Name:
Benedict

Personality:
Benedict has a tendency to steal, chase, and just be generally mischievous. He tends to steal blue and green things, being it's his favourite colours. He chases small animals, but never harms them, only being the playful jellybean dragon he is! Benedict would never hurt a fly, and is very affectionate to his friends -- shy with strangers. He'll try to look away and make minimal eye contact. He loves history! He could read all day long about history, and often times go searching for prehistoric dinosaur bones, or ancient man made items.

Story:
I am Benedict. The young jellybean dragon thought, as his mother gave him the name. I am not normal. He soon realized, from reactions from other beans. Because of this, he grew up isolated, always searching for a way to keep his minds off things. He soon realized history was amazing... and it would keep him very, very happy.

Benedict trotted along the old trail, the scent of ancient dust and artifacts filling his senses. It was amazing, the only new here things were the plants and animals; most of the plants still reaching the minimal of 50 years old. Suddenly he stopped, peering up at the thousand year old tree. It was huge. It was history! Benedict wondered what this amazing wonder had experienced during it's still living life... if only he could see with his own eyes. But the best he could get was finding the hidden clues hidden around places. He walked along the roots that stuck out of the ground and dug right back into it in some sort of amazing feat and his eyes found something. He ran up to the shard that glittered slightly with the sunlight that peeked through the leaves, and looked; an arrow head. An arrow head that had been very clearly, used to kill... but why?

Benedict could not remove the arrow head, as it was too deep into the ancient bark, forming to the tree. But Benedict could research, something he loved so. After a bit more exploring, he went to a library... looking up the first nations people of the time -- that lived around here.

He found out about a tribe called "Opal Bears" and soon, the history about the site that Benedict had found. What had happened was the Opal Bears were horribly attacked, and the very arrow head Benedict had found was used to slay on the murderous trespasser. So much death... so much horror. Benedict thought, but couldn't keep his eyes off the text.

[if this is too much I'll remove the references to death]

Gender

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Personality
At first glance, you may see Raoul as uninterested, distant, quiet, and independent, though is not entirely the case. He is, to name a few truthful traits, intelligent, laid back, observant, a fast learner, inquisitive, and a critical thinker. He loves to ponder the mysteries of life and try to make sense of others actions without being told what it is they were doing, though he doesn't rely heavily on rumors and suspicions, are his intelligence knows better. Theorize, theorize, theorize; whenever something doesn't add up, make sense, or simply doesn't register in his thought banks, he'll sit and ponder for the longest time on what it means or what it is. His nature, as stated above, is very observant and investigative. He likes to sit back and watch other's actions, learn their personas, get a feel of their emotions, and to understand the beanish social nature without having to actually partake. Because he likes to sit back and watch before actually doing anything, many see him as a boring individual with no interest in others, but also one whom seems to know much more than the average four year old would, adding a hint of mystery to his own aura.

"Just gonna stand there and watch me roar" - Velox

Velox

I want to first say I L-O-V-E dinosaurs, thank you for this amazing bean. Now on to my chosen name, Velox. Velox simply means 'Swift.' It's inspired by the word Velociraptor, which is derived from the words Velox and raptor, velox again meaning swift, raptor meaning 'robber' or 'plunderer'.

I suppose the best way to develop a character is to start from the beginning, for most characters this would only be a few years back, but not for Velox. His story begins a long time ago, 40 millions years to be exact, about 25 million years after the K/T extinction. So let me begin.

