http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Dogs_Go_t...ven:_The_Series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Dogs_Go_to_Heaven:_The_Series)
I wanted to start an an RP based off the ADGTH series. Specifically, this would be set during the tv series, with the characters' day to day lives in San Fransisco.
Characters
Charlie-Mirumoto_Kenjiro
Itchy-Brekclub85
Sasha-Nick22
Annabelle-
Belladonna-
Carface-
Killer-
David-
As usual, Ocs are encouraged.
OCs:
Hawk, Linda, Tank, Blight-Mirumoto_Kenjiro
-
Unfortunately, all of my ADGTH OC chars are based in the 1930s setting of the first movie. I may come up with something new for this one in time.
-
Personally, I'm not too fond of the TV series. No offense.
-
I understand. I could make two rps, one based off the original movie and the other like the one I mentioned in my OP.
-
I have no prob with this idea. I just need to make a whole new char. I'll wait for the IC's after everyone else picked.
-
Who was the Cat-demon in the sequel? Red I think his name was.. And I think we should set it after the 2nd film. The tv series was ok, not great..
-
I;'ll play Sasha, so cross her off the list
-
I've only seen the first movie, how is the tv series different? Though I don't recall a lot, must be well over a decade since I saw the movie.
-
Nick, you're added!
-
the 2nd film is set in san francisco, and they did a different kid, because judith barsi was murdered. So they couldn't do the little girl again. As for when the 2nd film is set it appears to be modern day San Francisco.
-
Yeah, the major time difference between the two movies I did find odd.
-
well Charlie was in heaven so a lot of time passed on earth, apparently..
-
True, Charlie was in heaven. However, there is still a big problem with the time difference: Itchy. Itchy doesn't die and go to heaven until the 2nd movie, which takes place in the 90s I believe. So either Itchy is the oldest dog ever (over 60 years) or there's a big plot hole.
-
I'll go with plot hole thank you every much.. and Itchy didn't appear to be that old when he died.. he choked to death on a chicken bone..
-
Maybe he drank some from that same water Bandit did in the 90's Johnny quest. where some of them found Shangra La. It made him young again and prevented his aging.
-
thats possible, though unlikely. the water from shangrila was supposed to have granted immortality.. so if that were true itchy couldn't have died-EVER.
-
Not sure if it made Bandit a true immortal, but it did change him from an old dog to a young dog like he was in the 60's cartoon. Before that he had been seen occationaly doing cameos as an old dog. I forgot who but Haji or Dr Quest seemed to think the water would only keep you young till Shangra appeared then you'd have to drink again.
-
it might have been Dr Quest.. but since I haven't seen that episode in awhile I'm not sure..
-
I remember reading one good possible explanation for the timeline plot hole:
One viewer thinks none of the dogs age in Heaven, and Itchy could have just been in Purgatory for a very long time.
-
purgatory is simply another nane for earth though..
-
Maybe easier to just say the 2nd movie never happened, or was someone's nightmare.
-
well without the sequel we don't get the setting for this rp
-
Not really. No reason it can't be set in any city or country or even some other world. It's not like the folks who made the 2nd movie will get mad if you set it in the same city as their movie but ignore their movie.
-
What character would you like to play Kor?
-
I'm not sure.
-
you can play as one of the main characters or create your own
-
Charlie the good guy con artist? Not sure if he stays like that all the time. dont' recall the other chars to well. Didn't he have a dachshund side kick?
always have to look up how to spell that word.
or make up a dog oc I guess.
-
yes Itchy is the dachunds name Itchy Itchiford is his full name..
-
I guess so called since he is always itchy.
-
In the first movie, I think Charlie was a gangster besides a con and a gambler. I started on an fanfic (one thought for an RP) based on the 1930 New Orleans setting with Charlie still sort of like a gangster, and with a cast of other gangsters and a canine "Untouchables" team.
The second one was already explained, but in the series, Charlie & Itchy were guardian angels, doing charitable work with kids, and Charlie still tries to pull off some cons, but almost always backfires for moral messages.
-
I'm surprised he got into heaven being a gangster, a con, and gambler, and a guardian angel on top of it. & his sidekick Ichy.
-
In the movie, all dogs went to heaven. Carface went to heaven even after murdering Charlie (and tried to do it again several times over).
-
I guess in that universe everyone gets to heaven, reguardless of what they do, or maybe only dogs and they can do whatever they wish. Not sure who to do.
