Non HPU: Zootopia OOC

[Pecan]

Welcome to the world of Zootopia!
Zootopia is described as a "modern, civilized world that is entirely animal", meaning it is a world where humans are nonexistent, and anthropomorphic animals thrive in their place. Originally a mammal watering hole thousands of years prior, Zootopia grew into a city built by animals, for animals.

In Zootopia, anyone can be anything, and we here at Zootopia mean that. So, we’ve created the “Mammal Inclusion Initiative” that provides all species of mammals high-ranking opportunities in every part of Zootopian society.
Whether you want to be a businessbeast, police officer, firefighter, or whatever you can think of, we really want to make sure anyone can be anything.

To accommodate the residents of each district's environmental requirements, Zootopia's districts feature artificial climate zones. For districts with opposing climate zones, there are massive walls separating them designed to ventilate the air temperatures between the two environments, similar to air conditioners. Zootopia also features an extensive train system for all sizes of mammal, including a smaller section for rodents to board safely from larger animals.

If you think your dream is impossible for you to accomplish, then you haven’t been to Zootopia yet.
So come on down to Zootopia! Where anyone can be anything!
Sincerely yours,
-Mayor Lionheart

Information about the world of Zootopia
Unfortunately, Zootopia is, similar to the human world, plagued with prejudice. Prey animals, especially small herbivorous ones like sheep and rabbits, are often disrespected for being small and weak, and find themselves being underestimated and underappreciated as a lesser group. Predators, on the other hand, are often seen as cunning, vicious, powerful, loud and arrogant and are distrusted by the prey animals, who make up the majority of the population. In spite of this, the city holds the mantra of "In Zootopia, anyone can be anything", coined by the city's noble head, Mayor Lionheart, who has worked on a project known as the Mammal Inclusion Initiative that, in theory, provides all species of mammals high-ranking opportunities in every part of Zootopian society.

Some existing cities in the diverse world of Zootopia had to get cut out of the film, although they remain on the map. Those include the Meadowlands, which is all sheep; an Australian district named Outback Island; a nocturnal district with a city of caves; and probably other cities with reptiles and birds - classes of animals also not present in the film- as opposed to Zootopia's all-mammal population.

The Map of Zootopia


Sahara Square
Sahara Square is a district for Desert Mammals in the City of Zootopia.
Upon learning that desert animals are mostly nocturnal due to the heat of daytime, the designers built lots of nighttime activities, such as casinos and a giant palm-tree hotel with an oasis surrounding it.
So if nice, hot, and dry weather and fun night time activities sound like the perfect vacation treat, then Sahara Square is the best place for you to visit.

Tundratown
Tundratown is a district for Polar Mammals in the City of Zootopia.
During the Holiday Seasons, the lights of Tundratown really makes the district look exactly like Santa’s workshop, making it the perfect vacation destination for the Holidays
So if you like cold weather and beautiful snowy landscapes, then Tundratown is the best place for you to visit.

Little Rodentia
Little Rodentia is only 21 inches tall, making it less than two feet high. However, for the smaller mammals, it is still a diverse district, having a wealth of restaurants, shops (especially cheese), and transportation. It is located in Savanna Central park, gated off from larger mammals and with stable weather patterns to accommodate for the light weight of the district. Parts of the community also borrow appliances that are considered average size from larger animals and incorporated into it, such as Christmas lights for street lights. It also includes various skybridges between buildings that are modeled after tubes normally seen in hamster cages.
So, if you are a small mammal, then Little Rodentia is the best place for you to visit.

The Rainforest District
Rainforest District is a district for Rainforest Mammals in the City of Zootopia.
Though it’s a pretty wet and green area, it’s still a beautiful place to live, with authentic building designs from native rainforest dwellers and luscious floral life, as well as a sky lift to take you to and from the rainforest.
So, if getting a little wet and exploring the natural scenery of a jungle sounds like the perfect vacation for you, then the Rainforest District is the best place for you to visit.

Savanna Central
Savanna Central is the downtown area of the City of Zootopia, where all the animals from other districts converge and congregate in their everyday life.
The central hub of the city, Savanna Central houses many residential areas and key communal buildings, including City Hall, Zootopia Police Department, and the Central Station trains. The watering hole that became Zootopia is also present outside of City Hall. It also has a small park in the middle.
So, if you want to visit the big city and enjoy history, then Savanna Central is the perfect place for you to visit.

