-- Roleplay Thread --
Welcome to the the Adrift information thread! This thread will act as the info page and initial signup, the character sheets page connected to this thread will be used for submissions, and a separate thread for the actual roleplay will be set up once all roles are filled! Once accepted, you will receive a link to our discord that is mainly for OOC chat and even more info!

There will be limited spots because of the setting and its space constraints, mainly focusing on filling the roles, but if you would like to enter the roleplay after all roles have been filled, please feel free to add your character sheet and I will figure out how to work you in, as long as the boat has not left the dock yet in the roleplay. 

This roleplay will have an end, but that end will be entirely decided by the players. There are many possibilities for how this roleplay will go, and I do have a few loose plans to gently coax the progression towards them, but just know! Your character's actions and reactions will directly affect the outcome for everyone! 

To make this thread not a scroll fest, I've implemented Spoilers, to see the information click the Toggle Spoiler button to expand!

+++++P L O T+++++


The Innsaei Pack has lived near the docks of a small seaside town for generations. Just down the beach from the docks is a forest that spans for miles, circling around the town and only being broken up by a few roads in and out of town. The pack is mostly made up of strays, with the higher ups being born into the pack. Generally, they're pretty nice to the lone dogs in the town that have decided not to join them. They police the streets and forest, just making sure no one becomes a problem enough for the humans to take notice and start collecting up the stray population and shipping them out of town, or worse. They take care of the problematic as they see fit, but do help lone dogs that aren't quite able to take care of themselves but refuse to join the pack with the understanding that they can be called upon to help the pack in return. 

A dog (or small gang of 3) has taken residence on the docks themselves, taking to living on abandoned boats and under the docks, and being a small nuisance to the local fishers by stealing their catches when they've brought them in. Innsaei has taken to trying to stop this dog(s) but has never quite been able to catch them. That was until they had a stakeout one night and chased the dog(s) onto a boat. The boat wasn't tied well, and while the dogs were running around trying to corner and catch them, the boat drifted out to sea. Set adrift, they now must figure out how to work together and get back home, or starve and die out at sea

The start of the roleplay could start with the chasing of the Deviant(s) onto the boat, or after the boat has drifted away from shore for a ways.

1. Minimum 200 words per post.
This is a literate roleplay and it is assumed if you are submitting a character, you will be able to keep up with everyone else. This should be a pretty chill roleplay, so it is expected that every post has at least 200 words. https://wordcounter.net/ is a free site that you can just copy and paste your post into! The number of words of your post should be posted at the bottom of each reply | Words: 595. Roleplay posts should be done in the THIRD person, and proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation would be amazing. Obviously not every single post is going to have perfect everything, but your post should at least be readable and able to be understood. 
2. No metagaming, autohitting, or godmodding.
This is a realistic roleplay, you should only know what your character has been told or physically been able to perceive from someone's body language or actions. Also be mindful of taking control of other characters without agreement first. If you would like to ghost someone, such as walking into a room with another character who has not posted that they are walking that way, be sure to get clear permission from the player that you can do so. 
3. No magic.
Although our characters will have human thought, words, and some minor actions outside of an animal's physical capabilities, there will not be any mutations or magic that can't be naturally found in nature. 
5. Activity.
As mentioned, this should be a pretty chill roleplay, but to give some incentive to keep a spot in the roleplay and your role, at least 2 posts a week must be done to keep your spot. If you are a higher ranking, then you will need to post at least 5 times a week. I completely understand that life can get hectic, just give me a heads up so I can ghost your character until you can return. If needed, we will have a posting order but otherwise posting will be as people can. If you are unable to post for 2 weeks, or have disappeared, your character will be removed from the roleplay. If you come back later on, we might be able to work your character back in as long as you are able to post. 
6. Separation of Character and Player.
Understand that the character may be an asshole, but the player more than likely is not. If you have an issue with how a character is interacting with yours, don't be mad at the player for playing the character as they naturally would. If its becoming an issue, then talk to the player about not interacting as much or figuring out a way to get the characters to be a little more friendly. Never force anyone to change their character, they do NOT have to get along, and this allows for natural rp drama.
7. No drama.
If you're having tensions with another player, figure it out in pm. Do not bring it into the chat and especially don't reflect it into the RP. If issues do start leaking over, or they start to spread to other players, you and the other person(s) will be removed from the roleplay. 
8. Respect.
This should go without saying, but respect everyone and not just me or the other potential moderators. Everyone is going to have different life views, morals, and opinions, but homophobia, racism, and jabs at someone's religious beliefs will absolutely not be tolerated. 
9. Keep interactions PG-13.
This is a public Lioden thread, and we will more than likely not be the only ones reading. Relationships are allowed, but do not roleplay out any bedroom intimacy. Please use the fade to black method. 
10. OOC Talk.
Please keep all OOC talk to this thread, this includes keeping it out of the character submission thread. This will make it easier on me to be able to scroll quickly to someone's character and not have to go through pages of chatter over someone's sheet. Quick quips in roleplay posts is fine, but full out back and forth OOC conversations should not be happening in the roleplay thread. 
11. Approved Characters.
Only approved characters may post in the roleplay thread, if you are interested in joining the roleplay after it has already begun, please feel free to pm me first.
12. Death
Death is a very real possibility in this roleplay, you can check out just a few of the challenges that might lead to your character's death, so please be prepared that a misstep may lead to your character going overboard and not being able to be saved. Killing other's character must be discussed thoroughly beforehand with all parties involved and me to make sure it makes sense for the character to do so, and it'll work with the plot.

Also happy to help walk ya through roleplaying! If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. Its like a collaborative story telling with you playing one character, and everyone else playing their own individual characters. Some rps are like this one where I GM (in DND stands for Game Master) and push the plot where it kinda should go, others don't really have a plot and its just everyone playing in a world, and even more that have a mix of an overarching plot and everyone plays in the world with some smaller plots mixed in to get people involved. This one, everyone's involved!

Are we allowed to have multiple characters? I’m interested in having one in the pack and one a deviant, and I think they’d be sisters

If we can’t fill all roles with individuals, then I’ll allow more than 1 character!

Sorry for not finishing my prompt sooner! I couldn't be on Lioden the last two days, and I've been having a hard time choosing a breed for my character. :') I have a question, as well. How would we go about choosing a photo and crediting it?

@Paws

When I want to choose a photo, I look up the breed I want on wikipedia commons, as they're all free to use images. Once I find an image I like, I link back to the page which states that it's free to use. You can obviously find free to use images on other sites, however just googling the breed you want will most likely give you copyrighted images.

Hopefully I read the question right, and that answers it for you!

No worries at all, I don't mind people taking their time! Also, as far as the photos, go with Delinquet's suggestion! I went with an instagram account myself
