These characters are awesome, Paws, however I don't get why your scrapping a few characters and revising them as well, question though, I'm not real good with greek Gods, but is Athena going to be Apollo's sibling?

I'm scrapping some of those characters because I just feel I can't find a use for them anymore, or I've gotten bored or tired with trying to role-play as them or develop them. And no, Apollo and Athena are not related; Apollo is a Dalmatian, while Athena is a Golden Retriever.

I'm glad you're keeping Appette, Splatter and Abby, Paws. I just hope you don't change them too drastically. I'd like it if you kept Apollo and Oliver too, since I liked them a lot.

I'm sorry I haven't taken the time to respond in this thread. You've got a lot of great characters, and I like to see what you have to explain about each one after they're revamped.

Thanks guys! Belchic- It may not seem apparent, but Saturn's personality actually changed considerably. Before this she didn't really have much of a personality I don't think I ever got to give her a proper biography, even.

I'm planning to revise him, as he never got fleshed out like I had wanted him to. I'm still on the fence as to whether I want to keep his name as "Snapshot" or just make it a nickname.

Oooh, Another Dalmatian from the Vandercream area then? Wonder how Sandy would act to her. I get a feeling she might fit in with Jewel though.
Would you say she is like the spoilt rich pup?
Although, This does seem like a good start! =3 Looking forward to seeing her in action; Paws! ;3

A Wig glued on your head? That sounds like something someone would do for a prank. Although, I guess it may be a fair reason if a Pup has Human like head fur, right?
I guess if she originally comes from a Ranch, the Dearly Farm should suit her fine, right? ;3
Nice Pup, Paws. ;3 Looking forward to seeing her in action. X3

My characters are going to be (once again) receiving massive overhauls in several ways in the coming days -- please stand by for any changes & pardon my clutter!

You have done this a lot, Paws. I wonder what kinds of changes you'll have in store for us this time.

I know I’ve been putting this off, and many of you are a little confused as to what I’ve been meaning by the fact that I’m revamping my characters once again, so let me give a little insight as to what I’m planning.
(All characters with names in bold are that I am either going to use again or have plans to revise in some way.)
-Dropping the Quartet entirely, for sure. It was a fun concept at the time, of parodying peoples’ weak copycat groups of the Main Four through more complex characters, but every plan I had for them either fell through or just didn’t happen the way I wanted them to. Plus the supporting characters aside from Ariel got…really boring really fast.
I definitely know I’m keeping Ariel around as perhaps an athletics advisory or an agility coordinator to the Bark Brigade, or an older sheepdog or something (I’ve already re-designed her and aged her up), and I’ve been toying with the idea of keeping Quentin based on an old concept I had for him – but Goose and Luca are gone completely.
-Abby (my Abby -- not Lupus's) and Angela are gone completely. Dunno if I’ve made that clear already, but essences of their characters have more or less been infused and reborn in Vanilla and Maddie, whom I plan to use a lot more. (Also, I’ve decided that Maddie’s “hair” is no longer a wig glued onto her head – she just enjoys wearing wigs. I’ll be tweaking her backstory to fit this change.)
Speaking of sister duos:
-I’m thinking of scrapping Appette -- or at the very least, taking parts of her personality and infusing them into Vera (an older character of mine who was originally created to be a girlfriend to Kit’s Flux, and honestly had a very similar personality to Appette). Several reasons for this:
I know Appette has become sort of my “signature” character over the years, but looking at her from a reflective standpoint she’s just become…boring to me? She really hasn’t developed much and is just sort of uninteresting. And honestly, she was really only born from a picture of a scared-looking Dalmatian with triangles on her ears that I drew when I was in 7th grade. And her name isn’t even a real word.
I’ve looked at Vera’s personality from multiple perspectives in the past couple of weeks (mostly running through and editing her old bio that I’ve never posted), and it just kept occurring to me that she and Appette were almost too similar – both were fairly shy and somewhat skittish, sweet-hearted once they warmed up to another person, had similar interests (nature, old movies, old musicals), and were both very expressive. The only major difference between the two were their backstories, but even then they came across as close.
Additionally, I remember Kit asking me about possibly fattening up Vera to appeal more to Flux’s preferences, and while I was reluctant to do so a few years ago, it makes more sense to me now to do it if I merge Appette with Vera. I’m really still thinking on this one, but the idea just appeals to me so much.
-Should I end up scrapping Appette (and hell, I may do this regardless), I’ll be separating Saturn from Appette’s story completely and revising her, giving her an entirely new backstory unattached from her former sister and closer to her boyfriend. I intend to bring them to a level of childhood friendship and pull their relationship closer through that. Should this change be made, I’ll be using Saturn’s given name, Saffron, instead.
(Pizza STILL needs a proper bio as well, but that’s neither here nor there.)
-Scrapping Abril and keeping only Marisol is looking very likely. Abril wasn’t even originally conceived to exist – Marisol was – and I have enough sister-sister duos as it is. I think I may give Mari a brother, or I may let her exist independently as I had originally planned.
Also, I think I’m going to change her breed from a Golden Retriever/Dalmatian to a Pit Bull/Dalmatian and revert her design back to her original concept from 2010, or at the very least, something extremely similar to it.
-Bashful is staying entirely the same, however I may tweak her backstory a bit (nothing major, just details about her former owner’s job), and her sexuality is finally confirmed. (She is bisexual.) I…kind of think it’d be cute if she had a girlfriend, or at least someone that she would have a really close cuddly platonic relationship with. She is still somewhat childish, after all.
-Josh is another character I desperately want to keep around but am thinking of changing in some regards:
-Should I decide to go through with Mari’s changes (and the more I think about this idea, the more I love it) I think instead of making Josh an all-around inventor/scientist, he’ll have an interest more focused in math, mechanics, and machinery. Marisol’s scientific interests would be more concentrated in biology, medicine, and canine condition (with a mutual interest in chemistry between them) – and the two could collaborate and exchange ideas frequently.
Does this mean I’m going to start shipping Mari with Josh? Well…no, but I think I’d like Josh to stay single for now (break it off with Chloee). I want to try a few different things with his preferences – putting him on the asexual scale and giving emphasis to his platonic relationships with other scientific minds would be interesting to explore.
(Josh is also a little older than most of the pups – he’s very nearly an adult. He’s just a kid at heart. This has been a constant since I redid his bio in the summer.)
-Splatter’s gone – she’s pretty much been gone since Nemo got rid of Stotch – but I’ll get around to making a new Dalsona. Eventually.
-edit- continuing
-I'm very on the fence about whether or not I'm keeping Apollo. I thought he was a cool idea at the time, and based from one of my most favorite sources in nature -- but I just went about him all the wrong way. The more I think about him the more he just feels so childish.
I'll be posting new bios ASAP! Starting with my sister duo and working down the line.
