[Navuso]

Name: Rex

Gender: Male​

Species: Australian Pom Mutt​

Alias/Title/Nickname:​

Rank (if any): N/A - To be earned/placed later​

Age: Adult​

Family: None Known​

Allies: None Known​

Enemies: None Known​

Personality: A bit rough around the edges, not overly trusting, but looks out for those around him.​

Notable Strengths/Skills: Scavenging for food, quick pawed (agile and quick), and decent problem solving skills. (Often labelled as 'too smart for his own good by his humans)​

Weaknesses: Strength, size, stealth (Can't blend in to the dark very well)​

History: Rex is not sure how it wound up that way, but he spent his early days out on the streets. He was a stray with no home, rummaging around the trash and begging for scraps where he could get them. It worked well enough, keeping him alive as long as he didn't kick up any trouble with the other strays.​

One day, he landed the jackpot in begging. Instead of getting scraps, the skittish pup found himself scooped into the human's arms. Through his struggles and bites, she took him to an unpleasant place that burned his nose with the scents there. Those humans poked and prodded sharp things under his skin, and tied his muzzle shut so that he couldn't defend himself. He didn't know what was happening, but through the chaotic whirlwind, he finally found himself in what was supposed to be his forever home.​

Here, he became a loyal pet to her, settling in within weeks. He still had tendencies from when he lived on the streets, often foraging around for food when he didn't have any in his bowl. But, when she left, he would wait for her, and when she came back, he would greet her with an enthusiastic wag of his fluffy tail. She often cooed about how she didn't know how such a well-bred mixed breed wound up a stray without a chip, not that he understood what that meant, but it was home. It was his place.​

And then it wasn't. She left for work one day, and that was that. It wasn't just her that didn't come back. All the humans were gone. Rex wanted to go out to look for her, but something told him better of it. So he stayed put and waited. He never interacted with the other canines around the apartment aside from the occasional run in while out on walks.​

Rose Gale

• 
  
  
  
  
  Name: Rose
  Scent: Roses and cherries
  Gender: fae
  Alias/Title/Nickname: Rosie (hates this one), Red
  Rank (if any): tba (will be alpha of dog pack once formed)
  Age (pup, youth, young adult, adult, elder): Young Adult
  Family (if any): n/a
  Allies (if any): tba
  Enemies (if any): tba
  Personality:
  Rose is a dog who believes that, no matter what, you must keep moving forward. This is essential to survival in her eyes, dwell in the past for too long and you'll get left behind. She takes her responsibilities (whatever they may be) with seriousness, and if something gets in the way of that, she ensures to correct it or get rid of it immediately.
  Rose believes that every dog, or any other animal for that matter, is in control of their destiny and what they do with it is entirely up to them.
  And so long as they don't make themselves a threat, she could care less what they do. Despite her coming off as unsympathetic or uncaring towards others, there is a softness to her to where if she sees a dog in serious trouble she'll swoop in an attempt to help them.
  When push comes to shove, Rose is a realist, the world is not black nor white, it's grey and unfair to those that were simply born given the short end of the stick.
  
  Notable Strengths/Skills: She's a skilled fighter due to her living on the streets and being raised by a former fighter dog. Under her red coat is pure muscle from her life as a street dog.
  
  Weaknesses: The fae doesn't have much patience and has been known to have a short temper. She doesn't know how to swim.
  
  History: From the day she was born, Rose was a dog of the streets in Bryton City. When she became six months of age, she was separated form her mother and litter mates by dog catchers. She managed to run away, moving further and further away from her birth place, moving to the northern parts of the city. After a two months living on her own, the young fae came across an older dog who was a former ring fighter. The brute took the youth under his wing, especially when it came to defense and offense in fighting. The old dog passed a few months before The Vanishing and the fae had taken refuge within the apartment, Complex 53.

