       I guess I'll jump in, I'll have to finish later though, only got 10 minutes.

Name: Qross Shallois

Gender: Female

Age: 25

Species: Otter

Weapon: The standard otter sling and a simple, steel knife serve as viable options, but she much prefers her halberd (Known as the High Tide) and wooden targe. The halberd is a holt heirloom, the blade is tempered silver with an ashen, etched broken wave sigil on either side, held with a haft of cedar long hardened by amber, accompanied by a sling (the equivalent of a sheath for a weapon this size) made from the same eel's skin as her belt. The targe is rounded, and made from cherry wood with a singed black emblem on the front, a wave split down the middle by a shortsword crowned by watercress.

Appearance: Lithe, sleek, smooth, even when out of the water. Her body and fur do not follow the typical, rough mold for otter physiology, being more flexible and toned than strictly powerful. Said fur is dark chocolate brown, with wheat/tan underbelly all crowned by her pearlescent, light green eyes. She wears the tunic of her holt, being taupe in color on the front/back, with one wavy, pine green streak on the sides stretching up and enveloping the sleeves. This tunic is held at the waist by a traditional, eel-skin belt made from one she wrestled herself, a practice of her tribe's warriors. When ready to fight, she also wears a black leather cuirass, only going halfway down the back, and with thinner abdomen coverage on the front. Along with a similar, thin, leather forearm wrap (both arms) with amber coated oak bark serving as a guard for the outside of the forearm and hand (right arm only). Formal attire consists of a tunic bearing the same design, but with royal blue as the primary color, accentuated by taupe streak and sleeves, all accompanied by a taupe neckerchief bearing a white-threaded watercress emblem.

Personality: Amiable, prone to smiling and giggling, but is not the sort to laugh uproariously. She loves seeing beasts enjoying themselves and working in tandem, in peace. This peace is her goal, one to which violence is seen as an unfortunate, and preferably avoided answer. That having been said, when the time comes, she will strike with the same passion, not being of the sort to be blinded by the simple ideal she longs for, despite the grief that ending lives so keenly brings.

History: Qross comes from a healthy holt up the river moss from the ford, having been born to a respected, elder family within. As such she had a reputation to hold, and it was not long before her potential as a Shark Tooth (the standing militant force) was realized. Being of slightly smaller stature than was normal, especially within Teeth, she found herself being trained in many of the intelligence and diplomacy based tasks; However, she also realized a greater proficiency with javelins as a stave instead of a throwing weapon, resulting in her inclusion in the rather small contingent of pole-arm weapons specialists. Her role shifted yet again, as her usefulness was found to be uncannily diverse. With the summation of her family name, combat prowess, followed principles, and general competency, she was chosen to wield the holt's representative weapon. In more recent years, her kin have gotten friendly with the Redwallers, so much so that they've established trade for goods, and are not shy to coordinate events or celebrations together if such is appropriate. Thus meaning that Miss Shallois often finds herself around the Abbey.

Other (optional): All armor and weapon choices are made with the specific intention of providing options without compromising the otter's advantage near water. The eel she wrestled in reference to tradition was an accident that occurred a handful of seasons before was customary, further proving her mettle to her fellow otters.

[Jack the Quick]

that's the point he is un-remarkable when you look at him. He just kind of blends in with the crowd, at most he is a squirrel with a slightly longer than normal nose and is taller than others but other than that he is perfectly average to look at. the idea is he doesn't look like hero material but he actually is.

I get that part, but I meant what they often wear, stuff like that. But that makes sense, what he would wear would probably reflect that in whatever situation he would be in. Now that that's settled, accepted!

[Jack the Quick]

@Tungro, are you in or not?
If he is, then one spot left!
By the way, I added my character.

[One-Eye the wildcat]

Is there any room for me?

[Jack the Quick]

Yep! Definitely!
I will ask again, @Tungro, are you playing?

[Tungro]

I'll have to sit this one out

[Kolman]

sadness

[Dannflower Reguba]

       Might I inquire of those gathered to indulge us as to anybeasts thoughts on the currently barren plot at hand? What is everyone's hope for the RP? How do you want to build your characters? What plights do we want to see befall the Redwall folk this time around?

EDIT: I also happen to have completed the application @Jack the Quick

[Kolman]

I suggest that the patrol at first encounter seeming disconnected vermin parties that later prove to be the vanguard of a conquering horde led by wild cat trying to reclaim Mortspear's empire

[Jack the Quick]

Accepted, Dann! Wow, you sure did a lot more than the rest of us. Kolman, sounds good! Dann, the idea is that my character decided that we did not have enough defense at Redwall, so he founded the Mossflower patrol. By the way, @Kolman @danflorreguba @One-Eye the wildcat I decided that one of you should be the Abbey Warrior. I also named my character's sword Domitor

[Kolman]

Kaden is a bit young to be the warrior of Redwall

[Jack the Quick]

Yes. I don't think Dann's wpuld work either. Maybe when @One-Eye the wildcat makes his or the last person joins.

[Dannflower Reguba]

       You're right about Qross, she's already essentially her holt's equivalent of a champion, and serves them before Redwall or even the rest of Mossflower. Also, if you spend as much time here as I have, you'll gain plenty of your own detail.

[Kolman]

Maybe Redwall doesn't a Warrior in this time period maybe someone gets selected near the end of the game?

[Jack the Quick]

That's a good point, espiecially since my character was just offered the position. They wouldn't have made another offer so soon. Dann, I hope so
