Roleplaying

This RP takes place in the state of Florida in what you can say is a near future.

The native species have somehow formed an alliance with each other to do what they can to drive out the invaders and can even talk to each other, but not to the invaders or the humans.

The invading species are quite diverse and well populated, but they are still split from each other by species barriers (except for a few special cases in which two closely related species, such as Burmese and African Rock Pythons, can end up making hybrids that are larger and more dangerous than the former two).

Many of the humans that fight this war over the state of Florida actively go out and take on the invaders either for the protection of other humans, to stabilize the environment, or simply for the heck of it (yes, even the hunters are good guys here). Of course, there are still some humans that don't care about the risks and end up releasing non-native species either because these people realized the dangers, want to harvest the creatures for alternative medicine, or simply by pure accident.

Right now, in the state of Florida, many different animal species have been accidentily or purposely introduced into the wild environments and are causing havoc for both the native wildlife and the humans. These invaders vary by size, shape, and colors but they all have a common goal: To adapt to these new environments even if it is at cost of the natives. Even the almighty American Alligator is having trouble with these new invaders as they eat the alligators' eggs or even swallow adults whole. Some of the humans have also grown to despise these invading forces and there are even laws that are put in on these peoples' behalf. Whether you are an invasive species, a native species, or a human, you will end up getting participating in this war whether you like it or not.
Ever since the Spanish set foot in the Americas in search of exploration and conquest, non-native species have been invading Florida. These first invaders were domesticated pigs that ended up turning feral. Over the next few centuries though, especially the 1900's and 2000's, many more invasive species such as pythons, snakehead fish, Gambian pouched rats, moniter lizards and many others. After centuries of having to put up with these destructive invaders, the native animals have had enough and have made an alliance with each other to try to drive back these invaders.

No Godmodding

If you are a native species, you can communicate with other natives but not to invaders. If you are an invading species, you can only communicate with other members of your species. Humans also apply to that rule.

Keep this PG-13 when it comes to violence or language.

You can have offspring, but don't go into too much detail.

If there is a species that is currently in the state of Florida (native or invasive) you would like me to add, you can make a suggestion in the OOC chat.
