Name: Dust From the Desert
Why do you want him?: I want him because I enjoy his markings and his colours I really like the small markings on his leg but I also think he'd make a great first Oxirie for me.

Name: Khamsin
Why do you want him?:This will be my first ever time attempting to adopt from Oxiries. I would be very happy to see that I won it on my first try. Obviously, if I don't win, that's okay. There are other times to win. Also, those colors though. Amazing. It makes it look very realistic.

Name: Kaph, short form of Kaphiri, African origins.

Why do you want him?: Besides the fact that I think his markings are really cool and remind me of lines in desert sand (and also vaguely of neapolitan ice cream) and besides the fact that bi-colored/striped manes always drive me nuts? Because I can imagine a character for him and thus want to add him to my list of characters. I won't go into detail about personality because that isn't a section and I don't want to try to get a sneaky one-up on the other entrants with something I would consider against the rules of this contest. I do have an African desert story in the works, but it's taken a backseat to other stories (only two, really, but they're long and important to me) and life in general. It's about a guy who becomes stranded in the desert and scrubland and tries to survive and get back to civilization, and he picks up curious animals (such as Oxirie) on the way. I get a kick out of imagining him doing human things the animals don't really understand, as the story so far is written from their point of view.
