Hello, Fox here! So as the title claims I'm looking for someone to roleplay with possibly as canines. I was thinking maybe friends to lovers set in a apocalypse type world or maybe even a certain time period like Rome during the gladiator days. Or if you refer to roleplay as humans, I'm okay with that as well.
[ lgbq+ is welcomed as well ]

Canines? I'd be down for that. If you'll have me, that is. I've never done an 1x1 RP before.

Hello (: and sure I've never actually roleplayed as canines since I was never really interested in the Survivors books but eh I thought I'd give it a go.

Hey (: I've only read the first Survivors book so I don't know much about that either. A couple years ago I roleplayed some dogs in a Ginga rp and some wolves in a wolf rp so it's not like I've never roleplayed canines before. It's been a while, though.
Are there any specific canines you prefer?

I enjoy large dogs kind of? Like german shepherds and such. But I also like Mixed breeds too.
What kind do you prefer?

For me it's mostly German Shepherds and Siberian Huskies and to some extend Border Collies. Mixed breeds are good, too. About the setting. You mentioned an apocalyptic world or Rome during the gladiator days. Both sound interesting.
For the first one, do humans still exist and how much of an issue are they? But the second idea sounds really good, too.

Alright (:
How many characters do you want to do?
Yeah I really only did the apocalypse because that seemed like the go-to setting for a canine role-play lol xDD Honestly was leaning more towards the second idea, like strays trying to survive during the rome days idk

Let's do the rome one then (: As for characters, one or two would be good, I guess. Three at most but I prefer just two characters. What about you?

Rome it is then (: Two is fine for me. Now about the plot, I feel should have drama and such.

Oh, definitely. So... how do our canines get themselves some drama? Since this is about strays trying to survive there's got to be something. Is it every dog for themselves or do some of them form small groups to have a better shot at surviving? And since this is set during the gladiator days, are those Venatio games a thing? You know, lions and other ferocious beasts against humans or dogs? Maybe this could be the fate of strays who aren't careful enough. Just a few things we could establish before we come up with the basic plot. It could also be relevant for the backstory of one or two characters.

Pineclaw - - - - Maybe a mix of groups. Like some strays feel that staying in a small group will help them survive the dangerous days ahead and others think they are tough enough to survive alone, which is usually a grave mistake on their parts.
Ooh I like that idea of the Venatio games! I actually planned on one of my doggos having a amputated hind leg because of being a gladiator dog. Maybe some times its a human they fight and other times its a lion?

Yeah, that makes sense with the groups and the loners. I was thinking that one of my characters was part of such a group but was kicked out. Because he or she accidentally caused one or two "pack members" to be captured or killed by humans.
Yes! I like that too. Sometimes they have to fight against a human and sometimes a lion. And at least against a human they might have a chance. Since you mentioned friends to lovers, maybe one of them could become a gladiator dog at some point or even start out as one, much to the dismay of the other one?

That sounds good ! And like maybe most of the groups are cautious of others because they don't want to be kidnapped and such.
Exactly ! (: And maybe they have a champion gladiator in humans and dogs? I was thinking my character with three legs used to be the champion but got kicked out because he refused to fight because he had gotten sick and the king (or whatever the romans called the leader) actually felt sympathy for the aged dog and let him just go (this may change who knows lol) + sure ! And maybe they try and make the gladiator dog see how dangerous he / she life is its shortened because they are a gladiator dog???

I guess most groups don't welcome strangers for that reason. And as for their own members, dogs who prove themselves to be reckless or even just clumsy are looked down on at best and kicked out at worst.
I love that idea, that there are champion gladiators. And that the three legged dog used to be one. That would be dangerous for the non-gladiator dog as well, wouldn't it? Constantly trying to see and warn the other dog. There would always be a chance they would be captured and maybe even thrown into the colosseum. As for the gladiator dog, I guess one of their reasons for not wanting to stop being one is simply the fact that they don't want to live in the streets anymore. Always having to fight is dangerous but at least they have a place to stay and some food.

The groups are very selective.
And the champions are treated like royalty well, to an extent of course. The three legged boy was one for maybe 5 years up until he got sick now he roams the streets trying to open the eyes of others that being a gladiator dog isn't a life you want. It's not as great as others make it seem kinda thing (Kind of want him to have a warrior wife lol).
Most of the gladiator dogs probably prefer not having to live on the streets. But yeah that's basically the dog's reason

Looks like there are quite a few dogs who would want to become a gladiator dog. Still, at least the ones who live in groups prefer to live on the streets. But there will be still enough dogs who need some convincing that a gladiator's live isn't as great as they think.
Hm... I still haven't decided which one of my characters used to be a part of such a group. Either the male or the female. Heck, having condemned a few of their former friends to a live of constant fighting, they would never want to share the same fate. Or maybe they'll get curious about that kind of live instead? So either they'll be the one who becomes a gladiator dog at some point or they'll be the other one who's against it.
A warrior wife, eh? Maybe my female character can become that one day xD

True.. Maybe my three legged dog can be that savior of all the strays? /shrugs/
Well, I know my female character is part of a group. She's small so they don't deem her as a threat at all. LOL
MAybe.

Well at least he can stop them from making bad decisions xD
I think my male character will be the unfortunate one who's gotten himself kicked out off a group, so he's a loner now. He'll either try to find a new group, without much success, or he'll seriously consider this gladiator thing.
Oh no, watch out for the tiny dog lol
My female character could either be part of your character's group or a member of a different one. If we do the latter I guess they won't get along too well since all the groups are probably more or less competing for every scrap of food.

I actually think we should make our characters form their own little group upon discovering how selective the others are possibly maybe. And yeah it would seem the groups would have to survive and fight to gather enough food and shelter.
would you like to do this though PMs or the usual thread?

Yeah, that makes sense. Do our characters (well, some of them) know each other already or will this be the first time they run into each other? I'm okay with either option.
I think through the usual thread is better. Knowing myself, I'll discover small mistakes upon posting so I definitely need to be able to edit it xD

Maybe they just know my three legged character since he was the champion for the longest time ? ? ? As well as possibly seeing each other around the streets .
That's fine ^ ^ Would you like to make it or should I ?

So they don't know each other well but have seen each other once or twice. Sure, let's do that ^^
Since you're the one who started this I think you should also make the rp thread (:
