The Deck of Cards
You're an alley dog. You were born on the street with no master, no friends, a free dog in this crazy world. You steal food, find shelter under benches and trees, while constantly running away from the dog catcher and the threat of custody hanging over your head. You want your freedom, and you will do anything to keep it. Every new moon, when the sky is darkest, you and the other alley animals meet behind the local Casino to discuss everything that has happened since your last meeting. The last meeting you attended was in an uproar about the new disappearances of comrades, disappearances like nothing the city has ever seen before. It could just be the work of a new dog catcher on the streets… or something more sinister. 52 have gone missing since the last meeting, granting this case the name Deck of Cards. What will you do about this? What will you do to keep your freedom you have tried so hard to keep? What will happen to you?
Greetings. I am Asphalt, leader and organizer of the New Moon gatherings. We have gathered here today to discuss the outbreak of a new dog catcher. Yes, as you may know, this dog catcher has been the unfortunate fate of many of our comrades this past moon. Hush! Wait! Call to order! No, it is nothing more than a new dog catcher! Nothing more! Yes, 52 have gone missing. Yes, I suppose you’re right, that is the amount of a deck of cards. Call to order! Now, to protect our freedom, we must do something to get in the way of this new catcher. Yes, and save our 52 comrades. I need volunteers to help our cause. Call to order! These volunteers will work together to track this new dog catcher. Once they are found, if backup is needed, please see fit to start a bark track. No, nothing bad will happen to said volunteers. You will form a pack, nothing can hurt you when you are in a pack. Be careful not to let them solo you out. Do you understand how important that is? Good. Remember, a pack is as strong as its weakest link. Do I have my volunteers? Good. With the moons light, you will find this dog catcher and save our comrades. It is up to you. Good luck, chasers of the Deck of Cards. Meeting adjourned.

Hey all! Yes that was pretty vague, if anyone has any questions, please ask! (Pre-answers to some questions probably) you can have had many charries as you wish, just don’t go overboard! Yes, the story will center around the volunteers, the chasers of the Deck of Cards. We will develop the plot as we move towards. I was thinking they lived in a suburb off of a city, so not too city-like but still dirty with allies and trash dumps and such. I’ll post my charrie later!
Noon says hypc. Are you hype for this! Me too!

Name: Jade
Age: Close to two years
Gender: Female
Species: Siberian husky/Alaskan malamute/Keeshond(pronounced KAYZ-hond) mix, and also half wolf
Appearance: Almost all of Jade's coat is mixed gray with some brown and black tones kind of like a Keeshond but with more gray and less brown; but with some white markings like a husky or a malamute would have. No white markings on her face though; and white belly fur and brown eyes. Small for a husky, malamute or wolf, but bigger than a Keeshond; she was kind of a runt. She has a relatively slim frame, and not just because she's an alley dog and all. She just doesn't have a hefty frame on the relative scale.
Personality: Introverted, observant, aloof and distrustful. She keeps to herself mostly. Comes across as a little bit prickly and surly; not a good socializer. She always hides her emotions and has vowed never to feel for anyone, but humans most of all, becauses she's experienced nothing but betrayal from them. Keeps her cool very well nearly all of the time, but when she's reached her limit of patience, she's a force to be reckoned with for sure. Very intelligent and clever and uses her wits in a fight.
Something random about her: Jade doesn't actually dislike cats, but she supremely distrusts them.
How she reacted to this meeting: She didn't really appear to... well, react that much, but she's in with it for sure.
Background: Her mom was a husky/malamute/Keeshond mix who ran away with a wolf(Jade's dad), because of her irresponsible, mean owner. Jade and her brothers Falcon and Chinook were born about a year later. Jade was kind of the runt of the litter, but she kept up with her brothers quite well, and outmatched them in brains; she had her father's intelligence. (Her mother, though smart enough, was always a bit naive.) But when Jade and her siblings were about 6 months old, their mother got into a fight with a great Dane. By the time their dad got there to help, she was already dying. In a rage, he went at the dog who'd attacked, and held out well. The Dane and Jade's father were both stubborn to the last, so the fight dragged on for a long time. But when both dogs were tired and bleeding, in that one second where they paused for a breather, the great dane managed to get to the wolf's throat. Then the Dane crept off to lick his wounds, and though he died a day later, Jade and her siblings were still parentless. The weaker of her brothers, Chinook, did not last the next month, and soon after that, Falcon disappeared, leaving Jade to fend for herself alone in the dark alleys. That's pretty much it, I guess.
Other: @Claaws, do you want to ship Jade and Summit?

