Forbidden Truce - An AU RP

[Faiyloe]

A feud has been going on between the Gretheg and the Lonel Family and their followers for generations now. Things have escalated so much in the past few years so that they now never go out unarmed and when they meet blood is often spilled. sabotage and revenge are on the rise and many creatures predict a war is coming.

This is and Alternate Universe Rollplay that I have been thinking about. The world is very much like a mix between medieval  England and Ireland and Iceland. There is a kind of feudal system with the Lonel and the Gretheg family being the lord over there own estate (the England part). There is also a lot of open country (the Ireland Part). There is some magic but very little and only in the form of legend or superstition mainly. They believe in things like dragons, trolls, fairys and curses.     

The Gretheg family is a family of otters (You do not have to be and otter to be a follower of the Gretheg family). There estate is divided between the two brothers Donivin and Orvil. (They still work together against the Lonel family and are on good terms with each other). Donivin is the younger brother his men are the best archers and trackers in the land. His estate includes much forestland and is the smaller of the two. Orvil is the older brother and owns the larger estate.

The Lonel family is a family of squirrels lead by The lady Garvina Shield Maiden. (you do not have to be a squirrel to be a follower of the Lonel family) 

Rules

Rules

- Most characters are kind of gray. There is not clear line of good and bad. 

- There is not species bias. Rats are just as likely to be friendly as mice.

- To be a member of the Lonel family you have to be a squirrel but if you want to be a follower you can be anything you want.

- To be a member of the Gretheg family you have to be an otter but if you want to be a follower you can be anything you want. (inside reason there is more likely to be less squirrels on Gretheg's side and less otters on Lonel's)

- Make your posts count. There is no post minimum just so long as you make each post count. if a post doesn't move the story along, develop plot or develop you character don't post it.

- This is not a Romeo and Juliet! that doesn't mean there cant be a little romance but that is not what this RP is about. There are many directions this RP can go and that is not one of them.

- Start with Two characters and then latter I might up that number.

Not to big myself up or anything, but I'd say I have Role Playing experience. Could I have Donavin? He sounds like my type of character.
I'm planning on making another character, but I'm still planning them out. So I'll post a sheet later.

[Faiyloe]

Looks good I would like to worn you that there is no sea near by so he would mostly be more of a smuggler now than a corsair. Also as to the friend ship with The Lonel family. I would like that to be fairly new. If it is started in the actual RP that would be even better...
