Yes you can have more art or story as your extra.
There's not a specific limit on it, but keep in mind I can't stand text walls, so keep it down under the 700 word range if you can. Going over will be forgiven, but yeah.

Look through my eyes:
The wet, cool stone jabbed into my side as I leaned slightly into the cave's
opening edge, breathing in the fresh smell of salt and greenery. The forest
wasn't far, but it was a bit of a strenuous journey to get there, having to
walk on a tight edge of slippery rock that wraps around the cave. I love the
ocean, but the forest had a sort of calling to it; the way it felt when I held
my held my breath, and my lungs pull me towards the clean, cold air.
It's nice to feel like you have no decisions to make once in a while, but I'm
a big boy, and I have a big family to take care of, even if i'm not the oldest.
But. . . It looks like Makua's got a good hand on everyone right now, so he
shouldn't mind me leaving for a bit.. My paw slips into my pouch for a
moment, checking for my field journal, and feeling the slightly water damaged
leather against my paw, soothing and familiar. It was a way of helping record
things that aren't so permanent, making them lasting in a pen on paper sort of
way. The forest helps too sometimes. And that's just where I intended to go.

I can't remember that dawn very well, it's blurred around the edges, and the exact
happenings are a bit fuzzy, but it's still there, one of the earliest memories to date,
and one of the most prominent.

When I was a child, and still covered in the downy soft baby fluff, innocence was
ripped away from me then, as my mother had to leave me due to being unprepared.
I don't detest her, or loathe her for doing so. If anything, I respect my mother, for
having the will power to give me up.

Momma had set me down under a bush, giving me one of her little plastic leis. She
made these for a living, due to her Hawaiian heritage, and she would sell them
around our neighborhood, back in Australia. I can only vaguely remember how
bright the colors were, and that was it. And then she kissed my forehead
before running off with an "i'll be right back" So, like the good little boy I was,
I waited.
And I waited. .
And I waited some more. . .
Until I finally decided she wasn't going to be 'right back'.

I remember crying like a child, the ugly sobs and tears sending me into a fit
where I would just hold that little necklace, until I eventually, fell asleep.

Now this part I remember better than anything; It was the moment I met the
most terrifying being, where I met the person I now look up to. He was looking
down at me, his large, face peering in through the leaves to find out what
this little sobbing bundle of bush could be hiding. I remember his eyes. Bright.
Red. Slitted. Terrifying. But yet so curious and oddly innocent at the very same
time. I remember being cooed into calming down, being held in his large pouch
as he carried me to the place I now call home. I remember falling asleep with
my flowers, and with this large bean looming over me. He's something different
than the outside, and still is. No matter what he makes you believe.


By the time I was done reliving it, I was in the forest, the green foliage above
me making the light turn green and drift down like being in slow moving, jade
water. I settle under a large bush, it's branches wrapping around me like a
tree, and leaving room in the middle. I brought out my journal, it's water
damaged leather digging into my paws and leaving me by myself, and the familiar
leather. I let myself breathe in a sigh of relief, the calamity of my family drifting
away for this one moment as I leaned back into the bush's large branches,
enjoying the jade colored peace.

Ohana Close-up

In the position of the family cave, I've imagined it in more of a tropical,
watery scene. Perhaps Hawaii, or Fiji; explaining the water that flows
through the cave, as well as the spray near the mouth of the cave.
You see Ohana sitting amungst the Stalagmites, his tail hanging in one
of the frigid little rivers.


Extra:
Field Journal
[This is a journal where Ohana tends to record things he thinks are important - family
relationships, what he discovers, what he likes/dislikes]

Favourite foods | | Nectar, pollen and native fruits [LOVES Eucalyptus]

Absolutely terrified of | | eagles, goannas, snakes, and crocodiles.

