I wouldn't think soda would do that..

@Bolly
If you can go on IRC frequently (our channel is #BsM) and can keep up with the posting rate then you have my approval. The idea is actually rather interesting, but there will be drawbacks as all the pets are child-like except for the wild animals. SO your character will probably seem strange around the other residents, but i think it'll be fine.

Whereas Beta in RG is slightly different from me, I want my character in this RP to pretty much represent myself. I don't want him to be a pet as such, but I don't want him to be wild, either. A bit like Miles in the actual comic. I want him to live with an 'owner', but not as a pet. I want him to wear his chain and pendant instead of a collar, and I want him to be more like a human adult in his behaviour.

Will this all be okay to do?

I'm not sure about this.

See, joining as you generally defeats the purpose of roleplaying, which is to play as someone, a character, that you are not. It's... a lot like method acting, up to a point. There's also the fact that, since this character will be so close to you, that actions of the people consider to be "just characters" may come off as more personal to you. There's also the temptation of...well, making yourself more powerful or godlike...it just happens, as everyone wants to make themselves the best they can be. Playing as yourself leaves too much room for error...

To further that, I'm not sure how well his personality would mesh with all the others as a human adult.

My two bits. I'm going to say no. Sorry.

Eh, not necessarily. He's talking about introducing something like Miles. Bolly would be an adult like Miles, living in a house. He'd be interacting with other "adult" characters like Matt, Jack, and Johnny, who would probably think it was cool to have a wolf for a neighbor. He'd also interact with pets though, which would be like when Rikki interacts with pets: he'd be more like a playful animal.

(I'd like to note that he's calling it his "fursona", which means his attachment to the character and the fact that it's probably used alot outside of ths RP means possible problems.)

This is what I mean. If he's your "fursona", you have a character you've been using to represent yourself for a long time. If Kytes was DarkHearts' "Fursona", how do you think the whole "I'm gonna make you eat dirt!" thing would have made him feel? (even though we agreed on it before hand)
Like I said though, about the human adults, I don't think it'd be a big deal... (especially when this isn't RV, lawl)

Sorry, the future don't look to bright for Bolly. Perhaps you should go try OT?

He already has a character in RG and OT.

If it had remained outdoors, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but indoors, it jumped straight into the trashcan, starting a small fire. Black smoke started to rise from the trash can, but there was no smoke detector in the room (that's why the charcoal grill didn't set it off), and so there was no alarm.
A fire was now growing in the trashcan, unseen.

And this is why you never take a grill inside or leave it unattended.

Okay, I now wish to join using a character based on my character from OT. Here's a link to his character sheet. He would bring an interesting species mix to BsM, and hopefully a fairly interesting personality as well. I have some experience with roleplaying now, and I will be able to keep up with the posting rate.

Is this breeding possible? It sounds really weird.
Are you sure you want to "base" it off of another character? The best part about Rikki, Taku, and Sid is that they're so different that they all do different things.
Could you get on IRC? (Preferably when I'm around in the afternoon)

When I said 'base him off', I meant the species and his appearance, not his personality. And yes, I'm on IRC now.

Just a note about Kylie and her family...
Her family isn't "gone", they're dead, but Kylie has no proof either way, so she chose to believe the happier idea that they're still alive. She knows on some mental level that they died, but refuses to believe it