Image
|| FROM THE BEGINNING ||
Somewhere on the continent of North America, deeply hidden in the brush, a small brown jellybean shaped egg lay snuggled in a warm nest of dried grass and feathers. The ground vibrates with footsteps, to the untrained ear, these footsteps presumably belong to the eggs parents. But to a creature more adapted to the Cenozoic Era, it is quite obvious who these footsteps belong to, Titanis, a flightless carnivorous bird. This monster most certainly isn't against dining on unguarded eggs. A sharp beak pushes on the shell of the egg, it rolls it over many times, inspecting it's worthiness as a meal. 'Rrrrraaaaassssssssrrrrr' A loud raspy growl followed by a menacing hiss can be heard through the foliage surrounding the nest. And this can be correctly assumed as the parents sound, two large prehistoric jellybean dragons burst through the bushes to challenge the Titanis. In a flurry of feathers and claws a leg is kicked out and an egg knocked out of it's nest. Down a hill the little brown egg did bounce, and into the river it splashed. After quite the journey, the little egg was tossed out of the river, and the durable little thing bumped right over a rocky shore and rolled into a very cozy nest situated next to another jellybean shaped egg of a very different color and pattern. Predictably, a few minutes later, two more prehistoric jellybean dragons walked up to the nest, correctly assumed to be the second eggs parents. "What is this?" A deep fatherly voice rang out in the air around the two little miracles that sat cozy in their makeshift beds. "Oh! Deacon, it's another egg... But how did it get here?" A pretty, higher pitched voice answered the fellow we now know as Deacon, she seems rather excited about the situation. "I don't know. But I suppose we could take care of it, Cenzia..." Deacon answered the female we now know as Cenzia skeptically, "at least until it's parents claim it." He reasoned. But the little brown eggs parents would never find it, and he would then proceed to hatch into a beautiful young jellybean dragon with bright scales and shiny plumage. To be raised by his adopted parents Deacon and Cenzia, and grow up next to his adopted sister Jaylo. From the day he hatched, this little bean would be known as Velox.
Image

|| CHILD HOOD ||
Growing up, it was painfully obvious to everyone, including Velox, that he shared no biological relationship with his adopted parents. But no one could put a damper on the young beans playful spirit, and every day he and his sister Jaylo would create a new adventure. A lot of the time things became dangerous, in such an animal dominated world predators were a constant threat. But some how Velox and his sister would find a way out of each situation, no matter how treacherous. But this is a story of a much less threatening adventure, Velox made me promise to tell it to all of you, and true to my word, here it is.

One perfect morning, the clouds that had haunted the skies for almost a week finally disappeared. The day revealed a bright sun, so warm it quickly dried up the muddy grounds, leaving only a few puddles to brave the heat. Velox, a beautiful brown child bean with an assortment of markings ran along side his equally dashing, sister by chance, Jaylo, a lovely green shaded bean. Finally released from their nest, where they had been confined for the week because of dangerous flood waters, the happy pair sprinted upriver quickly. As they slowed to oh and aw over the damages caused by the long storm, little Velox noticed something new along the river. "Hey! Jaylo look, a tree fell across the river!" He yelled excitedly, and indeed a large oak tree had fallen, bridging the gap between the two sides of the river."Betcha' your to scared to climb across!" He goaded, smirking and running toward the tangle of branches and leaves that littered the riverbed. "Nu-uh!" Answering his challenge, Jaylo followed along, both beans now traipsing across the fast flowing water. But no fear was shown, and quickly they reached the other side and began to explore the area, which, like their own nesting grounds, seemed rather homely and safe. Neither bean felt any fear playing here, and soon came upon something not so unexpected. A nest. The ground around the nest was littered with pieces of egg shell, it seemed something had recently hatched here. Sniffing around, Jaylo was the first to discover the tiny bean that wobbled about on unsteady legs, so newly hatched it was still wet behind the ears. The first thing to be noticed about this bean was the color of it's fur, brown and black, and while neither of the siblings spoke up, it was rather obvious that they shared the same thought. This bean looked like Velox. 'Rrrrraaaaassssssssrrrrr' A sound we've heard before was hissed through the foliage, but this time, as the two familiar adult jellybean dragons burst through the bushes, it was not a fight that followed, but a reunion. A mother remembers everything about her darling children, even before they've hatched from their egg, and this little bean that stood before her was no doubt her child. And what's happier than being reunited with your lost child? Well, being reunited with your lost child and meeting your second, newly hatched child. Both parents teared up to see their lost baby alive and well, but seeing Velox, standing beside his adopted sister, both parents knew he belonged somewhere else. Gently nudging them away from their newly hatched child, a happy farewell was given, and neither parent could have asked for more than just to be able to give a proper goodbye to the child they had never got to meet, until now. Velox and Jaylo didn't tell their parents about the adventure they had, had that day, they didn't even talk to eachother about it. Maybe words weren't able to describe the moment? Or maybe their silence was fueled by the fear that Velox might go to live with his real parents? But despite this happy/sad adventure, the family continued to live happy normal lives, and as the tree bridge was eventually swept away, so was their doubt that Velox belonged any where but where he already was.