  Name: Gale
  Scent: Mint and tea leaves
  Alias/Title/Nickname: n/a
  Rank (if any): delta (when he joins the wandering stars, he currently is a delta for a different dog pack)
  Age (pup, youth, young adult, adult, elder): adult
  Family (if any): n/a
  Allies (if any): tba
  Enemies (if any): tba
  Personality: Gale is a cunning and conniving dog, his silver tongue has gotten him in and out of trouble on various occasions. His voice is almost always smooth and demeanor calm , though he does not speak with authority he will be certain to try and sway any dog if it means benfiting him in some way shape or form. The brute is an opportunist, predatory in how he will take advantage of those who he views as weak willed, manipulating them to suite his needs and achieve his goals. He's a charmer and will often flirt with any he takes a fancy too, especially if their gullible enough to fall for him.
  
  Notable Strengths/Skills: Speed is on this dog's side, he is light on his feet as well thanks to the long wisps of fur between his toes
  Weaknesses: He's weak when it comes to brute strength. A very vain and prideful dog, who is only looking for himself and because of that he has serious trust issues.
  
  History: tba
  
  

 

[Annyeong Bunny]

Name: Akira

Scent: Honeysuckle and petrichor

Alias/Title/Nickname: Yahto (Native American word for "blue")

Rank (if any): TBA (Pup)

Age (pup, youth, young adult, adult, elder): Pup

Family (if any): N/A (Deceased)

Allies (if any): TBA

Enemies (if any): TBA

Personality:
Being young, there isn't much that's known about Akira's personality. The bit that is known about her is that she is very loyal, a bit gullible, quiet, thoughtful, and cautious. Despite being a pup, she had experienced a lot that had snuffed out her puppy tendencies, such as being energetic and playful. However, even though she is more hesitant than most, Akira can easily warm up to others, as she's still young and gullible.

Not seeing other dogs save for her litter mates, Akira is on the more cautious side when it comes to other dogs that may pose as a threat. Because of this, she may seem off-putting or aloof when in actuality, she is reading the situation and gauging the new dog's actions. This characteristic is relatively new after the disappearance of the humans since she still has no idea what's been happening, but knows that it's not good.

Akira is also very loyal, and though she is young, she knows that with those she cares about, she would do anything to protect them. This also means fighting if she needs to, and becoming a barrier to protect others from attacks. Though it's never happened before, Akira's loyalty has no bounds. Being a more quiet pup, the tendency to suddenly act out is out of the question; she is thoughtful and self aware, often becoming a silent threat to others who may be dangerous.

Notable Strengths/Skills: Being loyal and extremely observant, Akira can easily be used to her full potential in a pack once she grows older. However, despite only being 7 months old, she has a relatively firm grasp on these strengths and would be easy to train. Also being a German Shepherd, she has the genetics to run very fast, although that will be noticed more at an older age.

Weaknesses: Gullible (will change once she's older), lack of knowledge about the outside, distrusting of new people

History:
Ever since she was born, Akira was around the presence of humans. Her human owners were Native American and were part of a cultural group in the city. Akira was born in the home, her mother a beautiful black color with the kindest eyes. Growing up, she ran around with three other pups, all of which were supposed to be sent to other homes eventually. Akira was to be kept where she was, as she was a beautiful blue color. Her owners were in love at first sight, at least, that's what she had learned the more she heard them talk.

However, the happy times she had been surrounded with for the past four months suddenly disappeared. Akira remembered the day clearly, like it happened only days ago. Her owners had placed new collars around her and her siblings' necks, stating to them that they'd be back soon. Not quite sure what it was about, Akira turned to her mother who clarified that she was going to the vet for a check-up. Then, they were gone. Akira and her siblings waited. And waited. There was still no sign of their family, and soon, the pups began to get worried.

Soon enough, two months passed. It was a sad and achingly painful two months, as her brothers and sisters began to grow sick one by one, until there was only Akira left. With no way to leave the apartment, her only company is her deceased siblings, to which she refuses to look at. With her hope growing thinner and thinner, Akira now lays in the far corner of her owner's room, hoping that their scent never disappears. It was the only way she could keep the strength to keep waiting. Surely... there would be a way for her to leave one day.

