Username: Yagottaluvme

Kennel Number: Kennel number three

Name: Fandango

Gender: Male

Breed/Species: Canine, specifically a wolf.

Personality: Fandango is funloving Wolf, he is pretty much carefree and relaxed almost all the time. He is usually collected and kind too. He is sweet to mostly any other wolf and doesnt have much of a flirty side. Though he is a caring wolf, he is a rather reckless canine, he doesnt like to be caged or contained that much. His colorful coat matches his diverse personality too. He does have soft sensitive point in him you just have to be willing to reach it, he is a very passonate wolf who puts everything he can into his goals and tries as hard as he can to the best of his ability to succeed in life. He is determined to always make the best of things and be as positive as he possibly can, he is very presistant too and wont bear to lose, he'll keep trying until he comes out ontop, though when he chases after an unrealistic goal he cant acheive he will sometimes put up a facade to hide his emotions so he wont be discouraged enough to stop. This would be his theme song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXymRx7zc3s

Background/History: When Fandango was born he was a strong pup in his litter. He grew up around his family and pack until he was ten month's thats was the age that his pack would pick the two strongest pups born in the litter, who would leave the pack on a journey to find there own destiny. Unfortunatly Fandango didnt knwo about it until it was too late, he had trained as hard as he could to be the best and the strongest inthose ten month's, he was always out hunting qand practicing fighting techniques with his littermates. He had always looked up to his parents, not knowing there plans to get rid of him. Though when he found out about the two wolf rule he was deeply discoraged. Though he did follow the rules without shedding a tear and left bravely, he left the very night he found out he would be taken away so he wouldnt have the sad goodbyes or watch the other pup be dragged away.

He traveled for about two month's. Luckily his gret training had payed off, he was never the least bit hungry and was always more so in his old pack. He had his own small little peice of territory and was able to fight off any rogues who dared to enter. Though his world was missing something, his heart felt half empty still. He was missing a mate, though he was still young he was a strong wolf and was no lonegr a pup, if he was able to take such good care of hismelf alone he could probably take care off a she-wolf too. So he traveled east toward the Cloud pack.

When he reached the pack boundary's he met the alpha who aceoted him into the pack as an omega. Though Fandango didnt want to be such a low rank he would live with it. After a couple of weeks, he fought hard, hunted great he proved himself to teh alpha male. He was strong enough to be promoted to Gamma male. After a while another male joined the pack, named Reily, the black wolf was a total party animal who somehow found alot in common with Fandango. He was easily befriended after so.

Fandango was always a favorite to the leader though when winter came again and he was a year old, he sat down on a rock in the clearing, watching a dandillion struggle to keep aloft in the wind when Reily snuck up behind him and leaped ontop of him. Fandango grinned and rolled over him and pinned him down "Pinned ya again" he teased leaping off. Reily roled his eyes growling. Though after Fandango could feel light snow wet his coat. He tossed his head "Come on we dont wnat to get caught in a blizzard." he said. Reily nodded and followed behind him as they kept a heavy trot. He could feel the snow get harder and when he looked up it looked like it wasnt about to let up any. He kept walking but when he looked ack Reily wasntbehind him "reily this is no time for pranks" he said, but there was no response. He felt his chest heave a little harder in the frigid air but he knew that Reily would turn up eventually.

The snow picked up into a terrible blizzard. Unfortanatly Fandango wasnt able to find shelter in time and was caught in the horrible storm. He walked about five miles, then snow like bulletys shooting hard against his body so hard he couldnt take it any longer, he toppled down onto the snow, almost instantly sinking down into it. Though Fandango wasnt about to give up, he knew if he didnt get up soon he would never get back up. He pulled his body slowly up hoping not to fumble down again, luckily he didnt. He slowly moved step by step until he found a cave about a mile ahead he felt happiness oevrflow him, so much he sprinted toward the enterance, when he made it he practically collapsed on teh wet cave floor.

Sadly Reily was never foudn though the week before him was brutal, he had to survive with no food but he made it and when the blizzard was finally gone he made his way out, his coat was still thick and warm though his bones felt frail and weak. helooked out to the snow like a thick warm blanket, he made his way back to his packs densite but found no one, not even a single scent. he was left alone again, tored and uungry he made his way north to find food and territroy to call his as he preparedto start a new life.

When he found a nice little acere of land for hismelf, winter was over the grand summer was upon him! he hunted many elk,though he never found Reily again or found his pack he has been living a happy life.

Until the one day some familair scents flooding through him infront of him, could it be? Reily!!!

