Name You'd Choose for It: Caelestis (Lestis for short)
Species/Breed: Flying Fox
Gender: Male
Reason You Want It: The last time I saw him, I totally wanted him and I still do. I simply adore designs with stars and blue in them. I'm just drawn to them and this guy is just gorgeous. I'm still wavering on gender, originally I wanted to make it female, but then I switched to male because something about the character's design struck me as male. X3
History/Background/Other:I am the guardian of the night, I am silence like you've never heard. Quieter than any bird of prey that flies through the air. I fly above the world with grace and dignity, I am both feared and revered by the animals who dwell in my domain. At least I was, until that one night which is still a bit of a blur to me.
I had been doing my normal routine fly over my territory, making sure that everything was in order and no humans were trying to invade and poach there, when my ears picked up the sound of something whistling through the sky. I dismissed it as one of the human airplanes and continued my fly over. I had been glancing over at the human town not far from my forest and was noting that some of the humans were heading off to sleep when it hit me. Hard, fast, heavy, and remorseless, forcing me down to the ground and pinning me there while I lay in an unconscious state.
When at last I came to, I felt so much pain, all over my body, but whatever had crashed into me had vanished. Hesitantly, I got up, it hurt at first, but the more I moved, the more the pain started to ease out of my body. I didn't feel like flying at the moment, so instead I decided to pad over to a pond in my forest so I could get a drink because my throat was so parched. At first I was so focused on drinking that I didn't notice my reflection, but when I paused and saw myself, I almost freaked out.
My eyes weren't brown anymore, they were hetero blue and green and glowed like nothing I had ever seen before, as did my now ice blue nose. Blue stars now lit my fore legs and as I stretched my wings out, I saw that stars now highlighted the tips of each of my feathers as well. Turning myself so I could see my sides and saw that my flanks also had stars.
What the heck happened to me? I thought to myself as I stared at my reflection in the pool of water.
What have I become?Gulping, I continued to stare at myself, eyes wide in disbelief.
I glow. This was not going to help me be stealthy, but surely there had to be a way to make this work for me, right?
Otherwise, I'm going to be the laughing stock of all the animals in my forest. I thought glumly to myself.
