IntroA long time ago, humans used to rein supreme, with animals as their servants and slaves. This changed though, when a raven collided with a blast of magic energy in a fight between wizards. The bird gained increased intelligence, magic, a new form, and a huge bump on his head from crashing. He escaped, clumsily. The raven took a look at himself, and saw that he walked like a biped, like a human, and he'd gained arms and legs. Eager to let his fellow animals in on the superiority, he tried out his new magic until he was successful in changing them too. Soon, anthropomorphs walked the world commonly, numbers booming through breeding again instead of magic. Animals now able to defend themselves, humans could no longer hunt or easily enslave them. And, when the tables turned, humans started dying out. Millennia later, humans aree the rarest species around. Anthros now reined supreme as intelligent and organized groups. Kings and queens, merchants, tribes and more. The era was peaceful, until a fiend of unknown origin appeared. Misshapen, ugly, and large, it was hard to tell what animal it was. It ate everything that moved, and destroyed much in its path. Anthros called it The Wicked. Despite not looking the part, it was intelligent too. Like a dark version of the raven, it started turning anthros into more Wicked. Peace is being torn down by the malevolent beings, but hopefully the strong natives can hold their own.

The Main Kingdoms
~~~ Kingdom of OceanicaA large, underwater kingdom founded by King Kelpbeard and Queen Octavia, two octopi and members of Raven's council. These powerful folk created amulets that allowed them to venture on land if their animal self was designed for water only. This kingdom was the first to invent long range weaponry, to be able to hit back at the kingdom of Cloudsmoore, who poisoned their water and created the time of the Dark Plague, when many water Anthros died from illness. They are also known for their Sweetbrig, a drink both sweet and tart, and desired by many settlements. Oceanican colors are blue, green and silver. Kingdom of CloudsmooreLocated up on floating mountains high in the sky, hidden by clouds. You can only get there by flight or being carried by one of the natives, which are bird Anthros. Founded by the first Anthro, Raven, and his mate, an eagle named Esmeralda. Cloudsmoore is known for their invention of the medical field, and invention of candy. They aren't known for their close combat, rather for fighting with poison or illness, or swooping down from the skies. Cloudsmoorian colors are white, black and brown. Kingdom of StormvaleThe kingdom of land animals, founded by King Warthak and Queen Henna, a bison and a lioness. Located in a massive, open plain surrounded by forestry, they were the first to invent armor and defensive combat, being the most attacked kingdom at first. They also invented boats, to be able to travel the water without being drowned. Stormvalian colors are gold and purple. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unavailable Creatures-Dinosaurs -Fantasy creatures (dragons, manticore, unicorn, etc) -Humans The WickedPurebred Wicked are ugly creatures with a vague animal appearance, and glowing eyes of whatever color. They are created through dark magic, or breeding. And, sometimes, if an Anthro female is unfortunate enough to be carrying a Wicked's child, the hybrid offspring will look like an Anthro with glowing eyes. No one knows why, but it happens every time. No deformity except the eyes. Anyway, Wicked and their offspring are usually bigger, stronger and faster than purebred Anthros. It's just a matter of you can outsmart their strategy or not. Ranks (Anthros)- King and Queen (Their rein covers a large area, mainly land where hybrids first settled in respective terrains. There is a pair for land creatures, sky creatures and water creatures.) - Princes and Princesses - The Royal Court (advisers, lords/ladies, physician, the Royals, etc) - The Royal Guard (the elites. They go where the Royals go) - The Royal Army (they fight for the whole kingdom) - Maids/Man Servant (can request to be a personal tender to a royal) - Citizens (regular inhabitants, merchants, shopkeepers, blacksmiths, etc) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ranks (The Wicked)- Warchief and Warchieftess (they rule all of The Wicked) - Second in Command - Soldiers (basically every "regular" member in the group) - Shaman (healer) - Bloodjaws (protectors of baby/young Wicked. Actually the most fearsome among their kind) - Mudbellies (lowest rank. These will pick up after the higher ranks) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Link to Joining Page

