The snow is finally melting away causing some flood warnings in the area. The sun shines bright overhead with only a few clouds blocking its light every hour or so. For now, there is no chance of rain making it a beautiful day for both canine and human. The trees are devloping their leaves and flowers are starting to bloom.
July 21;;Problems- As some of you probably noticed I have not been on all weekend. My personal problems went from bad to worse. Most of it dealing with my father. Since he is home all week plus this weekend I will not be on. The other thing is that I have a crush on this guy.... so I am spending most of my time with him. I hopefully will get all replies done this week and will post them on Monday. Bye everyone for now. Del
July 19;;Return- as I promised, I'm back from vacation. I will be searching for my photoshop now, so I can hopefully get that back, fix some things, set up a new rule that has been repeatedly requested, and last but not least, get the SAFF running. So, feel free to contact me with anything else that needs to be done. Suicide.
July 12;;Leaders Decided/Absence- To start of in a joyful mood, I'm proud to announce our new leaders for Aysel and Dire have been announced! You can click HERE And read about it. Congratulations, Wraith (played by Wraith) and Allure (played by Hidden) for winning your lead positions! I would also, again, like to thank Del for running the site smoothly in my strange absence. I don't know what it is, but something wants me to keep dissapearing. My latest excuse now is loss of internet. For the past week, my internet has been gone. Sorry, guys! Unfortunatly, you must live a few days without me now. I'm heading off to California sunday for a few days. When I get back, it will probably be my full return. Until then, Behave for Del and roleplay! -Suicide.
July 11;;Spring Is Here- Whoo! Spring is finally here and with it brings many surprises for in character and out of character posts. Before I get into that I want to give a congratulations to our new MotM Shadow Pup and our new CotM Wraith. Thanks to all who voted and we definately chose the right members. Since it is spring that means that females are in heat, so puppies are coming my way. I will be decided the puppy stats, while Ciders is finding a way to get online. She is going to be announcing the Aysel and Dire leaders soon, so keep your eyes open. The First Seasonal S.A.F.F. is postponed until she returns. Tomorrow I will be holding a new contest and a new poll, so watch out for those. That is it for the time being. Have fun with the new season. Del
July 9;;Coming Together- In a few days I will announce the CoTM and MoTm. So it is taking so long, I have to read PMs and I just sent in the form for the images today. Sorry for the long wait. It will be spring in a couple days and with the new season we will have a contest and a poll up for you guys. Be on the look out! Del
July 5;;My oh My- Im sorry for not being around here, you guys. I have alot of traveling and other things going on. I'm going to try harder though, even though the lack of my own computer makes it difficult. Thanks to Del for running around here. I'll try to catch up on things though. Again, I apologize.
-Suicide.

I have some people and their characters in mind, but I would like you to send me a PM stating who chould earn the right of getting MoTM and CoTM for July. Tomorrow I will be holding a poll, so be on the lookout for that. Remember to get your biographies done. Del
Shattered Alley is Intermediate - Advanced. We have a 200 word minimum for every in character post. We have been around for a couple years; and [rerere] re-opened in the beginning of February. Right now we are free of a plot, so members may chose their characters own path. You are free to join a pack of your choice, and roleplay in the realistic city of Phereio. Although, there is a twist. Phereio suffered a horrible earthquake, and is now shaken to its limits. Few humans still colonize in small parts of the suburbs, but everywhere else: disaster has written it's name.
This site is very open to it's members. Friendly people alike often have joyful conversations and stimulate awsome activity, which seems often hard to find in sites. Shattered Alley is very open to the members opinions and thoughts, and recognize them before making any path-altering decisions. Members are permitted things alot of sites seal off only for their staff. Such as colorful names, and even community jobs to help around the site, and get paid in "bones" for their work. (bones is our form of credits which members can purchase stuff from our market with.) So If you really read all this, I hope it helps your decision in joining. Welcome to Shattered Alley, My friend.
Here you will find the rules, as well as other guidlines and various, important articles. Please read the rules, Rules are a requirement. It is also advised you read the other information, too.
You may check here for pack updates, information, and plots for the pack posted by members. Check often and get more involved with your pack! [ quick links ] | Dire | Aysel | Tanto | Reix |
Before you roleplay you need to create a biography for your character. -You must be accepted before roleplaying. You may be accepted by Suicide or Del.
Here you may post a log for your character including whatever you wish, such as where they have been, relationships, and thread or plots you plan on entering with your characters.
Have nay plot ideas for your character and another character, or maybe a few other characters? Go ahead and post it here to create and solve a plot with other members.
Is your character looking to have a mate? Or maybe you would like your dog to have one or to close pals that will have his/her back. You may put a wanted ad or post an advertisement for your character here.
If you may have one to many characters, and sadly can not keep all of them active, you may place their biography here and allow another member to roleplay as that character. You may request auditions if you like, too.
If you are planning on having pups, you will ned to post here using the forms. This is a fairly set up system, meaning the pups are randomized to fit real life situations, such as defection and still birth.
