First, I want to talk about how winner will be decided. This is gonna be based on most likes, because I don't want to choose one character or sub story over another.

I created a little world where anyth8ng can happen.

I love the world and some of the characters I made for it, but I don't know what I would do for a story or anything.

I thought this would be a fun way to build community by letting multiple people incorporate their own stories into the "canon" and introduce their own characters.

The winner and I (and probably a few others) will work together into turning this world and all added characters (with credits to their creators) into a cohesive storyline.

The world:

This world is based on one much like ours. However, there is a place where the lifeforce bleeds from the core of the planet, altering reality.

Humans that settles around this mako-charged volcano (I dunno what I want to call the planet's lifeforce here. FFXII) wound up gaining elemental powers depending on where in the ring of power they loved.

This ring is the radius around the volcano where every habitat seems to exist with no real explanation. There's a swamp, desert, casm, jungle, forest, rivers, a large, glistening lake, lava plain, and just about any other environmental habitat you could dream of, downsized to dwell in this one corner of the world.

Humans mutate into anthropomorphic animals so connected to a specific element or other aspect of nature unrelated to fauna, that they gain powers and their looks are altered to match. Kind-of like quirks in My Hero Acedamia crossed with Sonic the Hedgehog, crossed with Avatar the Last Airbender.

Let's keep this available to everyone in language and spirit. I'm making it PG so we don't entirely have to avoid violence or interesting suspenseful problems in our stories, just please avoid gore in this one (as much as I love gore) and keep away from any... OTHER topics that aren't suitable to younger/family audiences. Keep swearing at a minimum too, please.
