Pound of Hope [CLOSED PERMANENTLY]

[jacketgirl]

Hello. I am thinking of donating when donations open, but first, would anybody like to adopt Snowfire and Cody? I want them to be adopted together, and get good homes. I also want to know if anybody would like Snowfire's brother IceFlame or Feldspar the dragon. If anybody wants them, I might even adopt out Snowfire and Cody's Pups.

I have alternate refs of IceFlame, Snowfire, and two pups.

I love them, especially IceFlame. :D

Kennel number:
P12

Name:
Wilflineom, "Neon" for short.

Breed:
Canine

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
RP character and art subject. I also want to try out my design skills at breeding them <3

Personality:
Funny
This guy is a typical prankster. He loves to play and joke around and have fun; he's a very goofy character on his good days.

Loyal
You stand by him, he stands by you. End of story. He'll never turn his back on you unless you deserve it, and even then all he usually does is turn around and walk away.

Calm & Patient
It takes A LOT to make him lose his temper. He's extremely patient and can put up with quite a lot.

Tough
Whether physical or mental wear and tear, he can take it, no sweat. He's strong, fast, and fit, both in body and mind. Chasing things really makes you rock-solid tough, apparently.

+Punk and goth.
+Chasing things.
+Running.
+Exploring.

Kennel number:
P12

Name:
Harviele, "Harvey" for short.

Breed:
Canine

Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
Same as Neon.

Personality:
Serious
She's not one to play. She does not put up with a lot and is very quick to lose her temper.

Aggressive
She is not one to mess with. She will jump up and bite you just as fast as you can blink, but it's still rare for her. She will snap though, and her teeth will come very close to biting you, but she's only telling you to back off. Just don't risk upsetting her further. It might not end pretty.

Quiet
She likes to keep to herself. The only person, er, canine she really opens up to is her mate. She is very cautious and very untrusting of others, even if she's known you for a long time.

True
She is who she is, and no one will change her unless she wants to change. She sticks true to who she is, and not who others want her to be.

Red and black arm warmers, as well as a red spike bracelet on her left forepaw? o3o

History/Background:
Wilflineom watched the shelter door that divided the cats and dogs shut behind the retreating form of his owner. He gave a small whine before turning to look at Harviele. He had never seen her look sad before, and now she looked as if she was as fragile as glass. Neon moved over and nuzzled her, lying down beside her and offering the only comfort he could give....

** Harviele napped lazily under the sade of the tall pine tree, every now and again catching a glimpse of the shadow of Asteri's wings above her. She sighed contentedly as her mate lay beside her, resting as well. Suddenly Wilflineom leapt up and took off in hot pursuit of a squirrel, bolting through the thick vegetation and deep into the forest. Harvey rolled her eyes before closing them again, sighing gently as the daylight dimmed.

"Asteri! Come for dinner!" She heard her human mate's voice ring out into the approaching night. Harviele got up and shook her red coppery fur, casually trotting inside the cabin. Following her came Neon, bolting inside the cabin before sliding to a stop, leaving a long smear of mud across the floor. "Ah, Wilfrineom," the woman sighed, finishing feeding Asteri before dropping food into both of the canines' dishes and proceeding to clean up the muddy mess the big male left. Finally full, the two curled up on the carpet together, side by side, and napped: Harvey from habit and Neon from exhaustion. All was quiet and calm.

Harviele was startled awake by the sound of a slamming door and raised voices. "I can't believe this!" A new male voice said. "They told me that I wasn't going to be moving again, that I could serve the rest of my time here. But no, guess what I got today? New orders! They're moving me out to California. California! I spent my entire life trying to get away from that place, only to be forced to live there once more until I leave the military!" The man continued to curse and rant, throwing the papers against the wall in anger. The two canines heard Asteri give a soft meow, and Neon himself gave a small whine.

"It's ok hun," the woman said, moving towards the man and hugging him, laying her head against his shoulder. As soon as we're done, we'll move again. We don't have alot so it's no trouble at all. I'll ask my parents to take care of the cabin while we're gone, they have enough money."

"Annie, it will be another four years."

"That's alright," she replied. "They love this place as much as we do."

The man gave her a sad look. "There are no animals allowed. We can't take Asteri, Neon, or Harvey with us. They have to go." The woman looked stricken; these were her babies, her best friends while he was overseas! She looked down as she started to cry. "I know," the man said, hugging her and rubbing her shoulder. "I love them too, but I can't do anything. The only way to keep them is for you to stay here."

