Otho's Pack
The largest pack in the area, they have some of the best hunting and scavenging grounds, and their borders are regularly enforced. Violence is discouraged within the pack and all ranks are appointed by the leader. If a pack member disagrees with rank assignments they are welcome to speak to the leader about it and he may make a change, but no positions are to be challenged for by fighting. Dogs of all breeds are welcomed.

Leader - [1/1]
The most respected dog in the pack. The leader appoints when patrols leave and where they go to, and they also make all the tough decisions. They eat first and are completely in control of the pack and which dogs take up which ranks. Their word is law.

◘ Otho | Male | Dachshund | BlazeRed (#27478) ◘

Advisor - [1/1]
Usually a dog that's very knowledgeable in battle plans, the Advisor acts somewhat like a Second-In-Command. When there are fights they help the leader come up with strategies, and they also support and advise the leader on what to do when a tough situation arises. They are chosen by the Leader, but can be stripped of their rank by vote if the majority of the pack feels they are not suitable for the job.

◘ Tania | Female | Saint Bernard | Kittenixie (#126870) ◘

Bodyguards - [2/2]
Dogs who hold this rank need to be large, intimidating dogs who know how to fight. They also need to be extremely loyal to the Leader, because they are tasked with the important job of protecting him when he leaves the pack's base and may need to risk their lives to do so. They are well-respected and eat second, alongside the Advisor.

◘ Cairo | Male | Canis Panther | Blue (#95211) ◘
◘ Beatrice | Female | Great Dane x Doberman Pinscher | Tater Tot (#33076) ◘

The Excused [Closed For Now]
Pups under the age of one, elders, and nursing or heavily pregnant females. The Excused are the dogs who are unable to join in on hunts or patrols. They have their own room to sleep in and they are supported by the rest of the pack. They often eat first, alongside the Leader.

◘ None to Begin With (Dogs may receive this rank in the roleplay) ◘

Gatherers - [3/4]
These dogs are usually the medium to small-sized breeds, who have strong noses and can run fast. They are tasked with going out to find food for the pack, through both scavenging old human buildings and hunting. Sometimes gathering parties are accompanied by one fighter for safety. They eat after the advisor and bodyguards, alongside the fighters.

◘ Open ◘
◘ Amber | Female | German Shepherd | allo (#134696) ◘
◘ Maya | Female | Italian Greyhound | Kittenixie (#126870) ◘

Fighters - [4/4]
The majority of the large, bulky dogs end up in this rank. They are trained warriors, and their main job is to patrol the borders and take care of any trespassers, sometimes they may be assigned to guard a gathering party. They eat after the advisor and bodyguards, alongside the gatherers.

◘ Pax | Female | Shetland Sheepdog | For never, forever (#61889) ◘
◘ Steele | Male | American Pit Bull Terrier | Blue (#95211) ◘
◘ Oliver | Male | Bernese Mountain Dog | allo (#134696) ◘
◘ Athena | Female | Great Dane | Gold (#97673) ◘

Lackey - [1/1]
Although the name isn't very appealing, the lackey of the pack isn't treated badly. They are simply a dog who doesn't have sufficient skills to be either a gatherer or a fighter, but is still allowed the protection and food of the pack as long as they help around by doing all the small jobs such as tidying up around camp, softening bedding, or delivering messages within the pack. They eat last.

◘ Reserved by Husk (#37594) ◘


The Rebels
These were the dogs who were still loyal to Illarion after he was murdered, either driven out of the pack or choosing to leave of their own free will. They've grouped together with one common goal: avenging their previous Leader's death. They're all very large dogs and they are much more disorganized than Otho's Pack, but they're fine with living that way, and actually seem to prefer it. Ranks are earned through fights which are judged by the Leader.

Leader - [1/1]
The Leader of the rebels has many of the same privileges as the Leader of the pack. They are respected by all the other group members and they get the first bite of any prey that's brought back. The Leader of the rebels is perceived to be the strongest, best fighter of the group. They lead all the charges against Otho's pack.

◘ Dorran | Male | Ibizan Hound | For never, forever (#61889) ◘

Scouts - [2/2]
The only dogs that are distinguished from the rest of the subordinates. Scouts attempt to spy on the pack and report any information they find back to the rebels. They do this in hopes of finding a weakness within the pack that they can exploit. They also occasionally go out of the territory and try to recruit other dogs. They eat second.

◘ Shiva | Male | Saluki | For never, forever (#61889) ◘
◘ Atticus | Male | Afghan Hound | Tater Tot (#33076) ◘

Followers - [2/3]
The subordinates of the group. They patrol the borders and find food, though they rarely hunt, and the main reason for the rebels claiming the park was to make a statement to the pack. They rely on scavenging to get their food because they are very large breeds of dog, and they can't move very swiftly. They must bring all their findings back to the Leader. They eat last.