Ha haa! You captured Fang perfectly!
(August 17, 2018 - 8:08 pm)
Haha ok hold on slow down...
1. Yes Aspen, we can ship Summit and Jade! ALTHOUGH, can we wait until a little into the RP until we start actually shipping?
2. TUX THOSE ARE ADORABLE! *dies instantly from overload of artistic talents*
3 *recovers* Alrightly, @EVERYONE! The kidnapped, captured, the Deck of Cards, ARE THE ONLY DOGS with an actual real suit. SO, IF YOUR ANIMAL VOLUNTEERED, and HAVE NOT BEEN CAPTURED then you will not be part of a real suite (so no Spades, Clubs, Hearts, Dimonds)
Of course, your background charries have suites because they are a part of the 52 captured and is in the Deck of Cards. Yes, I guess the Jokers are in there also, so feel free to take one (or both) of those!
The Spare Suite is sort of like, the Jokers for every suite. Look up the definition of Jokers in a Deck of Cards people! So yes, when referring to the suite we will say, 'The volunteers, or the Chasers of the Deck of Cards are the Spare Suite.' (lol for example) But when doing like 'seven of -' we can do 'seven of Freedom' To make it sound cooler.
Lol its just an idea it probably makes no sense but I do ask if people like this idea if everyone can partake in it! And I thiiiink there are exactly 13 people at this moment (plus a saved spot probably) so we can go through with this idea if yalls like! And we wont start off calling each other by those names, we could have our charries discuss it on their journey.
And guys we can start RPing whenever! I think we are ready. (unless theres a spot being held, then of course we'll hold off for a few more days. THIS MEANS YOU ROUGH! We dont start till we start!)
(August 17, 2018 - 10:42 pm)
Okay Nova (NOT CAPTURED) is an ace of freedom
Sky(Captured I can change his name if needed) Is the ace of spades
Comet (Captured) Jack of Spades

~ Cosmos ~
Cosmos was waiting for the pack to pass by her alley. It was dark, as the new moon was waxing. She was shadowed by a pile of crates.
Cosmos heard a howling in the distance, and took that as a sign that they were near. She slipped out to join the pack.
To a human's eye, all there would have been were oddly shaped shadows. In fact, they were the twelve chasers of the deck of cards.
She ran along the seven of spare, Sky. The roads and sidewalks were too confining, so Cosmos leaped up a ramp, and landed on the roof. There, all she would be was a silhoutte against the starry sky. The adventure was only starting.
~ End ~
Hey, can Cosmos be ten of spare, if nobody's taken it yet?
(August 18, 2018 - 5:17 pm)
Oh, so they are like code names? Cool! Um... Can Fang just be *GASP* CAN SHE BE THE PHANTOM OF SPARE?? That would be so cool! It would symbolize the missing animals AND it would symbolize Fang! Okay, Fang's code name is Phantom of Spare! Tee hee I love it...
(August 19, 2018 - 12:49 am)
Oh, actually I think that they represent cards, like two of spare, jack of spare, ace of spare. :)

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT... Insomniactic, could Cosmo be Sky's sister?
Sky lifted her head and stared at the stars as Cosmos ran towards her, then slowed to talk to her. "'Ello, Sky." "Yes. hello, Cosmos." "How are y' doin'?" "I am fine, thank you. How are you?" "Same. Ey, Sky, mind tellin' those yappers over there that we'r not gonna bite?" she purred. "Maybe tomorrow. for now, might i invite you to walk on the rooftops with me?" "Sure. why're you 'ere, Sky?" "Hmm... What do you mean, here?" "The chasers of the Deck of Cards?"do you want me to tell you the morally correct answer, or the morally incorrect truth?" "Stop wit' the twisty-turny speech wit' the big words and tell me the truth!" "I just want to help people." They leaped over another roof. "Yeh, righ'. I did say the truth, did'n I?" her torn ear twitched. "so just tell it t' m' straight!" "Alright." Sky purred "You can never have to many people to accomplish your ends, and if we succeed then that'll give me quite a few. Also, it's only a matter of time before I get captured too" "Mmm. same." "I thought so."
Um... Insomniactic, i... uh... i hope yer... i mean, your, okay with the accent.
(August 19, 2018 - 10:27 pm)
Yeah, sure, they can be siblings! Also, yeah, I'm fine with the accent, though I probably won't write it :)
