Number: 10
Picture:

Name: Aiano Sunrise
Species: Beryll Wolf

Personailty: He likes to stand in the sunshine to show off his impressive jewels and fur coat. He is a flirt and is often found talking to the ladies. Though he does flirt he does know when enough is enough and won't go past that limit. He has lived a good life as son of his pack's leader but often wonders what is in the outside world.

He can be a loner but not often will he wander off from his family group. He will, however sometime go to the stream on their pack ground by himself. He loves when the group goes hunting; and its his second favorite time of the day, other than sunrise.

He can often be found standing at the top of a cliff looking at the sunrise- thereby earning his namesake. The sun sparkles off his coat, putting the lake's shining surface to shame. He often will get in a bad mood, but with a little time it will go away.

Sunrise is a special Beryll wolf, as he is the only one that can filter magic through his crystals. His magic of choice is white and fire. He often will go hunting alone and use his magic to help him catch his prey by confusing it or frying it with fire.

Likes: He likes to wander off from the group to have some time to himself but he will always come back when he is ready. He likes to practice his magic on his own and will get distressed if someone wants to watch. He doesn't mind company at times but trying to push yourself on him will make him mad and go off by himself. He likes standing in the sun and letting it sparkle over and warm him.

Confusion magic is his favorite type of magic to use in a hunt though he will occasionally use fire if he is feeling particularly sadistic that day. He love a good soak in the river when it gets hotter in the summer.

Dislikes: He does not like to be pushed into having company and will run away if the subject is pushed. He doesn't like to see a member of his group being hurt; the puncishment for doing so is injury or death. He likes using fire magic, but too much heat from a normal source will make him sick, so he really dislikes it and more often then not on hot days, he can be found standing in the shallows to cool off.

Background

All spells are fictional they will not work should you even want to attempt them!

Some of you may know me, some may not, as my legend may or may not spread beyond my lands and the great forest we call time. Once I was the son of the leader of my group, and back then, I was naive of the way the world was. I even wanted to find out what it would be like not to have to follow pack rules. Little did I know that the world was a big and dangerous thing, even for one such as me. But maybe I should start the story when I began thinking of what it would be like to be independent, those very faithful and long years ago....



I ran through the brush after my pack members; we were going on a hunt, and finally I was old enough to go along. I had stayed up half the night, excited about my first hunt, so I was exhausted but I really wanted to impress my other pack members and do well on my first real hunt so I tried my best not to show how tired I really was. My pack stopped at the edge of the great meadow that was just within our borders.

Our trackers scented the air, smelling for any elk that might have wandered near, and we were in luck there was a herd a little upwind of us. We would be able to sneak up on them, no problem. I felt my magic rising to the occasion; it wanted to be used. I wouldn't use it in front of my pack members though, because I didn't like others watching me work it. They already veiwed me as strange for having magic in the first place, let alone practicing with it alone. I defiantly didn't want them to see me as a freak for using it on a hunt, so I would simply quench this other appetite later.

We spotted the herd and, going after the weakest member of the herd and bringing it down, we had our meal. Most of my pack talked to the others while chowing down, but though I was the leader's son I was an outsider and none talked to me, not that I wanted them to anyway. When we got back to camp I would quietly sneak away to practice my magic, but now I would eat because magic took not only practice but energy as well, energy that this food would provide me.

Soon, everyone had eaten their share and we began heading back to camp. This was the time I usually took my leave of the group to go practice. I left our hunting party and went to the cliffs, my favorite part of our territory because you could see the Sunrise from here. I always wondered what it would be like to live on my own, with no rules and none to call me a freak because I was a magic user, I knew unless I decided on my own to leave that I would never know.

'For now though I needed to concentrate.' I thought to myself.

I pictured my magical energies swirling around me, as always they would be yellow, red, blue and green and they would swirl around me in a vortex of colorful light . They would move slowly and around me in a circle looking like many colorful stars. They would burst from my crystals, which served as my power source; this was what made me so unusual.

Soon I was comfortably surrounded with my power; and it wasn't long before I used it.

I began chanting in the ancient Tongue, calling forth physic magic that would lifted tree branches off the ground and fire that would burn those same sticks. At the end of my practice I was exhausted mentally and physically because magic takes a lot out of me.

When I got home, my mother was waiting on me, worried as usual, even though she had nothing to worry about. She knew I always came back, but she always had that nagging feeling that one day I would leave and not come back. Little did she know that I thought about it all the time; If she had know that then she really would have been worried.

I assured her that I was not going to leave her then I went to my den. Unlike the others my den was away from the others because I liked my privacy. I turned in for the night not knowing what tomorrow would bring.

