At the beginning of time, Earth was created. It doesn’t matter who or what made it – if some great all-powerful being thought it and it was, or that it developed for millions of years before becoming what we know now. All that matters is that Earth was. Earth supported life, and it flourished. Creatures of all size and shape were born into this universe, each with their own purpose – their own fate. Each creature knew its place – all except one. Man. Man was, at first, a friend to all creatures, but after a time Man grew greedy. They multiplied and spread across the world, dominating it, devouring, controlling and destroying as they went. One day, the Earth said to Man; “If you cannot control yourselves, then I will find ways to control you.” But Man was the ruler of all creatures and would not listen. “Man is the most powerful creature in the universe,” they said, and this made the Earth angry.
Earth was never going to last us until the end of eternity. Man’s footprint upon it was large and irreparable. In its last dying days, the Earth gave to each creature – except man – new strength, new power, and a fierce desire to hunt and kill the alleged rulers of all creatures. Earth could no longer support the life of Man, and we were forced to flee. Outcast from our own crumbling planet, we searched for years amongst the stars, desperate for a new home.
The year is now 675 AE. The Warren is a facility lead by General Threarah. Fiver, who possesses the abilities of a seer, has a frightening premonition that tells of doom and destruction coming to the Warren. The Threarah refuses to listen to him, and so, with a small group, his brother Hazel leads the way to freedom on the rundown ship Watership Down. The roleplay begins three weeks after the escape, and just after the arrival of Holly and Jorelle. Fiver has blurry ideas of where they need to go. Somewhere they will be safe to start their own life – a planet, far away from the rule of Frith and Rainbow Corporation and the greed and war mongering of the Elil. The trouble, however … is getting there.
All the universe will be your enemy, Prince of a Thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; fighter, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.
You do not need to have read the book (of the same name) or seen the movie to participate in this roleplay.
Needs Blanik, Silver, Mouse, Serién and Nelthilta!
