Personality
Ochre presents a mild-mannered and soft-spoken exterior, and he is slightly shy around strangers. However, once he gets to know somebody, he warms up and can become more talkative. With his friends, he is easy-going and often jokes around, mostly to diffuse any tension. He is good at reading others, and uses his knowledge to adapt to any social situation.

As a Viscling, Ochre was very shy and constantly worried about his social future. However, he needn't have worried as he was able to make friends easily, although only became close friends with two other Visclings whom he still hangs out with. As he got older, he became more confident although didn't know what path he wanted to take in life. With the help of his friends (and teachers), he decided that being a therapist would be his occupation. While he had heard that it would be a hard job, he believed that he was up to the challenge. As a professional therapist, he has heard his share of happy stories, sad stories, and everything in between. He tries to not let that affect him and stay cheery at all times.

Prompt #1
Ochre is friends with Daisy and Jocasta, two female Viscets. They've known each other every since they were Visclings and went to the same primary school. Jocasta is the unofficial leader of the group and while she can be overbearing at times, Daisy always tries to lighten the mood and Ochre always tries to be the mediator and the "dispenser of common sense," as he likes to call himself.

Story
Ochre glanced around the classroom. He shivered slightly, and wondered briefly why he was even here. He had no friends and didn't know even one person there. As he looked around the room, he saw a tiny brown dragon who was in his feral form and crouching under one of the desks. He also saw a Rainbow Paint Wolf, a colorful male, who was in his anthro form and chatting to the teacher, a feline of some sort. Ochre couldn't tell if she was a domestic cat or a big cat. It didn't matter anyways, as she was his teacher and--for now--bigger than he was.

"Hi!" chirped a voice from behind him.

Ochre jumped and turned around to see a purple-gray and white Viscling about as old as he was. "H-Hi," he stammered. "I'm Ochre." He was worried that he would mess up something and end up with no friends on the first day of school. While his parents had assured him that this wouldn't happen, Ochre hadn't believed them. Not really.

"And I'm Jocasta!" said the other Viscling. She was almost bouncing and was clearly excited for her first day of school. In Spiritstown and most of Europe, it was required for all Fantasticals to go to school up to eighth grade before they were able to make the choice of learning a trade or going into a higher education. Some decided to go feral and leave the system almost entirely, joining one of the many packs, clans, flights, or other groups in the area.

"Where do you live?" asked Ochre, calming down slightly. If there was another Viscling who was excited, school couldn’t be that bad, could it? Maybe he would make a new friend after all.

"In the western part of the forest, away from all those Packs," said Jocasta, sticking her tongue out briefly. "Mamma said that they’re too mean to live around. We have a neighbor--Alona--and she’s much nicer. She takes care of the trees. Daisy, my friend, also goes to this school and she says that it's really fun. We'll do really cool projects and stuff."

"Cool!" exclaimed Ochre. He had never met a feral Fantastical and hadn’t really known what to expect. Jocasta seemed really nice and educated. He blushed and his tail twitched before he spoke. "Hey, uhh, do you want to be friends?"

"Of course!" exclaimed Jocasta. She threw her arms out and hugged Ochre, squeezing him so tightly that he thought his mane would bend permanently. He rocked back slightly, crouching to make sure that he didn't fall over. He smiled suddenly. He had a friend!

Bump! Might extend a bit.

do you know if you'll give an extension? if so, how long will the extension be? if not, what time is this ending on the 20th?
i haven't been able to work on my form as much as i'd like due to school, and i still have a bunch of writing to add. even just a couple day extension would be very helpful ;v;

[DragonCave]

I think I may extend this since I also have school work getting in the way of things c: Anyone who has already posted a form has until the 24th (9pm est) to finish! So no new forms will be accepted after this, but anyone who has one still has time c:

[dzo]

breaks my heart a bit that I had to deal with a whole bunch of drama and thus didn't have enough time last night to make a form for this 'cet. good luck to those competing and congrats to the winner though! <333

[corrosive_limes]

ahh i would've written more if i could've, but i ended up running out of time ;v;
my form can be counted as complete as is, but if given the chance i would add more to it ;v;

good luck to everyone who entered!

[DragonCave]

Meant to close this about an hour ago! I'll try to have this judged by Wednesday c:

[DragonCave]

I'm sorry this took so long! Ahhh oh my god this was hard to so hard to judge ;-;
I managed to narrow it down to corrosive_limes and cyberdragon725, but I must
have spent an hour re-reading the two forms! With a lot of thought, though I've
decided that corrosive_limes is the winner! That being said, I would like to offer
an RU of sorts to you, cyber! If you want you can pick a pairing with any two of my
open viscets or one with one of yours!
(Bastion and Rey have a huge family though so I might have to make a table for that lol)

[corrosive_limes]

ahhh thank you so much! <33 i promise i'll take great care of Tokala <3
