still ooc: the weird construction of the colony is because two facts:1.the colony exsists from multiple factions since the horiontal time, and so needs to make each part equal.2.the horiontal kingdom, later the colony and even later the ET;always has had the need of allies and rebels inside the enemy and so has many diplomats and spies

OOC: The hole owl species hasn't been approved by the FAC. I know, but there is no progress in a year, even after a reminder a month ago, so I decided to act like the FAC gave approval,until they explicitly don’t, if you don’t like it start the voting.ever heard of(I think it was)schrudinger’s cat, which means that when there isn’t an observation/reaction some qantumthings can be multiple things, so this has no “observa”(voting),so it can be both, and I have not more a year patience if the fandom still uses one of your background alternatives I don't know what you mean by "background alternatives" but I get what you're saying. I think we've all, at one point or another, casually integrated vehicles or weapons after a while that weren't technically approved by the FAC. In the case of a fanon species though, it's definitely more complicated, since there would need to be a real explanation for their existence. I think it took a while for me and Thefirstdecade to get Rays, Gryphons and Sharks approved.

(already posted) HISTORY: when galvanor washed ashore, some eagles, with the support of the tunnel cats, went in search of survivors. she also ran aground. three months later, another plane stranded with birds leaping from it. their leader introduced himself as prince felix of the frigate birds. the expedition members helped felix and out of gratitude he appointed tigers commander in chief and created an advisory board solely for eagles. after a while, the settlers intercepted radio conversation from chima. they decided to warn chima during the manta expansion wave. BASE: the colony consists of a mountain on a high cliff and three islands. the lower half consists of tiger-style mountain apartments. the upper half is a copy of the eaglespire. the islands are harbor bases. RANKS: administrative: king(1x,open) council leader(1x,open) assistant council leader(8x,open) co-governor(7x,open.1 for tilas/me) assistant co-governor(8x,open) military: guard commander(tilas/i) main tunnel cat(tilas/i) co-commander in chief(1x,open+tilas/i) general(5x)guard sergeant(2x)tunnel cat sergeant(2x) colonel(8x) sergeant(20x)guardlid(25x)tunnel cat(34x,1 for lyranos/I) soldier(infinite)pilot(infinite) further: supreme diplomat (elina/I) chief diplomat(3x) diplomat(10x) citizen(infinite) join the ET and fight the MRE OOC:I already fixed roles and background, now only the lay out: IC:around the mountain and cliff there are many turrets, there is one main gate at ground level at the land side of the mountain, the gate has the form of a bird beak on the upper side and a tiger mouth on the lower side, directly behind the wall are staues of former kings, the whole gate seems harmless, but nothing is less true, the gate can close directly behind the sculpture and the statues are in real some kind of mechs in the form of a statue that will defend the colony if the attackers get past the gate.in the center of the construction is a big towerlike cilinder with many openings.in the cilinder there are a few stairs for non-flying people and the rest of the cilinder is for flying people and aircrafts to move around.there are openings to many tunnels, at the top there are many openings out of the mountain and at the bottem there is a giant garage for war materials.the foot soldiers and ground vehicles move to the main gate through an ingenious system of lifts in case of an attack.in the top part there are rooms where you can fly between and to the library.all the openings are closable with a group of buttons that are in the control room, a room the top with an almost perfect view of the area and doors can be closed in smaller area control rooms too.the throne room is just above and a little more to the center with a reat view too.in the lower parts there is a huge maze of tunnels with rooms at the sides, in the deepest part of those tunnels lies the frinian sector, an old and secret part with almost all of the secret information and facilities of the colony inside.a little more up and a big part east is the harbor gate to a secret harbor at the foot of the cliffs, at the mountain side of the harbor gate lies an artificial underground river/bay/cove where ships can hide safely, there are even some hoists to other artificial waters .to this double harbor leads a totally different group of tunnel than to the frinian sector.if there is an attack the ships will all be brought to the secret harbor, the tanks and foot soldiers to the main gate and the airforce to and around the top.if the attack is so strong the troops can’t stand it the reverse will happen.the maze of tunnels streches all the way to the colony crater wall were the colony tunnels end and the rebel and ET tunnels, which are used for transactions between the factions, start.the turrets can be reached through openings in the upper tunnels, but the gates can be and mostly are closed.so if you are a manta ray that wants to conquer our territories, stay away and get a new idea!seriously you already tried to defeat us twelve or eleven wars long, get a live or brains, you have been trying it around 940 years at least, maybe 840 if you don’t count the peaces.to the not MRE warriors, welcome, but don’t get in the secret places!

