We Are Family

Sled Dog Team

¸.·'★¸.·'★*·~-.¸-(★ Introduction ★)-,.-~*¸.·'★¸.·'★

On the border of Alaska, your family lives together with a small group of dogs. These dogs you treat just like family. They are your family. The annual sled dog racing tournament is coming up. You weren't eligible before, for you were too young or your parents believed it was too dangerous for their child to go out onto the ice, risking their life, and the dogs just for some stupid trophy. You wouldn't have given it a second glance either, if it were not for the flyer that came in the mail. 'In need of mushers' and dogs!' it said, in giant big bold letters at the top. Below it the guidelines for competing. Your eyes scan over it quickly and you debate tossing it in the trash. But then at the bottom of the paper in small words; '$10,000 prize for 1st place.'
Your hand trembles while holding the paper, and you keep re-reading those words. Suddenly, the race becomes real, very real indeed. A plan forms in your mind..you met the requirements, you have your own sled and a pack of dogs. A few hundred miles and a week out in the snow? Easy. You know Alaska like the back of your hand.
It takes a little bit of convincing for your parents, but soon your driving to City Hall four miles away to sign up. You head back home, the image of the $10,000 stuck in your head.

Although Alaska is very beautiful, during the winter it can be dangerous. Especially when you're starving, wandering through the path marked for you, and the only thing that can possible give you protection are the tired dogs in front of you, pulling at your sled until they drop. It's also pretty dangerous when you have oodles and noodles of food packed away on top of your sled to feed your dogs. What could be out there? Lions..tigers..bears..Oh my! No, not lions and tigers, but bears like these ones XxX XxX XxX XxX you are almost guaranteed to find along your way. Oh, they may look adorable and fuzzy and oh-so-playful, but when they're charging at you, going up to speeds like 40 MPH, and their mouth is open so wide you can see down their throat? You'll be thinking about how this cute cuddly creature is ripping you and your team to shreds as you die. Very pleasant. Going near cubs as well aren't a very good idea either. You can bet the mama will be near, and she won't be very pleased with you taking snapshots of her babies, or trying to pet them. If you veer off the trail, you'll most likely get lost. There are a few landmarks along the way to guide you, although you have to find most of them by actually looking. Watch out for these two landmarks. They may be covered in snow, or just barely hidden out of sight. XxX XxX The trail is exactly 632 miles long! XxX I suggest you be careful, having a helicopter and a pack of dogs looking for you the Alaskan wilderness is not fun, it's very challenging.

• Each musher will have a partner to ride on the sled with.
• You must be at least 17 years of age.
• Your dogs must have paperwork from the vet stating they are fit and healthy.
• You must have your own dogs. The state will not provide them for you. However, we will give you a sled if you do not have one of your own.
• Only the proper tools to survive in the wilderness can be carried with you. No electronics, books, games.

¸.·'★¸.·'★*·~-.¸-(★ RP Rules ★)-,.-~*¸.·'★¸.·'★

• Follow all of Tess's rules!
• No godmodding/powerplaying/Mary-Sues/Gary-Sues. Your musher and your dog/s..they aren't perfect. A single dog killing a grizzly bear without dying is a example of powerplaying. I'm not even sure a whole pack of dogs can ward off a grizzly! Your character cannot be beautiful, genius, hilarious or the greatest thing since sliced bread.
• Don't fight in OOC. :C It makes people very sad. On the other hand, characters are free to fight it out whenever they feel is necessary.
• Drama makes the RP very fun. *Cues violins*
• Don't commit suicide for a stupid reason. :3
• Don't kill someone else's character without permission.
• Try and fix your spelling/grammar for Gods' sake! I understand if you miss spell words if you're using a mobile device, but at least try and fix it if you're on the computer. I mess up with the location of my apostrophes..so I understand if you get it wrong. The red line under the words bugs me, so I just put it where ever to make it go away. :3
• I encourage romantic relationships! Just remember Tess's rules.
• Don't join, RP for a little bit, then never come back. :( It's rude.
• Please tell me if you're about to leave..I hate RPing with someone, they disappear, I use that character for someone else and when they get back they get all mad at me. >.< Don't do that. I get annoyed. Also tell me if you're going on vacation/won't be on for a little while. If you leave with no warning for at least a week, I will be forced to take you off the members list. :3 Sorry.
• Have as many characters as you can control. :3
• Try to make your posts look nice! Unless your writing is awesome and I love reading it. Then you are excused.
• Have fun!!
• I expect you to make dogs. I will only be accepting a certain amount of mushers, as well as dogs but we need a ton more dogs than people. The race will most likely not start until we get everyone. :3
• If you want your dog to be a lead dog, you have to ask me. :P Your form will give me answers.

