Name:
Lehasvute, which means Camouflage in Hebrew. I chose this name because I looked at this adorable JBD, and the colors reminded me of camouflage. His nickname his Vute, which he prefers to his full name. Pronunciation is - LE + HAS + Vute.

Gender:
Male, even though some of his markings are more girl like, such as the heart on his front paw, I feel that Lehasvute should be a male.

Personality:
Loves to relax, Lehasvute isn't lazy, he just likes relaxing. WIP

Likes:

Dislikes:

Art:

Stories:

Other:
Total WIP, layout and color scheme are finished, but I have to really work on the rest of this form. I know I've added extra parts, but I feel that I need to put stories and art down, otherwise this form just won't seem complete to me.

I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you,
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
Because you're there for me, too. <3

Hello, it's wonderful to meet you!


Apple will speak in italics
I will speak normally.
^u^

I hope you don't mind I made his picture transparent eue


Name:
My name is Apple. It's a simple name, but it fits me so well!

Nickname:
You can also call me Appy, Ap, Apple pie, or fruity loop. Anything’s fine with me!

Gender:
Male.

Personality:

Sensitive:
Appy's very sensitive little guy. It's not hard to hurt his feelings, so you should just be a bit careful about what you say around him. When he's sad, Apple usually goes to lay down and mop for a little while until he feels better. But no worries, a sweet apology will get his mood back up instantly. Because Apple's not one to hold grudges or stay made for long. It's very hard to make Apple dislike you, so you'd have to do something pretty bad to get on his bad side. He's been known to cry quite a bit, but that's okay. Crying's just his way of expression sad emotions. If he's really feeling down, he'll go for a little walk or catch some butterflies.


Caring
Apple was taught, at a young age, to treat people how you want to be treated. He's really does care about everyone!
Ap's the type of creature you can come to on a sad day. He'll be there to supply you with hugs, love and advice. Or he'll glady just sit and listen if you want to vent your frustrations. He does his best to show love and support to everybody, because he knows how important it is to feel loved and wanted. Your feelings are always taken into consideration with him. He'll respect your opinions on anything; religion, sexuality, politics, ect, because it's not his right to bug you on what you believe.

Cheerful
Everything's better when people are happy!
Haha, yep!
Apple's a cheerful little guy. He'll always be found with a smile on his face. Life is fun to him, and he can find joy in almost anything. He's very optimistic, and always looks on the bright side of things, no matter how dreary or hopeless they may seem.
He can instantly cheer you up with his upbeat, friendly attitude and happy personality. He's big on celebrating all occasions. Because parties make people happy, right?
He's a really excitable guy. He's always bouncing or cheering!

Loving
Apple's a big cuddle bug. He LOVES hugs and cuddles, and has been known to give random tackle-hugs. So you better watch out!
Haha, just kidding. But really, when he's super happy, which is most of the time, he'll glomp the closest person.
He treats all creatures with love and respect, and handles things very gently and carefully. He puts extra love in all he does, so everything is special. <3

Back in Time; Apple's History:
Apple’s history is a fairly simple one, really. Born into a family of JBDs, he was raised by his parents for a while, until he was ready to be adopted. He had a happy childhood, spending his days eating fruit or playing in the grass, and lived carefree most of the time. When the time came, he was taken and put up for adoption. He was a bit sad to leave his family, but he knew he’d find a new person to take care and love him soon. He waited eagerly for days, hoping to get adopted soon so he could start his new life with his person.
One day, a girl met him. She was short, with blonde hair and hazle green eyes, and her name was Kar. She’d heard of this species, JBD’s, and wanted one for her own.
She spent a while looking through the available JBDs, but none really stood out to her, caught her heart. She was ready to go home, sad because she didn’t find the JBD meant for her. When she was almost out the door, she heard a squeak. It was coming from a small, cheerful looking male she hadn’t yet seen.
When she saw him, it was pure love. She went up to him and began to pet his fur. He made a noise of joy, because he knew in his heart this was the person that was going to take him home. She spent a few minutes playing with him, getting to know his personality, and she decided yes, this one the most perfect JBD she could ever ask for. She filled out his adoption information and took him home. Once home, she lovingly named the little guy ‘Apple’ after her favorite fruit. And his beautiful colours and design reminded her of an apple, so the name was perfect.
And from then on, they spent their days inseparable, spending all their time together as the best of friends. It didn’t matter if it was just something simple like watching late night TV or making breakfast, every moment together was fun and special.
The end.
<3









Short stories:

Apple go to the Amusement Park.

