...
it was awful. pain, terror, anger. you deserved none of it. death, regret, solitary. it wasn't your fault. fangs, claws, scars. there's no way out but to fight. fight, fight, fight. that was what you did, what you were. until it wasn't. until you were free and found the world outside to be even crueler than before. you were in the dog fights, you broke free. and then you were a stray. no one wants an ugly, scarred, bitter mutt fresh from the fights. so now you have become a stray since you were freed, but the dog that did it is dead. there is hope. a hope in a small band of strays that are like you, overcoming the side-effects of the fights. now, revenge is what you all dream for, and there is strength in numbers. now, we will fight back.


...they say just keep on fighting, but i've been fighting all these years...” ←

i. basics

    first off, read nick&tess' rules. i do not want anyone breaking them and consequently locking our thread. this means yes, of course there will be fights/skirmishes, but "no excessive violence."

    second, keep all characters realistic. there are no powers, no one walks away from fights unscathed, your dog is not blue, nor will there be "instant, love at first sight, together forever"s. please no god-modding or hoarding all the attention/drama. include people, that's why we're here.

ii. characters

    perfect characters are boring as heck. characters with good qualities are totally fine but don't make them unrealistically studious. These are stray dogs, some of which are fresh from a fight ring..take that into account. please give your characters some flaws and clearly state them in your form.

iii. forms

    please provide your own form and demonstrate some basic coding knowledge. your form only requires name, gender, an image, and social status, but it is encouraged to add more. please only use real pictures, and give a brief personality/history.

    as this is a limited slot roleplay, i will reserve spots to 2 days (48 hours.) if you don't post your form on the discussion thread, the slot will be open once more.

    all forms must be posted on the bark & bite discussion thread. please turn signatures off, as it makes things look way more neat.

iv. posting

    i would like at least five, well-written sentences per post. please do not join this rp if you cannot meet that requirement. all posts need to be "pretty" (meaning no plain black text) and have correct punctuation, grammar, ect. i understand mistakes/writers block but don't abuse this excuse.

    please try to be active and post at least every few days. inactive roleplayers drag down the entire rp.if you do not post for over a week your character will be removed. if someone does not take it before hand, you are welcome to re-post your form on the discussion thread.

the "we" is a band of stray dogs. we don't really have 'ranks' but we all seem to loosely accept who does what and we live in the same general area. the city streets are tight with many compact alleyways that are good for hiding. the main band of dogs currently "live" (live meaning it's where we sleep most often) in an abandoned garage. (garage entrance is visible from the street, a few work tables and some junk are scattered throughout the shack.) common meeting places include dumpster alley (in dumpster alley, most dogs get their food) and the old black truck. (the old black truck is just a common place to meet, often for lovers.)

as said earlier, we don't have official "ranks" but everyone seems to accept who does what. the dogs have no rules, except that each dog who enters the "group"/"pack" whatever... must take an oath of no fighting. fighting is in no way allowed and both parties caught in a skirmish will be forced out of the garage for the remainder of the night by other group members and then accepted once again in the morning. [ tarries ] "the tarries" are dogs that form the main group and can normally be found with the leader and each other. tarries mostly sleep in the garage. [ coms ] "the coms" are commoners who will show up from time to time to eat/swap stories/sleep with the group but are not as committed as the tarries. [ loners ] "the loners" are pretty self-explanatory. they have sworn to no fighting, but other than that they normally don't socialize with the others. [ skitzees ] "the skitzees" are rather shady characters. these dogs tend to enjoy skitz fighting (fights between dogs, without human involvement, for sport) which is rather 'looked down upon' on the streets. the only reason the "pack"/group socializes with these dogs are for the information they can bring. skitz dogs are often good spies on "the cage" (where human-run dog fights are held) and know locations of dog catchers and pounds. [ shinnies ] "the shinies" are pets and were named for their normally glossy coats.

    W H O [ Y O U ] A R E ➳
    crisis5 yearsmale

    his name is crisis. how he got the name, he will never tell. five years of his life lived and the brute is (or at least he thinks) still in his prime. crisis is large, with a bulky build resembling a pit bull. a muddy-cream coat dominates his appearance with dull yellow eyes to accent. a wide maw that often snaps sharp rebukes is in front of small pin-back ears. the brute is taller than most which won him points in "the cage." as far as scars go, crisis won most of his fights... that is to say he has few scars. the one major flaw in his appearance is an old wound that used to be a deep gash on his shoulder that has healed into a thick, white line running from the top if his right shoulder to his chest. the wound left him with an awkward limp due to infection and still bothers him on occasion.

