Tracker Dogs V2.0 [Series 20]

[Hereisdan]

You see the several striped sensors in the ears? The ones that give the Trackers their striped ears? Those are the chips. So no, they can't fall out. You'd have to cut off the ears completely to remove them.

I have this one question and then i wont ask any more on this subject... i hope im not bothering you with this.

I count abut eight sensors in the drawing you put up, are all eight tracking devices or do they do other things like send or receive signals and the such. My tracker Silverbell has some of her ear shot off, which of these sensors would be affected?

[Nyxeva]

What do you think? I think I'm gonna add it to my form.
Sorry about the photo quality, my scanner is being a brat.
Unfortunately, I don't have a colored pencil that matches his base coat :s

They all add to their field of vision by helping to process the sounds, so if some got removed (during fights or accidents), then the sight of the Tracker would decrease a bit. However, as long as atleast 1 remains, it can be tracked down and it'll still be able to hear in the normal way.

I see, thank you.

How would a tracker be able to "see" fire? Just curious because it doesn't seem like that would show up too well using sonar or scent, (well a little, but more like the burning material around it?) How would they be able to detect it?
Sorry if I'm over thinking this or missing something really obvious, I do that a lot. xD

[DoctorDraca]

Fire has a typical burning sound, so a Tracker would be able to hear it. They wouldn't really be able to see it, but they can listen to the fire and feel the heat of the flames to pinpoint where they are.

I don't know why I put #32 on my form... Please disregard the #32 that has been replaced with #30 now. Sorry for the confusion!

Tracker Dog Application Series 10
Username: -PuppyDawg-
Tracker Dog you want: #32
Name you'll give it: Skylar
Reason why you want it: She looks to be a very useful Tracker and because of her wings, she will be able to be more efficient in finding injured people.

Will it be used in any kind of story?: Maybe
Describe its personality: Skylar is a very easygoing, sweet tracker. She listens well, and almost never disobeys, though she will quickly let it be known if your wrong.

Write an introduction for your Tracker:
One morning, I went to the tracker kennels looking for a new friend. My mother had recently died and I needed a new companion. When I stepped into the back room, my eyes quickly singled out an unusual tracker. She had wings and eyes, meaning she was an aerial. I had never seen an aerial tracker before, only heard of them. This tracker had a silver coat with black patches and odd glowing stripes. Her wings were blue with green edges and her toungue was the same. I came up to her cage and looked a her clipboard. It said that she was number 32, she was and aerial, and she was trained primaraly in the medical field. I knew then that she was perfect since I was a nurse. I smiled and put her clipboard down. She watched me with her big blue eyes as I put my hand slightly through the bars of her cage. She walked towards me and sniffed my hand. When she licked my hand I remembered that I had turkey for lunch and had forgotten to wash my hands. Oopsie. As footsteps began towards me, I took my hand out of the kennel and looked towards the guard coming my way. "I see your very fond of number 32.", he said, his voice emotionless. Somehow Ii could tell just from that sentance that his voice only spoke neutral or angry. I was glad it was neutral. "Yes, she's very kind. I want to know if I could adopt her.", I said, smiling. "Lemme check.", he said gruffly, leaving presumably to check with his boss.

(Imma so lose. )

Tracker Dog Application Series 10

Username:
Angua
Name of the applicator:
Anessandra Cartail (RP charakter)

Tracker Dog you want:
Dog #30



Name you'll give it:
Phoenix F.F. V.2.10.30

Nickname:
Phoenix or Nix

Reason why you want it:
It´s not only the design I love, I fall in love with his charakter come up in my mind when I saw Tracker No.30

Efficiency is the codex No.30 is created and trained for. His polished seemed fur, modificated blowholes, strong legs, his quiet but mighty aura when he stands beside you. Like a Mustang car in your garage. A physical power, waiting for getting activated. With such a partner you feel almighty, doesnt matter how weak you are. And then he turns his head to me, lays him crooked and an ear twitches - his way of smiling. I cant resist, i have to smile back. He has a roguish smile full of hoax and jokes like saying: "Hey babe, come on and let´s have some fun!" Please don´t think he´s disrespectful, he is, but he knows I´m a bloody beginner and my only chance to handle him is his sunny nature and well education. So we are more an equal team than a chief and his bright assistant. Now I lay my head crooked, too, and pats his head between his ears. I know he hates when I handle him like a pretty normal dog. His ears slapped down - he´s sulking - and I cant resist again, I begin to laugh, bend down and peck his coal black nose.

Will it be used in any kind of story?:
Surely! He should be my dog in the RP Anessandra and Eliza acting in and I want him for showing him proudly in my signature here at CS ^__^
Perhaps we would take part of, if a Tracker RP will exists in the future.

