Pound of Hope [CLOSED PERMANENTLY]

[ika;]

Kennel Number ;; p19 F36
Name ;; Katoori Adaeus Fínmorian
{I loved Katoori's original name, so I decided to keep it. It fits her so well, and I love the gentle sound it has to it- it looks exotic and is definitely unusual, so that's what I chose it to remain as. Adaeus however, comes from 'Acaeus', an ancient, latinized form of 'Akakios', which means 'innocent, not evil' in old Greek. His last name, Fínmorian, is inspired by my huge love for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The 'Moria' ending refers to an ancient Dwarf mine, and 'Fín' comes from Fíngolfin, a character and founder of the city of Noldor. I think they fit well together <3}

Breed ;; Saluki Crystal Born Unicorn

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?: Let's start with Katoori. Those that know me will definitely know I prefer natural based designs, so I often scrolled straight past this beautiful girl. But something changed today- I looked at her and suddenly wanted her so very badly, the first thing I did was come and write up a form. I couldn't believe what I'd been missing out on; I simply love everything about her! Her colour, her gorgeous lined eyes, that river of silky tail and hair. I'd be so happy to have her. On to Adaeus- he's another one I scrolled straight past. I never really connect with horse characters, until now. I think he's absolutely magnificent, and his species is not only intriguing, but inspiring. I feel like I could write pages about him! I adore his design, and that fiery shade of red <3 If I got Katoori and Adaeus, they would both have a page in my character thread. The link is in my signature. I treat all my characters well, with regular art and writing, so Katoori and Adaeus would be no exception. I may roleplay them both, too, if I can find a literate one with a good plot.

Personality: Katoori is quite the character. She's not particularly social- not because she has 'issues' or some other petty reason, but simply because she doesn't like being around others. She doesn't like the feeling of having to constantly watch what she says, so she chooses to stay away from them and is quite content with this. Currently, she works as a barmaid in an inn, just for the money. Katoori is good at holding her tongue, keeping her opinions to herself.

Adaeus is ageless- he has lived for hundreds of years, so it is natural that with this comes great wisdom. He is highly intelligent, but never uses this maliciously unless those he loves are under direct threat. Adaeus, being one of huge magical talent, is not only mentally strong but physically, too. His body is stocked with muscle, and the spires of crystal are sharp and deadly. He has the build of a draft horse- think shire horse, or similar. His crystals grow outwards for at least three more feet, giving him a massive overall appearance. He may appear intimidating, but he's a gentle soul at heart, and would never willingly hurt someone that is innocent. He guards the crystal caves and protects them from harm- a job he takes very seriously. Adaeus has an affinity for rock and stone, and his magic is even strong enough to cause earthquakes. Let's make another thing clear- Adaeus is not a horse. Not even close. He is a unicorn, thus making him completely separate. Horses have limited emotion and intelligence, and in the world he lives in, they are used for transport and battles. Adaeus has a complete human range of emotion, and an intelligence that far surpasses that of a human- he is much smarter, and has a conscious mind of his own, with his own thoughts and reasoning.

Likes: Quiet, personal space, respect, honesty. Anything related to the earth, safety, intellect, kindness.
Dislikes: Shouting, being confined, tight spaces, lies. Abuse of the environment, judgmental characters, rudeness, being seen as a horse.

{ their story is set in ancient times, before technology- horses are the only means of transport other than walking, there are Kingdoms, not countries, and battles are fought the old way; with sword and shield }

History/Background:

The night was quiet, and only a soft breeze rustled the trees- a movement that could barely be detected by the sharpest of eyes in the dark. Katoori was tired- her bones ached and she longed to return home, but the walk was treacherous. She had been out in the grasslands picking hops and seedlings for the brewery at the inn; a job she didn't mind, as it meant time by herself in the scenic valleys- framed by towering mountains. But the return journey called for her to cross the lava flats. A volcanic land in itself, the ash from the dormant volcanoes gave fertility to the many flowers and lush grasses, but the flats were dangerous. The ground shifted and oozed molten rock, black slabs of dried magma drifted on a white hot sea of lava; in places bubbling right out of the ground in thick, viscous puddles. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem for Katoori. She was agile- and had crossed it many times, knowing the most solid path; she could usually dart across it in minutes, and be out on the grassy verge on the other side. But this time, the sight of the flats turned her stomach. Frowning, she pushed the growing sense of unease aside, and stepped lightly onto the first slab. It held, and Katoori's confidence increased. Moving diagonally, she leapt onto the next- and the next. The verge was coming into sight, and with an easy smile, Katoori's foot reached for another. It found empty air.

