Welcome, to the Barkhills OOC

[The Skarzs]

This RP may turn out being a bit slow, so I'd like to apologize ahead for that.

Some explanations:
1. The geography: this land is west of Mossflower, far over the ocean. It is mountainous and covered in trees (mostly evergreen) almost completely, earning it the name of 'Barkhills'.
2. The culture: Many of the creatures in this land eat meat, and hunt game animals such as deer, elk, and some birds for a part of their diet. The land is ruled by a singular wolf lord, a practice that has been followed for countless seasons. He is chosen as such for his virtues, strength in battle, and wisdom in decisions, both in battle and in domestic life. Their language is known as the Common Tongue, and is the same as that in Mossflower, only with a deeply rooted accent.
3. The origins: This is from a book that I am writing, and, while not connected in the story with Redwall, I find it fun to make tie-ins.
4. The creatures: The following list of animals are native to the Barkhills that are not native to Mossflower: Cougars, lynxes, bobcats, opossums, raccoons, coyotes, wolves, porcupines, beavers, and bears. Some of these have an obvious size advantage over mice, ferrets, and the like, even though sizes have been altered for the reason of believability in battle. Any and all beasts can be evil, or good, or neutral. The larger animals, are, however, fewer in number.

Any questions on these will be answered.

A brief history.
The Barkhills was ruled by the wolf lords for a long time, but their power was only a little, and the creatures in the land far spread out and without much of any law. The wolves, few in number, left and presided in the mountains, helpless when a raccoon quickly rose to power. After a great war, they were returned to the seat and remained there since as a central military unit for the protection of the land and it's inhabitants, not a tyrannical overlord. There is a council that helps decide laws, keeping the wolf lord from holding more power than needed. Often they need to repel borders from attacks of outsiders and rebellions of insiders.

The story: (I would like more characters to be from Redwall than the Barkhills). Creatures from Mossflower sail off adventuring for whatever reason, and, due to a storm that wrecks their ship, find themselves at the Barkhills. They are greeted and helped by the creatures there, but trouble brews within the heart of the land, and has yet to show it's face. . .

[The Skarzs]

Up to three, but only if you are fairly experienced in role playing. If I see a lack of decent posts due to too many, I may ask that you drop one or give them to another person.
Also, I'm going to be editing in a list showing the sizes of the creatures in this RP.

[Cornflower MM]

Okay. So, does that mean I get my two?

[The Skarzs]

Yep; feel free to finish them whenever.

[Gonff the Mousethief]

I'd like to join this ! I will post my characters soon.

[Cornflower MM]

Ooh! Can my second pone be a coyote? I'll wait to put that bit in, just in case it's not alright.

Rats are native to Redwall. . . . . . . . .


STUPID CHEEZ-IT FREAKING chicken-A-DOODLE-DOO INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Skarzs]

I'll edit in my character when I get a chance. For the species part, can he be a rat in the wolf king's service?

I'd like it if you wait a bit until we get more creatures from Redwall. If you want, you may try two characters, though, and one of them can be what you requested.

[Jasper]

alright, I'll make a redwall one then.

[The Skarzs]

If you're comfortable with two characters, though, you can do both.

[Jasper]

alright I filled in my character, how's he look to you?
Also when do we plan on startin this?

[Cornflower MM]

Quite impatient, aren't ya Jasper? The time always varies when a new RP tarts.
