**THIS RP IS READY TO BE JOINED! HAAAAVE FUN!**

So, here we go! COLORS is an RP I made that is not actually related to Slime Rancher whatsoever. Yeah. BUT! I am putting it one here so that people can join with their characters as Rattoxes. This world is called Esteria.

This RP will **not** be the official story for the actual COLORS thing I'll make. I haven't even decided if it will be a book, an animated series/movie, or something else.

Okay, the image is working, but the resolution is horrible... I need to use a better camera. I will add the map soon!

Since the image isn't on yet, I'll list the villages:

Virma (Surrounded by the Wall, the Elyan Forest, and the Tarna Mountains, west side of Esteria, metalworking-related jobs)

Desertra (In a peninsula-shaped area, surrounded mostly by the Wall, and a little by Entorya Desert and the Tarna Mountains, southwest corner of Esteria, mining-related jobs)

Uta (Surrounded by the Wall and the Great Plains, west of Ektra and northwest of the Keep, farming-related jobs)

Ektra (Also surrounded by the Wall and the Great Plains, east of Uta and north of the Keep, livestock-related jobs)

Altra (Between Andre Mountains, Altra River, and Altrean Woods, south of the Keep, Forestry- and Water-related jobs)

Forena (Northeast corner of Esteria, miscellaneous jobs)

The Keep (Center of Esteria, the only walled city, also has the COLORS' Castle in the center, trade management jobs)

Each village has its own Ring!

## Rules

1. This is a more serious RP, so do not take deaths too lightly unless you are a COLOR! COLORS can make jokes about it (not very many, unless you are in the highest ranks), but keep in mind that to your characters, these are real people who are dying!
2. No being OP, if you die you are dead! COLORS are physically stronger than Grays!
3. Jokes are fine, but don't do anything that doesn't actually work.
4. ~~NO MAGIC!~~ MAGIC IS NOW ALLOWED, BUT NOTHING OP! COLORS are more magically powerful than Grays, too!
5. Any characters you add are Rattoxes in this RP, and they actually have a history! Make groups of your characters into families, even if they aren't related outside this RP! For example, I could make Psycho Emma's brother, even though they aren't related! YOUR CHARACTERS MUST HAVE FAMILIES! They must at least have parents, unless they don't remember them! Also, all families have their own last name! Make one up!
6. Rattoxes are basically rats with fox tails. **IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT, YOU CAN BE A FOX, A RAT, A MOUSE, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT SIZE! OR you can be a larger animal, but not be bigger than a Rattox. Just no badgers.**
8. All characters who aren't COLORS are in black and white, aka they are Grays! If that causes a problem with your character, ask me, and I'll make them a COLOR!
9. COLORS do not need families, but should have them if they are important characters. If a character is a COLOR, they either live in a village away from their family and don't know they exist, or their whole family are COLORS.
10. NO TECH! This RP is in a medieval-like setting, with nothing more advanced than crossbows. Medicine is NOT like medieval medicine, as it does not involve leeches and is a lot less toxic. But no surgery. Also, try not to get blood poisoning. I don't want many limbs chopped off except in battle. **OKAY THIS RULE HAS BEEN CHANGED! TECH IS ALLOWED, BUT ONLY IF IT WAS BROUGHT IN BY SOMEONE FROM OUTSIDE ESTERIA, *OR COLOR TECH!!!!!***
11. Anyone who was in the chat when I revealed what this was before this page was made, do not mention any of it! I want a reveal about those who get past the Ring!
12. You may only put 1 of your families in each village!
13. If a village already has 3 families (not including 1-person families), think about putting your families in other villages, but if it only has one, please put one of yours in to cause some interactions!
14. Fur color can be any color, and pattern can be any pattern!
15. Rattoxes live to around 75 years.
16. Ranks for COLORS, from highest to lowest, with maximum quantities:
	1. Leader - 1 (Lives in the Keep, cannot be any more)
	2. Commander - 3 (Lives in the Keep, 2 places available, ONLY 1 COMMANDER PER PERSON!)
	3. Village Commander - 6 (one for each village, live in their respective villages, no Village Commander for the Keep because Leader and the Commanders live there)
	4. Squad Leader - 35 (5 for each village, live in their respective villages)
	5. Soldier - 350 (500 for each village, 10 for each Squad, live in their respective villages)
17. Any Grays with jobs that require working with weapons are highly supervised! There is always a COLOR there when they are working with weapons, and they get locked out of the weapon storage when they go home, so stockpiling weapons will be hard!
18. Keep in mind, in this RP, characters have different ages! They will act at least slightly differently!
19. Families generally have related jobs!
20. Format for Character Sheet goes like this:
	* Username
		+ Family's Last Name (The village they live in)
			- 1st Character's First Name (Role in Family, as in Second Son, First Daughter, Etc.) - Species
				* Fur Pattern and, if the character is a COLOR, fur color; if not a COLOR, just say black, light gray, etc.
				* Age
				* Status, as in whether they are a COLOR, and if so, their rank, or if they are a Gray, their job
			- 2nd Character's First Name (Role in Family Compared to 1st Character, as in 1st Character's Brother or Sister) - Species
				* Fur pattern and, if the character is a COLOR, fur color
				* Age
				* Status, as in whether they are a COLOR, and if so, their rank, or if they are a Gray, their job

