The Plot;;
Rio was the daughter of the best-known chief police dog in the city of Detroit, Michigan. Her father, Charlie, was a hero of all heros, risking his life every day to save the innocent threatened by the bad guys that still lurk within the shadows. He lived a good life filled with action and respect, but sadly it seemed his life ended too soon. Charlie had passed away from being shot in one of his lungs, leaving the only female on the force to lead the squad, his daughter, Rio.

Females weren't treated with as much respect as the males were, and Rio had a tough time getting everyone to follow under her leadership. One male, however, was different from the others. Would all the males' negative relationship with Rio curse the squad when a new and dangerous mission befalls them? Or would a certain dognapping bring everyone a little bit closer?

The Rules;; ((The hidden phrase changes with every new bio posted!))

- This roleplay is advanced, which means no less than a paragraph of decent grammar and spelling. Any less will automatically end up with a warning.
- No wolfdogs or other hybrids. Rio and --- are the only hybrids in the squad. The rest will be pure-bred German Shepherds. FYI- German Shepherds never have blue, green, or red eyes. Yellow, amber, and brown are acceptable.
- No g-moding or powerplaying. Everyone should know this rule. If not, it's an automatic warning.
- Don't make your character perfect. Nobody's perfect. Create some flaws in your character's personality or physical ability, it makes things more fun.
- Please used proper punctuation. It makes things easier to read and understand.
- You may have up to 2 characters, but be sure you can handle them.
- Please keep on-topic. I will allow a few things slide, like another user bringing in a bad guy in some abandoned building, but nothing like a wolf suddenly appearing in the city and their cahracter fall in love with it. No. this would result in a warning.
- There will be swearing in this roleplay. I will not allow the swearing to go overboard. That will result in two warnings or being kicked out of this roleplay. We use '*' instead of typing the whole word.
- No whining or complaining when nobody posts. This will be a steady-moving roleplay, meaning that nobody is rushed to post. however, if a user does not post within a week, without any information Pmed to me or Whisper, that user will be taken out of the roleplay. We don't need dead characters taking up vacant slots.
- If you grow tired of the roleplay or are too busy to take part in it, PM me or Whisper why you're leaving in a sincere manner. Having an attitude will be reported to the Mods. If you have read the rules and have successfully PMed one of us and have been accepted, post "Whatcha gonna do?" on your bio post.
- Please enjoy yourselves. We don't make roleplays just to waste time. We put effort in typing posts and interacting with other members. that's what roleplays are for. ;]

The Cast:

- Rio & Nero ~ Pecario
- Max & Sergeant ~ Whisper
- Enzo ~ Aniu Caelestis
- Talon ~ Dakota SFWolf
- Spike ~ VividLegacy

Squad Name: K-9 Rio
Alias: Rio
Gender: Female
Breed: German Shepherd Dog/American Indian Dog (98%/2%)
Age: 3 years
Appearance:
Personality: Rio is like a brewing storm, a firecracker ready to explode. She is very unpredictable and has rapid mood swings. Granted Rio has a rather wild personality, but she does have the tendancy to be kind and caring, but most of the time she's seen as stubborn and headstrong. Sure she is, but what other way could she be when she's surrounded by males who look down upon her? Bold and brave, she makes her actions speak for themselves, throwing herself into a situation before thinking if it's the right thing to do or not. Being slightly witty she can manage to get out of a sticky situation pretty quickly, but her stubborn and headstrong nature make it a challenge at times. Rio carves her own path and makes her own decisions rather than following others. She has also been known to be aggressive in tense situations, sometimes resulting in her blocking out the world, and losing her cool, and lashing out at practically anything that moves. Never has she ever felt love towards another, or any serious relationship in that matter, and this results in her feeling lonely most of the time; though, she has learned how to cope with solitude.
Relationships: None yet, still grieving over her father's death.
Fears: Being shot, dognapped, being rejected, losing her job, and losing her squad.
History: Rio was born and raised at the station. She never really knew her mother, Belle, but she did know that Belle was very a popular dog. Seldom did she spend any time with Belle, due to the fact that she always came up with an excuse to be with her father to train. Rio was always a daddy's girl, and because of this Charlie spent as much time as he could with his only daughter between missions. For three long years, Rio, along with her handler, Officer Lee, trained with such passion and determination. It didn't take long for Charlie to grow proud of his daughter, she had the makings of a great Chief police dog. Tragically, Rio's father died just a few days after she was appointed as Leutenant, and still she grieves for her loss. Now she must decide if she could handle a bunch of males that seem to disregard her.
Extras: Rio is the only female on the team and is riddiculed by all the males.