I dreamed that I was in the forest and as usual my powers were floating around me, then they vanished and with them it felt like a part of myself had been ripped away. I howled morning my loss before I heard someone say "This will come to pass if you don't leave your pack behind." I turned and saw another Beryl wolf staring at me. Then I woke up....

The dream plagued my mind for the rest of the day though I didn't know what it meant I did know it had something to do with my magic.

As the week flew by I began to notice a change in my magic; it appeared to be getting weaker, though I didn't know why. I soon recalled my dream and realized that that is what it had meant, and if I stayed with my pack I would loose the magic all together. Thats when I decided I would set out on a journey, one I may never return from.

Name: Russell
Species: chocolate canine
Personality: Russell is usually a loner,but he will protect anyone who wins his heart
Likes: Cherries, whip cream and icecream
Dislikes: Anyone trying to lick him...just cause he looks like chocolate doesnt give people the right to try to see if he tastes good...
Background(Optional, but it gives you a better shot. 2500 words maximum, 100 words minimum. We value quality over quantity, you can have five pages and still say absolutely nothing.

Russell sighed as he looked out into the distance, he was resting on the side of a hill, thinking about what happened that morning.
It started out like it did everyday, he woke up and walked through the forest, letting the wind blow through his fur, when all of a sudden he was pounced...it sent him flying through the air until they both fell into a tree. Shocked he tried to stand up but the one who pounced him was still on top of him...trying to lick his fur...he growled softly to get their attention..the other animal raised its head and looked at him with chocolate eyes, a smile on her lips before she let him stand up "I'm sorry, I just had to see if you tasted as good as you looked" she replied with a twinkle in her eyes. Russell rolled his eyes as he stood up and grumbled softly "well I don't....i wish you guys would just stop pouncing me..." after those words left his lips he walked off..leaving her to watch him disappear into the woods.
Russell shook his head...why do they always do that every time they see him...yes he looks like chocolate but that doesn't mean they always have to try to eat him....girls and their fascination with the stuff...it kind of made him sick to his stomach..that is how it has always been ever since he was little...

Picture:

Name: Ah-da-nv-do "Spirit"
Species: Grey Wolf
Personality:
Ah-da-nv-do is a very sweet wolf. She is highly curious and often playful, she is always caring with all the nature that surrounds her, she is very protective of weak and small animals. She seems to be a very nice wolf, even if she rarely talks (she is deaf) and most of the time she does so she tends to sing cherokee songs. It is unknown how she learned them, but is attached to the fact that she seems to have some gods/godess special protection. AhDaaNvDo is very attached to the birds, They remind her of freedom and so, she likes to wear their feathers. She had a small sister, but when she lost her parents she lost her too. Even if she is timid and cold with humans, she didnt hold grudges to the human who shooted her, she just doesnt want to get hurt anymore
Likes And Dislikes:
AhDaNvDo loves Nature, and she respects every being of the Forest and has many friends of other species than herself. She Loves the Water and the wind, she can play in the river all the day without getting tired or bored, or run in the forest, trying to catch up the playful winds. She dislikes humans, she is deeply scared of them since one hunter made her lost her audition. She is terryfied of fire and death, she lost her parents when she was very young, and it is believed a hunter killed them.

Background:
••
The wind howled carrying the heavy problems of the plain mortal souls, but the sun warmed slightly the hearts of the small Cherokee tribe which lived on the big mountain. A kid woke up he was young but curious, and wished to learn as much of nature as his limited mind let him.

He packed everything he needed to go to the forest and he was very excited. The birds singing seemed louder and prettier than ever, and he whispered softly ,"Today I will get my wyakin."

The tradition dictated that every Native who was soon to reach adulthood should be sent to the forest, with no items more than their own hands and something to carry water. He dressed himself in simple leather clothes and went out of his house. He was very nervous, and tried to calm himself by singing a Cherokee song. This was a very important day and the weather was nice; it wasn't cold but not too hot.

