Lights and shadows criss-cross the city, a symbol for its struggle between good and evil. The streets are never safe and never have been for the dogs. Humans dominate their world, posing a constant threat. Little do they know, the biggest threat is amassing an army each passing day.
Diablo's Pack rules the streets, bullying the strays and bending them to their will. Any dog that crosses them is either killed or forced into service. Nothing escapes Diablo's notice.
The dogs of the street have a choice to make: submit to Diablo or band together and fight.

Name: Aragon
Pack (Diablo's or Strays): Diablo's
Rank: Fighter
Breed: Doberman Pinscher
Gender: Male
Age: 5 years
Description: Black and rust coat, russet eyes, cropped ears, docked tail
Personality: He is known to be a brave and fearless male who rarely goes down without a good fight. Incredibly arrogant and full of self-confidence, Aragon is someone who has a lot of frightening rumours going on about him. The male rarely respects anyone apart from his alpha, believing that only opponents at the same level of fighting abilities are worthy of his attention. He is incredibly full of himself and doesn't miss any opportunities to make fun of others or tease them. However, when the time calls for it, Aragon can also become serious and protect others, even though he doesn't like to solve the problems of others for them. Easily irritated and proud, he isn't someone easily forgotten and has picked up quite the name on the streets. He is cocky and ignorant, often appearing as a naïve dog while actually being quite cunning and intelligent. Even so, Aragon easily follows his instincts when faced with a more skilled opponent in a fight.
Kin: Aria (littermate)
Crush: None yet
Mate: None yet
Pups: None yet
Song (optional): Ready Set Let's Go by Sam Tinnesz
History: Aragon was born into a family with a hobby of raising dogs of different breeds in their home. His parents were healthy dogs who had won many shows; they were regarded as influential canines. Unfortunately, they had a small litter of just two pups, and their son was nothing like them – he was fairly scrawny, weak, and tiny. The owners didn't want to keep a dog like him, so when he was just over a month old, Aragon was kicked out to the streets, left to die from starvation. Even so, after a few days of wandering all around the city, he was found by an elderly female stray. Her pups had grown up long ago and she was now spending her days taking care of the unfortunate strays found in the city. Taking Aragon under her care, she nurtured him into a big and powerful young fighter over the next six months. To improve his fighting skills, Aragon soon joined a dog-fighting ring where he was unexpectedly reunited with his sister. He also met Diablo, and that was the second time he felt respect towards another canine (the first being his adoptive mother). When Diablo chose to leave the ring and start his own pack, Aragon didn't hesitate to follow him. He has been protecting Diablo's pack as a fighter ever since.

Name: Chico
Pack (Diablo's or Strays): Stray
Rank:  Stray --> Scout
Breed: Chihuahua
Gender: Male
Age: 2 years
Description: Tan, short coat with a white blaze from belly to chest. Black muzzle and nose. Dark brown eyes.
Personality: Chico can be extremely brazen, but he always has the best interest of his friends and packmates in mind. Hot headed by nature, this is one reactive pup; though with so much energy in such a small body, it makes sense that Chico might be reeling for the next burst of excitement or petty squabble to break out.
Kin: None named, 3 estranged brothers.
Crush: None
Mate: None/Not opposed
Pups: None
Song (optional): You're Gonna Go Far, Kid - The Offspring
History: Chico was dumped off at the shelter with his 3 siblings and mother when he was only 8 weeks old. The runt of a chihuahua litter, learning what it meant to be homeless. What a life. One by one, those brothers were taken from him, adopted out to assuredly loving homes with adoring humans. Finally, it was just him and his mother, a world growing smaller every day that Chico grew bigger, pressing each other deeper into the corners of their small cage. His disdain grew every passing moment; watching through metal bars as others were led to freedom, to the outside he had heard so many rumors of but never saw himself.
One day, an attendant came up to his cage for the last time. Before either of them could react, the attendant opened the latch, and she was gone, her yelping fading as she was carried behind a door. Days passed as he waited for his mother's return, and Chico could no longer contain the anger welling inside him. He had enough. Shaking in fury, he stepped back until his hock touched the back wall before charging and slamming his tiny body into the thick steel gate -- but somehow, it worked. There was just enough force behind him, or maybe the latch wasn't properly secured, it didn't matter. He was out. It wasn't hard to make his way out onto the busy streets, the humans who were in charge of him were careless. He's been wandering ever since.

