Prompt: Though being blind could be perceived as a con, Vega has taken it all in their stride. They remain calm and content through most situations, both nothing gets them more excited than fungi. Mycology has intrigued Vega since they were a pup, as soon as they smelled a mushroom, they would race off to locate and study it. By study, they normally meant eat, and regret it later. Their patches of speckles come from rolling in and consuming fungi over the years. No one quite knows how or why they survive eating so many mushrooms, but it allows them to pursue their passion, so no one questions it too much. (110)

Name: Rune
Gender: Male
Prompt: This doodle dog has a knack for echolocation! When they click their tongue they can listen for the sounds that echo back towards them from any nearby object. Not only is this a neat trick in general, it's also extremely useful for them due to the fact that they're blind. Echolocation helps them move about the world much safer than they would if they were simply blind, without any help!

Prompt:

magic tricks

This young pup is great at magic! he enjoys presenting
his antics to his younger siblings, and friends! He is
still practising though, so sometimes his tricks are,
mediocre, lets just say that. His favourite sort of tricks to
do are partner tricks! he love to exaggerate and have some fun
when he presents the tricks, and always wastes time chatting
to the partner, who's suppose to have a magic trick done
on them. There hasn't been one time where his 'audience'
hasn't had to tell him to stop chatting about with the person
'on stage'. This all started with his dad presenting a cool
card trick to him. Ever since then, this silly guy has been
obsessed with the wonders of magic!

[Cactologist]

Username: Cactologist
Name: Sprite
Gender: Male
Prompt: From the moment he was born, everyone knew Sprite was different... special... chosen. He was born blind, and while that would normally make some steer away from him, it actually increased his oddity and fame. You see, Sprite has never slept a wink, and now he's way past puppy-hood. Gossip has it that he actually is constantly sleeping, because all he can see is darkness so he has no reason to close his eyes. If you were to ask him, though, he would tell you that he doesn't see only darkness, but instead beautiful sights and unparalleled wonders in indescribable colors. These "dreams" as his friends refer to them lead to his talent: predicting the future. More specifically and ominously, though, he predicts bad events that are to come. Everything from crimes to natural disasters, deaths, and illnesses, he sees them as we see the world around us, except he sees them before they happen. While this may scare some, he has grown used to it and has been able to save many lives and prevent many accidents. The only problem with this miraculous skill is the unpredictability, though. His "dreams" come sporadically and about random Doodles, even some he's never met. If he were to ever be able to master this, though, he could be wildly famous, even more so than now. Ask Sprite, and he will tell you that being born blind was the best gift he could ever have received.

[kl • ruya ] | [meaning ' vision ']
[prefers to be called ' Ru ']
Gender:
Male

Prompt:
Ru was born into the world with perfect sight.
Newborn puppies are usually born blind and helpless, but not he-
He was " blessed by the deities " as his mother called it, and was
his father's pride.

One day, he discovered that he had another gift- clairvoyance.

The strongest both physically as well as mentally among his siblings,
Ru grew up to be well known amongst the village dogs. Even the
humans that would pass from time-to-time knew about him and his
extraordinary gifts, and would seek the advice he could give them.

Unfortunately, although he was loved by many, this love and praise
did not apply to everyone.

His dear little sister, who he cared for deeply had a seed of jealousy
planted a long time ago. She wanted powers of her own, and thought
it unfair of her older brother having his own. So her solution was to
blind him. She knew his primary source of clairvoyance came from his
' gifted sight ' and thus, she carried on with the deed.

Rattled to the very core with shock from his dear sister's betrayal,
and ashamed at having lost his powers, Ru ran from his village as
best as he could without his sight. He didn't lose it completely, but
he could no longer make out comprehensible images. To him the world
was now just a blur of colors, blending into the darkness.

Far from home, Ru wandered the land with no purpose. Rumor has it,
he can be spotted wandering the forests around the mansion to this
day. Still searching for a new purpose to fulfil.

Username: aglet
Name: nova
Gender: male
Prompt: [word count: 197] What’s so special about nova is his ability to produce bioluminescence. Bioluminescence is the emission of light by living organisms, and nova is able to make himself as well as other lifeforms bioluminescent! When he walks the pads of his paws leave a trail of glowing blue and purple on the ground, or whatever he touches for that matter. A touch of his nose to a water source can cause the water and organisms to glow brilliant colors. The lick of his tongue can make his or others fur glow. The light he produces is best seen at night time when all is dark and the glow he gives is prominent. Nova’s favorite thing to do with his bioluminescence is to tell stories. By drawing on a surface with his paw he can illustrate a story, telling tales to the younger pups in his community. If he focuses hard enough nova can emit particles of bioluminescence from his fur, allowing it spread around and give others a beautiful glow too. Because of his luminescence, he loves to go on walks at night, finding new places to light up and new doodle dogs to share his power with.

Name: Remiel
Gender: female
Prompt:

Contrary to belief, Remiel wasn’t so different than all the other pups. Sure, her eyes looked a little different, and yeah, her markings were kind of unique, but she like how she looked! Her eyes were dark blue, ethereal and other-worldly all the same. Her markings glowed and sparkled, as if the galaxy poured their souls into making her. Finally, the wings. Her wing-shaped designs were what seemed to put everyone off, they looked too distinct, too real sometimes; and, okay, that was understandable, she had gotten quite a few stares and comments about the ‘marble designs’ and ‘angelic wings’, but she was normal! Sometimes. Other times, her marks glowed and her eyes blew up in blue light. Yes, she was normal – her normal; and that’s all she would ever want to be.