"No," she said. "But I'll have to trust that their next owner will take as good care of them as I have."

The rest of the night and throughout the next morning, a grim silence hung over the two and became increasingly worse as they loaded the animals into the truck and drove into town. The man gently led the two into a shared kennel. He wished the best for them as he walked away, out of the shelter and back to the car.

The Mexican Wolf, subspecies of the Gray Wolf, are a breed native to North America, where they are the rarest. The Mexican Wolf is the smallest subspecies of the Gray Wolf, sometimes measuring quite small. They resemble European wolves, though their heads are broader, necks are thicker, ears are longer, and tails are shorter. Until recent times, the Mexican Wolf ranged the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts, from central Mexico to western Texas, southern New Mexico, and even into Arizona. But in more recent times, starting at the 20th century mark, the reduction of the deer and elk that these wolves fed on caused them to rely on attacking livestock, which led to extreme efforts by government agencies, farmers, hunters, and trappers to eradicate the Mexican Wolf. Today the Mexican Wolf is an endangered breed - the most endangered of the Gray Wolf subspecies - and is not far from going extinct. The Mexican Wolf is one of the rarest wolf breeds, having only 300 in captivity, and at the end of 2010, only having 50 released back into the wild out of the 100 that the reintroduction programs hoped to release.

The Arctic Wolf, also called the Polar or White Wolf, is a subspecies of the Gray Wolf. Arctic Wolves inhabit the Canadian arctic, Alaska, and the northern region of Greenland. This breed is the only subspecies of the Gray Wolf that can still be found over most of it's original range, seeing as it rarely encounters humans in it's environment. The Arctic Wolf is also the only subspecies of wolf that is not threatened, seeing as their remote home keeps them away from human contact and habitat destruction. These wolves live much further north than many scientists dare to venture. Their climate is so harsh and cold that only a few have gone out that far to study them. Even the Inuit, native to that region, lives much farther south than these wolves. Because of that, the vast majority of their lives has remained a mystery.

Why do you want these animals and what will you do for them?:
I've always wanted a dynamic duo, and when I saw these two... Well, I'm not sure how to explain. Something clicked inside me, and I just knew without thinking that they were what I needed, what I desired. The colorings are beautiful. The color schemes work so perfectly together, not just within one of the character, but between the two of them also. Purple has always been one of my favorite colors, and I love the electric violet tones against the black base on Khoga. And pink, my other favorite color. I love both the light pink and the pale, darker pink on Tobias, not to mention how it wonderfully compliments the silvery pelt.

I can just think of such perfect personalities for these two. I can just imagine Khoga getting them into these crazy situations, and then Tobias wondering how on earth he let himself get roped into this! Oh, how I could go on and on about the adventures the two would have. But since I shall not, I will simply tell you that I love these two. Now, you're probably thinking, "Why, what a cheap, unoriginal answer." However, I mean this in a more unique way. Yes, these two are absolutely beautiful, gorgeous, stunning - Whatever word plugs in to have the most significant meaning for you. But that is not the only reason why I am attracted to them.

Despite the fact that they have no original personalities, I can just sense their likelinesses radiating from them. Some may think that's a superstitious, unreal answer, being able to sense the personality of someone just by one look. But believe me when I say that I can and do. I see Tobias as being the more shy, mature one and Khoga being the reckless, outgoing party boy.

I will order lots of art of this duo. I promise that to you. The last character I won, Sacreyce, has art ordered of him that is not finished currently, so don't think that I'm just saying that I'll order art just to win these two. But because of the amazing adventures I can picture these two on, I will definitely HAVE to get art of them, or even make some of my own!

I shall also certainly put these two on my character thread, the link to which is in my signature. It isn't currently finished, seeing as I have too many more characters to add on, but I assure you that they will have their own comfy, roomy spot up there if I win them.

No, not if I win them. I dislike using the term "win". Because, really, I see characters as living things. They are developed, with designs and art and personalities and histories. In my mind, that makes them living. I find it disrespectful to say that you can "win" a living creature. I will be extremely happy not if I "win" them, but if I am donned the honor of taking these two under my wing as my lifelong companions and friends, into my sincere and loving care.

