Back To His Roots ;;
Keith looked down from the hotel window in the room
he was staying at for his concert. Looking down
at the busy streets,
he couldn't help but remember how this all started.
With a little girl,
a dream, and a video she made of him. A smile lit his
face as the memories
came flooding back.

It was early afternoon; he was leaning against
the wooden fence that divided
his ranch from his neighbor's property. Keith was
playing his guitar when one of
the little girls next door, Akinyi Taylor, came
running up to the fence and scaled it
so that she could seat herself at the top of it.
She always came over to talk to him
and listen to him play and sing. On that fateful day,
unbeknownst to Keith at the time,
she’d brought her parents’ camcorder and hidden it
on the fence, aiming it at
him as he performed. By the end, just like
every time he performed for her,
she told him he ought to become a “professional country artist.”
"I wish Akinyi, but it takes a lot to get to that point," he'd
told her, sighing,
"many don't reach their dream, the chances of
success are small, it's unlikely I'll ever make it."
"I think ya could do it Uncle Keith," she beamed
up at him, seeming confident in his abilities.
Keith chuckled, taking his hat off to
put it on her head, “Maybe I could,”
She looked up at him from beneath his large
brown cowboy hat, eyes gleaming
with confidence, “I’ll prove it to ya Uncle Keith,”
she leaped off the fence
and ran off towards her house, leaving him
standing there, dumbfounded.

He hadn't known about the recording she’d made
of his performance until
she uploaded the video to PlumeTube. The video
somehow became a huge hit, practically overnight!
Calls came flooding in from his friends and family,
then from people saying that they
wanted to sign him onto their record label.
He didn’t believe them at first, at least
not until Akinyi had come over to his house to
show him what a big hit he was on the internet.
Since then, his career skyrocketed. He won
awards and soon went from country to pop,
but the change to pop music had left Keith
feeling untrue to himself.
As the flashback of memories ended,
Keith sighed wistfully.
“I miss those days,” he glumly
whispered to himself, as he continued to
stare down at the bustle of the city, an
idea popped into his head.
After this tour, I’m going to go back
to my roots. I’m going to go back to
doing country music. Heck! I’ll take a break
from it all and just spend time with my family
and friends.
Keith picked up his guitar, grabbed his favorite
Cowboy hat and started playing a country song,
beginning to feel more like himself than he had
in what seemed like years.
Why on earth did I ever leave country music?



Wearing His Heart On His Sleeve;;
Keith is quite a charming fellow,
being both very polite, friendly,
and an overall likable Plumie. He
is especially appealing to children,
who find him both fascinating as
well as extremely fun to be with.
This is perhaps because he is
very animated when he is playing
as well as very comedic.
Keith can seem felicific when it
comes to friends and family.
Keith is unpretentious, this being
because he is insecure about his
guitar playing as well as his
singing, despite what others may
say about them.
This handsome Plumie is rustic
and quite manly. Due to his
upbringing, Keith is old-fashioned
as well as religious. He's also very
dependable, the kind of friend
one could depend upon to get
you out of a bind. He wouldn't
think about what's in it for him
or that it's too far. He'd be there
for his friends when they need
him.
Keith is also quite magnanimous,
one would have to really trying to
push his tolerance for what he
can forgive and forget. He's quite
adaptable, able to learn from his
mistakes. He is very observant, in
being so, he has become adept at
pinpointing what motivates others.
Due to this, he can sometimes
seem suspicious.
Keith is very disorganized, which
often means that not only are his
living quarters not organized, so
too are his thoughts. So he can be
a bit on the forgetful side as well.
His forgetfulness often leads to
procrastination on things that need
doing, which often leads to more
than a little bit of stress to finish
them in time.
Keith is whimsical in that he is, as
the dictionary might define it
"playfully quaint or fanciful,
especially in an appealing and
amusing way." He' s very creatively
minded and as well as very artful.

[Mythy]

Username:

Mythy (still a non-owner). I was waiting to see how some of my other applications turned out before I applied for this one, since I had a good idea, but if I got one elsewhere I wanted to flesh that one out before starting on a new one.

Unfortunately, I didn't win any of them. But that means I had more time to work on this application!

Reason Behind Name:

Ok, it's kind of a long story, but it all boils down to Star Trek. The doctor from Deep Space Nine is this young idealistic fellow who wants to practice "frontier medicine." This Julian has similar aspirations. And McCoy is the last name of one of my other favorite doctors.

