Erm... Which island was mine? I didn't see Heiruphus's name there...

Yours was...the one I left off because it was late at night.

-----

Heiruphus gazed over his new home. His little tribe was going to need to live here. Sadly, the isle was fairly small--only about three miles across--and rather than abundant forests it had grassy hills and a few patches of woodland. There were many notable creatures, including a scarlet kakapo whose feathers would make a luxurious cloak fit for the highest of chiefs. The nearest island, if you could call it that, was a sandbank a few hundred yards across 60 miles to the southwest, with a collection of more sandbanks about 100 miles to the west.

-----

I think there will be a delay. I was struck with the realization that the different islands would have different wildlife, which lead to overhauling the hunting system. The system will be a bit complex to set up, but once I do it'll be simpler.

[LordSlowpoke]

The plural of adze is adzani. Or adzene. If you're dedicated enough, you can make it adzezianeota. Let's wait for the GM on this, though...

[GreatWyrmGold]

Let's go with adzani.

Anyways...it seems everyone has an action, so once I finish the hunting stuff we'll start.

[GreatWyrmGold]

While I work on hunting, reremaking the random events chart, and such, why don't I suggest you name some of the people? There's just over a dozen of them, each with individual skills and such, and it seems like it would help me chat about them better.

[mesor]

I'm gonna name all of mine I think.
I'll make them out as 6 families .

Is it only us here or will we find other human beings apart from our groups?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Weeell...You MIGHT find NPC groups...

[Caerwyn]

Mine are just nameless mooks, a means to an end. And none of them have any special skill-sets, that's too much micro managing for me. Good suggestion though, but no thanks. I am glad that Islanders is back again, however!

[mesor]

(( Hmmm I hope I do then I'm gonna need them I think. ))

[Maxinum McDreich]

I don't want to get too attached, considering how quickly people died in the last game...
Ah, who am I kidding! ONWARDS!

The Fishers are brothers: Oba Wata and Oma Wata.
Hard Labourers are: Matta Onata and Joso Huss.
Archers are: Alek Spike and Farah Narra.

Spoiler: personalities (click to show/hide)

The Wata brothers both love the quiet and have worked hard as fishers. Oba is the older of the two and is with Cera.
Joso is a good worker and ensures he provides for his friends and family. Matta is protective and puts others first. He is the leader.
Alek is a close friend of Matta and is level headed and strong, whilst Farah is more adventurous and is from the original family of the Narra tribe.

The Carvers are close friends: Yumi Huss and Chih
The Gatherers are: Aki, Sae and Cera Wata.
The Potter is: Iliath Spike.

Spoiler: personalities (click to show/hide)

Yumi and Chih are cheery providers for the community. They often join in Sae's after sunset dances.
Aki is intelligent and calm, whilst Sae is active and out-going. Cera, the one collecting grass and reeds, is quiet but thoughtful.
Iliath is creative and caring whilst also pretty laid back.

The children were all orphaned by the war. However, each has been 'adopted' by certain couples, though the community as a whole look after them as their own.
The boy is named Baka Huss and is looked after by the Huss couple. 
Coco is looked after by the Wata couple. 
Chika is looked after by the Spike couple.

Spoiler: personalities (click to show/hide)

Baka is protective and hardworking, though he'll laze around given half a chance.
Coco is inquisitive and happy-go-lucky.
Chika is tomboyish and a handful.

Adults age range between 22 and 28.

Ok, now that I have given each one a life, they shall all probably die.
Normally, I suck/hate naming. But it seems tonight I'm ok with it. I can take an hour just fretting over one name, but this time, got 14 in that time!

[Parsely]

Fishermen (M): Wakka Bo, Jet Lendler, Kent Mavern
Wakka is the oldest sibling of the Bo family, and is the quintessential leader. The others always look to him for wisdom, of which he has uncharacteristically much of for his age.
Jet is Wakka's closest friend, though one wouldn't think so, as he rarely speaks in front of any other besides him.
Kent is the oldest of the tribe, and some say even better with a spear than Goza or Honda, though he uses it for fishing rather than battle or hunting. He does his best to avoid conflict, and is very protective of all in the tribe. The others regard him as a father figure, though they usually defer to Wakka for important decisions.
Hunters (M): Honda Xi, Goza Bo, Tolto Jova
Honda is a proud and capable warrior and always looking to show off his skills.
Potters (F): Nano Bo, Fay Jova
Weavers (F): Lelany Vant, Yala Leem
Doctors (F): Kaylim Het, Fava Touta
Stoneworkers (C): Gaula, Ganta, Gen
Gaula, Ganta, and Gen are three boys, unrelated, though inseparable since birth. They spend their time training so that they can work hard whenever Wokka asks them for help, which he often does.
Gatherers (C): Hek, Daim, Reeler
Hek and Daim are the closest to playful that the tribe has to offer, though they quickly get in line whenever the adults or Reeler are watching, and they never fail to obey Wokka.

I don't feel like writing anymore. The women and the other two hunters are faceless mooks.

[GreatWyrmGold]

This is taking a while...
I'll just finish putting the tribes in the second post and put the rest off a night.

[GreatWyrmGold]

It's hard to say which is worse at the job I'm working on: My tablet, or me at this time of night.

I'll put it off til the morrow, perhaps finish the hunting stuff in its stead.

[mesor]

We can wait another day or two so take your time .

[Maxinum McDreich]

Same. I imagine the amount of work to run this is quite high, and I was expecting 3 days between updates, so worry not. Rather want a slow burner than a quick bang.