Personalities:
Khoga

forget about your boyfriend
and meet me at the hotel room
you can bring your girlfriends
and meet me in the hotel room

Bright and bubbly, this young male is an excitable fellow. He is very energetic and cannot often be found in a bad mood. He's reckless and doesn't take much pause to think about his actions before he does them, nor does he take the time to consider his words before they splurt out. This gets him into trouble, trouble that he usually drags his best friend Tobias into. He's not very responsible, and lives for anything fun. Khoga is a bouncy and funloving, not to mention a cocky and mouthy fellow, who has been said to have a sharp tongue. He is the master of seduction and persuasion, and can get almost any girl - or guy, he doesn't really have a preferance - he desires with ease. He's extremely flirty and can be sweet and gentlemanly when he wants to. He loves a challenge, and will pursue someone or something until they or it is his, has been accomplished, etcetera. Khoga is determined and steel-willed. Once he has made up his mind, he is almost impossible to sway.

Tobias

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

Tobias is the quiet, shy one. He speaks his mind and comes out of his shell when he's around Khoga, but when he's around a big crowd or people he doesn't know, he doesn't speak much. He's very shy when it comes to talking to girls, though they often find that cute about him. He's selfless and caring, and will happily help out whenever it is needed. He's very insecure about himself, despite the fact that he has Khoga always softly trying to break these insecurities and make him believe in himself. He's a huge romantic, even though he doesn't get in lots of relationships and is nowhere near matching Khoga's reputation of being a womanizer. But he's very sweet and dedicated, and when he has his eyes on someone, it is true, unlike some of his best friend's relationships that are merely for fun. When it comes to love, he falls fast and without looking before, and gets himself hurt this way. However, he's always got Khoga at his side to help him through it, and with Kho's help, he recovers at a fairly medium-paced rate.

Likes:
Khoga

The biggest like of Khoga's would have to be adventure. He craves new scenery, action, excitement. He can't stay in one place long, and this drives him to go to high heights to find new thrills. He's not what you would call an adrenaline junkie, but he does love the thrill of doing dangerous stunts and taking risks.
And with adventure, comes his like - no, love - of thrills, danger, and risks. He finds that risky situations, thrilling adventures, and dangerous moves make life interesting. A boring life is not for him at all.
Fun. Fun, fun, fun, fun! Anything fun. Anything that could prove intriguing or remotely fun is something he would try. He loves to try new things, and so he's often learning to do something new everyday.
Challenges are things that Kho finds great to pursue. If he wants something, he will not stop until he gets it. Especially when it comes to those he's taken an interest in. If he is romantically interested in someone, he likes it if they play hard to get. It's much too boring for him if they flirt right back immediately. He loves the chase and prefers those who will give one to him.
He loves anything that will give him a chance to show off, too. Anything that requires skill is something he'll do, just to be cocky and impress anyone he's got his eye on. He's very competitive and is very good at almost anything that requires natural skill. If it means he could show off and grind some loser into the dust, it's something he'd be up for.

Tobias

Tobias loves the outdoors. He's particularily interested in the wildlife. He has a thing with animals - Even though he is a predator, they do not run. They get close to him. There is some unspoken bond between he and the animals, a bond that lets them know that they can trust me.
He doesn't really like any type of sports. He's clumsy on his feet, and surely isn't the most graceful when it comes to jumping or anything. He isn't very athletic, and he prefers to solve his problems with logic rather than racing, proving who's better, dominance. Things like that.
He likes to learn things. Scientific things. Sure, he likes adventures and fun, but not nearly as much as Khoga. He likes little kids, and he enjoys to teach them about the world. When he's older, he hopes to have his own family, and to become a trainer of healing.
That is what he's best at. Healing. He's a great shaman. His wide knowledge of herbs and extensive natural ability to put them all together makes him great at it. This really helps when he is travelling about with Khoga, seeing as Kho gets into fights very often and though he almost always wins, he doesn't leave the fight without at least a couple of wounds that Tobi fixes up easily.
He loves to help out in any way that he can. He likes to dedicate some time to his pack, lending a paw here and there when he has time between Khoga's crazy schemes that he is always dragged off to.