Sex:

Male, panromantic demisexual

Writing:

A story of one of Julian's not-so-normal days at work:

There was something about hanging the sign- a rough-hewn wooden thing, just his name and profession, written in block capitals with style forgone for easy readability- over the door of the newest building in town that made it more official, somehow. He'd been seeing patients for the past few days, ever since news had gotten out that there was an honest-to-god doctor in the town now, but it had taken time for the materials to be scrounged up to build him a little house- barely a cottage, really- that would serve as his home, hearth, and hospital for the foreseeable future.

He breathed in deeply. The wood hadn't yet taken on the hard scent of the dust and dirt that was omnipresent in the area, nor had it acquired the sharper twin scents of blood and sanitizer. No, it still smelled softly of sawdust, with the slight mineral tang of the sweat that had gone into building it. Although he'd never ever let it be suggested that he was looking forward to someone being injured, he couldn't help but hope for a little action. He was a Doctor, darnit, couldn't he hope to be able to do his job?

Of course, as soon as he thought that, it all had to go to hell in a handbasket. Jule's ears perked up at the sound of an immense bellow from outside the town limits- a bull was angry. That wasn't unusual in and of itself, but the loud cry of pain following it was. He lept up immediately, running as fast as he could in the direction of the fields. He managed to get there just in time to find a cluster of herders surrounding one of their number, curled up in pain on the ground.

"Let me though! Let me through! I'm a doctor!" Julian shoved his way through the huddle, crouching down next to the injured man.

Man? He was barely a teenager. Julian recognized him as the teenage son of the owner of the ranch. He mentally cursed at himself for not paying attention to the youngster enough to learn his name, for always writing him off as eager, although vaguely irritating.

And now the child was lying on the ground, one foot bloody, but not totally crushed by the foot of a bull. Julian nearly sighed with relief. It wasn't as bad as it could have been. A foot, he could splint a foot. He had the material to make a cast for it back at his office, and signaled for the surrounding handlers to carry the poor boy back to his office.

It didn't take long once the boy was actually in his office- he gave him something for the pain, and after that, it was the work of only a few moments to splint and cast the wound. Once the boy was sleeping soundly on the bed, Julian allowed himself to collapse into a chair.

That would teach him to wish for adventure.

Extra One:

Personality

Julian is most often described as puppy-like. He thrives on attention and praise, with the eager to please mindset that goes along with that. He's certainly not one to fall under the quiet, studious stereotype of a doctor, on the contrary- he's extremely people-oriented and gregarious, and hates spending too much time on his own.

His greatest failing, however, is his pride and hubris. He's only been a full doctor for a few years, and hasn't lost a patient yet. This record, unfortunately, has gone straight to his head, leading him to be prideful and overconfident in his skills- more likely than now, if he were to encounter something truly challenging, he would believe himself to be able to conquer it when others have failed.

Another aspect vitally important to Jule's character is his sense of honor and loyalty. He takes his reputation, and the reputation of his friends, extremely seriously, and if someone were to damage his reputation or that of his friends, he would take all possible steps to fix the damage that was done. He chooses his friends very carefully- he's not one to fall for a pretty face or a silver tongue, rather, he takes all necessary steps to make sure that those he surrounds himself with are good for him, and trusts that once he's made his judgement on someone, they won't change significantly enough for him to have to reassess his opinion of them.

Someone proving untrustworthy that he trusts would probably shatter him. Sure, he tends to look a the world through rose-colored glasses, but he also trusts his own ability to read people. Someone that he believed to be a good person not turning out to be one would be an extremely damaging blow to his psyche.

Could you please extend this?

[Beatnik]

Could you please extend this?

Checking your form, it looks like you have nothing in the past two weeks uAu If you had something, I may have considered with a vote, but it's unfair to people who have been working these past two weeks to extend for someone who hasn't had anything up for the time that was given.

[Rabbitheart]

What time today is this going to end? I don't really need an extension, but I'm expecting art for my form today. ^^;

[Beatnik]

What time today is this going to end? I don't really need an extension, but I'm expecting art for my form today. ^^;

It ends at 9pm mountain time! nwn So kind of late for anyone on the east coast where the time will be 11pm. I have two contests ending at that time: this one, and a makoatl one. I'll have judging up today, but I'm not sure about winner since it looks like there are a lot of competing forms!

Most of my judging will be on uniqueness of character (which shouldn't be hard since there aren't any western plumies that I've ever seen) and the portrayed personality! Art will be based off effort over quality but quality can beat effort if it is really good.

[Mythy]

Are you going another no form left behind for this one, Beatnik? I know I was able to apply a lot of the suggestions from the last one to this application, so it definitely helped a lot.

Just wondering, I guess.