Use: I would get as much art of him as i could! and maybe use him in some Rp's
I was also planning to make a pack of my characters, he would be a great Alpha! if this happened i would of course update his history

Other: He is a young adult. He loves the summertime but hates the winter because of his terribl eblizzard experience which has taught him to be much more careful in life

You can hide underneath me and come out at night

Username: Ninjutsu

Kennel Number: 127

Name: Silver
(I know is super unoriginal, but that's the only thing I could find that really fits that I actually like. xD Plus I love the name. ;-; <3 I'm really picky about names. > >;;;;;;)

Gender: Male

Breed/Species: Grey Wolf

Personality:
Silver is rather shy and quiet. He cannot assert himself at all and finds it difficult to stand out in the crowd. He's self-conscious with no confidence at all. Many may call him weak and small, but outward appearances are deceiving. Silver has a big heart, he's very empathetic towards others and likes to bring comfort to them. Even when he's reading stories or watching a show, he feels with the characters. He's got a particular ear for music and a beautiful singing voice. He's vastly creative with an amazingly broad imagination. Silver finds it hard to make friends though. He is usually way too shy to talk to anyone for long periods of time. He has a social anxiety, actually, so he isn't really out and about much. He used to be made fun of for being too girly when he was little, because he liked to sing and was rather 'soft'. He was submissive and still is. Silver isn't dominant at all. He would rather follow than lead. Because of the constant teasing and dislike towards him when he was young, he doesn't really have any friends. Although, if someone is even the least bit nice to him, he tends to be over-trusting, which gets him in trouble. He's easily tricked and doesn't understand sarcasm at all. He lets others push him around and walk all over him. He doesn't make decisions easily, needing time to think things out. However, he's highly focused and will sit there and do something until it's finished. He hates to leave things half-done. He enjoys learning and reading, so he's a rather clever little thing. Silver avoids conflicts at all costs. Arguing stresses him out to no end, so he tends to run away from his problems. He allows others to tell him what to do and lets them win every argument, even if he's clearly right. Silver can't hold his feelings in at all. He's raw. His eyes portray everything and he's completely see-through. He keeps nothing secret if asked. Regardless of being harassed in the past, Silver doesn't hold grudges. He believes that everyone has a little bit of good in them, even if they never show it. He's a fragile and kind little wolf. He's known to over-react at times, but that's just because he can't hold his emotions in. He's down on himself a lot, and generally isn't very happy. This makes him rather pessimistic and he always expects the worst. He's very passive and takes whatever life throws at him without a protest. He obeys all authoritative (and even some non-authoritative) figures without question. He's cautious and known to worry a lot. Though, he really is a sweet little canine. He just needs a chance and someone to care for him and tell him everything is okay and he's not as horrible as he makes himself out to be. He has many dreams, but no ambition to chase them, due to the fact that he does not believe in himself. He's also extremely sentimental, known to keep even the most silly things when he wants to remember something clearly. Relationship-wise, he's clingy and needs someone that can reassure and protect him. A relationship would do him well though, because he needs that support to hopefully blossom and realize that he's actually a talented and kindhearted wolf who could do a lot for the world if only he'd try.

Background/History:

~And no one ever believed in me.~
Silver sat with the other pups, but he felt no connection to them. Even though he was sitting in the middle of them, he was isolated and disliked. He was called girly and soft after they had heard him in the music lesson. Now he paid no attention to the history of how this city had come to be. There he sat, his ears low and eyes cast downwards at his paws. He knew his parents wanted him to do well in the year of school required for city residents, but he couldn't focus anymore. Why couldn't he just have kept quiet? Even though before that he still wasn't liked much because of his kind and submissive nature. Now he was just someone to make fun of and laugh at. It was rather cruel how pups got their amusement, through harassment and bullying, but it couldn't be helped in a society like this. No one in this city cared for how one little pup was treated. They only cared for the famous and the popular. The ones in power and the ones who made a difference. With Silver's current reputation, he couldn't do anything he figured. He'd never be accepted, so why try?

Finally it was after class. Silver walked down the rough pathway home, not bothering to rush. His parents would ask, 'What did you learn?' and he would just lie, because he didn't pay attention. All he could think about was that he wanted to get away from the cruel pups that made fun of him all of the time. Why him? Because he was different from all those other aggressive, dominant, proud males. He just watched the grey sidewalk go by as he walked. He didn't bother to look up at anything, there wasn't much to look at in this dull city. This city was a place for wolves and other canines to live in, it was constructed only a few years ago, but was already busy. There weren't buildings like the humans had, exactly, but there were many caves and dens, some crafted by nature and some crafted by the wolves. There were still trees and things around, but the wolves lined paths for them to walk on with stones among the grass. It was interesting, but Silver didn't really like it much. There were a lot of places to hang out and eat, but a lot of the wolves around were self-centered and mean. With advanced society, the old canine morals of packs and companionship and brotherhood seemed to just fade away.

Then Silver felt a shove. He let out a gasp and stumbled to the side. Looking up with hurt, shimmering eyes, he saw a bunch of his harassers in front of him, their eyes narrowed in a teasing way.

