Use/Why I want him:

As soon as I saw this character I knew I just had to have him! I'm also applying for two other characters at the "Break of Dawn" adoption agency and this boy would the perfect father for the puppy and the perfect mate for the adult. Even if I don't win them but I win this guy, I would still love him to pieces. I would give him a home in my character thread and I would get art of him and just draw art of him myself. I rarely adopt characters, but this pup really stood out to me. I am going to try my hardest to get him.

- Digging Deeper -

Personality:

Brave

Max is very fearless and will do anything to protect his family and friends. He was raised in a harsh family and was often left to take care of himself. He'd have to face things on his own and be brave. When a snake tried to attack him, Max pierced its skin with his sharp teeth, causing it to die. This was the one of the bravest things he had ever done, especially since he was incredibly young at the time. He was also brave when he ran away from home after standing up to family.

Goofy

Max can be rather serious at times, but he's almost always joking around. He especially loves pretending to chase his pup. He's very good at making puns about whatever is going on. Max is funny and goofy so he can cover up his true feelings of pain inside. Many things trigger certain events from his past. He'll even go to the extent of joking about his insecurities. Whenever he is in a happy mood, however, he makes funny jokes that he feels proud of that, as a plus, makes everyone laugh.

Strong

Max is strong mentally and physically. As a pup he was very scrawny, but over time he made himself gain strength and weight. He is very muscular and can pull things nearly double his weight! He became strong by pulling small carts with various fruits and vegetables around the farm where he lives. Being a collie, he is very smart and is quick to solve problems that he faces. He was especially strong when standing up to his siblings and parents when he had had enough of them pushing him around.

Friendly

Max is very friendly and approachable. Despite being rather depressed, he always puts a happy face on for everyone else. Few can see through his emotional wall. He's always there for anyone who needs his help. You'll usually find him surrounding by pups who are attracted to his positive attitude. You may even find some females hovering around him. Even though Max is loyal to his mate, he doesn't mind getting the extra attention. It makes him feel like he has worth.

Selfless

Max is always willing to help anyone out. Even if it requires going out of his own way. He can sometimes be taken advantage of and it has definitely happened in the past. Due to being kicked around as a child, Max wants to make sure others don't have to deal with the same thing he did. He will often give up doing something, anything, to help someone in need.

History:

Max grew up on a farm with his mother, father, and five siblings. Being the runt, he was bullied a lot by his family. His mother would always blame him if something went wrong even if it wasn't his fault. He was often left behind during family activities and they never would help him if he was in trouble. He nearly died from getting too close to a snake and his parents said it was his own fault. In the barn where they all slept, Max had to sleep alone while his siblings huddle together with his parents. When he was four years old, he had had enough of his family pushing him around. He left them while on a trip to the city. There, he met Evangeline, or as he called her, Evvie. They clicked right away became best of friends and later mates. A year after meeting Evvie, she became pregnant with his pups. They moved quickly and found a cozy barn where she gave birth to three small pups. The humans living on the farm didn't mind the family of dogs there, but when the pups became old enough, the humans sold them off to other humans. Only one stayed behind, Millicent(Millie). These days Max, Evvie, and Millie enjoy sleeping in their barn and walking around the farm.

Accessories:
Bandana

When Max first ran away from his family, he was quite lost and confused. It hadn't even been a week since he left and he had already gotten attacked by multiple dogs. Luckily, Evvie was there to save his butt, but Max still got beat up pretty badly. One day, a huge Doberman sliced Max's neck with his claws. Evvie freaked out and didn't know what to do. If it wasn't for an elderly Lab who gave him the bandana to wrap around his wound, Max would have been a goner. Even after the wound healed, Max kept the bandana always tied around his neck. Even though it gives him bad memories, it also reminds him that even though life is tough, you can still continue on with the right material.

Likes:
Warm summer afternoons

-He loves how relaxing it feels and is the perfect lazy weather.

His mate

-His mate, Evvie, is his everything and she's always there for him when he can be there for himself.

His pup

-His pup, Millie, is very shy but can read feelings very well. If Max is feeling bad, Millie is alway there to snuggle with him.

