The Name:

Name:
Vimmy
Pronunciation
Vim-Me
Meaning:
None
Language/Culture:
English
Reason Chosen:
When I saw his picture the name came into my head and stuck there and would not leave.



Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:

Vimmy. Why do I want him? I must chuckle a little at this question you are asking of me, for you see, I want Vimmy for a comedic story. I planned it about a herding breed dog living in an Amish community accidentally going to the city and getting lost. I formed it in my head around the song "Amish Paradise" By Weird Al. I needed a good character and was going make some kind of big mutt for the story, but when I saw Vimmy it screamed "He's an aussie. He will fit perfect." So you see I felt like I had to try for him.

If I was to get him I would finish writing his story, as I can only give a sampling of it right now and do some art of him, maybe RP with him a little bit and play around with his character concept. Probably order some art of him, the usually snazzy jazzy stuff.

Purpose:
Bred on a farm in an Amish community Vimmy was used for herding and guarding. From a young age Vimmy took to all challenges and did well in his training, his only aim was to please his master, Rick. Once he ended up in the city he was sent to animal control where a regular volunteer, and young girl saw the potential in the young gangly dog and contacted her uncle, John, who did search and rescue. His previous partner dog, also a blue merle tricolour aussie, had been killed in a rock slide two years prior and the man refused to get a new partner. However, he couldn't refuse Vimmy and soon adopted.
Personality:
Vimmy is a young soul. He is very playful, but can buckle down quickly and is devoted to his work which he loves. He is quick mentally and physically. He is very helpful and loves helping and saving people more than anything else in the world, probably explaining his dedication to his work. Vimmy is a very sociable and friendly dog who likes meeting new people and dogs. He is not the kind of dog to be shy and will take the first step to forge a friendship. Vimmy has some trust issues with women as it was a woman who tricked him into the feral dog trap. He will approach a man before a woman, and unusual trait in dogs with trust issues. He often thinks of his farm and this can cause the usually happy-go-lucky Vimmy to become depressed.
Theme Song:
Amish Paradise- By Weird Al Yankovic



History/Background:

~ Prolouge ~

Late on a damp, dark night out it the country where a large group of Amish people reside there was the stirrings of life. It the barn, amongst all the sleeping sheep, a beautiful blue merle Australian shepherd curled around her new litter of five puppies. The father leapt over the sleeping sheep and over to her side. His red tricolour pelt glowed in the dim moonlight. He nuzzled her and she stifled a yawn and drifted to sleep. He smiled and padded to the barn entrance, no one would get into the barn, not tonight.

~ Chapter 1 ~

Four gangly puppies dashed around the barn, darting and weaving through the sheep. They nipped their heels and barked just as they had seen their parents do. The sheep bleated frantically, trying to escape from the rampaging puppies. "Enough!" A voice boomed through the barn causing the pups to freeze. "You know you are not to chase the sheep after what happened to Lucy." The voice growled. The voice belonged to Maximus, the pups' father. The puppies started trembling at the memories of their sister being trampled to death by the sheep during the raid. Men had came with other large, scary dogs with prick ears. The started herding the sheep and trying to steal them. They had tried to steal the puppies too, but their parents fended them off. The got away with a only a few sheep, but in the panic the pup's sister Lucy had been trampled to death. The father sighed, seeing what he had done. He hopped off the hay bale and rounded the pups up. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring that up." He licked each one and sighed yet again. "Come on, time for your final lesson."

~ Chapter 2 ~

[Queen Vivane]

I am looking to spoil and smother with love...

Picture:

Kennel number: P108
Name: Solar Eclipse
Breed: Guardian Horse
Breed Info: A Guardian Horse is well the horse version of a guardian angel. A horse can only become a Guardian if they have a pure heart and have commited a great act of bravery in their lifetime, if they have the exact opposite of the requirements they become one of the fallen and they are slowly twisted into terrible beings of only the bad things we humans know. Anger, lust, hate, envy, greed all of them weaving their way into the horse and turning it slowly from the beautiful majestic creature that was once known. They can either be the guardian of a human or an animal even something thats a mix of both though usually its horses.

