Owl Wars (A lot inside but please take the time)
Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 10:21 pm
Owl Wars takes place in a large forest with many clearings and lakes and other landmarks spread around. In this forest lives a wide array of life, including flocks of birds, including owls. Many individuals from many species have come together to form their own flocks, lead by a male and his mate. You get to be an owl in one of these clans.
There are "classes" of owls. Tank, assassin, and assistance.
Tanks are as they sound, tough, large, and strong. Assassins are, well, assassins. They use stealth and cunning, and ambush to attack their enemies and prey. And assistance often are young or small owls that are used to help others in a fight should they need it, though by all means the owls know when to help a friend in need.
There are four flocks in this forest.
The Talons, they focus on strength and are the cruelest.
The Hidden are focused on stealthy attacks that take much practice and skill, they are usually no too large or small, for they could not manuever or attack with the precision needed.
The Dwarves are often seen as easy targets, but are actually not so, for what they lack in size or strength, they make up for with bravery. They will run from a fight only if it is absolutely necessary.
The Alliance, these owls are a perfect mix of the other three tribes, and often strategize better. But they lack the numbers of the other flocks. The other flocks have about seven-thousand each. The Alliance has roughly four-thousand. (Fake numbers, but we can hope, or dream)
All four tribes compete for the rich hunting grounds where they have staked claims.
The Talons live in a...less than lively area, preferring to hunt the carnivores that live there to strike fear in the hearts of others, despite it not really working.
The Hidden live in a group of trees that had twisted and grown into eachother, giving for a maze of branches and vines wirth which these stealthy owls move through with trained ease.
The Dwarves live in the ground, using holes that are hidden in the underbrush and a complex maze of tunnels and dead ends, some filled with dealdy traps, like pits that only a friend can escape from, because a friend must help. It's hard to find their base, much less get in, but with patience and much digging, invaders can besiege them.
The Alliance live in a large and well guarded tree in the middle of a large clearing. It's easy to see, hard to besiege.
In order to keep from confusion in battle, the owls of the four tribes where war paint.
The Talons wear red and black war paint on their wings an other parts of their body, and often intentionally give themselves scars to look as if they've survived many a battle.
The Hidden wear paint depending on where they go and the weather. They wear greens and browns and other colors should they be attacking a forest. If attacking at night, they will paint themselves completely a blusish black with white spots, etc.
The Dwarves wear greens and yellows in swirling patterns around their eyes, then down their sides to their tail.
The Alliance wear an array of colors in their own design, as long as it does not resemble an enemies.
The Alliance is often at its weakest due to enemy spies, though rarely does this happen, for battle happens often, and little time is spent in taking learning the enemies' greatest weaknesses when their diving down at you from above.
All owls share the same jobs, except the leaders and generals, who are spending their time figuring out the enemies' movements and how to counter.
AND NOW to the form. I'm sorry for the long stuff above, but I felt I needed to explain everything thouroughly to try and avoid many questions.
