Guardian Foxes are about the size of a full grown German Shepherd dog.
They have ears similar to those of a Fennec Fox, a species which
they are closely related to. They are given feathers, which are attached
to their tails, when they are born. Full grown Guardians typically have a
feather behind one or both of their ears.They are also born with a mist
surrounding their eyes, paws, and tails. This mist is used to capture a human's
dreams or nightmares.
Their soft coats can be any color or pattern. Pastel colors are most common,
they are often dual toned or even chimeric.

Poem] Hymn to the North Star
The sad and solemn night
Has yet her multitude of cheerful fires;
The glorious host of light
Walk the dark hemisphere till she retires;
All through her silent watches, gliding slow,
Her constellations come, and climb the heavens, and go.
Day, too, hath many a star
To grace his gorgeous reign, as bright as they:
Through the blue fields afar,
Unseen, they follow in his flaming way:
Many a bright lingerer, as the eve grows dim,
Tells what a radiant troop arose and set with him.

And thou dost see them rise,
Star of the Pole! and thou dost see them set.
Alone, in thy cold skies,
Thou keep'st thy old unmoving station yet,
Nor join'st the dances of that glittering train,
Nor dipp'st thy virgin orb in the blue western main.

There, at morn's rosy birth,
Thou lookest meekly through the kindling air,
And eve, that round the earth
Chases the day, beholds thee watching there;
There noontide finds thee, and the hour that calls
The shapes of polar flame to scale heaven's azure walls.

Alike, beneath thine eye,
The deeds of darkness and of light are done;
High towards the star-lit sky
Towns blaze--the smoke of battle blots the sun--
The night-storm on a thousand hills is loud--
And the strong wind of day doth mingle sea and cloud.

On thy unaltering blaze
The half-wrecked mariner, his compass lost,
Fixes his steady gaze,
And steers, undoubting, to the friendly coast;
And they who stray in perilous wastes, by night,
Are glad when thou dost shine to guide their footsteps right.

And, therefore, bards of old,
Sages, and hermits of the solemn wood,
Did in thy beams behold
A beauteous type of that unchanging good,
That bright eternal beacon, by whose ray
The voyager of time should shape his heedful way.

Favorite Theory, Space, Time, and String Theory]
If string theory is a theory of gravity, then how does it compare with Einstein's theory of gravity? What is the relationship between strings and spacetime geometry?

Strings and gravitons

The simplest case to imagine is a single string traveling in a flat spacetime in d dimensions, meaning that it is traveling across space while time is ticking, so to speak. A string is a one-dimensional object, meaning that if you want to travel along a string, you can only go forwards or backwards in the direction of the string, there is no sideways or up and down on a string. The string can move sideways or up and down in spacetime, though, and as the string moves around in spacetime, it sweeps out a surface in spacetime called the string worldsheet, a two-dimensional surface with one dimension of space and one dimension of time.
The string worldsheet is the key to all the physics of the string. A string oscillates as it travels through the d-dimensional spacetime. Those oscillations can be viewed from the two-dimensional string worldsheet point of view as oscillations in a two-dimensional quantum gravity theory. In order to make those quantized oscillations consistent with quantum mechanics and special relativity, the number of spacetime dimensions has to be restricted to 26 in the case of a theory with only forces (bosons), and 10 dimensions if there are both forces and matter (bosons and fermions) in the particle spectrum of the theory.
So where does gravity come in?
If the string traveling through spacetime is a closed string, then the spectrum of oscillations includes a particle with 2 units of spin and zero mass, with the right type of interactions to be the graviton, the particle that is the carrier of the gravitational force.
Where there are gravitons, then there must be gravity. Where is the gravity in string theory?

