An Important-Being redone
The Household
I am also aware of some of the folks personal issues and variants of issues.
Part of the reason The dream is being created so we have a focus point for
folks to hang out in, rp and not have to be in TGT to actually have all rp.
This also allow for folks to have a spot to talk and hang out in ooc fashions.
However, we are about growth for the community and as The Dane is situated
within The Golden Tether and it's community. I expect folks being active and
participating with the events and such as well.
Living arrangements
Dane's Island
Approachable only by airship, which a crew of NPC ferries folks back
and forth. Employed by Dane and takes orders only from Dane or Xtious.
Offering a amount of security that prevents anyone from being where
they aren't supposed to be. Only slaves owned by Dane and Xtious are
allowed to be at the house or to freely travel between the island and
Dane's home due to the security and protective nature. Any slave that
DOES NOT have a token that obtained from them will be restrained or
killed on sight
Mind OOC discussions we can set up different plots and stuff of that
nature due to the story line I am running. This also allows for folks to
go back and forth within reasoning/IC permission (A lets say it happen i)
Suite at TGT
Regularly changing without a set determination. NPC Hansley the butler
and man servant (in the Victorian way) will ensure each salve within the
Dane's household that is rented will know where to attend. As well as if
they're owned, where they will attend the Lords of the House. This is to
ensure additional security.
OOCLY: this is a 'Lets say happens'. So if we're rping or what not, all those
good things. It won't tie people down or make them required to rp with
myself or even anyone else to see that such things occur.Threats
Currently issues from Dane's and Jorah's past.
It's also why anyone not with Dane to be accompanied by a wolf
or Hansley to have such a creature with them. Punishment will
occur ICLy if it's forgotten. Aggravation or possible shady side
steps with interactions ICly is encouraged, and should be reported
immediately to Dane even if it's in a whisper/note on rpr
Positions in the Household
Permanent Slaves;
Zir'rah
Female, Hound,Trainee Guardian Saluki. A lovely tawny woman that
is very much a sadistic bitch. From a tribe lost to many, she's
a rare gift that often leading the dire wolves in hunts and has
the right to the Alpha rights of the hunt.
Expectations ICly
There will be a loose schedule set up for folks to go over
and read. Quite possibly individual scheduled as I have the
time to create them. If you would like to help with this or
offer up your own. Lets start a discussion and have it set up
on the rpr that will let you have stuff that's structured points
for you to use in your IC interactions and help create more
dynamic rps or characters!!!
OOC points
My last point. The Dane Household and it's rp is set up
to be interactive with everyone. I understand wanting
to steal as much time of certain folks as you can or even
the point of trying to figure out how to grab them when
they're on cause we are all adults and have busy life in
the real world. However. I do not want it to become a
point where there is segregation, people feeling like
they're not a part of things, or even the fact that it is
all about one person in the rp.
Yes our rp story lines might occur and cause issue with
this from time to time. Or even times not meet up, but we
are supposed to be a Household that cares and interact
with each and creating outside networking that will help.
What benefits one ICly befits the whole type mentality.
This Household was also created to help promote rp with inTGT.
If you have issues with group rps, and massive texts being tossed
about. You might not want to join Dane's household. While I love
some of our behind the scene plot development, I want folks
interacting with the events hosted. The folks out and about in
various parts of the bar. Hell, go out and fet your ass handed to
you in the Arena. Be a part of the community!!! -

The Handler's Bitches and Dogs
Feeds at the Sire's feet.
Puppy play is when one person takes on the role of a pup or dog and another
takes that of the handler or trainer. The pup acts like their canine counterpart
and the trainer, for the most part, handles the pup like he would a biological pup.
It's not necessarily a sexual play, though it can be. For many it serves as a release
of the animal part of them. It is not is bestiality: real animals are not involved.
Why Do Puppy Play?
Because it's fun! More to the point it gives the pup an opportunity to shed off their
human personality and take on the simple, carefree existence of a pup. Puppies like
and get lots of attention. They also however receive some control from their Handler,
while still expressing their animal instincts and desires.
