Silence

Nobody knows that he's still around...

Why'd I think of the amazing world of gumball with that one word?

technically Rav is a guard dog. After K-MAADS he will be an attack dog.


Game Master mode on..

How does Jet know Rav is an attack dog?
or that the dogs were signed up for classes?

be careful with using OOC knowledge, in IC posts. M'Kay?

The K-MAADS training is at the pet retraining center, where the Rangers and animal control can keep an eye on the pets being trained with this advanced fighting style training.

Also, to take the K-MAAS training, you first have to pass obedience school and schutzhund.

Which i believe that in character,
Only Rav, Blood and perhaps Lucky have the necessary training in, in there character backgrounds.

But you are all welcome to take obedience school and schutzhund, for now.
An earn your way to taking the K-MAADS training.

Thank you for your attention..

Jet DOESN'T know that he was an attack dog OR a kmaad dog. Mars does because the dad had said that they were signed up. I assume this was said outside because Blood and Rav jumped at the random firework.
All Jet knows is that Rav is cute and fluffy. If the dad didn't say this outside, I'll change it.
Edit: Looking back at Mars' stats, she's at a whoppin' 3 point perception. Turning the corner of a block to hear a guy say "I signed you both up for kmaad's" Would be unrealistic for anyone lower than 6. So I changed it to be more believable anyways. That doesn't mean you shouldn't read the post more carefully.

Mars is just like Grape. Unless someone is specifically told that she is a girl, no one is going to know. There are no characteristics pointing out she is a girl (unless Blood happens to be looking somewhere he shouldn't), and she is even more masculine than her brother, further stating to everyone that she is a guy. Both are supposed to look like brothers rather than brother and sister, so just saying "it took him awhile to see through the deceptive appearance" isn't going to work. Plus, Blood's perception is only slightly above average. There is no way his character is going to see she is a she.

I'll have to specify now I guess that whether or not I have hoteps background with his knowledge he should have the obedience school stuff down....if not ill go through whatever I think of first.

Perhaps we can get D-singer to explain what the difference is between.
obedience school, schutzhund, and K-MAAD training.
he is more up on the canine training than i am.

ok i reread my last post and didnt see tht my kindle auto placed the word strips next to outside. i meant sits, its fixed now

I should have worded it better, but Blood was relying on his sense of smell to identify Mars as female. Which is pretty common for animals, who can identify scent like a thumbprint, unlike humans. Even if he had a relatively weak nose for a dog, it wouldnt be hard to tell scent from someone he's standing all of four feet away from.

Though if you really want, I can revise it so he's completely overlooking gender.

To better explain this. I had a lot of fun thinking it up.

The types of training and levels of qualification service dogs in the RP can get are loosely based on actual K9 training.

Level I: Obedience school, mixed with fitness and agility training. This would also be the basis for any pet wanting to become a service animal, be it guard dog, therapy dog, seeing-eye, and so on. This wouldn’t be specific to any particular job or licensing. Just paperwork saying the animal in question is healthy, loyal, even-tempered, and competent.

Level II: For police/military/protection/working dogs. Where they learn Schutzhund, a type of training that evaluates and refines skills and traits working dogs need to have. Primarily discipline, endurance, strength, intelligence, trainability, bite-work, and sense of smell. Not all can typically qualify far enough to pass everything this level requires for the licensing. Hence there being schools (for instance K9 academies) and companies specifically dedicated to teaching and qualifying “level II”.

Level III: K9 Martial Arts and Defensive Strategies (K-MAADS). In the RP, this is a relatively new system designed specifically for dogs training in bite-work. It teaches simplistic and vicious mixed martial arts tailored for the use of fangs, claws, and canine physique and anatomy (those who recall Jag biting Blood on the shoulder for control before repeatedly kneeing him in the ribcage). It also teaches basic use of weapons at more advances phases.

There’s only a limited number of sources that officially train K9s into level III. It isn’t cheap, and has even higher physical standards than Schutzhund. Additionally, the training courses have to include both a human handler and qualified K9 to teach the techniques.

Finally, the paperwork it awards K9s who learn it are fully qualified for any level of protection work, and can even be employed as rental guard dogs or escorts if sponsored by a company or trainers.

In that case, it makes sense, because of Blood's training. I just didn't want it to be through appearance alone, because that would be nearly impossible.

Mars is worried because of Blood's emphasis on "slayed". I need to re-work it though, I'm not satisfied with her reaction quite yet...

So let me think...due to Hoteps mass amounts of study, reading and practices hed be between level two and three but would need the certification from level two before k maads.

Ok, have him meet with the others at the park then.

Also, it hath been re-worked.

I went back to the character listings. When you have the time, can you add Jet and Mars?

