Realistic or Modern Unlucky ~ Dog Roleplay ~ Open!

[Afropuppy]

Interested, still open?

You bet! We barely started actually

 

[Quiddles]

Is this closed now or is there room for one more?

 

[Afropuppy]

Quiddles Room for a few more!

Yay! Rather than play my own dog (because he is too much of a spoiled princess to survive in this sort of setting even if he is bred to catch rabbits and break the speed limit), here is...

Saga!


Name: Saga
Age: One-and-a-half
Gender: Female
Breed: Norwegian Lundehund​

Appearance: Brown-and-white, a foot tall and all of thirteen pounds, with weird-looking feet. Double-coated, with ears that can go from pricked to flat to airplaned and a tail that can go from straight down to curled into a complete loop. Most people are unfamiliar with her breed and will likely assume she's either a crossbred or perhaps a klee kai or some other I-think-she's-an-insert-breed-here guess.
Personality: A carefree daredevil who loves heights and small spaces. Friendly with anyone who doesn’t respond with aggression, cuddly, energetic and remarkably agile. If she's your friend she would throw herself into a fiery pit to help you; if you make yourself her enemy you'll probably find yourself the target of many pranks. Can seldom resist a dare.
Backstory: One of her earliest memories is being taken from her littermates, put into a crate alone, spending a long, long, LONG time with strange noises and smells and vibration, and being taken back out of the crate in a place that smelled completely different, surrounded by humans she’d never seen before who spoke with words she’d never heard before. She settled quickly in her new country, finding herself in a family with four children and loving every moment fof it- even when they pulled her ears and tail in play. She did repeatedly get into trouble though- for figuring out how to get onto counters, onto tables, into cupboards, into bins, even up to the top of bookshelves and over the back yard fence, and how to open bolts and latches. Her hunting instincts also put an end to the family hamster; her humans were rather upset about that, but that didn’t stop her from catching any bird or rat brave enough to venture into her yard.
When her family vanished she missed them all dreadfully, but her instincts and skills have meant that she’s mostly survived very well without them. It didn’t take many days of hunger for her to work out that the animals she’d been catching tasted good, and she's learning to be a resourceful and clever hunter. Her one big failing is her poor sense of danger. She assumes that everyone dog-shaped is friendly, and that her agility and wits will always be enough to get herself out of trouble. She’s taken to ranging further and further afield, lonely and looking for a new pack to be part of.
Dogs you know: None yet

Other: Lundehunds are a really interesting breed. They were originally used to hunt puffins in cliff faces. Compared to other dogs they have extra toes on their feet- six toes, all fully jointed and muscled, almost as good as opposable thumbs. They also have extra bones in their necks and are super flexible, able to turn their forelegs out ninety degrees to the sides. Their ears are more mobile than other dogs’ ears as well. They are prone to digestive trouble which means they do best on a high-protein, high-fat diet and need to avoid grain-based food.
...hope she looks okay?

Interested for sure!

 

[Rumble Fish]

Age:
5 (Human years)

Gender:
Female

Breed:
Irish Wolfhound x German Shepherd

Appearance:
With the height of the Irish Wolfhound and build of the Alsatian, Ran is a behemoth of a dog. She has a marbled coat with a black snout and brown eyes. One ear is torn from an altercation with another dog in her puppyhood. Her default expression of irritation and/or annoyance can scare some off coupled with her size but her eyes have a soft enough gaze to ultimately leave a gentle impact.

Personality:
Ran is a serious soul, laconic and unlikely to show her true emotions in the company of others. However, her stoic nature can be easily shattered through loyalty and a sense of protectiveness. While she enjoys her own company, she is not above interacting with others. A quick way to her heart would be to share your food with her. Ran prefers a slower pace in life but can rise to the occasion and is a formidable fighter if she has to.

Backstory:
Ran does not remember much before she was bought by a kind Japanese man for his family. She enjoyed a good life on the family's estate with plenty of space to run and children to play with. Despite her serious nature, she still had much patience for the children and allowed them to climb and play on her. However, after a few happy years, something changed. Ran did not know what, but it caused the family to suddenly leave their large home and move into the city. This was a problem for Ran as it was small. Despite being walked by all four members of the family, it was a strain on the dog, causing her to develop claustrophobia.

