Not all is what it seems and pink can hide the truth as well as dreams
A ribbon of pink around her neck declares her style and outlook
But while she likes her pretty scarf the bright aspect of her mind likes more
The enjoyment of outwitting opponents that didn't know she too was a player
In the checked games of wits and might.
The darker color of her coat could show a blandness that fears the bright,
But holds instead a fascination for the night.
She uses shadows instead of light and in their covers can still use sight
To see others flaws that make her strong, give her wings and let's her lead.
Her feminine body might look weak but she has strength keen wits and mind
A dance on the heads of the "strong" who stumble and lunge below her
Gives her paws a slight job while a mind calculates undisturbed above all.
She is the one who sees the night, who tramples might, who knows the right.
she calls herself I, they call her LaLonde.


I decided to write her a poem. I picture her as an intelligent, no-nonsense female with a sharp tounge and quick wit. She runs circles (mentally and occasionally physically) around suitors and males who believe themselves stronger and more capable than herself. She has a soft appearance and an easy beauty that she manipulates others with. She herself ignores appearances because she knows their lies. The pink scarf she wears is both because she likes it and as a reminder to have fun and enjoy life.

In holding with the personality I imagine her having, my form is unadorned (she would only laugh if it had neat boxes and swirly borders.) I hope my idea of her is similar to what you imagined for this dark lovely in her bright pink scarf =D

Though the danger will flash
in the whites of your eyes
And Heaven meets Hell
in the break of the skies
and fire will bend
and burn all your ties
and can barely you hear
the soft child's cries
As we run.

With force it strikes down
setting rubble aflame
with laughter asounding
from those who think it a game
But with no one around
to whisper your name
try to remember
As we run.

With the world at an end
will you take my hand?
Walk slowly with me
and strike up the band
this now-empty world is ours
we'll walk sand-to-sand

Because we ran.

These were the words I jotted down in black ink sealed inside an envelope. As the rain poured down around me, the only thing I could see, the only thing that suddenly mattered, was winning over the creature standing before me. I nodded once, not offering a smile, as I set the envelope at the creature's large paws. I looked into his eyes, just once, before turning away and waiting.
I was tempted to run.


His name would be Astearion. { as-stay-air-ee-in }

(Note....this story is fictional. Has nothig to do with my Grandma)

You know, when I was a child, my Grandmother would tell me stories of when she was a little girl. And one day, she told me of a legendary creature that cane with the thunderstorms. This was her story...
"Now back when I was a youngster we would sit on the porch and watch the clouds roll by. We would make up stories with mysterious creatures to pass the time. Little did I know that my creature was real! "

"They say that when the sky turns dark and thunder strikes, its the sign of the Thunder King. This beautiful black cat races through the sky in a never ending race. His pawsteps make the thunder as they touch the clouds and lighting covers his pelt, sparking. He is a gentle, yet stern creature that loves the rain. He only appears to special people."

I remembered my story well, for It was an old legend passed down from generation to generation. One day, it came true. I was sittingalone on my porch when all of a sudden, a huge clap of thunder sounded and for some unknown reason, I looked up at the clouds. There he was, for a split second, the Thunder King. Just as the stories had said. This was something I never forgot and will always remember."

All About You
Name:
Demotivated_bear

Acinonyx wanted:
Two, 2

Why this one?:
How do I explain what's going through my head right now as I look at her picture? The first thing that caught my attention with her surprisingly wasn't her scarf. It was the deep shade of purple that makes up most of her body. It's so pretty and unwavering that I can't help but stare at it. It goes well with the purple flames that make her so much prettier. The scarf does add to it. It makes her seem more sophisticated to me than some of the others I've seen on this thread.

Her looks aren't the only reason I want her, however. I can already feel her as a character, as a partner of sorts. I can already sense her personality, growing and expanding in my mind. What makes her tick, so to speak. I can't wait to put her story down where others can see it.

The main reason I want her is a combination of all of the things I listed beforehand. You see, she reminds me of my childhood dog, Lady. Her aloof demeanor and her understated sophistication. When I scrolled down to see the new Acin, it was like a picture of Lady was sitting on the page, calling out to me. It makes me long to have this girl, and it makes me absolutely adore her already.

What will you do with her?:
A little bit of everything. Roleplay, write stories, and especially draw her. He's too adorable to ignore, or be left to rot on my character thread.

Creature Feature!
Identity and Physical Characteristics

Given Name:
Acin 2.

Chosen Name:
Amethst

Why?:
I know the name seems a little cliche, but I couldn't think of anything that would fit her better than that. Amethyst, a beautiful gemstone that has as many facets as any living creature.

Fur:
Amethyst's fur is a deep purple in color on most of most body. Lighter shades of purple accentuate her face and highlight the longer fur on her underbelly, giving her a slightly more complex appearance. It is thick and soft, providing her with excellent protection against the elements when she is outdoors. The flames that mark her spine and tail hold no heat, they are barely even a source of light. In fact, they seem to hold no purpose other than decoration.

Measurements:
Amethyst stands at 38 inches at the shoulder, making her rather tall. She is around four feet from the tip of her muzzle to the tip of her flaming tail.

Weight:
100 pounds

Emotional Details
Trademark Traits:
Active
Agile
Athletic
Bold
Confrontational
Crafty
Independent
Intelligent
Inquisitive
Loyal
Reserved
Resilient
Quick

Personality:

One word cannot be used to sum up this Acin, however stoic comes rather close. This female very rarely shows any emotion, choosing instead to hide them in order to keep others on their guard when they are near her. On those rare occasions when she does show what she's feeling, it doesn't last very long at all, usually ending within a few seconds.

