If I'm not mistaken, the Survivors series has a similar premise of apocalypse dogs. I haven't read that and this is not related.
I was thinking this could take place many generations (probably 10+) after some sort of apocalypse which wiped out all of humanity and perhaps changed the world drastically. Best bets would be nuclear apocalypse or some sort of strange plague (currently liking the latter better). However, I'm open to other suggestions if you have them. The roleplay would take place in/around what used to be a human city (or at least, part of one), and the nature of the varying societies the dogs have developed.
I've typed this out twice already and something stupid has happened each time to delete so I'll be very concise this time.
The world (or at least this area) is divided into two very distinct societies. One lives within the ruins of what was once a city, while the other lives in the wastes and wilds beyond. The first consists mostly of true dogs, with little to no wild blood in them. Of these there are purebloods (who rule society), mixes/mixed breeds (dogs who are not of one particular breed but still fit into a "group" such as guard dogs, hounds, or herders), and mutts (dogs who are of mixed blood and do not fit into any one group). Within the city, breed and lineage are important and determine one's lot in life. Outside the city, on the other hand, breed doesn't matter- all canines are mixed in blood, between all sorts of North American (and sometimes more exotic) canines such as wolves and coyotes, as well as some "domestic" blood (generally from larger, more aggressive breeds). These canines live in more wolf-like packs, where value is not put on lineage but on one's ability to survive. Life here is crueler and more violent than in the city, but it is wild and free and the "mongrels" can make of their lives what they want.
The roleplay could really be as large or as small as necessary. It could focus on a particular area within and outside the city, or particular groups within those societies. There could be many "blocks" within the city and many "packs" outside, or just one of each, or one altogether. It really just depends on where the interest lies and how many people want to join. And of course, it can always be expanded later.
So, whose interested? I have a lot more info on each of the groups and how the dogs live, but I didn't type it out again because my computer hates me. Open to your thoughts and suggestions.