Outback Island
A place for all creatures from Australia, this district is showcases sweeping plains filled with intense, dry heat, shifting red sands, short scrub, and patches of taller trees. Accommodations range from cool underground burrows to nest-like houses in trees to comfortable dwellings built in the shade at ground level. Activities here include swimming in the billabong, sliding on the dunes, enjoying traditional music and art and storytelling under the stars at night. If you fancy a cultural experience in the heat and cool, relaxing nights then Outback Island is the place for you!

Meadowlands
The Meadowlands is a district entirely comprised of sheep in the City of Zootopia.
It's a very relaxed district with plenty of grass, luxurious housing, and beautiful skies.
So if relaxing with the herd sounds like the perfect vacation, then the Meadowlands is the perfect place for you to visit.

Nocturnalia
Nocturnalia is a district for nocturnal mammals in the City of Zootopia.
This district is filled with caves, caverns, and beautiful bioluminescent lights lighting up the dark caves, this district is the perfect place for adventure.
So if darkness and exploring beautiful caves sounds like the perfect vacation, then Nocturnalia is the perfect place for you to visit.

Information about the roleplay itself
This Roleplay is a Non-HPU, Slice of life roleplay, taking place in the city of Zootopia. Your characters can all live in any district that you choose, but you all have a membership to the Savanna Recreation Center, located in Savanna Central, where anyone can do anything. From working out in a gym with all kinds of specialized equipment, to playing basketball in the indoor basketball court, to taking art classes in one of the many city funded learning programs. Literally anything you can think of, it's probably at the Savanna Rec Center.
This is the one constant that your characters have in common, and while you don't have to hang out in the Rec Center the whole time, it is the place where you all meet.
But to clarify, the entire city is yours to explore, but because it's so big, it could be impossible for your characters to find each other. That's why the rec center is here.

Rules for the roleplay
Obviously all of the site-wide and RP-wide rules apply here.
Regarding spoilers, at this point in time the movie has been out for general purchase/viewing long enough that I feel safe in allowing spoiler content. If we get a player who hasn't seen the movie for whatever reason however, then I will ask that we avoid open spoilers in OOC, and use spoiler tags. (But also advise they watch it. It's good. c:)

Character Creation
Instead of making the animals all the same size and making the film seem generic, the filmmakers decided to give the animals a real world scale. So, we will be doing that with this roleplay.
To give you an idea about how drastic that is, a wildebeest standing on twos would have the same height as an average human, or to specify the height, 5.6ft tall. But a wildebeest to a mouse is 1:24, meaning that it would take 24 mice, each mice being 2in tall, standing on each other to match the height of a Zootopian wildebeest. Using the height of a giraffe, that same mouse is at a scale of 1:97 to the giraffe. So a giraffe would be about 16ft tall.
Keep this in mind when creating a character.

Also, while each creature may vary in size, just go ahead and give them normal stats. Even if a rabbit has 10 agility and a cheetah has 10 agility in numbers, it just means that your character is above average for your species.

Other than that, just use the standard roleplaying character sheet template provided in the roleplaying ooc.

We are currently accepting ANY applicants for the Zootopia roleplay.

[AmberTheWolfKit]

Oh cool! A Zootopia RP, I might join...

[Hlaoroo]

Here's my first character! I'll have another before too long!

Name: Benjamin “Ben”/”Sparks” Winton

Color= #228B22

Age: 32

Species: Weasel

Appearance: Reddish brown with white underside and bright, sparkly eyes that are a startling blue. Average height for his species, long and lithe as is typical of his species. He wears green cotton coveralls with hi-vis stripes over a white cotton tee-shirt while he’s at his day job where he works as an electrician. At work he’ll usually be seen with a leather tool belt strapped around his waist and at least two spare pairs of thick rubber gloves tucked into the back of the belt in addition to the pair he’s usually wearing on his paws. A black plastic watch with a white plastic face is strapped to his left wrist but often hidden by the cuff of his gloves which extends to his elbows. He also wears a pair of rubber-soled work boots, a pair of safety goggles, and more often than not, a yellow hard hat. He also carries a couple of dust masks in his pocket for when he follows wires through narrow, dusty crawl spaces or through insulation in roofs and walls. He works both in construction and as a contractor repairing faults in homes and in power lines and transformers. When he’s not at work he likes to wear comfy blue jeans and a tee-shirt.

