I think that's a wonderful idea, you could organize it on another account? Maybe where the other member of this tribe could post stories and whatnot?

This makes me think a lot about a writing/art event I held called Forest Fables, a lot of stories about how things in the Forest came to be. You're more than welcome to look at those stories and maybe get some ideas.

As for this, I may participate in it. It sounds fun.

Very interesting idea. It's something I would be interested in being apart of provided it takes off. No input though.

Glad to hear you're interested in it! :]

Sweet! I'm totally going to type up some ideas right now!

It sounds like a lot of fun.
But not trying to be mean, herds are not very welcome in the forest. They can cause massive problems and fights over petty little things are bound to come out of nowhere and explode. Such as people thinking there better than others and what not. Depending on how well managed this 'tribe' is will determine its outcome.

Just because it’s a “tribe” or “herd” does not mean anyone outside of the tribe/herd has to be excluded from them or to feel left out. The ‘tribe’ could just share a common background and customs. They could be very friendly to outsiders and welcome them as brothers even though they do not share history.

I rather like the idea. : ) I have a deer Native American based deer (though I haven’t worked on him much) who would fit in with a tribe. And I know one other deer character who is Native American base. Maybe they would be interested too? I could mention it to them.

Sounds good. :3

Perhaps the tribe before coming to TEF were represented by the image of the deer? Or had you planned on them having always been deer? Perhaps this is their afterlife since they were represented by the deer and find all of TEF as sacred. Along with the other deer of the forest not of their tribe? Just throwing some ideas at you if you haven’t already thought of them. :- P

My deer's name is Ahanu. As I've said I have not worked on him much. Poor boy doesn't even have his bio' yet. But originally he was going to be a young, overly eager warrior (and a bit of a goof off) who was felled. Then lead by his guardians to the forest upon his death. But I can change this or that to fit in with the tribe's history once you and/or we have it worked out.

If things workout I also have a doe I will be adding to my list soon that might fit well in with the tribe as well. I was debating on making her the sister of my Reimu but I wasn't completely sure on that.

Well, if Ahanu doesn't work I could always stick with that doe I told you about. I just thought Ahanu might have fit as being born into the tribe but now I think he probably wouldn't. Summer's, my doe's, history is completely up in the air at the moment. I had some ideas but nothing solid. Mostly just her personality and some fine details about her character are concrete. Reimu is also more like a pure TEF deer. So he could work. Reimu has a bio' if you like to take a look. :3

This idea has me so intrigued I have already began making a blog layout for future deer char., while also running several ideas to fit this "theme" through my head.

My only issue (and it really is only a personal point for me) would be that you should make sure you do adequate research if you plan on emulating a specific Tribe or First Nations group. If you plan on making your own unique one then this isn't really a problem, but I'm never fond of when people simply skim Wikipedia and then create a character and label it 'Algonquin' or 'Inuit' or what have you (Canadian examples because that's where I'm from).

Best of luck with your tribal endeavors!

Of course! I hate when people do things like that. I remember one person in my class had to write a report on a Native American Tribe and got all of her information from the movie "Dances with Wolves." She put no research time into it at all, but still got an B despite her actual knowledge of the tribe.

I actually thought about taking different aspects of various tribes (not only north american) and weaving them together.

Being my stalker self, I found his bio and he seems like a neat character! I have a terrible memory for pictos so I have no idea if I've seen him before or not. xD

I hate when people restrict others from doing what they want with their characters (reasonably, of course.) I find that it would be too....what's the word....bland if the Tribe was only based on one specific real life tribe. With the different pieces from different places, it would welcomes all walks of life.
