also have the right to boot you if you're causing too many problems.


This asshole finally finished up that last class and is celebrating by starting up another roleplay before summer school. So here we are! By genetically engineered, I mean anything from wolf-like, to werewolf. Just….wolfy. The whole rp draws inspiration from the fairytale, but I've obviously switched plenty of things up.

Name: Morrigan Cadeyrn
Nicknames: Cade, Scarlet, Red
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
Appearance: Choppily cut dark red hair to a little below her shoulders, that blazes like a fire in direct sunlight and swaps between curly and wavy depending on the day. Despite spending so much time out in the sun, she has lighter skin. She can tan, but it evidently takes a lot of work, so she never really bothered. Bruises hella easy though. Smattering of freckles on her cheeks and nose. Her right arm has been replaced by a mechanical prosthetic(think Shiro, from VLD, if you must.), and there are visible scars on her shoulder where it was attached. Covered in various scars. 5'4 and a mix of natural curves and muscle, from the physical labor required to run a farm. Her eyes are an extremely light golden-brown that, when she uses her abilities, turns more to the gold side.
Usual Outfit: A red zip-up hoodie, rolls the sleeves up when she needs to or feels like it, but prefers keeping them down to hide her arm. A black camisole-like top, and ripped blue jeans, tucked into old black combat boots. Her jeans have spots of grease stains and soot, like she'd wiped her palms off after sticking her hands into a fire place. A coin-like pendant on a leather cord, a gift from her mother before she died. She never takes it off. Wears a pair of finger less black leather gloves, and keeps a handgun tucked into the waistband of her jeans, and a few knives in her jacket and boots. Keeps her hair back with a bandana the same color as her hoodie when she's working.
Personality: She used to be an incredibly bubbly and happy girl, but the death of her mother and her place in the criminal underworld have taken somewhat of a toll on her.. She's more cynical and jaded now, and mysterious when it comes to her past. Loves playing Moral Roulette. Seems to have lost her sense of self-preservation somewhere along the line, resulting in fairly reckless behavior. When she's working, though, she definitely seems more at peace.
Likes: Her gun, anything and everything about the stars, fire, spicy food, a good fight, pulling off an escape, black coffee, the farm, her grandmother.
Dislikes: Too-sweet things, being alone, not being able to see, tea, any mentions of Eiriosis(a fictional disease, but real in this 'universe').
Magic(if applicable): She's descended from a species that can withstand extreme heat, and basically turn themselves into beings of fire. This has materialized in pyrokinesis, but it saps her energy if used too much, and is incredibly hard to control once in use.
Backstory: Morrigan never knew her father, and was raised by her mother and grandmother on the family's farm, just outside the city of Cacitet. When she was twelve, her mother contracted Eiriosis, and passed away two years later. Her grandmother took over the farm until she was old enough to manage it herself, which is when her grandmother retired and moved to the city. Morrigan hired an ex-con friend of hers once he was released from prison, and at some point, began hiring other ex-cons and criminals, giving them a second chance at a normal life. Slightly ironic, considering she herself is a criminal, but that might be part of it. Her wanting others a chance at a life she feels like she herself can't reach. Speaking of her criminal pastimes, they began when she was eighteen, when the farm was in danger of being shut down due to lack of funds. Now, she acts as sort of a Robin Hood(blending fairytales is great) while Scarlet, though the police obviously don't see it that way.
Fears: Losing someone she loves to Eiriosis, like she did her mother. Being caught by the police, or leading them to the farm. Losing control.
Other: Trigger happy might be an understatement.

Beyond the specifications up above, such as male, and wolf-like in abilities(werewolf, just wolf-like traits, a mix), that's basically what you'd be doing, yeah.

My power went out due to a wind storm so I'm on my phone at the moment. And my character template I was doing was on my laptop. Hopefully I'll have it up tomorrow, but unless the power comes on soon, I probably won't.

@Echo_6 group

Stupid wind storm. The day started out with not a cloud in the sky. And ended with me sitting in the dark. Without power. And listening to thunder. Stupid indecisive Oregon weather.

@croccin-champagne

I hear it's like that in a lot of places lmao, no weather patterns that make sense. I hope you get your power back, power outages can get boring fairly quick

Every Monday, Morrigan visited her grandmother. Her delivery route ran straight past where she lived, making it easy for her to drop by and spend an hour or so at her grandmother's place, chatting about the latest gossip on the farm and in the older woman's book club, something the two enjoyed, even if Morrigan would never admit it. She could deny loving gossip all she wanted, but those meet-ups proved otherwise, and she knew it.