Personality/Backstory: Ben is not at all what he seems. Although he’s fully qualified as an electrician and does really work as one, the company which employs him is in reality a front for ZEUS – the Zootopian Elite Undercover Squad, a small government-funded taskforce that few know exists and even fewer are selected to join. Yes, Ben is a spy. That said, he’s just about as far from James Bond as it’s possible to get. He’s chipper, talkative, and instantly likeable and has made lots of friends by training regularly in the gym and volunteering to help at community events at the rec centre. And, who would suspect a simple, humble and community-minded tradesanimal of being a trained killer, fluent in three languages, capable of cracking any lock and listening in on their conversations as he works? Like all spies he carries one or two gadgets to help him in his work but he’s definitely not dripping in technology like the spies in some movies. This is the real world after all. Orphaned at a young age, Ben doesn’t like to talk much about his upbringing, preferring to enjoy the present rather than reliving the struggles of the past. He’s lived all his life in the seemingly great city of Zootopia and knows the city like the back of his paw. Better, perhaps, since his paws are so often hidden by his gloves. Due to his work he’s one of the few who are privy to the messy machinations behind the perfect public façade of the city and he’s one of the few that has the ability to stop problems before the public is even aware that anything has gone wrong. He loves his job, both the electrical aspect and the espionage aspect, and wouldn’t change a thing.

You may ^^

Oh cool! A Zootopia RP, I might join...

You are more than welcome to, if you would like :3
Would you like me to add your name to the list of participants?

Here's my first character! I'll have another before too long!

Awesome! I approve and shall Add the character to the list of participants.

Also! One thing about Zootopia is that because there are no humans, domestic animals will have never came to be, so there won't be any golden retrievers and tabby cats. Just wild animals ^^

[WeirdGamer]

So I just saw the movie, and I would like to join if there is a spot available.

-Name-
Monty Lyons

-Color-
#0000FF

-Character Type-
Main Character

-Species-
Cougar

-Age-
43 years old

-Neighborhood-
Zootopia

-Appearance-
Monty is a tall and broad shouldered cougar. He has a slight gut and always looks tired and worn down. Years of hard living have made him look older than his 43 years. He eyes are small and are almost always squinting. He brown fur is neatly trimmed (about the only neat thing about him) and he has a short tail. He tends to wear non-descript, slightly wrinkled, dress shirts and pants with a dully colored tie. He often wears an overcoat over his outfits.

-Personality-
Behind every cynic lies a disappointed idealist. Monty is a glass half empty kind of person. He is rarely happy, though he is also rarely angry, instead predisposed to be just kind of a sad sack. He likes to think out loud, and is very blunt, a bad combination that has gotten him in trouble many, many times. He’s not mean though (at least on purpose) and does occasionally enjoy the company of others. He tends to be short and terse with his words, preferring to let his actions speak for themselves. Jaded as Monty may be, he still is a big old softy at heart, and will often help people with their problems, even if those problems inevitably bring him trouble. He’s also a sucker for a sob story. Monty is also very determined, and finds it hard to stop something once he (finally) gets going. He is devoted to finding the truth at all costs.

-Backstory-
Monty has lived in Zootopia his entire life. He was always keen to get ahead and studied hard in school and eventually became a reporter. He enjoyed a lot of the work at first, and felt he was making a difference, but as he continued he began to become disillusioned. Everywhere he looked he saw unfairness and suffering. It only got worse once he became an investigative reporter and really started to delve into the worst parts of the city. He eventually became a jaded old reporter, but one who was still married to his job and to finding the truth. He still works as a reporter, but has lately thinking about applying to become an editor.

-Other Notes-
His apartment is located in the Rain Forest District, hence his coat (The rent was cheap). He comes from Nocturnalia though.

Despite the cheap rent Monty finds himself constantly short on cash.

Monty loves Root Beer. Maybe he’d have more money if he didn’t buy so much of the stuff.

