Oh, no! you forgot the luck stat! Make sure you go back and factor that in...cool chars, BTW.

Fixed, and thank you.

Bah, got lazy, sorry. I'll post when I get my beauty sleep.

Okay...I just joined, and this looks interesting! Hope I'm not too late...xP Is it okay that I have a raccoon as a character? A friend of mine had pet raccoons when she was little.

Name: Magnus (family name)Nelson

Species: Dog (great dane)

Age: 21 years

Gang: none, currently

Appearance: Colored grey on back and white on stomach/underside, with black speckles. The speckles are more prominent on his back. He has long, floppy ears and chopped-short tail. He's also TALL. Very tall. He is a great dane, after all. He's also broad shouldered. Wears a silver chain collar with no special ornamentation/tags. (Most anybody can recognize him, even from a long distance)

Personality: He enjoys being part of the 'action' but is sometimes very slow to understand things. (ex: You tell him a joke, he doesn't get it for a while) Is easily bossed around/is very gullable. He trusts everyone. He isn't lazy in the least bit.

Other Notes:
- lumbers about like a bear. He's very clumsy.
- His philosphy: Why go around when you can go through. (Meaning: he just pushes his way through everything, makes his own 'door')
- Is like a side-kick to (my other character) Pavelle, the raccoon.

Special:
Strength - 10 (of course)
Perception - 5
Endurance - 8
Charisma - 6
Intelligence - 3
Agility - 3
Luck - 5

Another character coming...I have to eat. I may have to post this later, like tomorrow, even. Sorry. By the way, my character, Pavelle, is a raccoon. I hope that's okay!

Okay, here's Pavelle, the raccoon...

Name: Pavelle Nelson

Species: Common Raccoon

Age: 14 years (in Housepets years)

Gang: none

Appearance: Dark grey think fur with black 'hands' and 'feet', white and black striped tail, and black band across her eyes. She's small, and petite. To tell the truth, she looks pretty much like a raccoon. She wears a standard black collar with a small glass ruby hanging from it in the front.

Personality: She's talkative and likes hearing people's(pet's) secrets, especially if they concern 'loot' or 'buried treasure'. She's always imagining adventures in which she finds beautiful riches. (You can tell she likes treasure) She's not exactly bossy, but likes to have her opinion heard loud and clear. Deep down, though you may not see it, she actually cares about people. Also, she's a little sticky-fingered, if you get my meaning.

Other Notes:
- She's attracted to shiny objects to a horrid degree. Which is why she is obsessed with treasure. And she's not afraid to sneak into another's home and just snatch something that's caught her eye. (So beware!)
- She orders Magnus around like he's her own personal slave. (He doesn't seem to mind, don't worry) She also has a tendency to sit on his shoulders, or to expect piggy back rides from random people.
- She's very protective of Magnus, regarding him as an older brother but treating him like he's younger and a burdening responsibility

Special:
Strength - 3
Perception - 7
Endurance - 3
Charisma - 5
Intelligence - 9
Agility - 10
Luck - 5

Okay, well that's it... tell me if I can't have a raccoon character, and I'll just change her up a bit, I guess...

Well, a raccoon isn't an uncommon creature, but Brittles makes the rules and he hasn't been around for a while. So you'll have to wait and see.

Okay, I'll wait...thanks.

Gar. Gone from March 25th-29th. Don't make the hijinks continue without me!

Edit: I'm back!

Jump, you need to post! I can't write anything new until I have your character's input...

Not to pry, but is Brittles always gone for long periods of time?

gah, sorry, got lazy, I'll post soon. Brittles isn't usally off this long, so I wonder if he's doing fine.

Do any of you know how old he is? Maybe he's in high school and he's got a big project due or has just been swamped with homework for a while...?

My computers in the shop so i wont be able to reply for a while. And just when things were starting to happen again to.

I've been gone for a bit! now I'm back and posting. good for me, welcome back and i hope i have a good life in general.
or at least that's what you should be saying.

Good for you, Welcome back and I hope you have a good life in general
I am now back as well

Soon, he says.
10 days later...

Everyone disappeared! There's no sign of Brittles, Space and some of the other RP'ers that held this part of the forum up! Awww, this is so much fun, and it helps me practice writing to some extent. I'd hate to see it die. Com'on guys, you need to post! We can only nudge your chars, not outright control them! There are people who want to get in, too, and they can't unless the story moves on. So let's get to it!

*ahem*

Special rule #3:What's the hold up?

Ok with people jumping in, and out of a game... there will be times that you'll be waiting weeks, or even MONTHS for someone to respond! This would be BAD. So here's what we're going to do:If you're waiting for more then three days for a person to respond feel free to take minor control of their character to keep the story going... keeping in with what the character would do of course.


okay? lets get going, i would post more if i didn't want to double post. so, play!

Hm, touche. I guess I'm just lazy and I don't really know what to post.

There we go. What happens now is anyone's game. My char will definitely be back later in the day, so look forward to that, but you guys are pretty much free to springboard off of what I posted or just go and start something new for now. After all, this event's pretty much over. The reason why I'm not taking control over other characters is because I'd rather not RP by myself. That would look kinda sad. It's not as nearly fun either, since you can fully control what happens. No scene of uncertainty or suspense or thinking on your feet. Just post more, guys!

awwww... i wanted my character to make a bad joke about Venison's name...
oh well...

