You may recognize me from around CS, but some of you may know me from my first ever try out here. Over a year ago, I tried for a character by the name of Swampy. I, over-joyously, won him. I still doodle him traditionally, and you've only heard from me once sense. I still skim over the adopts occasionally, mulling over and see which characters bring ideas to my mind. Boredom and in need of something to do most of the time. I've watched these two for a while, seeing if they'd get adopted before I talked myself into trying for them. Well, for months nothing has happened and they're both still here. I'm hoping to be able to give them a chance at something more than sitting in these kennels.
If you know me, which you may, I draw. Avidly. They will be drawn a lot, hopefully even pull me out of this internal darkness I have made for myself. I will put them in roleplays, too! I love roleplaying, so it only makes sense that I would roleplay then, correct? Of course! They will be dearly loved and thought of, if anything else.
That, I can promise.

Names • Atlas(11) and Prof. Dr. Augustus Killian Devreaux II(84)
Genders • Male and Male
Species • Crow and Anthropomorphic Lynx
Personality •
Prof. Dr. Augustus Killian Devreaux IIA.K., although very bright and with many grand ideas, lacks patients. He is very much so the opposite. He is usually very brash and wants things done quickly so he can hurry to the next task. Though he is friendly and very outgoing and willing to share his ideas, his haste and quick temper tends to force those qualities to be over looked. A.K. can be one to hold a terrible grudge and hold it for years. If this occurs it will be obvious, as he will give things such as short, snippy comments or explanations and a very chilled shoulder. It is best not to give him a reason to hold a grudge against you, though he can somehow always find a reason. But usually this doesn't occur, as he is very friendly and loves to be in the company of others.
AtlasAtlas is best described as the calm in the chaos. He is level headed and his feathers are not so easily ruffled. Though he is often viewed as A.K.'s pet, he is, not. He is A.K.'s best friend and constant companion. Never are the two separated. Atlas finds he is most needed by the hasty and hotheaded Dr. more than he is a pest of a raven merely about in the flocks. Atlas is the kind of bird who needs a sense of duty, that he has a reason and meaning to life more than just being there. He also is a collector of knowledge and sense. He enjoys the tales and history of old and is constantly looking to expand his knowledge. The bird also uses this to help his hotheaded friend.
History/Background •
A.K was born into a lower class home. His parents worked two jobs each and still that was only enough to get them to the next paycheck. Though they were very poor, they held much love for each other. A.K. had much freedom, for where he and his family stood among the social and money rankings. As he grew, he began to realize where his family stood and wanted to change that. From a young age he'd always loved to tinker and take things apart or put old things back together. At the age of ten he decided he wanted to focus this knack into something his family could prosper from. The town he lived in had a large clock tower in the town square; the clock had been broken long before A.K. was born. One night, unable to sleep and feeling restless, thirteen-year-old A.K. decided he'd try to fix it. Many had tried before him; all failed. The next morning the whole of the town woke to the striking of the bell and a determined A.K. still working. He wiped sweat from his forehead as the mayor entered the clock.
"
Son! What are you doing in that clock?" he called up to the busy teen.
With a look of surprise A.K. rolled over and looked down at him. "
Fixing the clock! What does it look like?" he called back to the slim man below.
The conversation continued for a while before A.K. was able to go back to fixing the clock, upon agreement to speak with the mayor once he was finished. That's exactly what he did.
Covered in grease and oil and rust, A.K. walked into the mayor's office. "
Alright, sir, what's this about?" he asked.
"
You fixed that tower in one night, where we've had others work on it for weeks and get no where..." the mayor began.
"
Yeah? So what of it?" A.K. replied, though his interruption went ignored.
"
That clock's been broken for over sixteen years and once again it's ring can be heard again. I thank you, but that doesn't seem like enough." the man continued, "
We've got a lot of broken things around here and are in need of new inventions. Now, I've seen your in innovation and we've all seen what you can fix. I'd like to offer you a job in our invention house; chief inventor. What do you say?" The mayor looked at A.K. now with a calm smile.
All A.K. wa able to do was stare and stutter incoherently. "
S-sir... Y-yes! Yes! I would love that!" he finally got out, eyes lighting up.
Work was hard at the I.H., and things only got harder when a baby crow fall from it's nest while A.K. was fixing something in a more rural home. The bird's feathers were different, lighter. With this new arrival his job became more strenuous, as he had to hand-rear the bird. After many long, sleepless and stressful weeks and months, the little bird was finally big enough to eat on it's own. Being it had been raised by a non-bird being, it knew not how to fly. Instead it could often be found perched on A.K.'s shoulder.
It was found that the two were good for each other. Atlas, as A.K. decided to name the crow, kept the combustible A.K. at a much more calm and manageable temperament; A.K. kept the flightless crow warm, fed and safe from danger. Now it is impossible to see one without the other; if they are separate, you can be sure something is seriously wrong.
