I am looking to adopt...

Solo Boy

Image


Kennel number: P1
Name: Trinity .Solo.
Breed: American Wild Dog
Gender: Male

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
Honestly, I've wanted this character for a while now. He's absolutely stunning, which is great, amazing, even. But that's not why I wanted him. Not really, anyway. I look at him and I see strength, and it inspires me. I see honesty, pride, flaws, greatness, boldness, and entirety. I see him, and I know I need him. I see him as a father, a friend, and a nobel hero... Even if he doesn't want to be one. I see a story, and I know. I know he needs a home.

Personality:

Thoughtful.
Trinity tends to think about things before he acts. He likes to look at the possible outcomes - planning ahead. Sometimes this can get him into real trouble (depending on just how long considering these things takes), but sometimes he lucks out and it helps him and his friends a great deal. He would probably be the most brilliant member of the team of three. His thoughtfulness may annoy a few, but he knows that they will get over it. Trinity figures that his gift could save that individual's life one day.
Rebellious.
If the outcome possibilities are safe, then Trinity can turn into a real rebel. If his friends mention something that they don't like; for example, if he decides to sing a song that they don't like. If one of his buddies tells him that his song is annoying, he'll go out of his way to sing it as loud and off key as possible. That is really only a light form of his rebelliousness. Kujaku could warn him not to go inside an enemy's home. He would do it, just to prove to her that he can take care of himself. This would be the one time he wasn't thinking rationally.
Independant.
Trinity is one to do things on his own. He doesn't need anyone to tell him how to do something, he can take care of it himself. He is one that would usually prefer to be a loner, if there was no other choice. It's not that he can't bond with other people, he just chooses not to. He believes that it would all be a bother to have ones close to him telling him how to do this or that all the time. So, he stays to himself. He's just off the bank of antisocial. He'll go to a party or something of the sort if it's necessary, but usually, he prefers to be by himself.
Negative.
This canine has quite the attitude of a downer. Trinity refuses to try to "brighten someone's day" or "lift their spirits." He can't even lift his own, so why on earth try to make someone else happy? Not only is he sad towards others, but often to himself. He's always thinking that he's not good enough, or that he's a terrible person. Because of this, he often comes off as angry and rude, so not many wish to spend their free time with him. This is fine with Trinity. He could care less what his peers do in their time.
Impatient.
Trinity can barely keep his paws still in a time of danger. If something big is going to happen, he wants it done now, and not sometime else. An example of his irritation is how people used to claim that the "end of the world was coming in 2012." Before the time, he would be ornery and couldn't even stand still if someone mentioned it. He was nearly torn apart when the year rolled around and nothing of the sort happened at all. It was all he could do to not tear apart the ones that told him it was going to happen. All that waiting for nothing, he says.
Trustworthy.
Though not many people tell him anything, if you do decide to tell Trinity a secret, he'll protect it with his heart. Most of the time this strings from the habit of putting shields over his own, but sometimes he realizes that secrets are the most painful things that the Lord had created, and they are the ones that everyone looks for in others just to make them feel broken. Even if he may not care very much about the individual that has told him the precious thought or deed done, he knows that someone out there does care about them, and if he ever told the thought, the one who cares... might not anymore. Trinity cannot imagine a worse fate for someone, so he keeps his mouth shut - for their sake.
Yelling Character.
If Trinity disagrees with something and is ignored, he will yell until he is heard and acknowledged, even if it is disagreed. At sports games, he will yell. At parties or raves (that he really would rather not be at) he will yell. At meetings (if he was ever invited to one) he would yell. He yells a lot... Though many don't seem to care. Usually it's not annoying to them, because his voice is so pretty, even in a louder stance. His voice is whole and exciting. The funny thing is that no matter how much he uses it... It never seems to get scratchy or give out.
Stubborn.
Trinity always tries his best to get his way. He'll go to the end of the rope just to have his ideas considered. He realizes that he can't have it his way every single time, but if he knows what he wants is for the greater good, or at least someone's greatest good, he will push through until the very end until he is noticed. It is a slightly different story if he says "no" to someone or something, and yet it presses further. He will not budge. This is why you do not argue with Trinity.
Observant.
Trinity takes in the world around him. He sees every side of every story, and he seems to see the inside of every person. If he's talking to someone about something personal, often they claim "it was like he was seeing into my soul." He likes to know how things work, how they move and grow. If someone wants a fortune or a future sight, they drag themselves over to see him, though he denies them every time. Though people come to him, he refuses to give them what they want.
Loyal.
If Trinity does happen to make a friend, he will stay close to them. He would never betray them, never harm them, never damage them in any way. He would be the truest anyone has ever been to a friend. This does not happen often for him, the making of people he would actually like to be around, which is why seeing his nice side is so very rare. The reason being is because if he makes friends, he wants them to love him just like he loves them, if not more. He needs loyalty as well, and cannot survive without it.
Opinionated.
It is probably clear by now that Trinity has rather... Protective thoughts, and when he has them, he voices them. Quite loudly. Yes, this wild dog has his various opinions, and is sure to make them heard whenever possible. If someone asks for advice, usually he is more than happy to answer, depending on whether or not he despises the particular person. Trinity knows that even though his opinion is not always right and may not always be followed, that his is somehow... The best, anyway. He can live with someone else getting their way time to time, though he tries his best not to let that happen. He is one for himself, and tries his best to do to others what he'd have them do for him - Protection.

Likes:

{Music ♫}
Music is what makes Trinity's world spin 'round. Deceptive, deeply felt bands like Three Days Grace, Fall out Boy, and Evanescence make him who he is today - maybe even something more. He respects them, loves them, and strives to be exactly what they stand for, individuality.

{Making something happen ♥}
Trinity wants to change specific things in the world. He wants to make a difference, even if he doesn't show it. He is who he is to make others change their view on people like him. He wants to be treated the same as everyone else, for other's sake. You can't tell, but he spends most of his time acting for other people.