For a horse to get the Guardian title they must complete a mission down on Alistraza, when they complete the mission they are assigned special marks on their bodys and are granted Guardian status

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?: This horse is amazing and I have loved him ever since he was donated, I really enjoy looking at the wonderful design. There is just something about this horse that pulls me in and I like that feeling its how I know that I really woukld like to own this beauty. I really quite like this horse and wish to give him a home. If decalred the winner of Solar Eclipse I would draw him, pay for some of cs's lovely artists to make me some art of him, write about him, make him a page on my character site and sit and stare at him in wonder.

Personality: Eclipse is very calm and isnt easily distracted from whatever requires his attention. When his mind is in the right place, he shows his great concentration skills. Solar can be very nasty when hes in a foul mood but he always makes it up to any friend he hurts with a brillant smile and will do whatever it takes for them to forgive him. He is annoyed easily and feels that anyone who whinges at him simply for expressing his feelings is a waste of time and would much rather they go away and shove their namby pamby whinges down someone elses throat.

He isnt really the loud sort more of a wait until the time is right to speak and or act. Sometimes he would rather others left him alone rather then stick around to pester him as it just winds him tighter and tigher until he feels like a snake coilwd ready to strike and when he snaps its a horrific and some say enchanting sight

Likes: Lying under the stars, sunny days because they remind him of happier times, butterflies, watching the clouds float by

Dislikes: Really cold weather because it reminds him of what caused his death,

Favourite Quote: "Back off and shove your goody goody feelings down someone else throat before I kick you" Himself said fairly often

History/Background:
"Solar Eclipse please come forward" the voice called, taking a deep breath I stepped up onto the platform, "my beloved Solar you have been chosen to earn your guardian status" Espirito De Lua said gently pushing me toward the swirling portal. I gulped closed my eyes and leapt into the swirling portal, I was flung out of the portals exit and only just managed to avoid smashing into a tree, I got myself up off of the floor and trotted off to see if I could find the one I had been assigned to. A young woman sat under one of the nearby trees and she watched the falling blossom petals with interest, there was a small chime and I knew that she was the one I assigned to. I trotted over to her side and settled myself next to her, I already knew she couldn't see me I wasnt allowed to show myself unless the circumstances were dire and her life was in danger.

I lay at her side just watching as she got out a book and flicking it open began to draw I watched a wolf gradually take shape until it looked so real I tought it would jump off of the page to land in front of us. It wasnt until she lifted her head and looked to the west with a dark expression that I knew something was wrong, she folded up her sketch book and slid it back into a bag that sat by her other side. Rising to her feet with an air of determination the young woman concentrated hard as I began to see dark energy beginning to swirl round her body slowly the energy began to wrap round her limbs. When the darkness released her limbs they were covered with dark fur and her hands and feet had been replaced by clawed paws, she hunched over as the energy began to work its way round the rest of her body.

Finally it was complete as her arms flung their crossed position over her face and she uttered a loud howl which made my ears ring it was so loud. My prey instinct was trying to have me flee but I resisted with all my might, she slung bag across her body and settled herself onto all four paws before bounding off at quite a pace. I easily caught up with her even at a mere second stage canter, she was in a hurry that much I knew "but why?" I asked myself with a frown as she kicked it up a gear. I spurred myself up into the third stage of canter following close behind my charge as she ran, my heart sank as my eyes took in the sight of skeletons littering the ground. They were equine in nature. That much I knew. What species of equine was what I couldn't tell you.

"How sad such a great battle raged here yet the only ones to die were the noble steeds" my charge said softly as a solitary tear fell from her face. We kept running and I began to see flashes of colour through the trees, she skidded to a halt and growled softly as a horrible choking feeling gathered on the air. An undead like creature stpped out of the trees a sick smirk on her deathly pale face, "Heart Shade it seems we meet again" she purred at my charge who was now upright and holding two long slender swords which dripped with poison. "Avithara" Heart Shade snarled her upper lip lifitng to show off deadly razor sharp fangs; a large demon stepped in front of the undead who smirked as the demon cracked the whip it carried in one hand.