He walked to his grandmother’s house; it was far away from his own. The kids of the tribe stared at him and whispered. It didn't help him to relax. He knew his future depended on that day, and his wyakin should appear or he wouldn't be a Cherokee, or at least a good one.
***
Spirit felt a breeze pushing her to the forest 
"What do you want me to do?" She thought as she followed the wind's directions. The spirits used to talk to her and play with her fur, making her smile and laugh sometimes. She ran after them happily 
"Sing the bird, splash the fish, ran the deer and play with me!" She sang as she played with the playful spirits of the ancestors
***
His grandmother didn't help him either. She was as nervous as he was and gave him an amulet of feathers and a dream-catcher. "How is this going to help me?" He asked, looking at it. "It just will," answered his grandmother. "It always does." the boy looked at the floor for a while, then he realized his Stepfather called him. He greeted him seriously, as always, looked at his grandmother a last time and entered the forest, now he was seriously in...
*****
AhDaNvDo stopped in the river, she looked at her reflection and tried to talk. She remembered some Cherokee songs, but her deafness was starting to make her forget things, and that scared her. She remembered clearly the day she lost her audition, she remembered the tanned pup wich walked in the forest fearless of the hunters. The ones who were there illegally, and were killing as most animals as they could. She looked back, she heard something. A Stampede was forming and she ran along the animals, who were terryfied of the steel bullets that passed near them, too close for most of them. Ahdanvdo fell down, she was tired and terryfied, why was she running? What was happening? Where were Mom and Dad? She couldn't help herself looking at the destruction that surronded her. The burnt trees, the smoke, the bullets, the blood, "why the do this?" she said before summing herself in an eternal silence, the silence one bullet too close, gave her forever...AhDaNvDo woke up from her daydream, she tried to make her brain forget the terrible incident but she couldnt get herself to the fact that they were cruel, and stupid. She wasnt able to forget the pain they caused to the forest and she would never be friendly with one, never again.

But she suddenly heard somthing, she searched for the animal, hoping it would be a bird who fell down of it's nest, or similar. But she just found two humans, looking and touching the water, they opened their mouths and moved their lips. Even them had the possibility of hearing, and she couldn't even hear the less sound of the wind, or the grass growing, and she missed that badly. They took their things and rode one of those metalic monsters they trained. No matter what they were doing, they wouldn't enter again to her forest.
She went to visit her friend, a dove. This one had beautiful pure white feathers and singed happilly all the days. AhDaNvDo remembered sadly went they singed together the happiest songs ever..
The dove was, as she supposed, at her favorite tree, AhDaNvDo was happy she found it easily. She lied at her side, she felt secure with her
****
the boy sighed, he had walked, ran, and climbed all the morning and he still didn't find anything. The sun started to burn his skin, and his arms ached. He decided to go to the river, he needed some water badly. The water helped him clear his mind, he still had all the day but he wanted to go back home as soon as possible, he saw something moving at the other side of the river, a wolf maybe, it had a light brown fur and dove feathers? he had to look closer, so he stand up and went to see better

******
**Still editing the background, the main idea is that he finds Spirit in the forest when he goes to search his wyakin, and he happily thinks Spirit is his guide, but then his granda tells him that he is wrong, that spirit is way older that he was and wasnt a common wolf. Then the boy starts seeing her in dreams, and when he finds her he discovers there was someone contaminating the river´s water, and that was why Spirit called him"

Picture:
Name: Dark Matter
Species: Astral Fox
Personality: Cocky, Vixenish and a bit fiery, you don't want to get on her bad side because...Well, you want to keep all your limbs, right?
Likes: Krafu, The Constellations, Playing with her father sometimes, running, eating good food, relaxing and of course, ruling over lesser wolves
Dislikes: Bullies, Sadists, Snobs, Sluts and perverts, wolves that show off too much, extra work
Background (Optional, but it gives you a better shot. 2500 words maximum, 100 words minimum. We value quality over quantity, you can have five pages and still say absolutely nothing.)

Dark Matter was born to two normal Jackals, who were appalled by what their daughter looked like. They abandoned her in the forest, where she sat waiting to die. Then, Voided Abyss came. He took her in and raised her himself. He also gave her a name: Dark Matter. She gained power over minor constellations, her "father" controlling the rest of the night sky. One day, Dark Matter stepped down from the sky to walk the earth. She went hunting and caught a rabbit easily. Then, a white creature flashed by and stole her catch. Dark Matter was infuriated, and chased after the thief. She caught him and pinned the animal to the ground. It was an arctic fox. "Why did you steal my food?" She asked angrily. "I'm...HUNGRY!" The fox snapped, clearly unaware of his situation, "Who the hell are you?". Dark Matter snarled. The insolence! "I am DARK MATTER, ruler of the night!" She boomed. Krafu rolled his eyes, "Oooh, scary. I am KRAFU, stealer of food." Dark Matter was not pleased by his mocking tone. She clamped his muzzle shut using her own. Krafu struggled, but to no avail. "You have pissed off the wrong person," she hissed, clearly not happy. Krafu whined. She squeezed harder. "I'm shorry! I'm shorry!" He yelped. "Good." Dark Matter let go. Krafu bolted, scared out of his wits. Dark Matter sniffed in disgust and stalked off into the darkening sky. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Void asked. "Hunting. Someone stole my prey, then insulted me. I taught him a lesson," Dark said simply. "OH, ALL RIGHT," Void said. He had a loud deep voice, but it was scarier when he was mad. Dark Matter lied down next to her favorite star and fell asleep. The next morning, Voided Abyss woke her. "THE SOLAR ECLIPSE," He said. Dark Matter nodded and gave a primal howl. Voided Abyss then walked in front of the moon, blocking the world from light. In a few minutes, it was over. This ritual was to show their superiority to the the people of earth. Krafu hated the solar eclipse. The most horrible thing ever happened at that time. Dark Matter stepped down from the sky. Darkness swirled around her like a miasma. Krafu backed up in fear. This, this creature looked like IT had..

