What Is a Waelak?
A Waelak ("wa-lahk" with the "a" in "wa" pronounced as "a" in "cat") is a large species of canine (based on evolutionary ancestry, this may be arguable based on physical characteristics) vaguely resembling a fox crossed with a weasel, with antlers and deer-legs. Due to their bio-luminescent eyes and fur, many long-gone natives once believed them to be spirit-guardians who watched over the dead on their way to the next world. All Waelaks have some sort of distinct marking on their tail, which is passed down from parent to offspring. While not yet domesticated, Waelaks can be tamed when raised with humans from a young age...

"We found this odd babe after they swam up onto the shore of a very desolate beach. We have no idea how they even got into the ocean to begin with...do you?"

Username: ShihTzuLady
Name: Trojan
Gender: male
History: Trojan and a dear friend were playing on a beach in a cove, when they noticed the tide dropping. Except that the water wasn't receding gently, as with a normal tide change, it was flowing out as if someone had pulled a drain and all the water in the cove had disappeared down it. For awhile, Trojan and his friend sat and watched this phenomenon in amazement, but very quickly, they noticed all of the newly exposed land, just ripe for exploring. For a few short minutes, the waelaks ran around, poking their noses into holes, chasing stranded fish, and rolling in all the glorious, salty, fishy mud. Then, faintly, they heard a rumble which gradually became a roar. They looked up and out to sea, and saw a huge, black wall. And it was rushing right towards them. Trojan and his friend turned to run, but their speed and agility was no help in the thick mud. The tidal wave caught the two waelaks. Pummeled, tossed, turned, and ground into the ocean bed, they surely were doomed to drown, bUT the air trappend in their fluff coats heloped bring them to themail surface. The wave carried the two friends in shore for a few miles, then just as quickly, retreated again, taking the two waelaks with it. For three days, the waelaks swam, trying to get back to shore. Finally, when the friends were near the end of their endurance, they were washed up on an unfamiliar, deserted beach, where they collapsed, unconscious, just out of reach of wave and tide.

Name:
Vacant
Gender:
Male
History:
Vacant was standing in the sand on the beach, staring over the ocean. He loved to look out over the waters, mostly at sundown or sunset. It was calm. He decided to go for a swim one day, just to see what it would feel like, since he hasn't been in water before. He swam so far out that he got lost, so he decided to try and find his way back, or at least until he found shore.

After a few hours of swimming, he spotted land, deciding to swim towards it. He climbed onto the sandy beach and laid down, looking around for something; anything. Humans came his way, seemingly confused and scared, so he lowered his head, showing that he won't hurt them.