It was a bright, blue, sunny day. Apple awoke early that morning. He was so excited, he could hardly wait! Him and his owner were taking a trip to the Amusement park in just two hours!
He hopped up from his sleeping spot and bounced around a little bit, waiting for Kar to come. (Kar is me, by the way xD)
When she came, he ran to give her a big cuddle-hug.
"Haha, somebody's excited!" she said with a smile, wrapping her arms around him and nuzzling her face into his fur.
Apple nodded happily as he walked in little circles. He's never been to an amusement park before, but from what Kar described it was great fun! He couldn't want to see all the bright colours, toys, and most especially the cheery, happy faces he knew he'd see.The two hour wait seemed to take forever. Kar and Apple spent time rolling in the grass, looking at the sky, and eating fruit while they waited.
Finally, the wait was over.
"C'mon, Ap! It's time to go!" Kar shouted. His face perked up as Kar got up from where she was sitting on the grass and slipped on her coat. Apple stuck his head under her hand, and together they walked on their way to the amusement park grounds.
Apple's mouth fell open slightly with awe. He could hear shouts, laughing and giggles. He saw giant rides poking up from behind the ticket building. He closed his eyes and made a small noise of joy, and kar giggles and scratched his head softly.
"Hey, I'll take one ticket" Kar said to the ticket man. He happily slipped a bright red ticket under the glass.
"Ready for fun?" She said excitedly, bouncing a bit herself.
Apple nodded again, a huge smile on his green face.
Together, they walked through the gates.
"Let's eat first" Kar said, walking up to a brightly coloured booth.
"Hi, I'll have one hotdog for me, and A...." she glanced at Apple, and he dipped his head with a smile. "And a small fruit salad"
Apple shook his tail, letting her know she had picked a good food choice.
After the man gave them their food, her and Apple walked to a bench. Apple hopped up on the bench and sat.
Kar laughed. She bet people weren't used to seeing big, furry, green creatures sitting on benches.
She set his bowl of fruit next to him, and they dug in immediately, wanting to quickly finish to get to the rides.
They knew today was going to be a fun, amazing day for both of them!
End~

(I wanted to write much more, but I wanna keep them short so I can put more in without boring you c:)





Apple's birthday
*This one's a bit longer*

"What's falling on me?" Apple though tiredly. He could feel something that felt like little papers falling down on his head!
He opened his eyes and saw his owner, Kar, standing above him. He let out a surprised shriek.
"Oops, sorry I scared you" she said, but she was still smiling. In her hand, she held a mound of confetti.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" she shouted, throwing the remaining confetti in the air. Apple jumped up with a big smile. He tackle-hugged her and she began to laugh.
"Okay, okay" she said, rolling out from under him.
"I got a lot of stuff planned! We'll start of the morning by making pancakes together!"
Ap made a noise of happiness and followed her into her kitchen. There, they got out the ingredients and materials.
"Here, Ap, pour the mix" she said, setting the bag on the chair. He picked it up with his teeth, tipped his head, and watches the the dry pancake mix poured in the blue bowl.
"Awesome!" she said, swooping her hand down to pick up the bowl.
"Get me some blueberries?" she asked. Apple nodded and went to the already opened fridge. He reached in his head and softly bumped the top shelf of the fridge with his head until the pack of blueberries settled slid off and set themselves on his horns.
He walked to Kar, and she took the blueberries off and added them to the now wet batter.
Apple fetched the rest of the fruit, in which Kar added to the batter. 20 minutes later, a nice, big stack of fruit pancakes were set on the table. After they ate, Kar and Apple went outside for some playtime. They rolled in the grass, chased butterflies, played in the creek and enjoyed the afternoon together. When the sun started going down, Kar got Apple's presents out.
Three lovingly wrapped boxes sat in the grass. Apple wasted no time getting them open.
In the first box, a set of mini paints set so Apple and Kar could paint together. In the second, a green heart necklace for Apple to wear, and in the third, a letter.

