I am looking to adopt {and smother with merry affection}...


Kennel number:
P92 + P93
Name:
Emerald Sky "Emerald" + Lucille "Luce"
Breed:
Bobcat + Bobcat
Why do you want these animals and what will you do for them?:
Emerald and Luce are beautiful and exotic bobcats! It is not often you find bobcats, as opposed to lions, jaguars, types of leopards, ocelots, etc. They have a beautiful, fantastical design and they are just great! I cannot wait to have exotic family members!
Personality:
{Emerald is of the astrological sign Gemini...}
He is quick-thinking, fast-moving, and gets bored very easily. He needs constant stimulation and always needs something to chase. He is usually the life of the party, and the more gossip or information you give him, the better. He is very punctual; he never wants to miss a thing, and goes with the flow; he is very flexible. He is, in general, a very bright and sunny character with endless imagination and energy. Boring? Never!
{However, this is the sign of The Twins...}
Ah, true. This can mean Emerald is late one day, bright and early the next. He can't figure out wather to be healthy or sick today, perhaps to be pratical or to just blow off some time. You can never figure out how he'll be tomorrow... and neither can he!
{Gemini rules the arms (legs), hands, (paws), hair (fur), shoulders, nervous system, lungs, and vocalization.}
Emerald has a strong deep voice and is a good endurance runner. He is suseptable to lung infections, so he stays in forests or in trees so he gets fresh air. He has strong paws and legs, muscular enough for a sprint or a rough 'n tumble chase down the mountainside. He has very soft, lush green fur and is generally considered a "nervous nelly".
{Luce is of the astrological sign, Taurus...}
Oh, very good! These are very good souls. Taurus are reliable, loving, kind, and patient. And, they can rarely ever be shaken, weather it be an insult, a death in the family, or perhaps a lack of food. These types are very stable and rarely show too much emotion. All in all Tauruses are even-tempered, reliable, generous, and to those worthy, faithful.
{But, this is the sign of the bull!}
Oh, yes, true! Well, this would make Luce stubborn, resistent, argumentive, and can easily get stuck in a rut. Tauruses are crafty and musically driven people, and they dislike being rushed, being locked indoors, being pushed/moving too quickly, disruption, and "fake" things. Tauruses like luxury, and can be faithfully religious.
{... anything else?...}
Well, tauruses like Luce are built with heavy bones, muscles and have a tendency to be short-backed, like Luce is. Despite their apperance, they are big on aesthetics. They constantly seek comfort, safety, and are very close to the earth, because, well, Taurus is an earth sign! They can be spiritual and need to be well at all times -- that is one of their goals.
But, Tauruses rule the thorat, lungs, and many organs in the lower-body, including the uterus, liver and kidneys, and they can become overweight. So, what does this mean? Well, this means that Luce should be careful of her health, of course, and not over-work her lungs, as she is prone to having hiccups and not getting enough air in.
Likes:
- Intellegent friends and partners
- Open spaces, room to run!
- Food, especially light game
- Chatting
- Debates
- Variety
- Acting as devil's advocate
- Blue and yellow colours
- Real jewels, her favourite is Emerald (of course!)

Dislikes:
- Confinement
- Rules, restrictions
- Sappy love
- Being kept waiting
- Complaints
- Missing the action
- Defeat
- The colours purple and red
History/Background:
Emerald was raised in the mountains of Washington State. There, it would always be cold or rainy or snowy, which Emerald didn't mind too much. He would easily blend into in the moss-covered ground and the heavily-treed forests of the state, especially on the Olympic Peninsula. He grew up with two siblings, a brother and a sister, who all had similar colouring to him.

Mythology
In Native American mythology bobcat is often twinned with the figure of coyote in a theme of duality. Lynx and coyote are associated with the fog and wind, respectively—two elements representing opposites in Amerindian folklore. This basic story, in many variations, is found in the native cultures of North America (with parallels in South America), but they diverge in the telling. One version, which appears in the Nez Perce folklore for instance, depicts Lynx and coyote as opposed, antithetical beings. However, another version depicts them with equality and identicality. Claude Lévi-Strauss argues that the former concept, that of twins representing opposites, is an inherent theme in New World mythologies, but that they are not equally balanced figures, representing an open-ended dualism rather than the symmetric duality of Old World cultures. The latter notion then, Lévi-Strauss suggests, is the result of regular contact between Europeans and native cultures. Additionally, the version found in the Nez Perce story is of much greater complexity, while the version of equality seems to have lost the tale's original meaning.

In a Shawnee tale, the bobcat is outwitted by a rabbit, which gives rise to its spots. After trapping the rabbit in a tree, the bobcat is persuaded to build a fire, only to have the embers scattered on its fur, leaving it singed with dark brown spots. The Mohave believed dreaming habitually of beings or objects would afford them their characteristics as supernatural powers. Dreaming of two deities, cougar and lynx, they thought, would grant them the superior hunting skills of other tribes. European settlers to the Americas also admired the cat, both for its ferocity and grace, and in the United States it "rests prominently in the anthology of…national folklore."

