"What's your name?"
"I haven't had one for many years. I can't remember anymore."
"Then I'll name you Ghosty."
"No."
"No fair! Um, Alastor."
"Well, that's hardly fair. You can't name me, unless I get to name you."
"That's the thing. I..I don't have one."
"Then we'll have to fix that! You could be Leopold."

Leopold ----- Alastor

"Leopold? It sounds awesome! But, what kind of a name is that?"
"It's a name for a brave dog. You are a dog, right?
"No! I'm an adventurer."
"But what species?"
"Er..What are you?"
"Don't think I don't notice your subject change. I am the past."

Unknown Species ----- Ancient Hybrid

Well, I hope you liked my little intro. It's a snippet of their first conversation c:
Hello! My name is Areater, and I am pleased to be writing this post right now.
When I first saw these two, I was hooked. The skeletal wings were so well done, and the brave creature who bore them stole my heart. When I read the character background, I was even more hooked. I could just imagine the skeletal head snapping at him to be careful with his wings and not to break them, but at the same time say it with care and compassion, although he tries to hide it. They could be the best of buddies!
I would have paid to make them mine, but when I saw they were a form competition, I was thrilled. I love to make forms, and I am so excited to compete for this gorgeous character - characters, rather.
I hope you deem my form worthy, and I wish good luck to everyone else!

Names
I wanted to name the blue creature after bravery, because although he can be a bit shy he will dive into a challenge without hesitation. Looking through names, I found Leopold - a noble name that still could be shortened into Leo, a cute, quirky nickname. I decided that Alastor could have remembered the name from his past, although not remember who exactly it belonged to.
For the skeletal beast, I looked for a creepier sounding name. Although he is a smart, civilized - although sometimes cranky - creature, he's still a skeleton. Naturally, if Leopold was to give him a name, the first thing that would come to mind would be a creepier sounding name, considering the fact that he knows very little about him at the time. And Alastor fit that criteria.

Genders
Alastor and Leopold are both males. At first I debated making Alastor a female because I liked the name Pandora, but I just couldn't see him as a girl, so I found a name I liked almost as much.

Species
Alastor is part of an ancient race of bird-wolves called Aviawolves that had wolf anatomy but hollow bones, wings, odd tropical bird-like colors, and somewhat flat skulls. They had smaller, humanoid heads around their main one that didn't have minds of their own and couldn't control the body unless the main head was out of commission, but are still part of the Aviawolf, and it could be fatal if one was cut off. They could be spoken through, but it takes a lot of effort from the main head. He is now a skeletal, partially formed version of this once great race, cursed to roam forever for angering a mighty warlock.
Leopold is mostly a dog, with Aviawolf far back in his bloodline (far enough back that it mostly only shows through his colors) and a face that suggests another possible mix in his species. He doesn't know what he is, as he was abandoned as a pup and doesn't remember his parents.

Personalities
Leopold is a brave, but also somewhat timid creature. He likes to rush into things headfirst and go on adventures with his best friend, Alastor, but can become somewhat shy when talking to people who aren't part of his adventures. He's very sweet and cannot bear to see anybody in pain, although he always claims he'd rip a monster in half if he ever met one. Although he loves having friends, he hasn't met anybody he loves more than Alastor. He's a bit of a troublemaker, too, and likes to play harmless pranks on others.
Alastor is civilized, smart, and easily offended. He is also very protective over Leopold and can put up with his childish antics. But, if people automatically view him as "creepy" or tell Leopold he needs to stop wearing him, he can get pretty upset. When upset, his eyes flare up and the ghostly fire becomes stronger.