Do the 2 angel chars have any powers the players should know about? There was a cartoon looong ago in the 80's I think where Gary Coleman played an angel char in a cartoon show.

You can read the info on this page.
-
I think the only magic Charlie and Itchy used in the series were given by Annabelle for emergencies. In the 2nd movie, he used such a gift so Sasha could be understood by David (the human char). I think most of the magic came from Annabelle and Belladonna.
-
yes the only magic they had was given to them by annibelle..
-
I think I'm about finished with some OCs, if the RP is as it's originally planned.
Name: Hawk
Species: Doberman Pinscher
Gender: Male
Occupation: Seeing-eye dog
Personality: Quiet, observant, very loyal to his master
Name: Linda
Species: Human

How's that for starters?
-
Pretty good, they are added! :)
-
Also, if Charlie's not taken yet, I can play him too.
-
Added!
-
Do you think it would be to late for me to join in to this roleplay?

Occupation: Stray

Name: Rascal
Age: Puppy
Species: Labrador Retriever
Occupation: N/A
Personality: Cheerful, playful, friendly, sweet/
-
Do dogs have jobs? I may join after a while. Not sure what sort of oc to make.
-
Some dogs do have jobs, like special help dogs and police dogs. The series had bartenders, like Sasha and another dog whose name I can't remember. She had a low raspy voice.
-
So different jobs like humans have, for the most part, sounds like.
-
Oh Dash, sorry I forgot about you're post.
Yeah, you can join the rp.
-
lets get moving ion this rp guys..
-
I was waiting to see if Dash is going to jump in. Also, I don't know who'll be playing Carface and Killer, as they're going to meet Blight for the first time.
-
good points Kenji.. hmm.. We might have to split them up amongst ourselves
-
You can play Carface while I play Killer. I think I'm playing too many villains as it is.
-
Alright
I'll play him as meanspirited and sarcastic..like he was in the first film
-
So what is the plan for the bad guys in the rp? belladonna is about to explain her plan but 'm not sure what the plan is.
-
Just thought of an idea: What if we brought back the King gator from the first film? :lol:
-
that wouldn't make sense considering the character was a one off. heck it invented 'biglipped alligator moments..
-
Bump.
We should discuss what the villians' plan is.
-
yes in particular belladonnas plan and blights. i've left in vague since i've been stuck on ewhat she could do..
-
any ideas brek?
-
Since I've been meaning to establish what the bad guys' plot is, here's what I've came up with based on re3cent posts:
Belladonna and Blight would basically be trying to create a "hell on earth" scenario using the Ravics and the Pyres, while Charlie, Annabelle and the others are their main opposition, so they'd natural try to eliminate them first.
-
please explain what the ravics and pyre are, so i have some idea of what to work with..
-
The Ravics-I thought of an explanation in my most recent post.
Pyres-Smaller creatures, can transform, not human in shape. They cannot talk either.
-
sounds good brek. thanks.
-
You're welcome Nick. :)
-
so where are the chars going now?
-
Perhaps now either to Heaven or Hell again to find a spell they would need to seal the ravics away/
-
heaven then
so bess and sasha will have to stay on Earth..
-
Gotcha.
-
so what are sasha and bess doing right now?
-
They're at David's house as of this post.
-
helping to clean up i presume?
-
Yeah, though they also want to rebuild the Flea Bite Cafe that was destroyed earlier in the RP.
-
then we'll have them talk about that at length then
-
True, though we don't have to focus on that right away.
-
how do you like my idea brek?
-
It's going good, plus that boyfriend swapping idea could lead to some humor.
-
yes.. hmm i might have a goiod idea
perhaps have sasha kiss itchy to make charlie a bit jealous? :lol:
-
It's been a while since we last tried to discuss Belladonna's plans. This is my idea of what it could be:
What was just delivered to her could be an artifact that could seal the city in a dark dome, where no one from heaven could get into it if they're not already inside. Here, Belladonna could prepare her army on the surface without interference for an invasion to conquer the earth.
The only catch for any story, Blight, who's been her active silent partner, is going to betray her...
-
That's a pretty good idea kenjiro!
Yeah, I think we could go with that.
-
thats a great idea Kenji! Lets go with it!
-
So this black dome thing? How long will it stay up?
-
Perhaps until the artifact is destroyed, and it has to be close to the surface to take effect on the surface, so they don't have to go too far to find it.
-
zlright, but in the meantime, it also blocks charlies and itchys angelic powers..
-
Does anyone object if I change the age of my char Linda to about David's age?
-
No, that's fine.
