To Paradise (planning/discussion topic)

[Galedeep]

Sometime ago a member (James GryphonI believe ) came up with an idea of what the world of Redwall would look like in a 18th century/Wild West setting. Since I read those thoughts, the idea has infatuated  me ever since. So I thought it would be a grand Idea to make an RP about it.

Basics:
Technology has increased by this time, with steampowered trains, better ships, and gunpowder weapons (think muskets, blunderbusses, one/two shot pistols, and the rarer six-shooter) However, it should be noted weapons like swords, bows, ect are still commonplace.
The beginning of the RP will take place to the far east of Redwall in a North American style desert. This of course allows for a plethora  of new creatures like Racoons, Chipmunks, Geckos and so on.

Story Starter:
Brookwater is a wild and thriving mining town in the middle of the Wide plains. So it comes as nothing new when a strange mouse with little else but his clothes, a wide brimmed hat, and a ancient sword shows up trying to hire adventurous beasts for an expedition. But some are attracted to his wild claims of a  paradise to the east, an Abbey called Redwall...

Oh, you found it! Good. However it's not going to be exactly like that, for instance i'd rather stick to the traditional Redwall size scaling of animals

Yes, modern names are most welccome

I can be him

[Calaron]

Name:  Mota Liede
Species:  Coyote
Age:  22
Description:  He has a mottled reddish-brown and grey coat.  He wears a newer looking hat, almost a fedora.  When he travels, he wears a long coat, gloves, and boots.
Tools/weapons:  He has two doubled barreled pistols which he conceals on his person at all times, a rapier which he reserves for traveling and two daggers, one of which is always with him, the other for traveling.  He is a well known performer, singing, stage magic, and acting.  He always has some money. He is also frequently suspected, though never (yet) caught, as a thief.
Bio:  Mota is a traveling performer.  He makes his living with his talents.  He has been suspected to be a thief before.  This is true, though he avoids stealing unless he has to.  Or something is simply irresistible.  In his travels and in the songs and stories he has heard and learned, he came across the mention of a magnificent place known by the color of it's walls.  Redwall Abbey.  The songs and stories would lead him there, if he could just find people to join him.  Perhaps this newest town, Brookwater, would lead him to it.  Perhaps that legendary mouse mentioned in some of the songs and tales would be there.  After all, every story has to start somehow.

I was thinking a sort of blend between the two, not all mice will be good and not all rats will be bad. however i'm a big fan of BJ's distinctions between good and evil so i'd rather not have a "grey" villain(s)

[Dannflor]

 So am I on ?
