This rp is based off the game called horizon zero dawn which is set about one thousand years in the future in a world where humans have regressed to primitive tribal societies as a result of some unknown calamity that destroyed human civilization. Their technologically advanced predecessors are vaguely remembered as the “Old Ones”. Large robotic creatures known simply as “machines” now dominate the Earth. For the most part they peacefully coexist with humans, who occasionally hunt them for parts
They are three big tribes: the Nora, the Carja, and the Oseram. The Nora are fierce hunter-gatherers who live in the mountains and worship nature as the “All-Mother.” The Carja are desert-dwelling city builders who worship the Sun. The Oseram are tinkerers known for their metalworking, brewing, and arguing; they also serve as mercenaries.
Weapons you can use: SPEARS, bows, rattlers ( The rattlers are short range, burst fire weapons. They are designed for close quarters only, as their accuracy drops off after just a few feet. ), ropecasters ( The ropecasters are a form of tether device. They can be used to attach thick cables to machines, pinning them in place. The bigger the machine, the more shots it will take. Useful for locking down fast moving foes, or enemies who just won't back off. ), SLINGS ( they are slow but launch bombs ), TRIPCASTERS ( like ropecasters but much stronger)
The machines you can be or face or override ( in the game there is a special tool connected to your spear that can override machines and make them your friends or pets or even can give you a ride and fight in battle)
Watchers ( they observe and scan the environment in search for threats. If a danger is spotted, the Watcher will let out an electronic screech that alerts all nearby machines and they can attack humans by charging and tackling them, knocking them down and doing light damage. When startled, Watchers also have the ability to blind humans through the use of a bright light emitted from their eyes. ) :

Broadhead ( Broadheads have no ranged attacks, but are extremely fast. One must take caution when overriding or taking down a Broadhead.

Lancehorn ( Using its horns, the Lancehorns can gather materials from the ground. One can commonly see them with their heads close to the ground and the sound of their drills filling the air. They can also use them for fighting opponents, as well as a charge and kick attack. ):
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/...20170228084351
Longleg ( The Longleg is an agile machine that can alert other machines to its location via an alarm. In this regard, it behaves like a more combat-capable Watcher. When in combat, the Longleg utilizes quick movements, making it very hard to engage once it has been alerted to an enemy presence. For weapons, the machine uses sonic blasts to disorient and overwhelm humans. ) :

Charger ( The Charger uses an attack known as the Charge Attack, which, like many others, is an attack in which the machine charges at the attacker. Like many of its counterparts, such as the Grazer, this machine uses a backwards kick or leap to harm enemies from the rear. ):
http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/...20170228084348
Stalker ( The Stalker possesses the ability to turn invisible as a way of ambushing its prey. On its back is a dart gun.

Glinthawk ( Glinthawks can lift the "corpses" of neutralized machines, most likely to dismantle them and reuse their components and can also shoot ice balls at you or dive in to end you )
http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/...20170118151926
Ravager ( While a Sawtooth charges targets like a great cat, the Ravager fights like a Timber Wolf, dodging around its prey and making dash attacks with its front claws and teeth. The Ravager is both agile and fast, easily able to keep up with the target and avoid projectiles. The Ravager's main weapon is the Ravager Cannon, an automatic energy weapon that fires a rapid burst of powerful blue projectiles.)
http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/...20170228084351
Snapmaw ( The Snapmaw can cover a lot of distance on the ground, leaping or charging forward with its powerful legs. In close combat, Snapmaws utilize a coolant liquid stored inside their cryo sacs. They can attack from a distance using a Freeze Burst, shooting super-cooled liquid that can freeze their opponents.):