Dear Apple,
Hi! I hope you've had a great birthday so far, buddy. Anouther year older!
I know I'm always telling you how much I love you, but I'm going to do it again.
I love you, Apple.You're the best JBD a girl could ever ask for. You're the sweetest, most caring person I know, and my best friend.
Thanks for always being there for me. <3
Love, Kar."


Apple's eyes filled with tears and he get her yet anouther big tackle hug.
Kar laughed and hugged him back. They watched the sun go down as they sat on the hill.

"Happy birthday, Ap."

Apple attempts to bake
Last story! <3

“Hmm… Kar’s not awake and I’m hungry.” Apple thought sadly, wandering around Kar’s kitchen. His person had been awake all night studying, causing her to sleep in late this morning.
Ap’s tummy made an angry, grumble noise. He sighed and looked around, licking his lips.
Suddenly, he had an idea! He scurried to the fridge and opened it with his horns, bending his head skillfully like he’s done many times before helping Kar cook.
Inside, he found a container of fresh fruits. Kiwis, sliced apples, grapes and pears sat inside the plastic.
Apple did a little happy dance and used his horns once again to help get the container out. He set it on the chair that sat at his height level.
He got the rest of his needed supplies out: A bowl, a spoon, cake mix.
He poured the mix into the bowl carefully, picked up the spoon between his teeth, and stirred it with the wet ingredients. He then poured the fruit into the batter and smiled with satisfaction. Who says JBD’s can’t be amazing cooks?

He was feeling good until it was time to put it in the oven. Kar and him had watched a video on kitchen safety, and little ones using the oven, the video said, was a big No-no.
He hesitated. Should he wait for Kar to wake up?
But he was so hungry! And he wanted Kar to be proud of him baking a cake all by himself.
So he decided to give it a try.
He walked up to the oven, hoped upon the stool Kar left in the kitchen, and stared at the buttons. Lots of different options! Bake, heat, time, and all those numbers…what did they mean? He remembered Kar used to talk to herself while she baked, going over the steps.
“First we preheat the oven….” He repeated, remembering the first step Kar said.
He nudged the dial with his nose, setting it to the correct pre-heat temptature.
“Then we wait for a few minutes…”
He sat for a few minutes, looking at his batter. He gave it a few more loving stirs, mixing the bumps out. A few minutes later, he went to the next step.
“Then we put the bowl in the oven….”
And so he did. He carefully set the batter in the middle of the oven, top rack.
“And then we bake it for… for…” He slumped down on the stool. He couldn’t remember how long Kar said to bake a cake! He’s gotten so far, he couldn’t give up now! He wanted it to be baked before Kar woke up.
So he decided 30 minutes should be enough. He left the cake to bake and went to the living room to watch cartoons.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Apple looked behind him. The oven was beeping!
“Cake must be done!” he said cheerfully, rushing to the kitchen.
He went up to the stool and slowly opened the oven. He couldn’t wait to see the tasty looking cake. Kar was going to be so proud of him!
But once he saw the cake, his mouth fell slightly open.
It was a big, semi-burned, sloppy mess.
“Oh no!” he cried, turning off the oven. His yummy cake was ruined!
He stuck one of his horns through the hole in the handle of the bowl, and pulled it out. With a shake of his head, the bowl flew onto the table.
“Apple, what’s that sme-“
Apple froze. Kar was awake.
“Uh...” she said, staring at the mess and the goopy, burnt mixture.
“Ap,” she said, her voice falling to a gentle tone. “Did you try to bake without me?”
Apple stared at the ground, little tears forming in his brown eyes.
“Oh, boy, don’t cry.” She said, going up to him. She pulled him into a big hug.
“I really appreciate you trying,” she began, “but cooking on your own can be dangerous… and messy” she said, pointing to the flour that had fallen all over the floor.
Apple gave a silent nod.
“Here, tell you what. Help me clean up, and we’ll go out to Sharis to get a fruit breakfast.” Kar said with a smile.
Apple’s head perked up, and he nodded once more, but this time it was happy.
Kar giggled and picked up a rag, and together they began to clean up the kitchen.







Art / Poetry:

Edit: Hmm, good art is not happening right now xD
I'll do some other art-y stuff like poems or collages to make up for it. I hope that's fine c:


Fruit! Fruit! It’s so delicious
Fruit! Fruit! And it’s nutritious
Fruit! Fruit! Is what I like to eat,
Fruit! Fruit! What a wonderful treat
-Kar

A - Always cheerful
P - perfect in every way
P – Perfectly adorable
L – Loving towards everyone
E – Exactly the JBD I was searching for. <3


A collage of apple pictures:
(Apple loves all these apples xD)
Click me



Why I want him / What I'll do with and for him:

When I first saw this boy, I instantly knew I wanted him to be mine.
He's simply beautiful. His design is really cute I adore the markings he has, and I love the color choices! This little guy is so perfectly made.

Green is one of my all-time favorite colours, so all the gorgeous green shades he has is perfect.
When I look at him, all I feel is love. I can see his personality in his eyes.

His caring, loving ways just seems to fit this little guy so well. I'd really love to draw and order art of him. He deserves all the art he can get!

I assure you my gallery will be full of art of this guy.
I'll write lots of stories with him, too! He's given me much inspiration for writing. I'll write all about his adventures, his daily life, ect. And I'll post them here for you to read, if you'd like!
He's just the most adorable thing ever.

I've always, always wanted my own JBD, but I had yet to find one I had really connected with, really fell in love with. But when I saw Apple, I knew he was the one.
The perfect JBD for me, the one I've been waiting for, the one I'd put all my love and effort into having the chance to call him my own.

I assure you, if I were to win this little guy, he'd be treated with love, care,
and you'll be seeing his face quite a lot around the Editable and sketches Oekaki board!
When I see Apple, I can't help but smile. c:

;;

Apple here will be used in art, mostly, and in stories/poems.
I'll possibly RP him if the right one comes along. (I believe I saw a JBD roleplay somewhere, that’d be cool to be in!)

I'm sure I'll lose most of my pets spoiling this little guy with art I order, haha.
But it’ll be worth it for sure! I don’t mind spending for Apple.

And of course, I'll draw him, too! Like I said, I hope the oekaki boards will be okay seeing his face all over them all the time cx

You might not see too much art of him draw by me on the Oekaki boards or on my DA at first, because I recently misplaced my tablet pen. (This is why I’m a little worried about my ‘art’ portion of the form. There’s so many talented artists applying for him, and my art skills without my tablet aren’t great. But, hopefully, I can make up for my not-so-great digital art with my writing. <3)

I'll post all of my stories in the writing board for you guys to read.
The stories will be about anything, really. His adventures, his birthdays, playdates with his JBD friends, or just any random little tidbits I want to write about him.
I'll be giving him a large dose of daily hugs and loves so he always feels important and loved, because he is.

I'll keep him happy and well taken care of, I assure you. Once I find my tablet, I'm sure I'll be spending free time drawing his face all over. I’m even planning on making him his own Tumblr account, just for fun. I thought that’d be a funny little thing to do. c:
(Of course, only if I’m allowed to make one! I’ll get permission before doing so. Not to worry, if I’m allowed, it’ll be a password-locked account so it’ll only be visible to me and any other JBD owners that want to see it, to ensure the species stays safe from art theft and such)

And since I love to colour, I'll colour in some of the editable's I've seen for JBD owners. I’m sure drawing him will be one of the biggest uses and most fun thing I’ll be able to do with him, which is why I’m mentioning it so much xD

I’ll probably make him his very own thread so he’ll be specially separated from my other characters, where he and all of his art can be displayed with love and pride for all to see. <3
He'll have a very special place in my heart, and he'll always be my little JBD baby ;3;









Can I talk for a little? I think it'd be nice to answer some questions! Let them get to know me better.
Of course you can! I made a list of questions for you to answer. It's a long, long list, mind you!

Ready for some deeper questions?
You bet!

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
Hmm, I'm not sure, really! Young, though. I like being young. Life is generally carefree and happy.

Which is worse, failing or never trying?
Oh, never trying for sure. Because when you try, you're taking chances. And life's about taking chances, because you never know when you'll find something amazing from the chances you take.

What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?
All the mean people. I wish they'd go away, so the world can be full of love and happiness. I don't like mean people. :c

Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?
This is sure a tough question! I guess I'm more worried about doing the right things. Because doing the right things is good and nice.

Would you break the law to save a loved one?
I- it depends on what the law is...but I'd really like to think I'd do anything for the ones I love....

How come the things that make you happy don’t make everyone happy?
I don't know, but I wish they did. If the things that made me happy made everyone happy, the world would be a better place! c:

Why are you, you?
I think of this a lot. I think I'm me, because well, I need to be. I'm the one people can always depend on for love and support. Who knows how many lives I've saved, how many people's days I've made better? Without me being me, I wouldn't have been able to make the people I have made happy, well, happy.

Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?
I think I'm a good friend, so sure c:

Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you?
The second one. Even when friends move away you can still have a special connection, and losing touch with a friend close by hurts.

What are you most grateful for?
My wonderful, wonderful friends. I love you all, especially .Karkat! You make me really happy c:

Would you rather lose all of your old memories, or never be able to make new ones?
vnv I don't know....

Why're you so adorable? :3
Heehee, I dunno eue

Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?
I don't like sour cream. Eeew ene

If all those psychics know the winning lottery numbers, why are they still working?
Haha, that's funny cx

These questions are silly~
Okay, back to the serious ones!

Who has been the kindest to you in your life?
You, best friend. <3

what’s the most important lessons you’ve learned in life?
To always take chances, and treat people how you want to be treated.

How would you like to be remembered?
As someone who worked to make the world a better place, one hug at a time.

Okay! That's all of the questions for now, Apple.
Aww, okay. I like answering questions, it's fun!

Other:
Thanks for reading my form! It's still a W.I.P, and most likely will stay this way until the day of judging, I want to put as much effort into it has possible <3

:shock: :o Oh my goodness! He is utterly stunning! I am SO trying out for him!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Could I ask, what are the Hex Codes for this Beautiful Boy? :D


~ * ~ Form ~ * ~



Image

Name: Turtadile (Turtle, and Crocodile)

Nickname: Turty, Dill

Gender: Male


Personality: Turtadile is a quiet, lovable boy. He has a very placid temperament, and hardly ever snaps. He is slow when talking, and thinks a lot. He has a nasty streak, which rarely shows except for when he is VERY annoyed. He has a tendency to take forever when doing things, thus getting him into heaps of trouble. He loves reading, and curling up by the fire-place in his home. He is great with children, and you can trust him to defend your child's life with all his heart. He is a deep thinker, and sleeps lightly.

Favourite Music Genre: Country

Favourite Toy: A colourful green frog called Frank

Favourite Food: Limes, Kiwis, and Lemon Sorbet.

Favourite Pass-time: Reading, Sleeping, and taking walks

Favourite Animals: Frogs, Turtles and Crocodiles

Favourite Tree: Norman Furs. Especially the big, round, fat ones.

Favourite Place in the World: His home.

What I like most about him: I love his colours. They remind me of a tortoise/turtle. :D

What would I do with him? : I would draw him, and RP as him all the time. :D

Story: It was 8:00AM. The family had just had breakfast. Turtadile lay on the huge sheepskin fleece by the fire-place, enjoying a good book. He made a deep rumbling noise in his throat, a bit like the purr of a Rolls Royce Engine. His humans sat around on the sofa, and in big arm-chairs, watching the television. The children were sitting on the couch, playing quietly with Action Men and Barbies. There were three children. Two girls, and a little boy, named Sarah, Natalie, and Joseph.

