Still hunting for Piper. Paul is at the silos treating attack victims there. Buddy the police Beagle gave Lucky some gloves to put on and is waiting for him to show him around the shop to see if he can see anything else out of place since Lucky knows the shop so well. Charles and Flukely and Tesla are making drones, Nadia and Kilo are en route to the shop and Flynn, Chip, Ryyn, and Senka are talking and working out where to search next. Leslie is eating icecream and Phil and Kandi are having coffee.

so who's gonna be in charge of this minor character Senka is getting in contact with ?
edit : never mind!Roarin wrote:Senka let out a soft, "Hah..." at the word 'beg' but nodded regardless. "Sure thing. I can talk to lady cop dog again and see what I can dig up. You guys... don't do anything stupid while I'm gone." And with a wave she began walk back over the crime scene.
But first... Reaching down her vest the mountain lion took hold of the walkie-talkie strapped to the side, pausing as she reached the yellow crime scene tapes. *click beep* "Ranger Rick. Ranger Rick do you read me? You're supposed to be on duty today right? That was your excuse for not coming camping... Or something like that..."

Re: HPU:Richmond Acres OOC
Hello all! I was wondering if I could join with these two?
So how's that? Any problems to iron out?
CyberDragon wrote:Character Name: Deus
Color: This
Type: secondary
Species/Breed: Grizzly Bear
Age: 7 human years, 24.5 pet years
Neighbourhood: Richmond Acres
Appearance: Deus is a massive, bulky, 1200 pound Grizzly bear. He is monochrome brown in color. He has a bit of a wild look to him having lived his life in the forest with his best friend, a mouse named Flash. Under his fur, he has a number of scars from his rough life. His eyes are brown. Some scars, particularly on his face, are significant enough to be visible, including what looks like a gunshot wound in the middle of his forehead.
Personality: Deus is very quiet, speaking in a minimalistic manner. Mostly he uses grunts and growls to state his approval or disapproval of a statement or situation. When he does speak, it’s in short sentences that tend to leave out words. This is not for a lack of intelligence, it’s just that he was shot in the head a few years ago. The bullet didn't pierce his skull, but without medical attention, the concussion caused permanent damage to his brain, limiting his speaking ability. While he’s normally fairly docile, he will fly into a rage against anyone who threatens or hurts his little mouse friend. Deus acts as the “straight man” to Flash’s antics.
Other notes: Deus has been friends with Flash for both of their entire lives. Neither knew their family or where they are, and so they kind of adopted each other. Other feral animals were harsh toward Deus because of this friendship, and he has had aggressive encounters with predators who were hunting Flash. One thing is for sure: Where Flash is, Deus isn't far away.
S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats:
- Strength: 10
- Perception: 7
- Endurance: 9
- Charisma: 3
- Intelligence: 7
- Agility: 2
- Luck: 4
The two obviously live together. I was thinking somewhere in area 40 for now, though Flash might come up with a plan to integrate into society a little better.CyberDragon wrote:Character Name: Flash
Color: This
Type: main
Species/Breed: mouse
Age: 7 human years, 49 pet years
Neighbourhood: Richmond Acres
Appearance: Flash is a white mouse with an odd black pattern on his back that crisscrosses his back that looks a little like a real lightning bolt (as opposed to the cartoon zig-zag lightning bolt). He is a bit of a runt, being a little small even for a mouse. He has a small piece of his ear missing, and a small scar on his face close to his nose. His eyes are green.
Personality: Flash is much more social and charismatic than his counterpart. While the two are about the same in intelligence, Flash is much more curious and experimental. He is often the one who comes up with schemes and plans for the two of them. These plans normally are to get food and supplies. Not all of them go well, and so Flash is the one who normally gets into trouble. Deus gets him out of it. Flash doesn’t like to think he is using Deus, but having a giant bear for a friend/protector has made him a bit reckless.
Other notes: Flash and Deus have been friends for their entire lives. Neither really knew their families or what happened to them. They found each other at a very young age and have been taking care of each other ever since. Being so small, Flash knew he couldn’t rely on his strength. Instead, when he came across a problem, he would run. Eventually, he ran so much and so hard, he pushed his speed and maneuverability to the point where he could easily outrun some larger animals.
S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats:
- Strength: 4/2 = 2 (“I’m too little…”)
- Perception: 5 (“I can hear, you know…”)
- Endurance: 8/2 = 4 (“Don’t need to run far. Just need to get to shelter!”)
- Charisma: 5 (“Wanna hear a joke? Hey! Where are you going?”)
- Intelligence: 5 (“I come up with plans, but don’t expect calculus.”)
- Agility: 10 (“I’m running circles around you!”)
- Luck: 5 (“I don’t need luck, but it’s nice to have it sometimes.”)
So how's that? Any problems to iron out?