D-Singer wrote: As for supervision, it that hardly meant anything as far as the potential for injury. It just meant there was somebody on hand (usually a hired vet) who'd know what to do if something went wrong.

Just a thought, but it would make perfect sense if this particular role was filled by Hotep's owner.

If you read my post, you'd see that Mars left Rav and Blood a bottle of water and walked away to let them train, dragging Jet away with her, leading to Yukon following her, and possibly Lucky and Kayla, since they replied to her.
Scratch that, Mars and Jet was dragged when she went to go bathe him. Still, letting them train will be next ^^'

Since there's firework celebration in this night of the RP I decided to add or return a person of hoteps family.
At singer: sounds good

This arc of the RP featuring all the dead (inactive) characters from the past as background characters. XJ


Del, Cier, Magnus, Dee, Marshall, Jumplion, Octavian, Zeppelin, Balbaroy, Alex, Mai...

Venison?

Keeshah and I are probably the only ones who remember any of those guys

http://www.furaffinity.net/full/14390139/

Different ideas of fun.
seems to go along with the current RP....

Definatly portrays blood and hotep...hotep being the one with the ball.

Where is everyone??

I'm just sitting here because I have no idea what to say. Mars doesn't like Blood because of the way he ditched Jet twice, and because Rav hangs out with Blood, he probably acts the same way.

COLLEGE BRO!
will try for a post soon

Keeshah wrote:Where is everyone??

It's hard to write someone out of an area when the place they're at is 45 hours away at least by car :< I don't wanna ruin something by having him just magically reappear at his home.

Does anyone mind a sheepdog?

Character Name: David Campbell

Color: #8000FF

Type; Main
Species/Breed: Old English Sheepdog

Age: 7 Human (26 Dog)

Neighbourhood: Richardson Valley

Appearance: A long hair with enthusiasm. Slightly muscular build. Sometimes wears a farmers jacket

Personality He’s not sure he wants to be here really. He’s a little unsure about most things, especially being in America. He’s reserved but helpful and tries to affect an accent above his station on occasions.

Other notes: His owner was a farmer in the home counties of England and had a decent sized farm there – and a decent size fortune too. When he was forced to retire due to a small accident he opted to ‘up sticks’ and see what he could comfortably afford in the States. It had to be rural. It had to have distractions for David. That search ended up here. David hopes to be of use around the community

I'm not sure if I'll be leaving this rp or not. I don't really see my characters fitting in in the long run, so I may or may not move them. I'd like to give this rp a few more weeks before officially leaving.

By the way, you can play human's here.
hows is a pet going to get grounded, and then sneak out a window, if there are no owners..

Keeshah wrote: with a bandaged tail?

KEESH ! No spoilers ! geez !
yeah I know we can play human here , except that , well....I don't do that part well , soooo

Is number 57 free?

so here's my CS , sorry for the late , and I might have to fix this one up a bit , so if there's any problems , feel free to tell me ^^

-Name- Selene
-Species- Arctic Fox
-Age- 8 human years
-Neighborhood- R.V
-Appearance- Selene , despite being a full-grown vixen , is rather short . She has snow-white fur , brown eyes and a slim body , with a brown collar around her neck and star-shaped tag
- Personality –
Selene is usually a calm , relaxing fox , who enjoy a peaceful time ,either talking or playing around with her friends . Generally Selene hates arguing , and would try to solve it peacefully . If she is directly involves in an argument that’s too intense to solve by words, sometimes the vixen would just stop talking , until the subject is changed , just to avoid arguing with others . ironically , though very rare , she would instead become very aggressive and would not stop arguing , sometimes even after her “opponent” ’s already backed off . But , overall , she’s not the aggressive type.
-Back Story
As long as Selene can remember , she was always alone , living in a forest somewhere (yes , an arctic fox , in a forest , with giant trees and all that) , living a simple life . All that changed , sort of , when she met a man name Alex Wilson , around his mid 20s , 2 years ago when he got lost during one of his camping trips , and helped him get back to his camp where his friends were. For some reasons , perhaps curiosity , Selene stuck around the area , sneaking between the bushes , watching the humans , before one of them spotted her . Recognized Selene, Alex let her stay with the group , which she did , and later asked if she wanted to go back with them , to see what the humans are like . Since there was not much to do around in the forest anyway , Selene agreed . Since then they’ve been travelled to a couple of places , before choosing one to settle down.

Are you just going to ignore everything I say in the OOC?

Don't take it the wrong way Neon , I'm sure Keesh didn't mean to ignore you . It's just that he's just gone through a little something the last few days , and now that it's (sort of) over , he probably just did a quick post about it without actually checking the thread . Give it time ya know ^^

Um sorry,
But I really don't know what to say about this.
Besides it's not me who is not allowing you to play your character as designed.
If you want to withdraw an rework your characters, or sub them out for new ones,
That is fine with me.
