Housepets!

CyberDragon wrote:What did the effect look like?

Aside from my usual problems with making quotes work, text that wasn’t colored was suddenly colored

Name: Calvin "Calv" Williams

Color: 808000

Type: main

Species: cat, British Shorthair

Age: 23 pet years, 6 and about one half human years

Neighborhood: Richmond Acres

Appearance: Brown cat, black striped tail, and dark green eyes, wears a pendant from his mother. Four feet tall, slightly skinny. His underbelly has brighter brown than the back and he has dark brown stripes on his back

personality: Energetic, kind, dislikes nut milk, likes board games, and loves books. Kind to other pets. Or, was. He hasn't acted the same since his brother died. Acts nervous and sometimes even angry around humans. Sometimes he just stares off into the stars, he likes writing, but is too nervous to publish his books, and nervous around dogs, but a lot less than humans. He can stand sci- fi but will rather go with fantasy, unless, of course, the sci- fi is Star Wars. He doesn't like horror movies, they are too cliché and stupid.

Special:
-strength 2
-perception 8
-endurance 6
-charisma 5
-Intelligence 9
-agility 7
-luck 5

Other notes: He has no owners, he came to Richmond Acres to get away from his new owners (who were not good people) after his old owner died, his brother Hawk died of a bad fever a week after they moved there, his parents died from overworking and undereating as the new owners forced the pets to work and did not give them much food. Will bite anyone who so much as touches his pendant. Writing helps calm him down. His nickname, Calv, was given to him by his brother Hawk

You have the same problems here as you had over in BoH.
More detail, please! What kind of cat? What's brought him to RA? What are his owners like?
Also, you have a couple more SPECIAL points you can use if you like. You can use up to 42 points in total and if my maths is right you have 39 there.

I suggest you have a look at the sheets from current players to see how we do it. They're all linked in the first post of each OOC thread.

I updated it. There's the reason he came, his owners (or lack thereof), the type of cat, and even a little backstory.

What’s up with all the minmax techniques in setting up your stats? I don’t think I’ve ever seen multiple 10s and 2s on a sheet here before. Also I don’t remember what that that looked like originally but that description is still kinda limited. I don’t know if Hilaroo will allow that in, but you need to put some effort into the description of things like personality, some people will want to know his backstory when they approach you so they can use it to figure out your character when interacting, and you’re not giving them much to work with. You don’t need the type thing here either, it’s really mostly mains here, even for people who like juggling multiple characters.

It was either that or unused points, he's smart and attentive, he has no owner because he ran away, he doesn't have relatives, his brother and parents died, and he... Oh wait, gotta add something

Okay. Seems okay to me now.
If no one else has any objections after 24 hours from now then you can join. ^^

One thing to know, Hawk, is don't take criticisms to heart. Most of them are intended to help and to educate. Sometimes, when I do it, I take it via PM's but often the mods have to show an open hand and put it on the relevant thread. It's never intended to hurt.

I know

edit: when will the other people will be done with whatever they are doing? I don't want to butt into their roleplay.

Edit: oh whatever, at least it wasn't when I tortured everybody in sims 4

you will be waiting FOREVER TO JOIN the RP..

So do find a place to Butt in!!

Don't worry. We'll fit you in ^^

Here's what Pepper's radio codes mean:

E61: Her personal call sign.
Priority: She has an urgent message.
10-67A: Animal calling for help. (10-67 is person calling for help and I tweaked it a little)
10-91C: Injured animal
10-45B: Patient's condition is serious
10-40V: Calling a veterinarian (10-40 is calling/call a doctor and I tweaked this a little too)

I know real police probably don't use quite so many codes in a single conversation but it was fun looking this up

Yay, Sgt. Pepper's back!

wait, sgt. pepper is a dog right...

Also... how come I am not in the list of participants... I have a soul... I think.

Rabbit.

oops

I might not be there yet either, some people don’t stick around that long so best not to set them up before you know they are dedicated to keep up with the RP

Sergeant Pepper is a police dog. She's an npc that was introduced in the last arc.

Not to be confused with Piper who's a rabbit that lives in the town's antique shop.

And yeah, I'll update that list when I get a chance. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

XP

Sorry. Been tired all day. Ignore me.

I hope you have some cats, Calvin and dogs do not mix.

Cats, dogs, mice, rabbits, skunk, mountain lion, grizzly(?) bear, otter...

There's a pretty solid mix in this crazy crowd.

I hope I get to meet the bear soon

Hey! No removing my bits!

Sorry, Keeshah, but you know the rules. No ooc in the ic.

