NUMBER THREE

Child Name: Up to Adopter
Gender: Up to Adopter
Species: Hybrid (Hooded Pitohui x Cerberos)
Appearance: Lastly, this hybrid appears in both size and shape like a polar bear for the most part. It has stark white fur and a dark grey belly, with a massive set of forepaws. It also has two pairs of deep red eyes, and a crown of crimson feathers upon its head. Towards its hind end is where there are problems: This massive creature has no hind legs, and in their place are useless wings that will never grow large enough to support the weight of this creature. It also has a long, sweeping fluffy tail tipped dark grey. Its ammolite stone is placed just behind its shoulders, a massive protruding spike.
Element: Energy
Stone: Ammolite

Development Notes:
I'm going after three because I had the idea for him, since he has no back legs; I'm really interested in that, and if I get him, I intend that to be an aspect of his development. Such a heavy polar-bear body with a heavy coat, but no back legs, will be something he has to come to terms with early in his life, and stay to terms with. It will be something that he's insecure about. If he has to drag his body around, the abrasiveness against the floor will cause injuries. Over time these will scar and then callous, but I don't see this ever being particularly comfortable. Thus, Scarsborough will have to be adaptive and figure out methods of moving that don't involve dragging himself unless absolutely required. I was thinking some of the earliest spells he pursues will be related to this-- though spells are unreliable because they might fail, so I was also thinking of having him pursue the building of some device to keep him off the ground and mobile. That would involve a PC, ideally, and a few threads IC where they try to work out the problem and eventually build a thing to do so. :3

Regarding personality; as a child, he'd start out being more demanding of the world, with less control of his temper. Life is going to START pretty demanding for this little dude, because he'll have to deal with the back leg thing pretty quickly. Sooo he'll start with a bit of a chip on his shoulder against the world in general. I don't think he'll be aggressive or anything, but he'll probably be more easily frustrated and will snap at people more easily than when he's become an adult and gotten the hang of being alive a bit.

As an adult, he could go two ways, based on the influences around him. I can see him mellowing and becoming more accepting, being a fairly positive and nurturing person (For certain values of nurturing; he would stay sarcastic and probably mildly grumpy). I can ALSO see him going in the other direction and being just angry fierce grumpdefender sort. SO that would depend on what he's exposed to, and what parts of his nature he's encouraged to indulge. :D


RP SAMPLE (hatching)
When Scarborough found the world, he found it dark, and dank, and gloomy.

Canis was not the warmest of places, literally or metaphorically-- fresh from the chrysalis, tired and wet and gasping, it made for an overwhelming place to hatch. Having managed to flop directly into a puddle probably didn't help either; the chill water leeched into already damp puppy-fur, making the newest addition to Origin shiver in the low light. The world was still resolving itself before Scarsborough's many eyes; sight came slowly as all four red orbs adjusted to the light in front of him, turning shapeless shadows into distorted shapes.

The first thing he saw was the teeth of a giant skull; his chrysalis had formed among the alien bones littering canis' floor, and he'd hatched in front of a particularly fearsome skull. Upon realizing what it was, Scarsborough jerked back, all four eyes wide, pushing himself up onto his forelegs for the first time. Tired as he was, they were strong enough to hold him, strong enough to give him a look down the long bone-muzzle, down into empty sockets that nevertheless seemed to look at him.

That was a frightening first thing to see.

But it wasn't alive, even if it seemed to be. He shuddered, nervous, and tried to back up further, away from the skull's "line of sight", so he could see around where he was. This proved hard; already, his trunk was bulky and uncooperative-- backing up to a certain point only unbalanced him, making him functionally trip over his own tail, little back-wings flapping wildly in surprise as his very-very-fresh sense of balance failed him. He fell over backwards, onto his back, cringing as the movement dislodged a few messy bones among the strata. Those bones clattered among others, shifting and falling over, pushed by his abrupt accidental movement; the noise was deafeningly loud and startling to such young ears. Surely, others had heard that. Surely, others would know that he was here, that he had hatched, that there was another new gembound in the world.

He gulped at the thought, staring wide-eyed at the ceiling as he tried to work his way through the problem of movement; he wasn't sure if it would be good, if others did hear him. He wasn't sure they would be friendly, or what they would be at all, and that was not a comfortable thought. At the very least, he wanted his front legs back underneath him, whenever someone did find him here.

QUETZALCOATL Always? Forever. | Zanya | Number 1 | Genderfluid | Commonly Referred to as Zanya Development through in character interactions has the possibility to change and shape her personality, but these base characteristics are likely to remain in tact throughout her childhood and adult life. Raised along with the companionship and/or rivalry of her brother, Zanya is the embodiment of calm. Nothing is able to displace her mantle as she maintains a level head in regards to even the most hostile of situations. She is not easily goaded in to stooping to the level of cowards and idiots alike and would prefer instead to combat with reason and logic. This eerie calmness does not interfere with her lust for justice and she is willing to spill blood to see that fairness is served, whether or not it is considered the right thing to do. There is no anger in her vocabulary. Ferociously loyal towards her family, she will not stand by as those she cares about are put into harms way. Happiness is a big part of her life and is certainly something that she experiences, and as a hopeless romantic she is hard up in trying to find someone who appreciates her the way she appreciates them. Even if it appears she is a somber beneath all her calmness, she is actually friendly and happy to share in a joke with others. In relation to her physical deformities, she finds no direct challenge in movement snaking along the ground with the muscle tone to raise herself up such that a cobra might do. There is some bitterness towards having no appendages that may lift or move objects around easily. Situational Personality Traits - Should she get along with Number 2, her devotion will be in them and help him overcome his blindness - Should she dislike Number 2, she will watch over him in order to ensure he doesn't do anything to upset the balance of Origin cave or break what she considers the "law". Will make her slightly bitter towards those with good sibling relationships. - Should she find out about Number 3, she will attempt to reconnect with him and bring him back to Maji Walezi making it a minor mission in her life possibly to consume he - Could possibly end up joining Children of Rot if plots lead that way? In other words she's not going to be restricted to just Maji Walezi but it's unlikely she would ever go off and be a loner. RP Sample: Elongated body was pressed hard against the ground as in front of her danced the mutated figure of her own sibling. Just as she, their DNA had not intertwined nicely and had left them with crippling deformities. There was some pity for her brother, as he appeared to suffer the most in regards to his appearance. Mostly though, she figured he would have to handle himself. Two sets of eyes blinking in unison, she raised herself up so that her higher set of wings was raised off the ground. Coiling her body underneath herself, the mixture of a bark and a chirp was almost strangled within her serpentine throat. "We'll call this a draw for today alright?" Play sparring was becoming a more serious and potentially threatening endeavour. Both had almost tripled in weight and she had no intention of causing grievous harm to someone she cared about. Besides, she wished to speak to Leon about her position within Maji Walezi. The trial system intrigued her, especially in regards to her matriarchal connection to it.
