I thought I would give this a go:
Name
Matthew

Gender
Male

Species
Dog (Border Collie)

Age
5 human years (17 "Housepets" years)

Gang
None

Appearance
Matt is fully grown and is average height among dogs. He is mostly black, but his stomach/chest is white. He also has a white stripe that starts between his brows and runs down his face and neck, merging into his white chest. Unlike most Border Collies, his paws and arms are also black, not white. His fur is medium length and soft, not scruffy. His ears are usually floppy, but occaisionally erect. He is of a lean, healthy build. His eyes are a deep blue, as is his collar. From his collar hangs a circular gold-colored dog tag, upon which an "M" is engraved.

Personality
Matt is a very quiet person. He is somewhat introverted and is very shy when meeting new people. He would prefer to be alone than to be in a large group of people, but would also prefer being with a small group of close friends over solitude. He is very friendly, albeit not being very talkative. He is also incredibly intelligent. He has very few strong views of his own, and is open to any new views or suggestions (that make logical sense, of course). Most of his time is spent either on his computer or with his friends.

Other Info
-To the envy of the other pets, Matthew has his own computer
-He spends most of his time with his "sister," Rachel
-He has played the violin since he was a pup, and is a somewhat popular local player
-He was inspired to pick up the instrument by his "sister," who plays the cello
-He prefers to be called Matthew, but most of his friends continue to call him Matt
-He was the only surviving pup from his litter
-He is a huge fan of the webcomic "Housepets!"
-Oh, yes, I forgot to add that he is a talented chef, as well =P

Name
Rachel

Gender
Female

Species
Dog (Newfoundland)

Age
5 human years (19 "Housepets" years)

Gang
None

Appearance
Rachel is entirely black, and is very tall among animals. Her paws are very large, and her claws are clipped extremely short. She is long-haired and has floppy ears. Her fur is a little curly. Do not be deceived by her thin, feminine build- she is actually incredibly strong. Her eyes are a chocolate brown, and her collar is a dark red. The ID tag she wears is also gold-colored and is in the shape of a viol. While some people say she commonly wears a blank, oblivious expression, others believe that when she looks at people she sees directly into their soul.

Personality
Rachel is very polite, and incredibly loyal to her friends. She is rather talkative, and loves meeting new people. Despite these traits, though, she tends to stay inside her house often. She is very lazy, but will instantly do anything that she sees must be done. She is also very perceptive, often knowing what situations other people are getting into and preparing a solution ahead of time. She spends much of her time either playing the cello or being with Matthew.

Other Info
-She thinks she loves Matt, but realizes that he only sees her as a friend at the moment
-She adores the cello, and is a professional level player. She plays gigs for the town frequently, and in the words of one local critic, "will revolutionize the way we think of the instrument."
-She plays everything from standard classical reptoir to Metallica covers on an electric cello
-She also loves to play duets with Matthew
-She also plays the piano. She is self taught and is an excellent player, but does not perform on the instrument in public. No one knows why.
-Rachel is one of the best swimmers in the town. She has saved her parent's from drowning on multiple occasions.

SPECIAL

Strength - 10

MATTHEW AND RACHEL'S RELATIONSHIP
Matthew and Rachel are excellent friends and are almost always seen together. They practice their instruments together frequently. Some people, seeing how frequently they are together, believe they are more that "just friends." Matthew would disagree with this view, as would Rachel, but Rachel hopes that they someday might become more than "just friends."

Well, what can be bad about it? The description is simple and clear, everybody can imagine him now. The personality is going to be understood by all people who read it, and it's simple (And that's always good). The only thing you didn't mention is why he's pushing and lifting all the time, but I don't know- maybe you plan to reveal it in the RP itself.

I just assumed by pushing and lifting he meant any boxes he may find, and whatever is inside them.

I can picture it now, a house full of boxes, stacked from the floor to the ceiling forming a mystical brown fortress. Box walls, box roofs, a box draw bridge between the kitchen and the den. Little box peasants working in the carpet fields of the den, little box cows grazing in their box pen. This is truly what a box fort should be.

I have a few questions.
What is the time of day/weather currently?
is there a map to where everything is?

Ah, yes. Right now, dusk is approaching. And where's that map I made...

Ah, here it is.

Thanks Buckdida.
Now i can post knowing just about everything.

Hm... Misingo, I know it was my idea to name your second character Sara, but to my own fail, I just discovered that there is already a character named Sara in the RP.... Although she's a human, and I don't know when she appeared the last time.

So I don't know, if it bothers you to share the same name with another character, then change her name until it's too late (before you join the RP).

Is it possible to join as a human?

I wanna be special and unique. :[

Yes you can, i have two humans in the rp..

Awesome.

I will do that... later!

If noone minds me asking, What's currently happening?

Okay, guys, since there's a lot of newcomers, I've decided to do a character guide. Here is a list of all characters with their name, species, age, gender (if specified) and SPECIAL.



















































Somebody should do an arc list like Buckdida did on page 4 of this thread, but his is outdated of course. It has to be somebody who sticked with the RP the whole time.