•Holly•

~Ƭнɛ βαƨιcƨ~
Name:
Holly Amber White
Nickname(s):
"Holly. Anything else you want to call me?"
Gender:
Girl.
Age:
17
Other:

~Ƨмιℓɛ~
Hair color:
"I'm a brunette."
Eye color:
Blue.
Skin tone:
Fair.
Height:
5'5"
Weight:
120 lbs.

~Ƥɛяƨσиαℓ~
Personality:
Holly is shy, and prefers to keep to herself. To strangers, she's a loner but to her friends she's the funny and wild outgoing girl that seems to make everyone smile. She's very creative, and was considering going to a art school, but has decided to stay in Alaska to compete in the sled dog race. She can be quite humorous, although in a crowd she's known to stumble on her words and stutter and make a big fool of herself, same with guys that she has a crush on. She's very clean and neat, very organized. Holly is also a perfectionist.
History:
Holly was born in a normal family with a twin brother and two older siblings as well as a younger one. Holly's older brother got arrested because of vandalism, and the White parents decided they must move to a place far away to try and clear everything up. That place was Alaska. Soon Holly grew older, and because of her genius ability, she finished high school in 3 years instead of four. She's looking for a school that specializes in the arts, but she postponed her search due to the race. As soon as she gets out, she'll continue searching again. She's bound to be accepted anywhere she goes because of her grades.

Nickname(s):
Tommy, Flynn.
Gender:

Age:

Other:

~Ƨмιℓɛ~
Hair color:
Dark brown.
Eye color:
Pale green.
Skin tone:
Tan.
Height:
6'4"
Weight:
"143. All muscle, baby."

~Ƥɛяƨσиαℓ~
Personality:
Tom knows he's good looking, but he doesn't really show it off. He may be cocky, and he's definitely good at sports. His favorites are soccer and football. He's sweet with girls, and around their parents he's a total gentleman. When he's just with the guys, he becomes a whole new person. He's funny as well, and he likes playing video games. He can be a total pushover though, he has a temper and gets into fights often. Did I mention that he's a total flirt?(Perv xD) And stubborn?
History:
Tommy has been living in New York City for more than half his life. They moved here after his mom got a better job offer. When Tommy was young, his dad left him and his mom. His mom really didn't know how to speak English either, only Spanish, and they were extremely poor. After long, hard years his mother finally went to college. Life got a whole lot easier for the two of them. His mom married another guy, and she got pregnant. Along comes Cassie. Then her husband dies of cancer, leaving them alone yet again. Her husband left behind a bunch of money, but his mom is saving that for some special reason, probably for college or emergencies. Tommy still has to work a full time job at the mechanics to keep them steady. He figured trying for the race would be good. Even if he didn't win $10,000, he'd get some money to help everyone out.

Personality:
Digit is the type of dog that always encourages everyone else. Sometimes her positive attitude can get really annoying. She's optimistic as well. Basically she's a happy go lucky dog that knows how to get what she wants. Her cuteness and mischievousness get her into a ton of trouble, but she's quickly forgiven. She's really quick on her feet, and if she gets loose you can expect several hours and a few traps to get her back.

She does have a few things that tick her off though, but they're such small things that no one would really do it unless it was to annoy her. She doesn't often bark, she prefer to be kept silent and she hates being left out of things too.

He enjoys the attention, but he really doesn't care that much. He's just focused on racing, which is his passion. He has a temper that he rarely shows to humans, but to other dogs they're used to his frequent nips. It takes a lot for him to trust you, but when he does you can expect it's for life.

Get near him and risk getting your ears ripped off. He's not really much of a social dog. Sure he'll sit under the table and beg for left overs, but with other dogs he's desolate and solitary.
