Medical Condition:
Emotional detachment
Peripheral Dissociation can't seem to feel much of anything at all. He can't connect with others an an emotional level, and trying to talk to him, you'd notice this in a heartbeat. He talks without any emotion or inflection in his voice, and can often appear angry, hurt, or depressed because of this.
One Odd Fact About Her:
She loves to see things burn. She thinks that things are most beautiful after being destroyed by fire, but not if they're completely eradicated - she prefers things that are still easily identified as the things they once were, but just blacker and less solid.
One Secret About Her:
She adores writing stories. While most think of her as a very outgoing and sociable vaiki, she actually enjoys locking herself away from everyone - even her lovable cat - and sitting down to write for a few hours. She actually NEEDS this time alone to keep herself steady and normal in her day-to-day life. But because most vaikis think of her as gregarious and not so needy for peace and quiet, she's never mentioned to anyone the fact that she loves to create stories.
Medical Issues:
Stuttering
Weak Heart
Lavender isn't the bravest canine around, but if you ever need a hand she'll help you out! She hates that she stutters all the time, and has tried to fix it over the years...but she could never find a cure. She's been teased all of her life because of her inability to speak properly, and while she's normally happy and content, when she's being made fun of she'll burst into tears and cry for hours on end, becoming depressed and greatly saddened by her state of affairs.
Medical Issue:
Amputee
(Lost his back left leg in an accident. Now he has a bionic leg.)
Phobias:
Fear of losing someone who is loved. – Thantophobia
Fear of being alone. - Monophobia
Edward may be small, but he certainly isn't helpless. Strong both in mind and body, he can go against any foe and win. In a battle of wits, he creams his opponents. In a tangible battle of brute and brawn, he will usually win as well. He can often be found practicing his battle moves on his brother, Alphonse, who welcomes the challenge of battling his older - though smaller - brother. When just looking at Edward, you wouldn't think much of him. He's very small for his age, and is even shorter than his younger brother! Most people think of him as the younger brother, and he often gets annoyed with how many people really think he's a little kid. He just happens to be small, and he'll be the first to remind you that surprises often come in small packages.
Medical Issue:
Dissociative Identity Disorder (also called Multiple Personality Disorder)
Fern Frost
Grateful for her husband, thinks of herself as a burden, tries to keep her spirits up, sweet, caring, motherly, rarely gets angry, not very active, quiet, opinionated, passionate about a couple things, calm, helps others without expecting anything in return, great at giving instructions, loving, hates to see others in pain, reprimands if necessary, excellent at controlling her emotions, and hates backstabbers and those that betray her or her family.
Flannery
Cruel, vicious, lashes out at others who only try to help her, out of control, easily-angered, active, hateful of everyone, talkative, pushy, overly-opinionated, expects everything in return for nothing, insulting, doesn't care about anyone except for herself, lets her emotions control her actions, and doesn't mind hanging around the wrong crowd.
Abnormality:
She is blind, and needs a companion.
Chione was the darkest cub in her litter, and her parents literally pushed her away every time she came crawling back to them. The only reason she survived to adulthood was due to the kindness of two new Crystinalian mates, who could not have cubs themselves. They took her in and raised her, finding out about her disability later in life.
Being shunned from your family is a very lonely thing. Yes, Chione has her adopted parents, but she has no foster or adopted siblings. Her biological siblings won't speak to her - and on the rare occasion that they do, it is only to insult her and bully her. Her parents don't ever speak to her, unless she's standing in their way and they need to get through. Usually they just push her away and continue walking. Due to this, Chione's only friends are her foster parents, who take pity on her and try to help her in any way they can.
Abnormalities:
She has a white base. She also cannot reproduce naturally, as she was born sterile.
While Pardes may have a bark bigger than her bite, she truly is a fragile Crystinalian. Her feelings aren't hurt as easily as one would expect, but she's still more fragile than the average Cryst. She VERY easily gets depressed, and can sometimes be seen moping about, doing nothing productive, when she's feeling down.
While Chione is not her biological daughter, Pardes is just as protective of her as she would have been of her biological daughter. She loves her as much as she loves her husband, and is grateful for the opportunity to raise and take care of a Crystinalian who wouldn't have had a family otherwise.
She has PPS Syndrome, a very rare illness that afflicted her at a young age. The results of this sickness are prevalent in her body and form to this day, and will probably always leave the scars that mar her beautiful body.
