Delta Velorum Foxes are tall looking foxes that are only located on the remote planet of Delta Velorum.
Standing between 2 - 2 1/2 feet at the should, Delta Velorum Foxes are very tall in appearance compared to Red Foxes on Earth. They tend to be long legged in appearance and are well known for their endurance and agility. Males tend to be more muscular then females while female are more slender and elegant in appearance. A Delta Foxes fur tends to be very soft and short, and come in a wide variety of natural colors. It is not uncommon to see them in roans and dun colors similar to horses and are commonly seen in cat colors and patterns as well (such as calico, tabby, bengal markings ect). However the combination of colors and patterns are limitless, and each Delta Velorum Fox is different from the next. No two are ever the same in looks. Delta Velorum Foxes can come in any eye color and combination - no matter if it's natural or unnatural. A fox with two or more eye colors (known as Heterochromia) is uncommon but not unheard of.

Quiet like the snow...
If i am the lucky one to win this fox,he would be called "Avet",
wich is the bosnian word for "ghost" .I choosed this name for two reasons: for his ghostly appearance of course,and for his silent,unobtrusive and protective personality-he would be like some sort of protection spirit for thoose close to him,easily overlooked,but always there-and mostly seen during the nighttime.
Avet was born a todd,and he has always identified himself as such.
Nine words...
|silent|calm|accepting|resigned|protective|tactical|insecure|passionate|adaptable|
...and the reason behind them:
Avet is the type of fox you would overlook easily in a group despite his unusual appearance- he rarely talks or joins the conversation unless spoken to,and prefers to stay in the background,to listen and to overlook the whole situation to be able to step in at the right time and turn the situation in the way he sees as the best. He is mistaken for shy really often,but thats not completely true-yes,beeing in the center of attention makes him feel kinda uncomfortable,but he´s perfectly able to cover it up,and he is definetely not the one you could boss around-its just that he prefers to be the watcher rather than an active part-taker,its just how he rolls. But like all things, his quietness has its negative side aspects-Avet would never complain about his personal issues or problems,and so he has to deal with his fears and sadnesses all alone,and even though he tells himself that he likes it like that,its simply not true. He also tends to downplay pain and any form of weakness,wich can lead him into serious health trouble.
His quiet personallity and the slightly mystic,"otherworldy" vibe he gives off often because of it is even increased by his general calmness-Avet is a fox who does everything he does with time and care,and he easily keeps his head cool in the most hectic,dangerous or chaotic situations. Its possibly because of his experience of life that this fox seems always kinda chilled,he knows how things work and he is almost impossible to anger. He might even come off as absent minded,but he actually notices everything around him perfectly,especially when he starts to look dreamy to others .
This fox is...well,not exactly mother nature´s most beloved child, for he has not only to deal with one genetic disease,but two of them,and sadly they´re of the sort that easily makes you a "freak" to others: his completely pigmentless body,especially his glooming red eyes,look differend enough from what "normal" DVFs look like that many of them considered him as creepy from the first sight,and the fact that he is an experienced fox with the face of a kit does not make anything better. Avet was judged as confusing,frightening or just plain weird too often to be superficial himself,he knows how it feels to be misunderstood and to struggle with beeing sort of an outsider-and instead of turning bitter and cold because if it,he simply decited to do better than thoose who despised him for nothing than outwardnesses and rumours,and choosed to take everyone he mets just as they are-nobody is purely black or white,good or bad to him,and he is an expert of overlooking someones flaws and appreciate them for their likeable characteristics. Always open to the new and deeply fascinated with how differend the minds of people (or better foxes) work,he is able to encourage others to be themselve around him,and he often makes friends with foxes he completely disagrees in worldview or ideals.
He is mainly able to be as fatherly and reasonable as he is today because at some point in his life,he just realized that there will always be foxes who are superficial hypocrites,and that there will always be the ones who will never be willing or able to accept him,and that he could do absolutely nothing against this. As a kit,he was often hurt and furious,got into fights with thoose who laughed at him or called him names,and for a really long period of time,he was a bitter,rude individual with a deep hate for a world wich could´nt see that not everything society dont understand is automatically wrong or bad. He felt betrayed and misstreaten,and he showed it. But the older he growed,he stareted to realize that his life would always be a bleak mess,a living hell full of hate and sadness if he let himself get so connected to thoose things. He finally saw that the ones who tried to bring him down would always have power over him if he allowed them to ,that they would always be stronger than him unless he started to free himself from his anger and his depending on other´s opinion of him. This was the moment he just accepted that he would never be able to make everyone like and accept him,that there would be always thoose who had their prejudices against "oddballs" like him-and with this acceptance came the insight that he absolutely did not care about them. He had his life,they had theirs,and if he did´nt wanted them in his life,he was always free to suspend them from it,to simply treat them with the same importance as some whistling in the air or a crunching old leaf under his paws. He´s used to taking insults and the permanentely underestimating either with humour or with stoicism,depending on the situation
Avet may seem fragile and a bit helpless himself,like someone you need to protect,but its acutally mostly he who stands up for others-all of his usual reservedness completely vanishes when he sees someone threaten thoose who cant fight for themselfes,and he can get pretty arrogant and offending to thoose he catches abusing weaker ones-he really,really rarely uses violence,but he mostly has his ways to teach a lesson when he thinks it´s needed,and as an excellent obsever,he mostly knows eaxactly what to say to make it truly hurt. He feels responsible for others easily and loves to be there for others and to feel needed,and he always silently watches over thoose who are close to him.This fox will do anything to keep his loved ones safe,and he would give his life for you in a second once he finds you worth it.
Physical strenght or a flashy personality are not on avet´s side,so he always had to use his mind to get things done-over his life,the todd turned into an extremely intelligent,clear-sighted and rational creature with a quick wit and the ability to connect new informations and situations into simple yet highly effective plans. He always does only that wich is necessary,trying to solve problems with the smallest efford and the most effect. He´s also quite the diplomat,polite,self-controlled and mostly able to find the right words to calm down a fight.
Avet may be able to accept himself,but this does not necessarily means that he likes himself. In fact,there are often phases in wich he wishes nothing more than to be able to compare with every other fox out there physically,to be able to take a sunbath like everyone else and just to be less...differend. Especially when it comes to relationships he turnes extremely insecure, mostly just strict avoiding any kind of closer contact in fear to get rejected-wich fox would want something as disfigured as him,who could really take someone serious who looks like a child for his whole life? He mostly hides deeper feelings towards other foxes,staying as friendly but reserved to everyone equal.
If something catches avets ture interest,he will go in for it with all his heart,strenght and endurance,and so he´s often seen dealing with something for hours,may it be the sollution for a problem,a battle tactic or simply a new decoration for someone´s den. He is sort of a perfectionist,but not the hectic,sullen and picky sort of perfectionist-he simply never gets tired of trying to improve something,and dealing with the matter brings actually fun and relief to him.
Avet is also a todd who does not need much to be happy,and who gets used to new situations and environments pretty quickly.
A start is never easy,but i´ve think i´ve come a long way-even though i doubt my journey will ever be over...Avet:
" Pffff,and what do you want here? Where going on a mission,thats waaaay to dangerous for kits."
Several years have passed,but i still hear Dustie´s voice as clear and scornful as if he´d stand next to me. We where four young adults in our little group that wandered through the mountains,Shirran,Lou,Dusty and I ,with Shirran beeing the oldest and Dusty the youngest-but definetely the most boastfull. We had found the forgotten tunnel into the mountain yesterday evening,and we had decited immediately that we had to come back tomorrow to explore the insides of the caves and tunnels the small entrance would lead us to. And there we where, Dusty staring down at me like he would on a little kit,refusing to let me join the group. Furious rage crept up my head immediately, my neckfur fluffed up and my theet where bared as i hissed at him " So,and who made you leader here,you loud-mouth? Anyway,i´m actually older than you,as you know!" Dusty just grinned " Oh,tell that whoever you want,nobody would believe you anyway palceface,no matter if it may be true or not...but see,i just want the best for anyone,you with your poor vision and your fragile little body could get hurt so easily,and we others had to look after you all the time so nobody could have fun...you