I am looking to adopt...

Image

Kennel number:
P122

Name:
"Nero", it means "water" in Greek. I would also like to make him male instead of female.

Breed:
Thoroughbred stallion

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
The first moment I saw Nero, I wanted him. I would've filled out a form last round but I hadn't looked this far. I just love how different he is; I've never seen a design like him before. He reminds me of a skeleton, like a hollow shell that needs to be filled. He will be my equine fursona's mate, if that's alright, and he will also have a home, like all of my other characters, on my thread.

Personality:
Nero is very quiet and usually withdrawn; he's more of a listener than a talker. He wants to stay a mystery to others, and hides behind his tough outer shell. He can tend to be aggressive, but it's a show. Once you get underneath his armor, he's very kind and gentle, and wants nothing more than to be appreciated even despite his strange appearance. Though he isn't always the best decision maker, he relies on logic and tries to keep emotions out of the equation as much as possible.

Likes:
#Honeysuckle, it reminds him of the home he can't remember.
#Quiet and the sound of running water; it calms him.
#Hummingbirds and insects, espcially dragonflies.
#Sleeping; it gives him time to pretend he was someone else.
#The twilight; right after sunset but right before dark. It's very peaceful, that one hour of the day where everything is calm and silent. The hour the world is bathed in a shade of grey.
#Latin; during his time in the lackies' care, he met another horse they had stolen who was an imported Arabian gelding and knew the Latin language. During that year and a half, Nero learned to speak it fluently.

Dislikes:
.His looks; he's very unhappy with himself.
.Unnecessary noise; part of the time he even dislikes music of any kind or caliber.
.Criticism; he's already critical of himself enough.
.Watching equestrian events; it makes him jealous even though both Zemiya and Amethyst know he has loads of show jumping talent, he's just not confident enough to give it a shot.

Brief History:
Nero was born of a famous racing stallion and and show jumping mare, both coming from the finest bloodlines that money could buy. He was born under the name "Gunslinger's Rise", a sparkling white Thoroughbred colt, with long legs perfect for show jumping and a beautifully elegant bearing. The family he belonged to was humble, not ones to flaunt their winnings or their assets, and the youngest girl of the family loved him to bits. But the girl's so-called friend had been jealous of the colt, knowing he would grow up to be a better jumper than her mare. So as soon as he was weaned, the girl's friend had her father arrange for the colt to be stolen. The lackies that were hired were told to purchase paint that would hide his coat and prevent the first family from ever finding him again. Sadly, the two weren't as smart as he gave them credit for. They bought dye in blue and black, going too crazy with the design. The lackies held the colt until he was older and the first family had stopped searching for him, not bothering to ever wash the dye off, only re-apply it. Then, when the second family came to claim their prize near to a year and a half later, the dye had permanently stained his beautiful white coat. Angrily he was set loose and chased off, left to fend for himself for three years until animal control caught him and retrained him. Nero still hated how he looked, blatantly ignoring any shiny surface he passed, and the emotional hurt from being chased off still haunted his mind. After his successful retraining, he was taken to the nearest pound with space.

Other:
His favorite/theme song is Bless the Child by Nightwish.


Art:

Quick muse :3

History:

Where was he? Nero looked around the strange forest he had run into. He didn't know where he was. The last thing he remembered was jumping the fence of his dirty, hard-packed dirt corral, taking off into the approaching darkness. Now the moon had risen high, barely visible through the thick deciduous canopy above his head. The little bit of mottled moonlight that managed to work it's way through illuminated the white of his face and the design of his coat. He had slowed from his extended run, his legs aching and his stomach growling. He was hungry and very, very thirsty, but he had no idea which way to go. In the darkness, everything looked the same. He gave a tired sigh and pressed on as he felt tears prick the back of his eyes. He wanted to go home, go back to the nice stall he occupied as a yearling, the lush fields he had grazed with his dam in, and even the training he had eventually enjoyed, despite the original discomfort of the bit. His feet began to trudge through the mud and fallen leaves as he grew more and more tired, fatigue catching up to him. Finally he found a play suitable to lay down, his head resting on the ground. The tears finally escaped from his eyes and dripped down his face, the stallion utterly silent as he slowly fell asleep.

~*~*~*~*~

Mottled sunlight shone through the canopy, seeming to sparkle and dance over Nero's face and neck.