Prudence, while enjoying the company of others, understands that most other Crystinalians don't like her, and for this reason, she usually will distance herself from others. She doesn't like being around others who make fun of her, or bully her, as most of the Crysts in her pack do. Being forced to estrange herself from others, she isn't as social as she'd like to be. She only wishes to have friends, but sees that this is an impossibility.
Prudence doesn't like living such a life of sorrow and sadness - she's very easily depressed, and has difficulty getting out of these sad times. She'll often cry herself to sleep. But when she's not feeling down in the dumps, she's one of the happiest Crystinalians you could possibly meet. She has an excellent look on life when she's uplifted and feeling glad; she'll often sing praises of happiness when she's euphoric, and absolutely loves making music with nothing but her own mouth.
The Thing That Annoys This Deerssert the Most:
Flying insects annoy Malt the most. He actually has two phobias: Entomophobia (fear of insects, particularly arthropods) and Apiphobia (fear of bees). On top of being afraid of insects - particularly flying ones - he honestly just doesn't like them. They crawl all over him, sometimes getting stuck in his syrup, butter, or other toppings, and then he has to try to pick them out. They annoy his skin, as they crawl into his fur. The bugs make him itch and sneeze, so he thinks he has an allergy to them, as well.
The reason for Malt's fear of bees and other flying insects is rational. When he was younger, he would often like playing outside in his mother's garden. One day, he had picked a bouquet of flowers for her, and was quite happy carrying them in his mouth, trotting into the house to place them in a vase. While Malt was carrying them, two bees flew out of the flowers and into his mouth, stinging the insides of his cheeks and his sensitive gums. His mouth was swollen for a solid week after that, and was quite painful. Malt now fears bees for the pain they inflict.
Malt's fear of the other flying creatures is more irrational. His phobia is something called "fear due to association." Because flies look like bees and they buzz like them as well, he fears them. Even though he rationally knows that flies can do no harm - other than being dirty and annoying as the flit about - Malt still fears them due to his feelings about bees. As for dragonflies, another insect he's not too fond of, he simply doesn't like the size of them. Where he lives, dragonflies are VERY large, and he happens to fear larger bugs more than smaller ones. Malt doesn't mind ants or ladybugs, but if he sees an insect larger than that, he'll do everything he can to get away from said insect.
Does He Have Any Phobias or Fears? If So, Why?
Phagophobia (fear of swallowing or of eating or of being eaten) - Dunstan fears being eaten. Being a delicious-looking deerssert, he's had many beings try to lick him or eat the fruit off of his back, and it irks him quite a bit. He doesn't want to be eaten, and this is clearly stated through his phobia.
While most of the time Dunstan is a great guy, he does have his moments of big-headedness. He loves outsmarting others and flaunting his intelligence whenever he gets the chance to do so, and will often play challenging games against newbies and cream them...just for fun. That slight downfall aside, Dunstan is very sweet and kind-hearted to most everyone he comes in contact with. He is very quiet by nature, though he does have his commanding moments where he takes charge. Most of the time he keeps to himself, though. He is very knowledgeable and extremely mature for his age, as he doesn't run or jump around or laugh giddily at what others have to say - in fact, he doesn't laugh much at all. It's not that he's grumpy or upset all the time - it's just that he doesn't feel the need to smile unless he's truly happy. Calm even in stressful situations, Dunstan rarely loses his cool. He's very mellow, and prefers to take life one day at a time instead of racing through life with a pounding heartbeat. He'll run alongside a friend for however many years he needs to, but on his own, he prefers to take life slow.
His left ear is completely deafened and his right ear is partially deafened. Having been born that way, he never knew what most things truly sounded like. Born with a condition where his bones and joints ached every moment of every day, he was done with feeling pain. The only time the pain ceased was when he was in the water - but not being able to hold his breath for very long had its disadvantages.
Short Story About His Past -
His eyes slowly opened. The streaming sunlight filtering through the leaves gently kissed his fur. He stretched, yawning widely. He shook to wake himself up, and then trotted out of the cave's opening, following the dirt road down to the waterfall. His heavy steps left a trail of paw-prints behind him, dust floating through the air from whence he'd come. He smiled as he gently stepped into the pool, the roaring of the waterfall so loud that it shook his chest. He took a deep breathe in, and submerged.
Under the water, things were completely silent, the only unpleasant sensation being a slight feeling of pressure on his ears. Such a change from the daily aches and pains, he thought, smiling. His eyes flicked open, and then suddenly narrowed. He'd sighed an eel, and darted after it, intent on catching his dinner. A few moments later, he was holding the limp eel in his mouth. He emerged from the water, and set the eel down on the shore. He then quickly turned back to dive under the waves once again.