The Handler also revives benefit from puppy play. Pups are always happy to see you
and play fetch with you. They serve as a companion and friend. The Handler has the
opportunity to establish dominance through training, while still allowing the pup some
freedom, especially when playing.
~~~ What About Humiliation?
For many pups, puppy play is not about humiliation. This does not mean they may not
also enjoy humiliation, or that humiliation play is bad, but it tends not to be a part of
puppy play. In many ways puppy play is much like training a biological pup.
You wouldn't hit, kick, or abuse a new puppy to train him. Instead a firm but gentle
approach is taken to training and discipline. Positive reinforcement is key; 'good boy'
is spoken much more often than 'naughty pup' in puppy play.
What are the roles in puppy play?
There is no authoritative list of the roles in puppy play,
but the most common names and meanings are these:
dogs are more interested in the dog persona
barking, being on all fours, the physical aspects of being a dog.
They may be a more 'independent' pup.
pups are more about the canine head space then the physical
They think like a dog would, and crave attention like a puppy does
alphas are the more aggressive, dominating pups.
They will pose themselves as pack leaders, but will often also look
after the pups in their pack.
Handlers are anyone the takes care of a pup.
The one holding the leash per se
Trainers train the pups to behave, do tricks.
Trainer and Handlers may overlap.
Masters are usually the same as in other BDSM roles
they own the pups, and may or may not take part in the other roles.
biopup/biocanine – These terms refer to the biological animal
(Canis lupus familiaris) to distinguish from the human animal.
~~~ What Is Pup Headspace?
Headspace is hard to describe. It's the mental state you put on when you
are doing puppy play. Dogs live in the moment, they do not think about
the past or present. They act on instinct rather than rationality. Dogs are
pack animals and seek attention from the other members of the pack.
They look to the other dogs for leadership and guidance, and will assert
their own if they do not find it.
Maintaining headspace is about putting aside the human thoughts and desires
and thinking instead about a pup's thoughts and desires.
Tools Of The Trade
Collars
A collar may be the most important part of gear for a pup. Besides
providing a place to put a leash and a tag, wearing a collar helps
immensely in putting a pup into the proper headspace.
Unowned pups should not wear tags.
Kneepads
A more practical consideration than anything, a cheap pair of kneepads
from home depot will help keep your pups knees from being chewed up
and allow for longer play.
Paws/Mitts
Paws help keep a pups hands restrained, preventing them from being used
like a humans and also serving to protect hands during play.
Hoods/Muzzles
A muzzle helps prevent a pup from using his human voice, and serves to make
him look more dog like. Hoods look even more dog like (some are very realistic)
and are usually less restrictive.
Toys
Every pup needs some good chew toys to chase. The best toys are soft, human teeth
are not dog teeth. Hard toys like bones and rawhide shouldn't be used. Rope toys are
OK but should not be tugged on hard.
Bowls
A large dog bowl is best. A human pup's snout isn't as long as a real pup's. Best way to
measure is to stick your face in and see if it fits! -
Services
///The Sire's Hospitality
A man of travel, he has run across various forms of slavery and divulged into all sorts of stylizations. As such he has found a pleasure to customize training to the slave instead of teaching just one solid discipline. A jack of
all trade that enjoys plying his trade, a man ready to learn as he is to teach. He is seeking to expand himself and the stock he uses to enrich his pockets even further.
Hireable?
Services may be purchased with certain discussions implemented. To adapt a slave to a Customer's wishes is a very expensive thing from the Dane and as such the price will match it.
Tasked and asked styled of training. As they are often not for personalized service, often they will be given general and broad ranged of training so they can be further enriched and bring greater profit to his pocket. If it is a specialty trained creature. Well that will just cost you an extra platinum.
Slave TrainingThis is not my own creation, it is created and (C) copyrighted to Chaffen aka Trish Shield and used with their permission. In no way do I claim creation or ownership of this idea or
system.