Meeting Up
A brave little pup stuck his head out of a hollow tree trunk, his whole body quivering with excitement. He was off to find the magical jewel! "Don't come back until you find it!" A vulture squawked, holding back it's laughter. She wouldn't have to deal with the obnoxious pup anymore, once he dedicated himself to finding a nonexistent jewel. Of course, the pup didn't know that. I'm going to save the world! Keeping his eyes open for any flash of color, he began to speed through the forest, yapping and everything that passed and sticking his head in every possible hiding place.
"Hey! Give me back my tail!"
The little pup stiffened, looking around. The voice had sounded strangely ghostly, in an accent he had never heard of before. Pressing himself to the ground, he began to waddle forward, being as stealthy as he could. When he spotted the glowing pile of bones, he shot up and raced towards it. So much for being sneaky. "The jewel has to be here!" When the skeleton shifted it's head, he growled in what he though was a ferocious manner. To everybody else, it was a high-pitched yap. "Give up your treasure, mighty beast!" he yapped. An ancient laugh rattled from the skull. "I like the sound of that. 'Mighty Beast.' If only. Now, come on, help me up. Ever since those retched vultures stole my legs I've been unable to move." The pup stared at him. "So, you don't have the jewel?" He reached his paw out to touch the glowy stuff coming out of the skull's eyesocket, but quickly yanked it back when he realized it was hot to the touch.
"Of course I don't have any jewels. Now, hurry up. I want to walk again."
The blue-and-white ball of fluff blinked. "How can I do that?"
That stumped the skeletal pile of bones for a moment. Then, the skeleton had an idea. "A brave little pup like you needs armor to protect him from the dangers he will face, doesn't he? And wings to help him fly to new adventures." This had the pup's attention. "Armor! Wings!" he yapped excitedly, running in circles. "Where?"
"Right here." The skeleton shook himself lightly to get his attention. The tiny pup, awestruck at the idea, began to arrange the skeleton on his furry little body. He rattled a bit when the tiny pup moved, because he was so much larger, but this didn't bother the pup one bit. "Adventure!" he cried out happily, starting the oddest friendship there will ever be.

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

I heard these noises a thousand times before this fateful encounter, and had nearly given up gaining the attention of whatever creature placed its paws upon the stones my bottled up soul had been left at. However, this day, I felt compelled to call out knowing this would not lead to anything. Perhaps I simply wished to see if I still remembered how to speak.

"You. Hey You. Yes you my dear buffoon, come here. I'll grant you anything you'd like! Come now! Come one, come all!" I said these words mockingly, and did not expect to hear the distorted wheezing that I did followed by more footsteps, walking toward my direction.

My desperation came about quickly, and hope took a hold of my actions as I yelled relentlessly, "Are you really coming here?! Toward me? Please please come here! I won't hurt you I swear! Just open the bottle! I'm like a genie! I'l grant you a wish, anything you want! Just pLEASE LET ME OUT OF HERE!"

The footsteps continued, though I got no reply to my calls. I looked through the glass of my bottle, to find a strange little critter making his way toward me. I was not easy to find, if you weren't aware of my presence. It was a curse, me being in this bottle. Do you know what happens to "messages" left in bottles that are never found? Those have expiration dates, and if the message isn't found by the time of one who had left that very note's life ends, then his soul gets sucked into that bottle. It's been centuries that I've been stuck in here.

This creature kept on with his wheezing and slow paced walking and I honestly didn't care. My only desire was to be let free of my cage. Soon enough, he plopped his furry butt next to me, still not uttering an audible word. This beast shoved my bottle into his slobbering mouth and shook me! My whole perspective of this situation changed at that moment, and I finally understand that this creature was simply an idiot.

Nevertheless I continued, "No, no. You have to make a wish, you fool. That makes the contract that allows me to be freed. Just say whatever it is you want, and the cork will loosen enough for me to get out of this suffocating cage! It's quite simple! A simple wish is all it takes!"

This buffoon began wheezing all the more desperately, and the look in his eyes changed. Only then did I figure it out. This creature could barely breathe, let alone speak. Oh the irony of me complaining about my glass cage suffocating me, when this fellow was quite literally suffocating. After many a failed attempt, he finally gained some sort of control over his dilemma, enough to whisper to my rotting soul his one wish. Had I known what this wish would do to me, I never would have granted it.

Eager for my freedom, I smiled as I watched the cork lift off of my glass bottle, only to have this turn into a frown the moment I began to turn tangible. I was supposed to be allowed my choice of heaven, hell, or eternal life as a ghost. Yet here I was, with no such choices in sight!

This situation turned even worse, as that of what was tangible of me began to lift onto the barbaric skunk of a creature! I lie to you not, he stunk, and still does to this day.

It was a nightmare I tell you, once his wheezing ended. This buffoon would not shut his trap after I granted his wish. I had not agreed to this! He rambled on and on for ages, but beyond his name, I do not remember any of this fool's talk.

Ethol, the stink bomb of a creature, had desired to have his life saved. By no means did I desire to be stuck to him for the sole purpose of keeping him alive.

personality - Aluf ; Aluf is a silly little guy. He's very kind and generous and is always willing to help others. He's very outgoing and loves to be with others. He's very adventurous and loves trying and discovering new things, however he can get nervous easily. He's particularly loyal, and will never break a promise - he keeps his word, always. He also has a sense of humour, and is fairly witty and extremely sarcastic. He's not very bright, but he doesn't let that slow him down. He's generally a fun guy to be around.

personality - Ghost ; Ghost is very wise and intelligent. He has learnt a lot from his long life, and his after life. At first he comes off as the scary type, but once you get to know him he's really quite friendly. At times he can be a bit snappy, as he gets annoyed easily. He is very daring, and willing to do pretty much anything - after all, he's already dead, what's the worst that could happen? He often pushes Aluf into doing things that he will find frightening, but to Ghost it's just a good time. He likes to do those types of things because it makes him feel more alive. Deep down, he really is quite depressed he is no longer truly alive. He, like Aluf, has an appreciation of sarcasm, and is quite sarcastic.