Monty has partial hearing loss in both ears due to an up-close encounter with an explosion (long story). He wears hearing aids because of this.

-SPECIAL-

Strength- 6

Perception- 9

Endurance- 7

Charisma- 6

Intelligence- 8

Agility- 4

Luck- 2

[The Moon Howler]

Okay, here he is. I apologize if the story is a bit too dark. If needed I will have no trouble editing it.

Name: Bigby Wolfen

Species: Gray wolf

Gender: Male

Age: 29

Resident of: Zootopia

Job: Private Detective (and to some extent information dealer)

Appearance:
With average height and build for his species, he doesn’t differ too much from any other gray wolf, spare for his ears, which are completely black, his black muzzle and his paws (right is white and the left is black). His eyes’ color is Amber.
Because of his job, he tends to go around in a variety of different outfits, but usually he prefers to go around with a more “business” look - dark blue 2-piece suit, white shirt and a black, slightly loose tie (sometimes, he might add a dark blue fedora as well).

Personality:
Bigby is usually very shifty, doing what he does. How he behaves and what he does usually depends on where and with who he is, but whatever happens, he always keeps his cool. One of his finer qualities though, is that he always keeps his word.

Background:
Raised by his mother alone, he always idolized his father, who was a fire-fighter, lost in a tragedy. Bigby was raised with the belief that you always need to help other when you can. To honor his parents, Bigby joined the ZPD with flying colors, however soon after he lost his mother to a freak accident. Once he was left alone, he worked for ZPD for another year, during which he truly saw what the world was. After all the wolf went through, he finally reached his breaking point and resigned from ZPD. For another year he changed several jobs, until he turned to the more shady employments. There he met Mack – a witty fennec fox in need of partner. With nothing to lose, they both joined forced to survive the harshness. That is until one day the very Chief Police officer of ZPD caught the young wolf (who managed to save his partner just in time). The big buffalo had to beat some sense into the young wolf and he managed to, while the wolf was in the arrest. Once free, the young Mr. Wolfen decided to change careers and once again try and help others, but in his own way. He began a career as a Private Detective and setup shop in the more “less respectful” parts of Savanna Central (due to the lower rents). Aside from helping the occasional customer, he also reunited with Mack and convinced the fennec to work together again by being his “eyes” in the Zootopia’s underworld as well as his back-up.
To this day Bigby supplies information to important figures (Such as mayor Lionheart, Chief Bogo and a fierce crime boss, named Mr. Big) in order to earn some extras.

Other Info:
Being a former Law enforcement officer and continued career, his fighting skills are honed.
He always carries a Taser-gun in a special holster under his suit and the occasional pepper spray, hidden in one of his sleeves.

It seems MoonHowler and I have done the RP equivalent showed up to a formal event wearing the same outfit. If that's problem I can change my character to make him different (or create a new character).

[MrNeonShot]

XD yeah, it looks like it.

First, let's go over my concerns.
WG, do you think that Monty's personality would mix well in this roleplay with everyone else? If so, that's completely okay. I was just wondering because of the more grumpy mood he has.

TMH, I think Bigby needs a bit more information on his personality. In what ways does he act different around certain people?

Second, since both of you want to be Private investigators, and since Bigby has a partner in his back story, you both could be partners in the same private detective agency? That's just a suggestion, but you both can figure out between yourselves what to do.
I'll keep your applications on hold until you come up with a solution, but besides my above concerns, your characters look good ^^

Grumpy might not be the word for it. Maybe a bit of a sad sack? Like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh.

And I'd be fine with being partners. I was also thinking of maybe turning Monty onto a intrepid report instead. In fact, now I really like the idea. I've edited his character sheet accordingly.

[MrNeonShot]

I can see the personality working ^^ I also like the reporter job Monty has now, so your character is approved ^^

[WeirdGamer]

Fantastic! I may create a second character in the future, but for now I'm good.

Also, people who read this exchange in the future are going to be very confused.

