THE RP
In this AU Animorphs Roleplay, the Animorphs are college age students. They still have to fight the Yeerks, and controllers are still everywhere. Anyone could be a controller- even you. They need help. Whether you fight for or against the Yeerks, you are needed in this war. Visser Three isn't afraid to destroy whomever he needs to.
Want to be staff? Staff positions are also available!
NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANIMORPHS NESSICARY!
(If you'd really like to, the show is on Netflix, and this is also a good source to find information!)
UPDATED: MORE INFO BY REQUEST OF A TUMBLR USER
Thank you for asking these questions that you did, as it really made me think more about the plot and such. Now, on to answer your questions;
Ah, yes. I guess I really should have elaborated on this! This plot is very similar to that of the books, but I can elaborate. The Animorphs, this time, are (if this is what people would like) a bit older, though, it doesn't have to be that way. I'll likely be removing the set ages, due to various requests. (Including yours. I really do appreciate feedback!) The Yeerk invasion of Earth occurs in this, but Cassie, Rachel, Jake, Marco and Tobias were not the ones there that fateful night at the construction site. Instead, it was a different group. These kids/teenagers (however old they end up being) were the ones to gain the power to morph. They have to fight the Yeerks like the original Animorphs did, or in this case, didn't. The Sharing and other such things related to the original series are still present! Visser Three is still the one in charge of the Yeerk invasion of Earth.
As said above, I will be removing the set ages (after making this post), but I can answer your other concerns as well. With the 5 available spots, it represents the original human Animorphs. Gradually, others, such as perhaps an Andalite, will be able to join the Animorphs through plotting with those who play them.
Missing out on an Animorph spot is not permanent in the least. I plan on opening more spots later on, but this was more so to start the site off. RP on this site is not just one-on-one, though it can be. You can also have multiple people in your thread if you wish.
On the RP's I've done for the past (almost seven) years, it's always been that if you RP a one-on-one, you still are abiding by the original plot. You, of course, can create your own smaller plots, but it's best if you don't deviate from the main plot too insanely. You are correct on the reason I limit Andalites, as it would be difficult if every single person was an Andalite, with no Yeerks.
I see you've RP'd quite a bit more than me, so I really do appreciate the advice! To acquire said permission to be an Andalite, as you asked, (and I should put this in the rules, *mental note*) all you would have to do is either PM a staff member with an RP sample. It doesn't necessarily have to be a very lengthy one, but it is welcome to be. Or, if you'd rather, you can fill out the form that you would use to become an Animorph, but make a note for it to be an Andalite instead.
That's a very good question, and don't worry, it's never too many questions when you're helping out! As for Visser Three, he is still going to be in charge of the Yeerk invasion of Earth. I am hoping to find someone with RP experience (like yourself, for example) to play him. I will be putting him on the list of needed characters when I'm finished writing this!
Also, as I've already said a few times, thank you for the feedback! I'm really glad to have to help!
It isn’t very clear to me what you’re aiming for in terms of plot, I can’t find any clear information what it’s about other than what it says in the Plot thread, which is the same as here in this tumblr post.

I see that we can have one-on-one RPs (which is great because that’s all I do) but do we follow this plot we know nothing about yet, or wing it? Also, (and this isn’t a real concern for me because I don’t plan on playing an actual animorph) but I find it odd that there are only 5 (out of 6) available actual animorph spots… with already set ages??
As said above, I will be removing the set ages (after making this post), but I can answer your other concerns as well. With the 5 available spots, it represents the original human Animorphs.

If I wing a (private) one-on-one RP with someone else, and he/she happened to miss out on one of those animorph spots, we’re out of luck? I’d like some more clarity on this please, because it just seems odd to me, not to mention very restricting. For a big group RP it makes sense to have it restricted to only a handful, but not for one-on-ones. Unless you have a different meaning on what an one-on-one RP is about.

the same applies for Andalite characters. Again, in a big group RP I get you can’t have a dozen andalites running around and it makes sense to have to ask permission to make one to ensure the few andalites you do get are well written characters. But again, does the same count for one-on-one RPs, which aren’t really anyone else’s business but my own and that of the person I’m writing with?

I’m a huge sucker of andalite lore and culture myself and I have no real interest in playing a human (I’ve played plenty of humans/humanoids in my 13 or so years of RPing so yeah High time for something different). But I do already have an andalite OC, one I haven’t been able to actually RP yet… which is why I am asking. If you really want to limit the amount of andalites on the forum, one-on-one RPs or not, what does it take to acquire said permission? ^^ Because I’d use my andalite’s name to actually sign on if I do.

What are your plans with everyone’s favorite villain? Visser Three has been my fav ever since I first read the books as a kid (and I always found he wasn’t evil enough lol. I have a thing for bad guys but I feel like he was limited in his evil ways because they are essentially children’s books).
Is someone going to write this guy or…?
That’s it for now. Sorry if I’m asking too many questions, but if this is my chance to get a hopefully good Animorphs RP going, seeing as none of my immediate friends have read the books or are familiar with the fandom (and shame on them)… well yeah.
Anyway, thanks in advance~
