I am looking to adopt...
Kennel number: F6 Name: Derpy Breed: Dodo Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?: Alright, so I was browsing through all of these gorgeous designs, with no intention of adopting, because of my unfinished character page.
Then, I stumbled across this little guy. My brain did a flip, and I think it yelled something along the lines of "Dodododod!" but I'm not quite sure.
Anyways, I loooooove dodos. But I
'm too lazy to haven't though of making my own, yet. So, upon seeing this Dodo here, I thought, why not adopt instead of making my own? His design is adorable, very natural, and the bracelet is a cute touch.
I was hoping to perhaps use him as my fursona's pet, as odd as that might sound (for reals, a cat with a pet dodo? Absurd!). I mean honestly, who wouldn't want a pet dodo? Of course, he would get his own personality and character - he would be roleplayed alongside my fursona, but he would be used for comedic effect.
Honestly I couldn't see myself roleplaying him as his own character. It would be terribly hard to roleplay a dodo without a larger creature to protect it. Unless I happened to stumble across some kind of "Dodo Island" roleplay.
Which wouldn't be a bad idea, hm.
Personality: Derpy isn't the brightest of creatures. Or at least, thats what he wants you to think. He seems to know enough to follow simple instructions, and often finds himself in the face of danger due to his stupidity. He has the attention span of a mentally challenged squirrel, so he tends to get lost. He's gullible, and pretty much nonreactive to anything that passes him by.
But hidden beneath this mask of stupidity is a brilliant philosopher, a genius. He'll put on his monocle an bowtie and sit around with the other geniuses of his time, philosophizing about the things that even human brains couldn't grasp. All without Kitteh noticing at all. She just thinks that he's hiding or sleeping.
Likes: Peanuts, Insects, animals smaller than himself, clouds, things other cannot grasp
Dislikes: Storms, violence, predators, being hungry
History/Background: Born of the DNA of the very last Dodo in existence. Derpy started out in a test tube, growing into a strong young Dodo. Originally, he literally was as stupid as he now just plays to be. But, with lots of experimenting and chemicals, his brain grew rapidly. At first, the growth was obvious. But then, he just appeared to decline back to his original state. But that was all part of the plan.
They donated him to a local zoo, believing that he was just an average Dodo, and that they had failed at making him an intelligent being. But they were so very wrong. He escaped while on the ride there, causing a major car accident in the process involving ten cars and a buss. He ran to nearby suburb, and that's where he met Kitteh.
A large and hungry dog had found Derpy - although he was smart enough to make a good escape plan, his small legs couldn't carry him fast enough away. Kitteh happened to be returning from a stroll, and she valiantly fought the dog, managing to drive him off. Derpy saw an advantage in this - although Kitteh was small, she could obviously protect him in this small collection of houses, and he would be content staying there. So he followed her home, & she dubbed him Derpy because of his "obvious stupidity". She shared her kills with him, even found him some fruit sometimes. & They've been living this way ever since. He's manipulating her for food and protection, really, but she perceives this as affection (sounds a lot like me and my cat xP).
Art: I wish I could, but no tablet pen ;o; I'll get my pen back in November, if you'd be willing to wait that long.
Other: I know that the form says "May not be fursona, fursona's mate, etc", but would it be okay if he was my fursona's 'pet' of the sorts? Or perhaps we could refer to my fursona as his guardian? I donno, either way x)