[MrNeonShot]

Here's my character sheet :3

Name: Kirby Otterson
Color: #FF0000
Type: Main

Species: Otter

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Neighborhood: Zootopia

Occupation: Comic Book Artist

Appearance: Kirby is a River Otter who, even at work, normally wears casual or semicasual attire. At work, he normally wears polo shirts of all different colors and khaki shorts to match. On casual days, he wears T-shirts with his favorite Super Heroes, including Spider-Wolf, Iron Ham, and the Tasmanian Daredevil with a pair of grey shorts varying in lengths.
His eyes are blue and he keeps his hair clean and with a slight tuft to show his young, yet professional style.

Personality: Kirby is an Otter who likes to keep himself professional, yet is playful like any otter. He’s happy to help where he believes he can do the most good and (Like Judy) believes that anyone can be anything. The people around him see him as a happy guy, and he certainly is with his dream job, but he always feels like he can do more to make his life better

Backstory:
Kirby Otterson grew up in a small town roughly 500 miles away from Zootopia as the runt of his family. Because he was so small as a kid, he was usually bullied by the other otters, and as he grew up, he kept his head in the clouds and his pencil to the paper rather than socializing with the other otters. His father, Jackson, also loved comic books, and his dad’s love of comic books soon became Kirby’s love, collecting even more comics than his dad’s old collection. Because of this, he discovered his love of art and comics. He regularly participated in different art competitions and contests and after becoming rather famous for his pieces in the different contests in college, Kirby was approached with a job offer from Marvel Comics.
Before he went to college, his mom, Rebecca, had divorced his father around the same time that her friend, Kriss, lost her husband in an accident.
Kriss being afraid that she wouldn't be able to raise her child alone, was invited to live with Rebecca until she felt she was ready to leave.
After graduation, Kirby made the move from his small town to the big city of Zootopia, where the main building for Marvel Comics resides.
His mother, however, fell in love with Kriss after finding out Kriss' real feelings for her and the two got married shortly after Kirby moved. The two then followed him to Zootopia, bringing with them their son, Leo, who is now taking art classes at the rec center with Kirby as his teacher.

Other notes:
-Kirby teaches an art class at the SRC for kids from 1st to 3rd grade.
-Kirby has a younger adopted brother whom he's known since he was 17 that he loves and cares for as if he were his own brother.

Stats:
S: 6
P: 5
E: 8
C: 7
I: 6
A: 5
L: 5
Total: 42
Edited to make both Leo and Kirby's backstories mingle together

Also! Don't forget to add your character's colors to the character sheets. I need the color codes (#000000) so I can tag your characters appropriately.

TMH, I think Bigby needs a bit more information on his personality. In what ways does he act different around certain people?

He's that guy that can fit in any kind of company if he's willing to do it. I will update his sheet and maybe even add Mack's (if I am allowed) when I get home.

[Hlaoroo]

[The Moon Howler]

@Moon: How old is Bigby?

As I said, I will fix his color and apparently - his age.

Edit: Aaand... Done!

[Mickey]

Name: Matthew "Cinnamon" Lervos (Lur-vOs)

Color: #404040

Neighbourhood: Savanna Central

Occupation: Street Dancer. Trying to become a professor.

Species: Cheetah

Age: 30 years old

Appearance: Like most cheetahs, Cinnamon has a lean body covered in blackish-brown dots and his eyes are a dark mustard yellow. He wears a grey hoodie over a pink shirt, the shirt saying "I <3 PPL" on it along with a pair of blue jeans held up loosely by a black leather belt. There are times he can be seen wearing the top half of an animal skull that covers the top part of his muzzle and head. His little brother made it for him so, it fits his head perfectly and looks rather realistic.

Personality: If one had to pick a word to describe Cinnamon, it would be more than likely be lazy. Cinnamon likes to be carried around a lot by his brother and rarely walks, due to him “not liking his feet getting wet”. He can be seen resting anywhere on Coffee, claiming his brother is his big mobile bed. He’s a pretty chill guy and is more of a lover than a fighter, thought he is slightly socially phobic. Despite his laziness, Cinnamon is still a cheetah and likes to exercise by running and lifting weights. He is actually very skilled in fighting, specifically tae kwon do. He told their father that he would protect Coffee, no matter what, and Cinnamon promised to live up to what he said. Like his brother, Cinnamon love for dancing. They work outside their fathers shop to earn money. They have several routines that they have mastered.