"Everything about being a teenager and not feeling like you fit in
is just magnified by being a mutant!"

-Anna Paquin

|| TEENAGE YEARS ||
The teenage years. For most, this is a time of awkwardness, love, emotional turmoil, and self discovery. Of course, things were a bit different for Velox, he was very confident, far from bipolar, and he seemed to think he had always known who he was and who he was going to be. But even Velox wasn't excluded from the beauty and horror of teenage love. Most teenagers find them selves eluded into the false idea of love, of course, this is not all ways true. Sometimes, albeit rarely, two teenagers can fall in love and stay in love up into adult hood. Velox was lucky enough to experience this miracle, if only for a little while. Now on with the story, unlike previously, this will be written in the first person, sort of like writing in a journal. Who better to tell the hardships of Velox's life than Velox?

Hello everyone, I'm Velox. I'm here to give a written version of my story, though it happened millions of years ago it still seems like yesterday to me. Back then things were different, there was no technology, humans were only just emerging, and honestly, life was a lot more free. No laws, no criminals, no collars, no leashes, it was a better place. But don't get me wrong, I still love it here! It's just like an adventure... But sometimes I wish I could see my family, my friends, and most of all my young love Soraya. Well, I guess even if I was back in my time, I probably would never have gotten to see her again anyways. See, I loved her so much I had to let her go. She was a beautiful bean, such bright feathers! I could sit by her all day and do nothing, and be content. But she was a daydreamer, to her, the future was bright, And full of travel! We didn't share the same dreams though, I couldn't leave my family, and she couldn't stay. I suppose you were looking for a more interesting, spectacular story? I'm sorry I couldn't give it too you, when me and Soraya met, we just clicked, but most of our days were spent talking, and looking out over the ocean. She liked to do that, look out over the ocean I mean. She liked to imagine what the world looked like beyond the horizon. I only saw water. We dated for a few months before she decided to leave, she had said her goodbyes to her friends and family. She said goodbye to me last, we walked on the beach one last time before she left, making last promises, and wishing good lucks. I know I'll find love again one day though... It was one of the things I promised her, I promised that I wouldn't wait for her, that I'd find someone and start a family. She knew that was my dream, to stay at home and have a big family. I made her promise that once she got older she'd settle down and find someone to take care of her, and that if anything ever went wrong, she could come back to me no matter what. I guess that's one of the things that haunts me in this life. I hate to think that something might of gone wrong, and she might of come looking for me, just to find me gone. But I know that my family would've taken her in. Heh, especially Jaylo, she had such a big crush on her. She'd kill me if she knew I told anyone that. I think I miss her the most, you can find another love, but a sister can't be replaced. This is the end I guess, if I go on, I'll continue to ramble about things irrelevant to my lost love story. Goodbye everyone, I hope I've give you more enlightenment about my life and the type of bean I am!

|| ADULT HOOD ||
Image

"Forgive me for my mistakes. I'm still a kid learning the responsibility of being an adult."

Velox was 24 years old in this story, in the prime of his life things would take a sudden change. He was a loyal family oriented bean, but age was just a number, and his life as an adult didn't differ much from his life as a child. He was still quite the adventurer, very imaginative, and, sadly, to curious for his own good. And of course, when a curious bean hears about the largest tree in the world, he has to have a look.

So it was that on that day deep in the Crassus Forest, a densely packed woodland, there lay a Cypress tree with the widest trunk known to the mammals who ruled the Cenozoic Era. It just reached 247 feet in girth. Larger than the widest tree known to the modern world today, but sadly man would never remember this wonder of nature, that died after 3,046 years of life. But Velox remembers it well, for it is the reason he is here today, as finally, you learn the story of how he was trapped, and brought to our world.

