What the heck am I doing up at 4 am in the morning? Eh, no matter, point being I'm strange.
(Just a question: are wolves/half wolves allowed to be RPed as main characters? Often times they are op. >.<. Unless we are doing this plot of course. )
Suddenly, when a newcomer comes chased by wolves, (He's my char, August, a former sheepdog.) the pack has to face the difficulty of sharing territory with stronger fighters, better hunters, etc. they have to overthrow the wolves.

(When I posted this thread, it was 3 AM. Don't sweat it.)
The RP is going to take place within the ruins of a human world, presently overgrown with new forests and overpopulated with feral animals. A mysterious epidemic killed off most of humanity around 1920; those remaining eventually perished, as well. Thus, dogs and other domesticated animals have had plenty of time to adapt and become landraces.
That's all I know. It's not the actual plot, per say, but it's something that will help when developing it.

(I forgot to mention that RPers are now free to claim a rank before applying. I wouldn't want you to miss out.)

Could I claim Alpha or Beta?//

I've already claimed Alpha. You can certainly have Beta, though.
Note that humanity went extinct around 1920, so the only breeds included within the pack should be those originating from years prior to 1920.

And as for the general idea, I think that is pretty cool.// Maybe the humans could have died off because they had destroyed many of the resources on Earth, and could no longer care for themselves. They were unable to survive. However, dogs, with their primitive hunting skills, were able to keep a small portion of their species alive, (remember, there is such a large population of dogs that a small portion is like thousands of them.) As the world overgrew they were able to pull their group back together, and returned to the former survival methods of their ancestors, wolves, and grouped into packs.
As for the conflicts: when the humans died, the bacterias in their body went into the oceans, etc, and were scattered around the world. Now they have begun to evolve once more into new life forms that can somehow affect the dogs....
Just something that I pulled out of my magical brain...

However, unlike extinction, which can occur within days, the process of evolving from bacteria to a sentient creature would take millions upon millions of years.
Sorry for seeming dismissive. I GTG. BRB

Oh nope. My char is available. Did some further research than wikipedia.
Would it be possible to have humans die in
No, not sentient life forms. These bacteria have been exposed to radiation, which is somehow affecting their food source. Dogs that are affected by these radioactive bacterias can hove some strange side affect to your decision, wether it be good or bad to the dog.

I don't know how a dog could know the word August, unless he was named by humans. But, since you've never voiced any opposition of the idea, I thought you agreed that the RP would take place after the extinction of humanity. [I'm sorry if it seems like I'm acting superior to you. I've made a habit of being arrogant without meaning to.]
But perhaps you could share your ideas with me and convince me to change the time in which the RP takes place. Even though I'm not very thrilled with the idea of seeing pet dogs witness the death of humanity, I want to know and understand your thoughts concerning the matter.
As for half-wolves? If they were adequate characters, they’d be accepted as pack members. The same goes for half-coyotes and half-foxes, as well as all other characters. Canid hybridization would doubtlessly occur in a human-free world, so I have no choice but to include them.
As for regular wolves, coyotes, and foxes, I’d only allow them as main characters if I believed them adequate. Non-dog main characters would also need to be associated with the main pack in some way, as this main dog pack is the focus of the RP.

Any suggestions?

I try. As for location, what used to be Yellowstone could be where they make their territory. That way there is a variety of animals and wildlife for them to interact with. Such as caribou, coyote, foxes, etc.

Perhaps dogs who eat dead humans exhibit strange behavior afterward. The idea is pretty gruesome, but I'm sure no animal could ignore the concept of an effortless meal. [That is, if the RP takes place around human extinction.]Something within me is telling me that no one would want to RP eating their own species as a dog, so. . . . . Let's just ignore this.

Yep yep. South America could be interesting. Although they have no wolves, they do have canidae species such as jackals, short eared dogs, culpeo, several kinds of foxes, and Chillas. If they lived in Yellowstone they would have wolves, foxes, and coyotes, as well as bison, caribou and small prey. Keep in mind that I am no expert with SA fauna, so I can't list as much as I can about Yellowstone.

Such as caribou, coyote, foxes, etc. Yellowstone is a good suggestion, although a dog pack settling there is questionable. There's a lot of competition. However, there's also a lot of prey. . . .
A vacant human settlement or a ridge lowering into a pine forest would be interesting.

Yeah... South America has a pretty unique variety of canidae. Yeah, it does. It'd be intriguing to have an RP take place there. The only thing that concerns me is that I don't know much about these particular canids. I suppose I need to start researching, then. . . . .

Keep in mind that I am no expert with SA fauna, so I can't list as much as I can about Yellowstone. In Yellowstone, it'd be interesting to see different canids interacting with one another; of that I am certain.
We've been talking for a while and haven't gotten anywhere. I'll list the pros and cons of either location. You can add more, if you'd like.
SOUTH AMERICA Interesting canidae Unique location
YELLOWSTONE Many canidae species Lots of prey and water More familiar than SA

I feel like the SA location would make it much more of a unique RP. BAD NEWS: Unfortunately, wolves were introduced to Yellowstone in 1995, long after 1920. Therefore, there wouldn't be any wolves in Yellowstone regardless of the time in which the RP took place.
GOOD NEWS: I'm going to allow non-canid playable characters in the RP, though there will have to be a limited amount of them, since it IS a canid-based RP, mostly dog-based.

Why is that bottom part italicized? Gee.
Anyways, about the non-canid characters: We need to know where the dogs will live before we make a list of non-canid playable characters, so. . . .
HMMM. I'm still kind of skeptical about South America. Although it's a creative idea, I'm unfamiliar with it. . . . It would be so original, though. . . . The problem is, I know so much more about American wildlife than I do South American wildlife. The only thing I know is that I REALLY want the pack to live in a place with many different species of wildlife in order to make the non-canid selection more interesting. Any more suggestions?
I know I'm being stubborn. SIGH. I'll go research some SA wildlife. BRB.

Hmm. South America IS pretty interesting. Biodiverse, too. . . .
Now we just need to know what part of South America we want the dogs to live in. I've just learned that there are MANY different terrains, from deserts to rainforests to glaciers, etc. Which terrain we choose will obviously determine which non-canid options we have. (I'm sure you already know this.)

Hmm. About the pack in general. . . . Let's say that it's a bit 'ragtag' in the beginning of the RP. The leader of this diverse pack is none other than a character I've begun to absentmindedly develop, Puppy. Yes, her name is Puppy. That'll be explained later. The Beta is August -- renamed, obviously.
I don't know. . . .