"Hey look! It's girly-voice!" one of them laughed.

"Ha! He won't do anything to deny it, he's so weak."

"What a pathetic little male, he can't even do anything."

"Girly, Girly!"

Silver felt tears sting at his eyes, his heart heavy with hurt.

"Why are you so cruel to me..." Silver whispered, turning and dashing away towards home. Their mean laughter echoed in his head as he ran, tears streaming down his face. He skidded to a halt in front of the place he called home. A small place surrounded by trees where he slept with his parents. His mother came out with a smile, which quickly fell into a frown.

"Oh, baby, what's the matter?" she gasped upon seeing Silver's sad state.

"Th-The kids at class made fun of me a-again..." Silver sobbed. His mother's mouth twisted regretfully, she couldn't do anything to stop it.

"Come in, Silver. Please..." his mother said. Silver walked into his home, still crying. His father saw him and lowered his ears, knowing exactly what was wrong. Silver often came home like this. His parents came to his sides, laying their chins on him comfortingly. They stood together until Silver's sobbing subsided. His mother disappeared behind one of the trees and returned with a collar in her mouth. Softly, she clipped it around his neck.

"Always remember that we love you." his mother said. Even with his collar, Silver felt he didn't belong. But he was still grateful for it.

~I can see that you don't really mean that.~
It was a few years later, and since then, Silver had grown into a rather... small wolf. He grew his bangs out so that they usually covered one of his eyes and he had a very fluffy tail. Regardless, he was small compared to the other wolves. Not that it mattered much anymore. He didn't have to go to social gatherings anymore. He didn't live with his parents and spend most of his time alone outside of the city. He often swam in and sat by a small lake outside of the city. He liked to read the scrolls that he got from the library, other than that he didn't do much.

On this day, he sat by the lake and stared at his reflection, wondering why he couldn't just be like all the other males. Aggressive and assertive. Strong and brave. Why not him? He was flimsy and creative. Soft and kind. He glared at his reflection, acting as if it was all his image's fault. Suddenly, he felt rain. His fur was quickly soaked through and he became cold. Shivering, he stood up and pinned his ears back, beginning to run back to the city so he could take shelter. It was just his luck for the rain to start while he was sitting outside. He ran along the path, passing many canines who hung under the trees. The social caves were roaring with noise, because of the rain he supposed. All of the sudden, something tripped him and he fell into a puddle with an 'oof'. Gritting his teeth, he looked up to see a bunch of cackling males.

"Check it out, it's the weakling of the city." one of them said. Nothing that Silver hadn't heard before.

"Look at his collar, it could fetch a nice price, don't you think?"

"Let's get it! He can't do anything about it." Silver's heart cracked in half at those words. He didn't want to lose the collar his mother gave him, it was the only thing he truly cherished.

"Please don't..." he whimpered, but it was too late. They were already snapping at him, laughing, stepping on his tail and paws. They were just messing with him, since he couldn't defend himself. He didn't want to defend himself. So Silver just lay there in the puddle as his body stung and ached with the nips and kicks, dreading the moment they got bored and actually hurt him. Then they were going to take his collar. Could there be a worse day than this?

"What's the matter, girly? Can't defend yourself or something? Hahaha!"

Silver just let out a high-pitched whimper and continued to take the beating, his eyes squeezed shut in pain.

"HEY." A booming, deep voice cut through the air. The beating stopped. Silver's head shot up with a gasp. A strange wolf-like canine with headphones and weird floating tattoos was lowered into an aggressive position, his sharp teeth bared intimidatingly. "Stop messing with him, what's your issue?" The canine had eyes like black holes, Silver couldn't get over it. He just stared in awe.

"W-We... U-u-uh..." the wolves stuttered.

"We were just leaving!" And with that, the gang dashed away. The dog that saved him straightened up, and looked down upon Silver with an uncaring expression.

"I haven't seen you around before." the dog commented in a monotone. There was a long pause, Silver still awe-stricken. "Are you just going to lay there? It's raining." Silver snapped out of it and stumbled to his feet.

"Sorry..." Silver mumbled, his ears low.

"Sorry? For what?" the dog asked, still looking like he didn't care one bit, but Silver saw past that. Silver's ears angled forward curiously. This dog looked like he had been through a lot.

"What's y-your name?" was all Silver could ask. This dog was so interesting, he couldn't explain it.

"What?" the dog's eyes widened, like no one had ever treated him like a potential friend before.

"Your... name?" Silver gulped.

".......Usually dogs are too intimidated by me to ask that." the dog smirked, "You aren't a weakling after all... I'm Tempo. You?"

Silver smiled a little bit, this dog... Tempo... didn't treat him badly. "I'm Silver." he said softly.

"Hm." the dog said, then turned and began to walk away. Silver's eyes widened and he dashed after Tempo.

