[Ranua]

Good. ^^

[Tiikeria]

That drawing. It took forever. I love it, though. :3 I'll have to finish my form after work...stupid job.

And good luck, all of you going for the bobtailed. If the first cub hadn't caught my eye, I would have gone for Mr. Bobtail.

[Ranua]

xD Glad the cub did then. I have my hands full as is.

[Desmond]

Here I go again. xD

Personality: Cold, blank, sarcastic, a bit of a chronic complainer.
Story:

It's been a long, long time since I last visited my old home. It’s not even my home anymore, really. It’s just sand. Cacti. Lizards. A few rodents here and there. It’s one of the most desolate places on the planet. And yet, that’s where I started off, a naïve little cub with less sense than a rock, happily playing with rattlesnakes and various other glories of the desert. Beautiful imagery, am I right? Pfft.

As soon I was old enough, I went north. I didn’t care where. I saw how godforsaken that blasted desert was, and I wanted nothing more to do with it. Where did I end up? Oh, yeah. In a godforsaken grassland. This place, though, had some hope. It was green, at least, and was an easier life than dry, dry, dry all of the time. They at least get some rain. And when I say “some”, I mean six months of nonstop, “find high land and hold on to your rear” sort of rain. Naturally, with a tail like mine, it’s hard to steer in a raging, overflowing river, so I moved on as fast as I could, my paws hard-wired for fast, light running over the ground… well, it didn’t compensate for the mud, but it helped.

I ended up travelling through a swamp. A swamp! It was worse than the place I’d just left, with even more sticky mud more rain, more water, and more animals that were more than happy to try to take a bite out of me! Needless to say, I left that place and never looked back. Those giant mosquitoes were just too much. Not to mention the crocodiles and the fact that even the plants were trying to nibble on me. I’m not plant food!

I stopped again in the middle of more grassland and plains, surrounded on all but one side by trees. Not too hot, not too cold, and neither really wet nor dry. Yeah, you’d think it’d be perfect, right? Think again. They’ve got hyenas and evil horses and all sorts of gangs running all around. Sure, they don’t really bother me- I’m sure the hyenas would realize I’m higher than they are on the food chain, but the fact that a horse is leading them drives me batty. What, are they chasing the horse of something? A little “Catch me if you can” game and the hyenas are so stupid that they don’t know that whatever they attack isn’t the freaking horse? Whatever.

I decided to stay, despite the bad neighbors. Why not? Plenty of food, I’m not drowning or dying of dehydration, the plants don’t bite, and the mosquitoes… aren’t half bad. I’ve also been hearing word about an uppity little group that’s scheming to kill the gang leader of these bad neighbors. Good idea, actually, I might join, as long as I can stand them. If there’s even one annoying little dirtball, though….

I digress. As bad as this place is, it’s not as godforsaken as the other places I’ve been to, and that says a lot.

Parduseros wanted: Plains Parduseros Cub.
What will you name it?: Rai
Link to character thread (so I can see how well you take care of your other characters): viewtopic.php?f=10&t=169578
Personality: Rai is silent and clever, he's often off by himself, thinking about his path or his destiny. Rai wants to go on a journey when he's older to find himself. It's difficult to crack Rai's shell, but once you do, you'll find he's a rather kind and friendly Parduseros. Though, he comes off as uncaring.
500 word min, 1500 word max story OR a drawing that depicts their personality(You may also do both.):
Rai lay curled up in the soft curve of his mother's belly, her soft fur cushioning his head. The grass underneath of him was rather rough and dry, but springy, making a good cushion. Rai's head flew up as he heard a clap of thunder.
"Do not worry, it is just the gods, they are blessing us with rain." Rai's mother would tell him every time there was a thunderstorm. He would listen to her and simply fall back to sleep, but this time, it was different. A bolt of lightning, a blast of pure, unbridled energy shot from the sky. His mother leaped to her feet and grabbed Rai by the scruff as flames burst from the grass. Rai's throat was tight with fear, he couldn't even scream. Taking off, his muscular mother began to bound away from the danger, but where was there to hide? These golden plains held nothing but a few rocks and trees, other than that, it was open. A bolt of lightning stuck the tree that they had been rushing past, knocking it over. It fell on his mother and Rai flew out of her jaws, tumbling painfully across the grass. She roared in pain, trying to claw her way out from under the burning tree. The unmistakable scent of burning fur filled Rai's nose.
"MOMMA!" he screamed, beginning to rush towards her, but she lashed out a paw. Taken aback, Rai's eyes filled with tears and he scrambled away.
"Go!" she shouted, still writhing underneath of the tree. "RUN, RAI!" she roared at him. Though, it was too late, a rush of lightning struck the ground right in front of him. It singed his nose and front legs, Rai turned tail and ran. His legs and face charred by the lightning, he knew he couldn't run much longer. A large rock came into view. Dashing forward, he squeezed his small, limber body underneath it and lay trembling, waiting for the storm to pass. A thought struck him, he had just left his mother to die. Beginning to sob, Rai clasped his tiny paws over his head and cried like he had never cried before. Eventually, he fell asleep, awaking to a bright, sunny day the next morning. It was as if that dreadful storm had never happened. Slinking out from under the rock, he stood in the sunlight and began to growl. "WHY?" he cried at the sky, tears streaming down his face, "WHY ME?" Suddenly, a shadow washed over him and he turned with a gasp. A large figure stood over him, though not intimidatingly. "You seem alone." the deep voice spoke, the larger parduseros's features unreadable in the blazing sun. "Come, I will show you the way." it said, and without another word, began to stalk away. Rai's mouth hung open, he stood there dumbfounded for a moment. What do I do? Rai thought, I guess I have no where else to go... Rai thought, his ears drooping and his heart dropping. Quickly, he scampered after the other parduseros, kicking up dry dust in the process.



((I'm going to adopt another adult plains Parduseros and continue the story eventually if I win. ;D))