History: Cinnamon was born to Madison and Aaron Lervos, a cheetah couple that owned and lived above a local book store in Savanna Central. They were happy with their newborn kitten, but when a leopard kitten showed up on their doorstep, they didn’t complain. No, they gushed at the fact that they now had two sons. They never told Cinnamon that Coffee was adopted and neither knows to this day. Anyone that tried to tell Cinnamon that his brother wasn’t actually related by blood, Cinnamon would ask for proof before walking away, Coffee in tow. When they finally earned enough money to go live in the apartment down the street, their parents presented them with gifts just in case they got cold. Cinnamon got a grey hoodie with his full name of the back, a big, pink heart around the wording.

S:7 "Nah, I got it,"

E:5 "I can get there with breath to spare! I think...Nah, Coffee please carry me."

---------------------------------------------
Name: Carter "Coffee" Lervos (Lur-vOs)

Color: #FF80FF

Neighbourhood: Savanna Central

Occupation: Street Dancer. Trying to become the owner of the book store.

Species: Leopard

Age: 30 years old

Appearance: Coffee is about the same height as his older brother, either taller or shorter depending on who's slouching. He's a dusty shade of yellow with black dots and circles speckling his fur, along with greenish-yellow eyes. He is sort of muscular, but not enough to show through his fur. He wears a long pink scarf that is folded so the long part drapes down his back, ending at the start of his tail. He wears a grey shirt with the words "I'M WITH LAZY" written on it along with black jeans held up properly along his waist with a brown leather belt. There are times he can be seen wearing the top half of an animal skull that covers the top part of his muzzle and head. His older brother made it for him so, it fits his head perfectly and looks rather realistic.

Personality: Unlike his brother, Coffee is extremely active. He does most of the laboring for the two and when someone else wants to help, he insists he can do it on his own. This often gets him injured, causing Cinnamon to go into overprotective mode and care for his brother like he's barely gripping onto life. Coffee does often bad-mouth his brother about how he doesn't help around the house enough (which makes no sense because he wants to do everything himself), but does threaten any who has the gall to say anything bad about Cinnamon. He is very protective of those he holds dear and even those he doesn’t know. He doesn’t tolerate bullying of any kind and is always quick to settle a dispute between his family and strangers alike. Coffee is a gentle giant, always dancing with any children who take an interest to their routines. Like his brother, Coffee has a love for dancing. They work outside their fathers shop to earn money. They have several routines that they have mastered.

History: Coffee’s parents had never wanted to give up their newborn kitten, but with how his father was deep in dept, they knew it wouldn’t end well if they kept him. They picked the nicest looking building they saw during the night and kissed him goodbye before leaving, never to be seen again. Coffee wasn’t surprised when he woke up in another cats embrace. He was accepted into the family without a hitch. His parents never told Coffee or Cinnamon that Coffee was adopted and neither knows to this day. Anyone that tried to tell Cinnamon that Coffee wasn’t actually related by blood, Cinnamon would ask for proof before walking away, Coffee in tow. When they finally earned enough money to go live in the apartment down the street, their parents presented them with gifts just in case they got cold. Coffee got a long pink with his full name near the end, a big, grey heart around the wording. Cinnamon and him began traveling around, one looking out for the other.

S:7 "I'll lift it myself, thank you."
P:5 "Yes, I'm sure there was nothing there! I think..."
E:5 "I...can....make it! Ugh, nevermind."
C:8 "Hi there! My name is Coffee and this is my brother Cinnamon! Pleasure to meet you!"
I:6 "What does 'ignoramus' mean?"
A:7 "Of course I can climb up there, who couldn't?"
L:4 "Oh, a penny! Aww, it's face down..."

I got Mack ready. What would Bigby do without him?

Name: Mackintosh “Mack” Lesley

Species: Fennec fox

Gender: Male

Age: 40

Resident of: Zootopia

Occupation: Tradesman / minor criminal

Appearance:
Standard sized for his species. His fur’s color is Tan and his eyes are deep purple. He has piercing on his left ear (1 ring).
He wears black shirt with dark blue shorts.

Personality:
Witty and always ready to make a buck, yet he’s not a bad guy. In fact everyone, who managed to see him beyond his rough exterior will notice that he’s cool and quite friendly. Of course, few manage to get under his skin to reach that part of Mack.
One thing’s for sure though – he always gets the job done.