    W H A T [ M A K E S ] Y O U ➳
    reclusivegruffblunt

    crisis is very quiet, sullen and rather a "dark cloud." his past was one of great fear and anger. forced to kill his own father at the age of two, crisis has become quite untrusting of humans and emotionally scarred like most dogs from the fights. he developed a quick temper and is quick to call out the faults in opponents, sometimes friends. crisis escaped the fights by aid of his mother and only brother, when both of his only remaining family were shot as they fled to freedom. crisis escaped, and met "an angel if i ever saw one," by the name of rose who was a pet. rose tended to crisis' wounds in secret, and with convincing, she fled with the brute away for her owner and into the streets. the two lived happily until rose died in childbirth, leaving crisis alone to care for five puppies. the new father tried desperately to find them homes with humans, but only two of the five were adopted and two more were snatched by the pound. since, crisis has raised his only son left, kade, until his son grew to become a brute as stubborn and thick-skilled as his father and left for the skits fights. crisis now spends his days leading as best he can the other strays that escaped the fights and keeping an eye on his keen to learn, albeit reckless, son.

    W H E N [ L O V E ] C A L L S ➳

    crisis lost his mate to childbirth and four of his children to humans. his only family now is his cut loose son, kade.

    W H O [ Y O U ] A R E ➳
    kade2 yearsmale

    kade's the name, fighting's the game. kade is tall, like his father, but with more of his mother's brindle in him. calico coat, with a white flash on his chest, and deep brown eyes. kade also has floppy ears, and a long, fluffy tail. kade is a skitzee which means he's got plenty of scars from fights. in his two years, kade has done everything from falling out of dumpsters to loosing part of his right ear. one of the most prominent scars is on his belly, four long, pink scratches that run from the bottom of his rib cage to his left hip bone. despite his scars, kade still considers himself beautiful.

    W H A T [ M A K E S ] Y O U ➳
    recklessannoyingopinionated

    kade was born to what he calls "an over-bearing father." his attidtude has often gotten him in trouble and his paws are constantly in the wrong place at the wrong time. kade considers himself to be a "ladie's-man" and is actually not that bad, but still annoying all the same. he enjoys reckless activities and can be well defined as an "adrenaline-junkie." his favorite pastimes include skitz fighting, catcher-teasing, and stealing food directly from humans. despite the care-free, i've-got-it-under-control front, kade can also be quiet, often wondering of his mother and finding a life somewhere else. his main mission now is to break every last dog from "the cage" and destroy those stupid humans who kill his kind for sport.

    W H E N [ L O V E ] C A L L S ➳
    no crushno matepup(s)?

    though he's not proud of it, kade has had his share of... females. (he does not know if he's a father S:) there was a time where he even had a crush for a male but those were puppy years. he does dream of a nice girl and puppies somewhere safe.

    zee1.5 yearsfemale

    her name was once makinzee, but that was what the humans called her. now she only goes by zee, and if ya call her anything different she'll clobber you. zee's very young. one of the youngest in the group actually. where her age lacks she makes up for in attitude, which is well beyond her years. zee is small, a mutt like most, with a patched coat and deep brown eyes. her tail is bobbed and feet are quick which eared her the affectionate and hated nickname "rabbit" from kade.

    W H A T [ M A K E S ] Y O U ➳
    worriedbipolarenergetic

    zee is what one might call... a ball of nervous energy with bipolar issues. her demeanor is quick and curt, much like the name. zee, once attached to you, will worry nonstop for you. she is often accused of being a 'mother-hen' meaning she can become over protective and plain fussy. her energy may be steadfast, but her mood shifts more than the sea. zee may be kind and gentle to you one minute, go outside, and come back spitting mad. it take the smallest bit to tick her off in which she gets very mad. but normally she will come along. zee's naturally loving and caring nature is thought to be from the fact she was never in the cage. her past was with humans (that being the reason she's so comfortable around them) and she was left on the streets as a puppy. zee was found by crisis at the age of seven months and after much getting to know her, the brute took her under his wing. zee has since looked to him as a father, and kade as a brother. her life has been as good as it could be since.

    W H E N [ L O V E ] C A L L S ➳
    no crushno mateno pups

    zee's never been interested in love. she's thought about puppies but no one ever caught her eye.

    samaraa year and a halffemale

    Samara is her name, and she's a year and a half and a female. Samara is light coppery color on white. She has a brown head, with a white muzzle and blaze going up her muzzle and between her eyes. Her neck is white along with her legs, and she has a saddle of brown on her back and half of her tail is white. Her nose is also a liver color to match her coat. She has pale blue eyes as well. She stands three feet from foot to head, weighs 65 pounds and her fur is short.