would be nothing but a burden and a risk to the mission,right guys?" he said with false friendliness,looking at Lou and Shirran-and that was enough. With a wild howl,i jumped at Dusty,sinking my theet into his thick neckfur. The scuffle was short and furious,and even though i was able to land a few good hits due to my better tactic,it was clear fastly that i could´nt bear up to the strenght of the other fox who was almost twice as big as me. Finally Shirran stepped in and separated us before someone could get seriously injured,but the winner was clearly Dusty who gave me a last arrogant look "see,your´re way too small and weak to be ready for an adventure!" he said,walking away slowly,Lou following him ."So,you´re serious?" i asked Shirran,who was still sitting next to me. "well avet...you know,you´re our friend and all but...dont you think Dusty could be a bit right,even though hes an annoying showoff most of the time? i mean,you are sort of...small,and when something happens to you,what would the others,especially your parents say?" he was unable to look me in the eyes as i stood up and left him "hmmmmpf,never wanted to crawl around in some boring,dirty tunnels anyway,go and have fun with thoose nice friends of yours!" A few minutes later,as i jumped on the rock wich extended into the river,i looked into the mirroring water and sticked my tongue out at the pale,slender face that looked up to me with peculiar red eyes. I did not like what i saw,not one single bit,and i reached out my paw and touched the water to make the reflection dissapear. With a soft,plashy sound the first raindrops started to fall,and seconds later the world around me was covered in a curtain of falling water.I felt them dropping on my head and body,and without me fully noticing tears joined them,runned down my face and became one with the rain. I sighted as i thought that it would be probably always like this-the only reason i was allowed to walk around freely without the protecting shade of the trees was that it had been cloudy the whole time,on sunny days my parents would never allow me to leave the deeper forrest.I would have been unable to go anyway,the sun would have burned me to a crisp in a few hours...but that was something i could have lived with.I was born an albino,completely colorless and unable to protect myself against sunlight,but i had learned to love the night as much as i loved the day,even more to be honest.I was alright with it,but what i would never get used to was the fact that i was trapped in the small,fuffy and disgustingly weak body of a kit for the rest of my life-how would anyone ever take me serious if i was like this?! I was six month old when i suddenly stopped growing,and after three other month had passed,my parents had to face the harsh reality-i would never grow into an adult fox,i would stay in the stage of a young teenager forever. I remeber how hard i´ve cried when they told me about it,and even though my parents never treated me differend from before i could´nt help the thought that they where dissapointed and embarassed because of their weirdlooking,differend child,wich was the main reason i stared to separate myself from them. Today i know how dumb i was at this time-my parents loved me dearly,no matter how i looked,and so did the rest of our little pack,even though not all of them knew how to deal with someone like me. We where a little pack of rogues,two pairs of adults and we four youngsters,and i normally loved them with all my heart-but my friends had started to treat me differend lately,and i felt more and more like i did not belong here with them anymore. So there i layed in the rain,crying and pondering over how unfair the whole world was,as i suddenly felt the urge to get up and do sonething against my miserable situation-whining wont get me anywhere,it would just prove how right Dusty was when he called me weak.I had two options- feeling like a stranger and having fun anyway,or feeling like a stranger and allowing this feeling to bring me down.I shook myself to get rid of the water and wandered over to the mountain,entering the tunnel-if the others dont wanted me to explore it with them,i just could explore it on my own,they where not able to forbid me where to go. I wandered around the tunnel system,amazed by the strange beauty of the various caves and cliffs,and i felt surprisingly lucky and free. I was about to take my next step through a small tunnel,as the ground benath me suddenly gave in and i fell down,closing my eyes and awaiting a painful crash with the hard ground-but landed surprisingly soft on something big and fluffy. I heard a scream,and when i opened my eyes i saw nothing but complete darkness,but i could smell a familiar scent-the something that softened my downfall was apparently my friend Lou who had laid here in the obscurity! Now as i tried to get back my orientation i noticed that Dusty and Shirran where there too,both shivering but taking place beside Lou "who-w-who is there? explain yourself!" Shirran growled,trying to sound intimidating-but he could not cover up the fear in his voice. " Everything alright,its me,Avet!" i called over to them,taking a few steps towards the three young foxes. " What are you doing down here,did you step on that hole in the ground too? and what´s wrong with you guys?" I asked them,and my eyes finally started to recognize their shilouettes in the dark. "Its Lou,she hurt her shoulder when she fell down here...yes,it was that damn hole,and now where trapped here in the darkness,its just too high to climb up again-we tried to find out another way,but we always lost orientation after a few minutes,its just too dark,and horrible narrow there...avet,im sorry,but i dont think we will be able to get out