Stubby tail?: Milk I'd know for being a curious fella, this eyed him in a sticky situation with a fox! After being chased by the fox, he was caught in a hunters trap! Thankfully it was just his tail and he escaped with only losing the fluffy tail and not his life.

Name: Artimas

How He got His stub tail:
Its a simple story really, so much so Artimas often embellishes what really happened to make it sound more interesting, sometimes saying things like, "I fought off a grizzly bear! yeah you think this is bad? Ha! You should see the other guy!" Truthfully he just caught his tail in a car door and had to have it removed as the bone was simply to smashed to repair.

Name;michael

How he got his stub tail;
Michael always wondered how he got his stumped tail when he was little,
He noticed his father had a stubbed tail, as well as his grandpa, except his mother had a normal fluffy tail, and curiosity got the best of him.
He wouldn't ask,until one day he finally asked his father.His father explained to him that through out generations the men of the family have passed on their stubbed tails, generation to generation, making it their natural trade mark within the family.Michael felt proud that he was honored to have such a stubbed tail, making his tail seem more beautiful to him than ever,Michael used to think it was a burden,but after knowing why his tail was so odd,makes his tail even more special through his eyes.

Name; Arkaich
Gender; male

How he lost his tail:

It was a dark and stormy April night and the sky was covered grey by mass amounts of clouds. Amid the darkness and sound, a young Aeris dragged himself up a hill, determined to make it but exhausted from the journey. With each step his legs trembled under him, but still he pressed foreword. It felt like hours, though it was only a matter of minutes, until he was finally halfway. The Aeris paused and looked up at the top of the hill, his eyes hazy with exhaustion. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky and struck the tree which stood firmly on the peak. The tree groaned and creaked before bending towards him. Arkaich's fur stood on end as the trunk began to snap and fall towards him. Still determined to reach the top, he began to run sideways up the hill, hoping to get out of the way, but his lack of energy made his movements slow and sluggish. He seemed to be moving in slow motion as the whole world around him rushed by. He tried to run away, but when his paw collided with mud, the mud slipped beneath him and took him down with it. He flailed and dug his claws into the soft earth and came to a rapid stop. When he looked up his eyes widened with horror and he ducked his head down as the tree bounced from the ground right before him and flew over him, just missing the tip of his tail. Slowly, he stood up, his chest heaving and his body trembling. He began to walk again, digging his claws into the earth with each step as the mud around him slid past rapidly. He kept his eyes to the ground as he walked and did not think of the distance or how fast or slow he went. About fourty minutes later, he arrived. The Aeris collapsed onto his stomach and heaved out heavy and humid breaths. He rolled to his back and gazed up at the sky as the raindrops fell to him. He laid there without speaking a word, just watching the heavens release their water. Finally, after ten minutes, he got to his feet and began to dig at the very center of the hill. He dug for some time, the rain making the ground softer than usual, until he finally reached it. The gleam of the cylindrical white stone shimmered up at him from the light of nearby lightning. He gazed at it in wonder, his head hovering over the stone. It began to hum and he listened, curiosity taking hold of his body. The hum grew louder and louder, but by the time he noticed why it was too late. A lightning bolt ripped through the sky and struck the back of his head before exciting through his lower jaw and striking the stone. The shock caused him to collapse and his body erupted into violent shakes before unconsciousness came.
They found him that night, unconscious but not dead, atop a hill. When they arrived, the hole was buried and there was no sign of rain. They took him in and worked to find the problem and fix it. A single Mark was beneath his fur on the back of his head which showed where the lightning entered, and his examiner grew concerned. He began to test his limbs, hitting each one in the proper place to find if they worked. However, when he struck the tail it did not respond. Understanding overcame him and he slowly reached out to grab the saw.
She Arkaich awoke he knew two things: 1. He was not at the hill. 2. He could not feel or see his tail. Concern grew within him as he looked around inside of a white tile room. He got to his feet and tried to walk but a chain around his neck kept him close to the center of the room. He began to panic a little and walked in circles. As he did so, he watched for his tail. When he could not see it he twisted his body to look. He felt his blood run cold as he stared at a lump with white bandages on it. His tail was gone...

