Just posting to say I've added Aiken's personality for anyone needing it ^^

username ;; rockpelt.
name ;; mur griffin havasupai
gender ;; male

personality ;;
Mur is a fairly meek and quiet child with a big heart and a strong will. He finds more comfort in solitude and silence than around others, but doesn't mind being around his siblings when the time is right. Despite this, he is always the first to offer help to his family if he thinks he can do it, whether it be hanging up a picture frame or trying to fix a bike; he'll give it a go in order to help out. He can be pretty stubborn in situations though, especially if his parents say no to him doing something. Mur is quite curious and wants to understand the world around him, finding extreme joy in asking those around him why something happens, why people do what they do, or why he can't go play with his friends when he has homework to do. He also enjoys seeing how frustrated he can make others when he asks why. Mur can struggle with taking things for himself, especially when those around him say that he's earned it. He much prefers giving the last cookie to one of his siblings than eat it himself, or letting someone else take the praise for something he'd done. This is mainly because he doesn't like conflict, but he also doesn't want anyone to think that he's stuck-up or arrogant.

Similar to his brother Anderson, Mur enjoys writing, but prefers to write scripts to act out in front of his family. He doesn’t tend to get his siblings involved as he doesn’t want to bore them with his tales, but knows that his parents will enjoy whatever he puts on, even if it’s just by himself. He has a particular interest in Shakespeare, even though he doesn’t understand anything that’s happening. He finds the language used fascinating, with all the ‘thou’s and ‘thee’s and so on, but is too scared to include anything like that into his own scripts in fear of using the language incorrectly. In his spare time, he enjoys watching videos explaining Shakespeare’s plays, specifically cartoons targeted at small children such as himself, so that he can better understand what’s going on.

relationships ;;
papa arlo
Mur and Arlo are pretty close, mainly due to Mur following in his father’s footsteps in terms of outdoor activities, especially hiking. He looks up to his father especially when he’s having problems with others at school, targeting Arlo’s occasional grumpiness in making bullies and other mean children go away. The two do tend to butt heads when Arlo gets grumpy, but the child finds comfort in knowing that everyone can disagree at some points in their lives. Mur doesn’t fully understand nor know about Arlo’s childhood in great detail, but he always enjoys listening to any stories that his father wants to tell. Unlike some of his siblings, he doesn’t particularly enjoy pranking his father, though he is the source of majority of Mur’s ‘why?’ questions, and he does take joy in annoying him in this way. (138/200)

mama mittens
Mittens is Mur’s go-to comforter. Her kind nature is something he takes great comfort in being around, and she’s always the one to pick him up when he falls down. He puts a lot of faith into his mother knowing that she’s making the right decisions for him, even when he wants to go play and she says no. He loves spending quiet time with Mittens, and greatly enjoys her guiding him in his school work. Whilst Mur goes to his father for lessons in being more forceful with bullies than he usually is, he gravitates towards his mother in lessons in how to be more compassionate towards others, and how to forgive them when they do something to hurt his feelings. Overall, he could never imagine having someone any less generous and any less kind as his mother. (139/200)

big bro aiken
Mur finds himself looking at Aiken as a role model almost as much as his parents. He greatly admires his brother’s studious nature and love for tribal history, even if he isn’t all too interested in it himself. He sometimes finds himself just sitting with Aiken and attempting to ‘help’ him with his work. Which is fairly annoying, seeing as Mur’s just a small child, but he tries his hardest. He tends to respect Aiken too much to ask too many ‘why’ questions, but instead finds himself asking his older brother about his work more than anything. He has a bad habit of pinching any and all of Aiken’s books to read, even though he doesn’t understand what’s going on most of the time. (124/200)

big bro ace
Mur and Ace don’t get on too well, mainly due to their massive personality clash. The younger child loves his brother very dearly, but doesn’t fully understand why someone would get so much joy out of pranking others. Sometimes he doesn’t even thank that they’re related with how different they are. Mur does enjoy spending time with Ace when he’s not pranking others because he can be good company, but if given the choice he’d probably pick someone else to hang out with. Mur has been the butt of many pranks done by Ace, and he’s generally okay with it until it goes too far. He can become fairly annoyed with Ace’s loud nature due to how quiet he is, but manages, because, after all, they are family. (128/200)