Under the water, he dove down, intent upon trying to get to the bottom of the pond. He smiled, feeling a pull at his paws and tail. He swiftly turned, clearing the riptide that threatened to pull him deeper.
Suddenly, he was face-to-face with an angelfish.
He gently put a paw out, and the fish nuzzled against his paw-pads.
As the fish darted off, he realized he couldn't stay under for much longer - he needed oxygen. He sadly gave one last look around, and then swam for the surface. He wished that he would someday be able to live under the water - but he knew that would never happen. And that realization was perhaps the saddest thing of all.
Disabilities:
Vertigo associated with disturbances of labyrinthine-vestibular function.
These disturbances of balance are characterized by a hallucination of motion or a loss of position sense and a sensation of dizziness which may be constant or may occur in paroxysmal attacks. Nausea, vomiting, ataxia, and incapacitation are frequently observed, particularly during the acute attack. It is important to differentiate the report of rotary vertigo from that of "dizziness" which is described as light-headedness, unsteadiness, confusion, or syncope.
Medial Issues:
Polymyositis and dermatomyositis.
Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are related disorders that are characterized by an inflammatory process in striated muscle, occurring alone or in association with other autoimmune disorders or malignancy. The most common manifestations are symmetric weakness, and less frequently, pain and tenderness of the proximal limb-girdle (shoulder or pelvic) musculature. There may also be involvement of the cervical, cricopharyngeal, esophageal, intercostal, and diaphragmatic muscles.
....Weakness of your pelvic girdle muscles that results in your inability to rise independently from a squatting or sitting position or to climb stairs may be an indication that you are unable to ambulate effectively. Weakness of your shoulder girdle muscles may result in your inability to perform lifting, carrying, and reaching overhead, and also may seriously affect your ability to perform activities requiring fine movements.
Ordell takes his time in everything in life. And as much as he'd like to tell you this is by choice, it's not. Because of his medical issues, he HAS to move slowly, otherwise he'll go into an attack from his body being overstimulated. He also gets sharp pains constantly, and moving quickly adds to the stress on his muscles and other body parts that end up hurting worse should he move too much too quickly. However, slowing down and taking his time is something that Ordell counts as a blessing - before he was diagnosed, he rushed through life, and never took the time to look around him and appreciate what was always there, but he'd never noticed. After getting diagnosed, he looked at it as a new lifestyle, though not one brought on by voluntary choice. Without his medical issues, however, he would never have met his fiancée - and in that regard, he is grateful for his issues. Without them, he'd still be the lonely Viscet he was before.
12 of 20 is very intelligent. She strives to increase in wisdom and knowledge, and will often spend hours questioning or observing others to learn about them. She also adores computers, and will spend time on them whenever possible, searching the web for the questions within her mind that cannot be solved.
Because of this intelligence, she sometimes has difficulties communicating with others because her mind is essentially a supercomputer. (Example: "Oh, how are you today, 12?"
"Please redefine parameters. I do not know how to respond to such a poorly-worded question."
"How are you feeling today? Are you sick?"
"I am functioning well and at the highest level of efficiency.")
Because of her complex, computer-like mind, others may think she is insulting in her responses to poorly worded statements. She thinks just as quickly as she speaks, due to her brain working speedily on syntax and language...though she can sometimes sound robotic in speech, due to her strict terms about speaking. She doesn't use contractions (can't, weren't, ain't, etc.), so this may add to how robotic her speech sounds.
12 wasn't made for conversing in small talk...or conversing at all, for that matter. Given the choice, she'd decide to stay silent and communicate with another way other than voice. She knows, however, that speaking is the only way to converse with others, and conversing is the quickest way to get answers. Being an intelligent creature like herself, she understands that answers pave the road to knowledge, so she must do everything she can to get some answers to all of life's most difficult questions to answer...or just random questions that pop into her head.
Because of this lack of communicating, she may seem cold and harsh. She doesn't show her emotions frequently - in fact, she rarely shows them at all. While understanding that others may take this the wrong way, 12 doesn't know how to remedy the situation. She just knows what she's always known, and that is this: don't show emotion to those you don't trust. To those that you do trust, only show what emotions are necessary. She often seems uncaring and not compassionate, which is partially true. If something doesn't benefit her or her friends directly, she'll literally not care about whatever it is that's being spoken of or suggested.
