Pack affiliation: Dead Dogs
Personality:
+ optimistic | wiry | confident | loyal +
Notorious for his extremely high confidence to anyone that is familiar with him, is severely fueled by it; as well as his mass optimism. Doesn't look before he leaps, or at least doesn't look like he does. Incredibly willed. This proves to be his downfall, if losing, he tends to taunt or laugh even when having his face pummeled in, pushing his limits, absolutely certain he can turn it around no matter the circumstance. Which also, is one of his greater strengths.
If there's a task that needs to be taken care of, Sol is always ready to leap into action. Even before becoming infected, he was always fearless in the face of danger, explaining why he chose such a dangerous position when first getting involved with Eden's military. He's always been big on backing up his comrades; he may be a pest and quick to tease others for being what he perceives to be "underlings", but he cares deeply for others and will go out of his way to assist when necessary.
Since his time in Eden, he has always been a very personable fellow, preferring to mix with everyone over being an elitist jerk like some of the other soldiers he was friends with. He's always been approachable and while his brashness with his outward affection (be prepared for a noogie if you get close enough for him to get you in a head lock). All around, he's a really friendly guy without a judgmental bone in his body. The only real way to etch under his skin would be to badmouth any of his packmates, even the ones he may not be all that close to.
- impulsive | rash | cocky | headstrong | oblivious -
Unfortunately, being as brave as he is also means he doesn't think things through very often. When something dangerous rears its head, he will always be at the front line, poised for attack. He doesn't listen to the words of wisdom from others and will always leap before he looks. He is always the first to admit this bad habit of his, but it's almost as a joke considering he treats it so flippantly, it's like admitting he's got a problem and doing absolutely nothing about it. In his own words, "it's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission."
The "big dumb jock" type, before succumbing to the life of a wastelander; as an officer in Eden, Solitaire was appeared happy in his ignorance and it wasn't until the death of Verity and the reaction that he got after being bitten that he started to really wise up. Although he has remained skeptical, he's still mostly all brawn and little brain.
It’s also probably best not to invoke his temper, as he is known to completely lose his mind. Part of becoming infected has changed his temperament, making him black out when becoming too angry and usually resulting in the a pretty bad scrape from whomever it was that provoked him. On the surface, however, Sol is very chill and not all that much bothers him. It takes a lot of grinding him down to get him that enraged.
He also not the most perceptive guy out there; when he cares for someone, he's very open about it, but on the same token, he will have a hard time seeing anyone elses feelings. If he perceives the psudo-relationship to be one-sided, he will accept it without complaint, but won't know what to do if confronted with real emotions. The only reason Verity was able to reach him was because she was so direct with him. Regardless, they were not together for very long, so it was difficult to know if there really was something there for both of them or if Verity was stringing Sol along.
History:
Prior to becoming infected, Sol was living his life as an Edener; his life on the "inside" was mostly spent training to become a gate guard. He had a family and even experienced his first brush with puppy love toward a female ward. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to see how far their relationship would blossom. The gate guardians received a staticy radio signal from one of the convoys on an expedition to locate and bring back supplies and, by coincidence, Solitaire happened to catch the name of the officers under attack. At the realization that his love had been part of that very day trip, he abandoned his post against the orders being bellowed at him when he took off. One of his fellow trainees chased after him, attempting to catch up with him and stop him. There were other officers already dispatched to the location, he tried to reason with Solitaire, there's nothing you can do anyway. Stop before you're considered a traitor for abandoning your post! But for Solitaire, it was too late in more ways than one. Hearing the yelping coming from the now seized and surrounded platoon, he had made it to their location just in time to witness her demise. When her attacker began to eat her right in front of him, he flew into a rage shrugging off his training partner whom had been trying to encourage him to run, and managing to wrench the smaller framed female from the infected rogue's jaws. Unsurprisingly, this resulted in taking a vicious bite to the flank. The infection set in fast and it wasn’t long after being bitten that he was exiled from Eden, never to return to his family or his job.
