Thanks, Lioness626. x3 I think it's cute <3 I added it up.
poptart, I've noticed your form doesn't have the code word. Please add it if you want it to be judged when the code drop comes around ^^
Username:. Green Arrow
Kennel Number:. #315
Use:. As of lately, I've taken a strong dislike to drawing.
I don'tknow if it's temporary or what, but it's unlikely
I'll draw him. However, I will certainly order art of him,
and I'll write about him a lot. I'll make him a nice big post
in my character thread once it's up and running, and find
him a mate maybe. Possibly.
I want to make up a whole universe for him to star in,
involving some of my other characters. I'm fond of
the mental image of him being a loveable space criminal
with a cocky attitude and a heart of gold.
In stories it's most likely that he'll be an anthro, because
he'll need opposable thumbs for his work. But for art he'd
get equal amounts of feral and anthro pieces.
- About the character -
Name:. Gallifrey.
[I chose this name because I wanted a name that had something to do with space. I wanted to name him after a planet, but none of the planets in our universe seemed to fit.]
Gender:. Male.
Age:. Young adult.
Sexuality:. He's pansexual.
Marital status:. Single.
Species/breed:. Canine [Some sort of wolf, WIP]
Personality:.
:: Cocky ::
Frey constantly walks the line between confident and cocky, and more often than not he falls on the latter side. This trait tends to stir up a strong sense of aggravation in people, but it's also the same boldness that draws people to him. His devil-may-care attitude is the exact type of behaviour that reels people in and drags them along for the ride.
Gallifrey has a rather swollen ego, and he greatly enjoys getting it stroked. He eats up any and all positive attention and basks in praise. He's also fond of placing himself on a pedestal, which often grates on people's nerves.
However, despite his inflated opinion of himself, he is very affectionate and warm.
---Buzzard carried a look of great distress as he paced into the room. "The Commander wishes to meet you." He said, managing to sound as if each word caused him physical pain.
"Me?" Frey said automatically. "Why?"
"I don't know, maybe he wants to interrogate you." Buzzard snarked sarcastically.
Frey blinked. "How does he even know about me?"
"I was telling him about the investigation and how I was getting help from one of the galaxy's more successful thieves-" Frey preened at the compliment "-and he asked me about you."
Frey looked slightly wary. "What specifically did you tell him?" He might have Buzzard's word that he had legal immunity until the investigation closed, but he remained distrustful of Buzzard's superior officers.
"About how much you knew about this master thief-"
"And my handsomeness?"
"-And what information you can get us-"
"And my fine-boned features?"
"-And how you have a network, so to speak, of contacts with the resources we need." Buzzard ploughed on with a dogged determination.
"Did you mention my stunning good looks?" Gallifrey asked, rephrasing the question for the third time.
"I mentioned arrogant," Buzzard snapped.
Frey smirked. "It's not bragging if it's true."
Buzzard looked incredulous. "Yes, it is."
Frey shrugged, unconcerned. "It is true though," he said confidently.
"Yes, you're the fairest maiden in the land." Buzzard seemed to live in a state of exasperation. He needed to lighten up.
"You're just jealous of my sparkling self confidence." Frey asserted.
Buzzard narrowed his eyes. "That's not quite the wording I would use."
"Jealous." Frey hissed.
Buzzard looked perilously close to assaulting Frey. "If you're quite done, the Commander would like to see you now."
Frey peered down at his practical but undeniably scruffy clothes. "Am I dressed suitably to meet a Commander?" He asked.
Buzzard sniffed disdainfully as he looked at Frey's attire. "No. Do you have any formal clothes?"
Frey thought about the suit lying crumpled at the back of his closet. If he mentioned it, Buzzard would probably make him retrieve and press it. "Nope." He said cheerfully.
Buzzard audibly sniffed again. "I suppose you'll do. Come on."
:: Inquisitive ::
'Inquisitive' is a much kinder word to describe Gallifrey than 'nosy'. But the truth is, he's a bit of a busybody. He makes it his business to know everyone else's business. It's not even for gossiping purposes, although he does partake in that on occasion. He just enjoys knowing everybody's secrets. Even if he knows be shouldn't, and he's fully aware that there could be dangerous consequences, he always wanders into places and situations which catch his interest and pique his curiosity. This almost never ends well, but he's never been good at denying himself anything. If he were a journalist or something similar, this trait might be useful, but in his current status as a thief and occasional smuggler, it only ever leads to trouble.
---"Wait here. Do not touch anything. Don't steal anything. In fact, don't even move." Buzzard steered Frey into a room which seemed rather unnecessarily extravagant for a room in a building which belonged to keepers of the law. Glass cases ran along three of the walls, filled with ridiculous little trinkets, which were labelled. Hefty looking locks were at either side of each case, but Frey noted with a little thrill of smugness that he'd picked locks like that before, and could easily do so again if the mood took him.
Two suspiciously informal leather sofas sat in the middle of the room, on top of a plush white rug.