Quite honestly, Quynh sometimes fails at staying calm. She gets stressed very easily, and then turns into a cat that won't be stopped - she'll run around, practically tearing her fur out, as she has a breakdown. She hates when these breakdowns happen, though, so she tries her hardest to stay calm in most situations.
Though she may lose her cool from time to time, Qyunh tries her hardest to stay on track and not get distracted. She can be very focused on the task at hand, and loves to work hard. She is happiest when staying busy and keeping to her strict schedule.
While not a natural-born-leader, she is the best second-in-command you'll ever meet. She adores helping others, and takes orders well (if they're from someone she trusts or respects). She would never dream of committing mutiny, unless, of course, it was what was best for the rest of the group of their leader was overthrown. She knows that in the case of the mutiny, she'd take control - which is something she'd rather not do. While she controls her own life very, VERY well, being in control of other beings' lives is a little too stressful for her.
Quynh is overwhelmed very easily. She often wonders if she suffers from too much anxiety. She happens to be a hypochondriac - a being who makes a molehill a mountain. She tries her hardest to not lose control over medical issues, but it's very difficult for her to get past certain ailments that may cause diseases at a later date. Her doctors tell her that she would have less medical issues if she didn't stress so much, but she honestly doesn't know how NOT to stress, as it's merely become an every day thing for her.
Phobias and the Severity of Each:
Aquaphobia - Fear of water - Mild
Arachnophobia - Fear of spiders - Moderate
Ataxiophobia - Fear of Ataxia - Severe
Tohopka is wary of humans, and is recluse by nature, but when he does come in contact with others, he tries to make the best of it. Tohopka is very good at solving his problems by himself, as he didn't have anyone to rely upon growing up to ask for help. He may have had a bad temper and tended to be antisocial, but after meeting his mate he became more open and trusting of others, though he still doesn't have a good opinion of humans and stays as far away from them as he possibly can. Tohopka isn't really a control freak, but the few things he does have control over he likes to keep control over. Because of this, Tohopka may seem demanding at times, but truly, he is just dealing with his issues of having control. Tohopka is constantly called anti-social and silent, as he is recluse by nature. Because of this, he isn't exactly gregarious - but if he warms up to you, he is plenty social, as he enjoys talking with others. Tohopka is a lot of things - one of them isn't graceful. He is not comfortable swimming, and doesn't do well with climbing. With his six legs he runs oddly, and he gets off balance quite a bit because of them. Even though Tohopka can easily be described as honest, he still has his secrets, and these secrets are ones he refuses to tell anyone - even his mate. While Tohopka can be vindictive when in a fit of rage, he generally lets bygones be bygones and isn't brooding, bitter, pessimistic, or resentful. He has struggled with depression in the past, and he knows that one can overcome it - but getting out of the melancholy moods is quite difficult without someone beside you to help you through them. While others do call Tohopka dangerous, he certainly doesn't categorize himself as such, as he counts himself gentle, even though he does have a bad temper from time to time.
Loyal to no one, Hellfire is tainted and twisted in nature. He is filled with hatred and enjoys making others suffer. He has a wicked personality and a sense of humor to match. His favorite pastime is throwing people's lives into utter madness, and wreaking chaos on the world. He loves playing tricks on people; throwing them into situations of life-and-death. Hellfire's favorite element is obviously fire, and he is nearly a pyromaniac. He'll often go long periods of time without doing much damage, but if something irks him or angers him, he won't hesitate to unleash his fury. He usually walks quietly, as he believes doing this will give him an advantage - if beings can't hear him, they won't notice him creeping up behind them. He's more of a recluse, and for good reasons - he's easily angered and tends to be very wary of other beings. Like a phoenix, he cannot die - he only regenerates. His companion is the God of the Underworld, Hades. Even without his companion's orders Hellfire will gladly wreak havoc upon the world. The flames that lick at his fur will not be snuffed out until Hellfire dies.
Disability:
Blind
Having been born blind, Caramel Crème Brule knows how to function in the world, with some minor difficulties. She doesn't necessarily enjoy being blind, and often wishes she could see. But, even though she wishes to see, she knows deep down inside that she cannot change being blind anymore than she could change her species or the design of her coat. Caramel Crème Brule understands that while being blind is a difficult thing to deal with - especially in regards to making friends - it is something that helps her to be grateful. She knows that being blind has affected her and made her different from others, mainly in that she sees life differently than anyone else she knows. Caramel Crème Brule uses her ears to hear, and she is known for being a good listener. She uses her nose to smell, and she can recognize scents quicker and easier than anyone else she knows. She speaks with her mouth, careful to be gentle yet firm while talking to others who may put her down or make fun of her for being blind. Caramel Crème Brule ultimately counts herself blest to be blind - she usually has an upbeat point of view, and tries to help others to see the happier side of life.
