He lurks in your forest...
Fooling others with kindness
Deep inside he is a natural killer...
Destined to bring Darkness to the forest
We must destroy him...
But in order to do that, we must end your Endless Forest.
The war has begun

--------
A long, long tale will finally end.
The story of the broken prince will end as he falls to the ground, dead.
His blood will spill, covering the floor with red.
No more darkness after this war.
Or so they thought.
The Endless Forest has always been peaceful, where deer are happy and run around and play.
Until today.
The King of Peace has declared war with the Endless Forest.
If we win, the King will never bother the Endless Forest again and we will all be safe.
If we fail, the Endless Forest will never exist again.
Will we win?
Or will we fail?
--------
"Kill fire with fire",
Said the King.
He has turned some of the deer in the Endless Forest into soldiers.
The system somewhat works like a zombie invasion.
Some of the deer in the Endless Forest have turned to the King's side. Their sets have disappeared and now they are pure black (Beluga pelt, Orca mask, Beluga antlers). They have forgotten who they are. They're only object is to kill.
They have a specific target- Pierce, but they are also here to destroy the Endless Forest. They start fires that burn the forest and they can also start droughts or floods.
They can also turn other deer to the King's side- by biting them. They turn completely black and forget who they are, and then their objective is to destroy the forest and kill Pierce.
If you don't want your deer to be bitten, please tell us!
However, there are good deer too. Some deer have decided to make an army and keep the forest safe. But the black deer have the power to bite them too.
Others are neutral and run from the war to keep safe. But they are not immune to the bites of the black deer...
--------
Okay, The Endless Forest never had a war, no?
Well, this is the beginning of it's first war.
I know someones going to say "NO THE FOREST MUST BE PEACEFULZ AND STUFFS".
I'm not trying to bring violence into the Endless Forest world, I'm actually trying to bring fun. A war in a video game is more fun than one in real life, right? That's what I'm trying to do, I want the forest to have more fun Community Fun, even if it isn't fun to our deer.
There will be battles in-forest, between the good side (good deer, including Pierce) and the bad side (black deer).
Of course, I won't let the black deer win the war, because we can't let the Endless Forest die, right? Although there will be battles where the black deer win, and the good deer will be beaten. I will also allow the black deer to hurt Pierce when they see him. Hopefully there will be no deaths here, but if you have an inactive character that you want to kill off, you are free to go into battle and kill them.
I plan to be at least five battles in the forest. If the black deer have won most of the battles then there will be some more until the good deer have won more battles.
How to win a battle: The other army either all surrender, run away, or die. You have won this battle.

Which side will you join?
Bad Side (black deer)
Bad Side's Theme:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2PKEQ2lwcA&feature=related
Description:
If you want to join this side, choose one or more of your deer. They are brainwashed. They have forgotten everything. They are turned pure black. They have forgotten everything they wanted, for now their objective is to kill and destroy.
The black deer are not as dangerous as The Dark King (or Prince), but they can cause major damage.
When you are not in battle, you roam around the forest, biting other deer to turn them into one of you.
If you join this side, it is recommended you look up the biographies of characters on the good team and neutral team to see what powers they have and what actions they use.
If your deer joins this side and had powers, he/she does not have those powers anymore. Look at actions to see what powers your deer has.
Black deer don't really die, but they are not immortal. When they "die", they turn into their regular form. They get their powers and appearance back. But most of the time, some of their brain is still black (like turned into the color black as Black deer's brains are black), meaning that they still might want to destroy the forest or still might not remember who they are and don't know what happened. They basically have two lives, when their first life dies they turn back into their original form.
But it takes a LOT for a black deer to "die", they need to be beyond wounded, they actually need to die so they become a regular deer again. I don't want a black deer to be hit one time and then suddenly he/she's back to normal. Another way for them to turn back is if the war ends and the Good/Neutral side wins, and they haven't "died", they will turn back into a normal deer. But, if the Bad side wins, they still are black deer and will destroy the forest.
Set:
Beluga pelt, Orca mask, Beluga antlers. If your character you want to use has a zombie spell (Skull mask, Zombie antlers, Zombie pelt), you are free to keep that spell. Up to player if he/she can use mini spell.
Your Mission:
Kill Pierce and destroy the Forest!
Actions:
Amazement+Moo=Lightning bursts. Used to shock and stun deer, giving them the perfect chance to attack.
Taunt+roar= Shooting flames from mouth. The fire will leave major burns on a body.
Hearing and shaking head constantly= Biting the deer. This will turn the deer into a black deer.
Rear+bow= Surrender a battle. If the other deer see this and surrender too they will do this too.
Amazement+Rofl= Your deer fell to the ground from a blow. You can either run away or get back up and fight.
Logoff= Your deer has "died". The next time you log in your character is back to his/her original form, but may not remember who he/she is or still might try to kill Pierce/destroy the forest, etc.
Other actions are up to the player.
Rules:
1. Do not bite deer that are not in the war. Even neutral side means they are involved in the war.
2. No Mary Sueing. The Black deer have certain powers to use.
3. Don't turn back into your deer's original form after just a few blows. Like I said your deer has to actually die to turn back.
4. Do not bite another deer in battle.