bro anderson
Mur loves Anderson’s worlds and stories: simple. He loves the detail that his brother puts into them, whether it be through playing around with his family or writing it down. He has a great admiration for his brother’s imagination, and loves when Anderson makes him the star of the show. However, similar to Ace, he can become quickly annoyed with his brother’s outgoing nature, which is usually what Anderson wants to happen. The two brothers are very similar in terms of how stubborn they can be, which usually leads to the two of them clashing severely and dramatically. Mur tends to spend time away from Anderson if he can help it, though finds great joy in slipping him his dessert just to see his softer side. (126/200)

sis mirabelle
You’d think that Mur and Mirabelle would get on like a house on fire with how quiet they both are, but it’s really not the case. Mur loves the fact that he can spend time with Mirabelle without feeling the need to be overly social, but as they both enjoy their time alone, they don’t spend time together often. Unlike his sister, Mur feels less like an outcast, and always tries to pull Mirabelle into his games with the rest of the family. He doesn’t always understand how his sister can be so happy playing in the mud, and always seems to tell her to go wash her fur, even though she never listens to him. Mur also loves her obsession with reptiles, as he too loves them, just not to the same extent, and would much rather watch his sister hold them rather than hold them himself. (148/200)

sis avia
Unfortunately, Avia is probably Mur’s least favourite member of the family, though he does love her dearly. He greatly clashes with her ability to get her own way easily, and greatly dislikes it when she throws tantrums to further this. Her big personality can get on his nerves quickly, and he just prefers to avoid it at all costs. He’s not a big fan of her rough and tumble games with their brothers, and would rather sit out and watch, and possibly slap a bandage on whoever was the first to be injured. However, Mur will always defend his sister’s name, especially if anyone at school decides to say something. He knows she’d be able to take on everyone, but truly doesn’t want to see her hurt.

just because I almost forgot,,
I thought I'd remind everyone without an extension,
this ends in like 2 hours ??

[wolf ;;]

whoops i probably should've posted on this sooner and im really sorry for the delay and time this has taken but,,
seeing as walk has been inactive for a few months, I guess I'll have to take over judging, seeing as I was going to help out anyway, and I own several members of the family.
I'll be getting some help on this in order to make the winner fair, and I'll try to post results as soon as I can!!

[happysparrow]

Aw man, I nearly forgot about this kid, haha! <3 Good luck, everyone !! 0: I saw some gorgeous forms !!

[wolf ;;]

ok i have a winner decided!! I'd like to firstly thank both shin and Ethulai for being guest judges and helping out, now I'll write a little something here about each form.

happysparrow - i like the relationships written out with the family, as well as how his personality is described - and milo is such a cute name. although i will say that writing in first person did feel a bit off, but i thought it was unique, and managed to show his personality more when it came to talking about his family. one guest judge did agree with this, and that first perspective helped bring out the character, but i can to agreeing with the other who personally didn't like it all that much.

waterstar - like with the previous form, i liked how well written the relationships were with his family, and the name maxwell just seems to go so well with this kit design wise - as well as fitting with mirabelle's name. however, i feel that his personality was a bit off-putting due to the depression, and while i think that would be a good development for a teen, as a kit i dont know if that fits - although I'll say that yes, i know kids can be diagnosed with it too. I just feel like it doesn't fit, and i wish more could've been written about his personality, although it might've been the time limit that stopped it. the guest judges both felt as if towards the end the form was incomplete, and could've been worked on.

rockpelt - while a generic character, and the fact your form was edited a bit past the end time (if i calculated it right), i felt that mur was really well thought out, the form was complete and the character really fit into the family well. both of the guest judges also felt you had a really nice form, and overall the form was just well written.

so without further wait, the winner is,,
rockpelt.!

ok before anyone starts calling anything biased, i did consider the guest judges opinions to both be before my own in this judging, so i judged this without being biased.
and if anyone says anything about the end time, we do live in a completely different timezone to gmt, and im sure in the end it wouldn't have mattered all that much, seeing as how well written rockpelt's form was.
i hope you take good care of the kiddo friend,, a family very dear to myself.

as for the other two forms, while happysparrow did come close to the win, i cant promise a ru/future kit due to walk being inactive. but for both happysparrow and waterstar, i can do a piece of art for you each if you pm me nvn i know its small, but its there if you want it for the effort you both put in.

[happysparrow]

Congratulations, rockpelt.!! I'm so excited to see how you further develop this cutiepie, and I'm super hyped for you <3

Ah, thank you so much for the lovely compliment !! Since this contest I have definitely gotten better at writing in that first person perspective, and I look forward to taking your advice and using it to further my writing skills <3 This was a fun contest and a fantastic learning curve, and your compliment really made my night !! Thank you so much !! 0:
