You didn't win the character, sorry. I looked up your form. Long story short: the personality was too short, the history was a WIP and the rest of the form could be expanded too.

This agency gives characters away indeed, but not right away. People need to show effort in their form, that's why I want to see longer forms. On the first post you can see when the code drop is, then I'll let everyone know who won the character.
If you didn't win you can apply again

I hope this helped.

Why do you want this character?
Well, I had an connection with this beautiful boy, when I saw that he was being donated. Something just clicked, and I couldn't stop thinking about him. I do currently have a dragon and wolf hybrid character. (But she's a eastern dragon and wolf hybrid.) I love his design, and I have an deep connection and love for him. I can't see any reason not to want love and cherish this adorable guy. I hope with my heart, to win him with my efforts in this form.

Where will you use it, and what will you use it for?
Well, I would use Arron as beloved original character. I would also draw him often, and I would include him in short stories, and poems. I need more half dragon/half wolf characters, since I only have one, but she hasn't been added to my character thread yet. (since I forgot to add her picture to a post in my character thread.) If I were to win Arron, his home would be in my ever growing character thread.

Character information

Name:
Arron.

Name meaning:
Variant spelling of English Aaron, meaning "light-bringer."

Gender:
Male.

Species:
Draco occidentalis canis lupus: The Dragonwolf, which is sometimes also called: The Dracowolf. The dragonwolf is a hybrid of both:
The european dragon (Draco occidentalis magnus)
European dragons are legendary creatures in folklore and mythology among the overlapping cultures of Europe.[1]

In Western folklore, dragons are usually portrayed as evil, with exceptions mainly in Welsh folklore and modern fiction. This is in contrast to Chinese dragons, which are traditionally depicted as more benevolent creatures. In the modern period, the European dragon is typically depicted as a huge, fire-breathing, scaly, horned, lizard-like creature; the creature also has leathery, bat-like wings, four legs, and a long, muscular prehensile tail. Some depictions show dragons with feathered wings, crests, fiery manes, ivory spikes running down its spine, and various exotic decorations.

Dragons are usually shown in modern times with a body like a huge lizard, or a snake with two pairs of lizard-type legs, and able to emit fire from their mouths. This is commonly referred to as a Fire-Breathing Dragon. The European dragon has bat-like wings growing from its back. A dragon-like creature with wings but only a single pair of legs is known as a wyvern. The European dragon are most associated with fire breathing.

It has been speculated that accounts of spitting cobras may be the origin of the myths of fire-breathing dragons.[5]

In folktales, dragon's blood often contains magical properties. For example, in the opera Siegfried, dragon's blood allows Siegfried to understand the language of the Forest Bird. The typical dragon protects a cavern or castle filled with gold and treasure and is often associated with a great hero who tries to slay it. Though a winged creature, the dragon is generally to be found in its underground lair, a cave that identifies it as an ancient creature of earth. Possibly, the dragons of European and Mid-Eastern mythology stem from the cult of snakes found in religions throughout the world. Dragons are often portrayed as purely mythical creatures that are evil, when in fact, they are not mythical nor evil. Scientists believe that dragons in general are mythical creatures, just because they have no proof of their existence.

And of the gray wolf (Canis lupus.)
The gray wolf[a] (Canis lupus), also known as the timber wolf,[5][6] true wolf[7] or western wolf[c] is a canid native to the wilderness and remote areas of North America, Eurasia, and North Africa. It is the largest extant member of its family, with males averaging 43–45 kg (95–99 lb), and females 36–38.5 kg (79–85 lb).[9] Like the red wolf, it is distinguished from other Canis species by its larger size and less pointed features, particularly on the ears and muzzle.[10] Its winter fur is long and bushy, and predominantly a mottled gray in color, although nearly pure white, red, or brown to black also occur.[6]

The gray wolf is the most specialised member of the genus Canis, as demonstrated by its morphological adaptations to hunting large prey, its more gregarious nature,[11] and its highly advanced expressive behavior.[12][13] It is nonetheless closely related enough to smaller Canis species, such as the eastern wolf,[8] coyote[14] and golden jackal[15][16] to produce fertile hybrids. It is the only species of Canis to have a range encompassing both the Old and New Worlds,[8] and originated in Eurasia during the Pleistocene, colonizing North America on at least three separate occasions during the Rancholabrean.[8] It is a social animal, travelling in nuclear families consisting of a mated pair, accompanied by the pair's adult offspring.[17] The gray wolf is typically an apex predator throughout its range, with only humans and tigers[11][18][19][20] posing a serious threat to it. It feeds primarily on large ungulates, though it also eats smaller animals, livestock, carrion, and garbage.[6]