## Roleplay

In the greyscale world of Esteria, we, the Rattoxes, lived ordinary lives. Sometimes our villages went to war with eachother. Mostly, though, there was peace.

Rainbows, the only things with color, were considered signs of good luck, peace, and prosperity, and seemed to bring just that.

Until the day the rainbows filled the skies.

The day the COLORS came.

No one knows where they came from. They flooded into the villages seemingly from everywhere.

...

Some say they came from the sky.

...

...

The COLORS established their dominance easily. Most of us Grays believed they were sent to do good, and did not resist. By the time they realized the COLORS were set on domination, it was too late.

The COLORS started a project to build a huge wall around the area. It took 257 years to finish. The COLORS also built a wall around the village at the center of the area, and built the Keep. They built watch towers around the villages, "For their protection." But we know better now. They just want to make sure no one gets from one village to another.

They took over trade, forcing those in that business to seek other jobs in whatever village they were in. They took over communication. They took over our world.

It happened slowly, a little at a time, so slowly that no one noticed in time. But eventually, it grew to how it is now. If you speak out against the government openly, they take you to the Ring. They give you a metal rod, and make you fight through a crowd of COLORS from one end of the Ring to the other. If you kill anyone, you are killed. If you get to the other end, you fight Baj.

Baj is a black and white striped creature, twice the size of a Rattox. The only proof that he is a COLOR is his small, red eyes. He is very powerful, and uses a pair of axes as weapons. The only way to get past him is to knock him out.

If you get through the Ring, they set you free. Outside the wall. Alone. Most don't think it's worth it. They have families. Others are too weak to make it through. But sometimes they try. And most of the time, they die.

...

This is Esteria.

This is COLORS.

Scraps and Unnamed are sitting down at their house.

"So... boring... what do we do?" - Scraps

"Boring, eh? You've only said that for the past... gosh, I don't even remember. How... long have we been here?" - Unnamed

"20 years. We have been doing the same thing for 20 years." - Scraps

"Ergh... we're treated like slaves here. We need to put a stop to this. Does that sound fun?" - Unnamed

"'Yeah. Let's go to the other villages, and hire others. We can use the tunnels I've been digging in secret for the past 20 years." - Scraps

"Alright, then, to the other villages! Let's see what we can do." - Unnamed

They set off through the tunnels, and head towards Virma. They go to each house, and are called crazy thieves, until they get to the Dark residence. Unnamed knocks. "Hello? May I have a moment of your time?"

---Prim---

(btw It should be nighttime)

Psycho answers. "Wut iz it...? Itz the midle uv the nite. Hoo ar yew... yor not from heer... wutever cum in... MOM!"

(K, I updated his speech. He talks like this)

Sal comes downstairs sleepily, sees the strangers, and wakes up immediately. "Psycho! WHAT DID I SAY about LETTING IN STRANGERS!?"

