Once upon a time, nothing exploded and that made everything. Fast forward billions of years and you have this rock with people on, and it's the only rock known to the people on the rock to have people living on a rock. The people living on the rock (humans) called the rock Earth (well the ones that speak English did) and they've been living on the Earth ever since (they were there before that, but it ties up the story nicely)
Okay, now you're caught up on the lore of humans, I can explain this thread! Welcome to 'A Very Accurate History of The World', a RP, Combat and Story Focussed thread set throughout the entirety of human history! What makes this thread unique is that it will progress through all of the human time periods, starting with the Prehistoric Age and ending with the Modern day, however you are not constrained to historical accuracy and can be as inaccurate as you want (within reason, see rules) as long as it makes a fun story! You can find out what period we're currently playing from the big bold capital letters of doom up at the top of this post.
Okay, now you're caught up on the concept, now time for the rules:
The Rules 1. As normal with any thread, abide by all the forum rules, and please keep topics PG-13. 2. Roleplay and interact with others in a sociable way. Don't be a meanie 3. Use the Commoner Stat Block for all characters to begin with. They can be upgraded to other NPC statblocks as the story progresses, but stick to Commoners to start with. 4. Follow all instructions of mods, what they say is final. 5. Name your favourite dinosaur in your first post so we know you've read this (and don't be basic and say T-Rex) 5. Although we are mainly ignoring historical accuracy, that does not mean you can go crazy. No nukes in the Prehistoric age and no mind control in the Renaissance. That's too far.
You may make multiple characters as the story progresses, however the goal we have in mind with this thread is to take the first character you have, and then follow their lineage throughout the ages, playing as one of their descendants in each. That means if you make multiple characters, you'll end up with multiple lineages to keep track of.
Okay, now I've got that all sorted, I think we can begin. If I've missed anything I'll update this thread. Let the generations of chaos begin!
First things first, where we dropping boys where are we choosing as our cradle of civilization? Think it's best we all start in the same place and then can branch off out into the world. Here's a really awful map I'll be using to keep track of our inevitable borders and empires.
A caveman is looking at a pile of rocks and twigs. Always a slight loner from his tribe, always more focused on making things. Currently, under a tree, he’s trying to make something with rocks a twigs

In a cave lit by a simple campfire, there lives a human woman. She has collected enough food for herself, and one other person. She doesn’t know why, though. She’s quite lonely… the only thing she has to comfort her is her art. She crushes up fruits and berries, and uses the juices and pastes to make paintings on the walls. Of herself, of animals she’s seen, of everything she’s ever encountered. She’s starting to run out of space…

[Alright, that makes the most sense, sounds good!]
[I'm gonna play Uggnar Growl from the original idea I had on the Thread Thread, not sure about his descendants Borblor Growl, Alequinius Growl and Tony Growl though since that would mean his prehistoric last name lasted thousands of years lol.]
Outside of the tribe's central cave, a man is bashing a branch into the skull of a wildebeest, trying to split the bone in half and make a staff. He's fairly unsuccessful, especially since the yellowing skull has dried in the heat of the weeks it's been left out, after it was picked clean shortly after the hunt. After a half an hour of trying, the man gives up and chucks the branch away with his signature growl, which is where he gets his Chief Name from. The chief always picks a special set of noises for each person, which they call a name, and then the parents of the person choose the name that goes in front. His parents chose Uggnar, which means Uggnar in Cavemanish.

The sounds of Uggnar trying to bash the wildebeest skull with the branch is heard by Hirla, who lives mostly alone in a cave nearby, hidden by foliage. She cautiously exits her home and, hiding behind trees when she can, tries to investigate the source of the sound.
*absolutely. This is gonna be the origin of like, Romeo and Juliet and then our versions of the wars of the roses or something*
”Then I make my own stick!” She sees a nearby skull, that of some sort of Antelope, and takes a large stick, and begins trying to fix the skull to the top of it. Due to her skills with art and crafting by herself, she seems quite good at it.
Uggnar is irritated by her show of craftmanship, but decides to persevere just to spite her. He takes his materials and wanders off to the edge of the camp so nobody else can copy his idea, and he tries to bash the branch into the skull again, unknowingly behind the tree Himy's character is resting by.
Hirla, having connected the branch and the antelope skull, gets an idea. She begins to carve spiral patterns and pictures of animals into her branch, to show that its not only better than Uggnar’s, but that its also hers.

The sounds of Uggnar trying to bash the wildebeest skull with the branch is heard by Hirla, who lives mostly alone in a cave nearby, hidden by foliage. She cautiously exits her home and, hiding behind trees when she can, tries to investigate the source of the sound.
Uggnar spots Hirla and crudely points, and says something, the translation being 'You! Woman! I cannot put the skull on the stick! Can you help?'

Discovered, Hirla slowly walks out from behind the tree.
‘Why are you trying to put the skull on the stick?’ She asks, looking around to see if there are any others around.
Uggnar grins and says words to the effect of 'If I put skull on stick, I am more better than everyone else. Except Chief. Chief has leaf crown.'

‘If Hirla helps, I am good, more good than you! Deal?’
Uggnar narrows his eyes. 'No...because you will not have stick and I will. So I will be gooder. Unless you get your own stick'