◘ Beretta | Female | Belgian Tervuren | BlazeRed (#27478) ◘
◘ Drill | Male | Beauceron | Tater Tot (#33076) ◘
◘ Open ◘


Loners
Dogs that live on their own have to be crafty and adaptable. Because the pack and the rebels have claimed the best food sources, they have a harder time of surviving, and while many loners end up perishing, there are some who thrive living on their own. Loners are usually dogs who were strays, surviving without the help of others even before the humans left. (These spots are not necessary to start the roleplay. They're just here for those who want them.) - [2/2]

◘ Syndus | Male | Longhaired Whippet | Tater Tot (#33076) ◘
◘ Lucky | Female | German Shepherd Mix | allo (#134696) ◘

Otho's Estate: The villa that Otho and his owners used to live in, and currently, the Pack's camp. It's a large, spacious house with three bedrooms on the second floor. One room for the Excused, one room for the Advisor, and the master bedroom for the Leader, with his two bodyguards sleeping right outside his door on comfortable, plush dog beds. The rest of the dogs sleep on the bottom floor, and while they don't get their own rooms, they are still welcome to lounge on whatever soft furniture they can find. The Estate is conveniently located right next to the Pack's half of Narrowbridge Park. The house is located in the upper-class suburbs, and is surrounded by several other large estates, perfect for scavenging for food in. The garden is large, and on rare occasions small prey animals will wander in.

Narrowbridge Park: A huge park split almost exactly in half by a long river that flows through it, seperating the border between the Pack, who have the West side, and the Rebels, who have claimed the East. There are all types of prey animals here: rabbits, squirrels, voles, birds of all sorts, and even fish in the river, for those fast enough to catch them. It's easy to see why it's the pack's favorite hunting ground. There's also a restaurant by the river just a few metres away from the bridge, just on the Pack's territory.

Orchid Plaza: A shopping mall just less than half a block away from the East side of Narrowbridge Park, it got its name from the colorful orchids it once had on display, though they have been dead for weeks now due to lack of maintenance. This mall is the place that the rebels call their home, finding the restaurants and food courts useful for scavenging around in. They sleep in a furniture shop. It's not a bad place to live, but it's large and attracts other animals such as raccoons and cats, which often need to be fought off. There's a fake river running through it as well, where humans used to be able to take gondola rides. But the water's stagnant and has turned green in color, so it's not advisable to drink from it.

Cat House: Though this brick villa is very close to the pack's territory, most dogs tend to avoid it. It had belonged to an elderly, retired woman who had six cats. The cats have taken over the house since the woman left, and they've invited strays in as well, turning it into a safe house for felines. They chase away any dog that comes near it with tooth and claw, but some smaller loners occasionally attempt to sneak in and steal their food.

Hart Street: A long street located just outside of the rebels' territory. It's in a neighborhood that, when the humans were still around, had a very high crime rate. Now it's very popular amongst loners because of all the dumpsters and little restaurants to look for food in. If a dog is desperate enough, they may even try to hunt the many rats that run around on the street.




Rats: Though some might try in desperate times, it really isn't a good idea to eat rats. They often carry diseases, and even getting bitten by one of the tiny things can get a dog sick. Rats are especially a threat to smaller dog breeds. They are most commonly found running around on Hart Street, but there are also quite a few of them in Orchid Plaza.

Foxes: They can be found all throughout Narrowbridge Park, some of the braver ones even enter the garden of Otho's Estate. They're smaller than most dog breeds, but they can be very crafty and deceiving, often cornering dogs seperated from their hunting groups and stealing their prey. If you're in a large group, however, they'll probably leave you be.

Lone Dogs: Other dogs can be one of the most dangerous threats in the city if you're on your own. Most lone dogs are unpredictable, and there's a lot of things they'd do to get a scrap of food off you. Some aren't very fond of pack dogs, since they took all of the best scavenging grounds.

Raccoons: Even though they're possible prey for some of the larger dogs, raccoons can still be a danger. They scavenge in many of the same places that dogs do, such as Orchid Plaza, and they can also be encountered while hunting in Narrowbridge Park. They tend to avoid dogs but can become aggressive when defending their food.

Cats: Luckily, cats tend to stay off dog territory, so the two don't come into contact very often. But when facing a cat in battle many dogs make the mistake of thinking that they will be an easy target because they are smaller. Do not be fooled, their claws sting and many dogs have been blinded when raked across the face by a cat.

Humans: Some humans weren't able to make it out of the city, and now roam the streets looking for food just like the animals. Humans that are left behind are sickly, but the disease spreads slowly, and some still have strength left in them. Sometimes, when previous pets see these humans they try to approach them, but they are usually armed and may even try to kill dogs if they get too close, seeing them as carriers of the disease.
