the idea i have is a redwall-inspired rp where instead of mice and smaller rodents, we control all of the forest animals in a world so far from humans that they're never really a part of the story, and that the animals are smart enough (probably through some secret of nimh type experiment lol) to speak, wear clothes, and use tools.

I'd like to play a fisher

i want to keep it mostly as a sandbox type of setting, which is why there's no plot ;D

Ah that sounds really fun! You've got my interest. I think I'd like to do a stoat named Grendel.