Buzzard had Frey's shoulder in a painfully tight grip as he forced him to sit down. The leather squeaked uncomfortably beneath him, and he made a face.
"I feel the need to repeat myself-do not touch anything. Don't leave this sofa unless someone explicitly tells you to get up." Buzzard stressed.
"Yeah, yeah, keep my filthy paws to myself, yada yada." Frey muttered, petulant.
"The Commander should be along in a few minutes. Answer his questions truthfully, don't make jokes, and don't speak unless you're spoken to first." Buzzard sounded jittery. Perfectly understandable, of course. Gallifrey had shown on multiple occasions that he was out of his element in a professional environment, and there was every chance that he was going to mess this up.
"Relax. I got this." Gallifrey said with false confidence, doing his best to be reassuring.
Buzzard cast him one more distrustful glance before he left the room, very deliberately leaving the door wide open.
"Don't think I don't know that you're leaving the door open to discourage me from snooping!" Frey called after him. He waited a few moments until he was certain Buzzard had gone, then he was on his feet and peering into the nearest glass case. It displayed several delicate looking tiaras, which, while fetching, were slightly dented and rather battered looking. Spoils of cases, maybe? Frey lamented the fact that they could sell for a pretty price at any respectable marketplace, and instead they were sat here, gathering dust.
Their labels were small, with cramped handwriting that Frey couldn't make out, despite almost having his nose against the glass. Curiosity rolled over him in a wave, and he looked back towards the door. No angry Commander strode through, hollering about how Frey had left smears on the glass. So he sidled over to the closest lock. He didn't have his handy little lockpicking kit with him, which really was a shame because he usually took it everywhere. But on a close inspection of his pockets, he produced a misshapen paperclip, which he waved triumphantly before making quick work of the lock. It opened with a very satisfying click. Frey briefly considered the idea of a silent alarm being triggered, before dismissing the notion. Law keepers were generally full of themselves. They held themselves on such a high pedestal that they rarely took security precautions for anything which wasn't top secret and incredibly important. Anyway, Gallifrey wasn't going to steal anything. He just wanted to read the label on the tiara and then promptly put it back, no harm done.
He had just lifted the nearest tiara and brought it close to his nose to scrutinise the scribbles when the sound of the door closing alerted him to someone else's presence.
"And what do you think you're doing?" An amused voice drawled.
:: Charming ::
Gallifrey has managed to charm his way out of many bad situations over the years. He's also managed to charm himself into nice things, like possessions and valuables.
He learned at a young age that playing up his innocence and vulnerability would net him nice things, especially from females. This has stayed with him into adulthood, and he uses his charm to get his way whenever the opportunity arises.
When he's romantically interested in someone, being able to sweet talk them is pleasant, but he doesn't really date much.
Gallifrey's every syllable flirts. He can't help it. It's just his way of speaking and his natural warm approach when speaking to people. Unfortunately this has lead to some rather awkward 'I thought you were interested in me' moments, which make him cringe and feel guilty and want to run away.
---Gallifrey winced, turning to face the Commander. "I wasn't stealing-" he began, then stopped, gaping rather rudely at the Commander. He was of a species Frey had never encountered before, and wasn't that fascinating? He was tall, with a cobalt skin which was cracked and looked like it had the texture of tree bark. He had vaguely reptilian golden eyes, which glittered with intelligence, a noticeable lack of a three dimensional nose, and a wide mouth with forcibly reminded Frey of an amphibian. A tail, more or less the length of Frey's height, curled around the Commander's leg, and Frey eyed it suspiciously. He wasn't fond of prehensile tails.
"I see." The Commander didn't sound convinced.
Frey scowled. "Where would I hide it? I don't have my satchel. Or big pockets."
The Commander was clearly too disciplined to shrug, but he managed to give the impression that he was making a nonverbal gesture of doubt.
"I was going to read the label." Frey said defensively.
The Commander didn't respond. "Come, sit." He inclined his head towards the sofas.
Frey briefly hesitated. He very much wanted to read the labels, but he sensed the Commander would be displeased if he ignored his thinly veiled order, even for a second. He was already on precarious ground, what with working with the law enforcers while being a criminal himself. Reluctantly, he placed the tiara back inside the case and closed the door. He deliberately left the lock, distantly hoping to return to his snooping later, but the Commander was following his every move, and he suspected he wouldn't be left alone in the building again.
Frey settled himself on one of the sofas and the Commander sat on the other. He steepled his fingers and rested his elbows on his knees, in turn resting his chin on his fingertips. Frey was a little unnerved at the silence and evaluating stare he was on the receiving end of, and he cleared his throat nervously.