While she doesn't get into fights over being called names due to her blindness, she does stick up for herself, standing her ground when an adversary confronts her. Caramel Crème Brule finds friendship in other Deersserts who understand her - mainly Deersserts with disabilities themselves. She is willing to befriend anyone...but few are willing to befriend her. For this reason she's an outcast, and gets lonely at times. She sometimes feels despair, especially when her few friends are too busy to come and spend time with her. Most of the time, however, Caramel Crème Brule tries to be happy, helping others and being kind. She has the mindset of a giving being, enjoying helping others to see the silver lining of every cloud. Caramel Crème Brule is the kind of being who sees the glass as "half-full" - she doesn't dwell on her tragic past; she only looks forward to a better and brighter tomorrow, believing highly that if you've fallen, the only thing left to do is pick yourself up and keep walking forward.
Being entirely Deaf, Simeona's passion lies within her small Deaf community. She definitely has the opinion of "say it loud, say it proud!" in regards to anything in life - and this includes being Deaf. She will literally travel miles just to meet up with her d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing friends. She has hearing friends as well, but they generally just write back and forth with her, not knowing any other way to communicate, and it's a little harder for her to communicate with them than with her Deaf friends...but she doesn't mind having to work a little harder for her hearing friends, because she knows that they'll stick with her through life's ups and downs just as much as her d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing friends will.
Her job is writing and creating art for the blind. Deaf beings don't rely upon ridiculously bright and loud colors very often in their own lives, as they rely mainly upon sight and not sound (this is why most d/Deaf beings have accessories or clothing that are monochromatic - white, grey, silver, black, etc. - or solid colors), so working with a medium where she doesn't really need to concern herself with crazy color combinations seems to work best with her medical particularities. Her specialty is braille comic books, though she's also been known to help create paintings for the blind from time to time. When she does the latter of these two options, she deals mainly with adding the appropriate textures to the canvas, and works very closely with one of her friends who is blind, but also knows how to communicate with the d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing. In her work, she meets all different types of deersserts, and she absolutely loves the social interaction and being able to constantly meet such interesting beings.
Medical Issue:
She was genetically modified as a pup to forever be cursed with the ability to not only control water, but appear like water herself.
Dahlia doesn't really have a wild spirit, other than her innate longing to protect what is hers. She definitely is protective of the few items she can call her own, but this is mainly due to her unstable childhood. While she's not very old herself, her childhood was very traumatizing for her due to most everyone she knew turning against her and making her life miserable. Almost all of her cherished items from that time in her life were stolen from her later on, and since that point Dahlia has been SUPER careful with the items she does have, as she doesn't want some meanie coming along and stealing them from her again. Dahlia definitely can do the whole "mind over matter" thing. If she believes she can do it, she generally can. This has helped further her determined spirit and her stubborn attitude, and sort of plays into her entire personality and being.
Overall, Dahlia is very emotional and rarely feels safe. This makes her stubborn, determined, and very goal-oriented. She has a love for youngsters and is more peaceful, gentle, and rational than most pups her age. She is mainly graceful, though she can be a tad bit clumsy at times, depending upon the day she's having. Dahlia does her best to be courageous, and you can count on her to stand up for what she believes in. She tends to be very defensive and protective of her few items, and has been known to be extremely aggressive to those who try to take them from her - but if you prove yourself trustworthy, you'll have a friend in Dahlia for life.
Medical Issue:
After his death, he was granted the ability to go back to Earth and help others, but at a price: he will forever look like a monster, with multicolored fire flickering from his body and replacing his tail.
Hallow has always been a beautiful cat. While in his youth he flaunted his beauty, now he doesn’t put so much worth in his looks. After his transformation, he knows he looks a bit scary, so he never expects people to compliment him. When they do, he can get defensive and rude, for he sometimes thinks they’re lying.
Over the years, Hallow has become hardened and skeptical of others. He does still enjoy a good conversation with a good friend, but to find that good friend is a challenge for him. He doesn’t trust others easily – unless they’re children, of course – and will only get into a situation with someone if he knows he can get out easily, or if the person won’t cause him any harm. If you earn his trust, you’ll have his friendship for life. If you betray him, you’ll only earn his scorn and fury.
