Why do you want this character?

From the minute I saw him, I knew he had to be mine. The natural colors combined with the American flag heart was a splendid splash of color, and that expression.... I could go on and on, but let's get to the good stuff, shall we?

Where will you use it, and what will you use it for?

I'd use him as a character on deviantart, and possibly put art of him in my signature. Anything that cute has to be shared with the world!

Character information

Name: Spider.... It's just so fitting!

Gender: male, of course.

Personality: fun, loveable, outgoing. He loves cheesy puns, and his hobby is taking photos.

History: Spider was always a loveable dog. He was playful, joyful, and other things-ful! (Other things-full?) once a kid got hold of dye and painted an American flag heart on his chest. Soon after, the family moved and sent him to the pound. Will I be the one to adopt him?

Username: zoecatz1
Kennel number: 97

Why do you want this character?
As soon as I saw him, I knew he had to be mine. It was one of those split-second decisions, ya know?

Where will you use it, and what will you use it for?
If put him in my signature and use him on deviantart! I may even start an rp about him.

Character information

Name: Dominick.... I just can't bring myself to change the name! It feels so mean to do that to a perfectly fine name.....
Gender: male, once again a perfectly fine gender.
Personality: shy, intelligent, witty, smart, calculating, cold, smart aleck-y
History: he wasn't born like that. He had never wanted that odd x on his back. But when he was a pup, he ventured into France too far. He had oil and tar all over his fur. He tried to wash it all off, but it didn't come off. He was stuck with the odd mark forever. For that reason, he was cast out, never to be seen again. He currently lives beneath France, in the catacombs.

Likes, dislikes:
Everything is neutral to him. He sees no reason to have favorites. The only thing he wants from anything is proper functioning.keeperitin

Character information

Name:
Kallini.

Name meaning:
"Beautiful victory" in greek. (got here)

Gender:
Female.

Personality:
A tomboy.
Kallini may not look it, but she is a tomboy through and through. Brave and daring, she's not one to back down from a fight or a dare. Trustworthy and truthful, if she promises you something, she'll hold that promise to the grave if need be. If she was a human, you'd see her walking around in jeans, shorts or a skirt, with a graphic tee-shirt, and wearing her earrings. She loves adventures, dares, and getting dirty.
Standoffish and tough.
Kallini can be very standoffish, to any lion or lioness who dares to cross her. She isn't a shy lioness who'll you let, you use her as your doormat. She's the exact opposite. For she doesn't take anything from nobody. And if you dare to even glare in her direction, she'll give you what for. She also hates it, if you are one of those people, who think that they know everything. Because in reality, they don't.

Why do you want these characters?
Well, I love wolves. And I am trying to build a pack of wolf characters, and this family would be great to start my pack. I already have a few wolf characters, but they don't have a pack, since I only have three wolves, and a pack is normally bigger then that in wild. I love the simplicity of their designs, and how their designs all tie together. I love the idea owning this wonderful family of wolves, and I would love and cherish them forever, if I am lucky enough to win them. I also love the idea of drawing them all, since I could draw the pups in playful poses with, their mother Vera and father Aspen, watching over them from afar.

Where will you use them, and what will you use them for?
Well, I would use this lovely family as beloved original characters. I would also draw them often, and I would include them in short stories, and poems. If I were to win them, their home would be in my ever growing character thread.

Why do you want this character?
Well, first of all he is just completely adorable. With that red suit and tie, one floppy ear and the other pricked, and that cheerful smile of his. I can't see any reason not to want love and cherish this adorable guy. I have never had a dog to human shapeshifter before, and I think that would be very quite fun to draw him, both in dog form and human form.

Where will you use it, and what will you use it for?
Well, I would use Benji as beloved original character. I would also draw him often, and I would include him in short stories, and poems. I need more human characters, since I only have one, but she hasn't been added to my character thread yet. (since she is a sketch drawing. and I need to finish drawing her face before I take a picture of her, and post in my character thread.) If I were to win Benji, his home would be in my ever growing character thread.


Character information

Name:
Benji.

Name meaning:
The name Benji is an English baby name. In English, the meaning of the name Benji is: Right-hand son.

Gender:
Male.

Species:
Dog to human shapeshifter. He is specifically a Shiba Inu mix, when in dog form, which is most of time.