Before she knew it, she was falling. Wheeling down into a vast crevasse, dark so solid that she could see nothing. Too stunned to even cry out, Katoori crashed again and again into the rocky walls, feeling bones crunch and bruises form. Aware of a wetness on her back, the female knew she was bleeding. Still she fell. The wind rushed at her, taking all the breath from her body, and her screams along with it. Her arms flailed for a hold, but found nothing. So this is how it ends.A heavy sadness settled in her heart. But I've barely lived yet. Then, as suddenly as she had fallen, Katoori was aware of a bone-cracking impact, before darkness claimed her.

----

"Wake up?

"Vass bi leibz tnam?"

"Lle anta amin tu?"

"Come, child. There must be some language you speak." The voice was deep, but gentle. A note of kindness rang in it- inducing a feeling of safety in the girl's chest. Then she awoke. Blinking dazedly, she looked around. She could see she lay in a gaping cavern- only a thin stripe of moonlight visible from high, high above. A sense of detachment came with the realization that she was underground. The walls were rocky, but glittered with all sorts of gems and golden flakes, and they seemed to glow with a fiery warmth. The lava? Katoori's disconnected mind managed. A fierce pain in her shoulder and waist forced a cry from her then, and she sat painfully upright. "Steady." Came the voice again. Flinching, Katoori slowly turned her head to see a magnificent equine, a deep shade of crimson, with spikes of onyx jutting out from all over his body. "A crystal unicorn..." She breathed, awed. These were the creatures that great tales were told of- these magical beings that were so powerful, entire battles could be swayed with just one. But they were rare, and the girl could hardly believe her eyes. The beast gave a nod, before striding towards her- the echo of his hooves resonating through the chamber. "You are extremely lucky that you landed in the pool. If you'd have hit the ground, you certainly would have died." He paused, gathering his thoughts. "But you are not without injury. Your shoulder is dislocated, and you have a laceration on your waist. I have packed it with ground moonstone, so it should heal very quickly. But your shoulder I cannot fix."

[Irios Atelis]

I am looking to adopt...



Kennel number:
P21

Name:
Avex

Breed:
Shepperd Anthro

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
Well I was thinking on my current obsession with Anthro characters and decided to take a look through the adoption centers, I didn't have much hope to find one I liked as I had searched on the Character trading forms and on Deviantart but I had been unable to find anything that immediately strikes me. However as I scrolled down I saw an image of this gorgeous boy..... and kept scrolling.

Well even as I did though I was already forming a personality in my head and by the time I had given in to utter temptation I had devised a brief history for him as well.

I like his design as it is simplistic with natural colours yet it instantly stands out as unique and something not seen before in the dozens of repeating designs here.

He will be Fray's (who you will meet later) best friend.

Personality:
.: Look on Life :.
Avex's look on life is rather simple. If it doesn't directly concern him or affect those he cares for. He doesn't care!
His usual approach on life is to party hard and have fun which causes him to come home drunk on more occasions than one, however this doesn't seem to bother him as he comes off as very thick skinned and nothing seems to phase him in life.

His cheerful approach to things however can possibly be his fear of growing up, he doesn't really do commitments or anything of that sort however he doesn't seem to realize this nor to may people around him.

.: Annoying things :.
As does everyone Avex has his fair share of annoying little traits that annoy people to no end, for example his arrogance, he comes off as king of the world and gods gift to the lady's although most women would absolutely hate this and one would think it would drive them off however it seems to work fairly well. He doesn't want to hurt people but Avex just can't seem to handle a solid relationship unless it's with his best friend Fray and that seems to be sheer luck she hasn't abandoned him yet.

He does have a drinking habit although it's not a problem he spends most of his nights down at the local bar although he is not usually always able he certainly does try his best.