Name: Karen
Species: red panda
Personality: Karen is quiet and shy. She is creative and expresses herself in her art and writing. She will choose flight over fight any day.
Likes: peppermints, drawing, writing/typing creative stories, music
Dislikes: loud noises, fights, meanies
Background:
I yawned and opened my bright blue eyes to the early morning sun. Yes... most of my relatives are nocturnal, but more people come to visit during the day than the night, you know? I can also have access to my favorite treat from my keeper, the peppermint! I looked around and noticed the chain-link fence that had enclosed my home for as long as I can remember. As I got to my paws and started to amble around my cage, the door in the back opened and the nice lady who takes care of me walked in. I squealed with joy, this meant breakfast!!! I stood under her feet as she lay out the assortment of bamboo, berries, and other delicacies that I had every day.
She stepped back, and when I didn't dig in, she laughed and dug around in her pocket, producing the lovely red and white candy that I loved so much! She bent down and handed me the treat, which I took gratefully. She smiled, then walked out of the cage, leaving me on my own to watch the hundreds of zoo guests walk by and watch me "do my thing".
After gnawing on my peppermint for a while, and finishing it, I decided to get to the other, boring food. It is usually now when the people start to arrive and say hi. I usually try my best to entertain them, especially on my good days. However, when I am eating, I admit I can get pretty boring... I started to hear the mixture of voices, some male, some female, some young, some old, and even some foreign.
Many people came by my cage, pointing and laughing at my foolish antics: climbing a tree, almost falling, rolling around with the large ball that the keepers have so generously provided, and just eating the bamboo I save for throughout the day. Suddenly, that day changed the rest of the zoo days. My keeper walked in with a kennel, and the people outside the habitat watched intently. I wondered what was going on. I had just gone to the veterinarian to get my shots... I didn't feel sick, and I have been a good little red panda, so why was the kennel here? I stayed far away from it, but the keeper didn't come close to me. So I just watched. Then I realized it, there was another panda in the kennel. Apparently we were supposed to be "friends."
As the new-comer ventured into my home for the first time, his eyes were huge and he looked scared and lost. My keeper sat on a rock to make sure we didn't get into a fight. I didn't think we would, as long as he didn't take my peppermint! The male walked up to me curiously, he looked nice at first, but then he spoke. His voice sounded mean alone... and they way he moved just made him look like he thought he owned the place already! "And you are???" He asked. I just stared at him, "I'm Karen... who. are. you.?" He snorted, "Rocky... why are you here?" I was slightly shocked, but answered with an even tone, not wanting to make this dude mad, "Well... this is my home." Rocky snorted again, " Your home? No... this is my home." It didn't sound like he was suggesting it either.
•••
For a few hours, we kept our distance. I played in the small stream on one side, he lounged in a tree shooting glares like daggers at me. I tried to ignore it, but you can feel a stare like his burning your pelt. Don't you know that feeling? Eventually, the sun started to set and the zoo guests started to die down. Our keeper had left and she was now coming back with our food. She lay it out then sat to watch, to make sure we don't fight again. I went right up to her for my peppermint and she gave it to me. As I started to gnaw on it, Rocky dug into dinner. I figured he wouldn't eat it all and would leave some for me... but boy was I wrong! As I finished my peppermint, the pig had eaten everything but a lousy bamboo leave that wasn't even good! Fortunately, the keeper came back with more for me and I ate my fill of that.
This other red panda drove me insane. He took the best sleeping spot and ate all my food. He bullied me into doing what he wanted. I disliked him so much, I dare to say I even hated him! My first instinct was to flee when he went for my peppermint. He snarled at me, "You seem to enjoy those. So I'm thinking I'll enjoy them even more!" He went to snatch it from me. I assure you, I did not want to fight him. I hate fighting... but I had to. The peppermint was just one thing I needed for myself, something he couldn't take from me. As he reached out for it, I nipped him, which sent him flying back in shock. For a moment, I even saw some fear and confusion. No... he wasn't going to bully me anymore, I decided right then. As he tried again, I did the same thing, when eventually he sulked off, feeling lousy and defeated....
I had beaten Rocky, and it made me feel very good. Now take in mind, he did try to get away with things, but I did put him straight. I still regret the things I did to him, but he is not as bad now... and I feel that I was the one who changed him. Hopefully I don't have to get into a big fight with him in the future!
