-- 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.

I'm nearly done with my character sheet. Apologies that it's a few days later than I estimated. Turns out that distractions did come up. n-n;

I have a few quick questions. My girl's backstory currently has her listed as a pup born to two Scouts. Would they be allowed to keep and raise pups? And if so, how often would the parents be required to go on missions when the pups were young?

I'm guessing that the Innsaei Pack would operate a bit like a real-world pack when it comes to leaving pups with one or more babysitters from time to time. If this is true, I'm wondering if this leads to a sort of communal parenting situation, or if pups would be much closer to their birth parents and view babysitters more as, well, babysitters. x3 And lastly, I'm just curious as to whether or not there would be any other pups born into the pack within the last year. I can totally gloss over that last point if that detail hasn't been determined, of course.

Sorry to get so detailed in pack dynamics. My trainee is still young, so the nitty-gritty of how she was raised will still be pretty fresh on her mind. :3

Yes they would! More than likely they would keep the mom home while the pups were weaning, and swapped out parents watching them or left them with pupsitters when they went out on missions and patrols. You're correct in the assumption that the whole pack kinda takes lead in parenting and raising, though the parents are their main focus. And more than likely yes! The ones listed in roles are the only ones that would've been included in this mission to catch the Deviants, and doesn't reflect the whole pack. And no worries at all! Pack dynamics are honestly my favorite to gush about xD

Hey as long as I know you're working on it, I won't be too mad if it comes a bit later. Communication is all I ask!

Rabbit's character sheet is up! I hid the writing sample under a spoiler, since it got kind of long. n-n' Please let me know if there's anything that you'd like for me to change or reshuffle.

Don't forget to get your posts in! Higher ranks need to be posting at least 5 times a week, and everyone else at least 2 times! Please let me know if you are unable to post for the week so you can be ghosted!

As someone with a high rank, I don't think I'll be able to post five times a week - primarily because I haven't had all that much interaction with my posts. I can try my best, but if the situation Captain is in is stagnant, there isn't really much I can do. :')
