I've just had this little idea of mine, and I do hope that I will find a couple of fellow players who are willing to participate. The RP will be a vermin-only RP and take place in an alternative, dark universe. This time however it won’t include magic. Guess you weren’t expecting hearing that from me old hardcore mage, eh? Anyway, the basic story will be the following:
Mossflower itself and a couple of bordering regions are now united into the kingdom of Mossflower, lead by the badger king Sunstripe which rules the kingdom from the fortress of the capital city, Salamdastron. Woodlanders in this kingdom lead a happy and luxury life. However, a closer look will soon reveal the shadow aspects of the Mossflower kingdom to the wary spectator. For if you have the bad luck of being of vermin species, your life is anything but happy. In the Mossflower kingdom, vermin are generally treated as little more as slaves, sometimes even lower. Living cramped together in ghettos, vermin do only get the lowest or hardest works for the lowest pay. Thus, poverty is ever present in the vermin population. The woodlanders however show little to none pity towards their social inferiors, the vermin. Quite the contrary. Hatred, racism and abuse are daily routine, shortly followed by weekly executions of vermin "criminals" due to ridiculous and racistic laws. However, there are also those willing to fight. There are whispered rumours about a group of vermin rebels and freedom fighters, willing to fight and challenge the woodlander’s cruel suppression towards them. These brave souls, calling themselves The Stand, shine in the eyes of their fellow vermin as heros, while the woodlander portray them to be nothing more than a nuisance and bandits.
And what about you, brave soul? What will be your choice, your path in these chaotic times? Will you have the courage to join The Stand and fight for your freedom? Will you have the skill to survive and to succeed, or will your life come to an end at the gallows? Only time will tell...
Well, this is going to be the story behind The Stand. Each player will start their adventure at the capital city of Mossflower Kingdom, the walled city of Salamdastron which surrounds the mountain fortress of the cruel badger king. At first, we’re all going to be ordinary citizens and try to live from one day to the other. Eventually, we’ll all meet in one place, a tavern maybe or something like that, I don’t know. From there, we all agree that we cannot continue our living as it is and decide to try and find The Stand and join their ranks as freedom fighters.

Well, no, they're not exactly vermin, but they're not goodbeasts!