Feeling a deep sense of betrayal at being thrown out from the village he had sworn to give his life to protect, Solitaire stumbled confused and in pain through the wastelands, finding himself growing hungrier and weaker. It was only after obtaining his first meal that he found himself growing strangely stronger. Despite the pain, so long as he kept eating, he found himself becoming faster, his stamina was longer, he was becoming a beast.
Quite by accident, he stumbled into the territory of the Jager pack and was caught poaching their food. Rather than risk being killed by the pack leader and her cronies, he instead smooth talked his way into the lower levels, his size, strength, and overall discipline making him a prime candidate for the Creeper position. His colours provide excellent coverage when hunkered down in the dirt, and his willingness to accept a position of such great risk while leaving more seasoned members of the pack out of harm's way proved a fairly decent trade for the pack. While he openly swears his allegiance to Mynx, he is still a very shady character and it's difficult to tell if he's actually loyal to anyone but himself.
Thankfully, the alliance he held to the Jager pack was not for very long and almost as soon as his mate, Ophelia, and best friend Drix were all together again, the three of them struck out on their own to create The Dead Dogs.
"They don't care about anything but putting us down. We're useless to them. In their eyes all just dead dogs."
Relationships
Key: - Family
- Dead
- Neutral
- Acquaintance
- Friend
Good Friend
- Best Friend
- Trust
- Respect/Loyal too
- Crush
- Mate
- Lust
- Dislike
- Loathe
He refers to his life prior to becoming infected and exiled as "pre-existence" or his "past life". He had friends and a life on the "inside" before being thrown out, but he prefers to avoid giving it too much thought. He's terribly conflicted after becoming infected; on one hand, he misses his family and his old life, but now that he has become what he had spent his entire life fearing, he has never felt freer. The worst possible thing has happened, and yet he has continued to live on...it became a mixture of exhilaration and sorrow. Still, he can't help feeling very lonely for the lack of companionship outside of the walls, and finds himself drifting back towards the city in hopes of at least a little conversation.
Father Broadway: a very skilled operator, his smaller size and shorter stature as a corgi/australian shepherd mix making him ideal for the jobs he was doing. Unfortunately, he was killed during a tour of duty a few months prior to Solitaire's exile.
Mother Enobaria: for a female, she is extraordinary in size. Currently works as a heavy scrapper. Her litters were the only things she lived for at one time; Solitaire is the sole survivor of her first litter and while she loves him dearly, after Broadway was killed, she started to pull away from all of her children to the point where she has, for the most part, shut down around them.
Siblings
All of Solitaire's litter mates (two sisters and a brother) were killed by fever or other infected canines on the outside. The only siblings he has left are three pups, all conceived shortly before his father was killed. Black Jack (or just Jack) ♂
eldest in the litter Spoons ♀
middle pup Spades ♀
the runt
former mate Verity
Solitaire's former love and a scowner. Was killed on her way back from a recon mission by a roving eater. Ophelia an old friend from his previous life on the inside; the two of them weren't exactly the best of friends, but Sol was still pretty fond of her. He views her as weird, but with the knowledge that he is even more so, but in a different way, he takes solace in her companionship. With her job as a clipper, he is able to drop by close to the walls and catch her for conversations from time to time. Now that she has been bitten and has joined the land of the infected, the two are completely inseparable.
Drix an old friend of his from back in Eden. As a spaniel, on the surface she's adorable to look at and is often taken as a pushover just based on looks alone. Drix is none of these things. She's cold, calculating, and ferocious, all thing that make the normally manly-man Sol cower a little from her. Despite any misgivings, the two are obviously extremely close friends and he has no problem hailing her as chief now that they have started their own pack.
Calcipher he doesn't know much about Cal so aside from giving him a nickname and trying to convince him not to be such an apathetic pain, they don't have much to do with each other. But Sol is actually a very friendly guy, so he takes Cal at face value and doesn't bother questioning him.
voice speculation
Rp Example:
"You never talk about that." the dry voice of his spaniel companion cut through the silence that had lingered over the sleepy shepherd and his ears flicked in her direction.
"...wh...what?" he asked groggily, stretching his paws out and wiggling the ends of his toes to try and dust the sleepiness from their tips. Drix snorted, giving the shepherd a little glare.
"I'm sorry, am I boring you?"
