Pluck

The Empire of Chicken formed in the power vacuum left by the farmer’s abrupt departure. Although they were just going to the market, the farmer has been gone for at least an hour (forever in chicken time), so may never return.

Originally uniting the six biggest coops on the farm, the Empire quickly fell to infighting. Some still claim to be the Empire of Chicken, while others declare the golden day of the Empire to be in the past. The Empire of Chicken wishes to capture the Barn, so that they can establish a Council of Chonkens and guard against the farmer’s potential return.

They are known for their battle cohesion and logistical prowess, able to move massive armies much faster than any other faction known to the farm.

It is rumored that the Free Rangers were the first Chicken Coop to declare independence from the farm, claiming neutrality. Mercenaries at heart, they are happy to do battle for whatever reason, especially if they can get an extra Nug on the side.

Constantly in pursuit of new opportunities, they yearn to explore the farm and one day journey beyond its bounds. The Free Rangers know that the resources in the Barn will enable them to venture into the outermost reaches of the farm and roam free into the great wide-open lands that lie beyond even their broad imagination.

They specialize in hit-and-run tactics and are uniquely suited for disrupting the power of Owls found in forests around the farm.

The Feathered Guard hunkered down to protect themselves when the last vestiges of the farmer’s presence began to crumble. They remain wary of the farm and have found ways to survive away from their coop for days on end.

They are constantly assessing the state of the farm and are watchful for the farmer’s return. Although they have made significant advancements in armor, also known as carrying a shield, they know the best protection would be to move their fortress from a Coop to the Barn, where they will be able to weather whatever threats may arise.

They continue to innovate new battlefield tactics, going so far as to even form shield walls when in large formations.

The Nug Deniers claim to have inherited rule directly from the farmer, but their documents look like chicken scratch to the other coops.

They have been known to exhibit fearsome displays of commitment, and value the accumulation of resources above all else. Grain, Eggs, Nugs, they want it all. They claim it is their destiny to reign over the farm and they will stop at nothing to seize control of the Barn’s stockpile of resources and start a new, Golden Grain Empire.

They are more close-knit than any other Coop and continue to provide for each other, even in the heat of battle when feathers are flying everywhere and animals are getting plucked left and right.

The Chonkenites care not for titles, grain, or territory. They simply enjoy the rush of battle, and the excitement of nearly getting plucked.

They have dedicated themselves to the art of plucking and wish for all to be chonkified so that they may serve as worthwhile adversaries. Knowing that the other Coops are gunning for the Barn, the Chonkenites have set their sights on it as well, hoping it will be the location of a grand battle royale.

They are the physically strongest Coop in the farm and won’t let you forget it. While some have accused them of relying on performance enhancing Nugs, they swear that they have only ever taken doctor prescribed antibiotics.

The Unplucked wish to reshape the farm in their image and are said to have a deeper understanding of the lay of the land than even the Owls that lurk in the Barn.

Shunned by the other Coops for practicing the dark arts, like horticulture, the Unplucked wish to replace the farmer as the stewards of the land. They know the Barn holds much more than mere grain and intend to use its resources to not only unpluck themselves, but to prevent themselves from ever getting plucked again.

They have no fear of plucking since they hold a secret stash of tape that they can use to reattach their feathers, rather than waiting for them to grow back.

The Organic Resistance is wishes to flip the traditional way of life in the farm on its head. Polar opposites to the Chonkenites, they believe that the mightiest Chonken can be plucked by a mere Chick.

They are committed to a complete overhaul of farm society, and aren’t afraid to send Chicks and Chickens claw to claw against Chonkens and even Top Chonks to further their cause. They plan to capture the barn to accelerate their plans for total re-farm-ation.

They are relentless and are known for always pecking a second time if the first time doesn’t work, whether they are digging for scraps or fighting foes.
