Rukami #95 - closed

Rukami (Gulo Stantes) are a newly discovered species of bipedal mammals. Though they resemble wolves, they are actually more closely related to the mustelid family, which includes wolverines, otters, and badgers to name a few. Through natural selection, these rare animals evolved to incredible sizes and developed sentient brains along with opposable thumbs.


I love how this turned out, simple with a wicked hairstyle. Tell me what it treasures most to win.

Feel free to pretty up your forms, please not too much though.
Only ONE extra.
I'll be judging this mostly off what it treasures and a creative name.
If extra is art, only one piece. If it's a story, make it short, I'm not a fan of reading lengthy things.



Winners are posted on page 2

Wolf Shadowstalker

Name:
Calisto, a name of Greek origin than means "most beautiful."

Gender:
Male

What does it treasure?:
Beeswax, because it's the thing that works best to keep his hair stylin'. Plus the honey he can find along with it resembles his gorgeous golden eyes (though, in his opinion, it doesn't hold a candle to their splendor). (As you can see he's VERY vain XD)

Extra:
(Nothing at the moment, maybe I'll think of something later)

Name: Adaira [Ada -e-ra] means something like 'born from awe'
Gender: Female
What does it treasure?: She treasures the memories of her beloved mate she lost a long time ago
Extra:
Adaira was a young and beautiful female Rukami, who loves to chat with others and lead the pack to hunting grounds and safety if something happens. One day she allowed a 'kami family to join her pack. Two adult ones and their kit (a younger but adult male one) joined her and were also very hepful, when other 'kamis got sick or can't hunt because they got hurt. She got closer and closer with him but never felt love for him. Every night they tell stories to each other, protect themselves in danger and help each other, when they have to climb rocky terrain or a deep river. One day the male 'kami proposes his love for her but she rejected him... she was never sure if this love would last long. She also never thought that friends yould be a couple and 'love each other'. Their ways got seperated since then but she never stopped thinking about him. One day the family had to continue their travel and that's when she saw him the last time... so she thought. At a rainy day Adaira checked the edges of her territory and recognizes that the river had very mich water because of the mountain next to it. Suddenly she heard a scream next to her. She ears searched for the point it came from and finally discovered a yound 'kami kit in the fast and rough waves, who is trying to hold his head up the water. It's mother was trapped because her foot was lammed between two fallen trees near the river. Adaira didn't wait one second and jumped, climbed and ran untill she reached the point were the little one was. She didn't find anything she could use to safe herself from the waves but she didn't want to let it drown... that young life... without thinking she jumped into the river and tried to catch the Kit. Befor she got near it a wave pushed her head under water but she was able to orientate herself again und reached the kit. It was full of panic and it hold thight on her fur on the back. She searched for a tree trunk, where she could get the kit in safety and finally there was one. Adaira uses all of her powers to reach it and let the kit climb on it so that it is safe from the waves. Now she was in danger baucause higher waves pushing her back and also trees fall from the amount of water between their roots. She swallowed a lot of water and her powers were gone... her sight got worse so she just saw some shadows. Suddenly a strong jaw got her on the neck and pushed her out. As she turned around she saw, that it was the male 'kami, who left her pack a while ago and who was the best friend she had. Before she could say anything a giant mammoth tree trunk got washed away from the high waves and took the male 'kami with it. Before it has reached them the male one pushed her out of the way, so that she didn't get hit. Adaira reached her paw in his direction but she couldn't find him. She lowered her head in sadness but then she heard something's moving between the tree trunks. She hurried to the them and removed some thiner sticks... finally she saw her head but she also saw, that his life glowin his eyes was very small... he mind already has told her, that he will be dead soon. Her fingers touch his mane on his head and she tries to comfort him as long as he breathes. She felt a great pain in her heart... could it be? Now she was sure... the unsureness she had a while ago was just the feeling of love in a females heart. As she recognizes that he looks at her she whispers him something in his ear that made the male one smile. But in the next moment he closed his eyes and did his very last breath... Till that day she hold on the feelings she had with him and she regret it, that she rejected him because she didn't know the true feeling of pure love.
(I know nobody wants to hear it but english isn't my first language and i tried to make a story, which doesn't sound like... you know...anyway i hope it was comfortable to read : 3)

Username: Raegami

Name: Brutukus
he is also called by a few different names:
Golden eyes - is his most known name.
Brutus - a tough name for a tough be knowledgeable brute like himself
yeux d'or - which is french for golden eyes
kuldne silmad - which is estonian for golden eyes

the name sounds tough, when really is the mind who uses it.


Gender: Brute

What does it treasure?: Knowledge and everything that comes with it -- knowledge is something to cherish, no matter how strong and how powerful you are. knowledge in the end will always prevail. even if your bigger than someone, you must have knowledge to know your weaknesses, and others' weaknesses can be used to your strengths, given the knowledge to see it. so no matter what happens along the way, knowledge will always be your best asset in a battle, conversation, relationship, anything, everywhere, anytime. what we know can help or harm us, depending on the user seeking it. but also, the ability to reason, and have wisdom comes with first understanding knowledge.

Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.
by Kofi Annan

Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
by William Shakespeare

Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.
by Plato

Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
by John Locke

Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.
by Peter Drucker

A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers.
by Plato

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.
by Charles Spurgeon

All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.
by Immanuel Kant

Username: NARANDA
Name: Aria
Gender: Female
What does she treasure?:
Aria treasures the light, not only the visual light, but also the mental light.

History of Treasure:
Aria was a kind child, but her looks turned others away. They saw her as dark and evil, the way she walked, the way she talked, the way she wore her hair, and even the colors of her fur. She was cast into the dark emotionally, fear of those around her took over her mind and she avoided other creatures, keeping herself in the dark, mentally. She hated the dark, but did not know where to turn, no one helped try and pull her back into the light.
A black furred paw finally reached out to her within the darkness, pulling her out. Nekura helped show her the light, the positives that Aria has to hold onto in an attempt to prevent from falling deeper into the endless void. Like the black Rukami before her, she found something to help her and remind her to hold onto the light. She keeps it hidden in a box though, away from prying eyes that may try and take it away from her. She would do anything to prevent those feelings from once again breaking into the gate of her heart, sending her back into the void of darkness.
