Tracker Dog Application Series 20 Username: Horneddragon
Tracker Dog you want: 67
Name you'll give it: Shawrion
(sha-wer-ion)
NOT
(Shaw-rion)
hes not a pokemon xD
A fusion of Orion, A Giant Huntsman That Zeus put into the stars, and Shaw, meaning small wood copse
Nickmane: Shaw
Reason for the name?I actually could not decide, I liked Orion, Pronounced OH- Ryan, but it did not fit him, so i then move on to Shaw, It fit him better but in my opinion seemed to gruff and short, so in my love for both names i fused them together, thus creating Shawrion.
Reason why you want it:He Is large and in charge!No really Why
DO i want this Tracker?
I have stalked your thread for a wile , and when you announced the you would be leaving I was a bit crestfallen, I loved your art so much. When series 20 arrived I was awestruck, again you had crafted together beautiful works of art with in each tracker, and I was determined to get one of these, not only because I want to make a tracker my own, but also I wanted a bit of a memento of your work that I could cherish.Many of the trackers had caught my attention, but i was unanimously drawn to 2 of them, the first was the areal, she invoked old feelings and dreams within me from my child hood, but as i wrote i realized i could not create a satisfactory story with her as the focus, since i did not have a good connection with her. My site then moved onto the 2nd, the final tracker of the batch, he was not as intricate as the others, but he had a wild beauty that brought forth a quality of mysteriousness to my eyes. I fell in love with his coloration the expert transitioning of browns, and the additions of the "bone patterns" I melted when i noticed the charming skull pattern, and I marveled at your usage of "neon" green and russet to accent him and give him an even wilder coloration. It was not until I had initially fallen in love with the tracker that I realized that he was one of a kind, a never before seen species. My heart lept and i found i wanted him more, not because of the, "Oh look an OOAK tracker i must have it!" mentality i believe some others who have applied for him posses. But because I truly fell in love with the creature before i even knew, and I appreciate the work, the time, and the detail you put into creating him. I would be honored if you deemed me worthy enough to take on the responsibility of keeping this tracker.
Will it be used in any kind of story? Yes he will, The moment i saw him a story outline began forming in my mind, He will "run with the wolves" or the hunters as they are called in my story, the intro i will wright is just the beginning of the story i hope you like it, and if I am deemed able to keep him, I will finish the story, If not I guess i will have to re write it xD
So you know what you'll be sending him into:The Werewolf Hunters, known as hunters, are an ancient, yet very rare, race. Though their creation is much like that of a werewolf yet it has some differences.
Creation of a werewolf hunter:
~ Hunter must be young when bitten, no older than 20
~ Hunter must have some relation to werewolf that bites them
~ Hunter must have control over magic
~ hunter must be in a "favorite form"
` a favorite form is one they like to change into, when Allana was bitten at 11 she was fighting her brother in the form of a wolf,this form is also passed down through the generations, hence the reason why her children also have a wolf form.Hunters can also be created by "breeding" if a pure hunter breeds with another pure, the offspring will be pure. Likewise if a hunter breeds with a human, the children will still be hunters, but they will be half breeds.
This story focus's on the Cherrone pack of hunters, they are called a pack even though there are only 3 of them. The Cherrone pack is mad up of:
Allana,
the first hunter of the pack and both the other two's mother she is the only fully grown Werewolf hunter in Brittan;
Alex,
Son of a murder and Allana, Alex got his father looks scorned for it as a child Alex became quite and calculating and at times even bored of his life,
Maria she has her mothers looks almost to a T except she has brown colored hair rather than red, though she is also a child of a murderer she was not scorned because of the resemblance to her mother.
The hunters in this story patrol the woods of a nearby forest, why? because in this story all of the things of nightmares come alive.
About the Breed:Breed :
Lukos Tracker:
(lukos means "wolf")The lukos tracker was developed from a small genetic miscalculation, but it brought forth a new and much improved tracker. Well suited for tracking on all terrains, Its fur is shaggy and insulated, helping it stay cool in the heat and warm in the cold. The fur even seems to have a thin layer of water proof fur, keeping the tracker mostly dry in the rain or snow. Though we are unsure as to the complete abilities of this new tracker species, They seem to exert more strength and stamina that the normal tracker, and work best when tailing someone in a literal maze of turns. We believe after some strict training this new species will make the all around perfect police tracker.
Describe its personality:"highlights"
Cocky:The tracker flicked his short thin tail, and snorted at the human who had just asked him a question. He could not believe the human would be so stupid as to ask "What are your talents?" weren't they as plain as day?
He was Handsome, Charming, Witty, Fast, Stronger than any tracker before him, oh and did he say handsome. Cant for get that one....
Crafty:The Tracker stared at the lock, why would they put him in something so .. so vulgar? the cage was far to small, and this lock.. this lock was easily broken.. or, flexing the claws on his middle limbs, opened. He adjusted himself so he could get the middle appendages through the barred door. With a quick flick of his claws he was free, and he bolted for the door...
