All was well before the drought. Before the crop shortages forced us to change. Before meat became the only source of food. Now, there is only war. Eat or be eaten. That is the way of the world. That is how we survive.
Welcome to Tooth and Tail! This is an RP based on the video game Tooth and Tail. The setting is a country called Vyeshal populated by anthropomorphic animals(like the Redwall books) in the late 19th century. Droughts and crop shortages have forced the animals to turn to eating meat. The problem is who gets eaten.
At first, the aristocratic leaders of society known as "the Civilized" developed a solution. The lottery system left the decision of who was eaten up to random chance. Over time, it became clear that the Civilized were using the Lottery as a way to get rid of their enemies. This led to the rise of the Revolution and the beginning of the War for Meat.
Now, four factions are engaged in open war. Because the factions are stretched thin, many of their troops are underequipped and undertrained, leading to the rise of the militia. The Civilized aristocrats vie to maintain the status quo and defeat the rebels. The secret police known as the K.S.R joined the war to quell the Revolution, but now fight to end the war at all costs. The Commonfolk champion a voting system to determine who lives and who becomes food. And last but not least, the Longcoats advocate a merit-based system. The Longcoats and the Commonfolk will fight together, but are not official allies. The Civilized are hated by all except the K.S.R, who tolerate them to bring a swift end to the war.
Faction Overview
The Civilized are the aristocrats of the world. The nobility of the animals, they consider themselves the elite. It was they who came up with the Lottery System. At first, it seemed a perfect solution. But over time, the Civilized became corrupt. They began to influence who was chosen, excluding any Civilized from going to the ovens. Eventually, the people began to realize this, and this led to the breakout of the Revolution. The Civilized, led by the enigmatic buck Sage Marro and the noblemouse Archimedes, raised an army to confront the rebel savages and restore the status quo. Possessing a large amount of troops but far less effective strategies, the Civilized fight on.

The K.S.R - The Quartermaster
The K.S.R represents order in a world of chaos. When Vyeshal was ruled by the Tsarina, the K.S.R was the feared military arm of society. But after the Tsarina's death and the rise of the Civilized, they began to decline and were woefully unprepared for the outbreak of war. Now headed by the mysterious rat known as The Quartermaster, the K.S.R have reasserted their place, winning several victories over Commonfolk armies. At first, the K.S.R fought to quell the Revolution, but now they wish to reestablish order, no matter the cost. Now, the Quartermaster herself marches to end the war and restore peace.
At A Glance
Faction Commander: The Quartermaster
Food System: None as of yet
Centers of Power: The Kitchens, the Larder, Black Sledge

Goal: To restore peace at all costs
The Commonfolk - The Commonfolk
The Commonfolk have been oppressed by the Civilized for too long. Led by the charismatic Hopper, the peasants have risen up in revolution. Advocating a voting system, the rabble of the Commonfolk fight on. Strong in numbers but not in experience, the Commonfolk rely on brilliant strategy to carry the day.
At A Glance
Faction Commander: Hopper
Food System: Voting System
Centers of Power: The Skirts, The Ends, The Gut,
Strength: 40,000 soldiers + 155,000 militia -the Commonfolk soldiers are elite troops, but their militias are largely untrained (195,000 total)
Goal: To overthrow the Civilized and establish the voting system.
The Longcoats - Belarus and Belorussia
The Longcoats came about under the direction of the mouse Bellafide. After his son was chosen in the Lottery, Bellafide decided a change was in order. Finding that many animals shared his views, he organized the Longcoats with one simple goal, destroy the Civilized. Along the way, Bellafide developed the Merit System as a way to replace the corruption of the Civilized. The Longcoats are also to blame for igniting the war in the first place. In what has become known as the Bonepit Riots, a contingent of Longcoat soldiers led by Bellafide snuck into the capital of Vyeshal City via the Bonepits. Attacking a force of Civilized soldiers, they caused many casualties before retreating through the Bonepits. This act inspired the Commonfolk to revolt and began the Revolution.
At A Glance
Faction Commander: Bellafide
Food System: Merit-Based System
Centers of Power: The Old South Distillery, Scraptown, Levacaloo, Coldmark Lows, Lake Vell
Strength: 95,000 soldiers + 65,000 militia - Longcoat soldiers rival the K.S.R in terms of skill and dicipline (160,000 total)
Goal: To destroy the Civilized and establish the merit system.

Unit Roster
None of this will make sense until you have read about all of the units through the above link, or by reading about a specific faction's units below. This list shows the primary forces of each faction, but some are used by multiple factions. However, just because a unit is not listed for a specific faction does not mean they are not used, it just means they are not very numerous in that faction's army. For player-created factions, use the units that fit your strategy most.

The Swine
Swine is how the factions refer to the pigs of the world. Swine are treated by the factions as a subspecies and are used to work in the gristmills to provide food for the armies. Most look on the Swine as unintelligent and some certainly act the part but on the inside, there is a group of Swine trying to overthrow the factions and establish the Swine as the dominant species. This will be a secondary part of the RP with the primarty obviously being the War for Meat.
