Welcome to Canine Controversy! We're a street dog roleplay set in the streets of the fictional city of Cairoco, where the ongoing conflict between the Mafia and the Rebellion shape the lives of many. Here on the site you can find lots of active members to roleplay with, along with friendly staff who are always open to suggestions or questions you might have. We hope to see you around soon!
A note to guests!
Our site's boards are hidden from unregistered members because we've had a lot of trouble with plagiarism and stealing pictures in the past, so this is to protect members from having things taken by those with unknown IP addresses. Don't worry, we are very active, and I'm sure some people in the CBox will help you out if you'd like to find out more without registering yet!
C.C Store!
The staff thought it would be a good idea for experience points to become more interesting for everyone, so a store of sorts has been created so you can buy things for yourself. It's still under construction, so not much will be happening yet, but you can click here to see it (it's a sub-board of the Contact the Staff area), and soon we'll be open for business. <3 Vixxy
Board stuff
A while it ago it was pretty much deciding that the Market, Fatcat Alley and China Town would all be merged into some kind of super-board where people could roleplay in a metropolitan area. This has finally been made, and all the threads are currently being moved over. :) Hopefully by the end of today all the threads will be moved. So if your thread seems to be missing, that's where it'll be. <3 Vixxy
Weather
A mild summer has developed into a cold, windy fall. Snow sometimes falls, but it never stays cold enough for it to stay on the ground very long. The nighttime temperatures are bitterly low but things warm up during the long, sunny days. Aside from the constant breeze that swirls around the fallen autumn leaves, there is little weather to be had.

MEMBER OF THE MOMENT

Sabre has been with us forever, and has been very active around the site from the moment she joined until now. Whenever something needs doing, she's always the first one to see to it that it's done. Currently she owns the Regalia, who sit poised to become the new leading power in Cairoco.
CHARACTER OF THE MOMENT
Altaïr
Altaïr posed as the Mafia Don for a year, using his place of power to destroy the evil pack once and for all. While accomplishing what many others had tried (and failed) to do in the past, it came at the cost of his own life.

The Jar Ever heard the phrase "leave it in the jar by the door"? It means leave your problems 'outside' if you’re going to 'come in'. So essentially, this is a rant board. A place for people to vent, out of public view, so they don't take their problems IC. So, if you're going to go IC, please leave it all in the jar by the door. Cheers.

Packs
Abandoned Warehouse An old abandoned warehouse by the docks once used to hold cargo. Boxes and crates are still found piled up in there. The dogs have pulled old bolts of cloth and pillows from some of the crates, and used them to make massive bed area.
Office Building An old office building on the 'wrong side of town'. It was abandoned a long time ago when the business when under. Most of the windows are broken, and the doors boarded up - Except for the back door.
The Cemetery Behind the cemetery is a wooded area with a muddy creek and overgrown ferns. The Cemetery is rarely visited, because a new one was built across town.
Junkyard New strays tend to wander around here because there are lots of places to hide, and no one is around. Little do they know it’s dangerous - This is where all the alpha dogs looking for pack members come... Lots of alpha dogs in one place is bad news.

Hatley Park An old, overgrown park. People rarely come here. The basketball court is old and rusted, and the grass is tall and untidy. During fall, a carnival visits the park and sets up stalls here for the season. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua

Metropolitan Area The Metropolitan Area is an enormous paved place, surrounded by trees and filled with restaurants and stores. There is a huge market place where the city goes shopping, and further back China Town can be found. The area also has alleys here and there, which includes Fatcat alley.

The Clock Tower Aged with more years than one could remember, the clock tower is anything but safe. The clock no longer works, and the building seems as though it will fall apart at any minute. Protesters call it a landmark and refuse to have it knocked down. For now it stays, idle and neglected - Literally, left to the dogs. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua

The Subway Concrete stairs lead down underground to the subway. Occasionally the rumble and roar of a train going by can be heard. Graffiti, posters, and flyers plaster the walls - And at around 5:00, the platforms are full of people. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua

Rideau Canal A clean-water canal running through the city. Along the river banks are sidewalks, benches, and train tracks. Small boats occasionally use this passageway, but it’s mostly out of use. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua

Underground Kennels On the street, it looks like a normal apartment building, but those who used to live there were actually part of a dog fighting league. Underneath the building are vast kennels, pits, and fighting rings. The dog fighting league is very much alive again, so the threat of being captured on the streets is becoming a real threat to the canines of Cairoco once more.

