Okay, I decided to create The Savage World's own OOC thread...
At first, I was thinking of making "The Savage World" a simple short story that would be mostly a "wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am" type one
... but with the surprising amounts of replies (thank you, by the way.. I wasn't expecting more than 1 or none to be quite honest!), the idea has to change somewhat.
I liked PhoenixPrime's idea of small communities, like tribes and such with the loners - and the basic hand tools, weapons, etc. We would have to figure out who would play who/what, then - for those that are interesting. If you are interested, please reply to this thread with your character information and idea.

Character Synopsis for "The Savage World"
Dálkr Oakenshield was a combination "outsider" and tribesman, though he lived with the refugee community - but he kept himself away from the rest. Several rumors had swept his tribe of the Oakenfall people that Dálkr was actually the bloodline of a Möttull Äkerfeldt - a former high chief of the Ükenfol tribe that once ruled the lands when the people first began to emerge from underneath. The powerful tribe had since divided into hundreds - the Oakenfall people one of them.
This lineage gives Dálkr the power to assume the role as high chief and to consummate a union between another tribe through marriage. Dálkr was still fairly young, roughly 27 years in age. Standing at 6'2" in height and defined in physique. Grey-looking eyes and black hair that reached just past the neck. A simple loincloth covered his privates, though very poorly; he is often seen carrying a spear and type of shield he managed to craft from a strong oak tree that lined the thick forests before lightning struck it into pieces. The shield and spear is believed to be powered by the gods, casting their might (the lightning) onto the tree.