Their day usually starts with
them waking up at around the
same time. They first hunt down
some breakfast for Aluf - usually
berries. The two of them spend
pretty much the whole day on
the move. They are always
travelling, with no exact destination.
Never do they spend the night
in the same place. They explore,
and play small games with each
other - as well as having quite
a lot of 'berry breaks' for Aluf
to eat. They end the day at sunset,
finding a nice cosy place the
sleep for the night, before waking
and repeating the whole process.
Each day is different - no real
routines.




short story ;

I looked up at the sky. It was sunset. I settled down in the shade of a willow tree. Closing my eyes, I listened to the gentle flow of the stream near by. And slowly, slowly, I drifted into a never ending sleep...

I woke. At least, something like that. I saw. I heard. But I could not move. A strange creature came into view. It spoke in an unknown language, and appeared to be in a trance. I felt a strange sensation, and I gained feeling in my wings and head. I wondered why I could not feel the rest of my body...

Someone screamed. I managed to turn my head and spotted a young fluff, hiding behind a bush. I realised I had committed a few crimes before, but I never hurt anyone. No reason to be this afraid.
"Are you alright?" I asked him. My voice sounded cracked and ancient. I had not spoken in some time. How long had I been asleep?
He looked me in the eye with a worried expression. He was clearly very nervous.
"Don't be scared. I won't harm you. Please, come out and introduce yourself."
Frightened that I would hurt him if he disobeyed, he crept forward and away from the bush.
"I-I'm Aluf," he stuttered. Pausing for a moment, he went on. He spoke quickly, as if he couldn't help himself from speaking - like it just burst out. "What are you? How are you alive? Why are you eyes smoking?"
I looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"
His expression changed. "You don't know what you look like, do you?"
"No."
He picked my head up, and I felt faint realising it was not attached to the rest of my body. He placed it over his own head. Then he did the same with my wings.
"I'll help you," he said, "I promise you that I will help you find the rest of you body, and bring you back to life."
I smiled as best as I could, even though he could not see it.
"Thank you, Aluf."

[Cupid]

Ah reserve

[Gingler]

Walking around in a forest I ended up lost...
-Ugh stupid Berkely and his stupid recipes and his stu-
-I think she's lost
-Let's ask her, maybe we can help her
-What's that?-I heard voices but wasn't able to pinpoint where they came from-
-Hey there girl
-Uh, what?-I tried to find them-
-We are over here!! What's your name?
-OH, nice to meet you I'm Gingler, where is your other friend?
-Actually we are both here-said the skeleton-
-Woah!! WOAH WOAAH
-I think you scared her-
-You are so cool and amazing!
-Hah! of course I am-said the skeleton cackling
the blue guy rolled his eyes and started to say-Mr bones here is called---
-Hey hey! what kind of way is calling me that!Mr bones! How would you feel if I called you Mr fluflypants!!
-Well as a matter of fact I don't care if you call me that, after all I'm very fluffy-
-Um... guys? Can you tell me your names?
-Sure sweetheart I'm Nix and the obnoxious blue fluff is Leuk
-Ugh, you're always the same with all the girls...
-Well, I pass EVERYDAY tied to YOU, it's nice for a change get to meet a nice girl.
- Talking of which, how did you ended up like this?
-Well, sweetie it's a long story and I don't think you have time nor want to hear it.
-Actually, I love stories!-I sitted there- sure,then again maybe you don't want to tell me...-I looked down
-Oh no! we love to tell this story, don't we Nix?
the yellow flame in nix eyes brightened- Of course we do!
It was weird to see them so hyped and happy after recently fighting like that
-Actually we are brothers, Nix is my older brother
-As you may guessed we weren't always like this, I used to be a ball of fluff just like him.
-And he didnt used to be in top of me like this neither- he laughed
the eyes of the skulls on Leuk his tail changed from yellow to bright red and as soon as that happened he shriek
-EEEEK! you didn't need to do that!
- You didn't need to say that either!
-Umm umm... the story?
-Ah yes sweetie, excuse this dimwit I have as a brother-As he said that the red on the skulls changed back to yellow-
-Yeah, everything used to be nice and cool until one day.
-We meet her
-Her?
-A Hungry crocodile that was searching food for her hatchlings
-Oh gosh- I imagined where they were getting at.
-She ate Leuk
But, that was impossible I looked at them but Leuk was the one that was alive. how was that possible?
-I know what you're thining, how is that possible if I'm the alive one?
I just nodded
-It's simple, when I saw my little brother being eaten alive I tried with all my might to get him back, whatever I could get back from her I managed to get part of him, but he wasn't alive anymore-
-Good thing I don't remember any of that!-he laughed-
-Good thing for you, I still remember as if it happened just yesterday-
So, how did you ended up like this?
-I knew where an old shaman lived, I went with him, with my brother on my back flying as fast as I could, when I arrived, he knew what I wanted, he told me the price was high never I guessed it would be this high.
-Do you regret it?-
-Of course not, why do you think I like this story so much? Everytime I tell it to anybody it reminds me how anyday I would do it without hesitation.
-Oh brother I love you too!!
-NO, now don't get mushy with me
-Buuut but broooother!
I just laughed at the sigh of it, they may fight but they both care a lot about each other.
---------------------
Names:
Leuk is the blue fluff ball
Nix is the skeleton

