And I'm walking it one paw step at a time So, here's our planning page, Harv! To everyone wondering, we're making a semi-advanced/advanced dog roleplay. We're not actively looking for helpers, however, if you do have an interest in helping, I'm sure we won't mind - just remember that we have the final say so and have the right to reject ideas. Lurkers are fine and welcome though! <3 So...uhm...yeah? Idk what else to put. xD
What we have so far:
Main Plot It takes place in a city. Will include 4 groups people can join from, one of these groups being a 'tyrannical' gang of dogs that own most of the city and often terrorize the other strays and their rivals, a peaceful, loose 'pack' of some sort. Will also include housedogs. A later, post plot will be a devastating event of some kind that forces the dogs to cooperate and abandon the city together. This may transition the rp to something totally new in general { like a wild dog rp } but that'll be for much future discussion.
A deeper look at the rankings
The Housedogs a.k.a the pampered pooches - Your everyday canine that lives with humans. Some are pampered and live a life of comfort and luxury, but most are your average Joe housedog. They are middle class, not treated as high and mighty, but definitely not looked down upon either. Some hate strays while some are more tolerant but the general thought is that stray dogs are savages. It's best to avoid the rich pooches though. Some even seem to be in cahoots with the Night Howlers.
The Gang a.k.a The Night Howlers - A large group of savages, or...that's what other dogs think of this pack. The dogs of the gang have the largest organization in the city, and they have conquered quite a lot of area. The canines here are merciless, cold, and very violent. The are feared by most, if not all, and it is advised that you stay far, far away from them. While loyalty may not bind them, you mess with one of their dogs, and The King is surely to hear about it.
The Loose Pack a.k.a The Shepherds - A smaller pack of dogs that have no intent other than to provide others safety from the Gang. Their members are few, but they all treat each other like friends and family. Some have actually been part of the Gang, others are just dogs who want to escape the cruel reality of the city life.
Strays - Strays are dogs who live alone, or with a very tiny pack at the least. They are carefree loners who live a free, but dangerous, life. Strays are clever and street smart, self-trained in the city's rhythm, and some wouldn't be too objective about lending a helping paw to those who need it Of course, you have those few that are best to be left alone.
A deeper look into The Night Howlers
The Night Howlers are divided into different ranks. The Lead Rank is called The King. This dog is the top dog, and in the simplest way to put it, the big bad boss. The next rank down is The King's small group of second in command dogs called The Elites. They hold the second most power, but often do fight against each other to be the 'top dog' of this second ranking. They're often among the strongest dogs in the pack - second in strength only to The King. The next rank down is the 'meat' of the gang. They're known as The Grunts and are your average pack members. Lower than that is The Street Rats who could be considered the 'omegas' of the packs. They are given little respect and are often bullied within the pack or bossed around or given menial tasks. Their food is often taken from them and they are typically weaker dogs, be it they're older, smaller, or perhaps even a dog that was demoted to the rank as a punishment.
Customs within The Night Howlers
Trial of the Weak - While not often performed, this gruesome custom serves as both an entertainment to The King and a way to 'purge the weak' from the gang. It is a three day trial in which [ more information here ].

Thankies! <3
And yus welcome to the evil lair where we plot destruction roleplays! <3 Alrightie! So first thing would probably be to lay down a concrete idea on what we're doing, yus? I was thinking the simplest/most 'free' thing to do is a stray dog {without housedogs included} sort of thing? There's also a sort of 'pack' option or such?

Mwahahaha~ No prob. ;3
Mm, I like that. Maybe it starts off with either a group of stray dogs which eventually turns into a pack, two rivaling "gangs" of dogs, or maybe just a casual street roleplay.

Of course you can Sky. ^^
Right~! Honestly, originally I was going to base this off of a dog rp I co-owned a while ago. It included a dog pack who ruled quite a bit of the city/wherever they lived and was a brute and a tyrant and most of the dogs in his gang was pretty much the same. It then included a more 'looser' form of a dog pack of some kind, the 'junkyard' dogs is what we called them. And then we also had housedogs as well. The rp was set to be sort of the rivaling tension between the two. I think we eventually planned for something big to happen { like an earthquake } that would otherwise devastate the land and force the dogs to leave together.

Not too much~! We're just planning out the main idea for the rp before we can get to the finer details. Honestly, I don't see us having to do too much work since this is much easier than making a clan and if we do use ideas I had from previous dog rp's I've made, it should be fairly easy then. ^^

Are you looking at this being a Survivors-esque RP?

Okie dokie. Since I wouldn't want to keep you guys waiting the whole day, I'll chime in now. I think Silv's plot is fine; I like the earthquake thing as well. Maybe once they all disband, they'll be forced to travel together to a new territory.
Other than that, I think we're all set. Any other ideas? c:

Okay, coolio! Although that whole earthquake thing is more of a post plot. It's sorta like with the warriors series how they first had all the drama between the clans and fighting and stuff before and then in the second series, they had to search for a new home.
And yus! So..lets see here, I can pull some information from my memory of what we did in the other rp similar to this, but I'm pretty...forgetful dumb, so yeah! But it would mostly be establishing the different thingies in the rp. So we have the housedogs, the 'gang' like dogs, and then the...strays? Or should we add another 'pack' {not really a pack, but dogs who sort of live together/hide from the tyranny of the gang/stick up for one another - but are very loose } and then have stray dogs who stay neutral in the whole thingy separate? So it'd be like; housedogs, the gang, the 'loose' coolio pack, the strays?

