Name You'd Choose for It: Jared (I might change it later)
Gender: Male
Reason You Want It: I saw him and fell in love immediately. I've never had a lot of characters, or had one that I was particularly close to, but I can really connect with his design. I'll definitely get art of him, and probably draw him quite a bit myself! :3 I'll most likely add an off-white messenger bag, and put his halo around one ear instead of floating above his head if I get him.
History/Background/Other: SUMMARY: Jared is basically Heaven's Courier. You don't actually have to read my failure of a history if you don't want to, that's really all there is to it. :3

I've never liked rules much...

And that didn't change when I died. I guess I was kind of in shock when I actually got to heaven. My life hadn't exactly been a virtuous one, so imagine my surprise when those giant, golden gates opened for me. Perhaps I thought that the few good deeds I had done in my short lifetime had been enough, but, of course, the angels weren't that merciful.

I had been a young man (yes, I was a man once!), still quite new to the world, when I was killed. It was just after my 26th birthday, if I remember correctly, and I had made Nex angry enough to pull a gun. I deserved it, I knew I did - my gambling debt was through the roof, and I was no where near paying Nex off. I really was trying to get the money, too. Nex was a good guy. But I had gone months without a job and was no closer to paying him back as when I'd borrowed the money, and picking a fight in Nex's bar was the last straw. He had come out from the back room and seen a customer beaten to a bloody pulp. It was me, of course. The guy had made one too many snide comments - I couldn't help it! Well, after that little fist fight, Nex demanded that I either pay up or get out. I refused to do either, the fight escalated, and I ended up with a bullet through the chest.

Anyway, I ended up at the gates, thinking that I'd somehow managed to get in. But those damn angels were too cheap for that, the jerks. (Oops, probably shouldn't have said that. Well, if you don't tell, I don't get caught!) In case you didn't know, the angels are the authority in heaven, keeping the peace and providing the departed souls with whatever they desire. Gabe, Ralph, and Mike, the three archangels, oversee the regular-ranked angels. ...Well, technically I'm supposed to call them "Archangels Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael", but whatever. They can't eavesdrop on our conversation here. Back on topic, Gabe met me at the gates, and wasn't sure whether he should let me in or not.

"I don't think you deserve the comfort of this place," he said, "Perhaps you'd be more suited to spending the afterlife elsewhere."

Well, I wasn't having any of that. I may not like heaven much, but I'm sure hell is a lot worse. I asked the boss what I needed to do to get in, and he said something like, "Hm... Maybe if you work off you debt to humanity for a few millenia." Excuse me? A few millenia? It's longer than it sounds, I assure you - and it sounds pretty long to begin with! Ignoring my look of shock at the ridiculous amount of time, Gabe continued, "Mr. Michael, Mr. Raphael, and I have been busy up here lately. We haven't had time to go around delivering messages to earth for a while... All right, it's settled. You'll be our new messenger!"

Being Heaven's Courier isn't as fun as it would seem, as I found out. My job is basically sprinting around the skies - and occasionally down to earth - to deliver messages from the big boss and the archangels. And they even turned me into a dog, under the pretense that it would make me quicker while I ran around delivering their mail! -sigh- I'd much rather be back in Nex's bar playing pool, but I guess that's what got me here in the first place. I suppose the job really isn't too bad. For once in my - err - afterlife, there are people depending on me. I get a lot of breaks, because I'm only on duty when the big guys need a message delivered, and (to my great surprise), they have an okay pub here, complete with pool tables and some pretty good guys to hang with (although, playing pool with paws isn't the easiest thing I've done, I tell you!) And I suppose I'll see Nex and my old friends eventually, if they get in. So I guess I can deal with this for a few more years... Oh, shoot! Look at the time! Gabe's expecting me, so I have to run. Perhaps we'll meet again, but until then, farewell.

