Gender: Male, thank you very much.
Sorry for having so much text Berk, I tried to cut it down best I could, but didn't want to take out anything that gave insight to his personality and such. Story is about 750 words, I think. x'3 Look through my eyes:
"Before you call me lazy, irritable and antisocial, let me
set you straight. I'm lazy, irritable, antisocial and I hate you." My
teacher looked at me, shocked, and I added to the insult by swishing
my hair back over my eyes. Well, it'd be over my eyes if it was longer,
but the teacher got the message. I gave her a bored, uncaring look,
wondering if I'd finally push her over the edge today. I hated people
who got all up in my face, always in my personal space and trying to
tell me how to live my life. They sure have turned me into prick,
although to be honest I didn't resist the change much. It keeps people
off my back, most off the time, and that's the way I like it. The teacher
was still staring at me, so I decided if she wouldn't back down then I'd
back out. "Toodles," I said casually, and headed straight for the door.
I've been old enough to drop out of school for a while, so I suppose
it's about time I did anyways. As I pushed out the front door of the
school, I took a deep breath and smiled. Oh, sweet freedom! I could
taste it in the wind. There was always the matter of when I got home,
but I'd deal with that when it was time to be dealt with.
"YOU DID WHAT?!" My father demanded. "You heard me," I said,
seeing a very one-sided argument coming up. I decided to bypass
that completely by making a run for it. The fury was building in
father's eyes and I dashed towards the entrance, flicking his nose
with my tail as I scurried out of the cave. There was a small,
barely noticeable path that turned and went back up around the
rocks, and I bounded up it. Gravel tumbled back down to the
cave and I slipped into a gap between the rocks, pausing to
catch my breath. Even if father chased me, he wouldn't find
me now. He'd probably go down into the valley before even thinking
to check farther up in the mountain, and he'd never find this place.
Light filtered down from above and I followed the closed in path down
to the trickle of a stream. The rocks were large, and steep and far
apart from each other at places, but I'd been here many times before
and knew the way. I walked down the pathway, light and shadow crossing
over me as I passed under gaps in the rock above, until I arrived at a
cavern.This was my home away from home. Paper, electronics, and models
littered the floor and little piles of stone that acted as furniture. I know
what I want to do - I want to make a video game franchise. I've spent
years thinking up story lines, attacks, music - everything. All the
concept work is here, made on my soundboards or carefully sculpted,
written, or otherwise preserved outside of my memory. Maybe others
didn't understand it, thought it was a waste of time, thought I was
wasting my life. But I know the risks. Nobody else understands the way
I think. They think life is being successful, and that being successful
will make you happy. I think they've got it backwards though. Life is
being happy, following your dreams - and doing that will make you
successful. All anyone ever did to me was try to make me conform to
"normal" and "safe". Always telling me what, when, where, why to do
things. Never off my back. Stupid, demanding, ignorant, pushy -
I shook my head, trying to clear those thoughts, those thoughts that
cropped up every time that came here. I just closed my eyes and breathed
in the scent of the rocks and water and my tools. Listened to the quiet.
My chest warmed up and I smiled. Here I could leave my prick self
guarding the entrance and just be my real self. I padded over to the main
desk and carefully turned a little figurine with my claw. The new coat
of paint shimmered softly, the metallic color producing just the effect
I'd hoped for. The paint was mostly dry, and by tomorrow morning I could
do the next coat. Turning slightly, I nudged a sunbathing lizard off of
the papers I'd written yesterday and straightened them out. Then I looked
around. I realized I was going to have to make a bed if I wanted to sleep
here tonight - and I most certainly did. So that's what I set off to do.
Extra #1 - My Family Relationships
Relations at this point are how Pure imagines them, since she won't know the personalities of the other beans until after they are judged. If she wins though, they will be changed to fit with the personalities given to the other beans when they are won.
Father
I have a really tense relationship with Father. I know he just wants "the best" for me, but his "best" is stupid and boring, and he's always trying to shove it onto me. He thinks following my dreams is going to land me a horrible adulthood, so he won't let me do my own thing. Any time I try to make him understand my point of view, there's just a long one-sided argument that he turns in circles upon circles.
Mother
Ma always goes easy on me, which is good, because if she didn't I'd go absolutely crazy. Or maybe run away with Puffle, who I'm sure would just love the adventure. I think Ma feels a bit sorry for the way everyone tries to tell me how to live, or maybe she feels sorry for the way I've turned out. I am sorta a jerk, I'll admit, and no mother wants that. But whatever the reason, Ma just lets me do whatever and will try to avoid taking Father's side most of the time. We don't really talk much, but I don't think there's a need to, she just sort of understands, and I like the quiet better.
Puffle
Oh, man, Puffle. What to say? I want to like him, I really do, but he's just so... so crazy! He barely seems to notice that I'm usually stressed out and just carries on with his bouncy, zippy, annoying self! I just don't have the energy or patience to handle him and all he wants to do is play or talk or.... ugh! But when he's in a cuddly mood it's okay, if I go along with it then that will keep father off my back for a while because he doesn't want to involve little Puffle. And, if you swear not to tell anyone, I honestly do like the company. The little kid's obliviousness to my issues actually comes in handy when I just need a little ball of fluff to squeeze. He doesn't even notice if my eyes get watery... I mean, which would never happen, but hypothetically... like if I was stressed out enough... but really nothing bothers me that much... okay, fine! You got me. But tell anyone and I'll rip your fur out. Or use my secret weapon... Puffle static! I swear I'll sic this kid on you.
My other siblings
I don't think any of my siblings really understand me that much...but as long as they don't bother me about it and pretend I don't exist, it's good enough for me. I hate having so many people around, so I'm usually out of the house, and therefore I don't have a very good relationship with any of them. If I had to pick a favorite (or should I say, least disliked) it would be either my little brother Puffle or my oldest sibling. Puffle's sorta explained above, and for my oldest sibling, they usually cut me some slack. I guess they know what growing up and trying to find your own way is like... they don't take my side, but they don't take father's side either, so it's cool I guess.
Extra #2Hey...wait, what?! I did NOT tell Pure she could draw me at such an embarrassing moment. And I sooo did not fall asleep at my desk last night. Why do you think I made a bed, idiot?