{People listening ⚓}
Trinity loves it when people listen to him and his opinion. In fact, if someone completely ignores him, he will threaten them until they do. He may even act on it. He feels he needs to be listened to, recognized, or he will stop breathing.

{Giving Advice ❀}
When he feels like it, Trinity likes to give advice. He knows he's good at it, and he knows others need it for their benefit, so he figures, why not?

{Honey ☼}
Since he was born, Trinity has kind of come up with an addiction for honey. He loves the texture, loves the taste, won't stop talking about the smell, and everything else about it. He often jokes about stealing some from Winnie the Pooh, because of course that chubby old bear wouldn't mind a bit.

{Rain ⚓}
Trinity loves the feel of drizzling rain on his fur. He loves the smell of it too. It makes him feel as if the world is at peace.

Dislikes:

{Being ignored ✘}
Someone purposely not listening to Trinity could get themselves into real trouble. He's a mean one, he is, when it comes to that. Trinity demands to be listened to, at least once, before anything is decided. He always has something or another to say.

{Death ✄}
The act of dying scares the fleas of this little Wild dog. He wishes that he could never die, so that he could never find out what happens after dying. He figures that if what he believes is wrong, everything that he's done here on earth means nothing.

{Lightning ϟ}
The shock in the sky is what Trinity despises the most. He knows nothing of what it's made of or why it's there, but it looks evil to him, and he would do anything to have it gone forever.

{Sadness ☹}
Seeing other people upset (that he cares about) really makes something stir inside Trinity's heart. He hates seeing people in pain, it always makes his memories dance their way back to him. He tries to make it seem like he doesn't care about their anger, but he really does. Sometimes he can't help but act out towards them, try to make them feel loved.

{Lies ☮}
Trinity would not be able to stand looking at you if you lied to him even one time. It is the dirtiest of all deeds to him. He would anything but befriend you if you told him a false truth. Depending on how much he disliked you, or even loved you, he may give you deep wounds. He figures you wounded him worst of all, why should it matter if you are in pain. At this time, he feels nothing for your sadness.

Other: I aplogize, but I've lost inspiration for the other two.
I guess it's just me and Trinity for now, 'eh? <3



History/Background:
Note: This story was written while Trinity was in anthro form.

I grew up without a home.

There were six of us in the alley. My mother; Tera. My uncle; Luke. Luke's boy; Benjamin. Luke's oldest daughter; Sophia. And- his youngest girl; Annie. Plus me, Trinity. We were all thrown out of my mother's home when I was only months old. World War III had displaced us. I used to have a father. Luke used to have a wife. I used to have a brother. This all changed when it became the beginning of the end.

None of us were exactly sure how the war started. The government would not reveal their secrets to the public. And anyway, if they did, my family would surely be the last to know. Though news travels fast, it travels last to the homeless. What we knew was that our America had allegiance with Japan and Russia, while China and Canada were also set with Brazil and Indonesia. In the New York City streets, we constantly had bombings and deaths. My father, brother and aunt were scurrying back from stealing some fresh fruit and vegetables they'd stolen from a reserved park for us, when they were shot.

I remember watching the first bomb drop.

I was only five years old, huddling for warmth at the edge of our alley next to my mother. She was holding a paper cup that had the writing "money and food for prayers" on the side of it in inky, scribbled handwriting. Her hand was shaking. We were freezing in her wrap and our sweaters. We had tattered knee-shorts as well. It had been November sixth. My ears perked up and my eyes went wide every time someone new walked by. I had to stop to admire them. They must've been extra special to have been able to keep their home.

Every once in a while someone would drop a couple nickles in. Maybe a quarter, or even a dollar bill. There was next to nothing in the cup that day. A couple of pennies, a dime. We would not be fed today.

Just as I thought this, a little girl holding her father's hand walked by. Her eyes flickered to us, which made her stop cold. "Daddy," she said quietly, tugging on his jacket sleve only once. He turned, and lowered his eyes to our faces. His expression was unclear. He didn't know whether to frown or smile in pity. Sighing, he pulled his wallet out of his pocket, dropping a twenty dollar bill in our cup. My mother gasped, and glanced in the cup. She pulled out the slip of green, as if she couldn't believe it to be true. Either could I.

Her green eyes teared, sparkling, and standing out against her pale and dirty fur. "Th-Thank you," she sobbed quietly. I smiled greatfully at them, as my mother couldn't. As the man was about to turn away, the girl pulled on his sleeve once more. He paused. The child pulled off her wool fleeced winter coat, and held it out to me.

"Becka," the father said, surprised, and reached out to take the jacket back. But the look his daughter, Becka, gave him, made him stop. "Very well."

She smiled back to me, and I snatched it up quickly. I was on the verge of tears myself. "Thank you," I mouthed.

She whispered back, "You're welcome."

They turned to leave, heading down the block. I watched them for as far as my eyes could see. Sighing, I smiled down at the jacket in my hands. I put it on greatfully, and sat for only a moment before she screamed.

"EVERYONE, BACK! IT'S CHINA AIRFORCE!"

I looked up at the noise. Up ahead were dark planes, planes with China's flag symbol on them. Mother swooped me up and hurdled me as far back into the alley as possible along with my uncle and cousins. I huddled with them as I watched the bombs drop, drop, drop...

I want Eclipse Sparkle for many reasons.One reason is her design.It's somewhat simple but it looks so amazing on her with the colors and everything.I also can't get enough of that beautiful design on her on the east of her back,it adds color and creativeness.The white dots remind me of snow blowing in the wind,or maybe a group of stars.I have never had a horse character ever before.I have had cats,wolves,and dogs.I don't think I've had any other animals as characters/fursonas.Her white mane and tail tie all the colors together into one beautiful design.What would I do for her?Well,first of all I am not good at drawing horses.So I would practice with her a on my horse anatomy and draw her often.I would also order art of her to put in my signature and the thread that I would make her. <3

Eclipse will stand up to anything no matter how big or scary it is.

Shy
Eclipse can be shy around other ones,especially if they are strangers.

History/Background:
Eclipse Sparkle awoke to the soft buzzing of the bees.She smiled.Though she didn't like bees much,she thought that it was something nice to wake up to.She yawned before she stood up.Before leaving,she had to give the meadow one last glance.It was so pretty that it almost broke her heart to leave it.After looking around,she trotted off without looking back.Eclipse was a traveler,she went around to different places to look for a good living area.Somewhere with other horses,somewhere were she could raise a family,somewhere were she could fall in love.
******
After running for awhile,she found a forest clearing.There wasn't much sun there,there was just a small amount of sunshine glimmering though the tree tops.There was a good amount of horses there.Maybe a herd?Eclipse wanted to ask them if they were travelers,but she was to shy.She could be a disturbance to them,or maybe they could attack her,but she doubted that would happen.

Antioch.

Postby ! october » Fri Jul 22, 2011 11:04 am

I am looking to treasure...


Image



Kennel number:
    F55.
Name:
    Antioch.
Breed:
    Smili; Jungle Smili.
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:

At first, I really wasn't interested in having a Smili of my own. I critiqued friends' forms, 'stalked' the species thread, and admired the ones that Spotty donated to TaN; but I never really connected with the species well enough to actually want one. Recently, however, I've become much more involved with them, and as I learn more and more about the species, I'm growing to really, really like them. When I saw Antioch, I was instantly in love with him. To me, there was something different about him compared to the other Smili, something that made me want to actually be able to call him my own rather than just admire him from a distance. Anti is absolutely gorgeous, and i feel that I connect with him very, very well.

If I were to have the honor of calling this precious character my own; there are a multitude of things that I would do for him. I stopped his history at the place I did so that there could be much opportunity for a variety of stories and RPs. I've already talked to a fellow Smili owner about doing a 1x1 RP if I were to win him, and there are many others that I would love to ask as well. Antioch would be drawn quite often and would be given a place in the character site that I'm currently making. He would be loved and treasured; as a character like him deserves no less. <3


Personality:

Protective -

Broken -

Curious -

Hopeful -

Naive - The Jungle Smili are not as enlightened as other subspecies, such as the Pompeii Smili, and this shows in Antioch. Though intelligent and able to problem solve; Anti doesn't really know much about the world around him, and views most things in the way any other animal would. He's learning as meets others and travels, yes; but it would take someone who's more than just a fellow Jungle Smili to truly teach Anti about the marvelous world around him.

Neutral - Though he doesn't always succeed at it, Antioch tries to remain apathetic towards others for fear of getting close to someone and having them leave/die in the way his brother did. Being a social creature, he certainty doesn't like trying to keep his distance from others; but his fear of witnessing another death outweighs his longing for companionship.

Brave -


Likes:

Eli - Antioch's brother, his twin, his closest friend, his partner, his beloved; Eli meant the world to him. Antioch was wholly devoted to Eli, loved him more than anyone else; and ended up broken because of his attachments to the other male.

Bird - The macaw that followed Antioch during his time alone in the jungle was the Smili's only companion. Though 'Bird,' as Anti dubbed him, was old, ragged, and unsightly; he was someone that that Smili could talk on and on to, that couldn't talk back or tell him of how useless he was. Antioch appreciated that.

High Places - This Smili feels the most safe and powerful when he's high above the ground. Trees are preferred, as they offer an opportunity for climbing; another of Anti's favorite activities.

Warmth and Sunshine - Antioch greatly enjoys simply laying high up in a tree an soaking in the warmth of the sun. His short, sleek fur isn't very effective at keeping heat in, so he has to rely on his enviroment to provide it for him. The jungle, thankfully, is quite good at such things, and Anti rarely has to put up with the cold.

Hunting - The thrill that comes with hunting is something that Antioch greatly enjoys. Since he is quite often alone with no one to provide for him, he's forced to hunt and be active rather than lazy like most Smili. Stalking and pouncing and climbing are all quite fun to Anti; he's grown to see hunting as a source of both food and play.

Dreaming - Antioch likes to imagine that someday he'll have someone again, that mabey they could find some way to take in the cubs of another Smili and raise them as their own. He knows that the liklihood of him ever being able to completely heal and have a family is quite slim, but he still likes to dream and hope.

The Jungle - Antioch is most at ease in the jungle; surrounded by vibrant foliage and damp air. Open places agitate him, he greatly prefers being trapped in by trees and vines and ferns.

Traveling - Since he has no real understanding of death, Antioch believes that his brother is simply elsewhere, and that if he looks far enough, he may find him again someday. He, therefore, no matter where he is, always wants to be somewhere else, because mabey that somewhere else is where is brother is.


Dislikes:

The Cold - Due to his short, sleek fur, made for repelling water in the wet jungle; Antioch can get cold quite easily when he strays too far from his home on the equator. Being cold makes him absolutely miserable, but is also able to clear his mind. When his hallucinations cause him to wander, ending up in colder areas never fails to break the strange cloudiness that overtakes his thoughts, and forces him to head back to the warmth of the jungle before being further led away.

The Dark - Antioch has fairly bad night vision. Though by his hearing alone he can do just fine in the dark, being unable to see makes him agitated and skittish.

Running - Like most Smili, Antioch is quite bad at running. His size and physical stature cause him to be highly awkward while moving quickly, and he hates expending his energy in such ways.

Death - Antioch does not understand death, and therefore fears and hates it. He sees death as being an evil being that takes those you love far, far away; the kind of enemy that you can't fight off, that you can't defend yourself or those you love against.

Sleeping - Since he has become so used to falling asleep curled around his brother, Antioch is very uncomfortable with sleeping alone. His nights are usually full of nightmares about Eli's suffering, and Antioch has grown to hate sleep because of the memories it brings to the surface.

His First Tribe - Antioch will forever hold a grudge against his original tribe for not doing anything to prevent his brother's death. They, of course, could do nothing to help the dying Smili, and perhaps part of Antioch knows this, but he refuses to accept it. He would rather hate and blame others than move forward from the memories of Eli's death that he is so caught up in.



