Sometimes characters just come to you, but it's really not to hard to create characters when you try at it.

Trinket, Ochen, Jaxeh, Klack were all conceived spontaneously, and all within a day.

But they're not all in the same neighborhood, and they certainly aren't in the most fast-paced hyperactive neighborhood either. 'Sept for Trink.

Rikki turned around, watching the explosion with a straight face. "Hmm. Fireworks."

Rikki looked at the cats who had just said hello. Now that they'd greeted him, he could greet them back. "Oh hello there. My name's Rikki. Are you new in the neighborhood?" He'd noticed the shiny objects on the one cat, but he's lost his interest in such things when his children were born, so he ignored them.

I did it again! LOL.

Depends. Can you get on IRC? Can you keep up with the posting rate? Get on IRC right now and we'll talk in #BsM.

The Game · Post by **The Game** » Mon Jun 28, 2010 11:42 pm

Going to BsM!! Woot!!!

Name: California (Cali) Stait (said like State)

Species: Dog (golden retriever)

Age: 17.5 (5 pet)

Appearance: Cali is a dark brown all over he body, except for a lone streak of white on her forehead. Her eyes are gray, and change color a lot. Her collar is black, with a 'thumbs up' tag. She also wears a baseball cap (backwards). There's a small scar on her forearm, from a fight she got into.

Personality: Cali is a tomboy. She loves nothing more then getting dirty and playing video games. She's always smiling, and would only get mad at someone if they're doing something really bad. She's a loyal dog, and makes friends easily, though she's usually more comfortable hanging around guys then girls. She's eager to play a game, any kind, and can do things, like random acts of kindness, to make people's day. Sometimes, she takes them a smidgen too far...

Other Notes:
Cali has been with the same owner since she was a puppy, and loves him to death. She's very protective of him.
Cali once got into a nasty fight with a gang of dogs, and came out on top, but had to go to the vet for days.
She's deathly afraid of the vet (like she faints on the spot every time she's there afraid).

SPECIAL:
S-7
P-6
E-7
C-4 (guys usually see her has 'just a friend')
I-6
A-8
L-4

Hum dum...added more to Trinket's personality based on how I have had to play him in the RP. I also added the activation affect of the collar, namely its ability to repel ghosts (which I had mentioned before). I also added a little activation effect for the pendent too (echo chamber voice!), so check that out and see if it's okay.

Pifer is at the BBQ

If you want, you can run into SHeps dad(Robert) he is standing infront of his house looking for other pets to invite.

@TheGame

If your going to run into people/pets you should put a side note explaining who you ran into so the everyone knows who you are referring to and thus can react properly. (if you dont specify people wont be sure who you ran into)

JOFOXX · Post by **JOFOXX** » Tue Jun 29, 2010 12:38 pm

Also, The Game, you need to pick an unused color for your character's speech. The current colors being used can be found in the first BsM OOC post.

No. Too dark. And this is why we have the 24-hour rule. I didn't say to break it, but you did. I'm going to assume that you didn't realize this. But please stop for a bit.
Go back and Reread the first post of this OOC thread. There are rules for joining listed in it.

Try #0000B2, #0040B2, or #4000B2

---------------- Unrelated Edit: ----------------
I just changed Rikki and Taku's ages. Take note.

jeezum pete....

I love the fact i broke numerous rules in like, 1 one post. I think that's a new record for me.

ok many questions..
1) what's the 24 hour rule?
2) do I have to have a color?
3) am I going to get this thing right anytime soon?
4) should i delete my post?
5) can i delete my post?
6) are there any other rules I'm breaking??

Scroll down below the character-list and ToC, and you'll find "House Rules" and "Joining Process". It's not that hard.

The beat down? It's pretty much over once he swallows. Sid wants him to eat dirt because he figures it will humiliate a rich cat. Once it's over, Sid's gonna give him a clean slate.
Of course, remember that Sid IS mildly insane, so if this doesn't make sense to you, don't bother.

"The Rules" are simple. You wait ONE DAY to post with your character. You PICK A COLOR so we can IDENTIFY YOUR CHARACTER better. That's pretty much it honestly...

Im not saying this about anyone.. kinda... But you see, some people, including myself, see there characters as versions of there own personality, thus if you characters mouth is shoved full of dirt, its almost like an insult to the rp'er himself, therefore he makes his character cool with it to avoid embarrassment.

RockstarRaccoon · Post by **RockstarRaccoon** » Tue Jun 29, 2010 11:52 pm

I might just be whining out of annoyance here, but from now on, when something extreme like that is going on, we need to have less characters. There are WAY too many characters in the same place at once, focusing around one character acting psychotic, and it's making everything too hard to follow, especially when other characters are specifically positioned to interfere, and especially when they do it in only one post.

When Trinket was futilely trying to break it up, it was ok, because he wasn't really muddling up the main train of events. Rikki and Pifer just chatting about it from a distance was good, everything was clear. Sam, Cale, and Zeke watching was good. when 10 characters started panicking in unison, it crumbled into something that was too hard to follow.

Thrasher, you shouldn't have just positioned Shep specifically to run in at that moment, especially not when you were about to leave. (By that I mean that you purposefully moved him in front of the house and had him notice and run off specifically so he could break up a fight that's been lead up to by several arcs, which is kind of annoying when you're playing a character who's worked out an elaborate plan of action, and is fueled by his own insanity) The train of actions was barely staying on track, and Shep coming out of nowhere to break it up crashed it, leaving everyone sputtering, trying to figure out what had happened.

JOFOXX · Post by **JOFOXX** » Wed Jun 30, 2010 1:03 am

I have an idea. Why don't we keep these crazy episodes to a minimum?

JOFOXX wrote:I have an idea. Why don't we keep these crazy episodes to a minimum?

Nope. Can't do that. My character's insane. >:|

Edit: Also, I just realized that in that post that was irrelevant because of lateness, Shep might have gotten himself attacked by Sid, who is actually capable of maiming him.

Another Edit: Ok, so it looks like Xuan's group is ready to just skip to the point where they just show up at the party soon. That means everyone's in there. (Except Zuchinni, who I'm hoping will pop his head over the fence and come into what he can tell is an open party, or something? What happened to Metaecho??)
