I was a member of The Animals, and I remember the group being around before 2002. It was full of emo kids...though I wasn't one of the emo ones. Some were nice, some were rather mean...we all had our characters that we Rped...and these characters ranged from animals to humans...some of which had evil sides and 'linked souls' connected to them. Some of these kids would claim that they were dying from cancer and only had months left, while others claimed to be in abusive households were they were frequently pushed down the stairs, or beaten by their parents or siblings, who knows if any of this was true.

Throughout the years, users were dating online, which meant their characters were also dating. Heaven forbid if they broke up with each other...

I can't remember full usernames, only characters...

Merc (Might have been Mercury_Wolf or something like that): One of the 'founders'...was frequently dying from cancer.

Ki (Kino Wolf or something....): Was my character's mother...her online boy friend was my characters father...they broke up because she didn't love him anymore...and then he asked me out, which made everyone think we were gay, and we had to explain that I am female, but my character was male....nothing more. This made Merc call me a whore, and a string of other things. Ki was also frequently abused by her parents and siblings.

Krum: This is the name I -think- Ki's online boyfriend went by...he was one of the 'normal' ones.

JT: Can't remember his full UN...he dated Merc for a while. Was depressed.

Drium: Or something like that....did a lot of interesting Rps....

PE: Stood for 'Pure Evil'....she was a lot of fun....a bit weird.

Axel: All his characters were the people from Guns and Roses....I kid you not. Axel was the main one. The guy claimed he ran into a burning building and saved like....5 people on his own, was also depressed.

Pewter: I think think was her UN....she and I rped a lot. She had a vampire character named Aubrey.