History/Background:

A tribe of Smili crowds around a single female, curious, eager to see their newest kin. The mother, happy to show off her cubs, extends a paw, lightly touching the larger of her two sons; a figiting, very orange little creature. "He shall be called Antioch," she says, already proud of how strong the cub is, the crowd murmuring excitedly, thinking the same about the cub as her. He'll grow to be powerful, a fact that they're certain of. The other cub, however ... "And he'll be Eli," she continues with less enthusiasm, wrinkling her nose as she sniffs her tiny, barely moving son. Her tribemates just look away. There's no need to voice what they’re all thinking.

By the time Eli and I were old enough to return to my mother’s tribe I was quite large for a cub, apparently, strong even as youngling. My mother and the tribe, of course, approved.
Eli, however, was quite different. My brother was tiny, weak, and ill right from the start. I didn't understand, at first, why my mother took care of me better than she did my brother. He wouldn't survive, so she didn't waste much time on him, now I know. Perhaps, if her instincts had told her otherwise, Eli would have had a better chance.

In a blur of orange the cub leaps on his brother, fangs bared playfully and tail lashing in enthusiasm. "Antioch, don't do that!" the trapped plaintively mewls; not even trying to fight back, but rather squirming under his brother's large paws in a feeble attempt to escape.
"You're supposed to claw back!" is the only response Eli gets, coughing weakly as he lays still in submission. Antioch jumps back, then, confused. "Why don't you like playing? If you would stop coughing and wheezing, you could play more," he encourages, neon eyes shining as his mother, sitting at a distance, nods in approval.
"Alright, Anti-" the smaller starts to respond, losing his voice as the other once again knocks him over.


I didn't get it, back then. I didn't understand death; that it was waiting for each of us, some sooner than others. I didn't understand how close my brother was to that dark place. Rather, I had only the feather-light mind of a young cub, happy to only play and sleep and eat and play. I didn't think of consequences, not once, not ever. Pleasing my mother mattered to me, and she seemed to like it when I play-fought Eli in order to show off my strength. True strength isn't shown through fighting, though.

Pride; deep, deep pride fills the female's eyes as her son deposits a little rodent at her paws. For a moment he mutters about how pathetic it is, how he wishes he could have done better, but she silences him by touching her muzzle to his head.
"You did well, my son," are her only words, moving back then to devour the prey. The young Smili's brother watches from a distance, at the edge of the tribe, smiling in a sad manner. He hasn't caught anything, and the tribe knows that he won't.


Providing for the tribe felt good. After catching rodents for some time I moved on to birds, and then began to hunt larger prey with some of the others. Eli was never included. I, of course, spent time with him separately. Thought he was weak, he could still scale trees, and the two of us spent many afternoons laying high above the ground, just talking. He was precious to me, more precious to me than anyone else, and I loved him. More than the way a brother would normally love a brother. No longer a cubs, the other Smili our age had begun to express interest in those of the opposite gender. For some reason, I was content with just my brother, and he was happy to be with me as well.

"Come on, Eli, you can do this," Antioch encourages, expression creasing with concern as he blinks down at the Smili trying to climb the tree. 'He rarely has this much trouble,’ the orange furred Smili can't help but think, leaning down to haul up his brother by the scruff of his neck when he's close enough. Panting with exhaustion, the smaller of the two leans heavily against the other, catching his breath as the setting sun paints the jungle with brilliant colors. "Thanks," he murmurs quietly, not moving away, eyes half-shut. Antioch nods in response, settling down on the wide branch, surveying the ground below.
"Are you alright, Eli?"
The smaller 'huffs' in amusment, smiling softly. "Of course, Anti. I have you, I'll always be alright."
Nothing else needs to be said.


I based my world on him. Not that that's bad, most Smili that pair off seem to see each other as the most important thing alive. Though the 'right' thing would have been for me to love a female, my mind didn't work that way. I loved another male, and that was fine. The problem was that the male I loved was not fine. As I grew stronger, Eli grew weaker. I learned to fight off creatures that might try to prey on us, and Eli stayed back at whatever was serving as our nomadic tribe's temporary home.
After a while, he could no longer climb trees with me. I couldn't even teach him to hunt. I grew in strength, and he deteriorated.
Finally, after many seasons, the day that changed me forever came.

The day of his passing is somewhat like the day of his birth. Many of the tribe crowd around him, prodding him with paws, curious as to why he moans in response, trying to shift away. They don't understand, cannot comprehend why anyone would want to just lay on the ground like that, curled into a little, panting ball. His mother is out hunting, not caring, but she's never cared, so that is to be expected. The only Smili that seems to know any compassion in those moments is Antioch; laying next to his brother, whispering on and on to him, unable to help with the pain but wishing that he could take it all away.
Knowing that his time is near, Eli turns to his brother after a while, voice barely audible as he whispers, "I'll miss you, Anti. Please, live."
He doesn't speak again.


I was confused. Very, very confused. I knew that my brother had 'gone,' but I didn't know where he had went. Death was foreign to me, and I didn't understand what had happened to Eli. Not even the elders could explain what had happened, other than he couldn't stay here because he was so ill. So I, naive and without ties to my tribe, decided to go find him.
He would have done the same for me, I'm sure.

-

Antioch wanders, now. Not understanding death, he believes that his brother is simply somewhere else in the world, and that if he looks far enough, he'll be with Eli again. Currently he's staying with a different tribe, and has lived with others, Jungle and otherwise, in the past. As he grows older, his longing to settle down somewhere with another male and 'have cubs" grows, but his ties to his brother remain, and even though he's growing to know that Eli simply cannot be found, he's much too devoted to break those ties. His quest for knowledge will continue though, until he's found what he's looking for, or it's forced to a stop.


Art:

In all honesty; I didn't finish the picture that I started in time for judging. I can guarantee, though, that if this works out the way I pray it does, Anti shall be drawn very, very often in the future. c:

Other:

Thank you to Spotty for having been willing to design and donate this precious boy. <3
And thank you to whoever reads this form for considering me; I've fallen in love with character [probably more than I should have] and I'm so very thankful for this opportunity to call him my own. <3

Re: Pound of Hope [OPEN FOR OUR 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!]