Background:
Born in a large, yet poor family, he and his siblings learned from very young the ways of the street. However, unlike his sibling, who wanted more than just to get by, he was content with what he had.
But one thing he hated the most was the stagnant life they were living. It wasn’t long before he decided to leave the relative safety of his family and strike out on his own. For a little while the fox kept to style he was used to in order to save enough money for a driver’s license and a small van, which ended up being his new home. From that point on, Mack decided to change the way he earned money. For a few years he used his van to transport goods and people from one point to another. After that he worked on a tradesman license and from that point on he was able to make a good enough buck to get along.
At some point Mack bumped into a young wolf, who went by the name of Bigby Wolfen and new opportunities came. He embraced them. With time he even started to like the kid.
However, those new opportunities gained the attention of the ZPD and it wasn’t long before his new partner was captured. He did not took that well and fell into a depression. During that very depression Mack did thing he wasn’t proud of and a small bounty was put on his head. He quickly learned that a detective was after his tail and after a relatively long game of cat and mouse he was cornered. To his surprise the detective was no one else but Bigby himself. The wolf offered him a mutually beneficial offer – to become “partners” once more – Bigby was giving him a real home a cut off the contracts and Mack had to keep his ears open where and when he needed to. He immediately agreed and Bigby covered his bounty, saving the fennec fox. From that point on they work as partners.

Approved!

Hey guys, Furr gave me the green light to start the roleplay, so I'm going to make the starting posts. Get your references ready as soon as possible ^^

[WeirdGamer]

Alright, it might be a little before I can post. I'm doing a lot traveling this weekend. I will as soon as I'm able to though.

Alright, it might be a little before I can post. I'm doing a lot traveling this weekend. I will as soon as I'm able to though.

I know a couple players are preoccupied, including my co-gm, so should I wait for a bit or just go ahead?

[Hlaoroo]

Up to you. I'm ready whenever.
Who's your co-GM, may I ask? And are they a true co-GM in that they have the same authority as you? If so I'll give them a GM tag too if they don't already have one.

Oh great. I don't actually know. It's Hyper, though.
I seriously don't think a slice of life needs a co-gm, but maybe someone who helps me plan things and helps look over character sheets is a good idea.

I think I shall start, since only 3 people still have yet to send their sheets in.

[Hlaoroo]

Okay. Sounds good.

I added you to the GM group so you should now shave your tag and be able to see the GM subforum. Let me know if there's any issues there. Also let me know if you want Hyper to have a tag or not. He could be your assistant GM which means he helps you out behind the scenes but you're still the one that makes the decisions. If you do that then he doesn't have a tag.

[Jacey]

Okay, my account is back (yay) and I also saw Zootopia (So good guys).
now onto that character sheet.

Character Name: Eric Panderton
Color: The color will be.... #0040BF.

Type: Main character

Species/Breed: Red Panda.

Age: 26
Neighbourhood: Zootopia

Appearance: A typical red panda, his red fur color seems to be a shade or two darker, he has brown eyes and thinner than normal stripes on his tail. He has a twin brother and two help others know one from the other, he wears a blue scarf around his neck most times (unless its not appropriate, such as at work or working out. Usually he wears casual attire, though his job requires him to look professional he will usually mix both professional clothing and casual together if it seems to fit fashionably (slacks and a tee shirt or a combination). As well, if at an event, such as a new movie or video game release, he seems to have a graphic tee for the occasion that day (his personal favorite is an Wreck it Rhino shirt.)

Personality: Do to his job, he tends to be very quiet, and in public can seem to be an introvert, in the privacy of his small apartment he can be found dancing and signing to various songs on the radio or video games. He is usually happy and easy going, willing to help when he can. He tries to not give up, or that's how he was taught at the least. Since he is a red panda, he is also fond of napping, especially on trees or shelves where he works.