Slipping the sunglasses she kept in the glovebox of the delivery truck on, she shoved a hand through her mess of red curls, pushing said hair out of her face as she stepped out of the truck. "Hey, Johnson! Getcha ass o'er here an' help me with these boxes!" She shouted, waving to the group of men loitering around the alley outside the restaurant she was delivering to. With a grin and a laugh, one of the men stood, helping her unload the boxes of produce and eggs, and handing them off to the other men to take inside. That was how all of her Mondays, went, delivering, visiting her grandmother, and a bit more delivering before heading back to the farm. It had been that way for years, and she loved it. Though, when she woke up, she definitely hadn't been expecting a cop with keen enough eyes to notice the light glinting off her metal fingers, and then putting two and two together.

Keith sat in his patrol vehicle with the radio on low. It was right at the end of his shift and he was on the outskirts of the city. He could see the moonrise over the distant horizon. He wasn't really physically tired, but he was pretty mentally tired. It had been a long day, and he only had half an hour to go. That was when he spotted, the young lady, with the metal hand, barely from where he was sitting. He sighed and picked up the radio next to him. "Control 10, Adam 10."
"Adam 10 go," he got the response seconds after he spoke.
"I believe I have spotted our hard to get criminal, Morrigan Caydren. Requesting additional, and making contact."
"Understood, use caution."
"10-4," he opened his door and set the radio down, before climbing out and approaching the woman."

@croccin-champagne

The red of Morrigan's hoodie stood out among the darker colors worn by the men she was laughing with, and her hair drew just as much attention. One ore quick stop, then it's to mémé's place. "Alright, alright. See ya fellas sooner or later." She was met with a chorus of goodbyes, and a punch to the shoulder. That was a mistake on Johnson's part though, as he'd punched her metal arm. That was followed by a string of curses and laughter from the others.

"Stars be damned, kid, that arm o' yours hurts."

"Tha's what I thought when it was comin' off." She shot back, sticking out her tongue at him as she turned towards her truck, only to come to a complete stop. Fuck. There's no way-

"Cade? Why the hell's a copper on his way over?" Johnson's voice snapped her out of her thoughts, drawing the attention of the other men.

@Echo_6 group

As Keith approached he noticed that he'd gained everyone's attentions. He slowed to a stop a safe but close distance from Morrigan. "Evening. May I have a word with the lady for a moment? No one is in trouble as of this moment, and your cooperation is key in keeping it that way."

@croccin-champagne

"That depends on what words'll be comin' outta your mouth." Johnson said, crossing his arms over his chest and straightening as he stepped in front of Morrigan, successfully making himself even more opposing. The other men circled a bit tighter around her, eyeing the officer with distrust.

"'S a'ight big guy, cool your roll." Morrigan said, nudging him out of the way with an easy grin. She quirked an eyebrow at the officer, shoving her hands into the pockets of her jeans as she stepped away from the men gathered. "Lead the way, Gun Man."

@Echo_6 group

"Hey, I don't even have my taser out," Keith defended himself. "And we can stay right here for the moment if that would make your companions feel better. Also please keep your hands where I can see them if you don't mind. I don't know if you have a knife somewhere that you're gonna stab me with or anything. I'm not saying you would do that, but there are people out there who would."

@croccin-champagne

"I ain't gonna dirty up my knives just t' stab ya, don' worry." Morrigan said, pulling her hands from her pockets and placing them behind her head with a cheeky wink. "These assholes should be gettin' back t' work anyway." While that was true, it wasn't her main concern. She didn't want them drawing the attention of the police, knowing that a few, if not all, of them had not-so-clean pasts.

"I'm not-"

"Get outta here, man." She bumped Johnson with her hip, grinning up at him. The difference in expression was obvious, this smile much more warm and friendly than the guarded one she'd shot the officer. With a grumble, Johnson nodded, patting her shoulder once before herding the other men in the door. "Now, wha's all the fuss abou', Gun Man?" She was apparently in no hurry to quit calling him that.

@Echo_6 group

"Can I get your name and date of birth please?" He pulled out a small note book and a pen. Clicking open the pen and flipping to a blank page of the not book. "I just need them to check something. I'm not saying you are, but you look like a wanted criminal we've been looking for. So I just have to make sure. As annoying as it probably is."

@croccin-champagne

"Oh, sure thing. Flannery Rouge, June 13th, 3000 on the dot." Morrigan Cadeyrn, December 1st, 3000. That's the one truth you get. She said, letting her hand drop to roll her shoulders, the metal making absolutely no sound. While she hated the way she'd gotten it, the one good thing was that it functioned as much like her flesh arm as it could.