I understand that by adopting this creature I take full responsibility for it. Oh yeah. >:D

I'm not sure if the story was any good. It's what came to mind when I saw him, so... Yeah. XD
I've already drawn a quick sketch of Jer... If I don't get him, it can be fanart for whoever does. :3 <3







Oh, and congratulations, Tripp! Good luck. n_n

Name You'd Choose for It:
Satin Coffin

Gender:
male

Reason You Want It:
There were three designs up that I really liked, but Satin really caught my eye especially.
His markings seem the most original, and he just seems so cute and huggable looking. :3 I felt a real connection with him, and as you can see, I write really well with him. If I get him I will write even more and add to his story.
And I have a really good place for him in my chars, so, I feel it would be much better with him.

Personality:
In the beginning of his life Satin is rather quiet and subdued, but mostly because he doesn't know whats going on. He does, but just doesn't get how people work. Like his mind is just tuned differently. After years of work in the Band of Thevies he becomes stronger and rather gruff, with a I've seen it all attitude, but that doesn't happen for awhile. He gets the workings of socniety, especially in his little group, but still doesn't bet why people act the way they do, and think what they think.

History/Background/Other:

Prologue

I don't understand why canines hate cats so much. If anything it’s us who should hate them. Cats are beautiful well lubricated, silent and we can fall and land on our feet. Dogs and other such things are large, lumbering, smelly, and loud. They need others to guide and tell them what to do, they cannot be solitary.

I did know one canine though, who was just as good as any cat.

I suppose that's not one hundred percent true though, he was a robotic dog, from the company Future Tech. They seem just like normal dogs. They look like Dobermans, with unique colors and patterns. As I recall, he was a bluefish gray, with stripy steel blue designs on his body. Beautiful dog, he was. Shame I had to leave the thieves, but I'm getting ahead of myself.

got struck by the first volley
of the war in the corps
never held my service

Part 1

I remember the day I met him, and the theives. It was a bright, sunny day. To add drama, it probably shold of been bleak and stroming, but you can never count on weather. I had just gotten away from my parents, I was barely old enough to leave, but full grown I was. I certainly didn't act it when I heard something large coming through the bushes, and then when a huge red wolf with big bat wings came out I may have blacked out for a bit.
When I came to I heard a deep, gruff voice, and several others milling around, the first wolf, who seemed to be arguing with a small bluish jackal.

"Yes, I know it’s a cat, it’s a cat, so what? He has wings and its young, we can mold his mind to our desires."
"No, he is a cat. Feline. Sneaky, mischievous, solitary. Cats are forbidden."
"Joseph, you're in it for the money, we all know that. This thing will make us money. The one thing you truly love, wealth."
"Fine, but when tragedy strikes or he rats us out don't come crying to me."
I felt sick and scared. I looked around wildly at the odd assortment of canines around me. What's wrong with me being a feline? I never chose it. Never did anything to and canine my whole life.
"Uh, who are you guys?" I said, cringing as they all turned to me.
"We are The Band Of Theives." Answered the jackal who had wanted to mug me and go. Because of my species?

The Band Of Theives, I remembered, as I heard my parents talking about it one night, was a organization of criminals set up by the two jackals, Joey and Stil, run around, finding people to mug, and others to recruit. They would mug you of anything they wanted, maybe ruff you up a bit, then go. Or force you to join them. They had found me, and were going to recruit me.
I whimpered and he laughed coldly. A small female came up to me. For a second I was taken aback at her assortment of pink, purple, black, white, blue markings. She turned fully to me and looked me right in the eye, she has frightening lime green eyes. She was small, but I could see a fierce determination and toughness in her eyes.

