Look what I just made... Umm.... Really? Bigpaw? From the Starlyasis era?

For those of You who care and doesn't know about it, BIGPAW used to be the Protegonistic faction back in the Starlyasis era. Just like the Terrorists, this too was based on an idea I encountered before... or rather, on a bunch of inconsistent shit I decided to mix together in a childish rage of uncontrolled imagination -the same one that led Me to become a character thief on DA for an evening, which led to Me harassing YAOI fans- and didn't come out as something interpretable... Now are they a militia? Are they gangsters? Are they a part of a bigger military force? Or they the military force? Are they... what? I don't really know what I wanted with them. I saw some animated characters and tried to emulate those attitudes into a Command and Conquer-esque faction, where they would have tanks and shit. Everything was vague and unfinished, rushed, or outright ridiculous at that time. Of course, with the Terrorists of that time, I could have the excuse that I can tell what I wanted with it -at some point at least, until it too became a mess-, and I initially based it off the infamous Iraqi War terrorists, which were, Ya know, the shit back then. Everyone wanted a piece of the action (Call of Duty 4 Modern Warface, C&C Generals, Battlefield 2, and heck knows what else...). Bigpaw on the other hand was more of a mashup of ideas seen in movies like Oliver & Company, All Dogs go to heaven, The fox and the hound 2, etc... So... yea... A mess... But I guess if I recycled the Terrorists into "The Darkness", I can do something to BIGPAW too. Given that the idea came from Characters that are basically streetwise little tricksters, but I may never make the exact same feeling those characters do... But I may end up with something here...

BIGPAW would, however, need the war between the UN and The Darkness to take place when the first "mutant" humans began appearing, and it's not easy to pinpoint why the mutation happened. I mean, the thing is literally named after something called "BIGPAW" probably a giant dog or something, and as such, it must have something to do with animals without having to be PETA or something. BigPaw folks are essentially mutants united undner one banner due to the unpopularity of them. "Have you ever seen such a thing in Your life as a man with a dog head?" Says society soon to be taken by the mutation as well. A possible explanation: They might have been the result of a government funded series of biology research, particularly DNA Engineering, which created mutants out of the test subjects. Imagine a secret of NIMH-esque situation, except these were people instead of rats. The test subjects managed to escape at one point, wanting to leave behind the torture they had endured, only to find out that the torture came with them, lasting all the way to their transformation.

BigPaw is something like the "Red Cross" for these, and a slowly increasing number of other mutants, with light weaponry at best, but the street wise cunning of a stray dog, so to speak. Their name was a reference to a mythical creature that would protect smaller ones in need, clearly representing them protected by their organization. Their presence could be felt worldwide, for which they used social media to communicate. So, you got a low budget semi-militia of outcasts that dwell in hiding in a similar manner as The Darkness, or really any other terrorist organization does. But BIGPAW never had any ill-will. They are just survivors of their past who struggle to stay alive in a world that looks down on them. They just so happen to know a thing or two about street life, and exploit the city to get away from trouble. (My original idea with the BIGPAW faction was something like this, I just messed it up so badly)

One day, tho, The Darkness begins appearing in television, and their name is all over the internet. It doesn't take long until the first terroris attack under them is executed, and while the initial blow doesn't seem like much, the survivors begin falling ill. Some of BIGPAW's members are among the victims of this disease. And expecting not to get any help from the normies, BIGPAW takes matters into their own hands, getting themselves into the WAR ON TERROR, which only got worse by the appearance of The Darkness, and the rising tensions within the modern society which will lead to a World War Three. And from World War Three comes the seeds of a Dystopian future.

The BIGPAW Arsenal is where most questions lie. While the infantry would obviously be one of the most improvised, picking up weapons after the dead of the actual war and all, the faction is more questionable when it comes to vehicles.

This is as far as I can work with the BIGPAW idea. Wether it's made a part of Furry Islanders lore, gets renovated entirely or I scrap it again, only time can tell. I am not very satisfied with what I just wrote for them, tho. I think they need a lot more thinking, a lot more ideas, a lot more polish. This is an idea that's rather hard to pinpoint, actually.