This giant tree was called Gigas, and it survived many a natural disaster. Storms, fungi, even fire, so who would've thought insects would be it's downfall. A large swarm of wood eating invertebrate decided to attack the very base of the tree, the same day Velox decided to visit the Crassus Forest. Now, when insects attack a tree, it often leads to tree sap, a trees natural defense mechanism. But this particular tree's base was so wide, and this particular swarm of insects so large, that the abundance of sap was almost ludicrous. And while Velox is curious, he isn't particularly perceptive, and as he sprinted through the forest lightheartedly, he was headed straight for the growing pile of sap. His leaped easily over a thick tree root, only to land four footed in a sticky swath of oozing tree resin. It would slowly preserve him, and he would not know life for millions of years. Until humans developed and grew, slowly building the technology capable of bringing him safely out of his Amber tomb.

But that is another story, one you shall' hear very soon.

|| The Modern Tales of a Prehistoric Bean ||
Everything's quiet, so very quiet. I can feel my lungs expanding with air. But I'm not the one breathing, I can't move. My eyes are open, I can feel it, but I can't see. All of a sudden this liquid-y noise fills my ears, and then, there's this sweet touch of wind on the tips of them. It seems that a second has passed since I found myself trapped in that sticky pile of tree sap. Yet, there's this sad lonely filling in the pit of my belly, I know something bad has happened, but I can't put my finger on it. Am I dead? Is this what death is? Being aware, but unable to move, to see. Is my eternity condemned to my thoughts? No wait, I feel something! I can move my ears! They're free! I can feel them! I must still be alive, my family must be trying to save me. I hope they aren't worried, somehow I can still breathe in here, so I must be alright. Woah, wait! I can see! Well, sort of, it's really blurry right now... Ergh! What did they just put in my eyes!? It stings! Oh... Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no. What are those things? They look sort of like the human things I've seen before... But why are the standing on two legs? Don't they usually hunch over? Wait, what are they wearing? And they're holding some weird things... This doesn't feel right. Somethings wrong. I'm starting to feel a sense of dread, but I can't let this hysteria take over. Phew, it seems that they're leaving. Wait, I can turn my neck, they must be helping me. Huh? Where is the sky? The trees? This isn't like any cave I've seen before! What is this place!? 'WooooooooWooooooooo, warning, warning! Creature number 700 is being released! Warning, warning!' Eh, oh god that's loud, what is that? It must be some kind of weird bird! Why is it screeching like that!? I try to stay calm as my surroundings threaten to overwhelm me. Slowly I'm being freed from the tree resin I was trapped in, I don't know how, but it seems to be melting safely off of me. My furs clumped together and sticky, and I'm scared, I don't know what to do! I open my mouth wide to let out a shrill whistle like bark, I'm hoping my family will hear and come to help me. Maybe these humans are- wait, there's another one. It's a female by the looks of it, she seems confused. Maybe she can help me? I throw my head back and let loose a burst of blue flames. I've never seen humans like this, but surely they must interpret this as a sign of distress. Maybe she'll help me?
Maybe she'll help me...

---

That was 5 and half months ago, by now I've learned of my families demise, and seen the evolution of my species today. They aren't much different thankfully, but I can tell they're curious when they look at me. I'm not normal. At least not in this time, but no one treats me badly. Well, some beans I'll admit are a bit argumentative, it seems even 40 million years wasn't long enough to rid the world of sour apples. But I'm not here to write about my new relationships in this world. Don't worry though, you'll get to hear about them soon enough, but right now I'd like to give you a little written piece about my time in the modern world. I'll tell you what I like best, and what I struggle with most, and perhaps you'll learn a bit of my ability to adapt to new environments. I'm terrible at adapting.

---

I suppose I'll start with some explanation of the the day I was set free. You see, scientist apparently discovered me a few years back, and have been studying me! Kind of creepy really, but I understand now that I've seen how the world works now. So, they've been working on a machine to safely resurrect me and then free me from my amber tomb. It worked obviously. The girl, the one who walked in looking confused, that's Cleverify she might be taking me home! I've been at the lab for a while learning how to speak human, and being taught about the changes in the world. I've made a few friends with other peoples JBD's who come to visit me to see how I socialize. They think I'm ready for a real home now, maybe things will be better once I find a loving home!