Okay, I'll join in.

Name: Balbaroy Piikart (Also Bal, Bally, or Roy)
Species: Dog (Labrador/Poodle mix)
Age: 14 dog years
Gang: Unaffiliated
Appearance: Whitish blonde curly poodle hair, brown eyes, medium sized for a dog. Wears a red collar with a star tag on it.
Personality: Very friendly and assumes everybody else is until they prove otherwise. Very excitable and doesn't know his own strength, so if you play with him be prepared for him to accidently hurt you. Enjoys to wrestle, nap, play pretend, and play board games. He has recently immigrated from New Zealand and has a thick accent which most people mistake for Australian. Among everything else he seems to have a sort of zen in his stupidity that comes out now and then, just something that's so wise yet so simple, but he never seems to notice it. Lives with his dad Kent and his "uncle" *wink wink nudge nudge* Travis.

Now.... do I just post something to get started?

Edit: Dang, did I come in just as it died out? Bad luck.

No were still going, I think, I've just been busy reading another comic so I havent posted in a while

i think we are still going, what makes me sad tough. is that all the people that started this has stopped playing.
plus this is a slower Forum then most, so don't worry.

EDIT: @Jumplion COME BACK! PLEASE! I WANT SOME OLD (to the RP that is) PEOPLE BACK!
@ Brit & Nospace look above

Ok i'm alittle confused I thought Ceir and del were talking to Eira

Okay good, I was worried about that. I'll keep that in mind from now on.

heh, sorry 'bout the absence, I have two tests next week so I'm studying for them. I'll try to catch up later, mmkay?

My internet is gone. [Insert explicit here] This means that the only time I can consistently check any forum is on Friday, at my friend's house... [Insert another explicit word here]. AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH. Well, I'll try to do whatever I can to help keep this thing going. And Brit, Jump and Space need to come back! Really! They do! Please!

...Right, this needs to stay alive. It's fun, and I'd hate to see it go away.

OH GOD! What did I do wrong? NOOOOOO!

Hahaha inspiration at last, thank you sweet Muse, by which I mean I finally read Balbaroy's charactor intro.

Awesome, I'm helpful.

So, pet friendly has been moving a little slowly, hasn’t it? There’ many reasons why, (like 3 of the starting RP’ers going missing) but one major reason I think that we’ve been hitting roadblocks is a distinct lack of setting. We don’t know where we are, or what our homes actually look like! We don’t have places to go, things to see, etc. We need a name for our neighborhood, and maybe later on, a well defined map. What attractions do we have? We have a coffee shop called “The Wall,” but that’s about it so far. What other shops do we have?

I’m not the RP leader though, Brittles is (wherever he may be), and so we’ll all have to agree if we make any concrete changes to the base storyline. I want to see if we can all work together so that this thing will pick up speed! Let’s all brainstorm and toss out ideas, and see which one works the best. We can mix and match ideas as well, if that works for the best. So, um, right.
We need:
-a name for our neighborhood
-a list of attractions/shops
-anything else I may have missed

So. My list:
Name: Richardson Valley
Shops: Well, we already have the coffee shop. What about a supermarket of some sort? Maybe a nearby mall? We’ll need a pet store, obviously. Oh! A movie theater! I think that we’ll be pulling from everyone’s list for this part…

I hope this will all work out for the better. Com’on everyone, let’s see what we can come up with!

That name seems fine to me and a clear cut layout of the area would be useful.

as for shops we definitely need at least a grocer and pet store. what we have kinda depends on what kind of city we live in. like is it a suburb or a small town or whatever.

Been waiting for a chance to jump in here, but yeah, some idea of setting will help things move a LOT smoother, if not necessarily faster. May want to start a 3rd thread for this tho, with the subject "Pet-Friendly Setting" or something. Otherwise, the RP here may get buried in ideas, lol.

No reason to. i think e only people playing the Rp understand by now its a "Pet-friendly" Rp.
plus i think only people playing the Rp will care about this at all.

any way, maybe we could find a Google map? like a certain area that looks like it could be our neighborhood?

Brittles wrote:A silly tale of domestic pets getting into trouble in the suburbia of the northern united states.

That's why I edited my post: I took out "location" and "neighborhood type" as things to discuss. Regardless, I think we can say we're in something of a town/suburb. And we do have snow. Once we have more of a layout, we can stick our neighborhood in northern California or some similar area.

In the comic they have a zoo, which might be some sort of attraction. Also, assuming that the pets have noraml human intelligence, which they do in the comic, I wonder if there would be any weird sort of pet school? Or maybe they're just all born with infinite knowledge!

Edit: Actually that was a stupid idea. Sorry.

No, no... actually, I think you may have something there. Not a "school" in the sense of what we're used to... but how about "obedience school?"

The zoo makes a good example of other locations that don't have to be in the area tho - that zoo was probably in a nearby city, so any major locations like that may not be in the suburb itself, but could be in the city nearby. It's a roleplay, so there's a lot more area to play with than just the location in which we're starting from. It's not like there's some glowy mystical barrier that'll deadpan "Thou shall not pass!" if anyone expands beyond the initial area after all, lol.

As far as the layout, I trust everybody else's judgement. I will roll (or rather role) with whatever everybody else agrees is acceptable.