of here.We tried everything but...useless." Shirran said with a shaking voice,his head haniging down hopeless. Somewhere in the darkness behind him,Lou started to cry,and Dusty nudged her ear to comfort her,but he seemed as despaired as everyone else.In the moment i saw my friends like this, i forgot everything-how bad we had quarreled this morning,how mad i was at them for the way they treated me,and especially my own fear wich had started to take hold of me during Shirran´s explanation. A strange calmness overcame me as i sat down next to them,laying my paw on Lou´s shoulder. " We just can´t give up like this,seriously." I took a deep breath "Look,here is enough air to breath without problems,so there has to be another way out.I know,the darkness can be frightening enough to confuse your mind at first,but i have lifed half my life in the dark,im used to it-when your eyes dont work,you have to rely on your other senses." I explained,closing my eyes and smelled,trying to catch any scent of trees,gras or fresh air. "We will go all together,and we will find a way out if here,i promise-but you two have to carry Lou,im not strong enough for that." Earlier this day,i would have rather swallowed my own tongue than to admit that,but for some reason,i felt neither ashamed nor angry about it-somewhere in my mind a cognition started to rose: yes,i was weaker than other foxes,and i would always be,but that did not neccessarily ment that i was lower than them,because i might have other qualities to make up for that.All my life i had subconciously envied my friends ,i really had thought of them as better than me,but know i saw that there where situations in wich they where clueless and helpless too,that they had their own weaknesses,just like me.I started to seek my way through the narrow tunnels,Dusty and Shirran following me closely with lou on their shoulders. It was dark,but i was used to darkness,and so it was not that difficult to find my way out,especially because i was not caught in fear. It took about two hours (wich felt like twenty) and at a few places the others had to carry me up to some high rockspurs or we had to dig because the way i found was small enough for me but not for the others,but then we where out in the daylight again, dirty and out of breath,but incredibly relieved . We sat there for a few minutes,then Dusty turned his head to me. "Avet...im just...oh man,dont take seriously how i acted this mornig,okay? Its just that i always hated to be the youngest of us,and then it just...i think i thought it would make me feel better." My first impulse was to give him a snappy response,but then i thought about it and smiled. "Well,i guess we all want to be someone else sometimes,eh?" i said friendly and grinned . We never told our parents what happened that day,but from now on,we got along much better-i guess the feeling of beeing trapped in a dark cave teached us all a lesson. We had some wonderfull month together,and then came the time for us young foxes to leave our parents and playmates to find our own life. I have seen a lot of the world since then,and time made things much clearer for me-i have learned that not everyone is able to accept that not everything differend of understandable is automatically wrong,and that not everyone who might treat you in a way you dont like actually means to harm you. I have met a few foxes,but i never stayed in one place for longer,and most of the time im completely alone,mainly because i still prefer the nightime for traveling. I have no certain place im wantering to,i just want to see as much of the world as possible-at the moment,im heading towards the sea,but i have to wander through places wich belong to the four great clans of Delta Velorum to get there...i think i just will have to ask if they allow me to cross their borders. Maybe i´ll ask one of them if i can stay for a while,its been quite the time since i had company...who knows where my journey will take me next?Likes:
- wintertime,especially the sight of the snowcovered nature,walks through heavily falling snow or beeing inside somewhere all warm and cozy with friends or family members
-the taste and smell of lemon balm (if it does not exist on delta velorum,i´ll take the plant that comes closest XD)
-stargazing
-the night and darkness in general
-swimming
-playing with kits -a rare ocassion where his eternal inner child awakes,he always jokes around and takes part in all games the little ones invent
- gemstones (he absolutely loves green tourmaline stones)
-helping others
-naps in the moonlightdislikes
-summertime,the hot weather and especially the intense sun is not the right thing for an albino like him
-unnecessary violence
-bright light of any sorts
-rudeness and other impolite behavior
-prejudices
-beeing/feeling helpless
-beeing in the center of attention
-flirting,or better beeing in the situation of liking someone and beeing too insecure to get a word out of his mouth
-getting muddy or otherwise dirty
-great crowds
-beeing physically weak
-the way he looks (except his eyes,he actually finds them nice)
Random facts:
-Avet gets actually misstaken for a ghost sometimes by thoose who dont know him personally,they just see a shimmering white shilouette wandering through the snowy woods without a sound and get spooked whenever Avet is on a midnight walk
-he´s used to the nocturnal life,its simply easier to avoid the sunlight,especially in summer
-he will never be the strongest fighter,but he´d make an excellent spy due to his inconspicuousness and power of observation
-he has a phobia of drowning
-he is allergic to grains,but only when he eats/swallows them
-when nobody is around,he loves to roll around in fresh fallen snow or leafes
-he absolutely loves autumn collors
