OMG LYK U SUKC TEH KOKC!!!11oneoneone

Only kidding. Welcome.

As for the bader guy, as long as he isn't evil, then I really don't have a problem. I've always wanted an evil bader. Never happened in the books, though. In fact, having him end up as the lord of Salamandastron would be a nice touch, but we'll get to that. Anyways, make sure you get your characters up soon, 'cause we're nearing the page limit. I'll EDIT This post after school with my second character.

Hoho. This should be lots of fun. A light-hearted yet serious RP for once. I'm going to be aiming to spread Brit based comedy with my hare, and as for the plucky young redwall acolyte mouse, guess.

My bader and my second character...
 

Name: Bluestripe Hammertail

Age: 22 seasons.

Race: Badger

Small family tree: Father - Greynose Oakenfist;
Mother - Greenstar The Blaze (dec.)

Occupation: Warrior

Equipment: Warhammer

Special skills your character has: Unarmed combat, Armed combat: Warhammer, Tracking, Woodland survival, etc..

Bio:
A stout, broad shouldered, Badger lad out to re-earn the trust of his father. As a boy he was constantly the bane of his father and mother, always causing as much trouble as he could get away with, and sometimes more. After one stern punishment after another, he finally decided to just venture out on his own. Meeting two ferret twins who were after his own heart (no pun intended, they tried to kill him in his sleep) he decided that these were the kind of people he wanted to be like. Years passed as he traveled with a small band, until one night, the ghost of his mother (recently passed away) appeared to him, begging him to return to his father. Having a miraculous change of heart he decided to return home. Now home, and after his father learning of his rencent past, he is questing to seek the one thing that he cannot take. The words of his father calling him "son" again.

Bluestripe stands head and shoulders above most woodland creatures and his girth matches his height. A deep blue stripe runs from the tip of his nose all the way over his head, down his back, and ends at his tail. He wields a giant warhammer that is almost as long as he is tall, providing him with a massive sweeping strike that not many a beast can stand against. He is often seen clad in a kilt of deep green and red plaid, and his face is often marked with deep blue war paints.

Starting location: North Mossflower Wood



Name: Rutherford Longspike

Age: At least 40

Race: Hedgehog

Small family tree: He can't seem to recall.

Occupation: Ex-slave/pit-fighter, wanderer, philosopher

Equipment: Traveling clothes, sandals, backpack

Special skills your character has: Unarmed combat, forgetting things

A short bio:
The earliest he can ever remember is waking up in a bamboo cage to a throbbing pain in his head. He was told by another prisoner that he was taken prisoner by this ruthless band of miscreants and had spent several months fighting in this makeshift arena. About two months, during a re-enactment of a large battle he managed to escape in the confusion. Making his way north, he hopes to find the answers to many things, including as it may be, what the question he is looking for the answer of is.

He is an average sized hedgehog of rusty brown color with a contrasting white patch over his left eye.

Starting location: Somewhere in Southern Mossflower Woods, if he could only figure out where that is...

Do we have enough characters to start yet?

Yes. I'll be getting my second character up soon, but I'll start anyways.

Anybeast who dissagrees will answer to my baer might! ;P

Is there room for one more?

Charecters then:

Name: Sky Seaborn

Age: 24 (I wonder if there is a way to find a good lifespan chart for redwall charecters...)

Race: Squirrel

Small family tree: Beech Brush (father), Willow Brush (mother).

Occupation: Former sailor and captain of a Corsair hunter. Currently wandering traveller.

Equipment: A Katana (You said only european weapons and if it's a problem I'll switch this to a rapier but it isn't unreasonable for this charecter to have this. He spent most of his life in the far southern islands and it's possible that he could have met with some oriental creatures and aquired the Katana from them. Changing it isn't a problem but it's a reasonably harmless charecter quirk.) 2 knives balanced for throwing. A small grappling hook and line. Short seacoat, somewhat water stained. Tricorn hat. Haversack with a small amount of food (ships biscuits and a lemon), fishing gear, and a few trinkets and mementoes.

Special skills your character has: Seabeastship (knots, navigation, etc), climbing, Armed comabt (swords), ranged combat (thrown weapons), Climbing and accrobatics.

A short bio: In their youth Sky's parents left their home in Mossflower country and went to sea. He never did learn exactly why and the sea was the only life he ever knew. Sky grew up on his parent's trading vessel in and out of various southern island ports. He quickly became a skilled sailor. He left his parents ship when he was 17 or so seeking adventure and signed on a corsair hunter. He pursued this life for several seasons eventually rising to command his own ship. Upon returing from an extended voayge far south of even the southern islands he learned that his parents ship had been taken by corsairs and all hands killed or enslaved. He vowed vengance and eventually tracked down the corsairs responsible and brought them to bay in a pitched battle during a storm that left both ships wrecked. He learned from the captain that his parents had been sold to a slave trader bound northwards and thus he found passage to mossflower. He'd always intended to see his parent's homeland anyway...

Starting location: Somewhere along the shore of Mossflower wood. Considerably north of Salamandastron.

note: Sky has a rolling gait from his long time at sea (think captain Jack from PotC but less exagerated).

And the second:

Name: Charles Smith

Age: 19

Race: Mole

Small family tree: Esmarellda (Mother), Homer (father), Josiah the Scholar (Uncle and Royal librarian to the Squirellking of Castle Floret) .

Occupation: Castle Floret resident mole and tinkerer.

Equipment: Small apartments underneath castle Floret containing a variety of tools, sketches , and crazy inventions, leather apron, satchel that can hold his more portable tools, hand pick, handheld crossbow with multifire mechanism that's still in it's testing phases, set of glass vials containing various substances.

Special skills: Black smithing, elementary chemistry, elementary mechanics, carpentry, drafting, digging (less skilled than the average mole but he is a mole).

Short bio: Since the time of Joeseph the Bellmaker there have always been moles at castle Floret. Descendants of Egbutt the scholar they have kept the castle libraries and records diligently for many seasons. Charles is born of this breed but instead of record keeping and book shelving his passion is invention. Thus far he has lived a normal life at castle Floret though one interupted periodically with small explosions and clouds of foul smelling smoke.

Starting location: Castle Floret.

Note: Charles switches back and forth between the plain speech of his parents and uncle and the rustic mole speech.

Element Man: Mind if I shoot for making my mouse character into the warrior? There don't seem to be many characters who would really be eligable, those being... him and the squirrel really. I don't know your stance on this however... so... um...

Go ahead, and make your characters. (Edit your original post, so we don't use up the page limit.)

I think it would be easier to just not have the Sword of Martin and a Chosen Warrior in this.

Good point. Too messy. What with balancing issues and people getting all high and mighty *trails off into inane babbling*