Dislikes:
Khoga

Boringness is uncoolness, and uncoolness isn't something that Kho likes. He hates to be bored and that is why he hates to sit and watch Tobi finish his work before going off on an adventure with him. He has a short attention span, and so if something is boring, he can't focus on it.
Khoga hates it when he doesn't know something. If there's some joke or current gossip that everyone is talking about and he doesn't know about, he'll make it a personal mission to find out just what it is. He also doesn't like it when he's not in on some secret, though he oftens knows about all the current gossip, jokes, secrets, major news, etcetera.
Unhappiness isn't a good thing in Kho's mind. He's almost always very happy and upbeat, and so he doesn't like to see some hurt. However, he does often cause emotional pain and acts like he doesn't care, but it really does strike him in a weak spot when he sees it, especially if it is because of him.

Tobias

Tobi has a major fear of heights. He hates not having his paws on the ground, and gets dizzy when he's up too high. Kho often brings him up on some mountain-climbing trips, which he dreadedly lets himself get roped into. Nonetheless, he fears heights to an extreme amount and goes out of his way not to encounter them.
He doesn't really like water. Yes, he does go swimming from time to time, but he doesn't like being in the water that much. He doesn't fear the water itself. It's more drowning and what lurks in it that turns him away.
Too much excitement tires him out. He needs some time to relax in the day, though with Khoga that doesn't work out for him well.
Too much danger fries his nerves. He's a bit jumpy, and if there is too much danger in one day, his nerves won't be in good shape and he'll probably be a lot more skittish than normal.
Getting hurt is something that he hates, something that happens to him way too often. Females take advantage of his kindness and, because he's too sweet to stop denying that they do no wrong, it hits him exceptionally hard when he does find out that they have been doing something wrong. He fears getting hurt, yet he cannot stop his nature of falling in love much too easily.

Histories/Backgrounds:
"Are you kidding me? That's insane."
The young black-pelted male rolled his eyes. He'd just met an Arctic Wolf by the name of Tobias. The wolf was his age but a lot more mature, as he soon realized. "Yeah, that's why it was so much fun." he replied brightly. He'd just told this wolf of one of his skydiving ventures, and Tobias didn't seem to think it would be as fun as it was.
Tobias shook his head. "You know, you could've gotten yourself killed, Khoga."
"I'm perfectly aware of that. Again, another reason for it being so fun." Khoga said, smirking. He pushed Tobias playfully, his pale pink eyes amused. "Lighten up, kid."
"You're calling me a kid? Really?" Tobias replied with annoyed incredulousy.
"Yes. Yes I am."

Tobias smiled fondly as he thought back to that day. The day that he'd met his best friend in the entire world. Well, at the time, he didn't think much of Khoga. Wild, crazy, irritating - They were like complete opposites. But now they were basically inseperable.
"Hey, Tobi?"
The distant but deep, bright voice broke his thoughts. The voice was so very familiar, calling to him from a different room. "Yeah?" he called back, rising to his feet and padding into the other room.
Khoga was standing on one of his hind feet, his paw holding onto a dreamcatcher that he had made, trying to get it on the ring that hung from the ceiling. "Could you give me a hand?" he asked, his voice strained as he stretched up as high as he could, his hindleg extended outward while the other was placed on the ground.
Tobias laughed, running his eyes up and down his friend's crazy position. He trotted over, ducking underneath Khoga and lifting his one leg up. He then ducked under it, now having Kho standing on him. The new addition let Khoga rise up, hooking the velvety cord of the dreamcatcher onto the ring. He then dropped to all paws, leaping off of Tobias.
"Thanks." he said, admiring his work from afar.
Tobias straighted up, going to stand beside him. "Lovely addition to the room, don't you think?"
"Yeah, it's beautiful. But now you won't have nightmares that cause you to come wake me up in the middle of the night, right?" Khoga asked. That was the whole reason he had made and hung that dreamcatcher. His friend was plagued with nightmares and everytime he had one, he woke Khoga up so that he wasn't alone. He didn't want to be woken up in the middle of the night anymore. Well, that plus the fact that he was happy to help a friend.
"Hopefully not." Tobias replied, tilting his head as he gazed up at it.
"Hopefully? Ugh." Khoga groaned. "I thought you said that it would help for certain."
"Well, yes. It will help. That is certain. However, I am not certain if it'll completely get rid of the nightmares." Tobi said matter-of-factly, turning his head to face Khoga.
Khoga glared at him. "Whatever. Now, you hold up your end of the deal." he said, a smirk creeping onto his face, his eyes narrowing.
"My end?" Tobias chuckled nervously. His friend just nodded at him slowly, that grin widening. "Oh come on. You aren't really going to do this to me."
"I'm not? Oh, I'm quite certain that I am."
"Khoga." he groaned, his silvery head tilting and a desperation in his pale pinkish eyes.
"Let's go!" Khoga barked in excitement, bounding off with Tobias in tow.

