Housepets!

Um, is there a reference list for moderators? I have a lot of questions to ask since I'm confused by the huge quantity of rules and regulations. Sorry, I just don't want to make any mistakes. This is my first time trying out RP online.

If you have questions specifically about the RP section of the forums, the mods here are Esper, RockstarRaccoon, and Tha Housefox. Their names are at the top of every page. Any other questions can be posted in the Ask a Moderator thread. Here's a list of the regular mods, the global mods and the admin team. I'd suggest you go to the regular mods first or the Ask a Moderator thread first and if they can't help then move your way up the ranks.
Hope this helps.

Welcome to the forums, by the way.

Thanks. I'm very eager to start doing rp.

Name: Elliot Gilgan

Character Type: Main

Species: Black-Backed Jackal

Age:15 Pet Years

Neighborhood: Richmond Acres

Appearance: Black-Backed Jackal who dyed his fur Gray. He has red eyes and has a skinny physique. He wears a Brown collar that has pendant locket shaped like a 9 with a picture of his older Twin Faust. He also wears a long red scarf and has combed head fur. He carries a pouch with strings and a few needles

Personality: Very Grateful. He is very friendly with everyone he meets and very trusting. He is quite sensitive and admires nature and beautiful scenery. He hates fighting and does his best not to argue with everyone. He also very impulsive. Although he likes making friends, he is also shy and tends to keep to himself when he finds something interesting. He is very enthusiastic when it comes to playing sport but he tends to overexert himself when he gets overexcited. Because of this, Faust often has to step in and watch Elliot's pace due to health concerns. Also, Elliot is playful with words. He is also a little naughty and sneaky. Sometimes when Faust isn't looking, Elliot would steal sweets from the snack storage in the house.

Background: Elliot and his older twin Faust we're adopted by travelling artist. They would often travel the world and be exposed to different kinds of cultures. During one of their travels, Elliot was diagnosed with cancer and went through extensive surgery and therapy. After surviving his cancer, their owner decided that it was time to settle down and let Elliot and Faust enjoy a nice and peaceful home and travel less to let Elliot recover.

Other notes:
-Plays the Lyre
-Scared of Thunder
-Incredibly emotional when it comes to dramatic movies
-Quite a sucker for sweets
-Loves to climb high places and stargazing
-Like to paint and doodle
-He likes to sew and he sometimes makes exotic string instruments out of nature.
-He ties Aeolian Harp strings on pretty much anything to confuse Faust on where he is during hide and seek.

Name: Faust Gilgan

Character Type: Main

Age: 15 Pet Years

Species: Side Striped Jackal

Appearance: His fur is dyed a slight red orange. He has blue eyes and a slim yet muscular build. He wears a black collar with a 6 pendant locket with a picture of his younger twin Elliot. He wears a blue short scarf and has scruffy head fur. He keeps a small rucksack on his back with medicine in case Elliot gets sick or injured. He also keeps a little telescope in his rucksack.

Personality: He is often serious and is always cautious. Faust however is very daring when it comes to trying out new things. He's very brave to the point of even trying out disgusting looking exotic food. He is very self conscious and always tries to be the best brother Elliot would ever have. He's always hard on himself and always think of Elliot as his reason to be a better person. Unlike Elliot, Faust always gets straight to the point. He does enjoy playing word games with Elliot but sometimes he gets confused with what his brother tries to say by over-complicating things. He is also quite the worrier. He's not worried about himself though. He does get quite scared if anything threatens Elliot.

Background: Faust and Elliot are like the best brothers in the whole world. They are extremely close and would always do stuff together. Ever since Elliot was diagnosed with cancer, Faust never left him alone no matter what the circumstance was. He was always there for Elliot and always does his best to keep Elliot happy. He evens takes courage for whenever Elliot is frightened and makes sure that any sense of fear and doubt are swept away from Elliot's mind. Faust also often reflects about their life in Kenya before meeting their owner. He remembers a tragedy that befell the twin's and their family.

Other Notes:
-Plays with bongo drums
-Very shy when it comes to talking to girls
-Only trusts people he is close too, especially Elliot
-He also enjoys reading and music but he also likes to dance
-Likes to swim
-Likes to cook
-He always carries a telescope because Elliot always plays hide and seek with him.

