Name:
Iyapo
ee-YAH-po

In the African language; Iyapo means "many trials."
The same seems very fitting for him; I plan to find a way to work it into his past.

Gender:
Male

If I am granted this gorgeus creature; I do not plan to simply put him on a post in a character thread and forget about him. Instead; I would make Iyapo his own website; one where he would be lavished with art and short stories. In addition to this; I am an author, a writer of books. I am working on getting my first published; and I have many more to follow. I've gotten what may turn out to be an excellent book idea for Iyapo; just as I have a personality and a past for him already figured out. I wish to take him from the screens of computers, and introduce him to the world of ink and paper that I know so well.

Thank for for this opportunity; I've been hoping to adopt one of your wild dogs for a while. Iyapo has been the first that I've truly connected with. I can promise that he'll be cherished and loved; not just as a computer image; but as one of my beloved book characters.

Number: #3.
Name: Medusa.
Gender: Female.


Medusa's story goes as such:
She was born as an astoundingly beautiful doe with passionate eyes strangers would be envious of and a personality that saturated suitors to her side. She served as a priestess to her goddess and did so willingly and cheerfully; she believed that the patron she followed would be her guardian in even the cruelest of times.
But there was a god on the mountain above that studied Medusa with entranced eyes. He was the powerful god of the sea and when he walked down to earth one fateful night to meet this girl he had followed from his murky depths, he was disappointed. Not in her physical beauty and nor in her emotional states, but in the mere fact that she ignored his advances and kept diligently to her career as the virgin priestess.
It was of this night that Poseidon took her anyway, and did so within her goddess' temple; when Medusa prayed for strength and help from her guardian, all she got was empty echoes. But Athena, up ahead and enraged by what she saw as a betrayal, cursed Medusa with the head of snakes and sight that would turn men to stone.
But this is where her own personal story deviates from the mythology she was named after. She did not receive mystical powers from this so-called merciful goddess; the mane that framed her face did not bleed into gruesome serpents. All was taken metaphorically here; a sharp, calculating grace turned her once merry eyes into frigid gemstones, and the searing gaze that supposedly turned men into stone was merely a play on words; it was only the depthless cruelty behind her eyes that drove off the suitors who once stalked her.


[If I do get Medusa, I plan to always bring her 'sons' into play. In ancient myths Medusa became pregnant with Poseidon and when she was beheaded she bore to the earth Pegasus, the winged stallion, and Chrysaor, the golden boar. Of course, they won't actually be her children and will be a little more realistic. xD If I do get Medusa though, I will bring both in and have them as something she merely adopted as orphans; perhaps Pegasus was an albino antelope with odd smears of markings along his shoulders like delicate wings and Chrysaor a wild boar with a genetic disorder that caused his fur to look oddly metallic. Thank you for this chance to perhaps play out a story and work on this; I'm excited to see if I get her and can go ahead with all of the ideas I have. 8D Thanks again!]