Postby Moynea » Fri Jul 22, 2011 11:09 am

I am looking to adopt...
Picture: Image
Kennel number: P12
Name:
Paint
Breed:
Fluffy
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:.
He's been around for a while and I've always liked him. I took a glance at him and immediately knew I loved him and knew exactly what he was like. I love how the teal and blue look against the dark gray, he is very eye-catching. The first thing I thought was "Adorable!".
I will be sure to buy art for him, and draw art of him myself (though I'm not the best ever artist). I will definitely RP him, as I do that will all of my chars. I'll do everything I can and won't let him sit in a corner and get dusty. Thanks to him I'll make a character thread to put him in along with my two fursonas.
Personality:
Paint is very adorable, but hates people who call him cute, adorable, or small. If you do, you'll never gain his trust again. He has a remarkable memory and holds on to grudges well. Eventually, he will get you back. He doesn't like making friends or talking, and often slinks off from places where there are many people. He prefers to live alone, cut off from other people who he believes will influence his fighting skills and toughness. He is aggressive and will attack if provoked, though he is laid-back and doesn't attack unless necessary.
Although it is very tricky to gain his trust, and requires countless acts of kindness and bravery, if you do, you'll find a friend in him. He is loyal and will fight to the death, and will mumble a few words of conversation. A friendship with him would take much work, and to see his true soft side you'll need to gain his entire trust, which often takes years. Even one betrayal or small act of hate will shatter the friendship and you'll need to start from a spot even lower then how you began.
Beyond friendship, if you are lucky enough to earn his love, you'll be astounded at how sensitive he actually is. He love to watch rain and butterflies, and this is what he does for most of the day, watching the world go by as he sits, lonely, in his den. Although he pretends not to have crushes, he often does, and admires her from a distance, never speaking to her, waiting for her to approach. When he has a crush, he spends a lot of time thinking about her, planning how to approach her, though he never does, thinking about her beauty in his head. When he does get a mate, he is very loving, pouring out all the caring feelings in him into his mate. He loves any flufflings, and is very playful. However, he is also extremely protective and watchful of his mate or pups, and unusually aggressive to anyone who approaches them.
Likes:
Rain
Paint loves to watch the rain, whether it's pounding on the ground, mixing the dirt to mud outside his den, or drizzle dripping off a leaf. He also like to examine dew, and the tiny reflections he sees in them. He is fascinated by the way they stay in little balls, and loves the way his fur smells after rolling in wet grass.
Flufflings
Paint is unusually playful around flufflings (young Fluffys), whether they're his or not. He is eager to help with anything to do with them. He often thinks about having his own flufflings, and wonders what they would look like.
His Crush
Paint spends much time admiring and thinking about his crushes, though never approaches them. He often puts their appearance into his imaginary flufflings, and is very defensive of them, whether they're being physically atatcked or insulted.
Play-Fighting
Although Paint doesn't like real fighting, he loves to play-fight. It makes him feel brave and noble, though he's shy at heart. He loves to pretend, and is extremely fluffling-like when he does so, acting out humans and being defeated, though he prefers being on the winning side.
Dislikes:
Insults
Paint's largest dislike is being insulted. He will rip any person who insults him to shreds, and proceed on to their family, though he is normally not a fighting kind of Fluffy. His version of being insulted is a bit odd, as he hates being called "cute", "adorable", or "tiny".
Fighting
Although Paint is a big fan of play-fighting, he hates to fight for real. He has to be pushed hard to fight, and only fights for a reason. When he does fight, he is extremely good due to his tough history and passion.
Betrayal
Paint shatters when he is betrayed. He won't be able to think straight for days, and once he gets his head back on, he'll find the betrayer and most likely kill them and their family.
History/Background:
The small gray fluffling sat with his hunched back facing his parents and sibling, happily playing with a bit a yarn. "Come on, you're no fun!" the blue fluffling urged, rolling around the basket with her toy. Their parents sat on the rim of the basket, watching their children happily. "You should play with your sister Paint" his mother, a lovely gray Fluffy with darker tiger stripes said in her quiet, kindly voice, her blue eyes concerned. Paint grunted, his own pair of blue eyes fixed on the wall of the basket. Mother turn to their Father, a teal Fluffy with blue socks and mis-matched green and gray eyes. She said in a hushed voice, so their children wouldn't hear, "I am really worried about Paint. He won't play, or talk at all, to anyone" The teal Fluffy said "Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with him. That's just how it is" Mother sighed and returned to watching the blue fluffling, making sure she didn't decide to test out her wings and fly off.

The two new parent's heads swiveled as the human approached. "Ah, tow little ones, how charming!" it said in it's odd, loud voice. The two Fluffys purred as it stroke their heads. The blue fluffling flounced over, her gray eyes pleading for a snuggle. The human scooped her up and stroke her. her eyes half-closed contentedly, and she purred loudly.

Paint watched this out of the corner of his eye. He snorted, they were so soft, depending on the humans for food, and cuddling with the things like that. He longed to venture outside, to feel the wind in his whiskers, to fly. His sister and parents seemed to have no care about this world beyond, or even for him. He sighed, longing for freedom, and lifted his head, gazing not at the side of the basket, but out the window, into the beautifully open space. He could imagine himself, nesting in a tree, flying about happily with his sister and parents, meeting other Fluffys. The outdoors was even more lovely now, as the grass and trees seemed to grow black and invisible, and his eyes were drawn to the sky. It had turned a deep rose around the ball or fire that was the sun, and faded out, the stretched clouds stained orange and pink as they drifted lazily about. He sighed and curled up in his corner of the basket.

