History

The Poodle Boys were originally a trio of well trained and well loved house pets belonging to Raphael and his Best Friend. Then a Virus wiped out the Humans, but not Rafe, so he trained the Poodle Boys in new skills to survive; they learned quickly and seemed happy to learn.

After some travels through Shadow with Rafe, the Poodle Boys were Gifted a great honor; an Avasa Dufiro of Guard Bonded to each Dog. It was a Gift from Curious the Cat; a Masoja Dufiro of Guard. Each Avasa is Fealty Bound to Curious. This Bond did Not alter each dog's character or behavior, nor add intelligence, per se. It did increase each dog's instincts, natural abilities, senses and fighting skills to a very high level and increased each dog's Self-Preservation Instinct to an extremely high level.

After some more travels in Shadow, with Avasa improving them without 'altering' them, the Poodles Boys got the opportunity to be trained by Professional Circus Animal Trainers at Deselduia, which added new skills and levels of performance and increased their skills and abilities to that of Professional Circus Dogs.

And after more travels with Rafe, this time in the Dufiro Realms, the Poodles Boys were given another great Honor and Gift from Curious; each became an Elemental of Movement. (More to come...)

GM Commentary & Game Play Posts

GM Commentary 'Think of the Avasa in the animals as giving them 20 levels of fighting ability, speed, and extra dog senses without changing their character, behaviors. Bound that way they (the Avasa) add no intelligence, really, though they (the Dogs) will have a high sense of self-preservation. When they leave, the dogs will be tougher and the Avasa will have experience being dogs. Dogs being protective it's a good fit and they are a common bonding for Guard Dufiro.'

Game Play Post - GM 'The Poodles were well trained when they arrived, with love and companionship. They had Avasa of Guard in them that raised their comprehension higher but the experts in training (at Deselduia) made the dogs learn to be professional grade performers. Rafe was coached in the language and mannerisms the trainers used. The dogs seem delighted.'

Game Play Posts - GM Curious turns to the Guide, then to Rafe. He starts shifting to fill out a short cat/human. "It is. I am a Masoja of Earth and Guard. As well as..." ~ The Guide puts his hand up, "I know what else. Proceed." ~ "These three are friends. They each carry an Avasa of Guard, as you can tell. They are primitive bound to this Changer. I have made bargains to have these three entered into the ranks of the Elementals of Movement. I had not spoken to the Changer yet. It is a matter of some detail." ~ The Guide nods, "Easy enough for a Primus Illuminar. We can accommodate space for your work toward Shifter. If you need space for the Movement Elementals, we can mange that." ~ Fuzzy Cat looks to Rafe. "The Poodle Boys are eligible to become Movement Elementals. If you wish." ~ (Rafe) "Yes, by all means, Curious. I would love that for my Poodle Boys. Thank you." ~Quotes from Game Play.

Game Play Post - GM "They are Movement Elementals. That's their life path. For all their devotion the intelligence is high on the animal scale. You can nudge them into certain Spasa Races without raising their intelligence. They are extremely well trained. Though they are combat trained it really isn't their Forte unless they are attacked. They (individually) could kick the crap out of a wolf and as a trio they could take out a bear. But a tiger would eat them.” ~Curious the Cat, Masoja of Guard
