.::Plot::.
The year is 2130. Over time, much of the world fell into dismal state. Poverty amongst humans became increasingly common, governments became even more corrupt than before, and much of nature has died off, becoming 
extinct at the hands of mans selfishness. Yet despite this scientists began to experiment more freely with things such as bacteria and viruses. One of these diseases, an altered form of smallpox, was released by accident into the public. The virus quickly killed millions, who never even had time to consider any sort of prevention. The world that was already in shambles began to plummet further.
In a city full of the dead and dying, room for other creatures to roam the emptied places. The virus affected humans alone, so the animals that had survived the long years before were unaffected by this new virus. However, a virus could remain dormant in an animal's body, using it to spread the disease.
Dogs, abandoned by families or left alone because the virus killed their home, went to the streets. Those that could not escape died. Most didn't last for a minute, especially the smaller ones. Packs formed, territories were founded, and eventually, the mostly-empty City of Man had become separated into two things: a small colony of humans resistant to the disease, and the dogs outside.
Feral, most turned. Since they had little experience with people apart from as dead corpses, mostly used for food, the dog packs trailed humans. They hunted them, as well as each other. In the new city, called the Stranglehold of Life, survival became the main game. Only the strongest females could birth litters. Only the strongest of the litters survived.
Seven years have passed and within the Stranglehold itself, human gangs are frequent, seeming to form packs similar to the dogs outside them. With few people left outside of the Stranglehold many of the cities have turned to ruin, being kept up by no one and at the mercy of whatever animals choose to take residence there, though inside the Stranglehold things still appear to be at least somewhat normal despite a lack of people. Many of the outside cities, however, were torn down and ravaged by man in their search for those effected by the disease and in their pursuit to get rid of them. Because of this, much of the surrounding areas are barren, void of anything but small reminders that towns and cities once existed.
There are a few dogs in the Man camps of Stranglehold, often used for work in an almost primitive fashion, though some are still kept for pets and a few others as entertainment—sport by means of dogfighting. To the dogs outside though, these pets are food. Game. If one strays too far, he is killed before he can speak. Human children are often subject to the same fate if they make the mistake of straying too far from their human camp.
In the Stranglehold, few can hope to live. Can you even hope to survive?

.::Rules::.
● In character fights are not to be taken out of character or vice versa. If you have a problem with a member, contact me or one of the other staff members, explain the problem, and we'll see what we can do about it. When fighting take affect of their attacks, and don't do any serious damage to the other player with out their permission.
● No spam, mary-gary sues, no more then two characters, double posting, wings, wolves, or powers etc, arguing [out of character], flaming, power play, dogs with un-ushual markings are accepted but no sparkle dogs, this is a semi lit roleplay so atleast two sentences, and don't be rude. Romance, drama, and fighting is encouraged.
● Cussing is allowed but don't go overboard, by overboard I mean by using the words that CS blocks out as 'I need to watch my language.'
● No forced breeding/mating or death. Descriptive birth, mating, or killing/death is not tolerated. If you really want to be
that nasty, take it to private. If it is posted in public it will be reported.
● Clothing/accessories are permitted but I don't expect a feral dog to have so so if your dog if feral please describe how they got the clothing.
● It is assumed the settings is in America. So accents are discouraged if you don't have a history from where they came from. Sap stories of how their parents died is also discourages along with being defenceless, a pup, being a small/toy breed, or being a hybird.
● We are looking for breeds as in Huskies, Malamutes, Great Danes, German Shepherds, Irish Wolfhounds, Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Border Collies, and large mutts are encouraged.