Smoke filled Paint's nostrils. He woke, and jumped up, his eyes wide. The world he knew was consumed in gray and lines of red and orange, leaping from object to object. He looked around, and spotted his sister's blue pelt, limp on the ground. He ran over, prodding her body. Her eyes stared upward, an odd expression of confused glee on her face. He pulled her eyelids over the gray eyes and looked around for his parent, but there was no sign of them. He was frozen, his whole life, the basket, his family, the human, seemed to have burned up in the fire. Hen, he looked out the window. Things seemed the same out there, the same thick grass, scattered trees, and, in the distance, a horizon of mountains and forest, with trees as thick as fur. He hopped onto the sill, the human seemed to have opened the window, and took one more glance back at his home before jumping and spreading his wings, flying for the very first time.

Paint groaned. At first, his mind had been full of excitement, disbelief, and pure joy at his first flight. The good feelings hadn't lasted long. He'd been soaring for hours over endless green lawns and black roofs, and the forest was still a distant dream. He alighted on a roof, folding his wings gratefully. He began to slide rather painfully down the slanted roof, but lept down to the gutter, and crouched down, lapping up some water. He didn't like the roof, it was very hot and roughly textured. He glanced a round, and spotted a tree shading the other side of the roof. He ran over and hopped on a branch, looking for something to eat. He was exhausted, and needed energy. He spotted a chipmunk, and lunged. He missed miserably, and nearly fell. He clung on with his forepaws, his hind legs dangling and his wings extended. With much wriggling and a few flaps of the wings, he pulled himself back up. His ears twitched and he looked aorund for the chipmunk, but it was long gone. He sighed and walked carefully down the branch, sliding down at one point, then curled up in the wide crotch where the branch met the trunk.

Paint woke up to a sound he'd never heard, like a million paws shitting a million wooden floors. He looked around, ears twitching. The sky was a dull purple-gray, so much like smoke but in it's own way nothign like it. Then, he noticed the important thing, water was falling from the sky in small pellets about the size of kibbles. His ears swiveled back and flattened against his ear, and he stepped back, shocked. Then, he was all of a sudden fascinated. Where did this come from? He stepped forward, out of the cover of the tree, and got hit in the head. He shivered, it was cold, and had a lot of force for something so small. He watched as they plonked against the roof and dribbled down into the gutter, and how the gutter gushed water at the bottom, creating a pool of mud. He looked up and saw a rain drop hit a leaf. It went down sharply, then bounced back up. The water ran down the leaf, and formed a small ball of water, hanging off the edge. Paint approached, and was surprised to see his own reflection. The drop fell down along with all the rest of the rain, and Paint was from then on fascinated by rain.

Finally, the suburbs faded to country, which then turned to forest. Paint was overcome with happiness. He spiraled down, with wings now strong, capable of traveling many hours. He landed on a branch, which bobbed under his weight, and looked around, his ears and whiskers twitching. He didn't see any Fluffys, so called out "Hello?" His voice sounded odd too him, he had never used it much. A whole bunch of his kind emerged form a bush, speculating him. He flew down, landing on the soft, leafy forest floor. Finally, a white Fluffy with red swirly markings around her yellow eyes stepped forward, her whole body relaxed. "Hello, stranger" she said, in a smooth voice. "This is our forest, what are you doing trespassing?" Paint was shocked "Trespassing?" he croaked. "Yes either join us or leave" she said, her eyes fixed and blank. "Well, I'll join you" Paint said.

Paint never liked life in a group. Everyone was talking, and they all seemed to have friends, mates, fluffings. He felt like an outcast. One day, he sighed, and left his den, and his life. He found a cozy little cave a while away, and settled down. He was much better suited to the life of a loner, with his fighting and hunting skills he'd learned in the group, along with his toughness and survival he'd learned on the journey to the forest. Also, his natural dislike of other Fluffys made him quite happy, living alone with no-one to bother him, and only the occasional visitor. Inside, he had always known he was a loner, but it took a while to become one.

Art: Will draw some!

Re: Pound of Hope [ADOPTS/DONATIONS OPEN!]

Postby Sentoki » Fri Jul 22, 2011 11:27 am

I am looking to adopt...
Picture:
Image
Kennel number:
P10
Name:
Spiritpelt
Breed:
Wolf
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
I fell in love with this little wolf the moment I saw him up for adoption. To be honest though, my first thoughts were, 'Why would anyone want to donate this little guy? Is it a mistake? Am I seeing things?' But when I went back to check the top, there it was, he really was up for adoption. I will get art of him, lots and lots and LOTS of art for him. He'll go into my new characters thread and will be there right under my fursona. I haven't organised the characters thread properly yet but I promise that I'll PM you the link if I get him so that you can see him there in all his glory!
Personality:
Spiritpelt is a very playful(and sometimes lazy!) young wolf pup. He loves to get into mischief and play with other wolf pups.
Likes:
Lying around in the sun, getting patted, having his afternoon nap, getting into mischief(O.O), chicken(^^).
Dislikes:
Having to wake up from his afternoon nap, getting yelled at/scolded, vegetables.
History/Background:
Spiritpelt has a very sad past. Before he was even born, his father was killed by some humans for his pelt and his mother was taken by a lynx just a few weeks after he and his siblings were born. Gradually, without their mother's milk, the wolf pups started to die away, leaving Spiritpelt the only survivor when a human child stumbled into the cave where they were born. Frightened and hungry, the young wolf followed the human child out of the forest and into the city. There, Spiritpelt was caught and placed in the pound, where he was adopted by his current owner, Weed-Sama. He did not adapt to his new life immediately and tried to escape many times. In the end though, convince that his new owner would not hurt him, Spiritpelt learned to trust his owner and started living the life of a house pet. He still gets the odd look from other house dogs, telling him that he was not welcome in the city but Spiritpelt has learned to ignore the looks of distrust and live his life happily.
Art:
none yet, will draw some soon!
Other:
I hope I'll get him. He'll be a very treasured character. PM me for his full background story. I was planning to tell it from his point of view but decided that it was too long I'm trying for him again!.