Genders:
Both are male

Likes:
The thing that Leuk likes the most is teasing his brother.
Leuk loves to be able to fly, before the incident, Nix used to grab him and help him fly, since he was born wingless. But now he was a ble to fly anywhere, Nix shared his magic with him so he would be able to fly wherever he wants, of course, Nix is able to get full control over the wings, so when he's sick of flying he makes them to get down and rest.
Leuk loves sweet berries, specially the red ones, there was a day when he got sick, because they found a bunch of wild berries and he didn't stop eating until he finished with them all, not matter what Nix tried to do to stop him, his will to eat every last of them was stronger than Nix magic.
After what happened Leuk loves life more than anything and wants to get to know the whole world.
Nix actually loves to rest, he's usually sleeping when they are traveling, even that, when he feels they are in a dangerous place he's usually awake to take care of his brother, or in the night when Leuk is usually fast asleep. Nix doesn't need to rest though, he never feels sick, or weak, but he likes to rest because when he's sleeping his soul can wander outside that bone body, so you could say he's actually not sleeping, but he likes to call it rest.
Nix likes to help anybody in need, that's why whenever they see someone in trouble he's the first to talk.
He also likes to teach his little brother anything regardless the world, he loves to see how happy he looks whenever he tells him about what he knows.

Dislikes:
Leuk hates how sometimes Nix treats him like if he was still a child, the time passes, yet sometimes Nix acts as if he knew nothing about the world.(Though more than usually Nix is right and Leuk would get in trouble if he wasn't there telling him what not to do)
Leuk hates too how nice Nix is towards the girls, "he is always like this" he was like that even before the accident, being able to fly always got him all the attention, he felt jealous, but he though he was nice to them, because they were nice to him, but actually now after the incident, he still is nice to the girls, even if they shriek and scream and run away, which makes Leuk angry, they shouldn't get like this after being called cute, sweetie or whatever Nix calls them.
Nix hates to see injustice, he hates to see his brother being hurted, it doesn't matter the way he talks to Leuk, nobody can hurt him, and if they dare, they will have a terrible ghost hunting for them.
Nix knows there will be a day they will be separated, Leuk will make his family, and he, what will become of him? He surely can't stay with him like this forever, and he hates to think about it, about the day they will be separated.

As for their average day.
Usually when Leuk wakes up, Nix is already awake, they have a little stash of berries, which Leuk usually noms in the morning.
They are constantly travelling, Leuk thinks maybe there's somebody who can bring his brother body back.
Nix doesn't thinks thats possible, but he enjoys travelling so he doesn't objects.
In the morning they search for a river to get water(usually it's not a problem, because they travel near rivers they find)
Before continuing their travel they get food ready for their next day.
When they finish their usual itinerary they start to travel, usually going with the river, though there are times when they need to get away from it, since it goes to a completely different direction.
They go from place to place, usually guided by stories of wicthes, sorcerers, magicians, the only ones his brother objects thoughs are shamans, Nix fears that another shaman makes him come back just to make his brother the skeleton one.
There are times they stay in the villages they find, there are times when they get hunted or called names because of Nix condition.
Though lucky for them that rarely happen, being so much magic around these places, it's normal to see something like that.
