I'm sorry. Just read over what I had said and it does sound very harsh on you. I didn't mean it as harshly as it sounded, I assure you. It just needs some fixing up, I'd be more than happy to work with you on it if that's what you'd like ^^

[incadence.]

Is the next code drop still January the 28th or has it been changed? ^-^

I keep forgetting to edit my form DX

[Solanum]

It is still January the 28th ^^ It won't change.
The only real reason it changed was because of SCAA's code drop, as both wesleydog and I do that as well.

[Wesley]

Yes, it's more than a bit stressful to do both code drops on the same week, especially to me, because of updating kennels, codewords, and success stories for both places, and both of us judging for both places. |D SCAA moved forward a week, so we had to move this place too to avoid clashing. ^^
Anyhow, my day today shouldn't be too terribly busy, so if anyone is looking for some tips or critique, you can just post here or PM me. :3 I'll also be going through our forms and checking progress. Love reading a good form. ^^ And next code drop, I'll be sure to put a form or two in of my own. (:

Username :: H o w l i n g
Name :: Lost
Gender :: Female ♀
Species :: Australian Shepherd
Kennel Number :: Seventy Three

Why would you like this character/What will you do for this character? :: Let me start with why I want this beautiful Australian Shepherd. The breed, for one thing, has always been one of my favorites. My friend has a young Australian Shepherd puppy, and looks very similar to this design. There for, I instantly fell in love. I've always wanted an Australian Shepherd character or two, and now I have the chance. Her design is the perfect example of an Aussie, not unrealistic, and extraordinary all the same. The Bi-color eyes are another aspect I applaud with great honor. It's just the sort of thing I'm looking for in an Aussie character, for I've always thought of a blue hue for one and a brown hue for another quite interesting. Then there is that light blue bandana, which complements the design fully. It goes with the blueish grey tints to her glorious coat, and left blue eye.

Now, on to what I would do with Lost if I won her this code drop. More than likely, She'll have a page here with Angel and I'll make sure she gets a page on my character site [The new one, I haven't given out the link to it because it's still being moved from the old one ^^;;] and baby her with beautiful art. c: I'd go right to some of my favorite artists when they open to get some good art to put on her page []And to show off. xDD]. I'd also, which is rare for me to do, start a story on the writing board starring Lost as the main character. c: I've truly been inspired here, enough said. ^^ Of course, I'd make sure she was never forgotten or felt unloved. I'd possibly join a few roleplays with her, if I could find a good semi-literate roleplay that allows pictures that aren't realistic [Not color-wise, photowise.]

Personality :: A quiet canine, is one way to describe Lost. She doesn't talk to anyone unless she has to, or if she knows them pretty well. If the conversation is started with a stranger, the young Aussie will practically shut down and block out anything around her, besides anything that seems important. She startles easily, as would a mouse. The slightest movement on the city streets that she can't Identify? Flight instinct takes full control, and she is out of there in an instant. Sad if you ask me, that she lives in fear most of the time.

She looked up to her mother, her protector. After her death, Lost hasn't found anyone else to place in that spot. She had siblings, sure, but after their separation she doesn't think of them often. They were never very nice, her siblings. They seemed to loath the very air she breathed, and so she cared less than a rats tail what happened when she left, or more specifically was forced to leave. Besides her troubles, she can be very sweet and kind once she opens up, but stubborn. She is like a bull when it comes to something she believes is right, and her opinion wont change lightly.

History :: The young stray wandered the buzzing streets of Boston, ears planted against her head. She needed to find somewhere where she could quietly birth her litter without the Furless Ones being able to snatch up her pups. She despised and feared them, those things. They came in their big thundering horses and took dogs off the street. From what she heard from other strays, the outcome wasn't good. They were taken and put into giant cages, and then given the death sentence. That, or they were stuck in those giant cages their whole life. Terrible, if you asked her.

Finally, she spotted something;; an alley opening. It reeked of rats and other nasty odors, but that meant the Furless Ones wouldn't come down there. She would be safe while she birthed her pups. Or pup, but she assumed there were at least two. It was uncommon for a dog like her to only birth one pup, but still, it could happen. She padded down the alley, finding a nice secluded spot behind some crates by two buildings. It seemed quiet here, and the rats wouldn't be a problem if she didn't wander to far.

And so, she curled up and waited. They came shortly after, the three of them. Two were female, and one was a male. But...one of the female pups, she was smaller than the others. She hadn't even cried when she was exposed to air for the first time. But she was alive, and that was all that mattered. While instinct told the mother dog to leave the pup for its doom, that it was too small to survive, she raised it anyways. The stronger two pups despised her, from birth the mother could tell. And so, she named the little runt Lost, and Lost she was, whether she knew it or not.

Lost was around five months of age when it happened.

Her brother, Kite and her sister, Chase were doing their normal things, ignoring Lost and playing tag. Of course, they hated her. She knew it when her mother would take them to the side and give them a scolding about how they should let Lost play with them too, but they always ignored her after a round of 'Can't catch me!' or 'Listen to every word we Say!" Lost didn't really understand why they hated her, just that they did. She assumed it was because her mother favored her over them, and because she was small. Weak. Nothing. They said all these bad things about her, that she should of never been born and that mother should of let her die when she was.

These words hurt her, but not as much as the fact that her own siblings didn't like her in the least did. But what was about to happen would hurt even worse.

Lost's mother had taken her out to learn how to scavenge off of the garbage in the city. She had done this a week ago with Kite and Chase, but now it was her turn. She had to learn sooner or later. Her mother wouldn't always be there for her. It was going well, her mother was showing her all the good spots and how to locate them by scent. Then it happened. It happened so fast. Lost and her mother were crossing the street when the Furless Ones monster came out of nowhere. The roar hit Lost's ears like a train, and her mother threw her to the sidewalk.

Then there was the sickening crunch that followed and the sound of squealing wheels.

Other :: Internet crashed the first time while I had the second part to the personality and the full history. D: God I hate my computer. Made me want to break down. Had stuff for the boy below too. ene

Username :: H o w l i n g
Name :: Angel
Gender :: Male
Species :: Australian Shepherd
Kennel Number :: Seventy Two
Why would you like this character/What will you do for this character? :: As I've stated for Lost, he'll have a page on my character site, and he'll be included in the story I write for her. They, strangely, will both have their own thread on site here, and their own page on my character site. I don't normally make pages on site for characters, but these two babies are beautiful and deserve one. <33 I will make sure he gets plenty of love and art and anything else he needs. I'll care for him like no other.

Personality :: Angel isn't an..angel. He is rather cold, and could care less what happened to someone else. If someone is killed in his presence he'll go on like nothing ever happened. However, he does have one solo friend who he depends on for friendship and a little dose of kindness every once and awhile. Lost. He met her awhile after her mother passed on, and though there was many differences between them, they bonded and became good friends.

History :: Angel wandered the streets of the town in quiet thought, his paw pads hitting the concrete of the sidewalk silently, his claws only making the slightest of noises. The streets were quiet tonight, strange the silence was. It was hardly ever silent here, but now it was.
Other :: Pretty much explained in Lost's form what happened. Will work on this some tomorrow if there is time.

Could you edit your original post rather than quoting please? It makes it easier on me with the form list.

[west ,]

When do we find out if we have won the characters? I'm desperate to see if I have got the Great Dane!

[Solanum]

You will find out shortly after the code drop, which is on the 28th. Until then you may continue editing ^^