"I'm Shatter. You're going to be joining our little force. Okay?"
"I'm Satin." I answered stupidly.
I saw her raise her eyebrows in amusement, but she said nothing.
"Cool, Satin, glad to see you aren’t complaining. That’s probably just shock though. So, you can fly. You'll be the...third. Revenge and Lost can fly too. Revenge is the red one with the leathery wings, Lost isn't here right now, but he's soft gray, with feathery wings and branch patterns..."
All I noticed was how much she seemed to like this 'Lost' fellow. At the time I had no clue why, but I was falling for Shatter. Why, I still can't gather. A rude, arrogant splash of color on an insufferable canine.
"He must not be so great if he's lost." I grumbled.
She turned to me, and for a second I was worried she was mad at me. She then she laughed loudly. I smiled too.
"I think it’s more of slipping from attention, than missing. " She smiled at me, and I felt like I was floating. "There’s also Caz, I think he's here somewhere. He can almost breathe underwater. And Vengeance, since she's not flirting with Revenge, she probably checking if we’re being followed again. She thinks if her and Venge have similar names they're meant to be together." Shatter sighed. I felt bad this bothered her. Maybe I should stop it. "Lost's kid is around here somewhere, little brat. Probably digging a hole in the woods. Platinum! Stay over here!"
She then stalked off, which made me sad. Suddenly, a small, natural-colored jackal stalked by me. Shatter hadn't told me about him. I watched as he walked over to Revenge.

"Hey, have you seen that one black and blue mutt? The one with the floppy hair."
"No, not since he ran off when we tried to recruit him."
"Ehh.. We need to find him. We'll convince him."

Running off, that hadn't occurred to me. No, I'd stay. Shatter would need comforting about Lost and his kids.
What would serving with them be like? A life of running and stealing. Well, I didn't have anything to do today anyway.

i can see the lines open shutters
and the leaves flocked on a grid
that's what they made my hero say
but nothing gets me off so completely
but when you put it down
ten feet down in the ground
call and response in the negative home

Part 2

I woke up the next day being shaken by the blue jackal that hadn't wanted me. His name was, Joe, right?

"Hey, kid, newbie, wake up. Now."
"Joe..."
"Kid, my name is Joseph or Joey. Nobody calls me Joe, okay. Now get a more on."
"Okay, Joseph."

I saw as he walked away, he threw me an extremely upset look. Now what had I done exactly? Yesterday I couldn't seem to get anything right.
I saw everyone in a huddle and walked up beside Shatter. "What's going on now?" I asked sleepily.
"Revenge saw a huge dog, said it looked Doberman-like, but was all gray and blue. It looked tuff. Were looking for it so we can try to recruit it. He also said it looked extremely strong, and oddest of all, had no smell. Like a robot, or ghost."
So you guys don't need me anymore? I asked, suddenly worried.
"I don't think Joey'd let you go now."
"Why?"
"We, I mean he, doesn't trust felines. Sorry.."

Then there was a commotion and a silvery flying wolf flew down. That was probably Lost. I felt my fur bristling against my will.
"I saw it, it’s actually heading towards us. May want to get ready." Lost shouted.
Everyone in the camp tensed. Now a sound came from anyone, which was probably hard for the bulking canines. I was always silent. And yes, as I said in the begging, the robotic dogs here cat-like in grace so also silent, like a feline. That why we suddenly found ourselves being ripped apart by that very same dog.

All the sudden, he stopped. He stood, staring at me. I just admired how smoothly he moved, the smoothness that most would never see in a canine.

"What's a superstitious guy like Joseph doing with a cat, hm?"
I didn't answer. His voice was smooth, flowing, and almost melodious. But is had a hard, cold, almost metallic sound laced into it. Shatter nudged me. I didn't notice. Joey came forward. Pretty brave, actually.

"Simply because it was a worthy investment. He could get us more money. He is inconspicuous."
"Why are you following me then? Joe, I hear you know about everything that goes on. You know, unlike most of your followers, that I am a robotic dog. Escaped from Future Tech thanks to that one bloody faulty experiment, 007. I have no money, nothing of value, I'm trying to get away."
"Yes, I did hear. I know, We're not going after you for money. We want to recruit you. And why would you say no? What else do you have to do, where else to go? Don't fight, come with us. What’s your name?"
"B589(rd) Or, if you can't remember that, Define. And yes, you're right Joseph. I have nothing else to do, nowhere to go. I know you are a pack, and if I were to join, you would protect me from people trying to round me up. I have no good reason not to, so yes, I will join your band of criminals."

