My muse is having a severe case of being on a constant sugar-high and the introduction I am writing up has gone a little bit out of hand by now...

Can it be possible for the Spider tracker to kind of...'shrink' in size? Not really really small, but small enough to kind of sit in the corner of a room and look mostly like a normal spider from a distance?

=Tracker Dog you want=
ID: #75
=Name you'll give it=
Pyrotechnic
Otherwise called Pyro.
Pyrotechnics is the manufacturing of fireworks; I chose this name based on the striped designs on the legs and belly because they remind me of fireworks.
His method also resembles Fireworks as he is explosive and loud at his choosing but otherwise he is silent and watchful, most are overwhelmed when he goes into this explosive mode.
=Reason why you want it=
GENERAL
When I first looked over the series #77 took over my attention, I didn’t give much thought to 75, that was until I got bored at school and started to draw him, he was so much fun to draw and I fell in love instantly, knowing that he was the one I was going for!
APPEARANCE
I am a sucker for dark designs!
On my phone I have his image saved (Removed if I don’t get him). Because of his transparent background it turned the background black, making it look like he really was part of a skeleton, at least on his back.
I love the stripped pattern on his legs and belly, as I said it makes him look as if he has fireworks exploding around him, it has always been an old idea of mine that was a tracker with firework markings and here it is!
I love his light orange tongue and ears, I have always loved those colours on a tracker, it gives him a scary appearance!
PERSONALITY
What can I say?
I just love the fact that he can be a little self-absorbed and shall we say vain?
His personality goes perfectly with his dark and slightly mysterious appearance that goes with it. His interest in historical things gives him a feel that although his pride would be an obstacle, it is a recipe for an older wiser Tracker, Pyro believes he can learn from the past and be better prepared for the future.
So far this has led him to come up with unique ways of dealing with things that many others wouldn't think of.
It amuses Alexandria as she is usually two steps ahead of the game, to see how Pyro reacts to individual situations.
It’s also cool how he loves to listen to stories, the race of faeries have very many to offer him and he enjoys their visits greatly as they usually have amazing stories to tell.
STORY IDEAS
Pyro is perfect for my 'Artemis Fowl' Fan-fiction in which a young girl (Alexandria Perfentis), A child genius who calls herself a modern day Robin Hood, coming up with complex or sometimes simple when the mood hits, plans to rob criminals and large banks of their money, usually depositing it into children charities as such.
Although some may be concerned that the part she takes most joy in is the proses of taking the money.
Alexandria has recently discovered a race of faeries living underground, hiding by their advancements in technology. After a few misunderstandings with the faeries police force (LEPrecon), the faeries have decided to count Alexandria and her body guard Tora as friends of the race.
That's not to say everything is peaceful though.
Pyro accompanies Tora and Alexandria on their various little explorations, usually called upon to help in a plan or to help protect Alexandria, the tracker enjoys traveling as one of the common jobs they are called to do is recover museum artefacts that have been stolen.
Not to mention his companions are friends with the world’s oldest race...
TORA’S OPINION
“Well let’s see… Pyro just seemed the best suited out of the three, Trackers are very exclusive and hard to get although honestly I’m not surprised that Alexandria was able to find this place. Number seventy-six seemed a bit creepy and was too boisterous; a calmer companion would be needed at the mansion. Number seventy-seven honestly seemed like it would rather not have anything to do with me, I saw it walk through a wall which quite honestly un-nerved me although never tell Alexandria I told you that.
When I saw Seventy-Five there was a sort of connection, mostly based on respect, neither knew the other but we both knew this was someone we could respect. I was quite happy when LCD suggested I take him for a ‘test run’ It was amazing, he responded to all my commands!
I think he will do well in our various… Shall we say adventures?”
=PYROTECHNICS FILE=
Name: Pyrotechnics
Gender: Male
Age: 2 years
Species: Tracker Dog
Sub-Species: Normal
Height: 65cm at the withers
Weight: 70lbs
Coat: Short, Smooth
=Will it be used in any kind of story?=
Pyro will definitely be involved in many short stories I make with my characters; I am planning on using them more around Chicken Smoothie so you will see him in several pieces of art and RP’s as well as the stories.
