Tracker Dog Application Series 1
Username: Wolves Run Free
Tracker Dog you want: The First One
Name you'll give it: Zero
Reason why you want it:
Ever since I saw my first tracker dog, I have been stunned. But soon after that, they were shut down. Perhaps forever. I checked back ever so often, but until a few weeks ago I didn't know if they were gonna come back. When I saw this, I was so happy. I intended to wait for the perfect one. But it was already here. Wild and untamed, with a bit of blue glow, it was an amazing design. I write a lot, and Zero would fit any hero or villain role. What better companion is there?
Will it be used in any kind of story? Yes.
Describe its personality:
Proud and Stubborn, you never know the real side of him unless you look past his shortcomings. A Brave, Smart Tracker is behind the mask. You might never see him run away from a fight, no matter what its about. But if you ever need his help as a friend, you never will need to ask. Brave and Loyal to the end, he is bitterly stung on how he didn't inherit his families poison. He loves Sports and competitions to prove his worth, so I would not recommend challenging him there!
Write an introduction for your Tracker:
Rain. All there was was rain. And a flash of thunder now and then. The female Tracker huddled in the corner, her green tongue glowing with toxin. A lone human's shadow was watching from the back. The female eyed him warily. She knew it was Nex, the caretaker of the Tracker dogs, but she felt at ease. There wasn't something right in the air. The door opened, and a large Tracker dog strutted in. He was a smooth skinned pure bred Tracker, who was all blue, toxin shining in his glands. He went over to the other pure bred black and green female, and licked her smooth skin. He had seen the mangy coats of wild ones, and didn't like it. The thunder flashed outside, making them all jump. The female grunted in pain, and looked into her mates eyes. It was time.
Zero watched as his brother and sister were taught to properly use their toxin. He growled as his father turned his back to him, and his mother brushed pass him as well. At a month old, he had learned early he had no toxin at all. His brother and sister had bright blue and green fur, that was so smooth you could clearly see their outline. He had smooth fur too, but unlike them he had to groom it secretly. His father would freak if he had a simple curl of fur showing. It had stopped raining after weeks, so it was the first time he saw the sun. But his mom snapped at them when they looked at it for a long time. He wondered why. He also could not figure out why he was so... different. Where did he get it from? He knew he was hated by his family. He looked up, and noticed their toxin lesson was over. He leaped up, and tore across the lawn eagerly.
"Can you shoot now? Who can shoot farther? Does it hurt? Can I see?" He yelped a barrage of questions, dancing around his siblings eagerly. "Cut it out, Zero!" His father shoved his face into Zero's, his lip curling in anger. "Why cant you behave and act non-curious and elegant like your siblings for once?" Zero glanced at his brother and sister, who turned their nose up at him. He looked up at his dad. "But dad... I mean Toxin, sir, I-" Toxin snarled again. "Quite blabbering! Thats it." He said after Zero opened his mouth to protest. " Meet me outside the pen. Noon." And Toxin walked away. Zero felt his mom, Poison, nudge him. He turned to her hopefully. Toxin was known to fight his children brutally to teach them. She eyed him. "You should behave Zero!" And opened the door of their cage. He walked out, thinking hard. Was it... a challenge? He felt happiness shoot through him all of a sudden. He could win! If he knew how to fight...
The sun was in the middle of the sky. It was noon. Zero saw Toxin waiting right outside the kennels. He slunk out of the shadows and faced Toxin. Toxin waited, and then started circling. Zero shook the last thoughts from his head, and started too. Except he started the wrong way. He crashed into Toxin, who snapped at him, and then grabbed him by the scruff, and easily tossed him into the far wall. Zero struggled to get up, but his back left leg kept crumbling behind him. Toxin raced back, and swatted him into the air. Zero howled as he fell, blood dripping from the gash on his side, and fell back onto toxins waiting trap. He was flipped over, and pinned at the throat. He opened his eyes he had squeezed shut, and looked into Toxins glowering face. "Never. Come. Back." He hissed, and then bit down. Zero felt pain, and saw stars shooting through him. But He felt panic as well, for he was falling into darkness which leaped at him, wrapped around him like a cloak, and yanked him back down.
Pain. Was that what the world was made of? Zero staggered up, and looked around, wondering where he was. Oh. He was by the pen,his wounds still raw.All there was besides Nex was the Tracking forest. And everyone know the Trackers there hated smooth ones. But it was all he had left. He shakily walked toward the forest, and eyed the dark, menacing trees. Just then a young female wild Tracker Dog stepped out from behind the tree to the far left of him. She looked to be the same age as him, with dull green colors surrounded by brown stripes. None of her glowed. She circled him, and he tensed. But she looked him in his eye. "Smooth coat?" She asked, eyeing his mangled coat. He shook his head. His coat was curly. The female relaxed. She started back into the forest. She glanced back. "Come." She said, and joy flickered through him. He was wanted.
You would not recognize the year old Tracker as the same pup now. Proud and Brave, he studied his territory. No intruders were hear today, he realized. As he scented the air. Good thing he could taste colors, he mused. Then a rustle alerted him to the female. Then he was attacked. Her claws were sheathed, and her movements gentle, but he wouldn't let her win. He slammed her into a tree, dove under her belly, and shot up, easily penning her. She growled at him angrily. "Is this the reward I get for teaching you how to do that?" She grunted, and he let her up. He touched his nose to hers, regret whelming him as he watched her go. She had refused to be his mate. But they were still friends... for now. But he spun around again as a louder rustle happened. A human! After all this time! He crouched as a young girl with a... wolf? It could not be! But she knelt next to him. "I have need of another companion. Will you choose me?"
