THE PLAN to literally form a group of prey animals that can feel safe being around one another. the group is intended to be small, neutral, and shouldn't restrict characters from joining other groups if they desire. this can just be a migratory 'home' they can come back to! acceptance into the herd will be handled by the acting herd leader.

1. HERD LEADER will likely be the eldest character (by default). this courageous individual leads the herd to new grazing areas, has the final say on interherd politics, and is responsible for removing threats from the area. the lead role may be passed to another respected member, or can be taken by a show of strength in battle (not to the death). challenges of strength cannot be refused, but they can be conceded. the loser typically leaves the herd to prevent future complications, though may be given leave to stay if the relationship with their better remains civil. the entire herd should be able to clearly spectate this battle. in the end, there can only be one leader. although a second may be appointed, they will not have the same influence over the others. dictators sneaking their way into this position probably won't last long.


2. HERD MEMBER juveniles and mature adults who agree to follow the leader. they heard rumors of the formation of a hooven prey group and came to sate their curiosities for one reason or another. protection. acceptance. love. personal interest and adventure may send herd members away for lengths of time, but they have a tendency to find their way back. herd members are welcomed with open arms (hooves?) and though a pecking order is likely to form (as is natural), those accepted into the herd have earned their place and should still be treated with a certain amount of respect. please bring serious concerns to the herd leader at once.

THREADS have at least 2 (all welcome) herd threads each month in different areas where characters can interact and bug the gms for random events eat grass or something. please intend to be active on your herd character (at least 3-5 posts per week) if you can manage. we can even plot hijinks with active predators on the board!

the character i intend to throw in to this hasn't been made yet. i'm simply gathering interest. briar and i have been plotting in cbox, so if you have interest, shout it out! once i acquire a rare character slot, i'll post more info, but feel free to ask questions! ;3
