Civilisation VI - The Post-Apocalyptic Version

@ClocktowerEchos Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell.

@AdorableSaucer

Great now I'm expecting to find some long lost super robot army inside the airport with like laser guns and teleportation devices to just obliterate my rats lol.

I have some ideas of my own as to what I could find I'd like to share but I feel like that would be metagaming.

Civilisation VI - The Post-Apocalyptic Version

@AdorableSaucerSo I got a question, is the airport I'm currenting (going to be) using as a base, is it uninhabited?

The banishment from the Furfolk had not been kind nor gentle. To the Ratkin, their grievous insults against the Great Caretaker were too much, especially once some of them had attempted to steal away the Caretaker's hallowed remains. It was under the wise rule of King Skretak the Bold that the rats sworn under Pack Clawcrest had fought the seditious Furfolk, driving back the carnivores' maws with spear, sword an bolt. It was him who him who led the victorious counter-charge at the Battle of Balecrack. It was him who rode out atop the drake-lizard Pelanor with his righteous silvered blade, Fearbreaker, who broke the enemies lines. It was him who lead a host of rat-knights straight against the Lion Lord Redmane. And it was him who was fell by an arrow through the heart, fired from an unnamed Herbivore.

His dying breath was spent counselling his son, Skretak II, on fading lessons of rulership and a prophecy. That the Pack of Clawcrest was destined to form a great kingdom, one that would stand top all other Ratkin dens and warrens, a Highwarren. And that far, far across the Deathless Desert there would be a roost of iron dragons from Antiquity which would be their new home as foretold by the words of the Caretaker. And so, with his father's crown and blade in hand, King Skretak II gathered his people and left their old lives behind, abandoning the Furfolk to their squabbling ways.

Hunger, thrist, raiders, predators, many did not make it through the hostile dunes, but more than enough made the harrowing exodus. In a trial by fire, Skretak II led his people across ancient roads and past oasis springs, vowing he would not be crowned until a suitable home had been built. And thus on the 30th day, King Skretak the Uncrowned led his people to that ancient roost of Lespia International Airport. But to them it was simply Lesa, many of the letters now missing or hanging on by loose screws. And so, by the mercy and the will of the Great Caretaker, the Ratkin of Pack Clawcrest had found their new home of Castle Lesaden to form a new kingdom, a kingdom called Highwarren.

I think it’s whatever you want. I chose to focus on the persistent story of a couple individuals within my faction as it evolves, and how the events of the world affect them. Or, just add flavor with a description of such events.

There are many ways you can skin this cat.

No, I know how to write for an NRP, this isn't my first rodeo, but I don't know what am I supposed to do for the stats. Like am I supposed to wait for @AdorableSaucer to give them to me?

Civilisation VI - The Post-Apocalyptic Version

So what exactly should I do for an IC post? I'm kind of lost. Like where do I get my population stats and stuff?

The Highwarren Ratkin

Name: The Kingdom of Highwarren
Capital: Highwarren
Color: Grey

Race: Ratkin - Another experiment gone awry, their former small sizes now boosted tenfold by radiation and mutation into larger beings capable of standing on two legs. They are a superstitious lot with a strong story telling tradition which guides them (or hinders them from an outsider's perspective). Although they share some similarities with Furfolk such as being willing to cannibalize each other and having excellent survival skills, the two groups do not get along.

• Myth of Utopia - Slower population growth
• Never Waste a Thing - Slight bonus to scavenging
• Verminous Expanse - Lessened penalties for biomes and environmental hazards
• Lessons of the Past - Poor research unless its with old-world tech
• Divergent Lineage - Diplomatic penalty to Furfolk

Government: Autocratic Feudal Hierarchy
Ruler: King Skretak II, of Pack Clawcrest

Map Claim (Grey)

Beliefs:

Ratkin venerate a person known as the "Great Caretaker", a deified human who helped their ancestors and whose lessons and remains they still carry to this day. Many of the stories and lessons that the Great Caretaker taught them still stay with them such as chivalry and the Myth of Utopia where long ago, a city of mice was granted complete luxury but turned on one another in a shocking display of hedonism and depravity. Thus they see temperance and strong will as a virtue and also ruthlessly cull their large litters so only the few most exceptional will grow.

They also believe in the power of stories and immortality, not through life span but through memory. To be remembered is the way which a Ratkin may live on after death. To be remembered as a hero or great person is enshrine yourself in history forever.

History:

According to their own stories, Ratkin were once in the care of a human they call "Great Caretaker" who cared for them even while the rest of their kind tortured them. Where as others stole their young and kin, they made sure the rats always had enough food and comfort at least. When the apocalypses happened, many of their ancestors had experimental growth cocktails and intelligence-boosting drugs implanted in them that reacted with the nuclear fallout. Much like the Simmies, they too staged and uprising and slaughtered their way out, saving only the Great Caretaker who they considered themselves indebted to.

Once in the wasteland, they wandered and would eventually join (begrudgingly) with the Furfolk. However, the Ratkin found the Furfolk to be distasteful and never truly integrated. When the Great Father was found dead at the hands of a Furfolk, the Ratkin launched a revolution and split their ways, taking the body of their Great Caretaker with them as they once again set out into wastes until they founded their own city of Highwarren.