Squad Name: K-9 Nero
Alias: Nero
Gender: Male
Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Age: 5 years
Appearance:
Personality:
Relationships:
Fears: He claims he fears nothing, acting as if he's the bold hero who laughs in the face of danger. On the contrary, he is certainly afraid of whips, small cramped spaces, spiders, and fire.

"It Was Worth It"

Squad Name: K-9 Enzo
Alias: Enzo or Enz
Gender: Male
Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Age: 2.5 years
Appearance:
Personality: A big goof, mostly. But with that, Enzo is also a ladies man. He makes it his hobby to flirt with any attractive female that crosses his path. A charmer, he likes to cuddle and knows how to let a girl have a good time. His relationships usually end because he gets too silly and doesn't take it seriously enough. He's still fairly young and immature, but his loyalty knows no bounds. Despite his class clown attitude, when he hears an order he snaps to attention right away. Also, aside from when he's around Rio or flirting with other females, he's rather submissive. He likes to tease his teammates playfully, especially Rio. With her father's recent death, he's toned down on the teasing for a little bit, but he'll still give her a hard time now and again. He's a fast learner and is usually quite attentive. He doesn't get distracted easily when he's got a plan in mind.
Relationships: Depends on the day. Since he's such a huge flirt, he's almost always in a relationship. Trouble is, he can't really be serious about them. He hasn't figured out that the purpose of dating is to find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. Needless to say, he's attracted to any female with a cute tail wag. Unfortunately, he usually ends up with females that are a lot like him in immaturity, so it may be a while before he "seriously" dates anyone.
Fears: Death, being unhappy, not knowing what to do
History: He was bought from a German Shepherd breeder by his Italian American owner and partner, thus his Italian name. When the man brought him home, he realized immediately the potential the Enzo had. Right away he showed great interest in every aspect of his surroundings, especially a certain red and yellow squeaky ball. He learned all of the commands and tricks of the trade quickly. The only problem he seemed to show was motivation - or rather, focusing his motivation. Of course, when he was allowed to carry his soccer ball around more often, it fixed that problem. He now knows when it's time for business and when it's time for play...mostly. He likes to pick at his other teammates and flirt, but he usually stops quickly if told to. The death of the chief has toned him down a little, but it probably won't last for long.
Extras: He adores his red and yellow squeaky soccer ball toy.

"I Did This For You"

Squad Name: K-9 Talon
Alias: Talon
Gender: Male
Breed: German Shepherd Dog
Age: 3 years
Appearance:
Personality: Strong, blunt, arrogant those are all words that could really describe Talon. He has the same energy that could bring about a lot of in-fighting everytime he's around the force. He also hates the fact that Rio and a fae nonetheless is the one issuing orders around. That though does not mean he will do anything become a saboteur, in fact he can be very honorable and respects that a person in charge should stay in charge. He is also a major flirt showing off to other faes who will pay attention which happens most of the time.
Relationships: Back in the academy he had a rivarly with Rio and that still seems to happen to this day. He also won't admit it but he does have a crush on Rio.
Fears: Losing Rio to someone else, guns, snakes, and water (he can't swim)
History: Talon grew up in a very rough life thus explains the tough exterior. When he was pup he was always watching his parents involved in dog cage-fighting where his owners mercilessly would beat them everytime they lost a fight. One day they got too old and were shot leaving Talon to fight. Months and months Talon kept fighting for human profit but on the eve of summer, the ASPCA and the Detroit Police Force found the fight club and arrested his owners. It was then that he met Charlie who gave him a choice. Either go the local animal shelter where he probably won't be adopted by another human or join the K-9 unit and help bring to justice other criminals. Talon chose to join the force but when Rio became chief he wasn't too happy, it took him a long time to accept Rio as the new chief but eventually he learned to cope and focused all of his energy to helping Rio.
Extras: Never take off his special harness or the spike collar other wise you are going to get it!!!!

Sorry about this but bump

Should we start since it seems no one else is really interested? I can work on a bio for another char, too, if that would help.

Since last week two other members, VividLegacy and monsoon, have PMed me their sample posts, which were acceptable, and have been accepted in putting their character's biographies in this topic. However, it seems they either failed to find the topic or have forgotten.

I will start the roleplay most likely tonight or tomorrow, depending if I have the time or not tonight.

Aniu- You could add another character if you wish to, i won't force it onto you. :3

bump

Oh, sorry guys! I keep forgetting about this! I'll edit my bio into this post ASAP, okay! I haven't forgotten, I've just been busy. And for a while my internet was going really slow.