Brazen:The Tracker stood on the rock, looking down at the advancing group below him, It was made up of 2 stealth's , 4 normals and a wild. He Took in a long drought of air and smiled coyly, There was even an areal tracker in the skys. This will be perfect. He thought, He let out a bone chilling howl to give away his presence, and waited as the 7 closed in on his position.
"hyperactive"The tracker looked around the small clearing, he was bored, bored out if his mind. Slowly he traced one claw down the side of the rut he had formed by pacing in circles. He was not sure were he was, odd scents flooded around him in a cascade of new and interesting things.They both excited and disturbed him as they blended together with the sounds around him helping him form a picture of the area he was in. His paws itched to run hard and fast through the sparse underbrush that surrounded the area, and he gladly obliged, happy to finally get moving again.
"descriptive" personality:Shawrion Is a wild and unruly tracker. He tends to challenge authority and cannot always be told what to do. He easily fits in with the Cherrone pack of hunters. He enjoys the challenge of hunting the werewolves of the forest and protecting the bordering towns, and humans from attack's. He has no real want for a mate, this is because of his knowledge that he is the only one of his kind, and he has never met a single other tracker in his life time that was not trying to kill or harm him. This small fact has also lead to a deep distrust for other trackers, no one except him really knows what went on in the early stages of his life, and hes not talking.
He is not happy unless he is in the pursuit of something and must always stay mobile or keep entertained. When he first met Alex, he stepped in out of respect for his will to keep fighting even though he was all but defeated. The fight with the were wolf, though it was easily over powered, awakened a deep want for blood and a need to protect and kill, this is believed to be a result of that small genetic miscalculation. In addition, if he cannot "get some fresh air" every now and then he will experience a deep melancholy and depression.
Though he was not born there, he quickly adapted to forest life the constant drone of crickets birds, or the like help him create a picture of his surroundings like a bad uses sonar, if there is an absence of sound though, he is not rendered useless, he developed an ability to admit a lone tone growl, undetectable by anyone other than himself and others with hearing of the same caliber as him.
He is as fast, if not faster than the Hunters in wolf form, that paired with his strength helps make him a formidable enemy to anything on two or four legs, unfortunately from living in the forest his ability to fight anything that stays primary areal in combat is all but gone.
There are two ways to render him completely useless in battle or tracking, any high frequency sound will stun him for a short period of time, making him venerable to attack, and serious injury. He is also highly susceptible to noxious gasses, this is amplified by his heightened sense of smell which spawned from the large sensory gland that adorns his muzzle.
Likes:~ Birds, insects and other "noise makers"
they help him get a baring on were he is, and helps with his "sonar"~ Music,
He finds that music is actually quite calming though he cannot decide if he likes classical or metal better~ Food,
preferably raw food~ Attention
He must have attention and be lavished by people, he loves praise and strives to out class others because of his want for attention.~ Darkness
with his dark brown coloration, he can easily hide and sneak up on his prey in the shadows of the nightDisslikes:~ Cages:
They restrict his freedom and make him feel helpless~ loud/super sonic noises
They over load his sense of hearing, rendering him useless~ Fear
He does not like to feel this sensation, it makes him feel weak.Theme song(s) :Iridescent, Linkin ParkBreak, 3 Days GraceBlue, The Birthday MassacreWhy are there 3?Well i could not decide, each fits a different trait i believe he has, and with each time i heard them i I imagined a picture of him doing something to each, weather it was fighting, running or the like.
Write an introduction for your Tracker: <The large brown tracker stopped by a small gurgling stream, he slowly bent down and took a long drought from the cool clear water, it ran down his throat soothing the raw burning sensations that throbbed deep from with in. He let out a low sigh, he could see clearly here, well as clearly as something that depended on sound and smell to give him a picture of his surroundings could. It had been days since he broke out of the compound were he was created, he had been perused for a time, but it seemed like they had given up their search after he ripped apart the first few patrols they sent after him, he flicked his short tail in minor annoyance, They were no fun at all! He rose to stand on all four of his paws, and flexed the claws on his middle appendages, surely there was something worth his time here in the forest, and he was ready to find it!>
Alex Lifted his snout to the sky, or well what he could see of it in the pine thicket. He was on what his family playfully called "guard duty" and he was far from happy about it. He looked back down to the floor of the forest, a small puddle laid stagnant not far from were he sat, he trotted over and stared deeply into it. At one time, what seemed like ages ago, the black and red furred wolf staring back at him jarred him to fright, with his cruel yellowed eyes and sharp white fangs he was quite the sight. but now, the wolf was part of him, just another version, if not a more frightening one.