They loved Turtadile. They played with him, groomed him, fed him, took him with them when they went out for walks in the fields surrounding their cottage, and let him sleep with them. Turtadile, in return, loved them back. The two adults, named Rachel and John, were sitting in the two armchairs at opposite ends of the couch, watching the news and chatting quietly. Turtadile loved them too, and they loved him also. All in all, they were a big, happy family. Turtadile yawned, showing his teeth. He put the bookmark in his book and sat up.

"Shall we go for a walk?" Rachel suggested brightly.

"YES!" The children exclaimed, throwing down their toys and leaping off the sofa.

"Come on, Turtadile!" Joseph called, running over to the young JBD and flinging his arms round his neck, squeezing gently. "We boys need to stick together! Let's go get ready!"

Turtadile jumped up and followed Joe, Sarah, and Natalie out of the living room and upstairs. He hurried into each room in a circuit, chirping loudly. "Let's go! Let's go!"

Rachel and John came past to their bedroom to get dressed in the right kit.

Eventually everyone was ready. "Dill?" Natalie asked, the youngest of the three children. "Have you got your bandanna on? You need to keep warm!" She scurried to the scarf drawer and pulled out a lovely red bandanna, patterned with birds, flowers, and tropical leaves. She wrapped it round the beloved Jellybean Dragon's neck and tied it, not too tightly.

Turtadile nodded. "I do now!"

Natalie giggled. "Do you understand me?" She asked him. She had a great imagination, and believed that animals could talk, and that humans couldn't understand them. That was true. "of course you can!" She hugged him. "You're the most smartest boy in the world!"

Turtadile blushed. "No I'm not..." He mumbled bashfully.

"Come on, darling!" Rachel said, hurrying Natalie out of the door. Turtadile bounded after them.

They walked down the lane, passing their usual walk spot.

"Your mother and I found a new place to go walking." John explained, when the children and Turtadile looked confused and crestfallen as they past the big old gate.

"Where?!" Joe asked.

"You'll see!" John chuckled.

They walked on for a while, before coming to a small path into the woods. They went down it.

The early morning sun shone through the beech leaves, dappling the path in light and shade. Turtadile jumped from shadow to shadow, dodging the sun-rays with practiced grace. Natalie, Sarah and Joe followed their beloved pet, laughing merrily. Rachel and John walked behind, watching their children.

Eventually they came out of the trees into a large clearing. There was a path leading down to a sparkling river. Turtadile let out a squeak of delight and hurtled down the bank, leaping into the water.

Natalie, Sarah, and Joseph scurried down to the water's edge, squealing at Turtadile's antics. The little Jellybean Dragon was splashing about, trying to catch fish in his jaws. He stopped, panting. He peered down into the water in silence. Suddenly his head snapped down and he grabbed something large and silver in his mouth. He staggered back a little, struggling under the weight of a large pike. The fish fell still as stone, and Turtadile turned back to the humans.

"Wow!" John looked stunned. "How'd you manage to catch that?!" He asked.

Turtadile shrugged. Suddenly the pike began to wriggle violently, shaking the poor Jelly Bean Dragon like a leaf. The children began to kill themselves with laughter. Turtadile let go of the pike abruptly, and it swam away hurriedly. Joseph was rolling on the floor, and Sarah was leaning on Natalie, in fits of hysterics. John and Rachel were chuckling loudly.

Turtadile looked hurt. "That's not funny!" He exclaimed. "It hurt!. . . A little..." He tilted his white and green head. "I suppose it probably did look... Kinda funny..." He began to giggle at the thought of himself wriggling about, a big fish in his mouth.

Re: JBD #147

Postby foxes. » Thu Apr 19, 2012 4:26 am

Name: δάσος (or Thasos, Greek for 'Forest', I believe) Pronounced Tha-Sose, I think.

Gender Male

Personality: Thasos is a quiet one, he likes to sit and observe things. Heck, if he wanted to, he could sit and stare at a daisy for hours. But he's dearly loyal to his human, and always tries to keep them in good spirits. On rare occasions, he can be seen happily singing to himself, which is his way of expressing himself. On sunny days, he enjoys curling up on a particular stump, and just gazing at the world around him. He doesn't talk much, but Thasos is gentle. He has the utmost respect for nature, and every morning he goes out and makes sure all the plants and animals are in check.

