Once upon a time there was a land called Rockerland. Rockerland was a war torn world with vast empty, lifeless space everywhere except small fortified cities with little room for anything Rockerland was full of creatures with a certain mark. This mark showed which alliance they belonged to. This mark could be changed if their alliance did. A change would give them the perks of that alliance. They also morphed into the host creature of the alliance if they were proven trustworthy. The alliances were one for each symbol in Rock, Paper, Scissors Upgraded. A few marks were laid on both wrists. These marks never changed so they could identify anyone if creatures wanted to.
A groundhog named Burrow was born into the rock alliance, the dominant alliance of the whole world( which is why empty space is rocks and the name of this world is Rockerland). The groundhogs along with many underground creatures were considered servants of upper species. Creatures everywhere were given chances to rise to the top. There were only three chances to rise up a level from servants. The first was an academic test that could be taken anytime. The creature with the top score was passed into a upper class species as with all their descendants for a hundred years. The second chance was when they were in their middle ages an Olympics was held the winners were promoted with all descendants for a century. The third was a combination of both and could be taken anytime after the Olympics (Second chance.) Other "Alliances" had a different method but somewhat the same.
Burrow's family was the only groundhog family not yet promoted in the century yet. The (natural) life span of all creatures was the same. The current war was everyone versus the rock alliance in an effort to overthrow them. However, those alliances did not trust each other and even though they worked together well a victory's spoils were not equally shared they fought against each other until the spoils were so small that all of it combined was less than each one had before.
Often wars were short with a single battle up to 23 battles maximum. Most were over in a month. The time period between wars however was even shorter up to a few hours of peace.
One day, Burrow decided not to work in any contest and gather efforts in stopping wars altogether. Peace efforts were made. All the alliances then turned on peace organizations. They were easily crushed by the alliances and Burrow and her friends were thrown in prison. Each day an animal was interrogated and tried, sometimes it was important, sometimes it was to make them choose how they wanted to die.
The next day that same animal was killed. 5 died in the process before another war struck and each alliance took 3 members before turning on each other. After long periods of being held in prison, escaping, gathering the members, fighting again, and getting captured, Burrow tried a different approach and wrote on a surrvery. "Why do you fight?". After no one knew the world became peaceful.