Hallow once got depressed very easily. He still gets sad from time to time, but has learned to show his sorrow in front of others. He has learned to push down his emotions and not think on them. Instead of letting them out, he simply stuffs himself with them, refusing to let them see the light of day. He doesn’t get mad very easily, but when he does, watch out! All that pent-up anger and frustration will come rolling out of him in waves – you’ll drown if you’re not careful.
Medical Issues:
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Survivor's Guilt
Bipolar Disorder
Phobia:
Necrophobia - Fear of Dying
If Elsie is anything, it's jealous. She is very easily turned green with envy, even if it's for something as stupid as someone else owning a better jacket than her. However, most don't know she's jealous due to her greatness at hiding her own emotions. She's very secretive, and rarely shows what she's feeling. This can often come back to bite her, though, as because she hides most everything, she has a nasty tendency to bottle up her emotions - particularly the negative ones - and then, when she's least expecting it, they'll fly out with fury and vengeance unlike that which anyone has ever seen. When she gets into a fit of rage, don't you DARE stand in her way - she'll take you down without a bat of her eyelashes. Stubborn and determined, once she sets her mind on something, she is never swayed from obtaining her goal - even if that goal isn't the most kind-hearted or heroic. With her quick wit and trickery, she often bamboozles even the best of people into believing she's something that she's not. She takes pride in the fact that she can pull the wool over anyone's eyes, no matter how un-trickable they may think they are. The only thing she loves doing more than stirring up trouble is watching others suffer from the chaos she's caused.
Elsie is very protective of the few things she owns that she holds dear. She is often borderline-obsessive over making sure that they're safe and sound - take, for instance, her collection of encyclopedias. Elsie has a thing for words and using new ones, so she absolutely adores her encyclopedias more than any other book she owns. She will often triple-check that they're dusted, dry, and safely in her bookcase before she goes to bed every single night. This routine of checking and re-checking and re-checking again can take up to an hour more than she intends - but she excuses her paranoia on the false pretense that "someone could have come in while I was in another room and destroyed them!" Her OCD tends to act up at the worst possible times, and she can often be found stressing herself out further by having to check, re-check, and re-check things over and over and over until she's completely satisfied that everything's okay.
Elsie is a poor, paranoid soul. She is wary of everyone, and trusting of few. When something absolutely horrendous does happen, she often blames others for her own mistakes. She'll never take responsibility for collateral damage, and won't really care if someone gets hurt...unless that someone is her very own self. She often has impractical solutions for things, and will go out of her way to do something the hard way instead of taking the easier route.
Medical Issues:
Perfume Intolerance
Balsam of Peru Allergy
Cigarette Smoke Allergy
Tacycardia
Phobias:
Claustrophobia- Fear of confined spaces.
Aichmophobia- Fear of needles or pointed objects.
Kakorrhaphiophobia- Fear of failure or defeat.
Somatra is very prideful. Even though she doesn't have a lot of money, she tries to give off the impression that she's well off in life. She hates pity, and can't stand getting "hand outs" from others. She can't stand it if people look at her in a weird way, as she knows that they are only feeling badly for her. She doesn't trust anyone for this reason, and can seem quite "high and mighty" if you talk to her. This is a sort of unconscious defense mechanism, as she doesn't want to admit that she needs help even with the most basic things, such as paying bills or getting enough food. Somatra walks with her head held high, even if she feels as low as a worm crawling on the ground. Appearance is everything to her, and Somatra believes that if one gives off a good impression that one can go far in life.
Somatra hasn't ever been really dependent on others, as she was abandoned at a young age and had to deal with the real world far earlier than one would normally have to. She is very self-reliant, and prides herself on being able to take care of herself without any help from anyone else. She hates asking for help, and makes a point of figuring out her own issues and problems. If she really needs to ask someone for help she will, but only as a last resort.
Somatra isn't always irritated, but if she's in a bad mood, she'll snap at you easily. Once angry or irritated, not much will stop her from going down a path of destruction. One of the few times she has no self control is when she's furious, and with her bad temper, this is more frequently than she'd like to admit. She frequently gets frustrated when having to deal with people whom she perceives as less knowledgeable than herself, and she'll often seem a little more harsh and demeaning towards these people. In general, she tends to have a bad attitude due to the low blows life has dealt her, and she can sometimes appear angry at the world because of this - but in reality, she is a very sensitive being who has a very hard outer shell that can be difficult to crack.
Medical Issue:
Cigarette Smoke Allergy
Phobias:
Claustrophobia - Fear of confined spaces.