Anyways, since I've been here, I've noticed something that bothers me... There are a lot of wires, how do people deal with it!? Chargers for everything, headphone wires, cables hanging from T.V.s, even wired telephones! It's ridiculous! Heh, some people find it weird that I hate wires so much, I guess it's one thing I'll never get used to. But there are many more things I do like about this modernized world! I love the food a lot! Fruits are sweet and all, but I thought I would lose it when I first tasted chocolate! Wow, just wow, and cupcakes are amazing as well! And ya' know, sometimes cooking fruits and veggies makes them taste way better! I love to use my fire to heat up broccoli and cheese, talk about delectable!

Well, let's not talk about food right now, I'm starving! Anyways, there are also a lot of fun activities people have come up with! I love watching movies and camping! Something I'd like to try is sky-diving, but some people are skeptical that they would let an animal sky dive. I suppose that's a goal of mine now, sky-diving. I really hope to try it one day, ya' know, if they make parachutes that'd fit me, heh. I mean seriously! What's the point of having feathers if I can fly!? Wow, sorry, I'm just easily excited, just thinking about getting the chance to jump out of a plane one day is awesome! Anyways, that's all I have to say about the modern world for now, I haven't really experienced much yet, being cooped up in this lab. Maybe I'll tell you more when I finally leave!

I must apologize

for not participating in symmetry

But it's been such a struggle

to win entry to this industry

Put simplistically it sickens me

for my lack of contributions

I hope to tighten loose ends

with new sense and end this nuisance.

"Apology for Non-Symmetry" - Chronic Future
|| ELABORATED ||

Personality;;

Passionate - Curious - Adventurous - Loyal - Stubborn - Adaptable - Rebellious - Competitive - Arrogant - Opinionated

Velox is regarded as a very friendly bean. He's well known for his very curious nature, and positive outlook on life. Being a very outgoing bean, he doesn't often turn down an opportunity, which leads to some very interesting and sometimes disastrous adventures. Velox is very social the majority of the time, and loves to have fun with his friends. And while the unique bean is very loyal and compassionate, he also has a stubborn tendency that can bring up a rarer argumentative side when his opinions are brought into question. Sometimes it seems that being brought into the modern world has made his argumentative side a bit more common, maybe because while Velox is a very adaptable soul, he isn't immune to the negative effects of change. This more hot-headed side of him is sometimes prone to a rebellious streak, throwing rules to the road and getting into trouble. But even when he's being rebellious, he's also a bit of a chicken, and could never do anything truly bad for fear of being punished. So moving on from his rebel chicken side, we'll start to delve into his less... like-able side. Velox can sometimes become overly competitive, arrogant, and opinionated. He is very outspoken, which isn't always bad, but sometimes he takes it a bit far. He is very educated in all of his interests, and often starts very heated debates if someone expresses an opinion that opposes his own. Of course he is very aware of his knowledge, and that's were the arrogance comes in, he can be a bit of a braggart, and boosts about his skills as if they were godly. It is also true that Velox is a wee bit competitive, but thankfully he's not a sore-loser. When competing he likes to talk a big game, and usually he puts a lot of effort behind anything he does. But if he loses, he isn't sour or mean, this is when his more friendly side returns to congratulate his competitor and laugh at his own overly competitive nature.

Overall I'd describe Velox's personality as well-rounded, he is a bit prone to succumb to the wishes of his sharp tongue, but he would never leave an argument unresolved. Velox's is full of compassion and empathy, stubbornness and arrogance, and of course a bit of a chicken side. Just like every other living thing on earth, he has his ups and his downs, and he'd even argue that he has more downs than ups. But even if that's true most will agree that Velox has a big heart, capable of the best kinds of friendship.

- Eats his food clockwise around the plate
- Squints a lot

Relationships;;
Saki - Owned by Xanga - X -
If you'd like to meet two beans whose personalities clash, come take a gander at Saki and Velox. Velox is forever flustered with this lady, for she is very hot headed and argumentative. Of course, Velox has a sharp tongue, but he hates to yell at a girl, and often finds himself awkwardly avoiding Saki's company.

