Welcome To the Blackswallow Roleplay
This is a world that can be summed up as 'biopunk'. As in biology technology.
Technology around this world: The technology is primarily augmented animals. Most importantly there are life weavers, who are scientists who modify the DNA of creatures, making chimeras and all these strange animal hybrids happen. Glowing electrical stones are rare things that are basically batteries for rare but important machines. The only people who would have access to them would be government, the rich, life weavers, and those who mine it. For light, most people use animals with bioluminescence of other animals or insects or shrimp. Gunpowder is a thing, but metal to make guns is hard to come by.
The life weavers: From the outside, they look like a cult of scientists with matching robes that cover their face, during ceremonies. To identify an actual life weaver who is not in robes they need their identification coin and a tattoo on their leg signifying such. Only the powerful know about the leg tattoo part. The coin they use to get free supplies from stores or to wave their power around.
They work in secret underground bases constructing chimera, augmented animals, and hybrids for labor, war, or pleasure. They may align themselves with countries but most of the time they don’t. They have become secretive to where they work due to the Elephant Wars during which countries would try to capture the best life weavers and torture them to work for their side.
In this war, the elephant wars, the allied life weavers weren’t enough for some countries and they wanted the best one, Dr. Blackswallows. Then the fight wasn’t over land anymore it was over life weavers. The life weavers made who were neutral during the war, banded together to keep the doctor safe. Many took up the doctor’s name and eventually every country had at least two Blackswallows on their team. After many rebellious hijinks of the life weavers, now renamed the Blackswallows in some areas, created the treaty to end the war. The Life weavers got their own area on some islands as a safe haven for the Blackswallows called the Blackswallows. Only certified life weavers are even allowed to embark on the trip to the Blackswallows.