Is that an oblique dare to have me redo the arc list?

Darn you. I'll get on it again. But this time I'm leaving out main characters. Unhealthy competition, I think. This RP is about having fun and building a story...

Um...buckdida you do know Pyxis is a cat?

At the signpost up ahead, the RP has just entered the Twilight Zone...

Buckdida FAIL!

Hahahaha! I'll fix that!

Wait, did someone just get shot?

Seriously? I'm kinda confused, and please...nobody die. I really don't think we should have any violent death in this RP; it only serves as a downer. Surely we can be more creative than that...

Anyway, I'm going to make those shotguns (if there were shotguns...how you worded your post was very confusing at that point) to tranq/taser shottys. Non-lethal.

They were shotgun blasts... Left it open as to if they hit or missed anyone.

An remember, Police do have a Non-lethal shotgun round, they fire small a small bean bag.

Lots of knockdown power, but no pentration. just leaves a bruise.

Any "non-lethal" weapon has a chance to kill someone. It's just much smaller than, say, a bullet.

Anyway, I said I'm going to make the shotguns non-lethal by making them taser shotguns. They still go boom, they still knock people down, but they don't kill anyone.

The roleplay seems to be getting a bit darker. But I'm glad more people are joining. xD

i think its because of the feral pack, i think once this is out of the way it's going to go back to a less "dark" tone.

Yeah, the feral pack thing is dark, so I can't wait for it to end.

I wouldn't say the RP is going dark, as is just being realistic..

Also would like to see someone take grif as a full time character, instead of him being used by anyone.. so the other characters an interact with him, an he responds consistancely.

would also allow for the creation of a full time feral pack storyline.

I'm pretty sure Pyxis already cut him down, though its my fault I didn't make it clear which dog I cut down.
Next time I'll just OOC if I don't know them in RP yet.

There, fixed.

Ungh, no, if we want realistic, I'll create a different RP; I think I can speak for most when I say this is as dark as it's going to get. Venison's shock knife was pushing it, I know, but guns? No, no, no!

If you look at the OP, the RP was supposed to be lighthearted and about pets getting into silly things. After this arc, we go back to normal, and far away from this...at least for a while. We need a break from this stuff. What if Rick kept going on with the romance arc? It's already been a month, and it's time to move on. After this arc is done, let's do one with less drama in it.

By that extension, Grif should remain uncontrolled. He is, after all, an unpredictable wild animal, is he not? The feral pack will come back when it needs too; after all, Venison sent them deep in the woods and knows where they are.

Storylines ebb and flow, characters come and go, dark and light mix and fight...
That's how pet friendly is supposed to work; role with it.

(and yes, I misspelled "roll" on purpose.)

You guys, I've been thinking, now with Brittles (sadly) gone, we need another coffee shop owner or something in the RP, you know, where pets can get together or something. We can't use The Wall because there is no service, right?

So I strongly suggest to one of our newcomers who still hasn't decided what part his pets will play into the roleplay to become owners of a new cafe or something....... Maybe I'm taking this too seriously?

No, Espresso and gang were still sleeping, and Jake was out doing something. The Wall is still there, and Jake is an NPC. The Wall will continue as per normal, and once our story becomes normal once more, the others just may return...We can't just up and kick Brittles out of the RP, nor any character for that matter!

Why am I reminded of "The Lorax"?

Do I need to remind you of the short 2 line poem that I put in my last post?

Characters come and go.

And then... "What has happened once will never happen again; what has happened twice will surely happen a third time." -The Alchemist. Brittles has returned twice, so he will return again.

For the others, well, we can only hope.

Sorry if you took it the wrong way, I never intended to just kick Brittles out of the RP, but I misunderstood something about The Wall, but it's all cleared for me now. Sorry.

Only if you want to, really; I'll think you'll have fun.







YES-YES-YES-YES-YES-YES-YES-YES-YES!

Why not? Have you asked yourself "Why shouldn't I join the RP?" If you haven't, ask yourself, and if you can't answer to yourself, then join.

You'll probably ask why you should join the RP? Well, it is fun. Period.

Translation: Yes.

So, Keeshah, does your last post in In-Character mean that the arc is finally over, and that it's morning? Dang, my cats should wake up.... but I gtg to school now .

I think we should allow the other characters some quick cleanup as well, that's what I'm doing...

Yes the arc is ending.. too many people were complaining about it.
personally, i was ready to introduce my own feral character. oh well..


Altho it was whats going to happen in the morning type of post.. so if you still have unfinished business in the woods, you can finish that off.

now were are going to have the {worried, annoyed) parents picking up their pets, an the pets complaining about how unfair there parents are in grounding them an all..

heh, i think Octavian got out of there with Minimal trouble considering.


i got bored so i made this, whoo! Octavian's dad! (may change it around a bit)
