Welcome to The Redwatch, a story about mice with swords, the things that try to kill them, and how they refuse to die. It is essentially Redwall played by the rules of A Song of Ice and Fire, bolstering the world with cozy settings and loving descriptions of food and festivals, while still delving into the details of vicious animals killing mice while even more vicious politicking does essentially the same thing. The setting of The Redwatch is what you might call “low fantasy.” There is no magic, few if any traditional fantasy elements, and the world operates according to well-understood natural laws. The exception, of course, is that there are sapient mice, and they've established what amounts to a medieval society in the middle of a forest known as The Kingdoms of Gnaw.

The mice of Gnaw have created a quasi-military force -- the titular Redwatch -- to elevate themselves from their place at the bottom of the food chain and overcome the forces of nature. The Watch exists in an ambiguous social area somewhere between knights, Tolkien-esque rangers, and FEMA agents. They are thankless heroes who exist outside of mouse society to better serve it. When something has gone seriously wrong in the kingdoms and time is of the essence, members of the Watch are dispatched to put it right -- even at the cost of their lives.

Despite their technology and fledgling civilization, they're still mice: when you're three inches tall, a snake is a creeping horror out of Lovecraft, hawks are terrifying dragon-like predators, a swollen stream is a deadly impassable torrent, and a good storm can annihilate farms and wreak havoc on your communities. One of the core features of a world of mice is the sense of scale this should impart. You are playing small creatures in a huge and hostile world, but highly motivated ones. With swords.

This sounds super interesting. Today/tonight is rather busy, but I'd definitely like to get around to writing up a character sheet sometime tomorrow, if there is space available!

@Irredeemable Accepted! Stick a cloak color on him -- Yellow for yellowed pages? Blue for cool, aloof analysis? Up to you, I just need a cloak color on everyone so people can dramatically recognize pieces of their cloak if they go missing/die -- and polish up his belief statement. The second one's not a huge issue, I just need the first few sheets to be relatively consistent when people see what accepted sheets look like. Also, give dat boi a text color.

He wears a steely grey overcoat


Also, his text is grey too- it's just hard to differenciate.

Hey, here's a non-squicky way to get cheese: deactivated yeast can be made into a cheesy substance. Yeast can be gotten from the skin of apples and other fruits. If sugarbeet is cultivated, then they can easily make it, and boom! A cheesy substance not derived from latex.