"No! Just...long day, man." Solitaire grumbled back, yawning widely.
"I suppose I should be grateful that you don't have night watch this evening."
"Mm? No. More like...be afraid that I'm not." he yawned loudly for a second time, shaking his head. "Been up all night...watching."
"Hn. Well. I can't sleep."
"Good for you."
"You keep avoiding my question." she added in a snap and Solitare rolled his eyes.
"Not avoiding, ignoring! I'm sleepy. Can't you tell I'm sleepy??"
She rolled her eyes, moving closer to him and shoving the shepherd against the ground roughly, her paws pinning him down on either side of his head. He blinked, having not been at all prepared for an attack, especially a Drix attack. He didn't yelp, which was probably the most manly he could be when put in such a situation; being best friends or not, there wasn't a dog alive that wasn't even a little intimidated by Drix, especially with her wild temper. Still, he stared up at her with wide eyes, ears flexing down a bit as a sign of submission, but the rest of his body language seemed to be asking what the fuck she was doing. She was the brains and he was the brawn. That was simply how their relationship worked; it was always that way. But sometimes he needed to remind himself she was more than capable of becoming the brawn herself. He made a move as though to push her off when she very suddenly made a snapping motion for his neck and he growled lowly, about to snap back when he realized she had started playfully chewing on his neck like a puppy dragging along a ragdoll or something. He blinked, completely taken off guard by her reaction.
"...um?"
"Woke you up, didn't it?" she asked, mouth full of his neck fluff. He still looked incredibly uncomfortable, finally finding his nerve long enough to push her off.
"...<< that...is more than enough of that." he grumbled, dragging himself to his feet once she allowed him to push her off.
"I have asked you this question plenty of times, and while your mate is out, I think it's about time I got my answer."
"What the HELL are you going on about?"
"How did you escape the Jager pack?"
"Escape? I didn't escape. I went out on a mission as a creeper and just << never came back? It's hard to explain, but with so many other members of her packs and with...er...not much sanity left in her, Mynx has a hard enough time knowing where SHE even is let alone someone as unimportant as myself. She probably thought I was killed off or something." he shrugged, laying back down on the floor with a soft fwump. "For all I know, she might have thought I was another hallucination or something."
"Mm. Do you think she'll come looking for you?"
"Not if she doesn't believe I ever existed? Honestly, I don't think much about it." he raised an eyebrow comically at her, tip of his tongue sticking out of his mouth. "Why? Hoping to run into her or something? Extra limbs must be your thing, eh?"
The spaniel rolled her eyes again, reaching a paw up and shoving Solitaire's face away from hers and into the ground. He sputtered a little at how fast she was, snout filling with dirt until he sneezed.
:: trivia ::
♠ tends to view everything as a game. Obstacles, problems, anything that arises is generally treated like something he can pull the wool over and weasel his way out of.
♦ Though generally cocky, he’s very difficult to rile up.
♣ Has the propensity to get very violent very quickly.
♥ Overall, he’s the type of guy you can’t know if he is on your side or not.
♠ Keeps his infection wound covered constantly and rarely removes the bandages except to clean or fix them.
♦ Has an unusual obsession with dreams.
♣ His witty charm easily attracts women, and while he might like to play around, he is scarcely the type to become too involved. This is because of his past relationship and how little he wants to think about it.
♥ likes to throw his weight around and tends to tease or pick on those he considers are not on the same level as he is (IE: everyone).
♠ since becoming infected, he heals much faster than he used to and can take a beating better than ever. However, when he has gone too long without eating (in most cases, more than a few hours), his muscles will seize up and cause him to slow down to the point of collapse if he waits too long. Mentally, if he goes more than a day without eating, he turns quite feral, unable to see or think or even process things without devouring something. It’s because of this he does his best to always keep a small snack on him at all times. Better a bite than nothing at all.
♦ often speaks in innuendos around the ladies, however he is strictly heterosexual, if not somewhat homophobic from his days in Eden's military.
♠ the irony of his position as a creeper is that the dog that had killed his former female was doing the exact same thing as his current occupation. Whether Sol appreciates the irony remains to be seen.
♣ Being a shepherd, he built for power, not speed and while he's perhaps a little faster than the average dog his size thanks to the infection setting in and taking the majority of the fat in his body to sustain the illness, he's still not as fast as, perhaps, a sight hound like Calcipher.