Zen - Owned by Xanga - X -
Zen agitates Velox more than any other bean, he is cruel and stubborn and Velox just can't keep quiet when he's around him. Together these two can only argue, but Velox is no fighter and often has to end the dispute as politely as he can to escape Zen's wrath.

Rhnao - Owned by The Lost soul - X -
Velox extremely enjoys Rhano's company. Rhano is quite the goofball, and spent a lot of his life alone in a desert, so Velox can relate to Rhano's problems with etiquette. He likes to ramble on with this lovable bean, feeling very laid back and at home.

Sorbet - Owned by The_Tide_Keeper - X -
Being a big lover of desserts, Velox gets along finely with Sorbet who happens to be a baker. Velox likes to say she's as sweet as the cupcakes she bakes. Velox also enjoys longs chats with Sorbet, although the chats usually involve food, Velox would say he values their friendship more than any cupcake!

Tiberius - Owned by Todd n' Tibs - X -
Tibs is Velox's closest friend, they share a curious and adventurous nature, and both love the outdoors. Velox enjoys listening to some of the intelligent things Tibs has to say, while they lay out and look at the stars. Of course, when Tibs gets to a subject that bores or confuses Velox, he'll end up counting the stars instead of listening. But Velox is grateful for the friendship they share, as it helps him get through the tougher parts of his new life.

Why I want him;;

Yes, it was inevitable that I'd add this section to my form. I'd like you to know what my motives are, this is a special bean, so he deserves the best possible owner. I could perhaps butter you up by repeating over and over that this is my dream bean, but I don't believe that will help me. I think a dream bean is a bean that fits perfectly to a concept you've had for a long time. This bean doesn't go with any past concept I've held on to. When I saw him, the child in me that's secretly obsessed with dinosaurs squealed with excitement, and the author side of me got a whole new idea. Prehistoric, it's easy to work with and you can interpret it in so many ways. He was so perfect, I had never thought of a concept that would work well with a dinosaur bean, because well I never thought there would be one! At least not one as gorgeous as this fellow here. I want him because his design is so unique, and he makes it more fun for me to delve back into my interest of dinosaurs. I want so badly to be able to more actively join the JBD community, but I'm stumped on how to go about it without owning a JBD. I would be so proud for my first bean ever to be a 100 bean, and a dinosaur themed one at that! I know it's going to be very hard to win him, but I'm honored to even be given the chance. Thank you!

What will I do with him;;

If I'm so lucky as to win this extraordinary character, he won't sit around and collect dust. He'll be thrown out there to make as many friendships as possible, developing his character more and more along the way. I'd love to explore the possibilities in all of his relationships through plenty of role plays. maybe even developing a more intimate friend along the way! And he'll never be low on art, I plan on lavishing him with it. Hopefully I'll get better at drawing along the way, as I'll admit his design is difficult, but it's a good challenge for me and I've loved drawing so much art of him! Just know that if I win him, you'll see him around so much you'll be sick of him!

What does he keep in his pouch;;

- Loose Change, he often keeps a handful of coins tucked away in his pouch, for no reason in particular. It isn't a rare sight to see him giving this change to the homeless.
Image

- Engraved Fountain Pen, Velox is entranced with fancy looking things, so a fountain pen engraved with his name in gold was sort of a must. He treasures it dearly and only uses it when he's signing his name.
Image

- Embroidered Handkerchief, apparently Velox likes to have his name on things, the fountain pen inspired him to buy a navy blue handkerchief with his name embroidered in gold. He sometimes runs the smooth silk through his fingers when he's in deep thought.
Image

- Frankenstein, he never leaves home without his treasured book, an old beat up paperback of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. He loves to read it over and over when he has nothing else to do. He's truly entranced with the books humans have created.

I seen a rainbow yesterday

But too many storms have come and gone

Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray

Is it because my life is ten shades of gray

I pray all ten fade away

Seldom praise Him for the sunny days

And like His promise is true

Only my faith can undo

The many chances I blew

To bring my life to anew

Clear blue and unconditional skies

Have dried the tears from my eyes

No more lonely cries.