Describe its personality:
Likes:
Water - Like nearly every firemen he has a affinity to water. He loves playing with a waterball in our lil lake outside in the garden, even in spring and autumn. Splashing around, cool down and watch the tiny sparkling drops comes up when he romps through the lake (watching in his own form of perception). Wintertime he has to be content with my bathtub, poor one. Especially he loves to do after working, to cool down, washes down the ash and the more excreted chemical shield - it´s very important to wash the old secretion down from time to time to clean up the pores.

Sleeping in bed - No comment!

Fans - Yes, he´s good in his job and he knews! So he´s absolutely convinced of his abilities and of the opinion others can do the same. Bad mouths would say that he is futile and arrogant, but this would mean that his priors lays on his ego and that he inclines to the selfoverestimation. The fact is, he do his job reliable, conscientious, experienced and full of passion. There is no room for fails and he´ll not do. Don´t forget, he´s made for doing it. He has a complete other relation to this, than a human doctor said 20 years before, "Hey, when Im old enough, I will get an an astronaut!" Doing firefighting is like breathing for him, natural but necessary.

Make fun - He´s a big joker, I think it´s important for him for compensate the strain during his work. He´s a casper, stealing your underwear while you are under the shower, animates you to play with him inside or in the garden and really really loves to scare and hunting neighbours cats (good old dog DNA ^^)

Suggling - When Im laying outside in my chair on the terrace dozing or in the evening on my couch watching TV, he climbs up, waggle his tail embarrassed and lies down, half besides me, half on me, waiting for getting his ears massaged.

Dislikes:
Intensiv tasting food: Like garlic, cheese and so on. Im not sure, but I suppose that such food cuts down his whole apparat of senses. He prefers light tasting things like bred or yoghurt.

chimneys: He hates when I fire on my chimney wintertimes in the livingroom. He lies down behind the armchair to be guarded from the warmth but looking the whole time on the fire not be sure if he decides thats okay to accept a fire on his own house without doing anything.

Stupid and inconsistent humans: He will rescue every human, its part of his education, doesnt matter if he risk his own life or not. But for being accepted you need more than to be a human. Because of his smart charakter and his good body points he needs a superior human (or other races) to make him the beta dog. He´s not unkind or disrespectful, he would only acting more independent. Lucky me, he likes me and has accepted me as a teampartner, not for my superior, Im sure. Stupid people he don´t likes, cause such people are more predestined for difficulties from those he have to help them out, than other people

Boredom: He is of the opinion that he is a marvel and because of this his has to uses his abilities the whole time. More than three days without working and he gets in a bad mood, creeping around everywhere searching for something to do (most of the time the neighours cat is the one he decides for). For this days Im glad about that he is mude, I fear otherwise he would wailing most of the day to terrorize me. Its hard for me to consider spare employments for him cause he is clever and highbrow, so its no possibility to hide a biscuit under one of three hats and allow to find him the biscuit.

For his future:
I think he would be glad about to be part of a breeding program. Every time he meets a female he shows out the macho, makes himself tall, smart and flexes his muscles. He is persuaded absolutely of himself

Write an introduction for your Tracker:

Today is the day of days.

Eliza, my friend, stands besides me while waiting in front of a massive iron gate to letting be in Dr. Nex Ta´ars labority inside. A lil time before I have applied for one of her Trackers. Its hard to get One, and even harder for me to get my objekt of desire cause its a special Tracker type, first of his subspecies. A firefighting Tracker dog, made for working with firemen and we are no firemen, but still in need of such a marvel.

A military personnel escorts us past training areas and smaller buildings in a building in the middle of the area. A tracker lying outside and enyoing the first sunbeams this year, sizes us up, deicdes that we are no danger, and lay back again.

Now we come in to the building, a laboratory full of things about tracker, scientific implementation and measuring instruments. A young women, not older than me, looks up from a grand microscope, eyes us and seems to be surprised. Then occurs to her who we are and why we are here. She was deepened thus in her work that everything has forgotten round herself.

She gives us the hand, smiling a nice and warm smile and welcome us.
" Hey guys, nice to meet you. Which of you is Anessandra?"
"Me, Dr. Ta´ar. Nice to meet you personally, but please feel free to call me Ani. Im very exited about today, I hope we are the right ones."
"We will see, Ani. I´m Nex. Now let´s go and lets see why you are here, right? The details we can explain during the further visit."