Personality:
Bold and unaffected forthrightness.
Benji is bold, he goes head on into danger without second thought. He also has an unaffected forthrightness, meaning even if you tell him not to do something. Or that something isn't a good idea, he'll still do the complete composite of what you said. And go through with his plan, or proceed to go into the dangerous unknown anyway.
All around good nature.
Benji has an all around good nature, he is normally very cheerful, friendly, kind, thoughtful, and caring. Nothing gets him down. Not a rain day or dropping his ice cream cone can get him down. Normally if he drops his ice cream cone, he'll shapeshift back into a dog to eat it off the sidewalk. And a rain day doesn't bug him much, for he loves to jump in puddles, and make big splashes on everyone around him.
Independent and sarcastic.
Benji has an independent nature, and he can be reserved toward strangers, but he is loyal and affectionate to those who earn his respect. If you haven't earned his respect, by treating him like he's nothing, and aggressively hurting his feelings, with rude and hurtful comments. If he sees you, he will normally be very sarcastic, and he will leave as soon as he gets a chance to.
Aggressive only when provoked.
Benji can be aggressive toward other dogs, if they have been aggressive to him, there for provoking him. Otherwise he isn't very aggressive, and he normally prefers to flee rather then to fight. He will only fight, if ether his life is danger or his friends are danger.

Why do you want this character?
I really couldn't put my finger on why I love this character. I was just scrolling through the kennels, and his design just caught my eye and pulled me in. No matter how much farther I scrolled, I couldn't get him out of my head, so I decided that, since I couldn't stop thinking about him, I'd try out for him. I don't normally go for such simple designs - I like complex, difficult-to-draw-correctly characters, especially when speaking of canines. However, I have found that I'm very intrigued about this little one, and think he'll be well loved with me. Like, every time I look at him, I just get this instant reaction of, "Aw, he's so cute!" and that's sort of why I'd like him.
Also, Bentley donated him here. Bentley is a great person here on CS, so I wouldn't mind adopting him for that reason, too.

Where will you use it, and what will you use it for?
I'll definitely use him as a character, probably making and ordering art of him (though probably making it most of the time, as his design is very simple). I'd also put him on my weebly, which is a WIP, so I'm not ready to post the link here just yet. XD

Name:
Dylan Omicron

Name Meaning and Language of Origin:
Dylan - "Son of the Sea" - Welsh
Omicron - "Small O" - Greek

Greek Symbol Representing His Second Name:
Οο

Gender:
Male ♂

Personality:
Adventurous
Dylan doesn't ever shy away from a chance at adventure and mystery, so you can always count on him being in the middle of things! If there's a fight, he'll either be in the ring or surrounding it - if there's a race, he'll be the one running. He's always caught up in the current of excitement and thrill.

Doesn't Back Down
Dylan is very brave and practically fearless. The only thing he slightly fears is a manticore, honestly. He fears more emotional things than physical things - he fears losing those he loves, mainly...but because very few of his family members are still alive, he doesn't generally have to worry about losing them.

Powerful, but to a Fault
While Dylan is one of the best monster hunters of his time, he sometimes lets the popularity get to his head. He doesn't always stay humble, and most of the time, he flaunts his talents in a flashy and puffed-up way, very filled with pride. He is extremely talented and helps many beings get out of sticky situations, but sometimes gives off a very bad vibe due to his bragging.

Kind
When he's not bragging or being prideful, Dylan is really a sweet guy. He only wants to help others, especially children, who need the most help learning life's lessons.


Favorites
Weather - Sunny with a few fluffy clouds dotting the sky, though he can handle dealing with any weather.
Season - Spring
Day - April 19, his birthday.
Colors - Orange, blue, green, and red.
Books - "The Percy Jackson" series and "The Heroes of Olympus" series, both written by Rick Riordan, his favorite author.
Movie - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
Movie Actors - Liam Neeson and Skandar Keynes
Movie Actress - Georgie Henley
Foods - Tomato Sandwiches, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, and Orange Creamsicles
Drinks - Water, Gatorade, and Coke