Amethyst is an alert, affectionate and curious companion once she gets to know the one she's traveling with, however. She is very cheerful and is devoted to her partner, almost to a fault. She is very spirited, but absolutely fearless, something that her partner must work to balance every day. Despite this, she adores companionship, as long as he is very familiar with the person. With strangers Amethyst is reserved and quiet, and many times, aloof. It takes her a long time to trust, however once she does trust someone she would give her life to save theirs as they become part of her family. She is incredibly protective of members of this ‘family’, although she tends not to show it.


Amethyst is incredibly intelligent, a fact that she tends to hide when given the chance. If she is given an inch, she will do her best to take a mile, becoming very willful and demanding. Because of this, Amethyst functions best when she has clear guidelines to follow, and limitations on what she is and is not permitted to do. Her intelligence also leads to issues when she is bored, as she will find ways to amuse herself that others probably wont find as funny as she does.

Because of her intelligence, Amethyst knows she isn’t like other Acin. She knows the fabric that graces her neck makes her different from the rest of her species. Because of this, she is a bit vain, and she takes pride in keeping herself and her scarf clean. When she is around other animals, Amethyst makes sure that her beauty is noticed. She loves hearing the praises from others, and she's gotten very good at ignoring the negative comments, although she shows no outward reaction to either.






Care:
Dental:
Amethyst cleans her teeth every chance she gets by gnawing on relatively rough surfaces. However, she knows that her teeth are rather fragile, and she does take good care of them.

Coat:
Amethyst's coat is very easy to care for, as she takes care of it herself. She does enjoy a weekly brushing with a shedding comb to remove lose hair and dirt, followed by a brisk brushing with a soft bristled brush to bring out the shine in her coat, but she will only allow a closely trusted companion to do so.

A Piece Of Amethyst
© By: Raymond A. Foss


in the dirt, the lawn, just barely visible
a bit of smooth color, catching the light
the wet earth, after the mower cleared more away
a piece of amethyst, the stem of a goblet perhaps
pulled from the ground, no longer hidden
soft living color, muted purple lilac
cool in my hand, heavy crystal in my pocket
carried with me for the afternoon
saved for further contemplation
on the meaning of the finding
amethyst, under the living pine

Offering: Poem

Flames flicker across the night sky,
Leaving flying petals of debris,
Trees burn and start to die,
As the flames roam free as can be,

White flames dance around and around,
Engulfing the forest in ash,
Burning further and faster across the ground,
While trees crackle and crash,

Fireman rush to the spot,
Just as the fire begins to grow,
Frantically doing what they were taught,
As the great fire, soon begins to slow.

[Mr.Milo]

Hey Milo, have you finished Aki? No rush, I was just wondering.

Name:
Lostrego
His name means "Lightning" in Galician.

To-Be-Mate:
Sadaya


--Other--

Solace; also appears in the story.

True Offering:
The only sounds in the still afternoon were the light pawsteps of a pacing female Acin, her red and gold flames licking the tips of the emerald green leaves. Why had she even suggested staying for a little longer? Amethyst, Alex, and the other four Ahzenai had already gone home, but her friend Solace had stayed behind with her. She gave a small grunt as the image of the male Acin flashed in her head. Lostrego.... His name flashed through her mind and she moved into a trot. What was she thinking? A male like him wouldn't be interested in her. She was just a plain Jane: totally uninteresting, not flashy, easily overlooked, easily forgotten. She snorted and Solace sighed. "Calm down Sadaya," he mumbled. "You're gonna tire yourself out very quickly."

"I can't help it!" She snapped, stopping for a brief moment. The female then seemed to deflate. "I'm sorry," she murmured. "Just my nerves. I can't seem to make a sound decision." She stopped to look at the black and silver-blue colored male sitting in the clearing, speaking to others as they came and went. Sadaya sighed. "He'd probably never want anyone like me."

"Never know until you try," Solace replied, laying his head back on the branch. She stared up at him for a moment, then looked back to the plain. Hauling herself up, she padded off, deeper into the forest. She walked for awhile, then picked up into a trot. The movement made her feel better. Sadaya picked up into a lope, then to a full-blown run. She leapt over trees, under roots, throught the tall grasses; the feeling was exhilirating. She didn't know how long she had been running until she burst into the clearing by accident, in the process slamming into Lostrego. She gave a small yelp of suprise, and Lostrego grunted as they went tumbling across the lawn, said male Acin landing on top. They laid there frozen for a long moment before Sadaya leapt from underneath him. If an Acin could blush, she would have been. "Oh, uh, Lostrego, um, I was just, uh," she lapsed into silence, looking at the ground.

"Just coming to finally talk to me?" Lostrego gave a charming grin.

Sadaya glanced up at him. "Wha?"

"I've been noticing you staring at me for a long time. I kept hoping you'd come and talk to me, as some of the other prospects would not leave me alone. So, want to take a walk down to the river?" He seemed to purr, his ice-blue flames flickering enticingly. She gave a small smile, laying her tail over his.

"Of course."

[passion.]

These are amazing! Great job! I especially like the darkness element. I will definitely be back for a custom...

Haiku's and a picture.

Haiku's:
A silhouette sprints,
A scarf waving in the wind.
Flames glow on its spine.

Aqua eyes blaze past,
Their gleaming depths so pure blue,
Gems set in black stone.