Apple juice

-On the farm, he loves apple picking season when the crisp smell of apples is everywhere. His favorite part is getting to drink the extra apple juice.

Long frolics through the forest

-Like the summer, he loves how relaxing trekking through the forest. He especially loves walking with Evvie and Millie.

Dislikes:
Snakes

-After a close encounter as a pup, he has been deathly afraid of snakes since.

Winter

-Summer is the opposite of winter. Of course he would hate the dry, cold weather.

Wolves

-On his farm as a pup, there was a large wolf pack that lived a few miles away. The constant howls would send shivers down his spine.

His birth family

-It's not a surprise he hates his birth family. They tormented and teased him to no end.

Collars

-He hates how restricting collars feel. That's why he prefers his bandana.

Stories:
NOTE: Below are a set of three different stories focusing on different parts of Max's life. It is clearly marked where each story is.

Story #1-"Lost"
-This story is about Max's escape from his birth family.

"Come along you useless lump!" I felt a paw slam into my side as I groggily opened my eyes. This was a normal part of my day.

My name's Max. I'm the runt of my litter. You would think my parents would at least care about me, right? Wrong. If anything, my parents hate me more than my five siblings. I sighed and stood up on shaky legs. I yawned and followed my alarm clock, my oldest brother, Tank. Tank tended to pick on me the most. He was very hefty, quite the opposite of myself. I heard him snicker as he tromped away. I sighed again and walked sullenly to where my "family" was waiting. Every Saturday, we would go to the nearest town and steal food for the week. I always felt bad stealing, but it was the only way.

Not for long though. I had been waiting for this particular day to arrive. It was July 4th. The day where humans were crawling all over town. I could easily slip away and find a home for myself. I doubt my family would even notice. I glanced up to see the rest of my family a hundred feet or so ahead of me. I yelped and dashed up beside them. I heard my sister grumble and she pushed me with her rump. I whimpered and slunk back a couple feet.

After walking for an hour and a half, the town was finally in view.

It was almost time.

I suddenly felt my stomach turn. I coughed nervously before taking a deep breath. I can do this, I thought to myself.

I could suddenly hear loud, booming noises combined with the cheering of people. It made me jump, even if I knew it was coming. I looked over at my family. Their noses were scrunched up in disgust. I honestly didn't mind the humans. They typically kept to themselves or would just smile and attempt to pat our heads. My parents would growl at the humans, but I would wag my tail and bark softly.

We made our way into the downtown area. We crossed streets, dodged cars, and avoided people. We finally made it to the butcher shop. It was time.

As my family slunk into the alley next to the butcher shop, I glanced one last time at them, rethinking what I was about to do. I HAD to do this. I wasn't going to let myself feel guilty. They were the ones who should feel guilty! I growled and dashed off.

I had done it. I had broken the imaginary chains that kept me with them. I wasn't just one of their punching bag pawns.

I was myself.

I was free.

Wes- I apologize for not writing the other stories. Writer's block has been killing me.

[ceratosaurus]

Username: perspicacious.
Kennel Number: #92
Use: The use for this character is simple! He is very adorable, and you don't come by mice characters often! This guy is unique with his traits, and his colouring is simple, but unique enough to be different from most. I'd like to use him in the story I'm making! I think it'd be unique to make a story based on the life story of a mouse! Perhaps use him in roleplays, and eventually let him have a little girlyfriend and some children. Order art of him, feature him in my character thread(currently a work in progress), just love him in general because he's so cute.
- About the character -
Name: Moe
Gender: Male
Species and/or specific breed: Mouse -- Fancy Mouse
Personality:
Moe is a little...eccentric. He isn't very sociable, and prefers to keep to himself than talk to others. He has a fear of strangers, wasps, and dogs, and seeing any makes him lock up. He loves to go on adventures, and for the most part, that is how he finds his shiny things that he collects in his sock pouch.
History/Background:

Moe was born in the walls of a worn down house. The town was nearly abandoned, except for tons of mice and rats that had filed in after the humans left. His mother gave birth to ten other children, and Moe was the runt. He was originally called Moe. In fact, the name his mother gave him was Socks, due to the fact that he slept in socks. Moe was neglected, and when he matured, he left his family forever, to go adventuring and find people who would like him.