.: What people see :.
When people look at Avex to them he is a happy go lucky guy with a knack for finding every party and getting into trouble no matter how small, anyone who spends time with him can't help but love him if he lets them in,
He has a reputation of being stand offish to those he doesn't know and once or twice he has been caught on the wrong side of the law which has soiled his reputation a little.

.: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger :.
Avex's greatest strength would have to be his ability to cruse through life and although he is not as well off as his parents would want him to be he has a job that brings him a little money but most of the time he would prefer to go without rather than put the effort in to obtain things.

.: Downfall :.
Because of his reputation Avex is usually cautiously approached if at all and because of his social nature this affects him negatively, that's another reason why he is commonly found at the pub, is because if someone's drunk, their much more inclined to be friendly or give him a chance.

~ .: Cars :. ~

Dislikes:

~ .: Negativity :. ~
~ .: Running out of drink :. ~
~ .: Isolation :. ~


History/Background:

Avex grew up in a smaller town, where everyone knew one another and life was pretty simple.
Common to young male pups he would get into trouble with a band of friends and together they would play many a prank, making up tree forts and 'attacking' anyone who dared approach him. For the most part this was probably the best part of his life, when nothing was expected of him and he could do as he wished.

His schooling wasn't the best, he went to a small school in town, poor quality and underpaid teachers caused him to skip out on most of the school work, becoming a rebellious class clown, playing numerous pranks on his teachers and those who displeased him although few of these have ever been tied to him.

High school wasn't much better, he had talent and smarts however Avex just lacked the motivation to do anything, he scraped by with the bare essentials, enough to get him by and that was just about it, he doesn't really talk about that much if he can help it however he was suspended quite a few times...

He met his best friend Fray at after a rather tipsy night at the bar, he was staggering home more unconscious than anything, his vision flickering and wavering as he attempted to find his way home, eventually he saw a light in a corner store and staggered in groaning.

Before he could demand a drink of water to clear his head however his gaze met from what he could make out, a lovely silver wolf type girl, slurring his speech he attempted a suave tone,
"Hey babe.... watcha.... doin out on a night.... like this one?"
"Getting some supplies." She replied with a strong Italian accent, seeming displeased yet amused at the same time.
Before Avex's brain could formulate an appropriate response however he attempted to lean on the counter which he missed entirely, hitting his head with an audible thump before he blacked out.

Avex had woken the next day to find himself sprawled on an unknown couch while the lady from the previous night was making what smelled like fried eggs. Soon they got talking where Frey revealed she couldn't just leave him unconscious on the floor and had helped him into her house. Within weeks they were the best of friends and still remain so to this day...

I am looking to adopt...
Picture:
Kennel number: Star of the Drop (or Kennel F29)
Name:Sandra
Breed: Tattoo rat
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?: I am looking for a fursona that's different, and has a great personality, and I think Sandra is perfect. The last owner's rules are plain and simple, and I like things like that.
Personality: Sandra is naturally curious, fun, and intresting, but she is also shy and won't even poke her head out of her mouse hole . Since she used to live in a human house(before she moved to the countryside) She has some exciting tales from living in the floorboards.
Likes: Sandra likes Adventure, Watermelon, and Friends.
Dislikes:New people
History/Background:Sandra was an only child, and she had parents who where relatively wealthy rats who lived alone with Sandra in the house of a human, so sandra is fairly shy around other rats. Because of this Sandra has alot of free time and adventures in and out of mouse-holes. Her stories may or may not be true(nobody knows). Sandra is a trouble maker and one time she set a mouse trap on the human since he put one in her mouse hole.
"Dad come out here," snickered Sandra
"What did you do now," her dad questioned

SNAP!!!!!!

Sandra's dad looks at her with an angry look on his face, "Sandra, go to your mouse hole!"
Sandra's dad started muttering to himself about MORE traps and rat poison.
Over the next 5 weeks there was an abundance of rat poison, and traps filled with yummy foods like cheese and watermelon, but Sandra's dad had told her to never touch any of it.
"Come on Dad," whined Sandra, "I can easily jump the mouse trap and get the watermelon!"
" NO, it is extremely dangerous," Exclaimed Sandra's Dad.
Sandra hated her patents at moments like this, but she still looks kindly upon them and misses them. Sandra's parents were killed when an exterminator came and sprayed their mouse hole with poison. That is when Sandra fled the house, and into the woods.
