HPU: Exotic Acres OOC
Posted: Sun Feb 12, 2012 9:42 pm
Hey there and welcome to EXOTIC ACRES!!! A new, and very unique neighborhood, for anyone with a unique character. Before I get too much into details lets do some background. Lets start from the beginning…
Dennis was a large investor to many different companies. He had plenty of wealth, but he was missing something. The love and happiness that comes from children. He was on one of his business trips when he heard the soft cries of an animal coming from some nearby bushes. When he went over to them he found a small kitten whimpering and crying for its mother. After Dennis picked it up and quieted the kitten down. He was able to learn from the kitten that he fell out of the back of a truck and that he has now lost his mother and brother. That was Dennis’s first adoption the second came when he was on vacation. A very similar situation happened but this time it was a girl kitten that had watched her mother, get shot. Dennis adopted her as well; he found his happiness now. Now he just had to find somewhere to live.
Dennis and his pets, Speedy and Snowy, have had to move from city to city. There was nowhere they were accepted. It was for one reason only, Speedy is a cheetah and Snowy is a snow leopard. So they were not welcomed into normal neighborhoods. So with Dennis’s vast resources and riches he decided to make a town that accepted only exotic animals. 50 miles from the nearest city he created a beautiful place for people to bring and live with their exotic pets. He called it Exotic Acres!
Neighborhood Layout
There is 1 main road leading into the town, over that road as you enter is a sign reading, “Welcome to Exotic Acres! Home to the Amazing!” As you go farther down that road businesses start to appear. There are shopping centers, grocery stores, bars, restaurants, gyms, a small vet clinic, and a movie theater. About half way down the main street it splits two different ways. Then at the end of Main street there are two more turns. So the town is split into 4 different sections based on environment. North-East is Plains/Flatland, North-West is Mountains, South-West is Forest/Jungle, and South-East is desert. Most families will split into their respected pet's environments but you don't have to. The founder's house is on the line between the Forest, and Mountains. There are two parks; one that is more for the pets' enjoyment, the other more like a picnic or gathering area. Each section has two different houses; one larger with a few acres, the other average with one acre. It may sound like the town is huge by really the entire neighborhood fits into a few square miles.
Ok so now for this new place there is only one major restriction, NO NORMAL PETS! I am talking about pets like dogs, cats, rodents, rabbits, and birds. Only animals that would normally only live in zoos or the wild. here's a list of species that will be accepted here. (keep in mind which species are anthropomorphized in the Housepets! universe.) If you want to use a species not on the list, ask me about it in this thread. Also, there is a limit of two pets per person. Normal pet friendly character sheet.
(side note: Foxes and wolves are on the more common end of the exotic pet spectrum, and so are accepted as characters in other neighborhoods. I'd reccomend choosing a species you couldn't use anywhere else.)
Important NPCs:
Vet: Geoff, co-Owner of Jake and Joey. Playable by Hlaoroo (ask him before interacting with them.)