A code drop is when we reveal who won the characters that had quality forms in for them. They're normally every two weeks. :3 The adopts open thing is to just let people know that we're accepting forms right now, as we normally don't during the code drop.

Peko
Breed:
Short-Haired kitten
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
Simple, wonderful aquatic design <3

Other:
The small kitten's ears wriggled softly as he pounced on his prey; a small black plushie mouse dangled from a string, held above him by an older girl, about thirteen, but still childish. The kitten, 'Peko', as the girl called him, was picked up and taken the a room nearby, where another cat stood. The girl put Peko down and sighed, "Meiko..." she frowned, looking at the larger cat who was obviously experiencing wanderlust, before she jogged out of the room to get treats.

"Meiko? Why oo want to go outside?"
"... The wind and snow..."
"What about home? Treats?"
"Yes... It is nice here, but..."
"She'd worry,"
"I know..."

Kennel number:
P70
Name:
Brandi
Breed:
Fox
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
Look at the design o3o
Usually an unnatural design like that puts me off things, but she just looks so happy and bubbly and cutee >3<
Well, I have a character thread and often draw for fun, and I am always looking for roleplays I can fit my characters into ^__^
Personality:
Brandi is rather excitable and hyper, never really stopping to think. She's peppy, and will stick up for her friends, though she can't tell when her friends are actually hurt when playing, or if they are just playing. She's bright, knowing some silly facts no-one cares about, often reciting them.
Likes:
Most creatures; includes domestic;
Tag;
"Flying"; pretending to be able to 'fly' with small jumps and imagination;
Dislikes:
Water;
Flies;
Staying still;
History/Background:
Not much, she's barely one year old. Her past was rather normal, growing up with her litter mates and parents, though her father wandered off and got shot, though they don't know what happened to him.
Art:
(Working on!)
Other:
The small creature wriggled out of the tree trunk it had been playing with. It squeaked not once but twice, before commando crawling over and then pouncing on a huge pile of crusty old leaves that had piled up. A small bout of laughter chortled from the now dazed fox, who was slowly trying to concentrate now on a leaf as it flew by in the wind. "Brandiiiii~" a voice rang out, not far north of the playful fox's current location, and again the other voice called out the name of the fox, 'Brandi'.

"Huh?!" the fox, who seemed to be only old enough to be out, blinked, before yelping and running to a tree and hiding herself behind it. Her big bushy tail stuck out, so the approaching fox found her and nudged her, "Found ya! Now you have to help me find the others, okay sis?" the other fox, who seemed only slightly larger, almost ordered, though Brandi didn't seem to mind.

"Okay!"

Name:
Chatter
Breed:
Snake
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
SNAKE DUDE
MUTE SNAKE
>:|
Personality:
Scholarly and quiet; though, often not by choice. He'd like to speak up, and stop people from making decisions for him. He has barely any choice in anything, and he's to polite to just outright to refuse anything, as he can't explain it either.
Likes:
Stories;
Considerate creatures;
Dislikes:
Getting much dirty;
People getting facts wrong;
History/Background:
~has no more words and stuff for a normall history~
Umm. Yep. Stuff? /shot
sorrysorry it's late ;3;
Art:
~working on~
Other:
The scaly creature slithered (darted, if it had legs) quickly through the sandy dunes. He had been picked up by a small child earlier, who had grabbed him as he slept. The scaly snake had been stuffed into a box and taken to a beach, but now he is escaping. The snake dug himself into the sand, and stayed for a moment. Something spoke, "Hey?", so he peeked up and spotted a domestic cat. It meowed softly and looked at him, "Your a... snake? Cool! You poisonous?!" the cat started to get excited, while the snake just blinked, not sure how to tell the creature he could not reply. The cat blinked indignantly, "FIIINNNNEEEEE!!!" it yelled, before pouncing off.

The snake have frowned to himself, except he could hear the girl's voice, he tried to struggle out of his hole, but he kept slipping. Suddenly, he felt teeth against him, though they were trying very hard NOT to kill him. He was dropped behind a tree, and the cat from before looked to him. "Stop getting in trouble mistah snake! Your not much of a chatter are you? Ooh! I know! I'll call you Chatter!"

I am looking to adopt love...
Picture: Image

Kennel number: P85
Name: Akemi and Daichi
Breed: Scene Dog and Dwarf Hotot Rabbit (Just to give Daichi a more specific species)
"Dwarf rabbits are a variety of domestic European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Dwarf rabbits are much smaller than normal rabbits, but are capable of interbreeding with them, so are not recognized as a separate species."