I pawed the ground in anger. It was a dispicable thought demons could be summoned from the planes of Astra where they had been locked away by the legendary alicorn Avandridash. In return the demon pegasus Avina turned Avandridash into a human, it was being human that drove Avandridash mad and eventually she took her own life. The story of Avandridash was one that I had been told by the keeper of guardians in training a white and black pegasus named GlimmerHeart, she was kind but strict we worked hard so once we made full guardian she would be proud of us. My eyes narrowed at the demon which looked as she was itching to attack Heartshade, "get her" Avithara said with a smirk as her hands crackled with magic, I reared screaming in rage.

Heartshade glowered at the undead and sprang away from the dark bolt which smashed into the ground where she had just been standing, she sheathed her swords and ran. I galloped hard after her my hooves thudding against the ground my eyes stinging as the wind whipped mercilessly at them.

I am looking to adopt... and befriend...
Picture:
Kennel number: P100
Name: The Devil's Train
Breed: Thoroughbred
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?: I love the plain classic design that comes with a personality that is so western and brusque that it is real.
Personality: Quick to temper, but very loyal, The Devil's Train will always stick by your side. He loves a challenge and he plays many sports and love to gallop around the countryside, bringing back news of new species and fruits. He loves piano music, especially classic, which calms down his temper. In a hard situation, he is very flighty, but he will make sure that you are on his back before he makes a 30 miles an hour gallop away (but he will still dump you off his back when you are out of danger). Self-preservation taking precedence over your feelings and sometimes well-being, you must be very fast-paced to keep up with him.
Likes: Wild gallops around the countryside always relax The Devil's Train, feeling the wind stream through his hair, whipping in the wind, he also likes to ride... right into storms. Once he rode right into a tornado's eye, leaving the experience without a hair on his head harmed.
Dislikes:
-Trying to be tamed is the one thing he will not tolerate. If someone attempts this... they never see him again... or anyone really... But he makes sure to leave them a parting gift (his shoe on their forehead).
-Anyone trying to undermine his ultimate authority will face a much harsher sentence. His evil and reluctant assistance (you) will tie the man to the opposing stall door, where The Devil's Train can use them as a punching bag until he is satisfied that justice is done.
History/Background: Once a long-time champion racehorse, The Devil's Train was kicked out after a temper incident resulting in an injured jockey. As a result, he was never allowed into the official races again. Before that though, he went all around the globe, from country to country, participating in international races.

Picture:
Kennel number: P107
Name: Sable
Breed: Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
Personality: She is a fun-loving, happy dog, always wanting to play and spend time with others. As well as being a social butterfly, Sable loves knowledge and collects a giant library in her specialized mansion-size dog house.
Likes: Sable likes to spend time in new places and is often found exploring around her neighborhood and beyond. She likes big cities, midnight lights, and hip/pop music.
Dislikes: As much as she likes knowledge, Sable dislikes know-it-alls. She believes that they ruin the name of all those who work to achieve goals and to learn of their own will and interest.
History/Background: Sable currently works as an international fashion designer for the hottest dog styles and fashions. Every new season, she looks at her favorite new fabrics and designs new outfits to be shown and worn all around the dog population. Her name is the equivalent of Prague in her industry. The top of her industry, she owns a pent-house in New York for her business operations, but prefers the calming atmosphere of her home.
Always seen at the latest fashion parties, she would not pass up a chance to show off her expertise, humbly and when needed, of course.

Picture:
Kennel number:
P111
Name:
Bean - That name is adorable. 8D
Breed:
American Quarter horse

The American Quarter Horse is an American breed of horse that excels at sprinting short distances. Its name came from its ability to outdistance other breeds of horses in races of a quarter mile or less; some individuals have been clocked at speeds up to 55 mph (88.5 km/h). The American Quarter Horse is the most popular breed in the United States today, and the American Quarter Horse Association is the largest breed registry in the world, with more than 4 million American Quarter Horses registered.
The American Quarter Horse is well known both as a race horse and for its performance in rodeos, horse shows and as a working ranch horse. The compact body of the American Quarter Horse is well-suited to the intricate and speedy maneuvers required in reining, cutting, working cow horse, barrel racing, calf roping, and other western riding events, especially those involving live cattle. The American Quarter Horse is also shown in English disciplines, driving, and many other equestrian activities.