Aichmophobia - Fear of needles or pointed objects.
Domino definitely is a different pup. Having a very rough and difficult childhood filled mainly with fear and violence, he has inner turmoil to this very day. He has gone through several difficult patches in his life, and managed to just escape the temporary darkness that threatened to overtake him at one point. During this time in his life - his tween and very early teen years - he spiraled down into depression, hating both himself and his life, lashing out at others and snarling at even the most loving of them until they left him alone. He spent most of his time in isolation, refusing to even interact with his family members. He dropped out of school, and packed up his things and left the only home he'd ever known, carrying his possessions in a orange backpack. He was homeless for about a year, surviving only because of the kindness of strangers, who gave him scraps of food to eat. One was even nice enough to buy him an umbrella, so he wouldn't continue to get soaked to the bone every night he had to sleep in the rain. Certainly, there were parks to sleep in, under the cover of trees...but most of the parks in his area had watchful guards that had rounds every single night of the week except for Fridays - on these days he'd camp out in the park and sleep, only to be prodded awake the next day by a different guard and kicked forcefully out of the park. Finally he came to his senses, and tried several odd jobs until he found one that stuck. It wasn't the best, but it was work. He mopped the public bathrooms several hours a day, and while it was hard work for little pay, he managed to save up enough to actually go in with two of his friends and rent an apartment.
Now years later, this experience has affected his personality in a VERY large way. He now knows that he can overcome whatever life throws his way, and he is intensely determined because of this.
Phobias:
Agateophobia - Fear of insanity.
Agliophobia - Fear of pain.
The reason he suffers with depression is simple, but tragic. He lost his entire family in a horrible accident when he was eight, and he still remembers the entire incident. He had been walking along the street with his family, just out for an afternoon stroll, when they needed to cross the street. Halfway through the crosswalk, a huge semi truck barreled into them, without any warning. No horns honking, no lights flashing - just the roar of the engine, a crash, and then blackness. Edrei did his best to push his younger twin siblings out of the way, and he did suffer the most injuries in the crash - but what he'd done wasn't enough. His older brother had managed to leap over to where his parents were walking - but that didn't help much. All of Edrei's siblings died, as did both of his parents. He was the only one left alive after the wreck, with serious injuries to all four of his legs and neck. Thanks to the excellent medical staff at the nearest hospital, he survived with minimal issues: his neck will sometimes stiffen and hurt, and the joints in his legs will ache and hurt terribly in the cold, but with medication and slowing himself down, he can get through life fairly easily, considering his circumstances. If you see him walking, however, you'll notice that he limps horribly - even though his legs are fine most of the time, they never healed perfectly, so most of his legs are skewed and not entirely straight, which then affects his gait. Because of all this, he struggled with depression for years, and still does, though it is now no where near what it used to be, so Edrei tries to count his blessings.
Medical Disabilities:
Intellectual Disability/General Learning Disability - Commonly called "Mental Retardation" - due to Pertussis as a child.
Bumble is easily awed. He finds beauty in the simple things in life, such as finding a new color that he likes, or watching a butterfly float past. His favorite month of the year is Fall/Autumn. This is because of all the new things that happen during this time - the leaves change color and start to fall off of the trees; the wind gets crisp; the weather gets chilly; and there are always new scents that are in the breeze. Bumble often will stand and stare at the trees in Autumn, counting how many leaves fall from the branches, or watching as the green color slowly seeps out of them. One of his favorite things to do is watch clouds roll by, or lay down at night and stare up at the twinkling stars. Often he'll just lay there, admiring the celestial bodies and the beautiful light that they emit.
Easily pleased and entertained, Bumble is a very joyous bear. He doesn't like to dwell on the bad things, so he figures out ways to be happy. He sees the glass as half-full, not half-empty. He finds joy in the little things, like finding flower petals or planting a tomato plant. He loves to eat, and often finds joy in doing this mundane task. He will often just smile for no reason at all, contemplating whatever his intelligent self can figure.
Medical Disability:
Strabismus/Heterotropia - Commonly called "wall-eyes."
Living through a hard life of bullying, Dominic is very understanding and gentle to those he meets. He's very calm and patient, and rarely raises his voice. If he's serious about something, he'll obviously become more empowered with his speech, but for the most part he's quiet. For these reasons and more, Dominic is very good with children. He loves to play with them and answer any questions which they have. He is a substitute teacher at a school, teaching only once every blue moon. On days he doesn't teach, he'll sometimes still stop by the school, eager to help the children learn and grow in knowledge and wisdom.