"Like other domestic rabbits, dwarf rabbits consume grasses, grains, hay, and other succulent greens. Their digestive system is somewhat less hardy than European rabbits, and many leafy vegetables such as lettuce and cabbage can give them health problems..."

Excerpts from a search on 'Dwarf rabbit' in Wikipedia since no article on Dwarf Hotot rabbits exist.

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?: I was through the kennels and saw Akemi, and something about Akemi just struck me, but I kept looking. And I kept coming back to Akemi, loving the fact that she had Daichi with her, and ever since I adopted Dot (another scene dog) from here, I've had a certain fondness for scene dogs. Her design is beautiful, I've always loved the darker cinnamon color you can find somewhere between mostly red and pink. Her design incorporates only 4 colors without including her accessories; she is a simple characters whose combined designs work together to create a beautiful character. Akemi and Daichi will have a place in my character thread and I'll make lots of art for them. Since I've promised myself to never use linearts, unless I'm making a litter of puppies to adopt out, they should be used quite a bit in my drawings.

Personality: Akemi isn't shy, and is always supportive of her friends. She is strong on the outside, even if she isn't on the inside. When others are counting on her the most Akemi will rise to the occasion and act confident that she can fix the problem, even if she is scared out of her mind. There is always time to break down with fear later; right now Akemi can not allow her emotions get the better of her.

Daichi is quiet, not that he really has a choice, but if he could speak he would be the quiet type that listened patiently. And Daichi does listen patiently, helping out Akemi and his other friends as much as he can. Daichi doesn't need to be able to speak to convey his feelings - how he acts tells more than a thousand words could hope to convey. Daichi doesn't hide his feelings, he openly expresses them; no one can pretend they don't know Daichi's true feelings.

Likes: Daichi - Ribbons - Berries - Really tall trees - Hummingbirds

Akemi - Sweet grass in small hidden meadows - The tiny details - Sunshine as seen on the forest floor after being filtered by trees - Hummingbirds with their slender beaks and way of zipping through their sentences like they can't wait to get the next one out

Dislikes: Humans - Guns - Fire - Traps - Hawks - Eating Rabbit, after meeting Daichi she vowed to never again

Snares set up to catch rabbits, especially when their full - Things that go boom and mess up your ears for a few minutes - Hawks with their superior attitudes and beady eyes - Rain that drenches through your fur and leaves you cold to your bones

History/Background: Akemi's mother had run away from her owners, deciding that life for her unborn pups would be better in the forest than in the hands of her cruel owners. So Akemi's mother chewed through the leather leash that kept her prisoner in her owner's front lawn of dirt. She had only one pup, Akemi, and taught her young pup how to survive as she herself learned how to. Akemi and her mother shared a close bond, by the time disease took Akemi's mother they were nearly inseparable. Akemi had been blinded by grief when she realized her mother was dead one morning. She'd stumbled through the forest, unaware of where she was going or any pain from multiple falls and branches smacking her. But if it hadn't been for that Akemi would never have met Daichi; falling asleep sometime late at night in unfamiliar section of the forest Akemi awoke to a young white rabbit carefully tending to her scratches and scrapes. Akemi quickly bonded with the silent young rabbit Daichi; Akemi found out Daichi's name by asking one of his numerous relatives.

"Nice catch Akemi!" Akemi's mother, Liala, commented. A muffled, "Thanks mom." made its way out of Akemi's mouth from behind the plump brown rabbit. Akemi was worried though, Liala hadn't been feeling well for weeks and her voice was hoarse. Akemi shook off her worry though, and dropped the rabbit in front of her mother. "I'm not too hungry mom, you eat it." Liala didn't protest, Akemi knew she was constantly hungry, whatever sickness Liala had made her burn through all the food she ate so within an hour Liala would be hungry once again. Darkness was beginning to settle over the forest as Akemi laid down next to her mother. Liala and Akemi watched the sunset together, quietly enjoying the others company. By the time the hole-filled dark blue cloth that covered the sun during the night covered the sky, both Liala and Akemi were fast asleep.

Art: WIP - working on a reference sheet for Akemi

Other: Will be working on this alot, adding more stories and artwork. I am determined to get Akemi and Daichi by the next codedrop on Januaray 14th.
