Okay, thank you.
I won't be able to continue my story, this boosts my spirits a lot.
I'll remove my story. No point in having an uncompleted story XD

[! october]

I have a quick question, I want to try for a character who's donation form was put up four or three pages ago and it was never put up on the adoption post, does that mean that it will be up next round? Thanks c:

Yeah, those will be up next round. c:
[Which shouldn't be too far off, as this one ends tomorrow.]

I am looking to adopt...
Picture:
Kennel number: P62
Name: Arasoc
Breed: Carolina Dog (American Dingo) mix with stray domesticated dog.
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
When I got online during the summer, one of the first places I came to was here. I needed something to do, and I wanted a new character friend to care for. And what do I see, but this beautiful boy... <3 I've been working on his personality in my head for a while, though his story is yet to be written - it will be, though, if I'm granted the chance to own him. I want to make his story as flexible as possible as the new storyline develops, so he'll stick to the storyline no matter how it forms.
He'll be written about, drawn, and loved, just like all of my other characters. <3

"The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be."
Lao Tzu

Personality:
Cocky. Arasoc doesn't know the meaning of the word 'humble'; To him, any animal that displays this trait is seem as "street-dumb" and "weak", and therefore not worth his time. He has no respect for civilized behavior or common courtesy, and even less respect for anyone who might have "authority" over him - not that he ever listens or obeys.
Temperamental. Arasoc... has a temper. And this temper isn't very well restrained. He's likely to tear a hole into someone for merely standing in his way - or any other minimal offense.
Obsessive. When Arasoc likes something, he obsesses over it until it no withers from the attention - like a balloon worried over so much that it pops. As such, he is also very protective - to the extent of being worse than an overbearing mother hen.
Kleptomaniac. Arasoc has this nasty habit of stealing things. He can't really help his sticky-fingers syndrome - but it sure helps him get a neat collection of stuff.
Curious. Arasoc has never been able to tame his curiosity. He usually ends up in situations that he should never have gotten himself into, just because he couldn't contain himself. Unfortunately, he also bears many scars from these accidents.

Likes:
Warmth. Arasoc's body temperature is naturally lower than normal, and so he has a hard time getting and staying warm. Any warmth he can obtain, he takes - be it from fire, a human dwelling, or the body of another, larger creature.
Crowds. The bigger the gathering, the more stuff he can nick from others, and the more attention he can bring upon himself. Arasoc relishes any gathering, be they peaceful, curious or even belligerent - as long as he's not the victim of violence.
Gold. Arasoc loves gold more than fish love water. It's not the value that he loves - it's the shininess, and the fact that humans value the metal so much. He loves that it takes little more than a stolen pair of gold cufflinks to bring attention to himself.
Feathers. Another weakness of Arasoc is feathers. He loves them, even if they're from the grungiest, least-loved bird ever to exist. He likes to think that one day, he'll figure out how to fly - but for now, they make a wonderful bed.

Dislikes:
Storms. Arasoc is petrified of thunder and lightning. Plain and simple.
Laughter. If there's one thing in the world that Arasoc could erase from the world, it would be the possibility of making fun of him. He hates being the butt of jokes and derisive comments, and any bit of laughter makes him angry.
"Weaklings". Arasoc hates those that he perceives as weak. He has no use for them, other than to steal from them and manipulate them as needed.
Pyrite. Though it's shiner, stealing pyrite from humans causes less of a fuss. It's no wonder to him why it's called "Fool's Gold" - he certainly feels like a fool when he takes it.

History/Background:
Short of the long, Arasoc was born on the streets and learned to steal for food. Unfortunately for those around him, he also learned how to steal valuables. His wild upbringing has caused him to lose much of the sympathy he might have had, were he raised in a domestic setting, but, as he is, he values life by its usefulness, and not merely by the presence of life itself.

I am looking to adopt...
Picture:
Kennel number: F62
Name: Ahon
Breed: Grizzly Bear
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
To be honest, bears usually don't strike my interest. But since I made my own bear, Tobias, I've been looking more and more into them. Ahon didn't really get to me at first, but in this past week, I've fallen more and more for him, until I just can't resist. He, too, will be written about and drawn. <3

"The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be."
Socrates

Personality:
Dignified. Ahon is a bear with dignity and pride. He values honor and is intolerant of "under the table" business.
Watchful. Ahon is extremely observant, and watches those that he considers his "subjects", as well as those he wishes to "reform" - Arasoc included.
Patient. Ahon is the type that will tolerate children climbing all over him, but there's always a point at which he takes delinquents and physically carries them away to be scolded or otherwise disciplined.
Experienced. Ahon, a previous delinquent himself, understand the type. He knows the thrill of being the bane of animal control's existence, and he knows exactly where it all ends, after watching a fellow city-wrecker get shot in the head by a police sniper.
Soft. Ahon has a huge heart, and he loves sharing his warmth and space with any that desire it. He has called upon memories of his mother and father before he turned rebel on them, and has expended that so the whole world deserves his kindness.

Likes:
Cliffs. Ahon loves overseeing vast areas. High perches are therefore a highly desirable piece of real estate, and would be quite common, if he weren't a bear. Being too big for buildings or trees, and finding hills inadequate, his favorite place to go to look over 'his' territory is a series of cliffs just outside of the city he once terrorized.
Lakes. Ahon loves the peace and serenity found near lakes, especially near the mouth of a river that flows from the nearby mountain. Here, too, he finds his favorite meal: tiger muskie fish.
Children. Ahon adores the youth, and is happy to shelter them and teach them manners.... as long as they don't get his coat too messy, he's quite the happy babysitter to the forest animals around him.
Rain. Ahon enjoys the rain, thinking of it as nature's way of purifying the land and washing away what evil it can. He finds beauty in most everything that nature throws at him, even if it does become devastating.

