A Dog Cat? :O.

Oh I've found some good rules that my friend posted on the other forum so I'll share them. They are good and pretty straight forward (Some have been mentioned before but this explains it better though some are obvious):

1) Do not ‘powerplay’. This is when you write for someone elses character without permission and is a faux pas because everybody has their own ideas of how they want their own character to develop. You can get round powerplaying by wording your posts caresfully. “Jim barked and ran off in distress, Jessie chasing him to ask him whats wrong” could cause contention but “Jim barked and ran off in distress, though he half wondered if Jessie would follow him” would be ok because it gives the player of Jessie the option of doing something else.
2) Remember its a game; this seems daft but just because someones character is being an ass doesn’t mean the player is an ass! Post your concerns in this thread or contact players directly if you want to chat about character development.
3) Stay in character when writing (this thread is for out of character stuff  ). Staying in character also means thinking about your characters physical limitations. A Chihuahua cannot jump onto a car bonnet or manipulate its digits enough to work a keyboard!
4) Think carefully about what your character knows. You might know that Maureens character came from Switzerland but your character, on meeting her for the first time, will not know this information.
5) In certain situations, two characters have to interact. Probably the most obvious thing here is to fight. In such a situation, try to leave things open as much as possible. “Tim jumped at James’s throat and tore it out” borders on powerplaying but “Tim attempted to jump at James’s throat and tear it out” is fair; it gives James character a chance to respond (either by “James felt Tims teeth in is throat” or “James leapt free of Tims dive” or even “James dropped dead through sheer exhaustion”.
6) Don’t make your character a “Mary-Sue” (ie a super perfect character or a super clichéd character). Try and give him or her dimesions. Sometimes, faults are as interesting as gifts.
7) Make every post worthwhile.
8) Do not steal the show , either by writing your own character into the role of main hero or by taking over the RP with sheer number of characters you have created.
---------------------------------------
Anyway! Here is my Character (Copied from previous Pandemic RP):

Character Name [including a.k.a.s]: Cait (Pronounced as Kate)

Character Age: 2 years

Character Lifestage : Young Adult but only just (So like a teenager).

Character Gender: Female (Not Neutered)

Character Species: Canine

Character Breed: Tri-coloured Border Collie

Character Size: She is about the same size as a normal border collie if not a tad smaller

Character Build: Slim

Character Personality: Cait is rather shy and after the incident with her brother, she has become rather fearful and paranoid. Having said that, she is very loyal and protective of those she trusts. Being raised as a work dog, she will do as she is told without question and is rather patient with tasks she has been given, although she can become aggressive when she is trying to protect something (for example a flock of sheep).

Character Skills And Attributes: Though she may not look it, Cait is a rather strong dog with a lot of stamina. She is a fast runner and knows a great deal about the countryside but this means she has never ventured close to the town and knows very little about it and as mentioned before, she will do as she is told without question.

Character Past History: Cait was born in the highlands of Scotland just outside Inverness a year before the HR-7 virus mutated .She is one of six and her mother was also a Tri-Coloured Border Collie but her father was a Border Collie and a champion sheepdog. Once the pups were weaned, Cait and one of her brothers were sold to a farmer called Mr Davies who lived in the South Lancashire countryside, England (Let’s give it a location neh? tongue.gif).

For the next two years, Cait and her brother Ben were raised on a farm just outside of a small town and they were both trained to be working dogs, in this case sheepdogs. They were both treated well but they were not seen as pets. When the Pandemic spread to England, Mr Davies became increasingly worried about his dogs as well as his livestock and he began night shifts where he would watch over his flock with Cait and Ben.

Early one morning, Mr Davies had heard some dogs in a nearby wood next to the field in which he kept his flock. Armed with his shotgun and with his two dogs, he set out into the wood to dispose of these “Mutts” as he called them. Cait stayed close to her master’s side but Ben, being the more adventurous and daring of the pair, ran on ahead despite his master’s calling. Unfortunately, Ben was attacked by a German Shepherd where he was bitten on his back. By the time Cait and his master appeared on the scene, the German Shepherd had disappeared and Ben had collapsed from shock (if dogs can do that. I’m not so sure *shrugs* ).

Mr Davies called the vet out straight away to take a look at Ben who was patched up and told to rest. Fearful for both dogs, Mr Davies placed them both inside separate cages (you know those ones you can get for dogs? ) to keep an eye on them. A few days later, Cait began to notice a difference with her brother. He seemed more irritable and would twitch randomly in his sleep. A week later, Mr Davies decided that the sheep needed to be moved into the next field so put both dogs to work. Cait was worried about Ben as he seemed to be acting rather oddly and his eyes seemed rather bloodshot, but this had gone unnoticed by her master. Once Ben had been let off the lease, he ignored all commands and Cait watched in horror as he attacked one of the sheep. She then heard a loud roaring noise and watched as her brother dropped like a stone. It was then that she realised that her master had shot and killed Ben.

Cait was confused about what had happened and was also afraid of what would happen to her. Her master had also become fearful and tied Cait up outside where she now remains. Her master now has little to do with her, except feed her, and does not use her to herd sheep for fear that she will also attack one of his flock.

Cait is now fearful, paranoid and longs for things to be back to the way they were.

I'll use Dawn and her brother Dusk in this one.

____

Character Name [including a.k.a.s]: Dawn.

Character Age: 3 years

Character Lifestage : Young adult.

Character Gender: Female (Not Neutered)

Character Species: Canine

Character Breed: Akita X Kisha

Character Size: A little smaller than a Labrador.

Character Build: Not fat, but muscular.

Character Personality: Very stubborn and sarcastic but loyal to those she calls friend.

Character Skills And Attributes: She has been a stray all her life and has good survival skills. She can hunt well, fight well and keep herself away from the humans.

Character Past History: Dawn once belonged to a young boy and his family. However when they were puppies, the boy decided he no longer wanted them and the parents abandoned both her and her brother Dusk in the wild. Together, they quickly learnt that to survive they would need to stick together if they wanted to live. Growing up in the wild, they both became good fighters and good hunters, but always had a hatred of humans.

When the virus broke out, they stayed put in the wilds, but with the increase of wild infected dogs on the rise, they were forced out of their territory.