"You're joking." he gulped shakily as he risked a glance over the rocks.
"I joke not. It's perfectly safe." Kho insisted. The two were set to go cliff-diving, which just happened to combine the two things Tobias hated and feared: Heights and deep water. The roar of the waterfall crashing over the jagged rocks didn't helped calm his nerves either. It was their deal. If he were to help get rid of Tobi's nightmares, they'd go cliff-diving. However, Tobias didn't actually think Khoga would do this to him.
He should've known better. "Look, Khoga, I only agreed to this because I didn't actually think you'd make me."
"You thought wrong." he replied simply, shrugging. "I mean what I say and I say what I mean. It's easy - I do it all the time."
"Well yes, but you have no fear whatsoever." Tobias commented, backing away from the ledge. He now stood facing Khoga, who had his back to the waterfall-like spout that crashed from the cliff's rocks and was nearing the edge. He had a plan, though. Tobi could see it in his eyes, though he wasn't sure what. "Kho, you're going to fall. Get over here." he said, moving closer to Khoga, who backed up extremely slowly, but had his heels just slightly hanging over the ledge. "Khoga, quit it." he said, a bit of anxiety now evident in his voice. Khoga was going to fall. And if he fell and didn't actually jump, he'd hit rocks on the way down, pass out, and probably drown. Sure, he drove Tobias crazy and got him into huge amounts of trouble, but he still cared about him. "Khoga, stop!" he snapped, the agitation taking control now.
What happened next went on much too fast. Before he even knew it, Kho had wrapped his paws around him and leaped backwards. Now, still confused about what had happened, the two held each other and plummeted down, Tobias scared stock-still and Kho laughing deliriously. They hit the water, breaking the surface and shooting downward before either of them had time to catch their breath.
Neither of them surfaced for a while. Tobi wasn't the greatest swimmer - Especially when he was so scared that his muscles felt locked. Khoga surfaced first, pulling himself onto the shore with bouts of coughing and laughter all in one.
Moments later Tobias pulled himself up, gasping for air as he lay flat on the sand. He peeled his face from the ground, sand covering his fur, sucking in all the air he could. He then turned his gaze to Khoga, staring at him like he was crazy as he continued to laugh, his coughing dying away. "Are you insane?!" he growled breathlessly.
"Yeah, pretty much!" Khoga laughed. "That was amazing!" he said, jumping to his feet. The rush of danger - that was what fueled him. That was what gave him such exhileration each day. His laughter, like his cough, faded away as he glanced at Tobias. "C'mon, Tobi. You can't tell me that wasn't fun."
"It wasn't, Khoga." he muttered, rising to his feet with his back turned. "You gave me a heart attack, you idiot. Not just with your stupid jumping, but then you kept backing up and I was concerned that--"
"That I'd fall." he finished quietly. Tobias blinked, turning back to face him.
"Yes?" he said in a questioning tone, his face quizzical. "Why wouldn't I be?"
Khoga looked away. "I just thought..." he trailed off.
"Thought...?"
Kho hesitated, inhaling deeply. "That you knew I wouldn't actually fall." he ended quietly, releasing all his air.
"That isn't what you were going to say." Tobias said, taking a few steps closer.
"Yes, it was."
"No, it wasn't, Khoga."
"Tobias." he growled warningly, turning away.
"Khoga." he replied pryingly, taking a cautious step closer.
"That's exactly what I was going to say, okay?" Khoga snapped guardedly as he whipped around with his fangs bared, his irritated face only inches from his friend, who looked a mixture of being shocked, hurt, and fearful.
Tobias backed away. Khoga never snapped at him. Never. He was always the calm one, while Tobi was the one snapping. "O-Okay." he whispered with a stutter, swallowing hard. Their eyes were locked in silence until Khoga turned, something new in his eyes - though Tobi couldn't quite catch what - before simply walking away and leaving him standing there in surprise.

