(Role-play title inspired by the Kekkaishi episode title "Tokine and the Prince")
How it All Began... (In Other Words, The Backstory to This RP)
Autumn was an Australian Shepherd whose life couldn't be better. Her owner was caring and knowledgeable, and she, her parents and her three littermates were all well taken care of. She was raised to be a dog for obedience trials, so her main activity was learning tricks, although she did enjoy a run in the park every day. Luckily, her career that had begun when she was six months old was successful. Of course, due to her good behavior and appearance that was desirable to humans, she was selected to be bred. But she didn't want to stay inside. An unexplainable urge to explore tugged at her every day. Eventually, she got out, but not before she had met the other dog whom the humans had chosen.
This dog, named Prince, was a prodigy at shows, and was extremely well known. He and Autumn explored the area around their homes often, safely returning each day. What Autumn wasn't aware of was a pack of dogs hungry for territory. So one night when she and the other dog were out, they were unexpectedly jumped and attacked. Autumn tore away from the fight, but it was brutal, and the last thing she saw of Prince was hostile dogs piling on top of him.
This did make Autumn depressed, but her Aussie instinct still shone through and she returned to herself, though she didn't forget about Prince. She wanted to somehow prevent anyone from losing someone close, and begun to think of what would happen if she could eliminate those who attacked Prince. No, not eliminate... just defend others from them. She began with the idea of the Peacekeepers, who would defend those around the neighborhood from the enemy pack, the Hawk Organization, or a not-so-organized group more commonly known as the Hawk.

Current Times (Guidelines to the Setting)
The year is the same as the present day. Autumn has begun to construct the ideals of the Peacekeepers. She has no set territory but wanders the neighborhood of Willowshade. Currently she is looking to recruit members of the Peacekeepers who fit her expectations so she can keep any more dogs from being killed by the Hawk. Her current goals are to drive the Hawk out -- or eliminate them if necessary -- and if possible, to find out what is driving the hawk into such a feral state.
Rules (As Stated By My Art Teacher, "Things You Gotta Do")
1. Be fair. No godmoding, powerplaying, etc. You know the drill. (For those who don't, just don't do anything that gives yourself an unreal advantage over other players.) Yes, this means no wolf-dog hybrids.
2. Please, for appearance, don't use random images you find on the Internet. More often than not, it's copyrighted, which means it's against the law for anyone but the creator to post it. Either draw an image yourself or just use words (the latter is preferable).
3. Please do not beg [out of character] to be alpha male. I will only appoint an alpha male whose player has
effort in his or her posts and follows the rules. (You're automatically a normal member when you sign up, so there's no "rank" section of the form. Senior members are those who are deeply trusted by Autumn.)
4. I'd appreciate it if you didn't continuously post with just one other person and leave a lot of people behind.
5. Be respectful to fellow members. (This includes keeping it clean and not too gory or anything
)

Form Example (My Application)
Name: Autumn
Gender: Female
Breed: Australian Shepherd
Appearance: Black tricolor. Autumn has black around her eyes, her ears and the side of her face. She has light brown near each side (but not on) her muzzle and a light brown "eyebrow" dot above each eye. Her muzzle is white, and she also has a thin white stripe along her nose and up to her forehead. Her chest and underside are white. Most of her sides and back are black. Her legs are mostly light brown with white paws. As opposed to having a docked tail, her tail is long and fluffy, with a black base and fading into light brown, then white. Autumn has long fur and bright, brown eyes.
Personality: Autumn has a bright and energetic personality. She loves to run and exercise, and also work. She also likes to think, which makes the responsibility of being alpha female a good challenge. She tends to be snappy, though. She can be defensive and sensitive to insults, and can be a little quick to resort to force. In addition, she worries too much. However, if she's in a good mood, she's extremely friendly and joyful. A good mate would be someone who can handle her bouncy personality.
Bio: Read the backstory.