History:
As he raced from the manticore, his breath came in ragged gasps. The golden goblet was gasped tightly in his jaws as he raced ahead, feeling the ground shake from the massive creature following close behind. The shadow of the beast fell over him, and he started shaking in fear, trying his hardest to keep his legs pumping up and down, keeping his breathing as normal as possible. He could hear the blood rushing through his body, and as he gasped for air, the goblet tumbled from his mouth. He turned and grasped it, glancing up as the shadow overcame him again.
He growled, leaping over to a tree and stashing the cup inside. He turned to face the beast before him.
The manticore roared.
Saliva stuck onto the pup's ears.
He shook his head, clearing the spit from himself. He growled at the creature before him, getting low to the ground for an attack. "I NEED that goblet."
"And I need YOU for dinner."
His eyes narrowed. "You clearly don't know who I am, kitty cat."
The creature snarled at the insult. "You dare insult me?!"
"You dare not know who I am."
Pausing for only a moment, the creature studied him. "And who exactly ARE you?"
"Dylan Omicron. You'd do well to fear me."

Three days earlier...

Dylan awoke at his house, rolling out of bed. He yawned, stretching after the long night of restlessness. He sighed, slipping on his headphones and plugging them into his iPod, starting his day as he always did: with music. On his playlist today were songs by H8_Seed. Yesterday it was Wooden Toaster. Quite honestly, his iPod went on random and just picked out odd songs for him, but he didn't mind - he liked everything on the little machine, so he didn't mind being surprised by the songs that came up.
"Dylan! Come down for breakfast!"
Dylan yawned again, taking off his iPod and headphones and setting them into his backpack, slinging it onto his back. The bright red color was similar to his hair, though he hadn't planned on buying it - his mother had bought it for him as a Christmas present.
He trotted out to the kitchen, wondering where his mother was. He could've sworn he'd just heard her call -
Suddenly, he was bowled over, a vicious-looking Fury screeching at him. And where there was one Fury, there was bound to be another.
Dylan's eyes narrowed and he shoved the large creature off with a paw. "Please," he said, rolling his eyes. "You'll have to do better than THAT to beat me."
The Fury screeched once more, but setting eyes on Dylan's bored expression, she decided to give up. She turned and flew away, calling her sister after her.
Dylan shrugged, turning to the table. "Cereal. Soggy." He shook his head. "Wish I would've gotten here sooner."
He grabbed his father's sword, slinging it around his neck and sticking a leg through the strap. He then grabbed his mother's bow and arrows, slinging those on his back as well. He slipped on his headphones, sticking the ipod in his backpack which was being dragged behind him in the wagon which he'd tied to his tail and was wheeling along after himself.
He walked out his front door, armed with as much ammo as he could possibly carry. He slipped on his sunglasses, flinching from the bright light that blinded him as he walked out into the sunny day.
He smiled as a song started playing on his iPod. He walked in time with the beat, nodding his head to the music.
The two furies had circled about, spotting Dylan as he walked to school.
Dylan shrugged, grabbing the sword from his back with his teeth and swinging it menacingly at the two furies. It was enough to scare them off. Putting it back in its sheath, he started walking off again.

When he reached the first house on his list of stops, he knocked on the door.
It slowly creaked open, and then he found himself being pulled inside. "Quickly!" hissed the cat as she slammed the door behind him, padlocking it in every way imaginable. "You go out there, you're mincemeat!"
"Clara," he said, smiling, "I've explained this to you. I'm a monster hunter. I hunt the monsters outside."
"That's foolish talking!" she hissed again. "Why, I have half a mind to whip you on the - "
"Grammy?" a tiny kitten asked, popping his head out from behind the couch.
Clara turned. "Yes, my sweet?"
"Can I come out now?"
"No! You stay back there until the monsters go away."
"But I'm not as scared of the monsters as you and Mom are."
"STAY BACK THERE!"
He sighed, rolling into a ball. "Yes, Grammy."
Dylan frowned. "If he's to stay back there 'til the monsters go away...Clara, he'll be back there for most of his life. This infestation is huge, and I can't fight off more than thirty a day. Even at that rate - not counting the fact that they reproduce faster than rabbits - it will still take years to get all of the monsters out of our city. If you want to protect him, let him come with me, or at least watch what I do when I work, so he can fight off his own monsters instead of being cooped up in this house."
"Get. Out."
"Sorry?"
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" she screeched, slashing the air with her claws.
Dylan leapt back, yelping in surprise as he tore out of her house, unlocking the front door and racing down the street.
"AND IF YOU EVER COME BACK," she yelled after him, "I'LL CLAW YOUR EARS OFF!"