The gray wolf is one of the world's best known and well researched animals, with probably more books written about it than any other wildlife species.[21] It has a long history of association with humans, having been despised and hunted in most pastoral communities due to its attacks on livestock, while conversely being respected in some agrarian and hunter-gatherer societies.[22] It is the sole ancestor of the dog, which genetic and paleontological records indicate was first domesticated in Europe 18,800-32,100 years ago by hunter-gatherers.[23] Although the fear of wolves is pervasive in many human societies, the majority of recorded attacks on people have been attributed to animals suffering from rabies. Non-rabid wolves have attacked and killed people, mainly children, but this is unusual, as wolves are relatively few, live away from people, and have been taught to fear humans by hunters and shepherds.[24]

Because of the fact that it is a hybrid, the dragonwolf has traits from both species. Normally having the body of a gray wolf, and the leathery, bat like wings of a european dragon. A dragonwolf can also have horns, ivory spikes running down its spine, and a long, muscular prehensile tail like the european dragon. It can also have feathered wings instead of leathery, bat like wings, crests, fiery manes, and various exotic decorations. A dragonwolf can also possess the powers of a dragon, one of which is most common: Fire breathing. This also includes breathing: Ice, lava, steam(or water), lighting, wind(or powerful air blasts), earth(ability of controlling plants & things of that sort), nature(ability to communicate with & understand animals), light(ability of controlling light/sunlight), and dark(ability of controlling darkness/shadows).
WIP! Will add even more info. c:

Personality:
Curious.
Arron is very curious of the world around him, he seeks to find out everything that he can, about everything around him. Sometimes this leads to trouble for him, since he can be sometimes, a little curious for his own good. This often leads him running into danger, and to fix it. He'll use his intelligence to get out of a sticky situation, but that sometimes leads to a fight.
Kind, caring, and a little quirky.
Arron is very kind, caring, and a little quirky. When I mean quirky, he has some odd behavior and hobbies. In fact his behavior can so odd at times, that at most times. The older wolves of his pack, normally stay clear away from him. Which doesn't bother him at all. In fact, it just means more playtime, with the pups of his pack for him. He is also quite loving, playful, and a little shy around anyone he may, or might have a crush on.
Confident but humble.
Arron is very confident of his abilities. His overconfidence could be misread as cockiness, but those who know him can tell the difference between his confidence and cockiness. But he will humbly take on any task given onto him. His abilities are vast and he does many things well, so his confidence is well deserved.
Intelligent.
Arron is very intelligent, he knows about many things, that most others have no clue about. He knows about the science behind fireworks, and is very fascinated by the science that goes into making fireworks. He has also learned quite a bit from exploring his surroundings, and by bad experiences.
Protective, brave, and fearless.
Arron is protective, brave, and fearless. He is very brave and he prides himself on being brave. Since he believes it to be an great personality trait. He'll run into danger if his friends need his help, without a second thought. And he'll do anything to protect his family, his pack, his friends, and the ones that he loves. He will do anything by any means necessary, to keep his friends and family safe. So, I suggest that you don't mess with him.
Loyal and truthful.
Once Arron becomes your friend, he will stand by you through anything. He will stand up for your honor, even when your not there to know. He believes in honesty, truth, and integrity. And he will never tell you a lie.
Trustworthy and adventurous.
If Arron gives you his word, you can bet whatever you, asked of him will be done. He is always willing to try new things, and go on adventures with you.

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. I decided that that his original name that weslydog (his original owner) gave him is just perfect for him.

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 by aggressively hurting his feelings, with rude and hurtful comments. If he sees you, and you have done ether of the previously listed things. He will normally be very sarcastic toward to you, 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.

WIP - to completed some time this week!

[Queen Vivane]

Quick question. Can I try and proclaim try out art for my form? ^-^

[SabrinaB]

Quick question. Can I try and proclaim try out art for my form? ^-^

Quick question back: what do you consider 'proclaiming tryout art'?

If you make or order the art from someone else you're free to add it to your form. In fact, it increases your chances, it shows effort! But make sure to give credit if you order it from somene else or use someone else's lines.
If someone posted art in the contest thread you can use it, but others can do this too. Since you didn't make or order this you have no right to claim it yours.
But again, if you make or order it no one else can use it But keep in mind, if you don't win and someone else does the art will become useless. Maybe the winner wants to buy it from you then?

I hope this answered your question, feel free to let me know if it isn't clair yet

[Queen Vivane]

Sorry, I was trying to be fancy with my words haha. Yes I meant ordering art or seeing if I could get anything in the free art request thread ^-^

You answered my question perfectly, thank you very much! <3
