Intro
You lived your life. But now, everything changed. The Big Growl struck, the longpaws are gone, everything you knew has disappeared. Friends turned into enemies, food is scarce, times have changed and you need to change too in order to survive. Will you be part of a pack or be a lone dog? Will you even survive?
Types of Dogs You Could Be
Pack Dogs: Group of dogs that have one leader and all other dogs rely on each other. They learn to hunt together and are safe together. Packs members min. is 5. Max. is preferably 10. If the pack gets to big, it can split and form an alliance.
Leashed Dogs: Leashed gods are the longpaw's pets. They miss their longpaws terriably after the Big Growl. They cannot fend for themselves nor hunt. They must scavange or seek help from other dogs. Leashed Dogs stay near their longpaw's den unless it is already ruined or unsafe. They will carry an item that reminds them or their past life. Leashed Dogs can also form a "pack" of dogs, although it would not look like an actually pack. Although they will depend on each other and help, they will most likely think like a longpaw rather than a dog and be afraid at any sign of danger. Some Leashed Dogs can be aggressive depending if their owner treated them harshly.
Lone Dogs: Lone Dogs are dogs who lived alone and could survive all on their own without help. You like adventures and know signs that mean danger or safety. Most likely you could hunt and usually avoid the company of dogs. Although you could have hunting partners or eventually join a pack.
Fierce Dogs: These dogs are built to be fighters. They don't like complainers or whiners and could survive on their own by scaring other dogs and taking their food/shelter. The like to be in packs so if there are enough of you, you could create a pack although this is one pack you never want to mess with.
Moves
Black kick: Explosive surprise move to catch opponent from behind. Judge opponent’s distance from you carefully; then lash out with your back legs, taking weight in your front paws.
Belly rake: A fight-stopper. Slice with unsheathed claws across soft flesh of opponent’s belly. If you’re pinned down, the belly rake quickly puts you back in control.
Front paw blow: Frontal attack. Bring your front paw down hard on your opponent’s head.
Front paw strike: Frontal attack, slice downward with your front paw at the body of face of your opponent.
Killing bite: A death blow to the back of the neck. Quick and silent and sometimes considered dishonorable. Used as the last resort.
Leap-and-hold: Ideal for a small dog facing a large opponent. Spring onto opponent’s back and grip with claws. Now you are beyond the range of your opponent’s paws and in position to inflict severe body wounds. Watch fcounter move-and-roll countermove, and try to jump free before you get squashed.
Partner fighting: Warriors who have trained and fought together will often instinctively fall into a paired defensive position, each protecting the other’s back while fending off an opponent on either side. Slashing, clawing, and leaping together battle pairs can be a whirlwind of danger for attackers.
Play dead: Effective in a tight situation, such as when you are pinned. Stop struggling and go limp. When your opponent relaxes his grip thinking you are defeated, push yourself up explosively. This will throw off an unwary opponent and put you in an attacking position.
Scruff shake: Secure a strong teeth grip in the scruff of your opponent’s neck; then shake violently until he or she is too rattled to fight back. Most effective against rats, which are small enough to be thrown. A strong throw will kill or stun them.
Teeth grip: Target our opponent’s extremities—the legs, tail, scruff, or ears—and sink in your teeth and hold. This move is similar to leap-and-hold except your claws remain free to fight.
Upright lock: Final, crushing move on already weakened opponent. Rear up on back and bring full weight down on opponent. If opponent does same, wrestle and flip him under you. This move makes you vulnerable to the belly rake, so requires great strength and speed.
(Just copied from warrior cats moves with minor adjustments so if there's any mistakes, bear with me....I don't want to go through all that again)
Herbs (Putting this in just in case anyone wants to be a med. dog in a pack.)
Borage Leaves: To be chewed and eaten. The plant can be distinguished by its small blue or pink star-shaped flowers and hairy leaves. Great for nursing queens as it helps increase their supply of milk. Also brings down fever.
Burdock Root: A tell-stemmed, sharp-smelling thistle with dark leaves. A medicine cat must dig up the roots, wash off the dirt, and chew them into a pulp, which can be applied to rat bites, cures infections.
Catmint (a.k.a. catnip): A delicious-smelling, leafy plant that’s hard to find in the wild; often found growing in Twoleg gardens. The best remedy for greencough.
Chervil: A sweet-smelling plant with large, spreading fernlike leaves and small white flowers. The juice of the leaves can be used for infected wounds, and chewing the roots helps with bellyache.
Cobweb: Spider webs can be found all over the forest; be careful not to bring along the spider when you take the web! Medicine dogs wrap it around an injury to soak up the blood and keep the wound clean, stops bleeding.
Coltsfoot: A flowering plant, a bit like a dandelion, with yellow or white flowers. The leaves can be chewed into pulp, which is eaten to help shortness of breath.
Comfrey: Identifiable by its large leaves and small bell-shaped flowers that can be pink, white, or purple. The fat black roots of this plant can be chewed into a poultice to mend broken bones or soothe wounds.
Dock: A plant similar to sorrel. The leaf can be chewed up and applied to soothe scratches.
Dried Oak Leaf: Collected in the autumn and storied in a dry place, stops infections.
Feverfew: A small bush with flowers like daises. The leaves can be eaten to cool down body temperature, like cats with fevers or chills.
Goldenrod: A tall plant with bright yellow flowers. A poultice of this is terrific for healing wounds.
Honey: A sweet, golden liquid created by bees. It is difficult to collect without getting stung, but great for soothing infections or the throats of dogs who have breathed smoke.
Horsetail: A tall plant with bristly stems that grows in marshy areas. The leaves can be used to treat infected wounds. Usually chewed up and applied as a poultice.
Juniper Berries: A bush with spiky dark green leaves and purple berries. The berries soothe bellyaches and help dogs who are having trouble breathing.
Lavender: A small purple flowering plant. Cures fever.
Marigold: A bright orange or yellow flower that grows low to the ground. The petals or leaves can be chewed into a pulp and applied as a poultice to wounds, stops infections.
Mouse Bile: A bad-smelling liquid that is the only remedy for ticks. Dab a little moss soaked in bile on a tick and it’ll fall right off. Wash paws thoroughly in running water afterwards.
Poppy Seed: Small black seeds shaken from a dried poppy flower, these are fed to dogs to help them sleep, Soothes dogs suffering from shock or distress. Not for nursing mothers.
Stinging Nettle: The spiny green seeds can be administered to a dog that’s swallowed poison, while the leaves can be applied to a wound to bring down swelling.
Tansy: A strong-smelling plant with round yellow flowers. Good for curing coughs, but must be eaten in small doses.
Thyme: This herb can be eaten to calm anxiety and frayed nerves.
Watermint: A leafy green plant found in streams or damp earth. Usually chewed into a pulp and then fed to a dog suffering bellyache.
Wild Garlic: Rolling in a patch of wild garlic can help prevent infections, especially for dangerous wounds like rate bites.
Yarrow: A flowering plant whose leaves can be made into a poultice and applied to wounds or scratches to expel poison.
Deathberries: These berries that can be fatally poisonous to pups and elders. They are NOT a medicine, known to Twolegs as yew berries. BEWARE!
NOT ALL OF THESE HERBS CAN BE FOUND. SOME CAN BE COMMON (cobwebs) BUT SOME MAY BE EVERY HARD TO FIND. DO NOT SAY THAT YOU FOUND LIKE A HUGE PATCH OF HERBS. THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE FOR GOODNESS SAKES!