That night, Tobias was contemplating what had happened earlier. He wasn't sure how long he stood there after the dispute, but it was long after Khoga disappeared from sight that he could even get his thoughts straight, not to mention actually think about walking home. To anyone else, a friend snapping wouldn't have been so surprising. But in this situation, it left him with shock. In the three or four years they had known each other, Khoga had never even gotten the slightest bit angry with him. He'd gotten annoyed, yes, but never angry. And never like that. Never aggressive. Khoga never caused Tobi to actually fear him. Never, until today. They were inseperable. They were like two halves of a whole, completely different but yet so unexplainably the same. There could not be one without the other, like night and day. There was no day without a night. Like the sun and the moon - No sun without the moon. Like a negative and a positive. Without the negative, the positive could not be. Though he was confused and hurt, one thing was for sure:
He needed Khoga.

Meanwhile, Khoga felt horrible. Like a monster. If he would've let his sliver of self-control left ooze away like the rest, he could've actually hurt Tobias. And then he'd just walked away without even an apology or an explanation. He knew that because of that, his best friend in the entire world was scared of him. He could only imagine how Tobi felt - This feeling of causing that was bad enough, "Just imagine what the feeling of having it directed at you is like." he muttered to himself, ending his thoughts aloud. He had to go over there and apologize, he decided as he played absently with the hairs of the comfortable bison pelt he slept on. But would Tobias even accept him into his home? Would he even listen to him, let alone talk to him? Would he forgive him even if he did listen? Though there were so many possibilities that he could babble on like an idiot and make a fool out of himself, or end up being completely dismissed by his best friend, or being denounced as Tobias' friend, the one possibility of winning him back was great enough to get him to stand up. He felt terrible and foolish, and didn't know what he'd say, but one thing was for sure:
He needed Tobias.

The two had the same thoughts on their minds - The need for each other. Walking across the pack camp, they continued on without hesitation. Until, finally, they ended up meeting in the middle. "Tobias, I'm so--" Khoga began, though he was cut off when Tobi flung his paws around him, burying his face into Kho's fur. Slowly, Kho wrapped his paws around Tobi, the two locked in a warm, tight embrace. "Sorry." he ended, whispering into Tobias' ear.
"I need you."
The whisper was a bit of a surprise to hear from Tobi. Khoga blinked, processing the words. How so did he mean this? Like a friend, or... "I need you, too." he found himself replying in a murmur.
Tobias pulled away, not making eye contact. "The dreamcatcher didn't help." he said quietly, a nervousness in his voice. "I can't sleep by myself, so, uh..."
Khoga chuckled. He caught on quite quickly, despite being so confused and surprised. Clearly this was awkward for Tobi, seeing as neither of them had ever considered being anything more than best friends, and though he himself was clearly experienced either way, perhaps Tobias had never been... Open, persay, to it. "So I'll go fight off the monsters." he replied, his voice lowered.
Tobias met his gaze shyly, and for only a brief moment before glancing away. "G-Good." he murmured like a sweet little kid who had just asked for something he didn't think he could have and had just ended up getting it.

Early-morning lavender light poured into the few cracks in the stone walls, lighting up a peaceful, silvery face. Tobias stirred, his eyes opening and coming into focus. He glanced around for the source of warmth beside him, and found his paw draped over a black-pelted, sleeping figure. He edged away slowly, careful not to wake the figure so early in the morning. Rising to his feet, he ran his eyes over the sleeping face of Khoga, thinking back to what had happened last night. They had found each other, Khoga had apologized, he had asked for Kho's help, and then they came back here... He trailed off. "Oh, God." he muttered almost silently. Certainly his mind hadn't been working very well last night.
It had to have been the confusion and pain of their skirmish that caused him to even consider doing something like this. Had he not even thought about how this would affect their friendship? Maybe he could just leave and forget about it. Explain to Khoga that he hadn't been thinking straight and this was all a big mistake...
"Mmm, up so early?"
The voice caused him to turn. His eyes fell upon Khoga turned toward him, his head propped up on his paws. "I was going to go for a walk." he replied quietly, awkwardly.
"Need some company?" Kho asked with a yawn, his eyes sweet yet sleepy.
"You should just go back to sleep. I'll be fine on my own." the last thing he wanted was to go for a walk with Khoga. He'd probably bring up last night, and then they'd have to talk about it, and it'd be a bit awkward jumble of random babblings...
"You sure?" he asked, tilting his head. Tobias just nodded, faking a small, reassuring smile. "Alright." Khoga murmured, turning away and curling back up. In a few minutes, his breathing slowed and he became still and silent.
Tobi pushed the deer pelt that covered the entrance to the den aside, dropping it quickly behind him so as to keep it dark, which in turn would keep Khoga deeply asleep.
He then found himself walking through the meadow. It was barely light out - Only a few hours past midnight. The sky wasn't pitch black anymore, but a lighter violet, with patches of lavender seeping in as time passed. He hadn't been paying attention to where he was going - His thoughts were much too consuming.
What were they now? Surely they were no longer best friends. No, they must be more now. But what? Well, first he had to determine what he wanted. Did he want to just be friends? Or...
The idea was so foreign. Never had he imagined looking at Khoga and seeing more than a friend. Now that he thought about it, though, was it really that crazy? Was it really that unrealistic? "No." he whispered to himself in sudden realization. There was nothing crazy about having an actual relationship that progressed past friendship with Khoga. There was nothing unrealistic. Why hadn't he thought about this before? Even last night, when he was running over the fact that they were two halves of a whole. How had he never realized that...
That they were soulmates.

