~ Saltus: Forest Critter Sanctuary ~ [Application/information]

[The Media Wizard 2958]

~ Saltus: Home of the Critters ~

 

~ Deep within the forests of Anthos, secluded from the normal sentient beings of the land, lies an untouched and lush paradise known as Saltus. In this tropical land lies a small group of small critters that wander the forest; a Natural Community. It is here that Saltus opens its doors to the critters of the wilds, accepting all to show their "wild sides". ~

 

[ Now, this is just an idea in it's beginnings, but I feel that this would bring an overall new and good feel to the server. I will explain what it is below and hopefully explain why this would be a good idea. Enjoy! :D ]

 

~ History ~

 

Saltus has no real history to it. Considering it is a small critter habitat, I see no real reason to record data or history. But, I can explain how it came about.

 

Saltus was originally a watering hole for traveling elk. When they stopped by on their way to grassier areas, they would stop and drink water to rehydrate themselves. Overtime, smaller critters nearby began to settle on the coastline of the shore, making small habitats for themselves and their families.

 

Much like the movie "Bambie", this small Community would have a peaceful and humble hierarchy led by the most respected and wise leader. But, this does not mean taxes would ensue the small dwelling area or anything like sentient being interactions. Animals would be free to act like they are supposed to, but they would be expected to be peaceful and kind while in the area around Saltus.

 

~ Geography ~

 

Obviously, Saltus would be located deep within a lush forest somewhere in Anthos. It would be located around a small watering hole with small "homes" [ Burrows, nests, etc. ] located around it. It would also be located beside a larger tree than most in the forest; the Palace of sorts. The "leader" of the small community would reside there with his family.

 

All and all, it would look similar to this:

 

 

~ Laws/Rules ~

 

Although the critters would not have formed any advanced government system [ Come on, their animals ] they would not have many rules. But, some would go without saying, like these:

 

1. No killing other creatures within or around Saltus.

2. No stealing from another creature's supplies.

3. No bringing the "Tall Ones" to Saltus.

4. No harming the homes and habitats around Saltus.

 

---------------------------------------------------

 

~ OOC ~

 

How does Saltus help the community of LotC?

 

Saltus is my idea of giving Animal Role-Players a place to socialize with other critters from around Anthos. In the big picture, it does not help much. But, it will bring together all of out fluffy friends to be able to get to know each other and possibly make new connections both ICly and OOCly.

 

How do animals learn to live together in peace and harmony?

 

Throughout time, animals have learned to be kind to each other, even when they are the most unlikely of friends. This happens even today, with Bears and Elk being kind to each other. It's not crazy, just a tad unpredicted.

 

How will these animals communicate?

 

Alright... prepare your jimmies to rustle. They will speak to each other, but it will NOT - I repeat NOT - be RP'd like this. In the real world, animals speak to each other with sounds, motions and eye contact. This would be the case RPly, but emoting and NEVER talking would be a bit boring, so we would speak like normal.

 

I can hear the faint rustling of Hardcore Role-Player's jimmies. So, to them, I say this: how would you like to be surrounded by people you can finally connect with without being set lower than them and not be allowed to speak freely? Yeah... that was deep.

 

This will take away Role-Play by separating us out more!

 

Wrong sir and or ma'am! This sanctuary is for Animal Alts, and is in no way a new race or trying to get a steady community. It is more like a time to time thing that will bring fun RP and great memories to someone who someday tells their children, "I once pretended to be a skunk on a Minecraft Server". Just don't brag to you're parents; no WiFi in the Nut-House.

 

~ OOC Rules ~

 

Obviously, we need some Rules for OOC. So, erm... here:

 

0. ALL OTHER SERVER RULES STILL APPLY!

1. No joining Saltus RP without consulting me or posting an Application.

2. No Meta-Gaming the location of Saltus or telling others to use it OOCly.

3. No Role-Playing off of the intended critters list unless you have spoken to me through PM's.

4. Follow all of the RP rules within Saltus or run the risk of IC retaliation.

5. No purposely harming the community of Saltus without an RP reasoning.

 

~ Saltus Intended Critters List [subject to Change] ~

 

Yes, surprising that we do not wish for blood-thirsty Bull Sharks swimming about our waters. Yes, there is a list of intended critters to come to the city. If you wish to play one off of the list, please PM me and I will speak to you about it.

 

Here is the list:

 

Rabbit

Skunk

Owl

Porcupine

Groundhog

Fox

Squirrel

Anteater

Sloth

Snake

Frog

Chameleon

Domesticated Dog

Domesticated Cat

 

If you wish to play a reasonable animal that is off of this list, feel free to send me PM. I don't bite... much.

Finally! Compelling people to RP as hunters! Hurray for Zill!

[ Agreed, but let's leave the rest of the comments for Applications, if they come. ^_^ ]

I fear this wouldn't be sustainable roleplay.

The almighty Iron Dwarf has spoken.

[Parading 302]

I really like this idea! I wish I could post an app but I am too dedicated to my antag character right now.

[ It is not meant to be a forever active community. It is to be there for when someone wants to RP and animal. If it goes inactive, it does. If now, then we made something amazing. ;D ]

[Fid 566]

Yeah... no. First of all, this is an isolated community of roleplayers who have limited (if any) ability to interact with the rest of the server (never a good thing). Secondly, you're creating something that (while cute and amusing) has absolutely no place on the server. If you want to roleplay a fuzzy woodland creature, make Lord of the Fuzzy Woodland Creatures. This doesn't fit LoTC.

 

[Edit: Got a problem? Refute my points, try your luck. Don't just change a few words around to suit your own ideas.]

 

Big o'l -1  from me.

[Mucky 443]

Yes, First of all, this is an amazing community of role-players. Secondly, you're creating something amazing, This does fit LoTC.

 

 

Big o'l +1  from me.

[Evilbanana5757 154]

(( What is this I don't even... ))

[Lym 849]

Yes, First of all, this is an amazing community of role-players. Secondly, you're creating something amazing, This does fit LoTC.

Topic-related part of the post: I couldn't agree more with Great. If anything, try and work together with the halflings. Maybe they'll accept having small and little fluffy creatures stroll around in Lenfarthing.