Role Play Examples;;

Quad -
Scenario;; "Setting is a dark forest, scenario is a campfire and a scream."
Example;;
'Why did I agree to come here?' Passed through Velox's mind for the hundredth time that night, he was sitting with a few close friends around a campfire that illuminated spooky shadows. The beans mind was so preoccupied with finding an excuse to leave that he didn't hear the latest scary story being told. His distracted state wasn't lost upon his friends, and the next thing he knew a loud scream shrieked out behind him. The laws of gravity were breached as he jumped 7 feet in the air with a shriek that would make Russell T Davies seem manly. It seems his friend Tiberius thought it would be funny to take advantage of Velox's inattentive condition, and use it as a chance to really scare him. Of course, Velox likes a good prank, and upon landing back on his feet and realizing what had happened, he couldn't help but roll around laughing. "Tibs! You scared me half to death!" Velox said, smoothing his fur with a paw. His friends joined in with his laughter, and soon the spooky atmosphere had dilapidated, to be replaced with a friendly fun time. 'I guess it's a good thing I came along after all.' Thought Velox, enjoying the night's reconciliation.

Scenario;; "Setting is a cinema, scenario is a lost handbag."
Velox walked to work today. To the greenhouse, it's a three mile walk from his house, but the car was messed up. Thankfully since it's just volunteer work he didn't have to worry about getting hassled for being a little late. But walking that far and then working for 7 hours isn't fun. Upon coming home he took a 2 hour nap, and sometimes, when you've pushed yourself to your limits for no gain, you just get the urge to reward yourself. So Velox decided to go to the movies, the theater was a little crowded, but interacting with other beans was fun for Velox. He bought a ticket to a nice film and bought a big bucket of popcorn and a some candy and went in. A couple of hours passed and the credits started moving up the screen, so Velox stood up with the crowd preparing to exit the room. As he jogged down the stairs he happened to glance down to see a purse laying at the foot of one of the seats. He looked down the stairs to see a female bean chasing after a small child, it seemed she had exited from the same row of seats the purse lay in. Velox grabbed the purse in one hand, and reached out in the direction the woman had run calling, "Miss!" But his words were lost to her as she grabbed the child's hand and exited the room. Velox was jostled back by a passing group of beans and he slowly worked his way down the stairs, purse held tightly in his hand. As he pushed through the double doors, he was pushed back by the female bean as she rushed through the doors, child in tow. Her eyes were watery, as if she was on the verge of tears, and Velox turned and gently grabbed her shoulder before she could go farther into the screening room. "Uh, miss." He said, turning her until she faced him. "Wha-?" She began to ask confused, stopping short when she her eyes fell upon the tall intimidating bean behind her. "I, er, believe this is yours." Velox stammered, holding the purse in her direction. Immediately the woman's eyes lit up joyfully, and then she began to tear up again. "Oh! My purse! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She repeated gratefully, grabbing the purse and then opening her arms to embrace Velox in a surprise bear hug. "Uh..." Velox lifted his hands in surprise and tried to step back before nervously patting the woman's back. Finally she stepped back, her cheeks were streaked with tears. "I don't know what I'd have done if it was stolen, thank you so much!" She sniffled, giving Velox another quick hug and leading her child out of the room. Velox stood for a minute, still a little stunned at how grateful the woman had been. Slowly he was washed with a prideful feeling that put a small smile on his lips. And finally he left the cinema, feeling light in soul and foot.

Interview;;

Hello, I've been asked to interview you. I'll start off simple. What is your name?

"Well... It's odd that you've been sent to interview me but you don't know my name. But it's Velox."

Oh, heh, yeah. Well, Velox, do you have any nicknames?

"Well, I've been called Velo, and V, but Velox is relatively short, so people don't usually use nicknames."

Well, V, hehe, where were you born?

"Uh... Well, you sure do breach sensitive subjects right away. But whatever, I was born somewhere in North America, close to this lab apparently, but I don't recognize anything anymore... Oh, probably because I was born here about 40 million years ago!"

Wow! Really? How is that possible!?

