I'll be trying out for Hawke!! <3
Username: Roobuzz
Name: Ace Osric (Pronounced OZ-rick)
Gender: Male
Personality: Ace was an easily embarassed little guy when he was younger. He tried his best to fit in, and although he was never necessarily a shy kit, he felt as though he had to stick to the whole "boy" gig to fit in. He'd try sports, but he could never catch the ball. He'd try video games, but he never found them interesting. Eventually, he allowed his true colors to shine and began to express his real interest- musicals and acting. He decided that what others thought of him didn't matter as much as following his true passion did. It took a long time for him to come to this conclusion, however, but he was only able to get through it with the help of
Oliver, a friendly musical director who we'll talk about later. Ace's personality, because of him, has been able to shine through his outer layer more and more as he gets older. Currently, Ace is still embarassed about his interest in musicals, as others consider it "girly". He doesn't let them stop him from loving acting, however.
Favorite Gemstone and why: Ace clapped his paws, grinning at the stage as the lead kalon bowed, smiling. Ace noticed the kalon breathing heavily- of course he was! That last note was mega-long!
Ace had been brought to this theater by his mother, who completely supported his love for musicals. It'd taken her forever, but she finally had managed to get a ticket for the best theater in the state. The actors and actresses there were said to be absolutely stunning, and there have even been famous actors and actresses there. She could only get one ticket, but she had trusted Ace alone in the theater.
Glancing around, Ace grinned. The main character was male. That'd show
anyone that boys doing musicals was totally completely awesome.
The curtains closed and the audience began filing out to meet the actors and actresses.
Ace made his way through the theater, looking around at the walls and architecture.
I can't believe I'm in a professional theater.Once he got to the line of actors and actresses, Ace struggled to see over the crowd. He looked back and forth, searching for a way to see them.
"Need some help?"
Ace looked up to see a kalon- the
director- standing over him, smiling a friendly smile.
Horrified butterflies swarmed Ace's belly and suddenly he felt as though Shakespere himself was smiling down on him. He was speechless.
The kalon- Oliver- glanced around. "I don't think there's much of a way that you can get through the crowd, so we'll have to wait it out a little. Are your parents here?"
Ace shook his head, speechless.
"Do you know when they'll be coming?"
"My mom..." Ace's tongue was caught in his throat. "Is coming at nine."
Oliver glanced down at his watch. "It's only seven. Does she know that?"
Ace was bumped by a kalon in the crowd. Regaining his balence, he nodded. "She works until eight-thirty."
Oliver shot the kalon who jostled Ace a glare. "How about we get out of this crowd? I can stay with you until your mother comes, if you want."
Ace's heart was racing. "Alright, th-thanks," he stammered.
The two kalons made their way out of the crowd and Oliver gestured for Ace to follow.
I'm not supposed to talk to strangers, he realized. He thought about it.
This is a special occasion.Following Oliver into the theater room, he gazed up at the red curtains. Oliver hopped onto the stage.
"Wait here," he directed before disappearing behind the red curtain.
Ace watched in awe as the curtains slowly opened. Oliver stood downstage and gestured to Ace to come onto the stage.
"I really like your play," Ace finally managed to tell him.
Oliver laughed. "Thanks," he replied. "I really appreciate that. Hey, what's your name, anyway?"
"Ace."
"Ace." Oliver smiled at the kit. "Good name. You know, not many kits come and see professional musicals. You're the only one for this one. You must really like them, then?"
Ace nodded, his eyes wide with excitement. "I love musicals! They're my favorite thing in the whole wide world."
"Really?" Oliver's eyes sparkled. "I loved them when I was a kit, too. Have you ever considered acting in them?"
Ace froze. "Well-" He searched for the right words. "I'm not really... I don't think my friends would like it very much."
Oliver sat down on the edge of the stage and Ace sat beside him. "Why not?" Oliver's eyes were concerned.
"I said that I was coming here. They called me a girl."
"They called you a girl?" Oliver shook his head. "I still don't understand how that's supposed to be an insult." He opened his eyes again, his intense gaze piercing into Ace's. "Don't
ever let anyone keep you from doing what you want to do. If that's how they're going to act, then they're not mature enough to be your friends."
Ace's heart began to float. "Thank you so much- uh-"
"Oliver," the director finished with a smile.
"Oliver. You know, maybe I will be an actor." Ace stood up, puffing his chest fur with determination. "I
will be an actor!"
Oliver grinned. "There we go! And you'll make a
great actor."
Oliver showed Ace around the stage and explained to him how certain things worked. Ace was amazed by everything and soaked in all the information.
Oliver, after a while, checked his watch. "It's nearly nine," he told Ace. "I'm sad to say that you should probably go and find your mom. She could be waiting for you."
Ace felt disappointment flood through him. "Thank you so much, Oliver."
"Of course, Ace." Oliver reached into his pocket and pulled out a pin. It shone in the light and Ace recognized it to be the gem pin that the main character wore to symbolize his freedom. The bright blue plastic pin held Ace's stunned gaze.
"I'll see you here another time," Oliver told the kit, handing him the gem pin, "when you're the best actor in the world." And with that, he disappeared behind the curtain.
Ace never gave up his plastic gem pin. The moment he got home, he put it on his shelf and looked at it every day.
His favorite gem- made of plastic- reminded him every single day of Oliver's words.
"Don't
ever let anyone keep you from doing what you want to do."