Psycho \*sarcastic\*: Itz fyn. "*COLORS"* wil "proetect" us. Hu, good job thay did when Dad got atacd and kiled!!

Sal: Don't talk like that! I know they're all turds, but what can we do about it? \*turns to Scraps and Unnamed\* I'm sorry, friends, what did you need? And, also, who are you? Are you foreigners? Are you hungry? Psycho can make you some food.

Emma comes downstairs. "Who are these people? Can I stay up for the rest of the night?

Sal glares at her. She doesn't care.

"I'll take that as a yes because I won't accept 'no' as an answer!"

Sal: If you're gonna stay up, clean the house, because inspection day is tomorrow! Apparently Commander Sirmanse herself is coming, so do it well!

(That is a problem for Scraps and Unnamed, because Sirmanse has a reputation of brutality, cleverness, and a love of bloodshed. Oh, and it starts raining, and washes the footprints away outside the tunnels. They won't know where you went in the village, but they will block up the tunnels, because...)

Meanwhile... back at their house...

Someone has found the tunnel.

It is a COLOR.

The guards are collapsing the tunnels as you speak.

--TarrRancher--

Alright, I'll make this quick. I think that we're being kept here for evil intents, and we need as many people as possible to join us. Would you be willing to help us? We have food, a couple weapons, tunnels across all of the villages, and a music player. So... you in? - Unnamed

---PTP---

Sal: Uh...

Psycho: PLEEZ CAN WE GO PLEEZ PLEEZ PLEEZ PLEEZ PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ-

Emma: I agree with Psycho! C'mon, Mom, let's ditch this dump and have fun!

Sal: BE QUIET, EVERYONE!!!

Sal takes a deep breath, then says ominously, "You do know this would be punished? By **death.** Death in the arena. And if you somehow won, which I HIGHLY doubt you would, you wouldn't survive long outside the Wall. You would die. And so would I if I came with you. Psycho, you would not be put in the arena, because you are 9, and the minimum age for being put in the arena is 10, but you would be taken to the Keep. You would be "reconditioned", so you would be abused into submission until they have crushed the fight out of you completely. I've seen those poor creatures who they do that to. Do the two of you understand?"

Emma: Um...

--TarrRancher--

Unnamed : Well, guess what. We actually practice fighting, cause we get in trouble A LOT. So... I think we can make it. Also, this. Unnamed points a laser shotgun at Sal. Scraps : So, whaddya say? You can either die an unknown citizen, or die a hero. Choose wisely.

---PTP---

Psycho says darkly, "If you're threatening her... Make sure no one here is powerful first."

Sal pulls off the tablecloth, revealing that the tabletop is a certified COLOR riot shield. She grabs it, puts it up, and pulls out a laser pistol. "I took this from a COLOR who died in the accident where Oren died! It's laserproof, so fire away!"

Psycho and Emma get behind the riot shield and prepare Dark attacks.

Suddenly... an alarm goes off nearby.

The COLORS have arrived.

You better run.

Sal: NEVERMIND, WE'RE LEAVING! FOLLOW US!

They replace the riot shield and tablecloth, and press a hidden button above the fireplace. A slide-like passage opens.

Emma: LET'S GO!

The three of them run to the passage, get down, and slide feet-first on their backs down the narrow channel.

The hidden door starts to close slowly.

---Jay---

Silver is in the Far, Far Range and notices a portal that is black, white AND rainbow. "Huh." He then jumped into it, and ended up running full speed towards a huge wall. "What is this...?" He then noticed a ramp at the wall. "Jackpot!" He then ran up it, and flew into the air. "WOOOAH!" He ends up falling on top of the COLORS, and squishes them since he was falling so fast. "OOF!" He then (somehow) saw a fireplace. He noticed that the fireplace was closing. He then boosted into the fireplace, and he just barely slid under the door, and it closed behind him.. "Woo!" He then saw three other people in front of him. "Aaah!" He then skidded to a halt, and followed them."

--TarrRancher--

Scraps: Well, I assume you guys are joining, since the COLORS will be hunting you. Hey, does this go to Altra? We have some siblings living there. Unnamed : Yeah, Jeer and Dee. They need to know too, and hey, free tunes. Everyone likes music. Right? Right?!

