Bryton City, once a bustling metropolis now lays nearly dormant, a month after what the city dogs refer to as, The Vanishing, where all humans seemingly left without a trace. Cars line the streets, abandoned along with the countless buildings that are now inhabited by the animals of the city, namely the dogs who now rule it. There are those who still within or near the homes where their humans once dwelled, hoping for their return, some had moved on, while others who did not have human masters began taking advantage of the situation.
Somewhere within this once great city, a lower middle class apartment complex holds a sort of safe haven for dogs, many of which who were the pets of the previous human owners. Though this number is dwindling by the passing weeks, dogs leaving their flats due to lack of food and security, taking to the streets to join or form packs.
The dogs of this apartment, known as Complex 53, work like a small community and less of a functioning dog pack. Some have known each other before The Vanishing, some newer faces, but they all work with each other during these strange times, watching each others backs, offering food. Not all were friends, but they did and do rely on each for a sense of security. However, this odd little 'community' will see that they must make a choice. The dog packs of the city are growing more bold, increasing their numbers, waging bigger brawls and battles for territory and food, making the city an even more hostile place to live. The little community is forced to make a life changing decision, join a pack, or perish.
But... there is one last option. One that they will find within the stars, a path that will lead them out of the city in the unknown humanless world beyond.

General Idea
------
Greetings fellow rpers! Man, animal rps take me waaaay the hell back to my middle school days, and I feel nostalgic for one :D
So, the over all idea of this rp is this. Our main characters will be dogs who form a pack and escape the city, going on various adventures to find a safe haven to call their own while using the stars as their guiding key.
Do note that these are basic skeletons to help guide and inspire rpers what to write. This may change if enough people wish to add and remove elements of the story or scene.
The Beginning
Our characters are residing within a lower middle class apartment complex, some were once pets others were strays, they all know each other to various degrees. Some are friends others acquaintances, some knew each other long before The Vanishing, while others are newer faces who took refuge within the flats. They are not a pack, nor do they consider themselves to be one, there are those who are still loyal to the humans and believe that waiting for their return is the best option and those who think that maybe they should join a pack for safety. There is a total of 30 dogs that reside in this apartment.
As the weeks pass by, the dog packs of the city are turning more and more aggressive and bold, fighting for territory with not only other packs, but also raiding buildings inhabited by dogs, forcing them to join or killing them outright. A nearby apartment gets attacked by one of these dog packs, they killed nearly every resident, save for one dog who manages to escape and take refuge within the small dog community in the apartment of our main cast. The survivor explains what happened and the community becomes worried that their building will be the next target. A meeting is held a dog announces that they will leave the city, suggesting the other do the same. There is dissent within the small community, some agreeing, other disagreeing and other unsure.
The aggressive dog pack attacks the building killing some npc dog residents, while the main cast manages to escape into the night somewhere within the city. It is that night that they all decide that leaving the city is the best option and it is here they begin their journey.
Important info on Bryton City:
There is only two ways out the city, one being a massive bridge that crosses a vast lake, the other being a train that, oddly enough, still moves on its own. Main charas will choose either of these paths to leave the city.
The Town of Gladden Wood
Hopping off the train the dogs arrive in an empty small town ran by a large dog pack. The pack seems friendly at first but over time it is clear something is very wrong.
While escaping the cult dogs, and perhaps gaining a new member or members to their pack, they come across a vast lake during a storm. They hop on an old boat, still being chased by the cult and manage to push the boat onto the water, escaping the deadly pack. They ride out of the storm till night fall, seeing as they were more than half way crossed the lake to another shore. After reaching the shore, the dogs then continue their journey on an abandoned road following the stars.
They wander all night till they they come across another path, this time made of dirt, they decided to go along the dirt path till they reach a top of a hill seeing vast farmland.
They come across farm animals and farm dogs, and are at first met with hostility by said farm dogs. As it turns out the dogs of the area are having an issue with their live stock being killed, mostly sheep, goats and the domestic fowls (turkeys, chickens, ducks ect..). The pack of dogs are accused of the attacks, as they are outsiders, but it turns out it's actually a pack of wolves doing the killing. When this discovery is made, the main cast grows accustomed to the farmland and even become friends with soem of the farm dogs. One night another livestock animal is killed, this time a calf, and it is here where the leader of the dog farm pack declares war on the wolves. The main cast of a dogs is forced t choose, either they help fight or they leave the farmland. The main cast dog pack decided that this fight was not their place and int he end leave the farmland, running into the woods. It is here, that the dogs truly begin to learn how to be true wild dogs.
Living in the wilds is not what the dogs had originally thought it would. They were truly free, but the forest they chose to stay is strange hostile, bears, courgars and the changing harsh weather is making finding prey scarce. The dog pack leave again, coming across a strange dark tunnel that leads to a place unknown. After entering the tunnel, the dogs travel in darkness before hearing "voices" and sense something is chasing them. They finally see the other end of the tunnel as they run. Once they leave the tunnel they continue on the journey, they notice a stretch of road near by.
They follow along and empty, old and seemingly abandoned road as a mist and fog fall over the area growing thicker as they travel. The road comes to a dead end as it stops at a drop off, the fog so thick that they aren't able to see the bottom of the drop off. One of the dogs notice a new path made from brightly colored bricks off to the side traveling into the forest. They follow the bricked path to a strange, abandoned amusement park.
The fog fades some, allowing the dogs to see better, but still obscuring the distance beyond. Curiously they wander through the eerie park, trying to find a way out of the place and the fog. As they do so, the come across a group of foxes that live within the amusement park. One of the foxes offer the dogs help of finding way out, but only if they manage to kill or chase away a cougar that hunts the area.
The dogs agree and seek out the cougar, finding it and managing to either kill it or chase it away. In doing so, the fox leads them out of the foggy park to a cave. The dogs enter the cave and continue to travel through it till they fall sleep. When they awaken, the continue on their way before seeing and exist. Leaving the cave, they see that they are on the other side of a mountain or hill that overlooks what appears to be a beach town.