Oceanican CharactersQueen:King:Captain of the Guard: Riptide Royal Court:~~~~~ (WIP) || Riptide || Male || Shark (Great White) || Captain of the Oceanican Guard || || Description, Riptide has an intimidating 7'3 height. || || Despite his bloodline, he does not contain the vicious nature of his unknown father. Yes, he's one of the most powerful, living, Oceanicans but he's actually quite humble and is not one to be arrogant. Riptide shows fairness to those who act as such. || || Main weapons are a hook and a short, metal staff that has a top ending in a spiked anchor. He also has a gun. || || His mother is a Great White, and his father, deceased, was a Wicked that looked vaguely like a reptile of some sort. || Crush (optional) || || Other || Cloudsmoorian CharactersQueen:King:Captain of the Guard:Royal Court:~~~~~ | Ajvon O'lomotiv || Male || Bird (Bluejay) || Citizen || || Ajvon is a tall and lean bluejay anthro at a well age that isn't young nor old that proudly hails from Cloudsmoore. He is covered in blue feathers with a few black or white patterns such as his white chest, white underside and white-tipped tailfeathers that fan out; black speckles dust his tail-feathers and back. He has beady, black eyes with a monocle over his right-eye. Blue feathers sprout atop his head that almost never lay down flat unless slicked back to stick against the back of his head instead and even then they may still spring up and ruin his clean-cut image. Ajvon wears a waistcoat with a pocket-watch stuffed inside the pocket. || || Ajvon may be sophisticated but desires to fight against the Wicked, even though he sits behind the scenes of battles–being comforted by his wealth and status–he enjoys being a forefront for planning strategies and tactical intelligence but doesn't actually do anything physical. He acts as a gentleman and contrary to that persona he delivers, he is not to be trusted. Educated and studious, he earned his own way into richness with his knowledge and proficiency at mechanical engineering. He is an inventor but can also fix anything brought his way. || ~~~~~ Stormvalian CharactersQueen: Ophelia Einhoof King: (Ophelia will choose) Captain of the Guard: Royal Court:~~~~~ || Ophelia Einhoof || Female || Sheep || Queen || || Description Link,, she's on the small side, standing at 5'2. Lia usually wears clothes that are pink, purple or gold. || || Lia is kind, caring and happy almost all the time. She tends to come off as clueless and oblivious though, but she's actually quite smart. Even though she doesn't look the part, she's a strategist by nature and can solve difficult situations. Lia isn't physically strong, so she made up for it in smarts and archery. Even though she grew up as royalty, she doesn't act spoiled or rude to those ranked lower. Trying to be nice to everyone in her kingdom, she's liked by most of them. However, she's still queen, and will deal appropriate punishment for select crimes. || || Favored weapon is her mother's crossbow, Backbiter. || || Comes from a long line of sheep royalty north of Stormvale || No crush yet, but she is hoping to find a new king! || || She's the daughter of the current chief and chieftess of the Stonehide Tribe, Ironhoof and Snowpatch. She was offered to the Stormvalian king so the two settlements could become allies. But, King Leos died of illness, so she is in search of a new king. || || Thystle White || Male || Rabbit || Royal Guard || || Thys is an average-height, furry white rabbit anthro serving the royals of Stormvale at his somewhat still young age. His fur is short, soft and very plain. Long ears sprout from the top of his head of shaggy, chin-length white hair. His eyes are small and amber-colored covered by large, round glasses. His reed-like but decently muscled body is covered by a black, red, and white plaid suit and slick, brown trousers. Black leather shoes and white gloves cover his paws. A large watch on a gold chain hangs around his waist. || || Thys is a very determined individual, to put it nicely. Frankly it is rather persistence on getting whatever he wants, which could be seen as a positive or a flaw considering he is willing to do anything to achieve his goal–even if it involves getting his paws dirty. Thys enjoys affection, being constantly validated and is a hopeless romantic whose eyes can be deadset on anyone. This certainly doesn't bode well with his 'determination,' but he can be a fairly good fighter and advisor for the royal family when he isn't distracted by loveless woes and restraining orders. A smart fellow with a sly tonque, an eloquent vocabulary and an admirable gun collection. || || Guns are his weapons ||
|| Virgilius Dziedzic || Male || Wild Boar || Royal Army|| || Virgil is not the tallest Anthro, standing at about 5'7. He is on the large size when it comes to weight, at least for his size. Virgilius weighs about 260 pounds, the weight being a combination of both muscle and fat. His body is covered in a thick coat of rough brown fur. His eyes are a dull brown color, which never show much intelligence or even emotion, despite him being an emotional male. Virgil typically wears the same outfit several days at a time, since he doesn't feel like 'appearance should matter'. He typically keeps himself clean though. Virgil is very proud of his two small tusks, which he always shines whenever he can.