Why I Want Him <3: Personally, I love his color scheme. The greens go so well together, his design not too boring, so it keeps you interested, but simple enough, so you don't get overwhelmed. And his eyes compliment the green quite well, in my opinion. Once I saw him, I had his personality already, I had to try out for him. A quiet, loyal personality seemed to fit him so well, and the fact he just randomly loves cherry pie keeps him interesting (at least I hope ^^) I would love a character that I can go to when something goes wrong around my house. His face may pop up a lot on the Sketches and Experiments part of the Oekaki occasionally, but I'm rather hopeless in that skill :3. Though there are many forms out there that are better than this one, I think I have an, okay chance at winning this guy.

Likes: Nature, Summer mornings, The occasional solitude, The color of indigo, Knowledge, His human, Kind JBDs, And ... cherry pie <3.

Dislikes: Being indoors too much, Hummus, Forest fires, Hippos D: Mean people, Hard pillows.

Fav. Food:Cherry pie, of course~

Fav. Animal: The blue jays, and their songs in the morning.

Fav. Activity: Just... observing things. Or sleeping.

What I Will Do With Him: I will huggle him every day to make sure he feels loved. I will write many stories about him and his adventures, maybe even attempt to draw some fan art of him, maybe RP with him. Thasos will be loved for and cared for, and given plenty of cherry pie. I will always, provide him with a shoulder to lean on, whenever he needs it. I'll try to post some of my stories of him, though most stories I write tend to end up very lengthy. But I'll try. He will be taken care of, and If I can fix my scanner, I'll post some traditional art (I'm better at traditional art ;3) of him and his friends. But, even if I don't win, he'll still have a tiny piece of my heart.

Story: Thasos Discovers Cherry Pie
(Hope that's short enough, I cut out some things.)

Thasos awoke to a fine summer day, light streaming in from the opened windows. He heard his human, Pepperjack, humming softly to herself, probably reading one of the many books she owned. The green JBD got up from his pillow and approached Pepperjack, lifting his head to see her face.
"Hello there, sleeping beauty." she greeted him, smiling as she put her book down. Thasos waved his tail indignantly but allowed himself a smile. The sun was shining brightly onto his humans dark brown hair, turning it a pretty shade of red-brown.
"Why don't you go outside? It's very nice out, and I know you don't like being stuck indoors during nice days." His human got up and opened the door, and he bounded outside. Pepperjack retrieved her book and settled on a soft patch of grass, in the shade of a maple.
They spent a good chunk of time outside, then headed in. They had lunch, some salad and grapes, nothing special.
Then Pepperjack went out to get some stuff from the store. No big deal, she had left him at home before. He just settled in his pillow and slept until she came back. She arrived bearing some red things, probably cherries, and some pastry thing. She winked at him, and got some things out of the fridge. Thasos jumped onto a shelf to look at what she was concocting.
His human combined an egg and a small bit of water, while she placed a piece of the pastry/pie crust in a glass pan. When the egg-water combination was done, she brushed it onto the pie crust. Then she looked up at Thasos. "Could you get the sugar?" she asked, pointing at it with her head.
Thasos jumped off and retrieved the sugar. But it was heavy. He dropped it and, sadly, it was powdered sugar. It billowed up, like a mushroom cloud. Now both of them were as white as a ghost, then Pepperjack started laughing again. Thasos shook himself and handed the remaining sugar to Pepperjack, who put it to the side. She put the glass pan in the fridge, while she pressed some buttons on the oven.
Then she took out some cherries, salt, some sugar and some other liquid. She stirred it and then let it sit. So he waited, watching loyally over it. Then Pepperjack returned, and beckoned him to come down. "Let's spoon it in, shall we?" she said, getting the prepared pastry/pie crust out.
She handed him a spoon and they both spooned the mixture in, each getting some on themselves. He flicked his spoon and a big glob of the red mixture landed on her. She looked accusingly at him and wiped it off. When they were done, they both dotted it with butter cubes. Then she rolled out the top crust, cutting little notches in the top and sprinkled some powdered sugar on. Then she put it in the oven.
It baked for twenty minutes. It smelled delicious, it was all he could do to not just devour it right there as it was cooling. But he waited patiently. Finally, his human came out with a cake-cutter and cut the pie into eights. She gave one to Thasos and one to herself. Then, he took his first bite.
Now, he had tasted his fair share of good food. But he was not expecting this. It was pleasantly warm, and the sweet, yet slightly tart cherries, that were submerged in this gooey, wonderful red... goo. And the crust was just right, slightly sweet, but it didn't overwhelm the taste of cherry. The rest of the pie was history. "What... what was that amazing delicacy?" he asked, but he felt he already knew.
"Why, home-made cherry pie! I'm guessing you liked it." she said, staring at the plate. And he did like it. He loved it.

