Dramatis Personæ
Here's what you have to work with - hey beggars can't be choosers!
There is a choice of four player characters. Each character has different strengths and weaknesses, but all are essentially evenly matched.
There are four breeds of sheep, each with their own distinctive styles, behaviours and aims. They do, however, share the same common trait of stupidity.
|
Herders:
|
Adam shrugged off his responsible life as a bank manager to pursue a more laid back, downbeat and easy going lifestyle as a private eye. One late evening driving home, he is abducted by the sheep, and wakes up convinced of some huge conspiracy involving the sheep. Think Fox Mulder crossed with Bruce Willis. His attitude to the sheep is one of kind brutality.
|
|
Shepherd by day, and lead singer of rock band by night. She wakes up after her abduction with a feeling that there is a huge sheep rock concert she and the sheep must attend. She has "a way" with sheep, coaxing even the most stubborn ovine out of danger through her charming manner. Think Bjork crossed with Courtney Love.
|
|
Motley is a simple pet dog, who bounds with energy and enthusiasm. She has long dreamed of being a sheepdog. She is the only character that really understands what the message of her abduction is all about. Haunted by an incident in her past makes her intimidated by some of the harder sheep breeds. Think 'The Littlest Hobo' meets Mr. Blobby.
|
|
Shep is a highly intelligent and obsessive sheepdog. He now trawls the underground sheep trial world, as a "hired gun" sheepdog. His age has affected his sight, and he is a little slower than he used to be, but he has refused to retire. The abduction, however, changes his mind, believing this to be the grand finale of his herding life. Think Lassie crossed with Rambo.

Sheep Breeds:
|
Sometimes referred to, as "Clouds". Normal, boring sheep who live in the fields. Are scared of just about everything. These are your basic, middle-of-the-road, everyday sheep. The ideal beginners breed.
|
|
Referred to as "Woolheads". Manufactured sheep bred solely for wool in varying textures and shades. Live in barns. Very stupid, fashion conscious and vacant, they like pretty things, such as flowers. Will follow anyone and anything as long as it's fashionable. Are not really afraid of things as such, not having the intelligence to distinguish between danger and safety.
|
|
Referred to as "Dags". Sub culture sheep that live on the fringes of society, bikers, rockers and crusties alike. Like rock music! Not as cowardly as most sheep but still stupid, nonetheless. Their favourite haunt is Septic Dive.
|
|
Sheep that work closely with man and technology. They give off a cool hard exterior, but in reality are still stupid and cowardly. They are good with computers and traffic. Referred to as "Penheads".