|| Virgilius is a very sweet male. He has strong emotions about just about everything, and he lets them show without any regret. Virgil is very loyal and considers family and friends to be the most important thing in life, despite not having any family and very few friends. He gets in fights easily, defending things he believes in, which is sometimes bad for him because he loses friends easily for this. Despite his loneliness, he is almost always happy and full of joy. Virgil isn't the brightest man, specially when it comes to strategy in battle, but he makes up for it in his strength and devotion, along with the loyalty he has for his brothers on the battlefield. || A sword, though he wished he could use his tusks as a weapon. || No family, he was abandoned at a young age. || No crush || || Esti Nad'a || Female || Honey Badger || Royal Guard || || Standing at about 5'4, Esti may be small, but she makes that up in will to fight. She has thick, course fur that's mostly black, except for a large grey and white stripe going from her tail up to her head. She had small, sharp teeth and sharp claws. Her eyes are a dark brown, almost black color that show her emotions without her knowing it. She is muscular beneath her thick fur, even if she doesn't look like it, and can fight someone twice her size if they don't pay attention to her. Esti typically wears nice clothes, which she is quite proud to have since she believes she worked whole heartedly for them and earned them. || || Esti may be a Honey Badger, but she typically isn't as easy to join in on a fight as some of the others in her species can be. Esti was raised in a large family and she was one of the more mellow children because of it. She doesn't mind fighting at all, though. She's talented in it as well, because of all her siblings. Despite being raised in a large family, she doesn't like being in large groups. She'd much rather be alone, or with a few people, then in a big group. Maybe never having alone time growing up caused this. Esti does not easily make friends. One of her main pet peeves is when someone assumes that she will start a fight, just because she is a honey badger. To be honest, Esti has a lot of pet peeves, and that's the main reason why she has few friends.|| || Her claws and the family heirloom axe.|| Other Characters(Loners, outside tribes, travelers, etc) (WIP) || Elliot Lester || Male || Otter || Merchant/Traveller/Monk || || Description, a 4'4 height. || || If you want something, go to this otter. Elliot is a master merchant, and knows how to trade, buy and sell. If you're a friend though, he just might give you something for free every now and then. Don't take him for granted though, or else you'll lose a good friend. Outside of business, he's quite a sweetheart. Nice, polite, and funny. Just don't steal from him either. He'll quite literally get after you, be it with words or a weapon. He's small, but he can defend himself! Overall, he's got a good heart and kind nature, but will defend what's his, as well as his friends.|| || Weapon is a plain wooden spear || || He was abandoned in some bushes as a baby, and was found by one of the monks, a frog Anthro named Barbas, of a nearby monastery. || || Elliot was raised in the isolated Reedfire Monastery by the monks there until he was old enough to go of on his own. || || Reynold Andres || Male || Raven || Outsider || || Just about everything about Reynold is dark. His pitch black eyes, his silky feathers, even his large beak is as black as the night sky. He is 6'1, 200 pound cluster of dark feathers. His wing spanned is about 7 feet long and his talons are 3 inches thick. Rey's dark personality and life even come out in his clothing choices. He typically wears shades of black and grey, shabby clothing that he's worn for several years. || Reynolds personality is just as dark as his appearance. Rey trusts no one. At all. He's suspicious of every person he's ever met. That's why he rarely talks to anyone. That, and he's also very unsure how to hold conversations. Rey's family raised him outside of society, having as little trust in others as he does. When they died, this left Rey alone. He's so out of the times and out of society, that he doesn't really know what the Wicked are. || || His main weapons are his talons, but he has a small knife his father gave him he uses as well. || The WickedWarchief:Warchieftess:Shaman:~~~~~ || Duchess || Female || Purebred || Soldier || || Description, a massive 8'10 height, larger than some males even. || || Duchess comes off as quite open, even though she's grown up with a bunch of Wicked. She has never seen an Anthro before, so she hasn't really passed her own judgement before. To creatures she's just met, she is rather curious, but alert. She's not naturally aggressive like most of her kind, but that doesn't mean she isn't dangerous. She just thinks things through more often than her kin do. || || Despite her superior build, she takes to using two large guns. || || Other ||

DarkηesqueIf only otters had wings. Elliot didn't much fancy the idea of paying anyone to fly him and his wares anywhere at all. However, it was worth it because he'd just earn it back and then some easily while in Cloudsmoore, which was one of the wealthiest settlements around. Huffing, he watched the four eagles fly off before turning and continuing on his way. And yes, he made the eagles work for their pay by bringing a cart. Pulling his cart, the merchant headed toward where he knew was one of the busiest markets, a few citizens already looking curious. He liked to have a range of things. Fabrics, metals, foods, weapons, toys and more. Sometimes he had lots of one things, and sometimes none at all, depending on his mood. He didn't look it, but he actually had quite a bit of money.