When the humans vanished, Ran was in the care of a family member, who locked her in a small room at night. Ran was able to chew her way out of the room after a couple of days and has been roaming on her own since. Her sheer size is normally enough to scare off any threat that comes her way. Due to her limited contact with other dogs, she is not the best versed with canine society and prefers human company. Living with other dogs is not completely out of the question however.

Dogs you know:
None

Other:
Can read Japanese due to her human family.

Hi! I got the link thank you, thanks for accepting me

 

[queanbean]

WolfieGamer57 you have to make a character sheet here first.

 

[WolfieGamer57]

Name: Nina
Age: 10 (dog years)
Gender: F
Breed: Golden brown terrier
Appearance: Matted and dirty golden fur, long tail, one floppy ear that is only straight when she's suprised
Personality: She's very annoying, and is almost always asking questions, but can be useful for doing things only little dogs can do. She's very sneaky and almost always finds out things she shouldn't, as she is curious and inquisitive by nature.
Backstory: Nina's story here began with a life-threatening injury to her head, and awoke from a coma just a few days ago. She survived and has no lasting damage other than the occasional headache, but has a hard time remembering anything before she woke up.
Dogs you know: None yet.
Other: Isn't scared of bigger dogs.

Let me know if this is okay. Sorry about the inconvenience I caused.

Accepted!

Just gonna ask for a small adjustment: We have decided that we're going realistic enough for our dogs to not be able to see colours well (like actual dogs) so idk is she would be able to see what purple is

 

[InTheSea]

Just wanna post this here since I had brought it up a while ago!

So that pink sweater Kirah found would probably look a bluish-brown possibly. I wonder if I could find out the exact tone haha

Oh that's interesting

Looking at my actual dog's play pen except for her toys she sees everything pretty much like it is actually

Oh it's not that bad actually xD It's just not pink

Aight, thank you so much!!

 

[Afropuppy]

Sooo what I'm getting is that my dog sees herself as a banana? Ok good to know xD

Original pic:

 

[Quiddles]

This is why the dog can't easily spot that bright orange ball in the green grass- to the dog, they're more or less the same colour. Of course, their nose is about 40 times more sensitive than ours, so they can probably smell it just fine.

 

[Yahhah]

(I thought up another character so I hope no one minds if I put it down).

Name: Rufus

Age: 10(Human Years)

Gender: Male

Breed: Bloodhound

Appearance:

Personality: Rufus is an easy going dog, he is quite lazy though loyal to just about any human or dog he sees reason to be. He is easily distracted by smells and finds tracking something interesting very hard to resist. Rufus does quite well for himself for being such an old dog but he is still quite an old dog. He is nowhere near as energetic as he once was and the old dog sometimes loses his train of thought when speaking.

Backstory: Rufus comes from a farm, he was born there and he grew up on the farm, when he outgrew it he was taken by a trainer to be used for law enforcement. Rufus went through being trained for law enforcement, when he wasn't tracking down lost people Rufus lived with his trainer as a beloved pet. Rufus lived that comfortable though useful life for a long time until he eventually got too old. He wasn't fast enough and his eyesight was fading. Even though Rufus's nose was still as sharp as ever he just couldn't keep up anymore. The hound went into retirement, but his trainer still kept him. His trainer had been old when he got Rufus and so the man and dog went into retirement together. They moved to a large city when the disaster struck. Rufus was confused for the first day his human disappeared. His master hadn't left him for that long in such a long time. When the second day rolled around Rufus found a way outside. He couldn't believe his human had abandoned him, he must be trapped somewhere. Rufus set about to attempt to find his lost master, and on the way he realized it seemed every human had disappeared as well.

Dogs you know: None unless someone would like to collaborate.

[Afropuppy]

Name: Sherpa

Age: 4

Gender: Female

Breed: Shih Tzu mix

Appearance:

Personality: Sherpa is a very energetic, sweet dog. She loves company and enjoys being around humans, other dogs and even cats! Despite her name, which is more commonly used for sheep she isn't very sheepish and her curiosity often gets the best of her.