[DekuNightFury]

Tai

Name
Tai

Scent
Gunpowder and iron

Alias/Title/Nickname
Sarge, Wing-Man(Given to him by his master)

Rank (if any)
(Would like to earn the Beta Rank but otherwise Delta)

Age (pup, youth, young adult, adult, elder)
Adult

Family (if any)
None(Had a human master)

Allies (if any)
The men of his master's troop in the army

Enemies (if any)
Possible other enemy dogs he fought against out on the field

Personality
Cool, calm, collected. Is rather serious and stern most of the time and is always on the alert, never really taking the time to play or relax. Despite his hard demeanor, he is actually pretty warm-hearted even if he must make hard choices that would otherwise seem cruel. He is loyal to a fault and protects his own, even at the cost of his own life.

Notable Strengths/Skills
Alert and attentive, hardly anything could get past him and does really well under pressure. Excellent fighting skills as well as stealth, though his strength lies mostly with fighting. He is very clever at figuring out hard situations and using the environment to his advantage, he doesn't just fight with brute force but with brain smarts as well, which is how he wins in tight situations.

Weaknesses
Aggression and mistrust is normally his first answer for everything, plus he has a small case of post-traumatic disorder. He will jump at the slightest loud sound and will easily grow aggressive, though he is pretty good at keeping it under control. However, if a situation becomes far too heated, then he will fall back on his instincts and fight to survive and protect his own. Once he gets this way it is really difficult to snap him out of it. This coming due because of the fact his life was always on the line and the smallest mistake could be fatal. He also has a weaker right front leg.

History
Tai was a war dog. A soldier had Tai since he was just a pup and he was raised as a killer war dog, and the two became inseparable, a team that watched each other's backs. Tai learned all the skills of war needed as a war dog and was treated just like any other soldier, saving not only his owner's life a few times but other lives as well. The sounds of battle, the scent of blood and iron with gunpowder, dirt and rubble blasting around him were all second nature to him. He became immune and learned only to stay focused on the task at hand and following orders.

He and his owner had just gotten back from a mission and made it to his small studio apartment. What was supposed to be a time of relaxing and enjoyment had turned into a nightmare when his owner suddenly vanished. Because of his long military service, Tai's instincts flared up and he immediately knew that something was wrong, yet try as he might he could not find his owner anywhere. There was no other scent as well to indicate that someone else had taken him. His owner was just suddenly...gone. No scent. No sign or clue. Nothing.

It wasn't hard for Tai to escape the small studio apartment, bound and determined to find his owner, yet soon came to realize that it was a far bigger issue than just a missing person. All humans had vanished. The longer he searched the more he began to lose hope, though he refused to give up. Over time, however, he had no choice but to accept that his owner was gone, and the best thing he could do was try to survive.

Theme

Other
Tai has wolf blood in him. One of his grandparents was a wolf while both his parents were both huskies. His right front leg is also horribly maimed, with scars lining down it that are bare of fur. He had gotten in an accident while out on the field but he was able to recover without losing his leg, and he could still be active. The leg is weaker than the others but he is still capable of walking and fighting.

Rio

Breed: Weimaraner, Long-Haired Silver-Blue
Scent: Almond and vanilla
Alias/Nickname: Ghost
Rank: TBA (Likely Delta)
Family: Maya Christiansen, world's greatest mom™
Allies: TBA
Enemies: TBA
Personality: Rio tends to be a very mellow and conservative dog, often called debonair. His posture, his walk, his air is imbued with confidence . But never call him snobby; his show dog experience provided him with elegance, but he easily charms people and dogs alike with a soft-spoken, gentle demeanor and he has no shortage of empathy for those he is bonded with. His confident appearance doesn't define him at all, as he tends to be anxious and self-conscious when things go wrong. Rio is a dog who avoids new and uncomfortable situations when and where possible. His life is built around routine and so stepping out of that comfort zone doesn't work very well with him. Being forced out of it is even worse.
Notable Strengths/Skills: He is very observant, intelligent, and has a strong prey-drive (as his owners enrolled him in many hunting trials). Plus, submissive, not likely to outright argue with a leader (internally, different story).
Weaknesses: Anxiety, general doubtfulness, "the world is ending, i'll lay here and die"—that's the big one. He's gonna chew on anything he finds to try and calm his nerves; destructive. Doesn't completely care for strangers. Hyperactive or frozen with dread, there is no in-between. Compliance is probably more of a weakness than a strength. Possessive lil shit—touch his Mr. Carrot squeaky toy and perish.
History: ehhh slight WIP, main points
- parents were show dogs and extremely disappointed with him bc long-hairs are disqualified from the big showings
- was basically left out in the cold by his fam
- ironically first to be adopted in his litter
- owner was an ex-addict, he helped her stay away from The Evils
- adores hunting trials; comes in top 3 most of the time