She turns round and goes right to another room border on the labority while she explains:
"At the moment are no visiting hours, so they are in their living areas. At the moment five trackers lifes on the area, my own ones, Target and Venex, you should have meet Traget outside on the yard"
- We nod -
"and the other three are here."
She opens a door leads to another yard with bordered living areas for the trackers and there he stands in the sun, seems to eyes up the new visiters.

In the sun he shimmer a touch of golden were his fur colour and the yellow stripes runs. Till now I have only saw him on pictures Nex send to me and now he is reality. Slowly he comes up to us, registerd that he is the one catches an eye on.
His muscles flexes under his skin and the effect is strengthened by the gleaming secretion on the surface.
His mighty claws scratches on the concrete every step and he takes his head higher to be able to better scrutinise us and you can see thin, almost transparently dense smoke swaths out of his blowwholes where he converts tiny smoke particles in the air to oxygen.
Ive never seen a reallife tracker before and had a little fear that I could have a problem with the missing eyes, but his gesture and facial play are so coined that they will be no problems with understanding.

Eliza pokes my side and Nex begin to laugh. I was so fascinated, that my mouth stands open.
Nex jokes:
"I see, my job was pretty good, right?" and winks.
I havent found my speech and can only nod again.
I concentrate back on tracker #30 and now he his near enough to touch his fur when I stretch my hand. His fur feels great, flatly, smoothly and a bit gelatinous cause of the new secretion builded in the sun today.
He let me do like an old experienced school pony but with a touch of, 'Are you ready, stupid one?`
I found back my brain and have to smile. A strong charakter, fine. I like it, it will be a long way till he appreciates me, but Im sure, a way fullfilled with fun.

30 Minutes later we sit outside by the trackers, meantime #31 and #32 have also gone past to see whether there is something special, with a limonade and talked about Nex demands for #30 new owner and our lifestyle. #30 is sitting besides me, Ive found out that he loves to get massaged his ears and so I have a new job.
"Why do you think you need exactly this tracker?"
I point my finger at Eliza.
"She´s the reason."
She blushes, atleast as far as one can recognise this.
"You are a creator, a scientist with expierience and brain. She is your opposite, mad and not organized. Sometimes I suppose there is no brain inside this little insect head (Eliza is a chimera, parts human and parts insect)."
Eliza makes a painful "Hey!" and shuts up again.
"She experiments in my house the whole day with chemicals and only the last year she fires down two times big parts of my house and countless times she provokes small fires and explosions. It would be good for safe and my sleep to own this Cutie."
While patting his head.

"Oh, thats a problem, I see."
Sizes Eliza up, like Target did in the first yard. Eliza choked almost in her lemonade.
"But you now, there are many applicators, most of them are firemen, I made #30 for such people."
I looked at him and was afraid to have no chance to get him. He looks back, it seems like he understand my fear and push his head in my limper getting hand. I think about if he has sensors which are able to scanning my bodily functions like heartbeat and so one for being able to recognize my mood but I wasnt sure.
"Well, yes. ... I know. If he lived with me, he would be half of the time a normal protective dog and friend for our travels by horse which arent secure everytime cause most of the time i work as a head hunter and therefor a tracker is more than ideal. His well education, great body functions and senses would helps me a lot. On the other side our special little situation in my home"
While fixes Eliza
"would predestine him and his special funktions to helps us and have a chance for a long life."

Nex smiles up and shows #30 to come up to her. Directly he follow her and my hand is empty. Again my fear, that this was the first and the last time I am able to cuddles his head.
He sits down beside Nex and now she strokes his back and look at him.
"Hm, boy, which applicator do you prefer?"
And gives him a soft smile and I realize that she really loves every of her trackers like her own two and that is hard for her to give them away.
If #30 answered, I cant recognize, so my panic goes on.
Eliza decides that she has sulked enough and lays an hand comforting on my shoulder while I press the hand touches his warm skin a few seconds before.
Nex recignizes, too.
"Don´t get panic!"
She smiles
"Your even one of the last applicators I have visit her at my labority, most of the applicators before are already out of the run. But I have to think about wisely, i wont want to give him in the wrong hands."
Now I can smile back, not the most bad answer I can get.
"I understand. I would do the same. So, please take enough time for your decision."
"I will."

With this words we stands up and I take a last look at #30. I go to the squat and strokes his cheek.
"See you soon, my big boy."
I said more to myself to make me hope but he reacts, crooked his head and twitches an ear. I dont know what he means but it looks very cute.
Nex personally accompany us to the massive iron gate and wishes us a good way home.
We thanks her for her time, and go to our car.
"Hey Eliza, the next few nights we have to watch a lot of movies. Next time I can sleep again is, when Nex decided the new owner. Im in love I think."
"I know, Sweety."
