@cbishop (Hope this is what you meant for group proposal)
Reclamation Event
(As Read from the Great Book of Gaia)
Once this entire planet was controlled by beings who knew not how to take care of what they had been given, years and years of constant warring and infighting among even their own kind. These beings ruled with an iron fist, using many of our kind as either pets or worse for their own consumption. For thousands of years they were the top of the food chain as it were, but in the last years of their existence they made one fatal mistake....they took Gaia Earth for granted. Gaia had enough of the constant bombardment of her very core and the surface, and in a last ditch effort released a cleanse that infected all who were not our ancestors. No one knows exactly how Gaia took such control, or why she waited for these beings to nearly destroy her completely, all that is known is that she wiped all of these beings out in a single and swift strike.
Once the last of these beings had died out, the worthy were then allowed to ascend to something more. Pushing our ancestors to their limits and giving them the ability to ascend to a higher plane. One of cognitive thought, and intelligent design. Our Ancestors were mere children when they were given the keys to an entire planet, and like children they made mistakes. Knowing not of what they could become, they fought over the tiniest bits of land until they saw the light. Saw that they were doing exactly what They had done. Soon over generations upon generations we have become what we are today, a more civilized nation built upon the backbones of those before us.
Now we are Gaia's Chosen, we are her Kyngdom. And only the Civilized shall greet her Majesty Gaia
Kyngdom(Nations)
For every nation that has been established following the Laws of Gaia, they shall be given the term Kyngdom. Each to have their own by-laws and guidelines, but these guidelines shall not hinder upon the Law of Gaia in any shape or form. Each nation is a self sustained property, surrounded by the Wall. A barrier that keeps those outside where they are, separating those who are deem Civilized safe from the savages of the outside world
(Once Kyngdoms are established I shall detail them here)
Pride Lands
A land of lawless nature, as Gaia had intended it in her early days upon reclaiming the world for the beasts. This Kyngdom never stepped out from the dark ages, many of its inhabitants still live a free nature (On all fours, no clothes. And at times, considered cannibalistic IE eat more than just fish.) This Kyngdom is as close as civilized savagery as this world would allow.
These Laws of Gaia are as followed
- All violence is prohibited, anyone found violating such will be held accountable and dealt accordingly
- Do not leave the Walls for any reason. Savages are rampant
- Do not feed the savages
- If a savage(s) is to be permitted within the confides of the Wall. They must be property of a Class and have moderate dwellings. They are not allowed to mingle, nor are they allowed to roam freely. Any savage seen roaming freely is liable to be confiscated and judged accordingly
- All High Order guards are to be treated with respect
- Curfews are not mandatory, but limted access to markets begin at 10 O'clock
(These are "Laws" do as you wish with them. But keep violence within the Walls to a minimum. Or the High Order will come a knocking)
The Walls
Standing nearly a hundred feet tall and surrounding the circumference of each Kyngdom(Nation). They are for your protection and shall be respected, no damage to walls is allowed. Defacing a wall is prohibited and grounds for arrest.
The High Order
The governing law enforcement within every Kyngdom is that of the High Order. A global unit that upholds all Laws of Gaia, and that of each Kyngdom individually. With each law and guideline to abide by given enforcement by The High Order. They are the only persons allowed to use force to assume order, if force is deemed necessary then the Order is allowed to use such tactics.
The High Order is always in search of the few and the proud, please see your governing capital if you so choose to join the Order
(Will need someone to become High Order Leader, and create units and such. This is the police of Kyngdom. Pm me directly please or @ reply me)
Outside the Walls
Everything beyond the Walls that protect us, is nothing more than dead lands and filth covered people who have no right to live within our walls.
(Outside the walls is free range. Pretty much...all of the land outside each city is free range. Mountains, forests, deserts etc etc all is free pickings)
Any Specific locations can go here when established canonically.
Rules
For the most part, See here Overview for what I have discussed as to how things will start out as a whole. (Classes and choices, food sources, settings etc etc)
Otherwise same as normal CVnU rules according to rpging. We all know them, I shouldn't have to rehash them.
ENJOY!!!
The World of Kingdom (Places, Setting etc etc)
I would very much like this new world to be much like what we already have, its Earth guys but the entire population is made up of animals. Well animals who talk, fight, war, feud etc etc like humans but...yeah. Like our planet now, they will have varying ways of living and different people, classes etc etc. Think of it this way...
