Name: Marilyn
Codename: Echo
Affiliation: The Limestone Street Legionnaires
Rank: Liason, jack-of-all-trades (universal alternate)
Sex: Female, altered.
Breed: Dalmatian.
Age: 2 1/2
Personality: Echo is a bit of a tomboy, but still polite and refined. She's very brave and almost always puts herself second after preserving the safety of others (whether they be friend or stranger). She has seen some truly terrible things during her employment as a firehouse dog and is very attached to her human co-workers and humans in general.
Echo literally does not understand the concept of deceit or lying. She doesn't necessarily think it's wrong, she just doesn't really understand the need to be deceptive when being honest usually brings about a better outcome. If she has nothing nice to say, she doesn't say anything at all.
Echo believes in The Golden Rule, and strives to treat others as she would like to be treated.
As a jack-of-all-trades, Echo can move seamlessly into any role the Legionnaires need her to fill, though her main responsibility is that of a Liason. She delivers whatever news she picks up from the firehouse to the Legionnaires if that news pertains to the Old Market Gang or other Legionnaires-related issues.
Important Relationships:
Shield: Echo and Shield have a friendly (and half-hearted) rivalry, going back to their affiliation with the firehouse and police station respectively. They both have a deep respect for one another as working-dogs and can relate better than they might with animals that are strictly pets, strays, or wild.
"Doc": Echo actually calls "Doc" by his preferred name, Sir Reginald. She is amazed by the smaller dog's intellect and skill. She has tried to adopt his level-headedness for herself.
Jinx: Echo's significant other. Jinx is one of the Unfortunates, and Hocus' first apprentice. Echo enjoys Jinx's carefree, relaxed nature and always enjoys the time she spends with him. She wishes he would leave the Scrapyard and become a "proper, self-respecting member of canine-society," but Jinx is quite adverse to the idea.
Try-Out Scenarios: PM these to Neighborhood Watch and/or post them here. All auditions must be at least 3 paragraphs in length, spell-checked, and grammatically sound. You don't have to be perfect, but at least proof-read your work!
-Echo picking up some disturbing information about The Gang and rushing to The Fort to deliver the news.
-Echo and Shield bickering about which House is better: Fire or Police.
-Echo getting patched up by Doc and discussing the concept of deception with him.
-Echo "on a date" with Jinx.
That's it! If you win the character, I will PM you to let you know and you can start getting her registered and set-up in the Yellow Pages. After that, roleplay! (YAAAY!)
Played By: Vixxie
Once again, this was a difficult choice. We really seem to have a lot of fantastic roleplayers here (in fact, everyone seems great so far) so my job isn't an easy one. Vixxie really got into this character from the get-go and understand her the most, in my opinion.
Congrats, Vix and thanks to everyone who tried out for this special girl!
