[Metallic Dragon]

Canis Concolor, otherwise known as Zvers, are an alien species that were discovered aboard a crashed space ship. Initially believed to be too vicious to tame, humans have begun to form bonds with these strange beasts, despite warnings from government agents who want them rounded up and exterminated. Despite several attempts, the government has thus far been unable to recapture them and Zvers have begun to breed. Many average joes have set off in search of a Zver to call their very own after hearing rumors that the intelligent creatures could be tamed with a bit of bribery and gentle coaxing. Will you join the hunt?

I believe I saw a request for a phoenix? I didn't see one made yet so I guess here one is. The feathers are not body mods, they were given to this zver, woven into their fur after being dyed to match.

[Daytime-Despair]

Name: Énkav̱ma (Énka for short, Greek for 'Burn')
Biological sex: Female
Personality: Énka is hot headed with a short temper, which gets out of hand quickly sometimes. She tries to control her temper, but sometimes she just can't. She can also be kind and motherly, caring for lost animals or people. She is very overprotective, so be careful if you meet someone in her care. Énka would be nearer than you think.
Home: Énka lives in a cave on Nea Kameni, a volcanic island near Greece. Despite being uninhabited, scientists and the boat workers go there, as well as some animals, so she usually cares for them. She tries to keep the humans and animals apart, as if they found the island was inhabited, that would send even more humans, and they might find her and destroy her home. Or worse, take her from it.
History: Deep in the volcano on Nea Kameni, a golden zver walked around the rocks. Over her time there, she had become resistant to the harsh heat the volcano emitted, and could see though the ash and smoke. Earlier, she had cut herself on a sharp piece of volcanic glass, and it hurt like hell. She sat down, exhausted from walking. She heard a sudden screech and looked up suddenly, fearing it was a predator. She never saw what it was, but there was a large shadow passing above her, glowing orange. Soon after it fell, a few orange feathers drifted down. Collecting the energy she could, she grabbed he feathers. Almost instantly, she felt better. She looked around at her wound to see it was healing, and she looked at the feathers in wonder. She was sure they were phoenix feathers. She wove them into her fur to keep them safe, and with a new wish to help others, like that phoenix had helped her, she ventured to the wold outside the volcano. Whatever lived above there, she was sure she could handle.

Name:
Nix
Biological sex:
Male
Story:
Nix hid in the shadows, not sure what of the human that just woke him up from his nice nap. It seemed to be very interested in his colors, and kept on saying the word pet and red. He had no idea what it met, but he could tell this human was small, just like him. He slowly came out, curiously looking at the human. He began to form a bond, and he didn't even know this human yet. The human gently tried to pick him up, but he was too heavy for her and dropped him and began to cry. He licked the human's face to calm it down, gently laying on her lap....
I looked down at the Zver I had on my lap and remembered the first time I saw Nix, I was about ten years old. I gained his trust and he became my pet. I remember naming him Nix, cause it was the last part of phoenix and I was young. I was luck he wasn't called something like Mr.Fire or just plain old Fire. When I was about eighteen I remember dyeing the feathers, and weaving them into his fur to match his coat. I was making new ones at the moment, because the old ones were fading in color. I sighed, gently petting Nix before getting back to work on them.

So we are allowed to have them have mental/physical disabilities as long as we demonstrate them clearly?

And also, does words in the art/section titles count towards the word limit?

Thanks, this one is stunning!

As long as it is clear that you know what you're talking about and don't glorify/stigmatize/or otherwise misrepresent those disabilities, yes.

No, just the words in major sections of writing