Tobias was happy to get back to that den. When he looked at Khoga's face now, he saw something differently. No, not something. Someone. Kho was no longer his best friend. It was so much more than that.
"I love you." he murmured softly. Knowing that no one would hear him, knowing that the only other one here was asleep, made it so much easier to admit that. Though he could've sworn he saw Kho's eyelids flutter...
"Love you, too."

Thank you so much, -3B-, for this amazing opportunity.
Also, their theme songs alone are written in their personalities (Khoga's being Hotel Room Service by Pitbull, and Tobias' being She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5) but their theme song together is Accidentally In Love by Counting Crows.

◊ Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it? ◊
I was scrolling down through this Pound and was searching for a character. Simple or complex. Natural or unnatural. Darks or neons. It wasn't until I practically gave up on scouring the place when I found Celestia. My finger was tiring quickly from that little scroll button on the mouse ( between the two click buttons ) and I just didn't feel satisfied with any of the other designs. Yes, they're all gorgeous and I'd order art for them ( if they were my own ) but it just didn't complete my taste of what I wanted, which at that point I had no clue what I was looking for. I was just searching away. I came across kennel P124 and loved the design but that's when I thought to myself, "Keep searching, there is more to go even though this one is lovely as ever!" My scroller finger kept scrolling slowly but steadily through all the kennels and that's when he popped up in front of me. In kennel P132 was a beautiful lion with a static shock to it. I was tempted to fill out this very form for him but out of the bottom of the screen shows this wonderful mask Celestia is wearing. I gaped at it and jumped to that kennel immediately. It was like a magnetic field pulled me to it. The colors don't clash but instead amalgamate wonderfully and creates joy in my heart. The feathers on her shoulderblades and hind-quaters just add to the drop dead GORGEOUS beauty of this wonderful creature. Swifter than a hummingbird, I copied the form and pasted to fill it out for her.
Celestia will get her own reserved spot in my character thread ( at the top area ! Mind you, that's where all my special characters are placed ), and receive MUCH MUCH MUCH art.