I am looking to cuddle in my dreams!
Picture: Image
Image
Kennel number: P120
Image
Name: Black Butterfly.
Image
Nicknames: BB.
Image
Gender: Female
Image
[b]Breed:
Butterfly wolf. (Canis Lupus Lepidoptera)
Image
Theme song: I wanna be a billionaire - Travis Mcoy
Image
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:

Now just what kind of question is this? Tell me who wouldn't want this beauty? Black butterfly is absolutely stunning, every detail of hers I simply love and want to touch. Overall, I simply want to snuggle with her and use her as a plushy at night. She just looks like that kind of animal that makes you go "SQUEEEE" and hug to death, though that it just my opinion, and others may think differently. I do not think differently <3.
I think that the most squeeable part and adorable part of her is that little tuft of hair at the top of her head, and that it gives her a cute and chubby look overall. I cannot resist cute and chubby things, and I am sure that neither can you.
She would also make a perfect character in a story I am currently in the process of developing- a post Apocalypse in the forest taking place where Kyla, my other won character, resides in, and all the other forests known to the earth. The main plot is about Mankind poisoning the earth so much, that it has become an nearly unlivable toxic waste dump. The few remaining pure bits of nature, the forests, are dying, and drawing toxic chemicals their way. The toxic chemicals will begin to slowly and painfully kill every creature on the face of the planet, and it is already too late. The toxins have taken their toll on the earth. Though there is still a fleck of hope in this poisoned world- several creatures have been gifted with the power to revive the earth's creations, and bring life back, recreating the beautiful earth that this dump once was. The only problem is that these creatures are not aware of their power, and that they are mortal, but do not get affected as much by the chemicals. It is up to them to save the fallen earth and discover their powers- Black butterfly is one of those creatures with the special power.
And who knows, black butterfly might find her way into more stories that I will make later on.

A home with me would mean nearly daily love and affection on my character site and outside the character site, It would mean art galore of this amazing character, mostly by me, though by others too. Heck, I would try to make a lifesize clay sculpture of her if I had the tools. She would be loved and held dearly day after day, month after month, and year after year. I simply cannot imagine me forgetting about her, that would be simply unrealistic. Such a beautiful character deserves to be treasured and loved, not to be forgotten and gather dust. I can easily assure you that she will have a great home on my character site, claiming a page of it to be her own, and that page will consist of this form if I win her, and all the pictures ever done of her (Not including the colored in ones- I will only ever post something on there that someone has actually drawn themselves, the only exception are my linearts that I made myself and colored in the linearts that I made myself.)

Image

Personality:

Black Butterfly has a fairly simple personality, quite more simple than most other creatures. It is trying to make the best possible lifestyle of the joys that she has, but still wishing for all the stuff that she doesn't have but would make her extremely happy, and imagining life with it and the positives of what would happen if she had that. In other words, she tends to dream big, and spends most of her days wishing for the things that she does not own, but would absolutely love to own. This, as a matter of fact, is her favorite pastime, and she can be seen staring at the bright sky smeared with the white clouds, imagining life with all she does not own. She does this for hours if she wants the thing so desperately, and then she will make an effort to add that thing to her lifestyle, even if it means stealing it. She would only steal if the person that she is planning on stealing from has doubles of the item, and would never, ever, take something that is special to someone away from them, such as a mate. Black Butterfly simply doesn't have the heart to do that, as she absolutely hates it when someone is in pain, especially if she caused them that pain that they did not need to go through.

The other side of her personality, would have to be the mischievous side. As mentioned in the paragraph above, Black Butterfly will be tempted to steal objects if she wishes for something strongly enough, going out and stealing the object she wants so badly. While stealing, Black butterfly will fly silently through the air, using the wind as a speed booster if it happens to be going in the direction she is going to steal the object she wants. If she is caught while stealing, Black butterfly will quickly retreat back to her den, and try again the next day at nighttime, when the target's owner is most likely sleeping. Though despite all of that, Black butterfly has a good heart, and if she sees the person she stole the object from miserable and unhappy without it, she will return it. Black butterfly can simply not stand to see people unhappy, she thinks that life should be enjoyed, and not make you miserable.
She also tends to be quite optimistic at times, looking for the good in the bad.
Image

Likes:

¶ Sitting down and dreaming about the things she doesn't own.

As said before, Sitting down and just imagining
or dreaming about the things that she does not
own is one of Black Butterfly's favorite things to
do. She finds it relaxing to just lie down, forget
about all your worries for a while, and just imagine.
She loves to do this at the nighttime, where the
strange glowing moonlillies shine their brightest,
casting a warm white glow on the darkened blue
grass. After all, nighttime is where it is most
beautiful in the Area where Black butterfly
has her den in.

¶ Getting something new.

Even if Black butterfly doesn't exactly want the
new object, she still loves getting new things.
She considers getting new things an opportunity
to make improve her life and make it more
enjoyable.

¶ Getting something she desperately wanted.

Even if she stole what she wanted, Black butterfly
loves getting new things that she had wished for.
She likes getting what she wanted because it makes
her feel as if she has achieved a goal, and it just
makes her feel all happy on the inside because she
had gotten something she had desperately wanted,
and everyone loves getting what they wanted,
especially if they wanted it so badly that they stole
it.

¶ Her life.

Though most people hate their life and everything
about it, Black butterfly does not. She is simply
not the kind of thing to constantly complain
about their life and sit in an Emo corner. She barely
even has anything special in her life, just a den,
a few glowing flowers by her den to provide little
nighttime light, several feathers, and some "special"
river rocks that she found/stole. Most people would
consider a solitary life in a den with a few "uninteresting"
objects boring and no way to live, but Black butterfly tries
to make the best out of her life. So unlike other people
would, Black butterfly likes her "solitary" life where
she if barely visited by family, with only the animals
and her belongings to keep her company.

¶ Being alone.

Black butterfly likes to be alone. Why? because she
feels at peace when she's alone, as if she is in no
danger, when in reality she is. She just loves
to sit in her den, dreaming and fiddling around
with her objects that she has.
Image

Dislikes:

¶ Failing.

Whether it be failing at getting something, or failing at a
test, Black Butterfly hates failing, no matter what thing
it is she failed at. At first she tried to see failing as
merely another opportunity to do whatever she wanted
to do in a better way, but sooner or later, Black Butterfly
forgot about that, and continued to hate failing and let
it hurt her self esteem.