---Squidy822---

Meanwhile, Roska was in a trash can in an alleyway. One of the colors had seen him not too long ago. If any time was a time to hide, it was now. Roska was in Altra. He was a fan of the water.

---PTP---

k NOW I can update!

Sal smiles. "Actually, it goes to Desertra. There, we come out of the tunnels, go around a few buildings, go into another tunnel, travel through that, and THEN we are in Altra. Sadly, there are no tunnels from Virma, Desertra, or Altra that lead to the other villages. I dunno about any between the others, though."

Psycho notices Silver and says, "Um... what are you?" Sal frowns at him. "Don't be rude."

Up at the house, the COLORS are wondering where the family went. The hidden door had closed before they entered. They eventually assume they are staying at another family's house, and leave.

It will be a while before they discover otherwise.

...

---MEANWHILE, in Uta---

Entropy and Ordo wake up to the sound of someone pounding their door.

A COLOR yells, "OPEN UP!"

Entropy and Ordo get up immediately, and run to the door. They open it to see a Squad of COLORS with guns aimed at them. They put their hands up. "Okay, what is going on? What happened? We didn't do it, whatever it was." says Entropy with forced calm. The Squad Leader replies forcibly, "You are suspected of participating in an armed attack against a group of COLORS. The attackers killed 3 of the 4 COLORS, and almost killed the 4th before reinforcements arrived. The fight happened 5 days ago at about 4 PM. None of the attackers were killed or captured, and all wore masks and cloaks, so none could be identified. One wielded a 3-pronged pitchfork, which as you may know is a design that is no longer made, and only a few families, *including yours,* still own one. In fact, you own two. This pitchfork was dropped in the fight." Ordo replies, "One of our pitchforks was stolen exactly 5 days ago. It was gone when we woke up. We don't know who stole it, or where they took it, which makes things difficult, doesn't it, because we don't have that as proof in our favor. We insist that it was not us, and we were farming at the time of the attack." The Squad Leader orders, "Then you're coming with us for investigation. YOU FIVE!" he yells, indicating five of the COLORS. "Search the house, shed, and surrounding area! Stay on guard! Everyone else, let's take these rats to holding cells in the Jailhouse!"

(Don't have someone save them, that will only get them in bigger trouble. They are innocent, by the way.)

--TarrRancher--

Oh, good, we can get you guys some stuff. We have a few things stashed... somewhere. Don't ask why, we just got bored. Also, be warned, probably the scariest village commander is in Altra. Arachna. She's merciless, and will probably arrest us. And you, since you're traveling with us. We have... a history, and we'll leave it at that. : Unnamed

---PTP---

(can't update crap sorry)

---Squidy822---

Roska ducked back into the trash can as .exe crawled into the alleyway. "Hmm? I thought I smelled, yes I smelled a kitten..." .exe lifted the lid off of the trash can Roska was hiding in. Roska was under much trash, and .exe pulled out a banana peel and ate it whole after putting the lid back down. .exe then went away.

---PTP---

Emma laughs. "Arachna, huh? Well, our village is Sirmanse's favorite place to torture people. We wake up to screams every morning she's there. Arachna? She's nothing. Mostly because she's only a Village Commander, and Sirmanse is a Commander and can torture whoever she wants."

3 hours of sharing stories and travelling later..

They arrive at Desertra.

Sal stops them from exiting the tunnel. "Okay, guys; we need to have fake names. Also, rub some charcoal and chalk in your fur to change your pattern. We can't have any COLORS recognize us, unlikely as it sounds." She passes out the charcoal and chalk and starts obscuring her pattern.

--TarrRancher--

Scraps and Unnamed rub the charcoal and chalk all over themselves. Ok, done. We just need to find our house. : Unnamed (3 hours later) Eugh. Finally. Alrighty, let's go in. : Scraps, who opens the door and hurries everyone in.
Arachna shows up with a small squad, carrying a sack that looks suspiciously like web, with a large gray rat tail poking out. She notices the group. "Strange. Only two people live in that house. You there, check it out." The COLOR walks over, and knocks loudly on the door. "OPEN UP!"