This is an optional system to use, it is not required to be used. I liked the system (if one couldn't guess by the usage of it) and find that the realism of it helps with character build and as a character creation tool.
What is it, and how does it work?
Basically, finding actual players to train slaves in various things can be difficult, especially in this day and age where most characters only last at most a year before their player gets bored of them and moves on- most characters (especially slave characters who get boring after they're purchased or who never get purchased) only last a couple months. This is designed to give people a reason to keep playing!
It works simply with a dice roll (so that your character can't ace every skill automatically) with a number of tiers and books that your character can learn from, each for different skills.
Trainers, if they can be found, will be opted into these various areas of expertise to volunteer or be paid to train in those specific areas. This will be explained further.
The MethodAll skills fall under a broadly termed Category Skill (Combat, Cooking, Crafting, Entertainment, Linguistics, Servitude, Maintenance, and Collections). Leveling 7 or more skills to Master in
one Category will earn your character a special accolade (like a title that is listed on their papers), such as Brutal Gladiator, Gourmet Master Chef, or otherwise. All of these increase the value (and price!) of the slave in question, should they ever be sold!
All Skills have a range of seven proficiencies: Novice, Amateur, Competent, Adept, Skilled, Expert, and Master. All skills that slaves have prior to purchase will be listed, but only two (that are not languages) are allowed to start out
at Master level (though the others can be higher up or lower depending how much they know on the subject)!
It is recommended to keep track of your skills and proficiencies on your own web page, as well as your progress through a certain proficiency on your website.
A slave achieves these new proficiencies by completing successful tasks 2 times before they move up. This is done by rolling a 1d100, and quite simply, if you roll higher than 50, success! Your character has performed the task
correctly and has gained useful experience. Rolls can only apply to ONE skill at a time, even if they would seem to apply to more than one, so you must choose which it goes to.
Rolls can be done on the spot (with The Master/Mistress watching the slave perform the skill) OR can be done "After the Fact," meaning that your character ICly did it earlier in the day while they were alone (this doesn't have to be RPed out), but you roll when they meet with the Master or Mistress to report progress (or failure) which is when you roll. Either way, all rolls must be done in front of a Master, Mistress, or Trainer.
Wait; trainer?
Yes. A Trainer is a real Player-Character whose character is Expert or Mastered in a certain area of skill. If that is what your character is learning, Chaffen may ask that Trainer to tutor the Slave in that skill. Every training session spent with a trainer will grant you 15 TP (Training points). You may use these Training points to add onto a Proficiency Roll that might have otherwise been a failure, in order to achieve success. You may choose when you spend TP, and you may save up to a maximum of 45 TP to spend later.
Proficiencies
Novice:
Starter rank, every new skill starts here. Brand new to the skill in question, the slave has only slightly dabbled in this skill, and cannot be expected to perform these tasks without at least some error.
Amateur
The slave knows a few items in this area of skill, but by no means can be called upon to do more complex duties in this field.
Competent
An intermediate Rank, the slave has learned how to tackle some of the primary hurdles of this skill, but most of the more complex details of the skill still elude them.
Adept
A practicing work in progress of the more complex parts of the skill, refining finer details and exploring new areas of the skill and trying new techniques, with some success.
Skilled
Fairly exposed to most areas of the skill, the slave can accomplish most tasks with ease, and can even, more impressively accomplish tasks that require more talent to pull off. The slave can now reliably be asked to do these skills for monetary gain.
Expert
Well versed, the slave can accomplish almost everything in this area of expertise, and can frequently be called upon to perform these duties for the Master or Mistress without incident. There may yet be a few things that they do not know, however.
Master
The slave knows every aspect of this skill through and through, has encountered problems and knows the solutions to them. The slave can be asked to do this as a primary use or profession in order to make money for the house, and can even be called upon to train other slaves in this area of skill. As far as skill goes, this is the cream of the crop, best of the best, and more money could not achieve you better.

Linguistics:
All forms of languages or communication, including hieroglyphs and braille, and all written forms of languages.