Slowly he morphed into a human, the cruel eyes of the wolf fading to dark almost black pits in a face of too pale skin framed by long curling locks of oily black hair. The face reflected contorted into a shadow of a smile, it was a well known face, the face of a mass murder, and the face of his father. He stood slowly, eyes never leaving those of the cruel face in the puddle. "Discempra" He screeched, he did not need the word, his will alone was strong enough to make the puddle explode into the air. The light caught the falling cascade before it hit the ground, each drop creating a prism of brilliant colors..
Caught in the trance of the fading crystal droplets, Alex did not notice the sharp sound of a twig breaking, or the heavy breathing of the thing stalking him in the shadows, no Alex was a little oblivious to the world at the time. For him it could have been a fatal mistake. A loud Roar Echoed through the woods, snapping Alex back to reality. He seamlessly changed to wolf form, his instinctual reflexes moving just quick enough to dodge the thing that had launched itself at him from deep withing the woods.
His scenes went into overload as the musky putrid scent that followed his attacker met his nose, with a low guttural growl he turned to face the werewolf. A slight stab of worry came across him as he took in this adversary, this wolf was much larger than he was, fully mature and towering over him by at least a head's length. He cursed his luck and his immature teen body. But his resolve was only shaken, and even though he was seriously outmatched Alex would never back down from this fight, or any fight for that matter. He was a werewolf hunter, thousands of years of evolution had resulted in him and his family. He was more than qualified to take on this adversary, no matter his size.
The werewolf lunged at Alex without giving any kind of warning, successfully surprising the young hunter. A loud screech ripped through the surrounding woods, and to his horror he discovered he was the cause,the werewolf's claws had ripped open his side clear to the bones, he was launched him across the clearing and landed sides heaving trying to catch his breath. Shivering and bleeding profusely Alex rose to his paws.He let loose a defiant snarl and launched himself back into the fray. Both wolves clashed, Showing the surrounding area with blood and flying fur, in a flurry of claws and teeth, this time the two wolves stayed connected, muscles rippling as each tried to land the blow that would incapacitate the other. After some time neither was luck enough to land such a blow, but the fight was taking it's toll on the already wounded Alex, his strength was waning, and both knew it. With a howl of almost defeat Alex fell to the ground shivering,the werewolf had landed the lucky blow. A deep gash stretched across Alex's back rendering him, for the time being, immobile.
With a triumphant howl the Werewolf raised his claws up for the killing blow, Alex braced what little parts of his body he could still feel for it, but it never came. He opened his blurry eyes to see a large dog like creature on top of the werewolf, for a split second the thought it was another hunter, one of his family who heard the battle coming to rescue poor Alex from certain death, and for a monment he was angry. But its proportions were all wrong, not to mention its color was off as well, both his mother and his sister were red colored, and this creature was as brown as the trees that surrounded him. From what he could tell its anatomy was made up of a short thin tail, and ears too long for a wolf, it was larger than Alex, but shorter than his mother. Another shiver racked through his body, but weather it was from the pain or the fact that his vision cleared enough to see that it had 3 sets of claws, he was unsure. The fight did not last long, this new 6 appendaged dog-like creature was quite strong, and seemed to have a knack for fighting, with a final loud howl the creature sliced through the fur and sencitive skin on the face of the werewolf, sending it scampering away for the time being, blinded by blood and sections of ragged skin. Slowly the dog like creature turned to face Alex, and with it Alex got the 2nd shock of his night.
It has no eyes
The realization hit him like ton of bricks, and set him on edge as it slowly approached him.
But if that were true then how can it see?
he wondered, It seemed to have no problem what so ever picking out were Alex or the werewolf was for that matter, so it had to have some sort of sight. Deciding to ponder the creatures ability of sight later, a cold claw of fear seized his stomach at the creature slowly set its sites on him.
Instincts had him bracing for the worst,as he watched the creature nonchalantly close the gap between them. A loud sigh of relief escaped his lips as it settled down about a foot away silently watching him, though he could only assume it was watching him. He fought off the blackness that had begun to claw at the edges of his vision once more, he was loosing too much blood but he wanted to examine this creature closer wile he had the chance. Its markings were quaint, but oddly added a terrifying quality to it. The mixed browns that made up the main body of his pelt would provide cover for it in the dark shadows of the woods, and a light skull like patter on his head gave him the needed look of "malice" that any predator in the woods needed to have. His fur was shaggy and long, with a thick mane and tufts of urn on his legs the color of blood, all together they gave him a wild and free spirited look, like some ancient beast of legend come to life before him. Basically he was something Alex would have expected to see here in these woods, but oddly he had never encountered such a magnificent creature.
Yet again the blackness clawed at the edge of his thoughts, and vision. He knew he could not fight it off this time, he was just too weak for the time being. with a last ditch effort to seem humble two words formed on Alex's lips, "Thank you" they were not what he had meant to say, and a hot blush formed on his face behind the black fur, he thought he heard a low chuckle, but it seemed so distant, so far away. Slowly he fell in to a dizzying world of darkness, one stray though came forward in the jumbled mess that had become his groggy blood lost head,
how will I explain this to my family, or worse.. My mother?