everyone please take one of the open places I had this idea a while back, so I guess I'll do this now. Great timing too, since I'm literally just about to introduce this character in my story. Name: Vergere (pronounced ver-sheer) Species: Vulture Gender: Female Age: (TBD) Affiliation: Vultures, Eagle Triumvirate Rank: Chief Diplomat Weapons and Gear: Dual silver swords that are both slightly shorter than the average sword to make them more lightweight, and at least one small chi blaster pistol hidden somewhere in her clothes. Appearance: Standard vulture appearance with gray wings and a bald, light blue head (like the Vultrix minifigure). She wears a silver chi harness with the lighter variant of shoulder-pads, black pants with many pockets, and a plain, inconspicuous sleeveless gray tunic. She's probably also wearing a necklace or badge with the ET's insignia now. Personality: Vergere seems to act very "casual" and laid-back, but she's serious when she needs to be. Her charisma has made her well-liked among her ET peers. Backstory: Vergere was a young adult when Vamprah began to rebuild the scattered and then-endangered Vulture Tribe over 140 years ago, and she played a large role in the Restoration. Among other things, Vergere co-founded and led the VSI (Vulture Special Intelligence) division, training Vultures as spies in addition to being one herself. She also became a fully-trained witch at some point (I think you'd mentioned one of your characters being a wizard, so Vergere also could've trained him or her at the time of the RP). Like the other Vultures, Vergere was exiled to the Arctic by Leodus at the end of the Vulture-Leopard War in 122 BR, transformed into an "ice zombie" state. And like the other Ice Hunter mages specifically, she was completely frozen to prevent her from breaking the curse. She remained that way for the next 121 years, until the Ice Hunters were finally freed from their confinement at the time of the RP. Rather than joining in the invasion of the south, Vergere immediately volunteered to recover whatever remained of the Vulture Fleet (a once-powerful naval force that'd been destroyed by the Leopards during the war). Vamprah permitted it, and Vergere flew over the West Sea. However, she was allegedly found and captured by the Manta Ray Empire in the process. The Rays managed to suppress (and remove) her ice powers by plugging their fire chi into her harness, also reversing Vergere's zombie transformation. According to Vergere, she eventually managed to escape from the MRE, and discovered the ET on her way back to Chima. Joining the faction and later learning about what'd happened on Chima's mainland while she was away, Vergere now claims that she wants to ally the Vultures with the ET (though she seems opposed to her former tribe's newfound alliance with the Leopards, explaining why Vergere herself has fully joined the ET). Having been born on the mainland, Vergere acts as an important intermediary between the east and west in the interest of fighting the Empire. I forgot to say,ewina was frozen from about 800 years before vergere to the rp.what could work is saying she wrote her knowledge down and vergere red it and the books of sabradia,maulyrene and malgus, by the way, aren’t there are little to many icehunter wizards so

I will shortly summmarize the factions on forneus:the colony,maybe a second holeowl kingdom, the fangs, cronois’ rebels,scorpianus’ rebels, a few other rebel factions and the MRE.by the way , to the j, we should probaly make an anti-MRE coalition, including the ET,the federation, all the rebels, the bats, if vergere sucesses the empire of balance or the vultures and if I or someone else makes it;the holeowl kingdom of the old lands.basicaly every faction not on the mainland of chima (not sure about the phoenixes) and their friends.

I forgot how to do it can someone explain it again, it is confusing because the images don’t load Were you trying to put images into jammers? I don't know if that's possible. If you just wanted to have text in jammers, you do it like this: {Jammers} Click on the button with the smiley face covering his eyes at the end of the list of buttons, then this box will appear and you can write into it. by the way, I don’t think so, but it would be nice to have secret maps

Vergere could've fully trained Elina in the time she's been with the ET though, since she would've left the mainland all the way back when the Hunters had just been released (early 2018 IRL). Maybe, but Vergere and Malgus have defected to different factions, and Maulryene is inactive/indefinitely incapacitated, so I'd say it's more balanced out now.

because the fandom has it wrong here is the history of the colony(with more details):first I will summarize how the colony was founded:after the holeowl-MRE war,which destroyed the mighty holeowl kingdom almost,the small group of survivors, led by king horion, flew to the coastal cliffs/mountains, where the frigate birds lived,the frigate birds and the holeowls fused and horion became king of this new tribe, for his excellent leadership.his dynasty was named the horiontal dynasty and reigned in wellfare, during their reign the holeowls grew until their population was equal to the frigatebirds. the second dynasty was a frigate bird dynasty called the frinian dynasty after king frinius.during the second dynasty the tunnelcats and a few other tigers, eagles and some lions went searching gor the missing expedition, the members were mad at the lion kings refusal to help.a few months later prince felix, son of frinius, also ran ashore, the expeditionists helped him and in thank a counsel only including eagles was founded and the tigers became high army functionaries.the island of the expeditions became holeowl-frigatebird territory togeher with two more islands, the kingdom renamed itself as the colony and there came a special species in the colony called the ligers, children of lions and tigers.the frinian dynasty ended when king franis was killed in battle, at the pre-crater battle(when the great crater was made)when he tried to avenge the gryphons.his nephew felix II started the felixian dynasty(the third dynasty) and his dynasty still rules the colony.ryzarlian conquered a big territory in his first invasion for a short time but he lost itafter the second invasion of ryzarlian and the great great crater battle the colony and it’s allies conquered a big territory ,around three times the horiontal territory.now about the wars with the MRE:horion had an unofficial peace with the MRE after the holeowl-MRE war, king hanis, his son,started the horiontal-MRE war and built a wall on the place of the later colony-crater wall.king frinius ended the war, but his grandson frinius II started the first frinian-MRE war under the doctrine of dying rather than being captured, there weren’t any captives according to the stories allowing the colony to have many secret.the war lasted fifty years,followed by an at least ten years peace and the second frinian-MRE war using the old doctrine lasted an unknown time, but flowed into the first felixian-MRE war, also known as the third colony-MRE war, combined lasting 100 years.the following years there were 7 wars, each around hunderd years with ten year peaces, the tenth colony-MRE war is going on now, and is the heaviest war, together with the holeowl-MRE war and the seventh one, during the manta ray civil war,including both invasions of ryzarlian and the great battle of the great crater.summarized:the holeowls fought 12 wars against the MRE, the frigate birds eleven, and the tigers,lions and eagles ten ones. Ah I see, you had mentioned them (the eagles and tigers) leaving Chima because of reasons relating to Galvanor in the past, so I assumed that they left after he'd washed ashore on Chima (so, after 826 BR). But it was actually after the lion-eagle expedition left? Got it, I'll get to fixing the timeline.

Technically the Rays are the only ones on Forneus (for now) because they're in control of the continent, with the other West Sea factions being on islands. That makes sense though.
