Payment

Genral
Name: Dragonfly
Nicknames: D-fly, or just D. Notice: His real name is Kai, but he changed it.
Gender: Male
Age: Rather young, just over 9 months old.

About Him
Personality: Dragonfly is sociable, strong and clever. He seems to be able to get out of any tight situation, and when he is around others, it's like his strength gets a helpful boost. He is quick on his feet, and will stand up for his friends and family. If he thinks a rule or something is wrong, he won't hesitate to speak out against it. He seems to be very hotheaded and stubborn, but if you get to know him, he'll really open out to you. He can find a loophole in just about any rule and will be a troublemaker. He doesn't seem to get along well with Oriental Marble Cats, for the fact that he dislikes being shorter than anyone (even though he's short for the average of Standards, as well). Also, he is a glutton towards many types of foods, even those unnatural to his species.
He seems to have an inner "madness" that effects him when he is in deep states of anger, injury or grief.
Songs That Describe Him: Monster by Skillet - I choose this one because of the madness he has (last sentence of personality).
Favorite Color: Black
Likes: Lilies, night, shadows, the moon, being with others, water, flying, oak trees
Dislikes: Daytime, bright lights, loud noises, Oriental MCs, kits, being alone, rain
History: Little is known about Dragonfly's history. He found out about this "madness" he had at a very young age, and has strained to control it, but to no prevail. He has no silbings, and doesn't know who his mother and father are. He was also known as quite a little thief when he was out of a cluster. He has had few friends in his life, one being a Marble Cat named Wielder and the other a Marble Cat named Song. However, Song was murdered by a strange Marble Cat that D-fly few times got a glimpse of, and Wielder went missing one day.
Quotes:

"My world...few know about it...it's a place where I can be myself no matter what. Where I don't have to have limitations, where I don't have rules."

"I'm all for rules. As long as they're not telling me to do and slash or not do something."

"I'm an idiot and I know it!"

"I don't think ten seconds will be enough to cool down anger."

"O-m-g, you're the smartest person in the world! I love you!"

Competition
Art: D-fly

OCC
Why I Want Him: He's beautiful! And I absolutely love wolves, I have since I was...what, 4 or 5? I just think they're majestic and all. Plus, I love gray-colored adoptables and ones with amber eyes. I think I deserve him because I am always sure to give good care of my Marble Cats (I just got a new one, and already have 3 peices of art for him. I would also love to have a male Marble Cat.~

[MoonHallow]

Username: RaindropWish
Name: Varko
Gender: Male
The song I think describes him is Quietdrive's cover of Time After Time. He is always there for everyone else, but sometimes feels that no one is there for him.
History: He was surrounded by loving family when he was young, but as he got older, the more his family drifted apart. He copes with the pain from that by trying to make friends, and maintaining very strong bonds with the friends he does have. His life so far has been very difficult but he tries not to show it. He is very family oriented and hopes to have one of his own someday.
Personality: He loves companionship, but he's not very good with social interactions, so his friends are few and far between but he's very loyal to the ones he has. He can be very introverted, but he also doesn't want to be worried about, so he shrugs off (or tries to) negative feelings and bad memories. He struggles with himself a lot of the time, but is overall cheerful and exceptionally loyal.

I would love to have him because I grew up in a household of rescued Grey Wolves (and he's absolutely gorgeous). My momma had several of them (she has a license). They made my life so much better. Wolves have always been my favorite animal, and they mean a lot to me and bring back so many fond memories. He actually looks a fair amount like the Alpha male, Kain. I don't have any Marble Cat's as of yet, and I've been waiting for a special one. I think he is absolutely perfect. I'll take very good care of him and get some art of him up as soon as I can.
Trade: SENT

[nervousnickel]

Ohhh myyy! He is perfect! <3 <3 I think I'm in love..

But.. end date August 12? Is that a typo? Aaaand do you consider writing for art? I would love to draw him, but classes and work are consuming my life at the moment but I feel like I could probably put together a small story for him. It would probably tie into his history.


Name: Selvatico (Italian for "wild")

Nicknames: Sel, Selv, Selva, Tico

Gender: Male

Age: Young Adult

Personality: Sel is a mischievous one. Since he was a tiny kit, he has been known to wreak havoc on those around him. He even terrorized the rest of his clutch, much to his mother's despair. More than a few times as a juvenile, he would entertain himself by dropping various things - seeds, berries, flowers, twigs - on to unsuspecting passersby below. Despite regular reprimanding, his inconsiderate acts continued to flourish. It's not until recently that his temperament has begun to shift. While he still has an inclination for mischief, he is learning to have limits and has been favouring more clever pranks than cruel ones.

History: He was born into a fairly sized clutch of kits. Due to his excessively ruthless bullying, he never really developed any strong connections to his siblings. He even has a tentative relationship with his own mother. She loves him and he has a certain fondness for her, but beyond that he only ever visits her when necessary. After an encounter with a mysterious loner, he has been inspired to turn over a new leaf.

Songs:
Strong Anything by Katrina Elam ♪ Although he is generally a troublemaker, he possesses an extraordinary passion and zest for life.
Stinker by Elton John ♪ Self explanatory. He's got a knack for being a pain in the behind.
Cuckoo by Adam Lambert ♪ Because he's a bit crazy, loves to have fun and doesn't care what others think of him.