[Dismal.]

name; Asher, meaning happy or blessed.
how he lost his tail; While the story itself sounds painful, it is quiet boring. When he was little, Asher did what little aeris do, and got into some trouble. He had pulled out the drawers of his dresser to form a ladder to the top. Half way up the dresser tipped forward and Ashers tail bent at an odd angleunder the weight. The result, was it needed to be amputated.

aeris' name: aspen
how aspen lost their tail: thunder crackled in the background, causing aspen to burrow deeper into his bedsheets. he whimpered lightly, watching the lightning paint his wall white, followed by a deafening boom. the aeris closed his eyes, clenching his teeth and gripping the bedsheets in terror. through the hard rain tapping on his window, he heard a small squeal, loud enough to get his attention. aspen blinked and cautiously rose from his large pile of pillows and covers that he'd built to protect him from the storm, and made his way to his window. he looked outside and saw a small ferret, huddled underneath a few leaves next to a bump that an ant could call a cliff. he felt his tense muscles relax. i can't leave it out there- it'll die, if i dont do something! but.. what if i was electrocuted? what if i had to go to the hospital and have all of those needles put into me? he began to argue with himself until he settled with one dangerous option. no. it needs me. i-i'll go out there and help it, even if it means losing my life! he told himself, acting braver than he was. he grabbed a flashlight, a raincoat (that covered him completely), and a frying pan. the frying pan was to scoop up the ferret, in case it had something such as fleas, and to keep it away from him, in case it became hostile. he marched outside, his hood nearly covering his vision, with his flashlight on the brightest setting and his frying pan at his side. he raced into a bush a few feet away from the ferret, careful not to scare it any more than it already was. he gently reached out the frying pan and scooped the long noodle into the pan, holding it close enough so he could examine it. something was slowly forcing it's eye shut, it's claws were dull, and it was almost a complete noodle, it was so thin. he furrowed his brow and covered the pan with his long raincoat sleeve. he looked up to the sky questioningly and saw lightning flash right before him; it lasted too long, and the sound scared him half to death, he nearly dropped the pan. he ran as far as he could, making sure the ferret wasn't bouncing around while he did so. he paused as he realized the rain had gone down to a few patters on the leaves. he looked behind him anxiously and, sure enough, his house was nowhere to be found. tears pricked his eyes as he anxiously thought, what if i never see home again? what if i cant treat the ferret in the wilderness, and it dies right in front of me? oh no, oh no, i let my fear get in the way and now.. the aeris paused, looking up at the treetops. "i'm lost," he finished his thought out loud. he looked down and, for the first time in forever, he didn't flinch when he heard the thunder boom throughout the forest. he sat down and sighed, staring at the ferret. he noticed it's gaze, wandering off behind him in a wide-eyed trance. the aeris looked at it questioningly and quietly murmured, "what?" he glanced behind him and shrieked, clawing the pan handle. fire lit up the scene behind him, dotting the trees as the flames grew larger and larger. the rain simply wasn't strong enough to put it out, and soon, it would be a wildfire. he looked to the side, desperately wishing the fire hadn't crossed over to his side, but sure enough, it was surrounding him. aspen looked around and spotted a small gap in the flames, where the embers hadn't touched one bit of the trees. without thinking, the aeris raced through the gap and looked behind him, hoping the fire had only been in the one spot. he turned back and slammed into a tree, dropping the ferret's pan, as well as the ferret. he slumped down and cried out as a long, flaming branch landed on his tail. his rain coat burned and burned, the smell of burning fur terrifying him to death until he slowly drifted off.

when aspen woke up, he was laying in his own bed, in his own room, in his own house. he turned and saw there was no forest in front of his window, just a long, empty path with leaves entirely covering the ground. he felt strange; he felt fine and all, but something was off. he turned back to his nightstand and saw a big cage set on a low table, pushed against the wall. he peered inside and saw a small, brown ferret, cuddled up against the glass. his eyes widened as he recollected last night's events; everything was burnt down to a crisp, or at least, he assumed, since there was no forest, and he just past out during the middle of it. he shuffled out of bed and tried his hardest to lash his tail, or at least slam it against the bed (as he usually did), but, no. nothing. just a small fuzzy stump. he remembered how pained the ferret looked, and how calm it looked now. he gently smiled, despite having no tail, he still felt as warm as ever. he saved a ferret's life.
(totally sappy and terrible, i tried, i couldnt remember the original ending so.. ;_;)