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
What wouldn't I do for a horse named Bean? As soon as I saw him, I was immediately drawn to his natural, but not too common looks. He looks quite a lot like my own horse, Smokey, when he was younger, but of course this isn't the only reason I love him. It isn't everyday that you come across such a handsome creature that isn't 'sparkly' or 'complicated'. The splash of white gives him that edge that pulled my eyes to him and caught my attention - and my heart (oh, how soppy is that?). He also - to me - is most definitely male. I couldn't see as anything other than an extremely good-looking gelding. And there is a never ending list of possibilities for him! You could write a story about him anywhere, and he would fit right in. I can see images of him galloping across an open field, or show-jumping in a ring. Bean would also be my first horse - unless I win another one I'm applying for somewhere else |D - so he would be a welcome addition to the family. I can assure you that he could get oodles of attention if he came home with me. <3

Picture:
Kennel number:

Name:
Ninja

Speices & Breed:
Horse - Russian Trotter

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
Why?
Ninja stands out to me. His design is natrual, but also so un-natrual. I like the look of his design, it stands out in a crowd. He is unique and special, easily recreated for art but still simply unable to copy. The double color mane can put me in a trance, I have never had a horse character with a double color mane.

Breed: Australian Shepherd x German Shepherd { Mutt }
Species: Dog ;; Canine

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
I've been passing her for others for quite a while, but she kept sticking with me. Finally I had an inspriation to adopt her, and for her story. I love her, she is beautiful and I connect to her so much. I plan on RPing her if I can find one that fits her and drawing her alot. Also ordering art and of course writing about her and loving her<3

History/Background:

Bailey yawned, water dripped on her head from the docks above. She could here the waves crashing as the tide pulled back, the stench of low tide drifted in and boats honked their horns. Sailboats drifted gently across the ocean as the wind rolled across the waves. Bailey smiled and stretched. Life on the streets was nice if you had a nice place, and food. Slowly she walked to the town, as cars whizzed by she stifled a yawn. It was a beautiful day, the wind was great and it was sunny. Smiling to herself, she quickly ran across the street to the dumpsters. Diving in them, she dug for food easily finding lots. Eating as much as she good, she saved the rest and brought it home.

Quickly she saved it by digging a small hole and wrapping it in cloth.

Kennel number:

P98



Name:

Moses



Theme Song:

There are two songs that represent him, so ill post them both.
The Show Goes On - Lupe Fiasco {x}
Crazy - Cee Lo Green {x}



Species:

Horse



Breed:

Prezewalski/Shire



Gender:

Stallion, not gelded.



Age:

No one really knows Moses' for sure age, but most of his friends and him are guessing around 4 - 6.



Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:

Moses is just a work of art, his design is amazing and his personality just seems to come a live when I see him. He is very beautiful, and I love the colors on him, I always like brown and blue, and my favorite animal is a horse? So how perfect is that? His design also blend good together, so the design doesn't look to crazy and it doesn't say "my design is poop. I look like poop." It shouts "I am awesome! I look amazing!"

I haven't really been collecting pets, and I have been spending my good ones, like 09-08 uncommons and rares on art for nice artists, so he'd probabaly get a lot of pieces.

Maybe, id even make a fursuit of him so everyone that sees me can see his beautiful design walking around.



Personality:

Moses is a dominant horse, he thinks he has control of everyone, although he can be very sweet. He does things for others, but most of the time he is very aggrivating to some of the older horses that are getting bossed around by him. He also thinks he's "The Show" hes the big chief, the commander, the admiral, whatever you would like to call it. He is also a very loving horse though. When he decides he loves you, he will stick by your side, never to doubt you again.