Pups: maybe
Song (optional):
History: Pandora was bred by a reputable breeder and sold to an older man. The man went hunting on a regular basis and trained her as one of his hunting dogs. When she was two years old the man fell ill and passed away. His family didn't want to keep the dogs, so they sold them. Her new owner didn't treat her well. Eventually she escaped on the streets. She didn't really know how to survive there, so she joined Diablo's pack when she was asked to. She isn't really happy there, but given how the dogs who refuse to join are treated she sees no point in leaving and she wouldn't know where else to go either.

Name: Ruger
Pack (Diablo's or Strays): Strays
Rank: Strays --> Alpha
Breed: Rottweiler
Gender: Male
Age: 5 Years
Description: Black and tan, brown eyes, docked tail.
Personality: Ruger is fiercely protective of those he considers his family, often taking the brunt of most altercations in favor of protecting a loved on. Unendingly loyal to his Alpha and to his other packmates, some might even say Ruger is naive or a pushover; Ruger would say he's just trying to do what's best for everyone (himself excluded.) While exceptionally charming and always chivalrous, Ruger is an internal mess of emotions, longing for a sense of safety and love that he hasn't felt since puphood.
Kin: N/A
Crush: N/A
Mate: Wanted
Pups: Wanted
Song (optional): Eat Your Young - Hozier
History: TW for animal attacks, animal abuse, DV, death/murder
Ruger was originally born to a lovely mother in a show breeding household. His parents had both won many shows over their lifetime, and as he grew, he eagerly awaited his chance in the show ring. He was hand selected by his humans to be the next-in-line of their dynasty, the one to replace his father.
All was well, Ruger had been training hard to get into the show ring, and he was completely adored. Not a moment went by that he didn't feel loved, by his birth mother, his humans, even his father who was now gleefully looking forward to his retirement.
It was the day of his first anticipated exhibition, he had been freshly bathed and dried, his doting human spent hours brushing and baby talking to him, and Ruger knew that today was going to be his day. He held his head proudly as he began a gentle lope into the ring, keeping his attention focused only on his human, as he had been taught so well from the time he first opened his eyes. In retrospect, that was the mistake that shattered life as he knew it. Through the cheering of the crowd, the piercing squealing of children, and all the way up until he was ripped from his human's grasp, Ruger kept his eyes on her. The cheering hadn't been cheering at all, it was screaming pandemonium. Another dog had escaped and went berserk, and chose Ruger and his human as his target.
To this day, Ruger isnt sure what happened after he stopped watching her and before he woke up alone in the ICU of the only emergency veterinarian in the tristate area, hooked up too many tubes to count. He spent every day telling his fellow patients that they would be back to get him soon, his human would never abandon him. And, Ruger was completely right on that. They wouldn't, had they had the option to.
Ruger stayed in the ICU until he made the majority of a recovery, tended to daily by a young, recent veterinary graduate. When he was finally well enough to leave the clinic, that vet was the one to take him home.
Things at this house were nothing like his old home, the male human who lived here was as vicious as the dog who took him away from everything he knew to begin with. Ruger found himself in between the two humans every day, wincing as he stole the blows from the woman who nursed him back to health. He took those moments with grace, but he could only control himself for so long. He had suffered more than he knew imaginable, but she... she was always with him. She tended their wounds together, taking cover behind locked doors.
Those locked doors didn't stay locked forever, though. His human was tired, and what she had planned was completely unlike anything Ruger could have ever saw coming...
The usually dark street in front of his second home was completely ablaze with lights and sirens. At least five different cop cars had reported to the scene to start, with more rolling in every few minutes. He sat patiently on the porch, glued to the woman's side as large men approached. After all he had been through, he couldn't help that his hackles raised. It was instinct, welling up for the next fight. "Ruger," She started, "I need you to be a good boy and stay." Slowly, the veterinarian stood from the stoop, her hands raised. Her apologies were mumbled through tears, and Ruger immediately jerked up to follow her before settling again. He wouldn't dare disobey her.
He never saw her again either. The last time he saw the man was when they strolled him out of the house on a gurney. He stayed where she had told him for weeks, til the skin around him clutched to the bones beneath it. He drank the rain as it poured down on him, but it was either lay down and die or live for everyone who gave their life to him, and he wasn't going to let them down.

Thinking that allowing her out at night would solve their solutions to her destructive behavior they quickly realized how wrong they were. She was tearing up their backyard. Nearly 6 months after her first birthday Clover got into the chicken coop before running off in the night. Deciding to cut their losses with the destructive pup they moved on without her.