It is as though death itself could have been the mentor of the Stone Rose graveyard. Tall, tangled willow trees sway high in the air, their long fingures dragging over the cracked headstones, whispering their eerie curses to the rotten breeze. The browning grass is over grown, stuffing the bases of the dead trees and graves. The ground is moldy and damp, a slight scent of decay clinging to the air. stone caskets are cracked and pieces are missing- as well as their contents. The haunting death yard is no desireable place for humans; which of only few dare to pass over the muddy path that weaves snake-like through the weeds and mossy head stones. The silence is thick, the little bits of music either being the quaking of tree branches or a hollow moan from the wind. Haunting dogs have found the overgrowth and cracked tombs a fair place to live. If they aren't easily disturbed, that is. Dire pack
Not many know of this long-forgotten subway station, as its two entraces were torn down and sealed, made to look like practical sidewalk. How do you get in in then? Behind an old hamburger hut right across the street is an old stairwell that led to the janitors work-room, as well as the electrical room. These two rooms are small and crowded, cluttered with various buckets, wires, and small plastic bags. Though, exiting these rooms, you enter the main hall, which contains blue and white tiled walls and floors, a row of blue fold chairs down the center, and a set of restrooms. Trash is strewn across the ground, left behind from other dogs or homeless men. To the east each side of the large hall are rails for subways, which havn't been used in quite a while. Every now and then, the lights will rattle and flicker, the walls rumbling as a train passes through the new tunnel, which is just on the otherside of the wall. Aysel pack
Now, to get the complete, good-natured feel of these apartments, you must imagine them when they were occupied and well taken care of. Sense their time, the windows have been broken or cracked, curtains ripped and the velvet-soft carpet worn and rotten. In this small complex, there are four living spaces, Which includes a downstair, four car garage with a small cabnit room that possibly once held a washing machine for clothing. An old car remains disabled in the garage, rusty and lifeless. Among all of the rooms, the contents include a matress which is torn in various places; rusty springs sticking out in a few places. Then a couch, which is faded and dusty; also torn in numerous places, the cushions no longer together properly due to their disfiguration. Tanto pack
This place was quite active in it years of often-used glory; always taking in unwanted stolen cars, cars that were confinscated due to the owner either being arrested for a crime, or even to take in the old junkers that would build up along the road and end up forgotten. Though no longer is this place active, it still hold stacks of old metal car frames, cars seats- anything to do with an unfunctional car. A few large, shabby trees are scattered pointlessly across the ground which is tough, flakky and dry; patched with countless stains from spilled luquids that have leaked out of vehicles over the years. In the almost-center ofhe lot is a circular formation that isles inbetween cars lead off of. A small lemon tree sits in the center- a bitter on site source of food. Reix pack
This alley is questionably small in width and unreasonably crowded. Many grabage cans line the sides, as well as used other unwanted trash. Though, the reason that the dogs have given the 'oasis' such a name? Well, the trashcans often happen to be crammed with small food scraps from the resturants that border this alley. It is a very promising place to find a meal- but not the safest due to it's popularity.
This old, four story parking garage has been here for quite some time. It is indeed large, and still commonly used. It used to be the one that traffics civilians when a sport game come or attraction came around, housing a full crowd of vehicles. Though, sense the earthquake, quite a few parts have fallen in.
Around twice a year, a fair will swing through the town for a short while, using this city-deticated lot. The lot simply a large feild of cement and booths, empty stadium seating for shows, old stands, a few wooden picnic tables, and a collapsed farris wheel. It was deserted and forgotten after the earthquake, but yet the supplies still remain in the buildings.
After a newer, fancy playground and park had been built, less and less visitors attended the old tatum park. The ground keeper stopped comming to the deserted park and locked the broken gate. Weeds now entwine temselves through the equipment and the chainlink fence. The swings are broken and creek in the breeze. The sandbox now has little sand but is mostly mud. other trash has been tossed over or stuck in the chainlink fence by pedestrians. The Tatum Park is all together unwanted garbage that the humans are too lazy to take away. -Currently Reix
A small church sits back in, hidden from main view. The windows contain cracked wood boards with various things spray painted onto them. Across the old red door are a few large planks, blocking easy entry. The cross above the curch is missing altogether, and the angel above the door has been rudely painted and chizzeled at. Inside, a few old wood benches sit with a small bench and post at the head. Above it is a large broken window that grants entrance to unwanted creatures. -Currently Dire Territory
Many acres of rolling, lush green hills dotted with sand banks that dip into the earth. Green, gentle willows speckle across the borders, their long hair swaying softly in the breeze. There is a clear water pond toward the end of the course, which has a small fountain sprouting from the center, misting the breeze. The fresh scent of clean-cut grass and rain washes out any of the cities stench, which is just off to the south.
Quite a ways from the city of Pherio a large forest and nature preserve sits. The main attraction for the visitors is the large, glassy waterfall known as Nascosto Falls. A hiking trail weaves through the trees to bring you front view to this beautiful feature, then leads you behind the falls into a medium sized cavern. There are indeed many smaller, additional waterfalls than gain little to no attention in comparison to Nascosto Falls.
This old barn has been abandond for quite some time, distanced by feilds of what used to be some sort of crop. No one has ever given much attention to the barn, but many like to tease that it is haunted. It is missing part of the roof and patches of the wall, which have been worn away over the many, many years. -Currently Tanto Territory
Few know of this old castle located somewhere in the outskirts far from Phereio City. You must travel through an almost endless wood to reach the destination, taking a path marked in the bark of trees that is almost invisible to the naked eye. Once through the woods you will find the moat, fifteen feet deep which no longer contains water. All water has been dried up, and even mud is not present in its depths. Weeds grow across the rim of the moat, so those who are not careful will find themselves tripping into the deep moat. Most would assume you enter through the drawbridge, but because it no loner works you must take a different entrance. It is down yes, but the gate is shut and rusted in place, so even the smallest breed of dogs cannot enter through the front door.
Stuffed in a patch of trees are a few set of railing set up for the various trains that launch themselves through the vacant station. It is no longer in business, but was left up as it was considered one of the cities 'Historical Treasures'. There is infact a delicous fresh water spring not far off, which does come out being quite convienient. -Currently Tanto Territory