◊ Personality ◊

♦ Humor ♦
"I may have never seemed like I had a drop of humor inside of me... But I do."
Everyday I'd interact with one of my socially advance friends, they'd speak like mono toned robots. I have emotions guys! I am a normal canine just like the rest of you! I'm not a boring stick in the mud that takes the fun out of party. I have a sense of humor that could knock you all dead! Not literally of course... Okay, I may have never seemed like I had a drop of humor inside of me... But I do. When in small groups, I've got jokes that could cause a stitch in your side. My humor isn't THAT dry and my comebacks and jokes aren't THAT lame. Are they?
♦ Class ♦
"It's all about how you act."
When you're around your friends, I can understand if you act like a fool and begin to get to the point of yelling your stories... But when you are around others that you don't know, or your trying to please someone... It's all about how you act. If you are obnoxious, loud, and annoying, I guarantee they will stare at you like your crazy.
♦ Respect ♦
"Always respect elders, others, and yourself."
When talking, helping, or acting around others you should ALWAYS have respect. Not just for them but for yourself. You should be rude and shove you way through a line to get some place, but instead excuse yourself as you pass them to let them know your sorry for bumping into them or for getting in their way. That's what annoys me most, those who don't show respect. Especially the children to their parents! If you want your parents to let you do things, see people, and have a bit of freedom, I suggest you step up your game and be more respectful to them. Not yell at them, fuss over something insignificant that they won't let you do, and even to the extreme, physically touch them. Doing this shows you have no self respect or for others. Always respect elders, others, and yourself.
♦ Caring ♦
"I'll be there to pick you up when you fall. Promise."
My family and close friends are a number one priority. They come first and always will. We have been through thick and thin together and nothing can change that. Why? Because the past IS the past and you can't change that. I've learned over my years, that caring is a type of love. It's a way to show someone you are there for them and don't think they're a speck of dust in your world like we are to the universe. Then there's the few friends I've accumulated here and there that aren't "good" friends. We just associate ourselves with one another, such as, "Oh yes, my friend ________, was in the park yesterday..." Even though I wouldn't CONSIDER them a close friend, I'd still be there for them even if it would be a tad awkward. Just remember, I'll be there to pick you up when you fall. Promise.
♦ Stubborn ♦
"That's NOT THE TRUTH!"
After being told a not-surprising amount of times, I've come to accept the fact that I'm bull-headed and stubborn at the utmost craziest times. Say we were arguing, for some odd reason, about how love at first sight is or isn't real. I've come to catch myself being accepting of the fact that OTHERS may believe that it's true. I'll argue to the point of my face turning blue and still continue on the pattern of my insane, stubborn attitude. It's quite hard to argue something that has to do with belief with me, for I have been told I am bull-headed about the topics. My "not-giving-up" attitude has not gotten me far in most cases, but that is me. Oh yes, I've even gotten to the point of yelling out and squealing "That's NOT THE TRUTH!" because my stubbornness has taken control of my thought process.

◊ History/Background ◊
I was born on the ninth of April with a full moon in bloom. Weighing in at an average ten pounds, three ounces and being a length of seven inches, I began the adventure of a lifetime. One that would be memorable. Why? For it is the life I currently live.

"There's only one memory I can remember after that day..."

I awoke in a vast field of billowing flowers, the sun shining it's way through the stalks, and the trees slightly swaying from the gentle breeze. I took four small whiffs of the air and began to stretch wildly. I threw my arms and legs out to my sides and proceeded to squeal out a great big yawn. It was just after eight in the morning; I could tell by where the sun was positioned in the sky. As I blinked my eyes a few times to become more lively, I flipped over onto my paws and pushed myself fully onto them. Gradually, I pranced through the daisies and grass to the large apple tree nearby. It carried glistening cherry red apples on the ends of the branches and way high up at the acme of the tree. I pounced at the trunk, rebound off it, then thrusted myself upward, gripping an apple between my teeth, for morning breakfast. Softly, I hit the ground, causing the grass to flutter harder. At the base of the tree, I slid down with a miniscule plop and bit into the fresh apple. It's juice squirted all about and landed on my face, along with bits and pieces of red apple. I shook my face to remove the food and continued to munch on the snack. It was about that time of year again. The orchids were just in bloom, their fragrance drifting throughout the meadow. Purples, pinks, whites. The pastel colors blanketing the ground; slowly and gradually but speedy enough to not make you wait three hours. I spun, on the tops of my toes, in a wobbly circle; twirling, twirling, twirling about. This day was beautiful and felt so... magical. It seemed like a dream; nothing but perfection. This fairytale seemed like nothing could go wrong. NOTHING. I fell to the ground, softly, on my back and twisted around in the soft, comforting grass. Nothing could ruin this, for it's my life.

May take a bit ; but I'll attempt to make some of this beauty!

Good luck to everyone! I would love to have this lovely gal, but if someone else wins her, that shows how much they wanted and probably deserved her as well! (:

Still a crazy WIP <3

I like the look of 2 charries. Is it possible to combine their stories together to make one?

[! october]

@Loup Garou;
That's perfectly fine, just keep in mind the fact that you may not end up winning both of the characters. [Or you very well might; please dont take that as negative. ^^;]

Also, this round is now closed; I apologize for the delay with it.
If you don't see your form on the list yet, do not be concerned; I'll be updating that before I begin evaluating them.
