Pre-Class Assignment - Map of Oz



     Finnvile is a small, jungle town in Winkie Country on the border of the Emerald City. It is on the river feeding into Lake Quad and has many water mills that power it. Tourism is not uncommon with people often stopping to stay the night or visit between travelling to and from between Winkie Country and the Emerald City. Their most popular attractions include riverboat tours and home cooked fish meals. It is more quiet than the city, most of its residents make their living off of trade. They have a high munchkin and animal population, mostly living in small huts made from wood and leaves that blend in with the environment. The Cowardly Lion has his own hut within the village that he enjoys to lounge in while listening to the sounds of the jungle. Rain is frequent here but the thick canopy of trees helps to protect from it.

Class 1 - Character

Lazy Sloth

Dominant Trait: very lazy, spacing out in its own world
- always yawning and sluggish
- keeps talking about how it wants to go back to sleep a lot

Opposite Trait: Actually shows to be extremely perceptive and observant of its surroundings
- points out little details and makes clever observations
- holds onto scraps of information that it hears and doesn't forget; shows that it's listening very closely even to the passing comments

Complimentary Trait: Perfectionist, gets irked when things are unfinished or missing from where they should be.
- Always keeps fur orderly, has to fix it when there are hairs out of line

Lives in the jungle near a small town in Winkie Country, in the treetops. It has a set of branches that it very much likes and hangs around. It doesn't move much, just eats and listens and observes everyone and everything happening in its part of the jungle.

East: Inspired to see the supposed perfection of the pristine Emerald City. It wants to be somewhere that orderly and well put together.

South: Gathers a fine collection of exotic bugs that pass it by. It is very picky about its selection and only keeps one of each kind of bug. It will turnover the collection often, carefully inspecting each new bug that walks by and replacing the one it has based on its condition. It seems to prefer shiny bugs, missing parts like legs and antene are not appealing to it. It gathers information, it gathers everything it hears and does not give it up.

West: The Sloth views the world with a high level of objectivity, it sees a mess or a messy looking person and is quick to judge at least internally though it doesn't voice its opinion unless asked specifically. It judges the organization skills of a place and its people, it is irritated by inconsistency and impressed by efficency.

North: The sloth sees the hustle and bustle of the city, of everyone going about their lives and their ways. The city is filled with voices and information, too much for it to take in all at once. It wants to know what everyone is doing and it is frustrating when it can't.
