The sickness came seven months ago. A deadly flu that was a troublesome factor for all doctors worldwide, it was a strange oncoming of a disease, and most of the world was infected with it. They came to the realization that it was an extensive (and fatal) form of radiation sickness. Within a few weeks the world’s population had decreased by 4.3 billion, and it kept on going down... fast. Soon there was nothing that could be done, no medication, nothing just the sweet release from this life. Two weeks ago the last humans died, now the world was left abandoned, cold, and alone.... Well, mostly.

Canines. Yes, canines were immune to the sickness, the radiation did nothing to them, they managed to thrive on. Though some of them went insane from the sudden collapse of the human race, and became ruthless killers, savages, hellbent on destroying all that dared oppose them. These beasts were known as the “Tainted Ones” the ones who no longer saw the reality in their actions, and were turning into mindless beasts. All dogs knew to avoid these, and they usually grouped up in small packs or hoards to make sure that they would be protected from everything that the Tainted opposed. There was fear growing, fear that they would all turn into these monsters and that there would be no hope for them, that the world was really lost. But as all, where you find darkness you find a light.

Those dogs who had the mental capability to ignore the taint began to grow smarter, faster, stronger. They didn’t hold the natural instinct that all dogs had, they could now speak, and were able to feel more than basic emotions. They were starting to turn into four-legged furry humans. Though whether this is a good or bad thing is yet to be known, as now the dogs started to know more of what was happening, and they were starting to learn that the world was now theirs. That they were now the most powerful animals in the world, and that they were on top of the food chain. Still, they knew that before that they could get ahead of themselves they would have to do something about the Tainted Ones. That those who didn’t have their new found minds were still a threat, and that they could easily wipe them out. So what would they have to do?

Some dogs posed an attack on those who were tainted, though others thought that this wouldn’t be a good plan, that the Tainted Ones would overwhelm them, that running into this would be the same as committing suicide. As the Tainted were starting to turn into more ghoulish monsters than dogs, with sharp claws and glowing eyes, clearly the radiation was affecting them - but in a bad way. Now the dogs are arguing over what will happen with the Tainted Ones, if they can defeat them or not. If there’s in hope in thinking that they will be able to, or if this is just a waste of time altogether. But whatever they decide with they’ll need to come up with something fast as the Tainted Ones are growing more powerful and deadly with each passing day, and that if they really don’t do anything that hope will end up truly being lost....

As you can probably guess the world is kind of.. well, it’s in a mess. The Tainted Ones grew aggressive and destroyed cars, houses, which led to many massive spread fires. Our roleplay takes place in one of the most well known cities in the world - New York. Much is destroyed, and there’s hardly any beauty left in the city. Even dogs who were not tainted grew reckless and did a lot of damage. The few buildings that are still in tack are used for the dogs that are trying to decide what will happen in their newfound world, and how their going to handle it all. So most dogs who weren’t deemed important enough, or didn’t really care enough now live on the streets. Some of the dogs still have their original homes, but most don’t, and if they live in a house it was owned by a total stranger to them. Some of the dogs have gotten desperate enough to sleep in burned down houses to avoid being in the streets where they are most likely to be attacked during the night.

Some of the parks are still in use, but even those that are, are now filled with trash from knocked over bins that have flowed through some of the wind. That’s why even if you find a good pond or pool there’s most likely a lot of trash and dirt in it. The only water that is used for drinking is from the sinks in houses, the dogs have learned how to operate the sinks by using various objects to help them. Food usually comes from whatever they can find, there is still a lot of things that are able to be eaten, however a lot of stuff is also spoiled and overdate and so when dogs would eat it they would become sick. Which is the last thing that they believe that they need right now. But they hope that something will happen before they have to resort to eating veggies and fruits.

The weather is usually overcast or rainy, however on somedays it can only be a mild fog, sunny days don’t really happen anymore, and haven’t for a few months before the humans were wiped out. When it rains- it pours nonstop for hours upon hours, and usually this will occur once or twice a week. Some dogs are now smart enough to put their water bowls underneath the rain outside so they have good useable water that doesn’t have a risk of being poisonous. But most haven’t grasped onto this yet.

Really the world is a turmoil destructive zone, and not somewhere in which life would like to be. It’s difficult and very dangerous for the dogs to be here, but there is no where else for them to turn.

|•| This is a literate roleplay, meaning that there is a four - five paragraph minimum. This also means that you need to have good grammar and spelling. Also because of this do not feel bad if you do not get accepted into this roleplay. It did take me awhile to become literate and confident in my skills. If you are literate and sure of it make sure to use your skills in this roleplay.

|•| Four character maximum. Two male, two female. I will not budge on this point at all. You may join with just one male or female, or two of the same gender. However you will have a five - seven day period afterwards in which you'll have to make an character(s) of the other gender, or your characters will be removed. Also there may be no wolf hybrids, or anything containing wolf blood, I will not accept them on the grounds this that is a dog roleplay.

|•| Please only join if you intend to be active and contribute. I know that we all have personal crisis's in our lives, or sometimes just have no access to the internet, but please notify me if this is happening to you. If you do not post with six days (without notice) your characters will be put under "frozen" you will get a PM notifying you of this, and if you do not respond in twenty four hours, you characters will be taken from the roleplay.

|•| You may not make your own characters be mates, neither will I allow there to be any pregnant females when the roleplay is opened. I've noticed that when someone sees that there can be a pregnant female, even if there's only one or two, everyone wants to make one. This will not change, so do not ask me if you are able to do so, because you will not be allowed. With that being said if a female becomes pregnant over the course of the roleplay you must make it realistic and last awhile. It doesn't happen overnight.

|•| Character's may die, however please contact me and the person who's dog will be killed with permission first. (More so the other person, but I'd still like to be informed.) The whole group will control NPC's, but that doesn't mean your dog can kill them all. Your dog is not all powerful, and the radiation did not give them superpowers or anything of the sort. This means your dogs can still get sick, injured, and die.

You are free to create your own bio. However add the basics (Name, age, gender, etc...) Also make sure that you add the character's persona and whatnot. Also making sure that you add their picture or a very detailed description; this makes it easier for me (and the other players) to visualize your character. As for anything else, be sure to do whatever you see fit