    W H A T [ M A K E S ] Y O U ➳
    friendlyexcitableclever

    Samara has been on on the streets since she was pup, and there really isn't much to her. Being young she is friendly and energetic, and sometimes a little too overfriendly and energetic. She is mature than she seems though, and knows when enough is enough. She keeps her mind on only the wonderful things in life and not so much the bad things. Sometimes she doesn't think before she acts but she is rather smart despite this. She is also very daring and fearless and there isn't a lot that scares her.

    W H E N [ L O V E ] C A L L S ➳
    no crushno mateno puppies

    As of now Samara has no mate, crush or pups. She has never had pups or mated with any males before, in fact it's something she's least worried about.

    Bayden is her name, and she is three years old and a female. She has a coppery brown coat, which is short, with a white chest and legs. The tip of her tail is also white along with her stomach. She has an ordinary black nose and shadowy amber eyes. She stands nearly three feet from foot to head, and has a skinny greyhound like build, her long legs giving her most of her height. She's skinny as well and only weighs around 50 pounds.

    W H A T [ M A K E S ] Y O U ➳
    ]quietthoughtfultrustworthy

    Bayden has been a stray since she was eight months old. She is an Afrikan Azawakh, which is a rare dog breed originating from Africa. Her mother and father were breeding dogs and she was going to go on to be one as well. Once she was old enough to be adopted and go to a new home, her mother's human decided to keep her. Her life as a pet was pretty great but she had always wanted more freedom and when her chance came she bolted out the door and never looked back. Bayden has always been a quiet dog, but friendly and sometimes playful. She stays in her place and it takes a lot to get her angry, but when you do anger her you'll be lucky to escape without any scars.

    W H E N [ L O V E ] C A L L S ➳
    no crushno mateno puppies

    Bayden, as of now has no crush, mate or pups. She mated with one male a while pack and had a little of three puppies but they didn't make it. For the short time she had her puppies they were her pride and joy and she had become very attached to them. After loosing them though she tries not to fall under the spell of any males, remembering the hurt of loosing her pups and the male whom she thought loved her leaving her.

    rashkatwofemale

          rashka. a no meaning name given to a dog with no voice. she is a saarloos wolfdog. a beautiful and fine creature at that. though there is more that meets the eye when you gaze down upon this female. she was born mute. a voiceless creature. she is stands at 24 inches and weighs 68 pounds, which fairly small for a wolfdog. being only two years old, she is at her youth, and a strong healthy female at that. her coat is a cream sable, at medium length. her eyes a beautiful auburn color in the sunlight, though brown when looked at in the shadows. some say she would have the voice of angel if she could talk, though sadly she cannot. she has a scar across her left shoulder, which is barely visible through her thick fur. luckily it is the only one she has.

    W H A T [ M A K E S ] Y O U ➳
    shyskittishcurious

          rashka a unique character. she has always been a shy female. semi-due to her history. she is afraid to ever look anyone in the eyes out of fear of them judging her for anything, or out of fear of them attacking her. she has always shook or shivered at any loud noise or growl. her body freezing and falling to the ground all out of fear. though deep inside she is curious about all these loud noises and people. always wanting to know more about them, and figure out what is so scary about them, or is anything is scary at all. once she is comfortable she loves playing and showing her side of things, and sometimes she can be a bit of a tease.
          as for her history that is another story. she was born to a breeder, and her genes had messed up. which caused her to be mute. her other siblings were all just fine, as well as both her parents. it was further in the gene-pool that caused her to become voiceless.her mother at first didn't want her and would always move the nest away from her, leaving her alone and cold. so she was bottle fed by caring people. who she grew to love and accept as her only family. when she turned old enough to not have to depend completely on her mother she was allowed out in the living room with the others. where she was instantly declined and hated. her two brother, marcio and kilo wouldn't talk to her and would always avoid her as if she were a freak. her father accepted her, and soon she went to live with him further away. she loved her father and when she turned a year old her fathers family celebrated her birthday and gave her a new toy and little cookie cake. she loved it and always thanked him with play. six months later her father had gotten sick with cancer and the owners didn't have enough money for the surgery. she knew what was going on and went to the vets with him to be euthinised. as they injected her father she watched her heart being torn at as she watched. now she lives with the same family as an only dog.

    W H E N [ L O V E ] C A L L S ➳
    no oneno onenone

    rashka isn't very built to be a social type of dog and won't really talk to anyone. so it makes it hard for her to find anyone to befriend or for that matter like. she wants pups, though she is afraid of having any because she doesn't want them to be like her, a freak.