👍: 0 ⏩: 3
Falconicide In reply to GriffinWind [2015-01-31 03:00:13 +0000 UTC]
I'm going to sum this up in a simple manner, because I know everyone and their grandmother is politically correct: I basically want for people to put their actual physical sex down as their gender. Yes I do know someone is going to cry and scream about this because they are overly politically correct. But if you look at the dictionary its negating the same thing Gender = Sex.
Yes, your dog can consider themselves a male when they're a female ect. But this is the APOCALYPSE. Hundreds of years of advancement have been lost- and your dog is either going to get all kinds of weird looks and stigma from other dogs, or doesn't have the time to think about it because they're too busy trying not to die.
What I'm not allowing is VERY VERY specific pronouns and things like demi girl, demi sexual, otherkin. This is mostly because A. this is an apocalypse group they do NOT have time to worry about if they connect on a personal level as being a chipmunk in their past life- they just don't, and B. because most of these pronouns can be grouped under a single blanket pronoun, ie transexual, homosexual, heterosexual, asexual, so its better off to follow the logic of "keep it simple stupid" as it'll just confuse those not well versed in such a thing and in general is considered extremely offensive by actual transexuals (the otherkin thing is a good example, as most feel it just makes them as transexuals look like a joke.)

GriffinWind In reply to Falconicide [2015-01-31 18:16:51 +0000 UTC]
Do you really think people will stop being sentient and having personal struggles just because it's the apocalypse? They don't. See like Anny Frank, a child, stuck inside a tiny hole so nazis won't find her, wrote a fucking book on her personal discoveries regarding sexuality and much more. Being in danger don't suddenly make your other problems dissappear.
You're not allowing non binary characters, not just specific pronouns. And first you say people are too politically correct, and then pretend to care for what's offensive to trans people? Guess what, feeling like you can't join a group cuz they desconsider your existence is offensive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Falconicide In reply to GriffinWind [2015-01-31 18:37:03 +0000 UTC]
Okay, I'll make it simpler. These are DOGS. Not people. I actually do care what's offensive to trans people as I have FAMILY WHO IS TRANS. Point being, if you feel like offending people, and don't agree with the group themes, and get your feelings hurt thats on you. The rule is in place for a reason- and not just because I say so.
As a person who isn't a politically correct tumblrina that likes to make the transexual / transgender argument look pretentious. I'm sorry I hurt your "sensitive" feelings. I never SAID that people would stop being sentient because of the apocalypse. I SAID IT WOULD PUT IT ON THE BACK BURNER. It's not going to be something on the front of someone's mind when they're starving to death, having their friends and family dying and are generally living in a cave.
I'm pleased you don't want to join the group, because you obviously don't have the maturity to handle the group, its themes or its situations if you are offended by not being able to call a fictional character a "bunself" or they prefer to be called "it/xir/they."