In the stories he is Tora Noxas partner. Tora’s job is to be a body guard for the 12 year old child genius Alexandria Perfentis. In the time they spend at the mansion of the Perfentis family. Pyro roams the halls hand makes sure of no intruders. He accompanies the pair through their many adventures and proves essential to their success.
=Describe its personality=
Pyro is quite proud of whom he is and doesn’t take kindly to others telling him off. For this reason he responds well to positive reinforcement and if he gets something wrong, a gentle nudge in the right direction. Enjoys people knowing his pride but is held back by his dislike to be the centre of attention.
Pyro can be a bit vain, he thinks quite highly of himself and won't really let anyone tell him otherwise but despite this he still looks to Tora for reassurance but once he has the confidence that he knows what he's doing he'll try to make you think he knew the whole time, usually acting a bit over the top but hey! Who's to tell him that right?
Pyro gets his observation skills from the many stories he has been told, through them all it has become clear to him that observation is what eventually leads to successes, remembering this he has leaned to enhance his skills of observation. He is naturally quiet and this helps him see things that others would usually miss.
When forced into a fight Pyro can be quite unpredictable which is one of the things that give him his name, he will go into a series of ferocious snaps and barks, this is the only time be becomes loud as he is a naturally quiet Tracker. He usually overwhelms his opponents as it is near impossible to predict his next move.
Pyro will go great lengths to protect his people however one must earn his loyalty before he extends it to them, he won’t protect someone just because they’re there. Once you have earned his loyalty you have earned it for life, he won’t ever take it back and will stick by you.
One thing that Pyro can never live down is his tendency to be a bit jumpy, often spooking at shadows and freaking out over the littlest surprises, his loyalty keeps him rooted to his trainers side but it’s not uncommon to see him trembling after a fright but his pride keeps him challenging anyone who states this to him and may be more prone to snapping in this state.
=Write an introduction for your Tracker=
“Tora, I would like you to find Pyro and bring him to the car” A young girl of twelve with white-blonde hair told the larger, the older girl seemed more mature than most her age but it was clear who had the authority,
“Yes Alex” Tora replied respectfully bobbing her head and walking out through the large interact doors, leaving the computers beeping and whirring behind her,
“Pyro!” She called striding down the hallway, looking into each of the large rooms as she went, everything showed just how rich the family was but there was still no sign of the skeletal tracker she was seeking,
“I think you will find our friends are in the dining room” Alex’s voice told her calmly over the communication system, Tora nodded once, she knew her charge would be able to see her through the many cameras she had to watch over the mansion.
As Tora made her way to the dining room she began to hear a male voice,
“That’s when the troll broke through the wall, tall as a two-story building; you should have seen the faces of the LEP officers…” The voice said with animation as if they were back at that place, Tora smiled to herself as she walked into the room, seeing the normal Tracker, Pyrotechnic, sitting and listening raped to the story the small elf was telling, the elf was tall for his species but was only the height of 12 year old Alexandria, he had dark brown hair and blue eyes that showed laughter and amusement in their depths.
“Hey, Tora!” He greeted her smiling, his full body Lep uniform had several guns attached to the belt, in the corner there was a helmet sitting quietly,
“Hello Charlie, how’s everything going underground?” Tora asked him, a grin stretching across her face as Pyro looked around, his ears pricked happily,
“Good, well that is until Commander Truffle blew a gasket” He replied happily jabbing his thumb in the direction of the helmet which Tora had no doubt held several recordings of the Commanders angry tone. Just then Pyro nudged the elf forcefully on the shoulder causing Charlie to fall flat on his behind, Pyro wanted to hear the rest of the story
“Insistent ain’t he?” Charlie commented getting up off the floor and rubbing the Trackers head “Later”
“Well just now we have a job for him. Stolen museum artifact, the police are paying top dollar for Tracker involvement” Tora replied, she enjoyed helping out the police and she knew Pyro would be especially interested in this one, on cue the Trackers ears pricked up and he looked around, his tail thumping on the floor,
“Well actually that is what I am here for. That artifact is no artifact but a piece of our technology, the tracking device was destroyed in the arctic water it fell in, not to mention the killer whales found it an amusing toy” He told her grinning.
Tora returned his smile; she knew how much the inventor of this technology would enjoy having it mistaken for an artifact.
“While you’re having a nice little chat whomever it is has a nice little piece of technology” Alex observed, walking into the room and causing Pyro to jump, his head darting around in shock, Tora reached out and placed a hand on his shoulder to soothe him as Charlie chuckled.