Squad Name: K-9 Spike
Alias: Spike
Gender: Male
Breed: American White Shepherd (White German Shepherd)
Age: 3 years, 7 months
Appearance:
Personality: Spike is a brave, hard working, cocky, confident male. He loves the power and responsibility that he has on the Police Force. Always trying to be one-up to the other dogs, he wasn't happy that Rio was chosen to be the leader instead of him. Understatement of the century. Spike teases and insults Rio often to try to make her give up her position as leader. He does have a soft side though, as he loves his trainer who raised him as a pup to be on the Police Force. He'll do anything that the trainer tells him, even if he has to risk his life or even back down to another dog. He likes to hang around more submissive dogs so he doesn't have to be in competition. He thinks that most other breeds are inferior.
Relationships: Spike has 'high standards' when it comes to females. He wants an athletic yet feminine, high-class but not snobbish, beautiful, purebred White German Shepherd (though he might settle for a regular German Shepherd if need be).
Fears: Loud, sudden noises, like a horn or gunshot
History: Spike was born in the home of a high-class, responsible breeder. He was first born in the litter and could and liked to dominate his siblings. The police, looking for more dogs for a future team, spotted Spike and noticed that he had real potential as a police dog. The breeders were very generous and gave him to the police for free, so Spike thinks it must be his destiny to be remembered as a hero on the force. He spent a lot of years in training and at certain points they thought that he may not be right for the job, but at these points he proved them wrong.
Extras: Spike wears a red collar when he's not on the job.

Hmm, since Monsoon hasn't shown interest in posting their character bio, should we get started?

OoC||

You're absolutely right, Aniu. And now that I have muse, the roleplay is now in progress! ;D The starting setting is in the police station as the dogs are waking up from a long night of investigation.

IC||

Sunlight slipped through the opaque blinds in the Detroit Police Department as the day swept through the city. It was like any normal morning for an officer; get up at four in the morning, arrive at work at five, and wait for orders from the chief. Little did the teams know that today was only the begining of a journey of a lifetime.

Locked away in rather large kennels, almost like prison cells, were the dogs of the K9 Unit. Nearly each pen was filled with one dog, although since there was a drastic decline of dogs and officers many were empty. One dog, located right beside the doorway that opened up to the line of kennels was begining to stir. Laying on the flat bed that sat in one of the far corners was Rio, the only female dog in the whole station. Ever since her father's tragic death, she was forced to take his place, and truth be told that was the last thing she wanted. The stress of being disrespected and ignored nearly caused her to go insane and leave her job, but her heart refused to fail Charlie's dying wish. It's the least she could do for him.

As the light from the rising sun seeped into the kennel room through the open door to the busy office area, Rio groaned before her icy blue optics opened to narrow slits. When she realized what time it was she jumped up, while releasing a satisfying yawn, before she neaded over to her food and water bowl. Every morning, at least five thirty in the latest, the dog's handlers fill their dogs' bowl while they're snoozing. The mutt quickly gulped down her breakfast and lapped up a few mouthfulls of water before scampering toward the gate of her kennel, where she waited for her handler every morning. Just as excpected, her handler walked in right on schedule. He walked up to the kennel, which had a silver platter with the name "Canine Rio" carved in it, before opening the gate and quickly latching a leash onto his partner. Rio whined and wagged her tail, as she knew this meant that the day was starting and a new investigation would be underway. The only drawback was that everyone else was still sleeping.

The other handlers would be coming in any minute for their dogs, and they were expected to be wide awake and waiting to be leashed before being lead into the meeting room. It was one of the chief dog's duties to get everyone up and in line before there were any problems, and being ridiculed like she was, Rio knew this would be a challenge she was willing, or unwilling to take. As she and her handler walked down the line of kennels, the female barked a wake-up call. "Alright everyone! Rise and shine! It's a brand new day and that means there's gonna be a brand new mission!" Her blazing icy blue eyes peered into every kennel as she passed them, observing the canines still locked up inside. The early bird gets the worm, ya know.



Today was just another day to pick on the female. A large blakc and tan German Spephered had been awake for a good hour or so, he's been with the force for a good five years so he had the routine carved in his memory. His bowls were already empty from midnight hunger pains, so he should be good for a few hours. Still, being hungry or thirsty was not the primary concern for him. As head heard an officer enter the premesis, he stalked to the front of his kennel before sitting in a prideful manner; ears erect, head up high, and chest held out.

Whenever Rio and her handler walked past his kennel, with a silver plate with the name "Canine Nero" carved in it, the male glared at the female as he sat verys still. Rio stopped and glared right back at him, obviously not intimidated by his intense stare. This only caused discomfort for Nero, as his neck fur slightly bristled before his lips slightly uncovered his ivory fangs.

"You'd better keep your cool, Nero, before I fire you." The female muttered, annoyed at the male's sudden act of aggression.

