Kalons-- a species with soft manes and even softer hearts.

Monitored in forests across the globe for years, these animals
have recently been declared naturally tame as well as sentient.
Scientists are asking the general population to consider adopting
Kalons for further study in their capabilities of intelligence.

Happy Pride Month!
I saw this flag the other day, and I thought it looked really neat!
I personally identify as just "queer", because I don't wish to define myself further~ So I'm glad I get to share this design with you all!

Standard: hair, shine // Common: fur, tail
Uncommon: ears, pupils, tongue

kalon name: colvyr [they/them]
why they picked their name:
colvyr ;; an old english name meaning simply, 'dove'

doves are the symbol of peace, forgiveness and reconciliation. doves are also messengers of love and hope.
colvyr was struggling in an earlier point in their life. they were confused about their identity. unsure about
who they were. it took the love, trust, and faith in their loved ones to be able to come to terms, and to be
able to accept themselves. they came out as non-binary and queer to their close friends and family, and they
all showered them with love and support. they were over the moon to know that they would still love them no
matter what.
in honor of the love they have for themself and their loved ones, they decided on the name colvyr. a callback to
the dove, the animal that has represented peace and love for millennia.

kalon name: Capo
why they picked their name:
Capo means boss, and Capo chose their name because they were tired of not being in charge of their life. They decided that with the change in their identity and their lifestyle, they needed something fitting for their name, and having everyone call them boss helped fuel a new level of confidence.

kalon name: mortis
why they picked their name:
Mortis has various meanings tied to death, in latin, and when he started looking into names that really fit him, it just stuck. Mortis is a 77title of part of an indie game he's always been fond of, it's part of his work, and Mors or Morty works as a great nickname. People ight also assume his name is just Mortimer? Which is also good with him. Still, the name he chose is just a little different, unique and just for him. Death is an important part of life, and especially for Mors. He went to college for funerary service work, and he loves his job. It's morbid at times, but he finds a kind of peace in himself making it easier for grieving families and friends. When he first started coming out, his boss was also his biggest supporter: he thought it was kind of humorous, in a dry / dark kind of way. A person named after death, caring for the dead... And the way it's used in latin, it implies Mors is owned by death. It's considered feminine, but Mors doesn't really care. Death doesn't have a gender and neither does he. Maybe it's not the most traditional name-- but he loves it anyway, and it means a lot to him.

kalon name: Gwen
why they picked their name:
Gwen : old Welsh name meaning 'fair' or 'white'

Being fair in the face with her bright colours that match out, mixing in like an oil spill on her.
'Gwen' rolls off the tounge, making her ears perk up at anymoment to hear it again.

kalon name: Jestem Inny
why they picked their name: "Jestem Inny" means "I am different" in Polish. Jes (for short), chose this name to both honor their Polish heritage and to also show that they are proud to be unique and different from others. Every day, they deal with hate and ridicule being spewed from them from both outside and inside the community. "Queer isn't an identity!" a lot of people say. But Jestem doesn't listen. They are queer, they are here, and they are proud! Their name is a reminder to them every day that there is nothing wrong with being who they are, and that they are fantastic as they are. They celebrate being different! Everyone else can get used to it. Their name choice says, "I am different. And I am me. And that's beautiful, isn't it?" And being tied to their Polish heritage means a lot to them. They are close with their ojciec and matka, and have a family history of growing up in Katowice. Their parents let Jes address them formally, but have changed their names from traditional polish ones, to more American sounding ones (since moving to the United States). Due to this, Jes was born with a very Americanized name that they felt didn't represent them properly. This name they chose represents them perfectly now, and when one day they plan on moving back to Poland to study their family tree more, they will be known around their parts as "I am different". And they think that is great.