Always covered in pollen, from feeding

Ohana tends to visit woodlands when he needs to think, or when his
siblings get a little too bothersome. But, he can never stay away for long,
he loves all his family members, and though he would like to explore the
woodlands forever, he gets sort of homesick. . .And then he rushes back
home and wrestles with all his brothers and sisters. He loves 'em, and
their cave, and he can't help but enjoy it while he still can. <3

Most common place to be found | | In his family's cave. Though he does
go out sometimes, to the woodlands, his visits are few and far between.
He loves the dim lighting in the cave, the way it shines blue during the
daylight hours, and the peaceful air it has to it when all his siblings are
asleep. He tends to reside near the mouth of their cave, watching as the
bright white light shines in through it's opening, and the as the blue, blue
waves crash below close to the cave, some water trickling in to make
shallow rivers on the cave floor. Though, if he absolutely had to pick just
one favourite thing he had about his family's cave, it would be the way his
family is so close. He adores each and every one, having a different
relationship with each member, yes, but a tight bond none the less. And
he can't ever imagine leaving them, ever.

Favourite Sibling | | Liliac [ElementStar's tryoutfor #605]

Role Model | | His father, the great big bat of them all. <3
[#600]

Native to | | Australia [Before his father found him, as a small bean,
and took him in]

Bigger than most teens his age | | Great Dane sized, or early adult sized.

Has pet grey-headed flying fox | | Charcoal [coal]
He adores this thing, and found the little scrap hiding in his bush one day,
hungry and crying, and undersized for the type of bat he was. So, with
Ohana's Natural sort of care kicking in, he took the little thing, giving him
some fruit and some eucalyptus leaves, thinking they were good enough
for anyone to eat, and carried him back home, in his pouch. No one seemed
to notice, or just not care enough to kick the cute little thing out, so he stayed
and he's known to Ipo as 'crybaby', due to his loud whining when he bothers Ohana
for food, since he's too lazy to fly and get it himself.
Can you say baby bat?

Always seems to have dirt under his claws. . .

Sleeps upside down, on one of the cave's stalactites like most of his family
members. Bad habit. . . As well as Coal, but he just sleeps in Ohana's
pouch, curled up and comfy in the fur, making Ohana do all the upside down
work.

Commonly called | | 'Nuisance' by most siblings. Oh, or Ipo by friends.

Favourite part about himself | | HIS HAIR. Oh my god, he's obsessed with it.
He flops the small bit of fluff about whenever he can, looks up at it, plays with
it. He especially loves when his younger sisters style it. He finds it not only
adorable, but quite stylish at times, as well.

Family Section | |
Makua [father] [#600]

" Me and father have a fairly good understanding of each other. I mean, he may
look a bit frightening at first glance, but he has a heart big enough to take
care of the all of us, and take in a scroungey little child who's mother couldn't
take care of him anymore. I just. . .Even though he's not a biological father, I
value him as a person more than anyone, he has to be my greatest role model,
I can't think of a better person to aim to be. "

Kaina [younger sibling] [Fondu - #602]

" He's quite the brother, I mean, he's great to get along with, minus the few
tantrums that erupt out of him at times, of course. I would have to say that
he's my favourite in means of wrestling buddies, and I'm just a bit bigger than
him, so I never cause too much damage. I'd never want to hurt a sibling! Well
. . .That may be a partial lie, but mostly true none the less. "

Kaina [younger sibling] [Patcha - #606]

" Oh my lord. Are Patcha and Puffle twins? Seriously, I'm surprised they haven't
teamed up and taken over the world! Though, Patcha's a bit clumsier than
Puff-ball, he tends to trip over 'mites and tails a lot, usually resulting in me,
or another sibling, or mostly Father catching him. Though it can be funny, I'm
usually watching him to make sure he's okay. "

Kaikaina [younger brother] [puffle]

" THIS. LITTLE. DUDE. Seriously, he's just a big ball of energy; always laughing,
hanging of something or someone, always making me laugh. I adore the little
dude, and his antics sometimes, even if he's terrorizing the cave with his
squeals and staticy, fuzzy fur. He's shocked my more than once, and it was not
pleasant. . . And on to his 'off mode', It worries me a bit sometimes. He can
go from bouncing, to staring off into a distance. A little worrying at times, It
can be. "