Strings and spacetime geometry

The classical theory of spacetime geometry that we call gravity consists of the Einstein equation, which relates the curvature of spacetime to the distribution of matter and energy in spacetime. But how do the Einstein equations come out of string theory?
If a closed string is traveling in a curved spacetime, then the coordinates of the string in spacetime feel this curvature as the string propagates. Once again, the answer lies on the string worldsheet. In order for their to be a consistent quantum theory in this case, the curved space in which the string travels must be a solution to the Einstein equations.
Now this is really something! This was a very convincing result for string theorists. Not only does string theory predict the graviton from flat spacetime physics alone, but string theory also predicts the Einstein equation will be obeyed by a curved spacetime in which strings propagate.
What about strings and black holes?

Black holes are solutions to the Einstein equation, therefore string theories that contain gravity also predict the existence of black holes. But string theories give rise to more interesting symmetries and types of matter than are commonly assumed in ordinary Einstein relativity. So black holes are more interesting to study in the context of string theory, because there are more kinds to study.

Is spacetime fundamental?

Note that there is a complication in the relationship between strings and spacetime. String theory does not predict that the Einstein equations are obeyed exactly. String theory adds an infinite series of corrections to the theory of gravity. Under normal circumstances, if we only look at distance scales much larger than a string, then these corrections are not measurable. But as the distance scale gets smaller, these corrections become larger until the Einstein equation no longer adequately describes the result.
In fact, when these correction terms become large, there is no spacetime geometry that is guaranteed to describe the result. The equations for determining the spacetime geometry become impossible to solve except under very strict symmetry conditions, such as unbroken supersymmetry, where the large correction terms can be made to vanish or cancel each other out.
This is a hint that perhaps spacetime geometry is not something fundamental in string theory, but something that emerges in the theory at large distance scales or weak coupling. This is an idea with enormous philosophical implications.

River the fox
Looked at the stars in a blue box
Hoping to fly away
To save the day

Exploring the Library
With her blue diary
Saved after she died
Later to become a bride

Explored the belly of a ship
Gravity Flip
Careful of the Angel
Handle Dangle

She went back home
After Rome
Remember the box
That big blue box

Guardian Fox Name: Supernova. Named after the unique dark blue-ish space-like coloring of his fur.

Guardian Fox Gender: Male

Personality: Supernova is a thinker. He's very smart, especially when it comes to space, which he loves. He's always had an interest in it, naturally, since he wants to learn more about the thing his pelt looks like. He can often be shy around new people, preferring to think rather than speak. But, once he gets to know someone, he is actually very outgoing and a great friend. He listens to what others have to say, and can just as easily make the conversation as listen to it. However, if given the option, he will, obviously, talk about space. Also, due to being a thinker, he loves mysteries, which he tries to come up with theories for, and problem solving.

Likes: Space, mysteries, the unknown, thinking, problem solving, riddles, night time (So he can see the stars.)

Dislikes: Being judged, being alone.

Favorite Hobbies: Watching stars, expressing himself creatively, such as writing. Reading. Thinking about mysteries.

Favorite Quote: "Ive loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." -Galileo

Favorite Shows: Doctor Who, any Space Documentaries (Like NASA things.)

Poem:
Stars; constant and never changing
Points of light to guide the dark
And these stars, in Supernova's eyes
They bring to his eyes a spark.

Stars are eternally there
They hardly ever change.
Those who do not know
May call them strange.

But Supernova knows
For in the stars he sees something
He sees his eternal passion
Stars; constant and never changing.

Poem written by me. Do NOT steal please.

Favorite Food: Blueberry snowcones.

She was gone.
The one he thought was the love of his life...
... was gone.
He... simply doesn't understand,
Nor does he really care.
Not for her, or himself.
He was okay like he had started off.
Living alone in the trash dump that he called 'home'.
But he knew he couldn't live like that forever.
He was an outcast, an exile, a monster.
And although all of these words and more fit him well...
... he doesn't deserve this.
But he doesn't know that.
At least...
... not yet.

Lever would love to have him as a mate if the winner is okay with that. XD I just think the black hole and sunset themes would work nicely.