Likes:

Quietness
Moses likes the quietness of his stall, because quiet makes him more cozy and he likes to think of it as how ife should be. Quiet.

Blue
The color blue fascinates Moses, the sky, water, and even him is blue, he likes it because it is a cool color, and it isn't too bright.

Music
Music calms Moses down after a hard day, or maybe after a big long argument with someone. It makes him feel better, and not guilty if he was.

Friends
Even with his bossy nature, Moses still loves friends, and the company of having them around. Why? Because whenever you have friends around, you always feel comforted, and so does Moses.



Dislikes:

Death
Just like pretty much every other living thing, Moses abouslutely hates death, it makes him wanna scream and cry. Whenever someone he knows dies, he pretty much is mourning for months.

Spurs
Whenever people ride him, they use spurs and it really ticks Moses off, as they really hurt! I dont know why they were invented they hurt so bad!

Small Animals
They always go in front of him when he is in motion, and then besides worrying about what the rider wants him to do, he has to worry about not hitting them while going bye.



History/Background:

Moses was born on a dark, starry evening. As his mother grazed happily in her pasture, she felt agonizing cramps and deathly pains in her stomache and rump areas, and she fell to the ground and whinnied a blood curdling whinny, and she felt two kicks, and those kicks were caused by two foals. Moses and Israfel.

Soon, there were two, beautiful and healthy foals by her side. Two males, both handsome as ever.

The two foals both had totally different personallities. Moses, had a arrogant and dominant personality, and israfel on the other hand, a shy and sweet one. Which one do you think got more friends? Israfel or Moses? Defiently Israfel.

Now, because Moses didn't have many friends, actually, not even one, he really was bored all the time. Sometimes he cried when he sees Israfel with his friends.

His mom knew that he wouldn't get many friends, but she never stopped loving him. This made Moses feel better, but Moses still feels sad that he didn't have any friends.

♥ ♥ ♥

Moses and Israfel are both older now, and being around eachother so much has kinda clashed there personallities together a little bit, since Moses can be A sweetheart and shy, he now has a couple of friends. And Israfel, I think you get the point.

Moses one day, was sleeping by a weeping willow tree, and a butterfly landed on his snout. His friend, rowan the butterfly. he giggled and said, "Why, hello Rowan." Rowan just fluttered his wings and flew off.

Moses said, "Off so soon?" And shook his head.

Moses liked the weeping willow tree, and he was so happy that it was in his pasture. He slept there everyday.

Soon, Moses fell a sleep again. But, only for a short amount of time, because later on, a young girl came out and took him in the barn.

Suddenly, Moses was in Cross ties, and was getting brushed down and tacked up.

The girl led Moses into a corral, and she trotted him around in circles, backing him up, cantering, jumping, whatever she felt like doing with him, soon, Moses got tired and just stopped. The little girl yelled and shouted and SCREAMED. She kissed and clicked to him to get him too move, but he didn't go. Soon, she got so angry with him she dug her spurs into his side and screamed, "HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT? YOU DAMN HORSE! MOVE! NOW!"

He knew that his owner would not like him to lay down in full tack, so he stood up, until the next morning, when someone spotted him.

"Oh, MOSES! Why are you out here!" And untacked him, when she saw the piece of paper fly out from under the girth and jumped for it. It read

Hi,
Its me, Amanda, the reason I left stupid Moses here all night is because the stupid horse is plan disobedient, he would not move, and he kept on getting me wet through the saddle. I do not know what is wrong with him, so figure it out. Oh, and just to let you know, I will not be riding here anymore. GOODBYE.
Signed, Amanda Clementine.

My owner shook her head and crumbled up the peice of paper in her hand and through it out the door, "Come on Moses, lets get you cleaned up."

♥ ♥ ♥

Now, you know that some people do not like me that much, exept my loving owner. She likes me, and I like her. Thats all I need to be alive and feeling GREAT.

I was later on used as a show horse, winning many ribbions. I became very close to my owner, also being her favorite horse. I was loved dearly, and that felt very good.