"I was trapped in amber and my body was preserved, and this scientist brought me back to life and freed me."

Well, you get straight to the point! Hmm... Well, where do you go when your angry?

"You like to ask personal questions don't ya'? Well, when I'm angry I usually just lock myself in my room until I cool off. Then I usually feel bad and apologize afterwards."

Wow, for someone who looks so different your not very unique!

"Hey!"

Hehe, kidding, kidding! So, what is your biggest fear?

"To be honest, your kind of getting on my nerves. But I guess that's normal for reporters, huh?

Oh I'm not a reporter!

"What? Then why are you asking me these questions!?"

I felt like it.

"What!? That's kind of creepy, I think I'm gonna-"

JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!

"Ah! Okay, okay! Right now my biggest fear is you, eesh. But anyway, seriously, my biggest fear would be change."

Okay, that's understandable. Now, what is a strong memory that's stuck with you since childhood?

"Wow, that's a good question. I suppose it would be when I first met my biological parents."

Wait, first met them? Do you mean when you hatched?

"Oh, no, no, no. I was adopted!"

Oh, that's nice! Were you happy with your adopted parents, and did you eventually go to live with your real parents?

"Oh I loved my adopted family, to be honest they were my real parents. I felt like I was meant to be with them, so no, I never left to live with my biological family."

Oh, that's sweet. What is your idea of perfect happiness?

"Well, I was perfectly happy when I still had my family, and my girlfriend Soraya. But they're gone now, so I suppose perfect happiness in this world would be finding an all new family. You know, getting a mate and having children."

Aww, your quite the sweetheart! Now, what talent would you most like to have?

"I'd like to be able to sing. You know I sing to myself sometimes and what not, but I'm not very good. It'd be nice to have a good singing voice."

Yeah, lot's of people would love to be able to sing! Okay, now what is a quality you most look for in men or women?

"If you mean romantic wise, I'm most interested in women, and the quality I look for most is intelligence. It's always nice to have a pretty girlfriend, but I'm not just looking for eye candy, I want someone I can talk to and share interests with."

That's smart, don't go for bimbos! What's a trait you most deplore in other people?

"Oh that's easy. That would be when people let there emotions think for them. I can't stand when someones angry and they take it out on everyone around them, or if you love someone, so you agree with everything they say because you don't want to hurt their feelings. But I suppose I don't like it because I'm not very empathetic..."

Oh your not?

"Not particularly, I still have empathy, it's just that I don't like to comfort people over little things. I feel awkward because most of the time I don't truly care, so comforting them feels like lying."

Yes, I suppose it is a bit wrong to comfort someone if you can't really sympathize with them. Well, on to one last topic, what would you say your motto is?

"Ah that's easy! My motto is 'No one is entitled to an ignorant opinion.' It comes from Harlan Ellison's quote "Your not entitled to your opinion, your entitled to your informed opinion, no one is entitled to be ignorant." That's my favorite quote."

I can tell, it seems you've memorized it! That's a smart motto, everyone should know a bit about they're opinions before they have them. Anyways that's all the time I have for now, goodbye!

"Goodbye!"

στιλέτο or Dagger

Image
The name of στιλέτο originated in the land of Greece. Dagger was born in Greece, was raised there and lived there for too many years to remember. In his time he never really had a name, but a human of Greece discovered him and called him στιλέτο, because of his long back claws.

Image
Dag is what everyone calls him, but really he just goes by Dagger.

Image
Male

Image
Dagger was born long ago, before anyone started keeping track of the dates. He was born on a breezy and humid summer morning in July.

Image
His sign is Leo since he was born at the end of July.

Aquaphobia: Fear of water
•I know what you're thinking. Fear of water? He likes fishing though! It's complicated to explain but it's true. He was first afraid of water one day when he saw the first boats of Greece being made. There was also pollution though, which was the downfall. He loved swimming around on hot days though before that. One day he slipped and fell in the water. He panicked and accidentally breathed in some of the water. He nearly drowned that day and he got sick which lasted for a week. He fishes though to be sure. He uses his teeth and a long pointy stick which he stabs the fish with. Fish is still one of his favorite foods.