Other notes: Eric comes from a small family, his twin brother and sister, a father and mother. His father always felt as if he never accomplished anything in his life and pressed his children to become better and not to always settle for second best, and told them they could never fail if they didn't give up. Taking this to heart his own brother became an astronaut, while his sister took on the family business of running the ice cream shop (they lived in a duplex, one half being the shop, the other their home). Eric enjoyed books so much he became a librarians assistant, eventually leaving Tundratown and moving to Savanna Central. He aims to possibly some day either own his own bookshop or at least teach. On the weekends he sometimes goes to Sahara Square at night to experience the night life. His brother as well has recently given him a gift of a membership to the Savanna Rec Center. Something he is very excited to try out.

[RandomGeekNamedBrent]

*narrows down to deer, musk deer, and bovids*
*narrows down to 3 choices and really doesn't want to choose*
...I need to make two characters, I couldn't choose just one

Name: Richard "It's Rick, don't call me Dick" Dickens
Color: #008080
Type: Main

Species: Dik-dik

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Neighborhood: Zootopia
Lives In: Savanna Central

Occupation: Author, works part-time at a local bookstore

Appearance: Most people think Rick is just a really small antelope, but dik-diks are their own family. And like most dik-diks, Rick is only about 3 feet tall, about the same size as a rabbit. Because of his small size, slender figure, and prominent eyelashes of his species, he's often mistaken as female by other species. They apparently don't realize girls don't have horns. he has amber-colored eyes.
He usually just wears a T-shirt and jeans, but if there's a fancy event he does have khakis for work and probably a collared shirt somewhere in his closet. at the rec center he wears shorts and a white t-shirt.

Personality: Rick pretends he likes to be alone, just quietly reading or a book or writing his own, but he really enjoys spending time with friends. He's actually a hopeless romantic, trying to find "the one". of course, "the one" would probably have to be another dik-dik for various reasons, and there aren't that many in Zootopia.

Backstory: Rick grew up in a small savanna town, But whenever he read a book, be it sci-fi or fantasy or some other type of fiction, his imagination took him everywhere but home. He'd go on adventures, explore new worlds, and just generally do exciting things.
But as he grew up, he started to lose his spark. He was stuck in this same small town, surrounded by people he'd known for his whole life, on the road to getting a normal part-time job and becoming just another cog in the machine. His imagination was getting crushed by reality. So one day, he his imagination gave one final push: Move to Zootopia. Get inspired. Become an author. Take the next generation on those adventures you loved so much. So he did. He borrowed some money from his parents and moved to the big city... of course he couldn't afford his own place by himself. Luckily someone else was looking for a new place too.

Other notes:
- Don't call him Dick. he hates being "Dick Dickens the dik-dik"
- usually dragged out of the apartment by his roommate, but he actually loves it.
- somehow still thinks Chris is a guy despite living with her. He's not very observant, and he thinks "horns = male"

Name: Christina "Chris" Kamoshika
Color: #008000
Type: Main

Species: Japanese Serow

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Neighborhood: Zootopia
living in: Savanna Central

Occupation: Rock Climbing Instructor at the rec center.

Appearance: Chris has fluffy, grey and white fur. She's often mistaken for a guy by people who assume horns mean male, but she quickly sets them straight (unless they don't say anything to indicate the mistake). she's about 6ft tall and has a slightly more muscular build.
Usually wears clothing with minimal coverage, because it's hot and she's got a thick coat. Shorts and a black tank top mostly. She's not really one for formality, so that's pretty much all she's got.

Personality: Chris is an energetic, fun-loving girl. She enjoys parkour, and is really good at it since it kinda comes naturally to her species. When she's not teaching at the rec center, she's usually bugging her roommate to hang out, or meeting new people and hanging out with them.

Backstory: Chris grew up in the snowy mountains far north of Zootopia, living in a good sized home with her parents and a couple sisters. She liked climbing there, but not much really happened. Her parents didn't really encourage "trying new things" and wanted her to take over running the family hot springs.
but Chris was a bit of a rebel. After getting out of high school, she saved up the money to move to Zootopia, far enough from her parents that they wouldn;t chase after her, close enough that she could still visit, and big enough that she'd have fun. After spending some time in the polar region, she got a job teaching at the rec center and moved to Savanna central to be closer. but rent in central is more expensive, so she needed to get a roommate, and she met the most adorable doe named Rick.

Other notes:
- somehow still thinks Rick is a girl despite living with him. She's not very observant, and doesn't know "horns=male" for some species. plus she's kinda dumb. Rick is not a girl's name.