Re: HPU:Richmond Acres OOC
Well I like the characters and I love the juxtaposition of the big and small animals.
I'm just not sure that a bear would be well received in a town like Richmond Acres. They were wary enough of a mountain lion and are still careful around her even when she's wearing her ranger vest.
That aside it would be a bit awkward for pets to hang out with a creature the size of a bear because he wouldn't fit into their houses or other buildings.
If you were to use the same characters but replace Deus with a different species then that could work though. What do you think?

Re: HPU:Richmond Acres OOC
I don't really know how much I can change the character without altering a lot of the story arcs I had thought up of. The intrigue of the characters is the alliance of two opposite extremes that normally wouldn't go together. Deus isn't supposed to be just big and strong, he's supposed to be VERY big and strong. Flash isn't just small and fast, he's a mouse runt that is very fast and acrobatic. I guess I can make Deus a smaller species like maybe a black bear or a smaller brown bear, but he'd have to still at least be some kind of large megafauna for the two extremes to work. I don't know if there is any megafauna that wouldn't have the same problems. At least not without loosing the effect of the extreme. Do you have any suggestions?
Anyway, it could be an interesting story seeing what they do to get accepted by the town.

Re: HPU:Richmond Acres OOC
Well the first thing that comes to mind is another mountain lion. A love interest for Senka (our current mountain lioness) maybe.
That has the advantage of the cat and mouse juxtaposition too.

Re: HPU:Richmond Acres OOC
I considered that, but I don't think that would work as well. For one thing, mountain lions seem to be known more for agility than strength. I don't think Deus's stats would fit a mountain lion's build, and speed is Flash's specialty. If I change his stats to add to agility, I have to take the points from somewhere else, and that would potentially change his entire character. Also, his character requires that he be imposing enough that he can either intimidate or fight off any predator that attacks Flash, and if he's a mountain lion, he might be too small to justify surviving constant fights with other predators, some of which would be other mountain lions.
Anyway, I actually don't think him being a bear is quite as much of a problem as you would (understandably) think. He's really quiet and doesn't like to interact with others, so most pet interactions would be with Flash anyway. Deus mostly shows up whenever Flash gets into trouble. I understand what you are saying, but I already considered this when making the two. It's one of the reasons Flash is the personality. He can interact with the others while Deus just lurks in the nearby woods until he's needed by someone, usually his mouse friend.
It's your choice as to whether or not to accept these guys. I'm willing to deal with the complications of Deus's species as they come. In fact, I welcome them. It'll be interesting to see the two prove themselves to the town. Worst case scenario, Deus stays in the outskirts whenever Flash goes to town and interacts with people there. I don't want to sound too argumentative, but I... really didn't make the character flexible enough.

Re: HPU:Richmond Acres OOC
Hehehehehe. Nice one, Roarin!
Cyber, my worry is not just that Deus would struggle to fit with the pets, but that since his charisma is low and since he's living on the outskirts of town he might be difficult to write for/play. Do you have any ideas how you might combat that?
One idea I have is that Deus could be used as a minor/secondary character instead of a main. That way he can be used from time to time but wouldn't necessarily need to be in the frame the whole time. That would open up a slot for a second main character for you too, that might be more usable than Deus.
What do you think?

Re: HPU:Richmond Acres OOC
That's a good idea. Deus can be a secondary character. I only made him a main because he's supposed to be nearby wherever Flash is, but he can be out of sight/out of mind while still being accessible to anyone who needs him. I'll make him secondary.
Done. So can I join?

Re: HPU:Richmond Acres OOC
Do you want to make a second main character first or do you want to join with these two and make the second main character later?
Either way you can certainly start with those two. I had been planning to open up a slot or two in RA anyway.