History:
Well, as far as Thasos is concerned, his mother is Pepperjack. And since he doesn't hang around other JBD's much, there's no one to tell him otherwise. In face, Thasos did have a mother, who would have loved him dearly.
His mother, sick and unable to care for a child, had to give up his egg. His mother wanted to choose his human herself, as she trusted her human with her life, she wasn't sure her human would chose the right home for her egg. So she sneaked (snuck?) out.
She wandered around the houses and such, peering into the windows, hoping to find a suitable home for her egg. But none had provided one, so far. Then she came across a modest house, painted a sort of red-brown.
She looked through the glass door, hoping this house was the one. And it was. It had a warm fireplace going, windows shutters were open, and some cozy-looking pillows. She took the fragile, jellybean shaped egg out of the pouch and set it down in front of the door. Thasos's mother quietly tapped the glass with her horns, and made her way back to her house.
Pepperjack, in the middle of a fascinating story about narwhals, heard the tapping. It was faint, but she heard it. Pepperjack got up and put her book down, and checked the front door. No one. So she checked the back door, where usually no one but her entered from. Again, there was no one. But there was an egg. A small, jellybean-shaped, green... thing. She picked it up and felt it. It sure felt like a shell.
"Maybe I should keep you." She said, placing it under a lamp. So, after a few days, nothing happened. Yeah, a few cracks appeared, nothing major. Then, one morning, while she was doing a bit of studying on Greek language and mythology, she heard a crack. It came from the jellybean-like egg she found.
Pepperjack got up and ran over to the makeshift nest she had made. Sitting in the remains of the shell, was a small, cat-sized, furry creature. She had heard about them before, and she almost facepalmed herself for not recognizing the jellybean-shaped egg. It was just plain green, no markings yet.
But the markings would appear. She had read about them before. 'What were they called?' she asked herself. Jellybean something-or-other. It looked at her with bright, intelligent eyes. After about a week, his fur started changing. It got interesting markings, it grew slightly bigger, and more observant.
By this time, Pepperjack had discovered they were called Jellybean Dragons. But it still needed a name. She went through names that reminded her of green. But nothing stuck. 'Leaf? No. Grass? No. Pine? No.' Frustrated, she sat down on her desk, her hand hitting it harder than she meant to. Her notes on the Greek language fell off. She sighed and went to retrieve it.
But, a word caught her eye: δάσος, Thasos: Forest.
She laughed. It was perfect. She glanced at the fluffy creature, sleeping on a pillow. "Thasos." she experimented. It did fit. As Thasos grew up, she had found perfect opportunities to tell him she wasn't his mother. But she didn't have the heart to wreck his happy world.


Art: Note: Expect all art from me to be pixel art <3.

By me, done in Paint with a mouse. Sorry it's so small :3

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay stong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

I just wanted to say, I agree with Tabby. Some of you have a fluro green and I can't read the text, because I like reading them to see the others that are trying out. Not to be mean or anything >.<

Your weren't being rude, trust me a lot of people have the same opinion I say ^u^.
Also, Headers are fine in a mild colour but nothing too neon. If it is kept I will probably remove it from your score (Personal System).

@Ivara: Thought I'd tell you your colours are readable for me. No change to colour is needed unless you want to ^u^