"Are you already leaving?" Silver asked.

"What? Did you want to be friends or something?" Tempo looked at Silver from the corner of his eye.

"Well, yes." Silver said hesitantly. Though Tempo's expression didn't change, he saw something spark in his eyes. He wanted a friend just as much as Silver did. Silver guessed it was lonely being intimidating. This dog had many weird things. A glowing tattoo, floating tribal markings, weird spike projections and headphones he always wore to make it look like he wasn't listening. But in reality, Silver could see he was lonely.

"I guess you can hang with me." Tempo sighed, leading Silver to a food-cave. Inside, Tempo asked for two orders of rabbit and water with herbal supplements. They sat down together at one of the stump tables, awaiting their food and allowing their fur to dry. "So why do you just let them push you around?" Tempo said nonchalantly.

"Because... I can't do anything about it. I'm small. I'm weak... And everyone calls me girly..." Silver's eyes sparkled with sadness as he looked down at his paws. Tempo's ears perked forward in surprise. This wolf had no secrets, he just revealed everything. Tempo would never do anything like that...

"Oh..." Was all Tempo said. The food arrived and they ate in silence. Afterwards, they walked out of the cavern and the rain had stopped. They stood together for a while, then Tempo began to walk again. Silver followed.

"Are you just going to follow me?" Tempo asked, his eyes narrowing a bit.

"O-Oh! Does it bother you? I just... have no where to go..." Silver said, stopping. Tempo walked a few steps, then turned and looked at the small wolf.

"You can come." Tempo answered. Silver looked up with a smile.

"Really?"

"Yes. You don't want to get pushed around anymore, do you?"

"N-No."

"Then come on."

As they walked, Tempo got many frightened stares. The dogs cleared a path for Tempo wherever he walked. Not out of respect, but out of fear. Silver couldn't help but feel terrible. Even though Tempo got whatever he wanted and had no problems, it must be lonely just flat-out being feared. Silver was about to speak up and say something, but Tempo stopped in front of a circle of trees.

"This is my home." Tempo said.

"Oh... I'll leave now then... I guess.." Silver turned, his tail and ears low, beginning to walk away.

"You don't have to go." Silver froze in his tracks, heart skipping a beat. "You can stay with me." Tempo said in his deep, monotone voice. Quivering, Silver didn't know what to do or what to say. A male? Wanting him to stay?

"I-I-I..." Silver stuttered, it was strange. He actually wanted to. Did that mean...? No! They'd just met! They were just friends! Or at least... he thought they were friends.

"Like... a sleep over?" Silver said, not turning around.

"Sort of. Do you want to or not?" Tempo asked apathetically.

"Y-Yeah." Silver turned around smiling. He followed the dog inside and they lay down away from each other. Silver watched as Tempo removed his headphones and lay them down in between them. Suddenly, music began to play from it. Silver's eyes widened in awe.

"Wow... How...?" Silver breathed. Tempo shook his head.

"I'm not a normal canine." Silver looked up into Tempo's galaxy-black eyes. He wasn't ready to speak of his past.

"Oh..." Silver remained quiet, simply enjoying the music for a while, but soon, he began to sing along. His voice flowed throughout the quiet city as dusk began to overtake the day. Many looked up, wondering where that beautiful sound came from. No one knew it was the very wolf they always made fun of. Tempo's eyes widened in surprise. This singing. How could this city make fun of such a talented wolf?

Soon, the dark swallowed the city and Silver had passed out. Tempo watched as he slept, then looked to the sky. Thanks for sending him.... Tempo thought, then laid his head down and fell asleep.

The two outcasts had finally found a friend.
Truly odd isn't it? A bully befriending a victim.
But sometimes, that's just what they need.

Use:
Silver would be a much-loved character. He's going to be a companion for Tempo, who is mentioned a lot in this form. I'd get art of him and maybe possibly RP him, if I find a good partner? I don't know if I'd write more about him, but it's highly possible, since I have not yet written a background for Tempo. ^^ Silver would be in Tempo's background if I get to writing it. He'd have a home in my character thread and never be forgotten. <3 I'd also draw him, even though I'm not that good at drawing. ^^ I really love the design too, those colors go so well together. <3 And I love hair... xD

EDIT: After writing this. ^ I'm probably going to write more about Tempo and Silver if I get him. It was a lot of fun. xD

[FallenFromStBarts]

Ninjustu- The history you gave Silver was amazing. I think it would be awesome if you made a whole story for Silver. :3

[keydemon]

Awwh, thank you so much! x3 I was thinking about it, if I win him. ^^

[Offended Cockatiel]

Ninjitsu you will not be winning Silver at all as you didn't read the requirments of her. Please do go read because with what you wrote it is against the requirments and they are not changabe I have asked the maker to double check.