Dominic learned to protect himself, becoming quite good with a sword and shield. He enjoyed learning how to shoot with a bow and arrow, and he currently loves running - he learned to be steady on his feet, and accomplished much, even with his disability. He vowed to never let his disability define him - he promised to be more than just a label.
Dominic has sworn to not use his powers for evil - but that doesn't lessen the fact that he does have powers. The glowing ring around his neck is an easy way to tell this fact is true - the purple glow symbolizes royalty, and the actual ring is made up of excess energy. It snuffs out when he's asleep, but other than that, it swirls around his neck every hour of every day. If he drops something, and it hits the ring, it doesn't really do anything except slow down a bit. While being composed of energy, the ring doesn't destroy what it touches. Instead, it simply slows time down for a couple seconds, and only within the parameters of the actual ring of light, thus giving the illusion that the item that has touched it has slowed down. In reality, the ring slows time down, and the object is subject to that slowing.
Medical Difficulty:
Amputee - She lost her entire back left leg and part of her back right leg (transfemorial) to a tragic accident in her past.
Being abandoned as a kit, Themba tends to have trust issues. She doesn't think of herself as beautiful - while quite the opposite is true. After trying to look beautiful and putting a lot of effort into her appearance, she still felt ugly. After years of trying different "beautifying" tactics with no luck, Themba gave up. She no longer wears make-up, nor does she try to look even remotely beautiful.
She often looks in the mirror and wonders why she can't see beauty - all she can see is a scarred body and eyes full of regret.
Themba went to fight in a war. There, she had such bad injuries that she was forced to accept the fact that her legs would be better off her than on her. She had tried every last possible effort to keep her legs, and nothing succeeded. Only then did she relent and have surgery performed.
Sometimes, when beings make rude remarks about her amputated legs, she gets flashbacks to the instances which caused her old injuries. In these times, she can be seen staring off into space, a look of horror present on her face. These are the few instances where anyone can actually see what Themba is feeling - she's very good at hiding most of her emotions (other than anger, skepticism, and distrust). She often uses her anger as a cover up for her raging emotions underneath. While she may seem angry at the world, she truly is just hurting and lonely, not being able to find someone like herself who can understand why she is the way she is.
Medical Issues:
He has a dissociative disorder - specifically, depersonalization/derealization disorder.
Depersonalization-derealization disorder occurs when you persistently or repeatedly have the feeling that you're observing yourself from outside your body or you have a sense that things around you aren't real, or both. Feelings of depersonalization and derealization can be very disturbing and may feel like you're living in a dream....Persistent and recurrent episodes of depersonalization or derealization or both cause distress and problems functioning at work or school or in other important areas of your life. During these episodes, you are aware that your sense of detachment is only a feeling, and not reality. The experience and feelings of the disorder can be difficult to describe. Worry about "going crazy" can cause you to become preoccupied with checking that you exist and determining what's actually real....
He has anxiety attacks and panic attacks.
A panic attack is a rush of intense psychological and physical symptoms. These symptoms of panic can be frightening and happen suddenly, often for no clear reason.
Panic attacks usually last between five and 20 minutes, and although it may feel as though you are in serious trouble, they aren't dangerous and shouldn't cause any physical harm. It is unlikely you will be admitted to hospital if you have a panic attack.
You may feel an overwhelming sense of fear and a sense of unreality, as if you’re detached from the world around you.
Phobias and Severity of Each:
Moderate - Achluophobia - Fear of darkness.
Moderate - Agoraphobia - Fear of open spaces or of being in crowded, public places like markets. Fear of leaving a safe place.
Mild - Aichmophobia - Fear of needles.
Severe - Amnesiphobia - Fear of amnesia.
Mild - Astrapophobia - Fear of thunder and lightning.
Moderate - Nyctohylophobia - Fear of dark wooded areas or of forests at night.
Moderate - Pistanthrophobia - Fear of trusting others due to past experiences with relationships gone bad.
Lamar, as much as he may hate change and doesn't like it when he's not in control of something, actually likes adventuring from time to time. He is actually rather agile, and can be courageous when he puts his mind to it. When he gets an inkling to go out somewhere, he'll take a buddy and go either rock-climbing or swimming. He loves water more than anything, as it seems to calm him down and keep him regular and feeling normal...so he'll do this even if he can't get a buddy to go with him. But for something as risky as rock-climbing, he ALWAYS makes sure he can grab a friend's paw and drag him or her along, as he refuses to do this more dangerous activity alone.