WIP
:: Outspoken ::
Gallifrey is always willing to share his opinions and views, whether or not he's been invited to do so. If something goes against his moral code he'll speak up, regardless of the consequences. He may be a thief, but he has a strong sense of what's right and wrong when it comes to living beings. He refuses to murder or maim unless it's in self defense, and he would never harm a child, despite being tempted often by aggravating teenagers. For this reason, Frey has turned down many well paying jobs in order to avoid going against his own principles. It's earned him enemies, but it's also earned him friends and allies. Many a mother has been grateful to him for rescuing their child from danger or law breaking.
---Example of trait in action
:: Intelligent ::
Intelligence doesn't always equal knowledge. Not the kind from books, anyway. Sometimes Gallifrey comes real close to being caught when he's stealing something big, and he has to think on his feet. He'll have seconds to think of an escape or a hiding place, and then he's got to follow through on that idea before someone sees him.
Frey has to make impulsive, calculated decisions a lot, which requires a certain amount of intellect. He also needs to plan out his jobs. When someone hires him to steal something, they give him very limited information- what it is, and its approximate location. He has to find the rest out himself. Then he has to go through the painstaking process of mapping the place out, then visiting the place to check out the security and whether he'll have to take extra measures to remain unseen. If he were dumb, he wouldn't be able to pull off heists. Thievery isn't a field which allows for mistakes.

Physical qualities:.
Height: 85cm [ground to withers]
Weight: 72kg [158.7lbs]
Description: Gallifrey is tall and muscular, in a lean way. He's not interested in gaining size at all. He likes being flexible and having the ability to outstrip pursuers. He isn't much of a fighter at all, so he really has no reason to be bulky.
Who doesn't love adventures? I love exploring. That's why I do what I do. The thievery is just an added bonus.
What was that saying? Speech is silver; silence is golden? I totally agree. Just me and my thoughts. That sounds kind of pretentious. I just like being by myself a lot. Although for someone who says he likes the quiet, I sure do talk a lot. I guess what I'm saying is I like silence when I'm not in a social mood.
I spent a lot of time as a kid, uh, borrowing ships and teaching myself to fly them and as a result I'm pretty good at piloting. Not to toot my own horn, of course. *coughs*
I always get the most amazing rush after being chased around by law enforcers. Most times I get away, 'cause my ship was made by one of the best(if unscrupulous) builders I've ever met. But sometimes I get real close to being caught, and it makes my heart beat faster than anything, and when I'm in the clear it's just the most awesome feeling.
My dad loved riddles. Still does, I'd imagine. I haven't seen him in years. We used to spend hours swapping riddles. They're some of my fondest memories.
I don't know why I like them. They just look so cool. I used to have like 5, but they've all been lost or wrecked. I left my favourite one on the last planet I docked on. I'm still bitter.
No species ever progresses too much to appreciate a good ol' cup of Joe. Am I right?
I mean, hardly anyone likes being cold, but I can't stand feeling chilly. Give me overheating any day. My ship's always warm.
Keep your illness to yourself and don't get it all over me.
I hate it. I hate all the preparation I need to put into it, and the time it takes, and I hate how easy it is to ruin a meal. Virtually all the food I eat is canned.
I'm smart. I'm just not booksmart. I've been looked down on a lot for that, which is stupid. I've never been a bookish guy, and that isn't my fault, nor does it stop me from functioning. So it would be nice if people could drop the condescension when they speak to me.
'But you're no better than a pirate!' You cry. Actually, I'm much better. I've never murdered anyone, nor stranded people after hijacking their ship. I mean, I've stolen ships before, yeah, but I leave them where I'm sure their owners can find them. And I don't attack ships. Plus I don't take jobs which involve stealing from people who need what possessions they have. I have some morals, y'know.
*Bad Reputation plays*
I'd love to be the loveable rogue who throws back a glass of whisky at the end of a hard day, but alcohol tastes repulsive to me. Ew. It's like drinking some sort of cleaning liquid.
How he reacts to:.
Anger - Gallifrey has a pathetic amount of self control. When he's angry, everyone will know because he'll either be very obnoxiously sullen, or roaring about the cause of his anger for everyone to hear.
Grief - In times of great distress Gallifrey is very withdrawn and uncooperative. He gets snappy if people keep trying to speak to him after he's made it clear that he wants to be left alone.
Fear - He tries to keep a lid on showing signs of fear because it tends to show weakness and if he's out of his mind with fear he won't be able to think of a way to get out of the situation.
Happiness - When Gallifrey is happy his mood tends to be infectious, because he throws his whole soul into being cheerful.
Jealousy - Again with the lack of self control. Gallifrey is very petty and pouty when he's jealous. He'll try to monopolise the attention of the object of his affection.
Gotta love that rough baritone. 'Born to Run' is my jam, man.

Freedom, a poem by me. wrote:The wind, it calls me. The trees as rustle in the breeze, telling me I just need to be free.. The sweet scent of leaves, the aromatic scent of flowers in bloom in the spring, my heart tells me this where I belong... Free...Wild... Untamed.... Feral... I am born to be free.. I must answer the call of the wild. I must break these chains that bind me and keep me from being me..
