I may make revisions to this form later if I find it insufficient. I love this guy!

Gender:
Male
Story/Art:
Yoru was alone. Always alone. Every other JMD he tried to talk to would ignore him. Why does life have to this way? he thought to himself as he wandered through the woods one night. Then he heard it. A laugh. A strange demented laugh, and the sound of footsteps. Two different sets, one fast-paced and accompanied by heavy breathing as if running and one softer and slower accompanied by a strange song.
Let the melody of night,
take you far away.
Drift off on the wings of fright,
and never see the day.
My blade, it lusts for your blood.
an eternal wanting cry.
Soon there's no where left to run
and you'll surely die.
This shook Yoru to the core, and the strangest part was that it was in a different language but he understood each word perfectly. Some part of him told him to go to the source of the song, and he started to walk slowly toward the sound of the singing, and as he got closer, it stopped. It was replaced by a shrill demented laugh that broke the temporary silence. Yoru yelped in fright and it stopped. A human girl, apparently the source of the song and of the laughter approached. Yuro backed up, tail between his legs. "No need to fear." the girl said. "This is a normal occurrence. I'm here to collect rogue souls. Would you like to accompany me?" Yoru looked at the girl terrified by her statement and puzzled that someone could want to be near him. He nodded slowly at the girl and took a step towards her. She placed her weapon, a scythe, on the forest floor and pet him behind his ears. Yoru tensed but then relaxed realizing he could trust this girl. She smiled and stood, "Now come on, we have a soul to catch!" Yoru nodded and followed the girl. The two worked side by side for years, Yoru now felt he had a purpose and the girl become a bit less... scary... around him. The two seemed to balance eachother out. the girl giving him confidence and Yoru giving the girl a reason to be kind.
How Did He Get His 3 scars:
There was a particularly nasty run-in with a rogue soul. This one led Yoru and the girl to a cliff. Fearing what awaited it after the girl caught it, the soul took Yoru hostage and offered the Dragon's safety in exchange for freedom from persecution by the girl and others like her. The girl took a risk and banished the spirit but not before it could leave three parallel scars across Yoru's muzzle. She tended to the wounds but they would scar no matter what she did.
Other:
The girl's name (though not mentioned above) is Kokoro. She works for the "Grim Reaper Organization" responsible for hunting rogue souls and sending them to the afterlife. She raised Yoru. I work with her on occasion and we are close friends.