STILL NOT SHOWN IN THE PARTICIPANTS LIST.

Neither am I. Calm down. That list is barely current and almost no one looks at it, so updating it isn't high priority.

Hawkfang42 wrote:STILL NOT SHOWN IN THE PARTICIPANTS LIST.

As I said, I'll get to it when I have time. I have a full-time job and outside of work I've had a busy week too, with both financial and plumbing issues that I've had to attend to in addition to just regular things like eating and sleeping. As much as I love the forums I do need to prioritise real-life situations over posting. Other players/GMs can testify that they're waiting for me to post in the other rps too so it's not just you.

It's not a personal slight against you in any way, shape or form so please do not take it as such. Also, please don't write in all caps like that as it comes across as very aggresive and confrontational.

O.O How did I miss that? That's embarrassing! Sorry, Cyber! You should have said something sooner!

Because it was requested...

Name: Nola Christopher

Character Type: Main

Species: Feline. Moggy

Gender: Female

Age: 24

Neighborhood: Richmond Acres

Appearance: Slightly straggly Black and White.

Colour – This ()

Personality: Sarcastic, keeps herself to herself. A little antagonistic at times. Pretends she doesn’t care much about anyone. A little Battle-scarred emotionally.

Nola lived the good life with Thomas, Sally and their parents. They were well off financially and then things went a bit wrong. The parents died and a gold digger moved in on Thomas, looking to separate him from his support – of which Nola was the first target, even convincing Thomas that it would be best if someone else raised Nolas’ new kittens (from a one night stand with a travelling Cat). This almost destroyed Nola, who took off and got completely lost despite only travelling a half mile distance. She fell in with street cats and mentally healed most of her scars over the next year or so. She joined in the attack on the silo largely due to not having eaten anything in the previous few days and just about survived her injuries thanks to medical attention.

The gold -digger, meanwhile, had been thrown out by Thomas after implying that Sally would be better off at a boarding school and he regretted his actions regarding Nola. So they were quickly around when the Vets called to say they had Nola and took her (and Juniper the blind Mouse) back home.

Nola is reacclimatising to being home and to living with a Rodent infestation. She regrets leaving Sally alone in the house. She’s got her |Human back now. She’s not losing her again!

Neither of them know it but one of her Kittens has returned to town. A Tortoiseshell boy...

Name: Juniper Christopher

Character Type: Main (sorta)

Species: Mouse

Gender: Female

Age: 6 Human years

Neighborhood: Richmond Acres

Appearance: Kinda Grey.

Colour – This ()

Personality: Blind since near Birth, the Mouse has become an expert at feeling her way around to the extent that she can traverse familiar places at speed. A bright personality as she wants people to like her, she’s adjusting to not being surrounded by dozens of other Mice . She grew up in a major Mouse colony at the silo, under the command of the Militaristic Scratch and the peace-loving Kilo. It was Kilo and the Vixen called Nadia who found her after the attack from the local Ferals and brought her to the Vets, where she found herself joining the Christopher family and getting a boyfriend called Flash. She likes being warm. She likes being safe. She likes being on Nola the Cat’s ‘do not eat’ list. She just wishes there were a few more Mice around is all.

I think House #33 should do. (unless occupied)

33 is fine.

That's actually right next door to Lucky (house 34) which means that Nola and Leslie will have literally just passed each other in the street, one on foot and one in the car.

So close and yet so far.

Good job she wasn't looking...

Hey Welsh, mild typo on mouse. Don’t think you need to bring up biblical figures when talking about Juniper. Also, a part of me kinda wants to play a mouse. Where do most mice start off if they don’t have owners? I’m kinda wanting a wild animal... also if any cats want to play with them, I kinda want to play a bit of an idiot, so I think the best way to establish that is how close they are willing to get to something that sees a snack from the moment they spot them.

I think ALL mice we havee right now are wild until they came to meet other characters and was adopted, so you can pretty much go wild with thaat i think

Thanks! I’ll try and write him up in the near future... if no one has any objections to tech made at unusually small sizes, I may give him a tiny working camera, I think a photographer has some motivation for getting close to dangerous feline giants

I've mentioned the silo Mice had one or two technologically directed amongst their population. If allowed, I think he could be a survivor/ someone who was absent at the time of the attack. Or he found Or they found one around. If allowed.

... you think a low/average intelligence would make sense if he was able to build his own camera? Or should I make him intelligent and just lacking in common sense/luck?

He did say your character could have found it.

Yeah, but I want to be able to have him be able to repair and upgrade it if he feels the need to, also, if he’s smarter I suppose he’d know how to develop film
