[center][b][i][u]The Enslavement[/u][/I][/b] Pairing: [color=RoyalBlue]K9 Anthro Partner[/color] x [color=MediumPurple]Human Female Police Officer[/color] [hider=My OC] Name: Christa Parks Age: 23 Ethnicity: American Personality: Calm, Level-Headed, Likes to laugh. [/hider] Anthros are second class citizens, they used to be on the same level, even feared by some. Now everyone is racist and hates them. They used to be free people. Now, they were mere slaves and accessories. The Canine Anthros are generally forced into government work, e.g. police dogs. Most other Anthros are slaves or if they are lucky enough, pets. They are taken to shows like Crufts and other animal shows to win prizes and be humiliated by the humans. No way in hell does a human date these 'things'. No one cares about the K9, humans get all the credit. If anything is too risky and people might die? Send the K9s in, they are expendable. My character however has a background of growing up with Anthros as she used to live in the country side, she's a farm girl and her family hired a lot of different kinds of Anthros to help around the farm, paid them a proper wage and treated them exactly like what they were, people. The K9 would be brought up from being a pup around other K9s, taken away from their mothers and fathers at a young age. You don't get a choice in job occupation unless you're born out of the city and classed as 'feral'. K9s live in the police kennels unless their owners have correct housing for them. Most K9 officers leave them at the kennel and pick them up every morning. Some allow them to go home with them but they have to sleep like on a dog bed on the floor. K9's have zero control over anything. Human says jump K9 asks how high. Second class citizens that get no praise. Most Anthros unless they already know a nice human, don't have high expectations for how they are going to be treated. [hider=Opening Post] There she stood, rather nervous, her heart pounding so loudly she could hear it. Her mouth was dry, she lifted her water bottle to her lips and took a long gulp. This was they day she was assigned a K-9. She had been told many things about them, and how she must be strict, they are just humanised dogs that could talk. She was taught how and when to use the electric shock control on the collar, and exactly how much of a shock to give what different disciplines. She was given her remote for the K-9's collar. Christa clipped it onto her belt and tugged at it to make sure it was secure. She got a thumbs up and the go ahead into the kennels from her lieutenant. Her hound was awaiting collection. She wasn't quite sure why she was so nervous. She had a flash back to when she was just a child. She had a good Anthro friend, she was a lop eared rabbit. Ruby, was her name. She smiled fondly as she remembered when they were playing in a puddle of mud. She remembered having to help her blow dry her fur and break the mud out. She stifled back a giggle as she remembered her fond memories of her old friend. Christa shook her head as she brought herself back into concentrating on what was at hand. A security guard gave her access to the kennels. She took a deep breath and walked in. As she walked down the isles she felt eyes glaring at her. She did feel sorry for all the Anthros in cages... It was no life to live constantly caged. She knew that these Anthros... these people had just as much intellect as humans did. She didn't believe in treating them any less than she would anyone else, she was always brought up that way. Her father died before she was born but it was an Anthro that helped him get to a hospital to be cared for. This was of course during the time Anthros were free citizens, before the government put them to -in their words- 'a better use'. He was stabbed in the street by a group of young adult humans. This was why she wanted to become a police officer, this was why she wanted to be part of the K-9 squad. She stopped and turned, looking into the cage she saw her new partner. "K-9 (Insert your OC's name). Pleased to meet you, I'm officer Christa Parks." She said politely with a small smile spreading across her lips. The security guard came and unlocked the cell door. Christa offered her hand out to shake. She was hoping that this would be the start of a good friendship.[/hider] [/center]