Extra notes about the two:

- Both pets have good exposure to Music, Art, Dance and Literature.
- Elliot and Faust spent most of their travels in Ireland.
- These two secretly enjoy doing kids stuff without people knowing like watching Disney movies or playing board games.
- They also learned basic survival skills and location skills during their travels.
- Before Elliot and Faust met their owner, they were orphans from Kenya, Africa. They just happen to met their owner while he was on a tour in Africa.

A better answer to this question would be to look at the top of the page, below the section title. That will give you the list of mods WITHIN the RP forum, who CAN answer your questions, as opposed to the globals, who may not know the answer.

As for the character sheet you posted: Think a bit more into the kind of character you want to play, try and make it more like a real person, and expand the personality bits to encompass the various quirks he has, 'cause they're pretty vague and simple right now.

University internet is actually very fast and very high bandwidth, the only reason it seems slow is there are students on, and they need to constantly reroute connections. I've never heard of anyone buying their own internet when they had it from a University...

Thanks for the advice. I'll try experimenting then.

Thanks for that info. Now, I'll have to come up with something new.

Oh, you can still have a bird. I have a bird, Cedric, a seagull, in 17th Century Fox. They play just like normal characters, only they're still bird-shaped and they have wings instead of hands. So in that sense they are somewhat limited but they're still fun. It's up to you though.

I'll just roll with the Falcon. Let's see how he does in Exotic Acres. I just feel like I'm missing something with his character.

Ummm.....Does any one know where Hypernovatic went? I'm in three rp groups with Hyper, and I guess I'm just a little worried to see all his characters dropped?

yeah I was wondering about that , maybe one of us should try PM him ?

Hyper is a guy? I didn't know that.
I don't know where he went. He just disappeared.
Lets all PM him

I was wondering that too, Crystal.
That's a good idea, serence/Neon.

nah nah nah only 1 of us should do it , too many people at once could make him/her/I don't know feel uncomfortable

Yeah. I'm one of the GMs of a roleplay she plays, so I think I shouldn't be bothering her/him.
He/she might not come back.
jk, I'll do it.

You're probably best for it then, Neon, given that you are a GM. We'll leave it in your capable hands/paws.

I shall reign punishment like NEVER BEFORE!
MWAHAHAHAHA

suddenly the moon base crashing thing make so much sense ^^"

You read that?
That's awesome.
Wait, are you apart of my RP?

nah I'm not , just looking in and out

Slots are still open,
and will remain open until I think we have enough.
and we don't have enough. EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO JOIN!

What's your RP?

Apollo City.
It takes place in a future where the animal kingdom was almost wiped out.
So humans designed a program to create androids that emulate actual animals.
You can read more about it in the Apollo City OOC.
Link should be on the page before.
Also, Russia was taken over by the mafia.

I just want to inform you that I might not be able to log in for a few days, counting from today, due to a long maintenance from my provider. whatever internet I'll have for that time will be the one I'll be able to snatch from my neighbours. Thanks in advance and sorry if I will keep you waiting.

Hey guys! I have an announcement that RandomGeekNamedBrent may be unavailable for a short while because he can't access the forums. So... Yeah.

I do believe Apollo City is Pet Friendly, even though it took some characteristics of ARGO.
Should it be listed here?

Copper gave me a link to a free proxy service and it bypassed the problem. now I just need to catch up on all of the forums

That seems interesting, I think I'll join in.

I'll check it out. Apollo city seems interesting.

If you want, you can post your character sheets here, but I also take sign ups on the OOC.

As a result of computer issues, xhunterko will be unavailable till further notice.

Valerio, please set aside xhunterko's characters in your game.

RandomGeekNamedBrent, are you able to fill in as GM in xhunterko's absence?

I'm extremely sorry for disappearing all of a sudden, but I'm BACK!! I'll post in the Rp's as soon as possible. Man, IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK!!! *tackles everyone* Oh! And I won't be on as much as I used to be due to marching band.

Welcome back! *glomp!*

Sweet, that keeps me from doing it. *shot*

Do you RP, Dissention? I think it'd be fun if you did.
