A Feast at Salamandastron - OOC/Sign Up

[Maudie]

Salamandastron is preparing a feast.

In a dream to the General of the Long Patrol, the esteemed Boar the Fighter and the wise Martin the Warrior have set a date for the arrival of Salamandastron's long awaited badger ruler: the summer solstice. The hares of the Long Patrol are putting together a huge welcoming celebration. Every hare in the mountain will be in attendance, and every able-bodied beast who can avoid burning a salad is needed in the kitchen. The chef plans to outdo him/herself this time.

But, deep in the trees of Mossflower Forest, the next badger ruler is in danger. Wounded and lost in a swamp, the badger has been hiding from a cannibalistic tribe of stoats. Midsummer is approaching...

I hope to have this started next week. I've never RPed before, so y'all are gonna have to help me out. Multiple characters are allowed, and I'll probably make another character or two myself.

*Slithers in*

Heyoooo.
I'll take the tribe leader if that's okay.
Is that okay?

[Maudie]

Yes, that's okay. 

[Ashleg]

Could you tell me a little about the tribe before I do his form?
As in, how civilized are they...should he talk with some kind of tribe accent like in the books, etc.

[Maudie]

Good questions. I think a bit of an accent is okay, but I don't want to make it too difficult. You can set the accent, since you've got the tribe leader. The tribe should be quite rowdy, so the leader would have to be bossy and violent. There are about thirty stoats in the tribe. Anything else?

[Anonymous]

No.
Here 'tis...

Name: Tamahig
Age: 39
Gender: Male
Species: Stoat
Appearance: Tall, a healthy weight (though in comparison to the rest of his tribe he eats much more), and he has the normally colored brown fur and black tail tip of a stoat.
As tribe leader, he has some special painted markings, particularly black around his eyes ending in a sharp point on the bottom and a red ring around his snout.
He wears a sash of small bones and claws and a crown made of leaves, decked out with a bird skull in the center.
Position: Tribe Leader

He doesn't have much of a history, but a fun fact is that due to a genetic problem he does not turn white in winter like most stoats.

[Groddil]

I'll take the badger, as well as two generics (a stoat and a hare). Sheets will be up soon.

EDIT: Enjoy.

Spoiler

Name: Stonestripe
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Species: Badger
Appearance: Tall and bulky, as standard for a badger. Head-stripe is a dull, rocky grey. Green eyes that tend to look through somebeast rather than at them. Arrow wound to the gut that is slowly worsening...
Position: Future Badger Lord
History: (Delete and discredit if you want. Whipped this up just in case) Stonestripe was raised in a small community south-east of Redwall, where Mossflower Wood ends until a passing vermin horde slaughtered everybeast aside from Stonestripe and his father, who were fishing at the time. The badger's father took off after the horde, and Stonestripe never saw him again. It has been four seasons since then. Stonestripe never knew of Redwall Abbey, and has not encountered a single creature that doesn't want to kill him since everybeast he knew was killed.

Name: Zinatta
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Species: Stoat
Appearance: Small, brown eyes, dark brown fur with black speckles. Two red semi-circles and a black "X" painted on his forehead: The symbol of the tracker. (X)
Position: Tribal (Tracker)
History: A tribal born and raised, Zinatta knows only two things are important. One, eat birds and drink blue stuff, or die. Two, do what Tamahig says, or die. Zinatta not want to die. Zinatta one of  trackers.

Name: "Corporal" Lilian Mara Sero
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Species: Hare
Appearance: Average height and build. Standard grey-ish brown fur. Blue eyes. Ears are slightly smaller than usual for a hare.
Position: Long Patrol Deserter
History: Lilian went through the rigorous training Long Patrol recruits are subjected to, and was expected to be a fine soldier. As it turns out, the lack of real combat experience shattered that idea. Lilian managed to gain a promotion to Corporal after her first battle for slaying the leader of a small horde of vermin (about three-score strong), but her "victory" was a fluke. Lilian barely managed to hold her own against the leader, but another hare (who was cut down later in the same battle) stabbed him in the back, saving her. Traumatised by the experience, Lilian deserted in the midst of her second battle, two seasons ago, fleeing into the woods.

Wouldn't it be Brocktree rather than Boar, though? He founded the Long Patrol, after all.

[Maudie]

All accepted.

@Groddil Well, Salamandastron has such a plethora of Badger Lords that I just picked one, really. I figure that while Redwall has one guiding spirit, Salamandastron would have many.

[Cornflower MM]

If this is a low-key kinda thing that I don't have to stress over, I might join.

[Rosie Willowwater]

I'll join! Be warned, I write like a first grader, and sadly, I haven't read a Redwall book in a while so I might be a bit rusty on geography and accents.