For the most part this world is very new to everyone involved, yes they have evolved asanimals to be more intelligent and able to do things early versions of themselves would never have accomplished. But at the same time its still fresh and new.
There are working class, the rich, the poor, all these things and perhaps this could work as a guideline more than out right rules of how things will work with your character(s) but here we go.
Places
For the most part Mother Nature left the earth as it was when it decided that humans were of no use any longer. We have Antarctica, Australia, US, Africa etc etc nothing has changed there.
BUT! What has changed is what the new "people" designate as habitable environments. Many (not all) but many have colonized in various parts of the world massive cities that cater to each "group" living within these cities. These will not need to be explained by each person, more of a simple understanding that each has been there for sometime, and been added and updated over the years as its people evolve and the population grows. These cities are all over the globe, and depend on the writer as to how big the city is and whats in it. So we all kind of have a factor in whats in each.
Outside of these cities is a bit more....to the tee you could say. Civilization is for the civilized, that will be the motto for the beginning of this journey. As such outside theses big cities (and even the in between villages) will be pure wilderness. Animals still live here in the "wild" and are a bit more...to there nature as you could say. Predators hunt, Prey run for there lives. These are the savages, perhaps walls should be built to keep them from entering the more civilized areas ((kind of like THE SHIELD in Secret Wars).
In these areas stories can still be done as well, as even the wild boy can become a man who thrives in the city (Tarzan eh ehh). All these kinds of things can be used and played with. Its a new world much like the CVn(b)U is and was. Things will be set in stone, where as others are more fluid.
Setting
As of RIGHT NOW, lets keep any stories involving The Kingdom more in the NOW, rather than in the past. That is until more is done with the current time period, my hope is that all time is to be seen from this perspective. I can imagine that early on the world was in constant struggle for power (Predators vs Prey) kind of things, and that would be incredible to see written out.
But as of now, the focus will be on the now. The year is...kind of up in the air, but lets say that Mother Nature said eff all humans...2000 years ago??? Giving time for generation upon generation to be built, classes are established in this time, certain things are made law and such. Things are established as a whole as of writing your first post.
Laws as of right now are....within Cities and villages. Unless you choose to be a villain, there is no predator against prey violence. No killing etc etc. Just kind of common law and nature.(Although beating up the peasant and such can be done as a story theme, no mass genocides alright?)
Animals/Classes/Hierarchy
It shall go to say the NORMAL stature and size of animals has not grown since Mother Nature got rid of the humans. Mice are still small, elephants are still big. BUT I think I should set a limit as of right now as to what can be controlled as anthropomorphic and what should not.
Use-Anything you wish actually, any animal besides what is stated below can be used. But strength agility etc etc is all up to you guys, besides their initial size compared to others that is.
Bugs- For the Most part, Bugs are the working class. Evolution gave all bugs IN GENERAL a boost in size. They are not human size, but more like dwarfs in size. Not an average human height, but also not midget size. Right in the middle, and they are considered scum for the most part.
Some can grow larger than others, but for the most part they are all the same size. And almost ALL are working class, they build what needs to be built where it needs to. Think of them like migrant workers, who get shipped around.
No-Use:
Fish-In general they are what is primarily consumed by carnivores the reason will be stated later. But as of now, Fish fish as in nothing mammal is considered FOOD. That said, whales are also a no go as of right now. They will be allowed once things get moving and more sea stories are established, but to allow a whale or dolphin to walk on land would require too many...tedious consistencies.
Extinct Animals- As of right now, because it was brought up in other thread anything dead prior to MN(Mother Nature) saying no more humans is still very much dead. In time scientists can bring them back, but as of right now as this is still new...just no...no dinosaurs.
Food
For the most part, within the civilized areas of this world, a primarily vegetarian diet is had among the people of the cities. Fish is the only "meat" to be had within the cities. As the fish did not evolve in such ways as the others, because of this they are considered a food source for the carnivores of the world. As they hold no intelligence (shut up...you know what I mean).
Yes I spent nights trying to figure out what the meat eaters were going to consume. Then BOOM fish....
Mutations
This is the part of the world I really wanted to explain. I know I said no mutants in last thread, but i meant no human mutant types. We cant have a Vine world made up of Animals, and not have some of them be unique mutations from the norm right?!!
So as of now mutants are pretty stinking scarce as a whole. As for the most part the world as JUST evolved into higher intelligent creatures (last thousand years or so) so mutations are still becoming a thing. So keep to a minimum please and discuss with me once this is all set up and all is set in stone.