Diet
Rodents, squirrels, birds, fish, rabbits/hares, crane, livestock, poultry, ocassionally deer.

Behaviour
The bobcat is crepuscular. It keeps on the move from three hours before sunset until about midnight, and then again from before dawn until three hours after sunrise. Each night it will move from 2 to 7 miles (3.2 to 11 km) along its habitual route. This behavior may vary seasonally, as bobcats become more diurnal during fall and winter. This is a response to the activity of their prey, which are more active during the day in colder months.

I am looking to adopt...

Kennel number: P55, Currently of the name Swamper
Name: Topshot
____________________________
Breed:
Topshot is an Eastern Canadian Red Wolf. {A Canine}
____________________________
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:

Why do I want Topshot?
What an easy question.
Topshot has to be one of the most
lovable,
exhilarating,
enjoyable,
creative,
funniest,
and the most perfect
character I can find on this thread.
I can actually use Topshot! Seriously, how many characters here are some-what camo, or fit me?
Topshot is the only one.

What will I do with Topshot?
Topshot looks to me like a great roleplaying character. I would adore seeing him with all my characters, he would be a wonderful addition to my small 'Family'.
____________________________
Personality:
Topshot's words are in italics.

Q: What do you call fun?
A: Fun is basically, well, me enjoying time out alone in the forest. I love nature, in such a way as it speaks to me when the river splashes on my paws or how the leaves rustle as the wind rushes through their branches with it's hollow whistle. Nature has to be my way of having fun, or enjoyment.
___

Q: How do you act around others?
A: When around others, I am some-what boastful and proud. I am always trying to make people like me, and I am always trying to impress them. I am usually not found in one of those parties almost everyone is invited to, since whats the point? I don't enjoy being in close quarters with others and totally hate dancing.
___

Q: Do you have any hobbies?
A: In fact, I do. One of my most active hobbies is collecting interesting objects as I take my manual walks each day. I usually take home bones, nuts, rock and stones, twigs, and possibly bits of trash a human might of left behind. I always sniff to make sure that everything is safe, though.
___

Q: Are you well acquainted with your family?
A: Despite enjoying being alone, I am a family guy and enjoy being around those I love- and them only. I enjoy having someone I trust around me, and only my family hold that honor.

___

Q: Name 3 characteristics about you.
A: Cautious, Hoarder, Artistic.
___

Q: Describe how you are cautious.
A: I am cautious because I care. I really do care if something is poisoned and is potentially going to threaten my existence, and I do care about that little baby chick that fell out of the nest. So I always try to avoid having these types of problems happen, and therefor I must be cautious.
___

Q: Describe how you are a hoarder.
A: I enjoy collecting interesting things, for who knows when I might need them! Things like twigs, rocks and stones, leaves, bones, and nuts, and keep a vast hoard of each item. I really do enjoy organizing and counting each and every item, for it brings the greatest joy to see that I have progressed in my collection.
___

Q: Describe how you are artistic.
A: I am artistic when I listen to the music that the world around me makes, and when I shape it into the perfect chorus of tunes that flow like a river and carry me throughout my manual walks. I am creative and find the mysteries of life fascinating, as would any artist that lives like I.
___

Q: Give a simple summary of your personality.
A: I am artistic and crafty, and enjoy being around nature. I hoard as a hobby and I am very cautious. Never do I enjoy being around others 24/7, and I am usually found alone in the forest.
____________________________
Likes:
I like evening walks, schedules, being alone, and nature mostly.

Q: How does your interests impact your life?
A: Without me liking nature, I'd be stuck as that lonely guy stalking people in the woods. {:P} Like, how does that help me? And evening walks- I'd be fat by now. Very fat. I'm pretty sure that would be a bad situation if I got stuck as the chubby guy stalking people in the woods, would it? Alas, schedules are very important. I would be such a clutz- never get anything done on a day-to-day basis. And anyways, being around other people a lot would make me look like I'm stalking them, or at least I think so.
{As you can see, there would be a lot of stalking going on if I didn't have my interests!}
____________________________
Dislikes:
I dislike constantly being around others, being in close quarters, and cities.
____________________________
History/Background:
Cold snow and ice... that's all I remember.

But it comes back to me in flashes, it takes me by surprise.

I remember that warm, gentle glow of that motherly face looking down on me, and the hard, tough yet loving eyes of my father watching adoringly.

But I shall tell you what I know, I shall tell you my story.

It was a cold night, frigid temperatures clawing at my fur, swirling into my lungs and flying out with every gulp of air I took. I stared up at my mum, pushing on through the swirling snow and stepping, pawstep by pawstep, toward the tiny outline of a distant forest. I nearly collapsed with exhaustion when my father nudged me onward, and onward I went, sad that me and my small family must endure all of this pain. I do not remember anything else, except I awoke on the edge of the forest, held in my father's jaws by the scruff of my neck.

I soon found the forest was full of joy and excitement, and was happy that the huge canopy above closed off the cold temperatures from the outside and kept all snow out. I spent my days wandering around, collecting interesting bit of items I found.
