This is the combined account of Coldstrype the Scythe, CopperJaw, and Steeltooth Slicewind. As you may know, we keep talking about this fanfiction known as Opposite Spectrum. Well, it's still in operation and all plotlines are completed. We can now start on the writing stage. We do have things regarding our fanfic that may concern you, however.

About the Books

A later time period:

Yes, this is a Redwall in the future fanfiction, based on Renaissance times as our reference. Gunpowder has been invented, but it is still experimental and is not used to large scale as of now. Crossbows and plate armor are much more popular than they would be in an actual Brian Jacques Redwall novel. Exploration has been popularized and has uncovered some new species that also would not be in a Redwall book. For example: Raccoons, Jackals, Jackrabbits, Prairie Dogs(in a brief scene)and some extra scary wolves (We know some of you may know who one of them is).

Some events that have happened that you need to know about if you want to read the story:

There was a very large vermin invasion on Bowlaynee that happened before the first part of Opposite Spectrum. Lord Goldcrown the Partisan, Coldstrype's father, sent Long Patrol hares to help subdue the invaders. But, after the invasion, some Long Patrollers, including Caruthers, decided to stay at Bowlaynee because they got married there and had some families. This caused some of the offspring, such as Caruthers and his wife's children, CopperJaw and Skelva to have a british accent instead of a Scottish one. That pretty much explains why certain things are how they are.

The reason why CopperJaw, Caruthers, Ironbuck, Skelva, and Skarklin all live at Salamandastron now is because there was another attack on Bowlaynee. CopperJaw, Ironbuck, and Skelva were sent to Salamandastron before the attack at a young age and cannot remember most of it. Caruthers and Skarklin go to Salamandastron once the invasion is over because Caruthers needs to recover from the grief of his wife's death.

The main villains of part one, the Black Market, mostly wear plague masks because the entire first story takes place in the aftermath of the Island Plague, a horrible disease equivalent to the Black Plague or Scrofula. This explains the Plague masks that Luchesi(Louie) and his followers wear. The Black Market capital is on Venchezco's(the leader)private factory island that is uncharted by most maps. The Black Market has also taken over Sampetra.

Book One: The Island Voyage

Characters:

We will add characters to the list as they are mentioned or appear in the story.

Main Heroes of The Island Voyage:

Ejaxk von Aron Marrillion Eixes Knifeflight: Ejaxk is a fox who is related to some of the most evil foxes, but ironically finds himself with the good guys. He comes from Yoruto Island, A fictional Redwall version of Japan. He carries many weapons and only carries certain ones at certain times, so you might be better off seeing his userpage to learn more about him.

CopperJaw Gauge Marillion: CopperJaw is a hare of the Long Patrol, serving under Lord Coldstrype the Scythe. He is a Sergeant at the time, but also a singer, mandolin player, and acrobat. CopperJaw is a very fun-loving hare and a natural performer, but he has a serious side in battle. He carries an axe, twin sabres, a knife, and a longbow, but since he cannot carry all of them at once, he only uses some of them in certain situations.

Skelva Marillion: She is CopperJaw's twin sister. Even though they are twins, CopperJaw and Skelva are nothing alike for the most part in their appearance and personality. Skelva is very serious and does not tolerate funny business, especially funny business from Skulded Dethblo the raccoon. She is academically smart, while CopperJaw is wiseguy smart. Skelva carries a Dussage (a form of shortened saber with a basket hilt), several small daggers (some concealed), and a swordbreaker.

Lord Coldstrype the Scythe: The current Badger Lord at Salamandastron. He is new to being the lord in The Island Voyage, but he tries to do a very good job. He is very fair, trustworthy, and mentally and physically strong. His name comes from the fact that he has ice-colored (extremely light blue) stripes, and he is a very distant descendant of Bluestripe the Wild. He carries a scythe and a crossbow.

Main Villains:

Venchezco de Martisani: The main villain in part one. He is a fox that rules over the Black Market, buying and selling goods illegally. He will do anything to make a profit, including some things that may sicken you...

Luchesi(Louie)Markachino: Nobody knows what species Louie is. His entire body is always covered up with a trench coat, a hat on his head, and a plague mask on his face. His arm was cut off from the hand to halfway to the elbow and has been replaced by a broadsword blade. Louie is Venchezco's right hand man, and he gets the money from those who owe money to the Black Market, often by harassing them.

Barbanto Fuchelli: If I could describe Barbanto, I must say that he is a BIG JERK. He will harass our heroes very much. He is Louie's nephew, and completely idolizes his uncle and Venchezco, never wanting to fail them. Nobody knows what species Louie and Barbanto are.

Supporting Cast:

Heroes:

Skulded Dethblo: He is an obnoxious raccoon emperor who likes to crack jokes. He sometimes tends to act very childish at times in order to make people laugh. How his people take him seriously, nobody knows, but they do. He often likes to be obnoxious toward Skelva because she cannot stand him and his ridiculous hijinks. Skulded is armed with tomatoes covered in glass shards and he also carries fake metal carrots that are sharpened to a point.

Lieutenant Caruthers Marillion: The father of CopperJaw and Skelva. He is the Laird of Bowlaynee, and also the historian of Salamandastron. He is getting old, and he is trying to decide who his heir will be.

Skarklin of Bowlaynee: The loyal friend of Caruthers. He, Caruthers, and Ironbuck make much more of an appearance in parts two and three of Opposite Spectrum.

Ironbuck Marillion: The nephew of Caruthers, and the cousin of CopperJaw and Skelva. He has been recently promoted to Brigadier General of the Long Patrol. His face is severely scarred and disfigured from being burned by vermin, so he wears a party mask to cover it up. Like Skarklin, he is a full Bowlaynee hare, so he has the Scottish accent.

Richard: A dormouse, friend of CopperJaw, Ejaxk, and Skelva. He is timid and often nervous, and he can be scared easily. He is quiet and polite amongst everyone, even the obnoxious Skulded.

==Villains:

Naakka: A Jackdaw who advises Louie and spies for him. He will prove to be a real pest to our heroes.
