Post Apocalyptic. The game would take place 10 years (still fuzzy on that) after 90% of the humans have died off from a pandemic disease. The game would be pretty loose, you'd be able to go around and do what you please, but any elder you'd talk to would have stories about the humans. The generic storyline is that the earth is basically up for grabs. Icarathians are one of the smarter animals around, so they're naturally up to take control of the planet. All the other animals you fight and beat up can be competing species. That's how it can relate back to the dinosaur thing, when a sort of society pack started up there. So the storyline is that you're an icarathian, interested in starting up society, a revolution of sorts. you'd have to rise through status either via kills of the other animal or maybe find the humans that are left and help them, or something along those lines. I'm still a little fuzzy on that. But it would be good explaination for why there are no humans around, and why there's even progression allowed, since they're not around. Celestial blue = [the planet you're on]. "take control the celestial blue" [sic], etc.
