So last night on Discord I decided to show someone my Poopsie redesigns. That someone recommended me some ideas and that inspired me to separate it from the Poopsie line and make it into an original web series! After all, Them's Fightin' Herds used to be an MLP fangame, right?
also, the release date is hypothetical, so don't fully embrace on that part. sorry.
special thanks to the friend (i dunno if she has a Tumblr, so I'm just gonna call her Pastel) for recommending me the names and more character ideas!!!
More info under the cut!!!
Main Story:
The webshow takes place in a magical, colorful, yet rather unsanitary underground world, deep within a massive sewer system of an alternate Earth. On this version of Earth, mythical creatures and cryptids are all real and everyone is aware of their existence.
But long ago, they went into hiding in the sewer, so long in fact that several years ago the legends have heavily mutated from a combination of their magic and sewer chemicals. While most live out in the wild now, the mutations are long lasting and quite a lot of the creatures still lurk underground.
The episodes feature a quartet of gasmask-clad, adorable but disease-ridden and unclean ungulate-based mutants (or as they’re better called, Toxicorns), known as the Sludge Squad, who dwell underground and go on crazy misadventures as they go outside the sewer and into their part of the surface to try to steal human food and technology for their peers and wreak havoc out of sheer boredom from underground life.
The Squad themselves:
Name: Radiella
Race: Unicorn
Favorite Music Genre: Classical
Favorite Movie Genre: Drama
Hobbies?: Leading the Squad, Styling, Reading
Radiella is the leader and troublemaking diva. It should be noted that unlike what you’d might expect for a cartoon character as fashion-obsessed as her, she is NOT stupid. She has studied humanity well and knows how to outsmart them in her Squad’s raids.
Name: Toxicci
Race: Jersey Devil
Favorite Music Genre: Punk
Favorite Movie Genre: Comedy
Hobbies?: Experimenting, Rocking Out, Breaking Stuff
Toxicci is a brash punk rocker scientist and loves to invent and experiment. In spite of her clumsiness, Radiella knows that Toxicci is well successful when it comes to her work, and has her as her right-hand mare.
Name: Sludgie
Race: Kelpie
Favorite Music Genre: Pop
Favorite Movie Genre: Romance
Hobbies?: Hiking, Dancing, Chatting
Sludgie is sweet and cheerful, who has a strong admiration for dancing. While very absent minded, she also has an eye for exploration and manages to know all the locations in the city above the Squad’s sewer area.
Name: Urania
Race: Pegasus
Favorite Music Genre: Grunge
Favorite Movie Genre: Horror
Hobbies?: Drawing, Painting, Joking
Urania is one who acts like she’s seen everything, no matter how weird it gets. She is often seen drawing and painting the macabre and dark, and is the wisecracker of the group. Radiella likes her cause she’s funny, and does prove to be a good lookout for the Squad.
Other Characters So Far (not pictured):
Sharon Steele is an antagonist, a human rich stockbroker who the Sludge Squad frequently heist stuff from, who is absolutely DISGUSTED AND APPALLED by the existence of the mutants in the sewers.
Other mutants are also willing to help the Squad out, like mutant dragons, mermaids, gryphons, and mothmen.