Nero growled lowly. "Is that a threat?" He grinned before he scooted closer to the bars separating them. "As if a little female like you can decide who stays and who goes. Your father would have never said something like that to me." He smirked at her. As a result, Rio barked loudly at him, which slightly surprised Nero and sent him back a step before casually settling down again in a bold position. He wasn't phased by a female's constant change in emotion. Nero watched as Rio and her handler continued down the isles of kennels before he looked up to find his handler at the gate of his pen. The female officer opened the gate and quickly latched Nero's leach onto his choke collar before exiting into the main lobby and then into the meeting room, where everyone was to gather within the hour. After everyone is accounted for, the mission would be handed out and actions will be taken.

"Her father isn't here anymore Nero, but she still wouldn't be able to fire any us, she needs us more than we need her" came a smart remark from the kennel next to Nero read the label "Canine Talon." In all essence, him and Rio have butted heads against each other since their time at the academy but when he heard that Rio became chief, he was totally bittered about it. The thing was though, was that Talon could never totally disrespect Rio, all he did was just try to humiliate her however possible so he could feel a little better.

Talon walked over to his food bowl and quickly ate what was in it in that he would be ready with a full stomache and not like Nero where he ended up with midnight cravings. At last his gate was opened with his handler at the door and he crawled out of his "cell" to join alongside with Rio and Nero only to see the rest of his members still asleep well. Why did I have to be the nearest, he thought but found the reason as the sun rose higher shining on Rio and without realizing it he let out a sort of wolf whistle.

Spike groaned as he heard the female's wake up call. Why should she be so perky, the stupid little mutt. How could she lead a squad, she wasn't even a purebred, and not even attractive. And is his mind, if a female wasn't purebred or attractive, she was next to worthless. Of course, almost all mutts were worthless. Even if Rio was only a speck away from purebred, she had no respect for her superiors. Her dad was a real character and a worthy leader, but in Spike's own mind, Rio had very few of the characteristics that had made Charlie so great.

Spike looked up at his master carrying his food dish, engraved with 'Canine Spike'. He leaned up against his master, giving her a sort of hug with his forelegs. He wasn't rough though. He had been trained not to lick her, but he still nuzzled her. Of course, female humans were a different story. They raised him, fed him, bathed him and most of all, were worthy leaders. All humans, that was. She gently pushed him down and placed his food dish on the ground and filled his water at the tap installed next to his kennel.

After Spike was fed and watered, he returned to his teammates to find Rio attempting to argue with them.
"Talon, you're absolutely right. If it weren't for her daddy, Rio wouldn't even be a part of this team. Would you now, Rio?" Spike said, putting a little extra emphasis on her name.

Spike knew he was quite two-faced. When humans were about, he acted perfect and happy and was even willing to cut short an argument with Rio or any of the others to wag his tail and happily run to his masters. Whereas, with dogs... I think it shall become rather obvious.

A lithe white German Shepherd Dog lay on his side, snoring peacefully, dreaming of green fields and rabbits to chase. But unfortunately for him, the dreamwas cut short as a high-pitched female voice wound its way through his ears. At first he thought it was some girl he'd met on the street, but as his eyes slowly raised open and consciousness found him, he realized the voice was far too unpleasant to be that. Rio, the new chief of the canine police unit, was standing over with some of the others. By the sound and tone of their voices, it seemed they'd gotten into their usual contest of, 'Who can pick on Rio the most.'. The object of the past time they'd come to start up with increasing frequency was to make the only female on the team as uncomfortable as possible. Of course, the "game" had only intensified when she was named chief after her father's death, and as would be expected tensions were high.

Enzo was probably one of the few who didn't really resent her so much for getting her position, but that was largely due to the fact that he was young and, having not been with the force for long, would not have been promoted to it. As quick-witted as he was, the humans knew that he didn't have the experience or the intuition yet. This isn't to say that he didn't think one of the other males deserved the rank, though.

The male stretched and rolled onto his feet, gobbling the food and lapping up the water like the others, already anticipating the day's activities. He reached down and grabbed his red and yellow soccer ball, giving it a squeak before waiting patiently When his partner, a human male who was an Italian-American, came through the door, he was already at his kennel door with "Canine Enzo" emblazoned on it, his tail beating the metal sides loudly in excitement. Even after the leash was attached to his collar, he waited patiently for the command to "heel" before walking forward with his master, his front paws and legs always in-step and parallel with the human's legs. When they reached the other group, he sat when instructed and upon being scratched behind the ears and told to relax, he looked to his teammates, a grin from ear to ear on his face.

He leaned and popped his ball out of his mouth at his feet before greeting them with, "Morning, Nero, Spike, Talon. Why Rio, you look well-rested. Weren't dreaming about me again now, were you? You know you have to keep your mind focused on your duties, especially since you're chief now." He chuckled. "If you don't pay attention, you might get hurt, then you'll have to stay behind while we do all the work."

Chiding and minor insults out for the moment, he reached down and picked his favorite toy back up again, applying pressure slowly with his jaws to make the thing squeak in a slow, drawn out manner.