“Well that’s not the only thing” Charlie stated sheepishly after a moment as Tora raised an eyebrow,
“The thief has run right into a well-known lair of a troll” Alex finished as Pyro flicked up his ears in anticipation, now he might get to play this story for real…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~
The crowded city relayed the white noise of the constant chatter of those going to and from work on their daily business, sky-scrapers and other buildings competed for the height advantage.
In all the noise no one noticed the small twelve year old girl with white-blonde hair and a long white dress step out of a black care followed shortly by a fifteen year old girl with jet black hair and emerald eyes, wearing a black singlet top with brown cargo-pants and holding a black briefcase.
The normal Tracker was the last to emerge from the car, his ears flicking nervously as if he disliked being among so many people, his dark fur and white markings only seemed to make him more conspicuous along with his orange tongue, nose and ears it make him quite a target for incredulous looks.
Suddenly an empty coffee cup clattered to the ground beside Pyro making him jump, his ears flicking back and forth wildly trying to catch every sound and process if they were a danger to him, he felt Tora’s firm hand on his shoulder just as she had back at the mansion and he remembered once more why he had wanted to go to her, through everything she stayed calm and in control, her firm hand telling him she wouldn’t let him fall.
Without a word Alex started walking, people made way for her, a little girl walking down the street, what could be cuter? That was until they saw her eyes, her expression was too serious, her eyes too intelligent for a normal girl. Still the older girl following her seemed to be more normal, slim but muscular build, anyone who had the time to notice would see she was placing herself in such a way she would be in the line of all attacks, her eyes mirrored the ears of her tracker, constantly on alert for any danger.
“The Troll is located on the south side of the city, four miles south” Alex said eventually, turning down a side ally, seemingly carefree although her body guard knew that mind would be working out all the risks and how to overcome them.
Tora was about to ask how she intended to get them four miles because she knew for a fact her charge wasn’t going to walk the whole way,
“Did you bring the money?” Alex questioned as if knowing Tora was wondering on this, in response Tora replied promptly,
“Yes”
“Good” The little girl ended the conversation; glad with the fact there was $5000 in the case.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A little while later they walked into a small house, the paint was peeling and the place was generally dirty, the yellow jeep was a stark contrast to the house as it was gleaming, the water pooling around the wheels told the group it had been freshly washed.
“Weapons?” Tora asked casually,
Pyro took this as a command and broke away from the group trotting toward the jeep he began to sniff around it, looking back, suddenly unsure of himself but Tora’s confident nod sent him strutting around the jeep. Definitely the scent of a human, grubby and un-appealing. The tracker rose on his hind legs, putting his front paws on the side of the jeep, he wasn’t made for stealth so he didn’t worry when his black claws made two puncture holes on the jeep door. Gripping the handle with strong jaws he jerked back away from the car, the door opening obediently.
Pyro jumped inside, sniffing intently, the scent of gun-powder hung in a clear trail, as he worked Pyro snorted, they could have at least made it more of a challenge, taking the pistol from under the drivers chair he turned around,
“Oi! Get out of there you mangy mutt!” A man cried from the open door, looking every much as grubby as he smelled, he shirt must have been white once upon a time but now it was a muddy grey, giving a snarl Pyro launched himself from the driver’s seat, across the passengers and straight at the man who yelped and flung himself backwards in an attempt to dodge the flying animal.
“What is the meaning of this? You don’t offer me payment and send in some dog to destroy my jeep!” The man cried trying to regain whatever dignity he had left, at the same moment he realized Pyro who had given the gun to Tora and was now sitting smugly by his mistresses’ side, was not any dog he had ever seen, while he gawked at the Tracker Alex spoke in a bored tone,
“I brought your money because it is in fact illegal to travel up the path I must go on. I know you hid that gun to destroy evidence of you being up there. Now Tora has the gun and many others you will take us there”
The man brushed of his shirt attempting to recover as he visibly wondered if it was really worth it but eventually he nodded hastily, retreating to his jeep hurriedly.
Tora grinned with amusement; this was the bit she enjoyed the most, when the other realized there was no outsmarting her charge, she followed Alexandria in with Pyro sitting comfortably on her lap as they drove off to face the troll…