Good Side
Good and Neutral side's theme:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyL9_tW_g_c&feature=related
Set:
The character's set.
Description:
If you want to join this side, you must save the forest from the black deer. But remember- the black deer can bite you, and you may become one of them.
If you are in a battle and one of the deer bites you, you must run away from battle and get your set. Remember, if you have a zombie spell, you may keep that spell.
The Good deer don't have actions like the black deer, but if your character has powers you are free to use them. This is why the Good team is more powerful than the bad team, we have more unique powers, they don't.
Your mission:
Save Pierce and the Forest!
Actions:
Rear+bow= Surrender a battle. If the other deer see this and surrender too they will do this too.
Amazement+Rofl= Your deer fell to the ground from a blow. You can either run away or get back up and fight.
Logoff= Your deer has died. Use this if you want to kill off your character.
Other actions are up to player.
Rules:
1. No Mary Sues, meaning don't use super awesome powers to kill all the black deer.
2. Being on the good side means the Black Deer have permission to bite you. Unless you tell us you do not wish to be bitten.
3. You are free not to fight in every battle.
4. SING AN AWESOME BATTLE SONG WHEN FIGHTING.

Neutral Side
If you join this side, you are neither on the good side or bad side. You try to keep safe from the bloodshed. But beware, black deer roam the forest now, their teeth yearning to bite...
If you join this side, you are still in the war, but you don't do anything. This is basically giving permission for the black deer to bite you. If you are not interested in being in the war or not wanting to be bitten, do not pick any of the sides and ignore this thread. We will not bother you.

Next Battle: I plan the next battle to be after Pierce is out of his coma, whenever that is, and I plan it to be somewhere near the pond.
There will be a war,
It will end it all,
There will be a war,
It will decide the Forest's fate.
Well its not necessarily a
Just my opinion on the subject :]
Perhaps the actual combat
edit:
In response to what HexStag mentioned:
Big plots like this do influence more players than just those involved. Anyone playing TEF who has their ambient sounds volume up will hear every moo of the battle participants. Anyone who wants to visit the pond or other location where a battle will take place is going to be impacted. Anyone who hasn't been notified about the event (a random passerby) will be impacted, not everyone uses The Community site.
Now I'm not saying they will be impacted in a negative way persay, but that is a very real possibility that should be taken into consideration. I am confident the players participating in and organizing this can come up with something that will really fun and not be a huge stink for anyone not in on the event.
I agree with Tera I hadn't
Thank you Kaoori for this drawing!Natali looks beautiful =D
That sounds like a good idea.
*sigh* I knew this would
I'll explain a little more.
All of this that is happening, is basically happening to the plot of a couple of my characters. The king wants to kill Pierce. Voice wants to chase the king. Basically, this war is happening to Pierce and the king and Voice, and other characters are joining in.
I do admit I kinda felt guilty when I posted this, as I knew the main purpose of the forest was to be peaceful.
I can f*cking delete this and I think I will, after reading everyone's response.
I remember reading a story
Maybe you could do something that still involves letting players join their characters to either side but just rethink how those two sides interact? I'm sure there are other event alternatives to large scale battles; maybe something more puzzle, strategy based would work. (Puzzles that would require characters to work together, or to go into The Forest to collect things before the other side like the game Capture the Flag).
I think this event could work, BluedeerLegend, you obviously have the interest of several players who want to take part! Maybe all it needs is a new direction and some more planning.
^ I agree with this ^^
The powers you gave the black
But I don't understand all the complaints about this. The forest will never be peaceful, not as long as we have actions such as taunt, rear and lower antlers. There will alwaysbe aggressive characters, and there will always be fighting in the forest, no matter if you carry on with this plot or not.
And you also told people to ignore this if they didn't want to be involved, so I really don't see the problem here. Illrose is still a black deer, but if this get out of hand, I'll let her get killed earlier than planned.
If it's a plot between your
I agree with a lot that has
By all means, violent plots need to be handled carefully, and if there's all out war plots, there's bound to be dozens to protest it.
I'll keep an eye out for this
my deer goddess and Skydancer
Goddess:a candled pelt deer with no mask and peacock antlers
power: magic spells ect.
SkyDancer: a deer that rocketed down to earth from the sky constellations(star pelt orca mask orca antlers)
powers: the ability to fly and healing powers

Hm, are you going to continue
Because I think I'll have Illrose's black deer form killed pretty soon, and she'll probably not participate in any war then. n_n
I think I will continue it.
War? No thanks, not in a
I think like the many others here, I'll pass, k'thx.
Alright. ^^ Illrose will
Illrose will probably be killed this weekend, so she won't participate in the war, I guess.
I'm killing her off this early because AliceV' - who plays the deer that will kill Illrose - are going away next week, so we'll try to get it done before she leaves.
But it was really interesting to play a black deer, thank you for that. n__n
Whelp :\ If this turns sour
If this turns sour i guess ill have no choice but to withdraw my chars as well.
When you finalize your decision be sure to post it up so i can see whether or not I need to keep the plots for my chars going.
I've decided that we will
Ok then I'm glad to hear your
I'm glad to hear your standing by your plot
Ill keep my chars in.
o3o do you mind putting Hexane in the Neutral section? I didn't intend for him to be involved much in the war. Hes got a lot going on as it is lol.
