Proud founding species of "No Form Left Behind"
Make sure to mark the main thread to qualify!

Parrapups, or Parras, are an omnivorous, aviary quadrupedal species that originated from tropical areas, but after they were domesticated, they gained more levels of fur and different beaks. All parras spend a lot of time cleaning themselves, and preening their feathers if they have wings. Parras come with a variety of tails and beaks, but good luck finding one that does! Having a large gene pool Parras also have the chance to show some mutations. They come in a large variety of colors including bright neons and dull greys. All parras are a very social in some way and love to whistle, sing, and chatter to others- Parra or not!

Without Wings

My first Parrapup design as an artist qvq I had so much fun making this guy, and the timer is a lie because I procrastinate// Anyways, to try out for him, give him a name, tell me what he reminds you of (it can be anything your mind can imagine), and give me a small background on him. Extras are allowed, but no necessary, and prettying-up is fine. Just please don't over pretty-up your forms up though.

This contest will end on August 12th, after I get home from camp

What does he remind you of: One of my favorite characters from my favorite video game Tekken.

Background (history, a story of his past life, etc.): Lars was always different comapred to the other Parrapups like himself. He was socical with his kind but he was drawn to the other creatures around him. Lars felt like his kind didn't understand the way he thought so far ahead into the future, he felt like an outcast in his own kind during his younger years in life. Has Lars grew up he began to keep his most special thoughts to himself. He learned to accept others for who they where, witch made him strive to be someone who could help others. Lars, growing up peaceful, taught him to only fight when needed. He took on a role of being there for other Parrapups that didn't have anyone. He also took in small creatures like bunnies or mice or even foxes to take under his wings and help them. Although Lars struggled in the begining he eventually found the right path he needed to be on. He has only barley strayed from his path since then.

Name: Ember

What does he remind you of: A volcano!

Background (history, a story of his past life, etc.): Ember was always more of a loner. He didn't have many friends when he was young, mostly only his mom and dad and older sister (not real parras, just family for the story). Instead of going and playing sports with the other young parras, he preferred to sit under a tree and write. He loves writing, making the characters realistic with personalities and weaknesses, developing the story's plot, including the infamous plot-twists! And just creating a world that grew over time. If he was having trouble at school, or just with people in general, he would write a similar problem for his characters to face, sometimes without knowing it! His characters overcame the problem, even though Ember was unable to. Over time as school problems got worse, his grades went down and he was very depressed. His parents saw how much trouble his peers were giving him, so they decided to take him home and home-school him. Things were better for a little while, but he still had difficulties interacting with parras that were not his family. He was secluded more than ever, and therefore didn't learn important people skills. The only think keeping him sane was his writing. Once he reached adulthood he left home to search for inspiration, he was having writer's block for he had already written everything he knew. He flew and flew for days, stopping to rest and to find food. He stumbled upon a dormant volcano, it was so beautiful to him and filled him with happiness and ideas for writing. He has since made it his home, living in a little cave on the side of the mountain. There is a city not too far from the volcano, so he sometimes goes there to people-watch and get ideas for characters, but he still is very bad at socializing. He wants to widen-out, and get some friends but it's hard. He is still learning how to interact with other parras, but he is improving. (Is is okay for his story to be like this, as if he was human like in his personality and him being able to write?)

I have read on the main page that parras are social animals, and if they are not than they can develop schizophrenia, but in his case his writing helps him because he doesn't socialize very much. He socializes with his characters. He is not entirely anti-social, he likes to speak with people, but he isn't very good at it so he does it less than most.