Elliot picked a spot to start out, settling down his cart and sitting down. Everything was on display pretty much, especially the Sweetbrig he managed to get his paws on. Oceanicans were very stingy with the drink, so it was a little rare for land and sky creatures to have. The otter also had his spear out. He nearly got arrested in Cloudsmoore once, as it looked like he randomly stabbed a young crow, but a few old farts vouched for him that the crow was trying to steal the rate item from his cart. Sure, it wasn't the best way to defend his wares, but that Sweetbrig was just too valuable! Sighing, he got up as a goose walked up, looking like she was from the nicer areas of the kingdom. She asked if he had any jewelry, and he nodded, moving to show her what he had. "This came from the yaks east of Stormvale. They're nasty in terms of hygiene, but just look at this beautiful quality, hm? I price depending on the gems..."

... ↪ }} Ajvon | A Cloudsmoore Marketplace -- To be able to really be able to see what was being offered at each stall, Ajvon would have to lean in and look closely, which would get him trapped in a sales pitch in an instant. He was trying to avoid that now but judging quality on a blur was proving difficult. What he did notice was Geraldine, turning something sparkly over in her wing tips. A merchant with such an item had to be decent, so with a huff he decided to scuttle over.
"Here, let me," Ajvon offered with an extended wing and a slight dip in his stance. With a small, trusting smile, Geraldine handed over the piece of jewelry and he promptly placed it around her neck. He knew the goose from many social gatherings and bank visits, so to say they were fair acquaintences would be accurate. Complimenting her came easy, it was just something he felt obligated to do.
"Ah, Geraldine, it is a fine gem. A stand-out piece against your white breast," he assured and added that she should make the purchase before shifting his eyes over to the merchant. An otter in this part of the kingdom? An oddity. Stranger that he carried a real rare stone and strong drink from elsewhere in the realm. His feathers fluffed a bit, but he still looked down at the table before him and behind the short seller for something of interest.

Darkηesque Elliot watched Ajvon briefly converse with the goose, studying him for a moment before turning away. He still kept a tab on him though. Not that the Bluejay looked like he needed to be stealing though, with his fancy attire. The otter turned and grabbed a bottle of the favored Oceanican drink, taking a swig. "What's got you curious of a little monk like me?" He'd also noticed that the taller individual had eyed him with either curiosity, or suspicious. Perhaps it had been both even. As he waited on an answer, a Great Gray and her son walked up, the younger male pointing at some of the toys he had on display. The exchange was quick, the youngling picking a toy and the mother paying for it. "Thank you," he told them kindly as they smiled and left.
"I also do deliveries," Elliot told Ajvon, turning back to the bluejay "If you don't find anything here you like, I may be able to go and get something you want from somewhere else. But it'll cost a bit more, hm?" Sometimes the extra pricing wasn't even worth it for the otter, for what and who he had to go through for certain items. Otters tended to be greedy creatures though, despite their friendly and social nature, so any amount of money that was achievable would not be passed up by the short merchant. He took another drink from his bottle, licking his lips at the mix of sweet and tart.

... ↪ }} Ajvon | A Cloudsmoore Marketplace -- Among the company the stoic bird kept, none ever talked as freely as this merchant—a playful, chattering otter swinging around a drink he was supposed to be selling. Ajvon decided he didn't want his money spent here, but was distracted by the young one and his mother before the seller said something interesting. Certainly not worth his time to actually request anything he could certainly find elsewhere, but he squawked, "Anything I want for a price, hm? The head of the Wicked's Cheiftain above my mantle would look nice."
After adjusting the monocle over his eye with his wingtip, he straightened out his back and clasped his wings down flat and pretended he didn't say a thing. "Any conductive coil on you now? Wouldn't imagine you carry copper wire," he asked before he even realized it. Ajvon was supposed to leave the drunken otter be and be on his way, but copper wire to take home would be good. Hard to come by in Cloudsmoore, so the bluejay forgave himself when he figured it didn't hurt to ask. Though anything conductive would be suitable for his invention. It just required electricity—something most birds tended to avoid.
