Raikaken is, in essence, a continuation for GDO members. Due to a loss of active staff, including the creator of GDO who's ideas are what made the site, I'm trying to do a sort of reboot. I also set up Raikaken to be as open as possible to anyone who was not previously a GDO member. GDO members who transfer over, however, will receive special benefits. This is so you do not have to start over from scratch simply due to a change in location.

There is a legend, a legend among dogs. A legend telling of pets and strays doing amazing things, saving humans and other dogs, becoming heroes. A long time ago, far away in Japan, an Akita Inu named Gin gathered dogs from all over the country. Inspired by his sense of justice and generosity many dogs join his pack. The pack goes on to fight the vicious bears trying to take over their homeland, and in the final battle Gin decapitates the great bear Akakabuto, with the famous Zetsu tenrou battouga attack, thus saving Japan. When his father dies in the battle, Gin becomes the leader of this pack.
As years pass, it is Gin's son Weed who leads the Soldiers of Ohu. With the help of Jerome and other soldier dogs, they defeat the evil monster Kaibutsu, but peace does not last long. Soon a cruel Great Dane named Hougen forms a great pack to destroy the Ohu Soldiers and claim Futugo Pass as his own. With the help of the Ohu pack, Weed finally defeats Hougen in battle, and their home is safe once more.
Now, so many years later, these stories have been passed down and traveled all over the world. In the cities and wilderness, many dogs desire to live up to these legends. It is here where your journey begins. Are you a dog? A stray or pet seeking higher purpose and grand adventures? Will you be among the heroes of old? Will you form your own pack and fight any evil taking over your homeland? Or will you be among these evils, taking over territories for yourself? What new legends unfold, is entirely up to you.
Setting: North America - Modern Day
Allowed Characters: Dogs, humans, wild animal, tame animals. Any realistic, existing animal is allowed! Experimental creatures known as 'hellhounds'. Any eye and coat color, but no extra appendages such as wings, etc. Magical abilities are limited to a few listed abilities. Non-canon.
Registry: Character applications are required, we have a format. Powerful characters must be 'bought' using post count. Despite this we are relaxed with applications. We do not restrict any breed or species, you may even play a human if you want.
Activity: Just revamped, with a continuation storyline from another site, GDO.
Current Plots: A number of dogs and other animals have been appearing at an island lately. Most of these seem to be wearing some sort of radio collar or have tags in their ears. But no one knows where they come from or why they are here.
*Member run plots are [open].
Knowledge of the Ginga series is -not- required, you may also treat this as simply a stray dog / animal RP.
Site Plot: In the great American wilderness, a legend was once told. It features dogs of another age, another country, a place far across the sea. It is a place few here have ever heard of, an island by the name of Japan. Here a foreign breed of bear hounds have reigned, saving their homeland by fending off bloodthirsty bears and evil dog packs. But the legends are dead, nothing remains of the stories once hailed. Not even reaching across the sea, do the legends live on. It was short tale, the dogs of the west no longer have need of such things.
Packs come and go, here in the wilderness. The legends are passed off as mere superstition. What do a bunch of foreigners know anyway? We have bears here too, great hulking beasts. What's the difference between them and those monsters across the sea, and why should we care anyway? In the west, it does not concern us. And so we move on with our lives, caring not for legends and foreign heroes.
But now a new legend is arriving. In great numbers have more foreigners shown up on our shores. What is the meaning of this? Are we being invaded? Are they mere castaways from some great wreck at sea? And why do these animals, mostly dogs, have strange collars and tags in their ears?
Strange things have been happening lately. The foreigners that have swept onto our shores say weird things. They claim to be from Japan. But why would so many be dumped here? Perhaps some investigation is in order... Will the natives of this wilderness accept these strangers with open arms? Or will they try and dispose of them?
Are you one of those who found themselves waking up on an unknown shore? Are you part of a pack now scattered? Find your friends, regather your packs, and leave this island. Will you make your new home in this wilderness, or will you try to fight your way back home? Its up to you.
Remake history! Create a legend again!

Notes: Raikaken is a Ginga series based roleplay. However knowledge of the series is not required and you may also just treat this as a stray dog RP. The setting is in modern United States, though not currently limited to a specific area.
Currently, only the Wilderness Sanctuary and Awakening Isle are open. Later on, as character plots progress, new areas will be discovered.
Most of the members here are from another Ginga site, Ginga Denkiteki Omaesan. It is an rp created by Sharp/Avyris. Sadly the site has gone inactive and the creator has been MIA for some time. Due to requests from other staff and members of the community however, I have decided to convert Raikaken as a continuation for characters of GDO. We will in no way be stealing Avyris/Sharp's ideas for the game here at Raikaken, but some characters may have a history relating to their roleplays there.
You do not have to be a member of GDO, past or present, to enjoy roleplaying here. But I will be writing a special plot device to help people transition their characters.
