Bird RP!

[Cornflower MM]

Okay. Time for a new RP from my brain. Any name suggestions would be welcome because I frankly suck at naming RPs. Hence the temp name above. ^

Plot

At the edge of Mossflower Wood (Not the sea edge. The other one. You don't know it because it was never mentioned.) there's a peaceful community of birds. A group of younger birds have grown itchy wings, tired of the peace, quiet, and routine of the life in the flock. They've all heard of legendary Redwall Abbey, and wish to try to find it, have a little adventure and fun. The elders of the flock agree, thinking it would be a good life experience and anyway if they refuse the youngsters will doubtless pitch a fit and sneak out.

The day before they are set to depart, their mission suddenly becomes much more dire, as a sickness starts to go around, a sickness the two healers have never seen before and have no idea if their medicine will work. Maybe the Redwall creatures will know!
So off go the birds, trying to get to Redwall before the sickness wipes out the entire flock.

Who said it would be easy?

No, no, I totally didn't just make up half the plot right now. (Hey, that's how I work, if you don't like it, go join Del's RP.)

Rules:

1: The obvious. No PPing, no GMing, yadda yadda. You know the drill, and I'm sure you know I refuse to tolerate that sort of thing.
2: If you drop out, or stop posting, or forget to post for a week or so, if I have had no warning, I will message you. If no reply, your tail is getting kicked out. (Watch me be the first to break my own rule. Ha! )
3: It's fine if your bird isn't in the Redwall universe. Or flightless. I fully intend to play a chicken and make it work. (Don't ask how, I dunno) HOWEVER: If your bird is flightless (Like a chicken) then you must play another bird that can fly.
4: Two characters max. Unless I know you can handle more, and know you can commit.
5: Please, only birds. We can PP vermin and Redwall people when we come to that, but don't get too attached. This is about birds. Not the band of random creatures with like three birds. Nuh-uh.

He's not one for talking about himself or giving out information.

Del's

Name: Aodh Flamewing
Gender: Male
Age: 17

Fatch's

Name: Tryk
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Species: Humming Bird
Personality: Jumpy, carefree and shallow, like most humming birds. His rapid wing velocity allows him to hover in place, and he can dart in and out of tight locations quickly. Tryk's parents are just like him, and don't see anything right or wrong with the journey, so they left it up to him to decide to go or not. Tryk, often a "why not" sort of bird, was happy to go.
Appearance: (Feel free to also post a picture, I know birds can be hard to describe)
The appearance isn't too important. He's just the average humming bird.  Just type "Humming Bird" into your search engine to see it for yourself, if you like.

Sand's

Name: Besune
Gender: Female
Age: Young Adult
Species: Black Gnatcatcher

Personality: A feisty and hot tempered little bird Besune is a warrior and hunter for the Gnatcatcher kind. As she is the third hatchling of the Gnatcatcher Chieftain she is a highborn of sorts, however she does not truly have any titles she sometimes uses her position when needed to get her own way. Besune's rank amongst birds gives her a certain sense of command which she likes to use on those she considers under her.
   A lack of close friends had left Besune a lonely creature, but she refuses to admit it surrounding herself with forced friends and unwilling lackeys. Still, as hot tempered as she can be Besune has her moments of self-doubt and indecision. That being said she would rather dive head first into a fight or hunt before thinking, and she can act as if she is invincible making her a great concern for her parents. Besune is used to getting what she wants, and when opportunities to do something new and exciting arise she is usually the first to go forward.

Appearance: Grey feathered back with light tan wings and a black tail. Besune holds her head and beak high as a sign of confidence, and keeps her feathers almost meticulously clean.

Spoiler

[close]

History: Third hatchling to the East Wood Gnatcatcher Chieftain: Besune grew up with a slightly more privileged life then many others of her kind, though not by much. As the Gnatcatcher nests is integrated with many other bird species, the Gnatcatcher "chieftain" holds very little real power outside of his own kind. Many of which hardly listen to him anyway unless he's within wing buffeting distance.
   Besune grew up in the mess of half loyalties and pretend power. She often resorted using a mix of her own strength, willpower, and position to get her way amongst the Gnatcatchers and other birds. Life went on like this for several seasons until the opportunity arose for her to join the journey.

Other: N/A

I think that's all for now, I'll put up my characters later. Along with anything else I can think of. . . . .

NOTES:
We will be starting week after next.
I will be throwing random obstacles in the mix to keep things interesting. Please feel free to PM me if you have an idea.
There's no top bird, there's just a council of elders, and it's just one giant mixed flock.

Okay, now I know what I forgot to put on the sheet. If you could fill out a personality space, Jade's accepted. I'm sorry, it's my fault. And as far as slow to posting, that's okay. And don't feel like you have to write a paragraph, 'cause you don't. I have always hated rules about word counts.

I'll make a character sheet when I can think of one

[Fatch of Southsward]

I can't make a character just yet, but I will soon!

[Cornflower MM]

@Aimless Gallivanter: Accepted!

@LT Sandpaw: Take out the king title and accepted. There's a council of elders, so he could be a part if that you like. But there's no top bird, and it's just one giant mixed flock.

@Rosie Willowwater: We'll start right before they leave, with the goodbyes and such.

@Fatch of Southsward, @Eulaliaaa!: Sure, take your time, we'll be starting when I come back back from my family reunion.

@Eulaliaaa!: Mmmm, okay. You'll pass. I guess the younger birds do need a guardian. . . Just remember, my little wren is still the leader.

So, guys, yes I'm being a bit nitpicky on these sheets. Trust me, though, I'll lay off a bit when we get the RP going.

[Eulaliaaa!]

Of course. He made himself their guardian. They can do whatever they want, he can't actually tell them what to do even though he would like to