That was it, everyone seemed stunned. Even Define himself was a little confused, I could tell. He turned to me, and I could tell he approved of me. Perhaps liked me. He walked up to me and sized me up.

"Okay, kid. I can tell you've got plenty potential. I can also tell your completely innocent, and have no clue what’s going on. You're gonna need my help if you want to stay alive."

With that, my training began. He taught me everything I know. He made me tough, hardened, and intelligent. He honestly saved my life many times though. With his help I became the best there was.

stop breathin'

breathin' for me now

dad they broke me.

I understand that by adopting this creature I take full responsibility for it.

Pet's ID Tag: #23
Name You'd Choose for It: Anyu
Gender: Male
Reason You Want It: I am quite new to chickensmoothie, and I am not that sure how it all works yet, but my favorite aspect of this game is characters. I just recently made my 'hairsona' and I am very eager to get a few more characters. I absolutely adore this design, and a Gryphon has always been my favorite fantasy creature, so I think it was a perfect fit!
History/Background/Other:

I was cold. Hungry. Tired. Just waiting for someone, something, to rescue me from this horrible place.
I am a gryphon, one of the last of our kind actually. My mother was hunted and killed soon after I was born, so I have had to fend for myself. Life was good in the mountains. There was plenty of food, many kind creatures of all sorts, and there was never a bad day. Until they came. The humans.

As soon as I was about 1 year old, my wings were fully developed, and I have always wanted to venture out of the mountains. The others warned me, but I took no notice. Once I had eaten, gotten a good nights sleep, I was off. You will never know that feeling of soaring through the sky, completely free, with not a care in the world. I had gone a bit to far though, and I didn't know how to get back. I swooped lower, and I could see these strange places, they were like rocks, but completely square. And humans were walking in and out of them. I was to busy thinking about this weird place, and I didn't see the plane ahead of me. All I remember is a large pain in my stomach. I could barely breathe, and then all went black.

Next thing I knew, I was in a small area. I attempted to fly out, but there was this strange, shiny mesh around me, like I was trapped in. I called out for anyone who would hear me, but I got no reply. Suddenly, one of them appeared. They had a long stick, and he was putting something in it. His white coat was blinding, and he pointed the stick at me. I attempted to run, but the mesh was holding me in. I heard a loud pop, and a sharp pain in my shoulder. It all faded away, but not completely. I remember them poking me, strapping me down and pumping fluids into my veins. I tried to escape, believe me. I finally gave up and let them do what they wanted with me. Once they were finished, I started to wake up. They shoved me back into my cage and closed the large door onto it. This was how I lived. For five years.

Then something happened. I met her. The best thing that ever happened to me. I remember the day like it was yesterday. It was a cold winter night, and I dreaded another day in what I learned was called a 'science lab'. But right when I awoke, the human came with a girl. She was about 15, and she was different then everyone else. She had a gentle voice, unlike those of the adult humans. She stroked my head, and she cooed me with gentle words. She called me Aryu, which I generally caught on to be known as. She came every day, and finally I left with her. She took me to her home, a small cave next to a creek. She had no family just like me. We were the same. We would play together, eat together, sleep together, everything. I needed her and she needed me. Once we had been together for a few months, we flew for the first time. It was all new to me, but as soon as she got on my back and we flew into the air, I knew this was the best feeling I have ever had. We would soar over my old home, and never go back to that horrible place again. Now I live with her, living out our days soaring above the clouds and living to the fullest. I learned to call her Alice. We were one.
I understand that by adopting this creature I take full responsibility for it.
I am working on a picture of him and Alice together. If I don't get him, I can edit Alice out and the picture can go to whoever gets her(: I hope I did this right:/