Misc: Sel is not afraid to get his fur dirty. In carrying out his antics, he'll disguise himself in dirt, mud or plants. He doesn't typically allow himself to stay dirty for long though. Situations calling for such measures are normally followed up with a very thorough bath and grooming; he does take pride in his appearance from time to time.

He loves music and, when he is not pulling pranks, can often be found lounging lazily in the branches of various trees listening to birdsong.

A common snack is nectar. He is particularly fond of the nectar from pansies.

Every now and then he will pick off random insects (beetles, worms, etc). He enjoys the "hunt."

Bid: Sent :]

Story:

"Almost," he mutters under his breath, orange eyes narrowed on his target. His long-fingered paws fidget restlessly around the strip of vine stretching skyward. Farther up, the vine wraps over a carefully smoothed bit of branch. The very end is secured to a good-sized hunk of hollowed-out bark. Needless to say, this was one of his more elaborate schemes.

Ah there! Finally, the subject of his latest handiwork is squarely beneath his trap — that darn cat that's always hogging the best berries. He lets go in an instant and gleefully flutters about, eager to watch the scene unfold. Now free, the chunk of bark drags the vine sharply over the branch as it descends rapidly. A split second before impact, the cat below pauses mid-step, fur prickling. Just as his head turns to investigate, the bark lands upon him with a loud fwump and an undignified yowl.

Selvatico snorts and sputters with laughter before outright shrieking with glee as he rolls through the air. His eyes closed in his enjoyment, he doesn't notice where he's going until he thumps right into thick bush. "Oof," he frowns, displeased as twigs and thorns tug at his fur.

"Who's there?"

He freezes in place, partly from his tangled fur and partly due to the strange voice. The sounds of mayhem fade into background noise in the aftermath of his plans. He can see a figure pushing through the leaves. It's another cat, but not one he's seen before. The older male moves through the foliage with practiced ease, his thick fur keeping his skin safe from the thorns. His wings, however, bear a number of nicks and scars. Hearing the commotion beyond, a faintly concerned look passes the cat's features. "Are you the cause of this panic?"

A couple owlish blinks and a tilt to his head reveal his confusion before he replies with a steady, unquestioning, "So," as he settles down as though he had intended to rest upon the twigs and thorns. Something sharp digs into a hind paw and he twitches it away from the source.

"Mm," the cat settles down, staring evenly at his unexpected company. "You must do this sort of thing often then?" It's phrased as a question but there is a certainty in his voice.

Wise old codger, Sel thinks bitterly. "Why does it matter to you?" His split tail lashes and one of his ears twitch.

There's a long stretch of silence as the stranger continues to stare him down with experienced, knowing eyes. Just as it begins to unnerve Sel, he finally speaks again. "I used to be like you."

He can't hold back a huffed, "Right."

"Oh, I'm quite serious. And I learned the hard way that change was imperative." He settles carefully on a leaf, seeming to consider his next words. "I wish to impart some of that knowledge to you."

Sel wrinkles up his nose in distaste, moving to stand as fully as he can. "Look, you don't even know me!" Quickly growing fed up with this pretentious old man, he begins to pick his way through the thorns so he can turn and leave.

"What if one of your.. pranks went beyond what you had planned?" A tone of remorse in the other cat's voice makes him pause and he silently curses. "Did you ever consider the consequences of a jest gone wrong? True harm coming to someone?"

He's shocked when his breath catches in his throat. His desire to bolt doesn't seem to reach from his mind to his body. Instead, his mouth works out the words, "What... do you mean?" Orange eyes stare fixedly on a gently waving leaf.

"I think you know, child," comes the soft response. A quiet clearing of his throat segues into his story. A story of a foolish young cat who took pride in his pranking, continuously one-upping himself and always, always scheming. The familiarity of the tale sends chills down Sel's spine. The older cat hesitates a beat before reaching the climax of his story. A prank gone wrong. The timing off, the method too strong. His target had been missed, but instead a young kit stumbled in. Every feasible treatment attempted and still a young life was lost that day. He had fled in his horror, a self-imposed exile. The shock of the occurrence catapulted him to change, but the damage had already been done.

By the time the story is over and silence takes hold, Sel's head is hanging low and his ears are full of the rushing pulse of his blood. A gentle nudge to his flank makes him jerk around.

"Break free of this cycle.. before you become like me." Their eyes meet momentarily before the older cat turns to be swallowed up once more by the plant life.

Just as his twin tails disappear, Sel finds his voice. "Thank you."

Form is a work in progress.. I have to get some sleep. ._.

Hoping to add to this after work tonight.. Hope that's not too late. Between work, classes and health things, I haven't been able to find the time. :<

Done! I hope it's not too rough.. I haven't really had the chance to proofread the story. :<

Never mind, I'm drawing out of the contest.
Username: Acid Hearts~
Name: Seth
Gender: Male, of course!
Personality: He's a rather shy marble cat, but he has a good heart and if you become close to him he's super nice and caring. If there's ever a marble cat in trouble, he would risk his own life to save theirs, but wouldn't gloat over it (humble). He always puts others' needs before his own, and he's really perceptive when it comes to people's feelings.