¶ Being around other animals.

If it isn't her family, Black Butterfly hates it when she is
around a large number of other animals, and can never
focus correctly if she is. This is most likely due to having
a mostly solitary life where she is by herself most of the
time, and has become used to being alone. Thus, being
around other animals isn't natural for her, and she tends
to be more nervous and jittery around other animals
because of not being around them often.

¶ Humans.

Black Butterfly hates humans, like most other animals
she knows. Her personal reason for hating humans
is because one tried to capture her and use her as a
test subject to create more Butterfly wolves, as most
humans have no idea that a breed of wolf called butterfly
wolves exist. She had escaped the human, but not before
a few tests were done on her. Thankfully, not enough
tests were done on her to create another butterfly wolf,
but it was a close call.

Image

History/Background:

I had always had a fairly simple life, and I liked it that way. I never really wanted for anything as a pup, and I had no idea how complex someone else's life could be. I assumed that everyone lived like this, and that my life would remain the same forever. Guess what? It didn't.

Puppyhood.

My puppyhood was normal. I was born into a litter of several other puppies, two others in the mix to be exact. I believe I was the runt, though my puppyhood was a while ago and I do not remember exactly. What size I was does not matter now, anyways. Getting to the more important and interesting details, I had remained in the den for a long period of time, longer than most other butterfly wolves would've, that I am fairly certain of. I'm not quite sure why I had stayed in the den for a long period of time, though this had left me unaware of some things that I should've known at that age, such as dangerous animals. My mother wasn't exactly the best tutor, and had never informed me of these things I should have known about, even if I was young. This had caused the first problem for me, which was lack of survival instinct. Thus, lack of survival instinct lead to the problem with the humans who decided it was a good idea to try and capture me. I blamed my mom for all of this, and for not even making an effort to teach me survival instinct.

Why my mom never taught me life skills or let me out of the den when I was ready, that I do not know. I assume that it was because she was paranoid of me dying, as there were a lot of predators around my pup den at that time.

The memories that we hold dear...

And I do hope that it is okay to make her breed a butterfly wolf, since it is a breed of wolf.

I am looking to adopt and forever hold dear...Image
₪₪₪
Kennel number:
F56
Name:
Ahadi
Breed:
Smili
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
Ah, I could go on for eons about why I love him. The beautiful shade of brown combined with a soft golden color is like eye candy to me. The wonderful white speckled about his build compliments both colors, and is absolutely gorgeous.
    Hid design also appeals to me in the sense that he would make a beautiful character for my upcoming book.
    It also sparked something in my mind about the personality. The colors seem to translate into laid-back, kind, and mello
Personality:
Peaceful and reserved, Ahadi is a rather mello guy.
In a bad situation, Ahadi often tries to make the best of it. Though, despite his 'open arms' kind
of personality, he is wary of foreigners and will stay clear of those he does not know.
Likes:
Resting by the seaside and admiring the scenery of Pompeii will hearten Ahadi.
₪₪₪
Dislikes:
Being around large crowds of those he does not know and having to directly interact with them
are the only known things that tend to aggravate Ahadi.
History/Background:
The cool, crisp winds of winter drifted through my pelt as I gazed at the beautifully glistening ocean. The current gently lapped against the wooden frame of the port. Ordinarily, the chilling winds and dropping temperatures would repel most beings, but this was how I liked it. This is how I spent my days. 
  The only thing that could ruin this moment would be. . . Father[/1]
Ever since that horrible day, my father has been considered a nuisance, a vermin. I just wanted him to rot. 
He wouldn't tell me why. He wouldn't tell his own son why he did such a thing.
  It's awful, that feeling of helplessness. You want to find something out so badly, help someone so badly, anything you could desire, but... You can't. 
That was the burden I carried.  He assaulted her, beat her merciless, but. . . Why?
    My nose wrinkled as images of my father seemed too make their way into my mind. That awful man needed to atone for his sins.
But making that a reality would be highly difficult, for I had not the slightest idea of where he could have been. I could vaguely see the blurry silhouette of a peer on the other side of the ocean. I squinted my eyes and focused them off into the distance. 
   Pulling myself to my feet, I began to walk upon the cobblestone path leading to the peer. My pace quickened until I was sprinting. The faster I went, the more the build of the peer revealed itself. 
   The pungent smell of saltwater gripped my nostrils and the beautiful ocean view met my eyes. I could see a figure very much resembling me tranquilly sitting at the edge of the peer. His facial markings matched mine exactly, and he had my eyes. You didn't have to know squat to know that he was my father. All of a sudden my heart jumped. There were so many questions I wanted to ask him, so many things I wanted to tell him. [I]Now is not the time
.
   I pulled myself together and calmly walked over to him. He glared at me through the corners of his eyes. "Ahadi", he spoke in a deep, gruff voice. I bit my lip, trying not to yell at him. "Dad."
It hurt so much to say that word. He stood up and staggered to my side. "Beautiful, isn't it. The ocean the birds, the-"
   "Why'd you do it!? Why did you kill her? She didn't deserve it!"
I didn't even notice he was crying. The look on his face was horrifying, as if he didn't feel a single drop of guilt. It made me sick. I stared him down, showing every bit of my anger and frustration. He closed his eyes and turned his head towards the sea.
   "Son", he said.
"Your mother wanted to die. You see, she had a virus of sorts. A disease. She was terrified that it would spread to you. She lived in agony, constantly worrying. She said to me, 'Please, kill me. Just kill me'. 
   I was shocked. I couldn't kill the one I held so dearly. She continued to beg and plead for her death, until I finally did it for her. 
   She wanted to pass, my child. I had no desire to kill her, but she was in so much pain."
   I sat in shock. I felt so guilty, so ashamed. 
He turned around and wandered off. 
"Goodbye, Ahadi. Perhaps our paths will cross again some day."
He softly chuckled to himself as he disappeared into the rubble. 
   And that, is the last time I saw my father.
