The activity check has come to a close and unfortunately we have lost a great deal of characters in the process. This means that more high positions are available for the taking. I am very eager to hopefully get this place thriving again, so welcome to all the new and returning members of Instinct! I really strongly encourage posting and activity - it is the best remedy to a struggling site, thank you guys all so much!
- LOST.
The year is 2025, and a nuclear power plant in the United States just exploded.
The radiation has spread from Nevada across the United States into Canada and South America, devastating the human populations. Those who stay ahead of the fallout can escape, but they have to leave the continents forever. With little choice in a matter of life and death, what little remains of the Western peoples has decided to flee across the seas to the Old World. The humans could take nothing with them from their old lives, forsaking their homes, pets, and history.
With the humans gone, canines must learn how to survive on their own. The housedogs must find a way to get out of their homes if they want to live. Strays are instinctively coming together and forming packs; there’s power in numbers after all. Wolves, foxes, and coyotes, no longer hunted by man, are investigating the empty streets and houses, looking for food. Everyone is hungry, so beware!
Our story begins with its focus on the former state of Louisiana. The canines within its borders have decided to rename the state to fit the new era: Dark Hollow. Survival cannot always be guaranteed as the forces of nature can’t always be avoided. It’s hard to fight off your enemies without a pack, and sickness won’t always be overcome.
Housedog, will you make it on the streets? Wolves, who will you hunt? Can you survive without an owner, or were you born without one? Will you come to the newly named Dark Hollow?
Leader: open. Deputy: open. Medicine Cat: open. Medicine Cat Apprentice: brackenpaw.
TOTAL: twenty.
