“Just remember, the same as a spectacular Vogue magazine, remember that no matter how close you follow the jumps: Continued on page whatever. No matter how careful you are, there's going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn't experience it all. There's that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should've been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That's how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice. None of this matters.
We're just warming up.”

Why do you want to adopt?
I have always had a love for rats and wished I have gotten on in real life the day I turned 6. Sadly my parents and sister are very against keeping rats and mice, though I don't understand why. Anyway when I found the this adoption I decided it was best to at least almost have one of these wonderful animals untill I can move out. =3 so here I am! The reason I decided to do this little man is quite simple. I am very into mythology and love everything to do with it. This rat shows basically everything I love about history and hoped I might get the chance to have the little guy.

Rat Name:
Mercury { ouo saw that coming! }

Personality:

Audacious:
This buck seems to be very confident and self assured in everything he does. This means that he seems to pick fight with many other rats and takes a higher position in his eyes, compared to the others. Also he is very nasty when it comes to rats comparing themselves to him. Though this high energy rat can share a cage and area with another if the rat shows absolute respect for Mercury and always seems to be a push over. Though in some ways this makes Mercury well liked because his nature to be a ruthless leader that never backs down to a fight. Well known this also makes him a target for other rats wanting absolute power, and a very high status right away.

Cocky:
When Mercury shows his power over another male rat he seems to strut around his head held high and hangs with other high ranked rats to show how he thinks he needs to be placed. Resulting in his chatting himself up most of the time. Including unrealistic stories of his winnings that he make sure spreads around. All though its very wrong and frankly he has no power over the others Mercury never fights young or female rats. Only mature bucks like himself looking to pick a fight with the mighty Mercury himself.

Stubborn:
Mercury is a very stubborn rat, its his way or the high way. He doesn't take to nicely to being bossed around or told what to do, and gets very mad when you move him around by force. This is mostly why he gets into many fights. Even though this rat is stubborn he loves the thought of chance, for better or for worse. Many think he is bi-polar also but we don't have enough proof to classify him as a absolute pi-polar rat. Other then that he can be a fairly nice rat if your willing to be flexible and follow his choices.

Quirks:
It has been taken note of that this rat seems to like certain things much more then others, most are not suprizing due to his origins but some are a little shocking. To say the least below are listed two of these odd connections.

Seasons:
Odd as it is this rat seems to be thrilled with the idea of change, the seasons are a example of this. Mercury seems to have a different out look on all the seasons, all the reactions are very positive. He like Summer the best though and watches through the windows for hours and seems lively and thrilled. Spring he seems calmer and tends to hang with the younger rats, teaching them fighting moves perhaps. Fall Mercury is very lively and gets into many fights challenging almost all the bucks (not the ones higher ranked them him though). Last but not least in Winter he sleeps a lot and almost never picks any fights.

Orange:
Also a little alarming is this rats love for the color orange. Many times if you bring Mercury a orange object he will stow it away somewhere in his cage and jump around looking very thrilled. Also he won't attack any rat the obtains the color orange, its almost as if he has some kind of respect for the lively color. Even odder Mercury loves the taste of dried orange peels though he only gets them as a special treat most of the time.

What do you plan on doing with your rat?
I plan on writing fan fictions about my rat, and maybe having some willing artist also do some work on him. Also I might do a wee bit of art but no promises that it will be posted on here. =)

If you feel you can no longer care for your Rat, will you return it here to find a new home?
Of course its my duty as a responsible owner to return my rat if he is needed to be returned.

Art and/or Story:
Fear, what a common word, made for the weak and a laughing image for the brave. To admit one has fear is almost to admit a weakness what makes you a easy target, what keeps you from living to the fullest. Truthfully the word fear itself makes me have hope for a better word a less weak, less honest word to describe ones true feelings. None of that matters now of course nor will it ever in the eyes of this generation, which worries the deepest of us. So go ahead tell your fears let your fears race through your body in your dreams, invading almost all your inner thoughts.
Running, always running, but from what? What made me run, was it my common instincts sent here to drive me to see the truth in this world or something else, something deeper, something that could make the bravest man shrink into the shadows. I asked my self this question everyday, it was a sicking thought being weak and not knowing why. I felt lost and scared though a hated to admit it, but I was young back then seeping in the thoughts of what could have been, more likely what I could have been. For now I was just a rat meant to have a great destiny but with no were to live it out. The simple question as those bring pain to my mind as I stared through the bigger window watching the leaves fall from the trees. They had lived out there job, what they were meant to be. I was just a rat sitting in a cage watching the outside world fade away, further and further every day I stay in this place. Thoughts cramped into my mind to the point it was painful to do the simple thing, as if blinking was another way of torture on my poor body. You get use to the feeling of being watched all the time after awhile. That is why I wasn't annoyed when they found me and brought me here. It was simple, but in the same way complicated why I was brought. Sometimes I wonder if it wasn't out of self pity and there common good. If i'm nothing more then all the other rats here. Clamping my jaw tight I fought back the memory that haunted me constintly. Almost being suck out of my thoughts and sent back to the present, relief following. Stepping back I jumped off the wooden structure that most rats knew as my 'throne' I simply just referred to it as my 'hut'. I was attracted to it by its darker orange coloring and had battled the rat inside it for my keeping of the little 'hut'. That rat had been taken last week so I didn't have to worry about stealing eyes much anymore. Looking around I made my way toward the food bowl a few rats stepping out of my path. Instead of thanking them I would polightly nod and keep lumbering toward the bowl. It was near night so the lights were dimmed and no lab coats were in sight. This is the time most fights happened were the darker rats could jump me while I couldn't see there faces. Tonight it was quiet, not the quiet were you get parinoid, but the quiet were you can hear rats getting settled for the night. Also you could hear hushed conversations meant for certain ears only. Padding down to the food bowl I smiled sheepishly as I spotted a hidden sunflower seed. Grabbing it I made my way back to the 'hut' and settled in for the night.Light filtered through the trees as a rat passed through the brambles making his way he was a solid deep grey color his eyes shined blue making himself and Mercury look as if they were different beings. He wore nothing but a silver plate across his back holding various designs and swirls. It had been rumored this was the keeper of dreams and the rat responsible for lost hopes. He had watched Mercury since the day he was sent 'away' from there land. Walking on a thin line of the two futures that could do with this young rats choices. Mercury stirred in his sleep as the bigger rat came to confront him in his dream, clamping his eyes tight together.As the two rats met the smaller more colorful one let out something that could relate to a snarl "Why have you come here Xion haven't you done your job. I was found and taken as your so called tellings predicted." before the rat could add on the grey one waved his tail uninterested at what the rat he knew as Mercury had to say. "You act as if I'm a enemy not a friend, did it occur to you I was here to give you what you always have wanted. Power?" the grey rats tone sounded very deep and raspy compaired to Mercury's smooth and higher pitched voice. Opening his mouth to say something the younger rat clamped his jaw down tight letting his sharp gaze lay on Xion's looking for signs of his truth. "Watch for a girl with hollowness in her eyes" with that the older rat turned away without a look back at the shocked Mercury. Blinking his eyes open Mercury about let out a cry as a shot of pain came from his jaw, untightening his jaw right away. "How is a girl going to give me power." Mercury frowned and peeked out were other rats were awake chatting about the simple things. "Hollowness in her eyes..." he said thoughtfully hungry for more power. Then he curled back up and awaited for this foretold girl...