Kaikaina [younger sister] [Liliac - #605]

" eeee, my little Lili. I adoree my little sister, maybe a little more than everyone
else, but only a little! Don't tell the others. . .But, continuing! She's just a great
big cuddle bear, sweet, and innocent, the perfect little girl. Though, she can
have a devious side, the sneaky little thing playing a few pranks, or other things
on the family. But who could blame such a cute face? "

Kaikua'ana [older sibling] [Sparrow - #604]

" Sparrow and me kind of have a silent sort of relationship, due to his lack of words.
And, though some of our siblings tend to pick on him about his ears, I find them
pretty cool, actually, I don't find anything wrong with them. Besides, we all need
someone to lean on, and I like to be there for all my siblings, and being there for
Sparrow when words can't fill a distance is fine by me. "

Kaikua'ana [older sibling] [#603]

" I don't really talk to my older sibling much. . .They kind of scare me, and I know
it's a shame to say it, but they do. I guess it's cause they're older than me, or
perhaps it's because they have better relationships with our siblings and father.
I can't quite place it, but I appreciate their company either way. I plan on getting
to know them better, and overcoming my irrational fear. "

╔═════════════════════════╗
Rangers - A Fine Frenzy
The paths have been crossed
The crumbs are gone and the way, and the way is lost
Melancholy phantoms eye our skins
Poison apples falling with the wind

Hear the sigh of the trees
Those who enter here never leave

And the rangers stream out of their cabins
They are the hunters
We are the rabbits
Maybe we don't want to be found
Maybe we don't want to be found

Further in and on we go
Sightless creatures tugging at our clothes
Cutting through the twilight, sword in hand
Strangers once united against the land

At the sound of the bells
they're pulling paper lanterns from their shelves

The rangers stream out of their cabins
They are the hunters and we are the rabbits
Maybe we don't want to be found
Maybe we don't want you tracking us down

The rangers stream out of their cabins
Raising their muskets
Flashing their badges
Maybe we don't want to be found
Maybe we don't want to be found

They keep hiding a quiet like
They'll keep sneaking
But they won't find us
They'll keep living a quiet life
You and I
You and I

The ranger scream out of their cabins
They are the hunters,
We are the rabbits
Maybe we don't want to be found
Maybe we don't want you tracking us down
The rangers stream out of their cabins
Raising their muskets,
Flashing their badges
Maybe we don't want to be found
Maybe we don't want to be found

This bean would be called Pteropus Poliocephalus. <3
It's the scientific name of the Grey-Headed Flying Fox~

ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ;;

Ptero is a very quiet and shy bean who really doesn't like
being around anyone besides his family. He normally feels
very isolated from everyone due to the fact he is adopted,
and is left out of family activities on an everyday basis. If
out in public, Pteropus will act extremely polite and not show
his shy side. He thinks it will make others like him more.
Even though he hates it when his family ignores him, he does
enjoy being around his little sibling more than the others.
The two play together, and his sibling is always the one to
comfort him when he gets upset with his family. Ptero is
a tiny bit of a bookworm, and loves to settle down with
his younger siblings and read to them classic novels that
they may not be familiar with. Though, most of the time,
they'd rather be off playing than listening to 'boring' books.

═══════════✯═══════════
✯ This Teen's name is CalliBarra, or C.B.
Why he was named this is unknown.
Maybe it had to do with its simularities
to the word caliber which means the
quality of someone's character or the
level of some one's ability. Or maybe its
from the name Calli, which means 'from
the forest' in Irish/Gaelic, or 'Lark' in
English, and the name Barra, which is
Gaelic for 'Spear', which makes it mean
'Forest Spear' or 'Lark Spear'. Either way,
it's a combative, fitting name for him.

✯ C.B. is a proud big brother, and therefore
a proud male. He doesn't exactly look like
a female, but with others, it's tough to tell
at first sight. He's very willing and quick to
prove his masculinity. Even so, he won't be
furious if you get his sex or gender wrong at
first sight, he will correct you swiftly however.
