Pet's ID Tag: 106.
Name You'd Choose for It: Myr.
Nickname: Playfully called, "Murmur", sometimes.
Gender: Male.
Reason You Want It: I've always wanted a leopard character, whether it be a snow leopard or regular leopard. When I saw this boy, I immediately knew that I had to go for him. I had been debating on which donation to go for and as soon as I saw him, I knew that I would have to try for him. I immediately saw his story unfolding before me and knew that I would have to write it out. He would be featured in stories involving the Shinigami wolf pack that I'm going to create soon. To me, he looks like a very spiritual type of feline with some special power. His bubbly picture and stunning blue eyes reeled me in the moment I saw him. I knew that he would be a perfect little guy to release my inner ideas on with stories of how he got his powers and what’s going on in his adorable little head. I usually have troubles coming up with names for my characters, but as soon as I saw him, I thought, “Myr”, we just had an immediate connection, as cheesy as that sounds. <3 I'll definitely get plenty of art of him, I mean, how could I not with such a wonderful design? He'd also be written about and doodled all over my school notes. He'd have a nice home in my character thread and would be much loved and welcomed among my current characters. ^^
History/Background/Other:Personality: Myr is rather spunky; he has a positive view of life. He can be feisty at times; he’s good at getting what he wants. He’s often found playing around, daring himself to beat his self-set records. He’s easy to make friends with; outgoing and kindhearted. Although, he can be defensive if ever questioned and always tries to push himself to his full potential. This drive gives him a lot of energy, even if he doesn’t have it to spare, his brain makes him think he does. He’s known for pulling or straining his muscles. Myr likes to prove what he can do to others. He always wants to be looked up to and hates to get in trouble; the thought of being in trouble sends his heart plummeting into his stomach. Myr likes to be trusted, and has a strange sense of what others think of him, whether it be good or bad. Myr can be a bit overbearing at times, but for good reasons. He likes to try to push his loved ones into doing the best that they can do and to never give up. In general, Myr means well, he’s your typical heroic type, always wanting to rush in and save everyone. Though, that can’t always happen, because sometimes, Myr doubts himself, and when he does, it affects him greatly, causing him to go into a state of lethargy until he figures out what he’s doing wrong. He’s a rather spiritual snow leopard, in tune with his feelings and will often sit alone and reflect upon them every day.

Special Note: Has Basiphobia. (Fear of falling.)
Added Accessory: A black necklace that loops around his neck twice; it is embedded with many bloodstones. The necklace is made of Eastern Dragon mane and lotus stems. It was given to him by Byakko to help control his powers.
Special Powers: Myr has a few abilities. Firstly, he is able to “go to sleep” and detach his soul from his body. His body is in extreme danger when he does this, but his soul is able to fly wherever it wants to go; only the supernatural and gods can see his spirit when he breaks it away from his body. He is also able to see shinigami (death angels) with his special vision, whether he tries to or not, he can see and communicate with them. Lastly, he can sense another animal or person’s problems if he touches them. Usually, visions from their past memories flow into him. When he experiences one’s extreme hurt, this often leaves him weak. When using this part of his power, his eyes glow bright white-blue. The necklace he wears allows him to touch others without sensing their issues. (The necklace only works 70% of the time.) It also doesn’t allow his spirit to drift away when he sleeps.
Backstory: Suddenly, I felt it; my worst fear was happening, right here, right now. It all seemed to happen in slow motion. My necklace, the one that caused my spirit to cling to me and allowed me to touch others without fainting was slipping from my neck. My weight shifted backwards, slowly… slowly… My front paws left the ground and my jaw began to part for the desperate yell that was about to explode from my air-filled lungs. My heart was probably going a million miles a minute, but I could only feel it pulsing slowly…
Thrum… thrum… thrum… And then… My whole life, all of those important events, flashed before my eyes…
I remember being born in the frigid mountains, somewhere far, far away from civilization. I could easily bound down the mountain in about five minutes and hit a small alpine grove. I remember mother and father teaching me how to hunt and fend for myself. By the time I was one year old I was ready to live on my own. My parents always knew I was different, but I didn't. I thought I was just dreaming when my soul left my body. I didn't obtain the power to look into others' pasts until I was about three. I didn't know what shinigami were until I was two. I've just had the powers since I was born... two of them at least. It all seemed normal, to me, a young snow leopard. Now I'm only four and I think I'm falling to my death. I had so much ahead of me... But... now...? I don't know. It's not happening fast at all, I'm kind of floating out of myself at this point. At least I think my soul has left my body. I'm so disoriented, I hate falling. I actually have a phobia of it because when I was a cub, I was pushed by a playmate accidentally into the freezing lake in the middle of the forest grove. I nearly died that day. Ever since then I've had a massive fear of falling down. Felines are supposed to be graceful aren't they?
Shinigami are amazing creatures... They track down lost souls, kill those who need to be killed, solve mysteries involving death. Though they're death angels, they're actually pretty nice. I've spoken with a few in my life... The first time I spoke to one was when I was just a cub. The shinigami was horrified because it thought it had disappeared and its powers were malfunctioning. But that wasn't true, it's just my special eyes that can see them. Mortals can usually only see shinigami if the shinigami wants them to see. Usually before you die, I think.
I understand that by adopting this creature I take full responsibility for it.
