Claim for next month, please?
Going to name Rudigar.
He'll be a part of a separate universe than my usual Fable world. He was the result of a lab experiment gone wrong (or right? depending on who you ask). Was a combination of a fable + the scientist's best friend (a doberman). He was created to be the perfect protector for the scientist's daughter, and lives up to that expectation. Except the scientist didn't account for Fables being darn near immortal, and he's outlived her by a few hundred, almost a thousand years now. He hangs out in the ruins of the lab and home he was created in, wants to have another person to protect.

Please add me, I've got my lore ready to go! (:

Things weren’t always like this. It had been decades – no, centuries – since someone had last called his name. At this point he didn’t even mind if it would be in a harsh tone rather than one with fondness. He just missed having a name, a place to belong, a job to do, some sense of purpose. He stared into the mirror across from his human’s bed quietly. When he was younger, he hadn’t been able to make much sense of this portal on the wall. At first it had frightened him – being able to see his human and this big, hulking monster. Half dog, half fable: it had gnashing teeth that bared at him as he bared his own. He’d carefully take a protective step in front of his human, but the beast would do just the same. He’d broken the mirror a few times in his younger years, trying to keep his human safe.

It was only now, now that he was alone, did he realise that hulking beast was himself. He often sat here and stared at his own image, trying to figure out how it had all gone so wrong. Why his humans would ever leave him behind, even if they had gotten quite old. Things were so much simpler in the before times: back when he wasn’t in this mutated body. Back when he was a smaller beast, all teeth and fur and paws. Since he’d gotten his hooves, things had just been… different. He wasn’t sure how else to put it. Sometimes when he stared in the mirror, he could almost remember what he’d been like before this. It was a hazy dream, but he could remember being smaller with a shorter tail and soft paws.

He stared himself down some more. He’d lost all of the ferocity he had in his youth; now he looked softer around the edges; perhaps a bit sweeter, but overwhelmingly exhausted above all else. His coat stayed the same colour it had been in his earlier days, which he found peculiar as he watched other creatures turn gray and white. Maybe he was still young, he thought. Maybe he still had many agonizing years to live alone, adrift, amiss. He told himself that his humans would return one day, that he just had to wait patiently. He couldn’t imagine why they would leave him behind in the first place. He’d done nothing wrong, right? Rudigar had been loyal, had been kind, had protected and looked after his human to the point of endangering his own life.

He perked up as he saw something else come into view of the mirror. Behind himself, a creature emerged from the fog that seemed to enshroud the property he patrolled. Just as tall as himself, tan and brown, floppy ears. Another fellow experiment, one he hadn’t seen for at least five hundred years. His tail wagged in reflex, he turned his head over his shoulder to greet her.

Except there was nothing there. There never had been.

Rudigar’s tail ceased to move, and he sadly looked back into the mirror.