GriffinWind In reply to Falconicide [2015-01-31 18:54:55 +0000 UTC]
So what they're dogs? They're not gonna act only like dogs, or else why even have a rp chat or missions etc. If we're taking human traits, why are some ok and others aren't?
You care for what's offensive, but if I'm offended that's on me? And I'm the one who "feels" like offending people?
Who said anything about bunself? There isn't even pronouns on the charsheet. I'm talking about non binary (not being male or female).
Yet I'm immature for commenting on my friend's drawing about my opinion. I can't handle a dog rping group.

VintageFinch In reply to GriffinWind [2015-01-31 19:25:00 +0000 UTC]
Yes hello, my name is Jess, I'm 19 and pansexual, and demiromantic. I am sexually attracted to every gender, even nonbinary, but as a demiromantic I need to feel close and have a good relationship with a certain person before I feel like I can date them. I know this whole argument between you two has gotten out of hand, I'm real sorry to see that, we don't really enjoy arguing in this group between anyone so Falcon here is simply trying to solve the problem in a simple and quick manner so the conversation can be dissolved.
My character, Crescent, was going to be the exact same sexuality and romantic attraction preference as I am, but upon seeing the rules about sexuality, I changed his preference to Heterosexual with an added "I think" on the end, as it might change if I decide he doesnt seem heterosexual at all. But if it changes, it will be 'homosexual', not pan or bi or demi or other or none. Because I understand that the plot of this RP group has our characters in a dangerous, apocalyptic world and that they may not have time to really sit down and think, "Now, am I more attracted to MEN or to WOMEN?". I personally think that everyone could care less what they are attracted to because, hey, they're trying to just survive day-by-day. I'm not saying other sexualities arent important, I think quite the opposite really, but I understand where thre founder is coming from. This is a RP group, and we RP the dogs in this certain plot. None of the plots are about a dog's sexuality, they are all about surviving. So making your character's sexuality more complicated then it needs to be is actually generally irrelevant, as it will never, ever be discussed in a RP. Which is why, a stated below in another comment, you were told "You can have this preference, but please don't put it on the profile," because it is not a needed fact to RP with other people.
There is also the sad fact that many people may be offended, like right now, by someone putting anything but "normal" sexualities down. And that 'normal' hurts, I know, but some people believe that only Homo and hetero exist, and will become angry if they see anything but. We in the group are only trying to avoid that anger, by keeping things as simple as possible. Furthermore, dogs are actually--by all natural and scientific proof--heterosexual. When my male dog gets-it-on with another male dog and comes to me and says they are gay, I will apologize to everyone for my mistake. But until that day, I see dogs as only heterosexual, as many animals are, and I humor those who prefer to have their dog character be another sexuality because it is an OC, a fictional character, and I believe ANYTHING can happen in the fictional world, but not everything can happen in this specific PLOT due to the cercomstances. Does that make sense? I'm not very good at explaining things...
My main point here is: I respect your view on sexualities, and that you believe the founders are being offensive and cruel. That is your choice to believe, I wont stop you, I'm not really sure I can. But in return, could you please respect our choices here as a group? We want things simple to avoid fights and arguments, we want to allow everyone but in this plot and setting and overall story, that simply cannot be done. But we TRY to make things okay, we TRY to be flexible while still keeping everyone in the group happy. All I ask for is respect back. All I ask is that you try and SEE that we, with all of our streength, ARE trying.
Thanks for listening.

I see your point, but I never said anything about sexuallity, I was talking gender, the possibility to make your character not a male nor a female, that's it. I'm not suggesting it, just thought I could comment to a friend.

Im Jo and a transgender, pansexual human. My character is a dog that was born male. It's almost as if gender identities and sexuality don't have to line up with your character and what you're writing. It's like ,woh, of course JK Rowling is secretly an 11 year old wizard schoolboy.
The rules are in place to keep things simple and easy to follow for everyone. I agree with you Author, thanks for the sweet comment.

Simpler: I never said we didn't allow transexual characters, we're JUST ASKING YOU TO PUT YOUR DOGS PHYSICAL SEX down as the gender. It's not that hard. If you're offended by wording and the fact that I won't let you put down "my dog is demisexual with asexual tendencies" then you can easily deal with that like a normal person.
The rules are in place for a reason, its to keep it simple for everyone and not offend people of the ACTUAL transgender community. If you can't deal with that, and it offends you then you're free to go create your own group. It's a roleplay group, these are fictional characters. I'm not Hitler just because you got your feelings hurt and don't agree with me.

Demisexual and asexual are sexualities, I'm talking abou gender.
And what do you mean of the ACTUAL transgender community? I'm trans, I guess that's the point here.
I'm not going to your group complain. I made a comment to a friend.

Well in case you didn't notice its part of a group, meaning people are going to fucking READ the comments if they're part of the group and comment c:
If you wanted it to be a private conversation you should have noted them.