Ohh, I see now. That'd work well. Yep! And ahm...I've come up with some small descriptions of the four groups we've got here~
The Housedogs - Your everyday canine that lives with humans. Some are pampered and live a life of comfort and luxury, but most are your average Joe housedog. They are middle class, not treated as high and mighty, but definitely not looked down upon either.
The Gang ( It can be called The Gang; maybe have an alternate name ) - A large group of savages, or...that's what other dogs think of this pack. The dogs of the gang have the largest organization in the city, and they have conquered quite a lot of area. The canines here are merciless, cold, and very violent. The are feared by most, if not all, and it is advised that you stay far, far away from them.
The Loose Pack ( Maybe have a name like 'The Peacemakers' or something of that nature. Just an idea. ) - A smaller pack of dogs that have no intent other than to provide others safety from the Gang. Their members are few, but they all treat each other like friends and family. Some have actually been part of the Gang, others are just dogs who want to escape the cruel reality of the city life.
Strays - Strays are dogs who live alone, or with a very tiny pack at the least. They are carefree loners, and most aren't that threatening - however, you can never be too sure. Strays are clever and street smart, self-trained in the city's rhythm, and some wouldn't be too objective about lending a helping paw to those who need it.

Yus, perfect! I love the descriptions for them all! Although, would you mind if I added a wee bit to the strays to make them a bit broader in term? Sort of an add in just because not all strays are...kind per say considering one of my own stray characters will prob be a jerk-face xD. But otherwise, you did great! <3
Now, we should probably come up with names for the gang and the pack~! The gang could be a two part name, similar to a warriors name? It'd have to be...edgy basically. xD And stated in a manner such as "we're called the 'Bloodblah' gang" or "we're called the bloodblah's" Or it could be a single word name, such as 'oblivion'...in which 'Oblivion gang' wouldn't make sense, but if they just referred to themselves as a gang called Oblivion so like, "we're oblivion." or something that sounds....better. It really just depends on what we decided and omg I'm rambling I'm sorry. xD

Oh, no, you're fine. And actually, you're right; strays don't just include the friendly, carefree "loners"; there are the hostile rogues too. I should've elaborated on that.
Hah...I'm at a loss for names. But, yeah, edgy it is! XD It'd also have to be something that sounds intimidating. I found some names I think would work, though there might be better options out there. Some of them sound a little bit silly. ^^"
The Fang Soldiers The Crimson Fangs The Anarchy The Growlers The Blooddrops The Devildogs/Devil Dogs The Nighthowlers/Night Howlers

OHhhh I really like the Night Howlers and the Crimson Fangs <3 I'm leaning towards the Night Howlers though~! A few of the ideas I had was; The Shadow Dogs/Dark Dogs The Hell hounds { this sounds cool i'll admit but would people be offended by that? not sure } The Grim The Red Claw The White Fang Idk But I really like the ones I mentioned before that you made - they're so good <3

Hmm...maybe some people would be offended. But I still do like it! I was thinking of putting the ones we like into a random picker, and then pick one out all of them.

Well technically hellhounds refer to the creatures themselves? I'm not sure, {since people are okay with demons and such} but, okay! I think it would be easier to help narrowing it down if we chose our top favorite 3 to put into said randomizer?

Post by Mᴏᴏɴ - - on Nov 28, 2016 18:43:29 GMT -5
Yeah, the literal hellhounds was just what I was thinking! I think don't think it'd be that bad; we can still use it.
Okie, it's done. I put in 'Hellhounds', 'Night Howlers', and 'Crimson Fangs', and the winner was...'Night Howlers'.

Okay, night howlers it is! Now, for the 'peaceful' pack thingy. Idk why, but, 'the shepherds' automatically came to mind...possibly because of fire emblem awakening but yeah xD Uhm...hm...lets see...

Oh, actually, "The Shepherds" is a great name. Maybe "The Liberators" or "The Freedom Fighters" ( which is actually the name of a righteous gang of mine~! )

Oh gosh I'm stuck between it again. T^T I love both the Shepherds and the freedom Fighters. A way to decide is how we see them. Freedom Fighters comes to me as a more righteous group who actively fight against the night howlers? The shepherds sound more peaceful and loose, as though they my try and stop the night howlers, but, are more focused on keeping the dogs within their ranks safe and such? Personally, I think the shepherds might fit?

You're quite right. I say we go with The Shepherds; it sounds less bold, in a way, haha.

Okie, The Shepherds it is! So, we got the names down then, great!<3
Should we include any sort of 'code' for either two groups? I think a sort of strict/dark code for the night howlers would be cool. I'm not sure if the shepherds should have one? And if they do, it should definitely not be strict or such? Maybe just a guidelines/saying they have? Like a motto?