Backstory: Her owners got her from an adoption shelter in the city when she was still a puppy, so she barely remembers anything before that. Her original name was Cassandra but as she grew older and her coat started to remind them more and more of a sheep's, they did some research in common names for sheep and renamed her Sherpa! They never trained her to listen to her previous name so she didn't even notice the change. Before the plague, a retired trainer moved into the town so they persuaded him into teaching her the basics, they dropped her off at his house each day and picked her up after about two hours. Sherpa got to meet the trainer's dog, Rufus, and when the plague hit she caught his smell and eventually found him as they were both left behind.

Dogs you know: Rufus

Other: Sherpa is actually a real dog! Her name is Cassie and she lives in a shelter in New York City, waiting for a forever home. You can check out her adoption page here: Adopt Cassie on Petfinder

 

[Quiddles]

Thought I'd try another dog, to get interacting with some of the others. I know there's already a k-9 on the character thread, but here to try for approval is:

​

Name: Officer Diesel of the City Police Department

Age: 4.5 (Human years)

Gender: Male

Breed: Belgian Malinois

Appearance:



An inch over two feet tall at the shoulder and weighing in at sixty pounds. Diesel is visibly fit and healthy, with a glossy deep tan coat, sharp black muzzle and ears, strong black claws and sharp white teeth. A few scars mar his coat here and there- most noticeable being a long slash on his right side and a bullet scar on his left haunch. Lean muscle slips easily beneath his hide as he moves, unhindered by the scars. He carries himself with agile confidence, and his deep brown eyes regard the world with alert readiness.

Personality: Fearless, energetic, intelligent but inclined to use brute force first and to only try other options if that doesn't work. Unused to cooperating with other dogs. Impatient and easily bored, but steady and reliable (and happier) if there is a clear problem to be solved and a plan of action. He is unused to being without a human for guidance, which makes him grouchy and seemingly-arrogant as a mask for that uncertainty.

Backstory: Bred, raised and trained as a police K-9. Diesel has worked in the city as a dual patrol and narcotics detection dog, with his handler Officer Turpis, since graduating from training three years ago. In that time he has helped track and subdue many criminals, has located several hundred thousand dollars' worth of illegal drugs, and has participated in police displays and educational presentations. Both he and his human bear scars from injuries received in the course of their duties, but nothing that has prevented them from operating at full capability once healed up and nothing that has deterred Diesel from his duties.

Diesel was originally evacuated from the city with the humans when the place was abandoned, but was brought back in by his handler and the animal rescuers to help locate surviving dogs. A collapsing building trapped him during the search. His human believed he had been killed in the collapse, and, grieving his loss, departed with the animal rescuers. Diesel was not dead, nor even injured. He eventually managed to dig himself out, and when he found the trail of the departing vehicles too old and muddled to track, decided to continue following his earlier orders- to locate the dogs left behind in the city. He has no idea what to do with any he finds, but he does like to have a plan and at least finding them is a plan. He misses his handler fiercely, but unless he picks up a smell he can follow he doesn't know how to go about finding the human again.

Dogs you know: Rufus, perhaps while Rufus was still working and Diesel was still in training (Rufus may well consider him to be an overeager young whippersnapper ). He may know any of the strays by smell and perhaps sight, from his patrols in the city.

An inch over two feet tall at the shoulder and weighing in at sixty pounds.

Good thing I can't fall asleep easily xD

Diesel's accepted! Since he knows Rufus I'm guessing he's going on the second group right? His training may actually be a way for the groups to meet eachother at some point later in the roleplay, and who knows how that will go (My guess: not well)

Anyways he's accepted, as you already know since you're not new you can go make a starter post whenever you would like but if he's specifically going in the second group I would suggest making it post-timeskip because that's when that group (if Yahhah agrees?) will probably start posting

 

[Yahhah]

I don't mind waiting so post time skip sounds okay.

 

[InTheSea]

I actually make a second character for this literally when we started but never posted him lmao.