Other:
- Rio's Collar, Petmate Nylon

Sol

Name
Sol

Scent
Fall, wood, autumn breeze

Alias/Title/Nickname
Sunny, Sun, Red

Rank (if any)
A type of medic perhaps?

Age (pup, youth, young adult, adult, elder)
Young Adult

Family (if any)
Father(Deceased)
Mother(Deceased)
Sister: Solora(Deceased)

Allies (if any)
None

Enemies (if any)
Many

Personality
Clever and sly, in order to survive Sol had to learn to trick his enemies rather than fight them with brute force since he wasn't much of a fighter. He knows how to use his own opponents weaknesses and even their strengths against them, not necessarily to win a battle, but to get out of one. He is a runner, not a fighter which mistakes him to be a coward. He is mistrusting of others but knows how to use others for his own purposes and if it is for his own benefit. This makes him seem like an evil conniving mistrustful creature but he would never purposely try to hurt someone or put them in danger, he only tries to save his own skin and to survive.

Notable Strengths/Skills
Charming, good with words, sociable. Very good at turning a situation into his own favor and having things his way. He knows how to trick others into making them think he is a friend rather than foe, incredibly smart and a great trickster. He is also good at getting into small and tight spaces and sneaking around. He is also good with herbs and plants since he grew up around the forest and knows what can help certain injuries or sickness.

Weaknesses
Because he is such a trickster, others tend to immediately mistrust and suspect him. He has also made many enemies in the past that may still be out to get him if they ever saw his face again. When put in a situation where he had no choice but to fight then he would most likely instantly lose on the account he doesn't know how to fight and has no brute strength. He is too small and weak to fight and defend himself, preferring to try to escape the situation rather than face it head on.

History
His entire family died by wolves as a youth. It was around winter, times were tough and food was scarce, so they were desperate for food. Desperate enough that their father had swiped some kill from the wolves that he so cleverly thought he had gotten away with, but one of the pack members had tracked him down and followed him straight home. Luckily Sol had been out collecting some berries for his family since food was so scarce when their den was ravaged by starving wolves. He returned only to hear the dreadful cries of his family and dropped the branch with berries to go running toward the source, but immediately took refuge and hid as he saw the brutal murder of his family. The wolves had teared them apart and littered the ground with their blood and fur. He was far too frightened to move and help, frozen in place by their brutality, and too scared to look away. His family didn't stand a chance. They were taken away to add to the wolves' kill pile, their limped bodies dragging on the ground, and so Sol was left in the remains of the massacre.

He remained where he was for hours, trembling and unable to move, and only when the cold became too much did he find his wits about him. He crept out slowly to the blood-soaked snow, looking on in horror at what had just been his home moments before but had become a battle field, the wolves' snarls and his family's cries still ringing in his ears. The weeks that followed were nothing but a blur to him. He remembered running far away from his home, never to look back, and took shelter where he could and hunted for himself whenever he was able to find prey. He had never wept for his family, far in too much shock, and he pushed the terrible nightmare far away in the back of his mind to lock away forever. Ever since he only ever looked out for himself and kept to his own, using whatever he could to save his own skin and never cared about others, using those that he could till he got what he needed from them.

Other
Sol is very handy when it comes to herbs and plants. He knows what is poisonous and what is safe to eat, and what can help an upset stomach among other things. Growing up in the forest has helped him to identify these types of plants and know what to look out for.