The Sewers Once in full use, the sewers have gone into disrepair since the city started a newer septic tank system. The main entrance was boarded up, and the tunnels forgotten. The rats have made the labyrinth their home, eating all of the trash and waste to feed their rapidly growing population. There is a large center room where all of the tunnels connect that has a single manhole, giving off the only light in the tunnels. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua

Outdoor Pool The pool was abandoned a long time ago. Its empty in hot weather, but in spring and autumn it often fills with water, which freezes in the winter. There is an old snack shop to the side, long since emptied. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua

Outskirts of Town
Old Barn An old, dilapidated barn, partially filled with old hay rests in the center of this territory. Not much is in here - A few old posts, shovels, hay forks, and ploughing gear. The Regalia now lives in the barn, and guard it ferociously.
Moss Creek Tall grass and mossy rocks cover the ground alongside the small, bubbling creek. Thick forest leans over the creek, offering shade in heat - But the oak trees wide branches let beams of sun shine through. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua

Mountain Ridge A narrow, rocky trail winds up the steep mountain side - Grass and foliage sprout out form every crevasse, and the breeze is surprisingly warm. The view is breath-taking, but the circumstances are dangerous - Deadly even. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua

Rubble Pile Mostly a pile of rock and rubble where a sinkhole used to be - But construction workers used the pit to dump old rubble into. The dump crushed an underground stream, causing it to spurt onto land. Now it runs slowly beside the rubble pile. Hundreds of disfigured canines that were living below the ground were killed when the rubble was dumped... Some say their vengeful spirits still lurk here...

Bear Lake After being finally cleaned up by the government, Bear Lake once again has been restored to the beautiful area it used to be. The waters are clear and finally drinkable once more, and slowly but surely the land around it is coming back to life. Endless forests surround the lake, so if you’re venturing here, always stay on the path. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua

Sandy Beach The actual name of the beach is Sancelia Beach, but since there is so much pure white sand, it’s simply been shortened to 'Sandy Beach'. The surf is calm, the sun is warm, and the sand is full of exotic and curious seashells. Thankfully, this beach is so secluded and difficult to get to, most humans won’t endure the hike.

Jack's Lumber Yard An old abandoned lumber yard. No one has worked here for years, and the broken machinery is now rusted and decaying. It’s an eerie place and there even seems to be blood staining the walls and floor, although whether or not it is blood is unknown. No humans enter here anymore, and now all that remains is the dilapidated equipment and a few rotting fallen trees. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua

Lush Field A lush, grassy field, lined with evergreen trees. There is a mossy nook by the creek that is often favoured by soon-to-be mothers.
Wastelands A seemingly endless stretch of dunes and desert flats located far outside of Cairoco. There are almost no trees, a few desert shrubs and rocky canyons are scattered across a sea of sand. Very little rain falls, and there is little chance of any dog surviving here for long. The days are scorching hot, the nights freezing cold, and there's little chance for survival in this hostile environment. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua

Afterlife
Niveus A small city and countryside, bathed in the angelic light of a dream-like state. The glittering sky is always warm and sunny, and even as the seasons change here, its always utter comfort and pleasure. Famine, disease, depression, and disaster are non-existent, and all your greatest desires are within reach. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua

Morsus A dim, smoky city with abandoned filthy streets, crumbling, burnt buildings, and the wailing cry of lonely suffering. Utter chaos. Those who dwell here are well accustomed to pain and malice, disease and hunger. The black trees and endless winter to them are favourable symbols of their own strife, and not displeasing to the eye at all. Moderators: Devin., Vixen, caltha !, †Naia†, Mutt, Danes, Trua