-
so whats the name of the guy in the black cloak?
-
You'll find out...
-
alright i guess..
-
I'm thinking: We should bring in another conflict soon now that the Blight and Zoria issue is over.
-
An idea: Maybe, for a storyline, we could have Charlie gradually give into the darkness for some reason we could develop.
-
is it too late to join?
-
No, but please come up with an oc, rocky.
-
Name: Shikage
Age: Dog
Breed: Tosa
Personality: Brave, honorible, and determined.
Bio: will be revealed later.
I hope this is ok
Name: Marley Barken
Breed: German sheepard
Cowardly, deadbeat, selfserving, swindler devoid of moral fiber, (worse than carface and charlie at the start of the first movie).
Bio: The father of charlie Barken, Marley abandoned him after charle was born. He latter sold his soul to Belladonna for immortality, now he is a bigshot crime lord.
I was thinking that maybe Marley could con charlie into "helping to get his soul back" Only for charlie to end up being scamed, he then gives into the dark and his friends have to save him before he kills, or he'd be lost forever.
-
Charlie doesn't reveal much of anything about his parents.. while its an interesting idea, trying to con Charlie imo won't work. He had no relationship with his father at all and after all this time, probably wouldn't want one.
-
but the beauty is, he doesn't tell him he's his dad, only that he sold his soul and he wants it back.
-
the similarities would be too similar imo..
-
There may still be a way for this idea to work. Say if Marley made a deal with my devil jackal to trade his soul for Charlie, then the con could be in the form of a plea for help, written in letters and pictures. Could that work?
-
i suppose that could work..
-
While the idea could work Rocky, i need to speak out on this, you have been writing plots, in this rp, and others, to fit your characters, rather than writing a character so they help fill the plot. Simply having Charlies dad, in this rp, pop up after all these years, does not make any sense. its a plot hole, which you then have to fix by explaining where he was all this time, and why he abandoned Charlie. charlie is not going to warm to him, in fact hes going to despise him for it. you need to write a subplot(and that is what this is) in such a way that others can participate, so its not centered on a character who is supporting or minor. I believe you can be a good rper Rocky, but you need to remember that you are not the only rper in this story, nor do you control where the plot goes..
-
how about Belladona tries to kill Sasha, or david, or itchy.
-
Nah, too simplistic and rash for Belladonna's character. She's the type to do damage on a much bigger scale, and with slightly more finesse.
Maybe, if Beller were to be corrupted enough by Belladonna and Set (my jackal) to betray his parents.
-
That could work Kenjiro
-
corrupting beller imo would be a better idea .. shes been working on that for awhile anyway..
-
OK, trying to get this RP back alive:
We got the idea of Belladonna working to get little Beller to become a real hellhound.
For another subplot, Marley, Rocky's character, could be sent to take over Carface's surface operations of recruiting mortal misfits, including...(drumroll)...Oliver J Barkin, a living descendant of the Barkin family, also a smuggler and crook.
And from what I remember, Sasha and Bess had agreed before to switch boyfriends to teach Charlie a lesson.
-
All of those ideas are very interesting imo. :)
-
I'll take the role of Oliver, unless you wanted to be him, Kenjiro.
-
Go ahead. Here's his general profile:
Very similar to Charlie, other than younger looking, reddish fur w/ dark brown on back and tan underside. He wears a red bandanna and a gold pocket watch (it is what you might think it is). His jobs is mainly smuggling goods into San Francisco Bay and stealing from other smugglers. I'll let you set his personality.
-
the switching boyfriends uiidea sounds like fun. lets start..
-
Thanks Kenjiro! I'll take a little time to come up with a fitting personality.
-
so is oliver charlies grandson, great-grandson.. or something like that?
-
It may be fourth or fifth generation. I'm measuring by dog lifetimes, about 20 years.
-
An idea I had for further down the rp, after we explore the current situation and deal with the current villain:
A being comes to earth from beyond the planet, or even galaxy/universe, and the only way to stop it is for the characters of earth, heaven, and hell to team up.
-
So we might be facing an alien? That would be different.
-
i'm not sure that would work
we're already dealing with supernatural beings, isn't that enough..
-
good point nick, we can drop the idea
-
Just a quick welfare check on everyone to see who's still in ADGTH.
-
I'm still in it.
-
i'm still here..
-
I was wondering guys...if we could bring in some kind of descendant of the gator from the first film? :lol
-
I don't see why not. I am interested to see how a gator manages to live in San Francisco. :lol
