Over three centuries ago, Humanity raged war upon each other, tearing even some of the largest cities down into heaps of crumbled concrete. It was World War IV, tremendously outdoing its predecessor in violence and destruction. The population kept plummeting even after twenty years had passed, only now does it teeter at 27 Million worldwide.
As predicted, the Earth recovered quickly, seemingly glad to be rid of the overpopulation of Humans. In this lush, green world, colonies have sprouted all over. Each colony has recognizable skills. For example, the Fox colony has skills in cunning and engineering. The White Tail colony specializes in gardening and supplies many nearby colonies with fresh goods, whereas the Bear Colony have outposts all over the West Coast, serving as the first defense for all nearby colonies.

There is still evil plaguing this new world. Many colonies crave more and are a threat to other, more peaceful colonies. The most notable is the Wolverine Clan. This clan wasnt known until they attacked the Elk Clan, claiming the Mayor as hostage and wiping out a third of the army in a singular day. The Elk clan has since moved, leaving the town of burning wood and charred bones in the Wolverine's claws. No one knows when they will attack again, and if they may just be enough to wipe the north clean of a singular peaceful tribe.

You come from a Colony here on the West Coast of Canada, but it is up to you to decide who you are and where exactly you come from. Only then, may your journey in this hardened world start.

Trigger warning for themes of war, conflict, violence and death.

Starting Colonies

These are the list of starting colonies! These are not all of the colonies on the west coast, and you will discover more through playing. I recommend starting in a colony, but you are not required to!
Please note that I do not support AI art and if any of the images I use in this RPG are AI it is not intentional.

- Fox Colony: A relatively small colony filled with cunning people and serves as the main hub for inventions and engineering and have many professionals who travel the coast to provide and help with machinery and electricity. It is run by a council. Population; 700.


- White Tail Colony: Bigger than the Fox Colony, but smaller than the Orca colony, the White Tail colony is home to many farmers and weavers, responsible for food and fabric trade. They are run by a small Royal family. Population; 1200.


- Orca Colony: One of the leading producers of fishing and marine trapping, as well as ocean transportation to islands and even long hauls to other continents. It is run by an old and powerful royalty. Population; 2400


- Bear Colony: Reining protectors of the West Coast, known for their brute military power. They mingle with the other nearby colonies, as well as have Outposts littered around the West Coast, but have their own city as well. Ruled by a Royal military couple and council. Population (of the city); 1800



- Moose Colony: A large northern colony that manage the forestry and mining of the West Coast. They often times work with the Orca colony to transport materials by large boats. Run by an elected person and their personal council. Population; 1400

Extras:

Character #1

Orcastration

Name: Shiara Shia
Age: 20
Colony: Orca (was anyone expecting otherwise lol)

Personality: A bit of an overachiever, a bit ambitious. She's an ambivert-loves people, but also loves her own time. She's prone to overthinking and has a bit of social anxiety, and that feeds into her ambivert nature, making it hard to go past the friend stage But once she's comfortable, she'll happily talk the day away. When she's focused on a goal, she puts her effort into it to the point she has to be reminded that there are other things in life then just the thing she's doing. She does her best to get what she's doing as perfect as she can, so it usually ends in her questioning herself if what she's working on doesn't come out quite as planned.
Appearance: Dark hair usually braided back, dark eyes, medium complexion, and square-rimmed grasses. She's on the shorter side, but to her relief at least she's got a little tiny bit of muscle. Enough to do what she needs to do in her daily life.
Backstory: She grew up with what she considers a stereotypical family life- a slightly-overbearing home-cook mother, a fisherman dad who she inherited her hardworking attitude from, and an older brother (Shawn) who spends 90% of his time with his friends now that he's "a cool young adult doing cool young adult stuff" (Shiara's words, not his.) though she'd say they're decently close. She's grown up most of her life trying to aim high, partly because she likes it when her family applaud her work and partly because, well, why not? She's already here, might as well! And partly because her mother told her to.

And really, that's it. She considers herself ordinary, minus the part where she overworks herself (but who doesn't Right? She's no the only one that gets really into the stuff they're doing, right?)
Family:
- Mother (Alive)
- Father (Alive)
- Brother [Shawn] (Alive)

Skills:
-Fishing
-Violin
-Whatever the word is for knowing how to not instantly die on a boat.

Alignment: Lawful neutral, or she tries to be.

Character #2

Whiterosealliance

Name: Justus Moore

Age: 20

Colony: Orca

Personality: A kinda nice guy. He is usually willing to help anybody with anything. Hesitant and overthinks, it's not uncommon for him to get all worried or nervous over nothing. Self-indulgent and not the best at communicating and socializing. May come off as arrogant sometimes. Enjoys being in nature and can keep calm during emergencies. Practical and can be very gentle. He can also be really mean though.

Appearance: Their long hair has been bleached blond with black roots remaining. He has various scars as well as sprawling tattoos one resembles turquoise and another resembles Haedan zircon. He usually puts on a friendly smile but if he's busy/distracted with something else, his true resting face will shine which might make people think he's pissed.

Backstory: He grew up with his younger twin brother and his parents. His brother was far less worried and more impulsive than he was and would often be the one dragging him along on some adventure instead of the other way around. Time spent together was usually spent in the wilderness where he got some of his scars (the rest were from fighting) or talking into the night unless their parents knocked on the wall to tell them to quit talking as they both seemed to lack the ability to quietly whisper. They tried to keep their friend groups separate though after noticing one would always be in the shadow of the other and being mistaken for the other was unremarkably a common occurrence.
A friend introduced him to a guy who later became his best friend. A busy bee who likes dinosaurs and all the other creatures who existed before humans did. They were the one who designed his tattoos. Unfortunately, said person has gone missing after visiting the Elk Clan during the day of the attack. Worried, he wishes to confirm his friend's whereabouts.

Skills: Clay sculpting, cooking, boxing

Alignment: Lawful good-ish (I dont think there is a link?)