Dislikes:
Fire. Fire is too destructive for Ahon's taste. He finds no reason for it to exist, though he accepts it as a form of punishment and dutifully works harder with those that he has taken in.
Rebellion. Despite his history, Ahon dislikes rebels because they are usually rebelling against his doctrines. It does not really please him to see his work thrown back into his face.
Thorn bushes. For a beast with such long hair, thorn bushes and burrs are the banes of his existence. He spends hours trying to get even one out, and he often ends up with many stuck to him at once.
Dead trees. Ahon greatly dislikes dead trees, mainly because one fell during a storm, and hit and killed his mother. He fears them, as well as wishes the humans would take them instead of the fresh, green trees they use to build houses, make fire, and do whatever humans do with the poor logs - Ahon neither knows, nor cares to know.

History/Background:
Short of the long, Ahon was raised by two loving parents until his mother was killed by a falling dead tree. Jaded by the cruelty of nature, he became friends with a group of young bears that habitually raided the nearby human city, causing trouble and mayhem. This abruptly ended, however, when one of Ahon's best friends was shot in the head by a police sniper, and Ahon himself had to leave the body to save his own life. Upon finding himself at the mouth of a tranquil river, he decided to instead dedicating his life to turning around the lives of others.

I am looking to adopt...
Picture:

Kennel number:
P16
Name:
25 Stripes of Grey (Grey)
Breed:
Shetland pony/chincoteague pony cross
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?:
Well,I was immediately taken to him. I love grey horses,this reminded me of a horse I rode once. I really loved her,but she looked like this shade of grey. I think the markings are beautifully done,and look simple enough to draw,which is a characteristic I'm really looking for in a character. As far as what I will do for it, I'll probably create Grey his own thread for all his art and shtuff, and make lots of drawings of him, as well as color in other pictures if I do get Grey.
Personality:
He is very headstrong,determined,and sometimes even called feisty. Grey is almost always keeping himself active with a task or chore. He's definitely not a lazy pony. Grey loves to be a little bit of a trickster sometimes. Usually, he doesn't mind having a rider on his back, he would just prefer to be outside, running around, and not having anyone guiding him.
Likes:
Being active, moving around, radishes, morning exercises, reddish mares, large open areas, foals, jumping, outdoors, mornings and evenings
Dislikes:
Being ridden, sleeping, being bugged by foals, bad riders
History/Background:
Grey was born with the oddest little dots on his mane, and an odd stripe on one of his back legs. Many thought Grey was some sort of donkey, or sheep or something of the sort. Grey, whose full name at birth was 25 Stripes of Grey, was written down by a farmer who loved his two ponies, Mist and Littlest Hoof, very much. And he was indeed a pony.

Grey's mane was a little big longer and thicker than one would have expected, but having a Shetland Pony as a father had effected Grey a little bit more. Grey's mother was Chincoteague Pony, and was quite tall. Grey inherited this trait as well, and the farmer who raised Grey for 3 years of his life, had said Grey was one of the cutest little wonders of the equine world he'd ever seen.

Grey started life as a curious foal. He started to race around quite a bit, and when his mother tried to get him to lay down at night, Grey would often buck. He hated to calm down and do things like eat grass. Often times, Grey would try to get out of the pasture, and succeeded more than once to eat food out of the farmer's patch of vegetables. Grey liked radishes the best out of all the vegetables. The farmer noticed this, and often gave Grey a radish or two.

As Grey grew older, he began to appreciate the farmer much more, and start to have less of his mother's milk. He began to eat flakes of hay the farmer threw into the pasture in the mornings. Grey enjoyed being with the farmer very much. He trusted the kind man, and the farmer trusted Grey.

Grey enjoyed the company of other horses, but his mother and father never wanted to gallop around with him. The farmer noticed this, and one day, another man came with a trailer. Grey pricked his ears up and cantered to the fence. Mist and Little Hoof raised their heads, and pricked their ears as well. The farmer came out of the barn, and walked to the man, talking and shaking his hand. The man opened the trailer, and led a beautiful red filly pony out of the trailer. Grey whinnied to the filly, and the filly looked at him, and whinnied back. The men shook hands once again, and the farmer gave the man what looked like thick pieces of grass to the man with the trailer. The truck and trailer moved away, and the farmer opened the gate while patting the filly. He gently took off her halter, and the filly cantered away, picking up her feet. The farmer smiled with a joy he had never expressed.

The new filly was later name The Queen of Hearts, and was an excellent friend to play with. Grey and Queenie (Queen of Hearts' nickname) got along quite well. The few months they got used to each other where the best months of Grey's life.

At this point in time,I must mention a few changes going on in the horse's lives. Mist and Hoof had been moved to a more restful pasture, and were more often in the barn then outdoors. Grey and Queenie had also changed-they were now yearlings, and turned a year old 2 months and a half apart. The farmer had also started to place pads on their backs, and light saddles. The bridle was also currently being introduced to the young horses, and the farmer was doing it the best he could. Many days a week, boys and girls came to ride Mist and Little Hoof, and Talia, a tall reddish-brown mare who was a great jumper and was a great horse for many riders.

And now,dear reader,I must leave you. Grey's journey has not yet ended, and has only just begun. I'll be telling you a little bit more if I may later on, as we have not gotten to the current part of Grey's life.
