Ickle Graham is about to emerge into the caves, and I am so excited for this. I want all the threads with all of you. <3

A bit about Graham is that he's a derpy, dopey Saint Bernard. He's pretty big from the get-go, with over-sized paws that he continually trips over. About the only thing that isn't big about him is his brain...but he's a sweetheart so that makes up for his not being the brightest light bulb in the box, right?

He's a prokaryote element, and he's going to inadvertently be Cujo (only not maul people), accidentally getting people ill. But he means well and really just wants to help you. Unfortunately, he's going to take a really long time to get a handle on this magic business.

Any and all ideas are welcome! I know I talked to Madison about some plot ideas, but I really want Graham to meet a whole bunch of different characters and get shaped by them. He's going to be pretty easily molded, but he's got a good heart and a hard head so hopefully the little guy won't be completely corrupted. =P

I am all for literally any/all of my weirdos meeting precious pup omg. ;;

Booker here loves kids, and is currently living as a tea-making nomad in the middle of the woods. (Like a total dork.) He's had some bad experiences with prokaryotic Gembounds, but maybe meeting a babby can help him get over that? :^D

Adeyemi probs wouldn't be a good choice, unless you want conflict! He's a power hungry warmonger who values physical/mental strength and fire spells over everything else~

Fleur would be interesting. 8) She's also a prok, but is more deliberate about making others ill! She's currently being trained by Diamondfang to become an assassin, but as of now is still very much a naive babby who is mostly just curious about others! (She's also pretty much mute for the most part, as her jaw and skull are partially fused.)

Czernobog is an animalistic big pig who protects Cetus and basically views any moving thing as either an intruder or a meal, but he does need more friends... so if you want a fairly mindless ball of fluffy murder!

Moana is water-bound, so that don't work well, but Eosphoros is a deaf bard who loves making friends and singing as loudly as possible! He basically travels around making things glow and belting out poetry, lmao.

Yess <3 Magdalena will teach him all about his magics and use him for evil, ye? >:) Of course, until somebody comes in and rescues him, maybe? :O

I'd love to meet him on any of mine, as well!

Dragon - Cetus - This big alligator would probably try and take Graham in and look after him, maybe teach him to hunt. He'd also try and integrate him into his group on an IC level, though you obviously wouldn't need to do that OOC since he's a damn cultist. Not sure what he could provide aside from hunting skill and letting the pup befriend some wannabe villains.

Giggle - Canis - She's a hyena, and she'd be a motherly type, probably likewise look after Graham and maybe tell him a fortune or two. If he cared. I mean, do derpdogs like fortunes? If Graham's a little older she can provide some development via the fortune; if not, maybe a little encounter with things-that-look-evil-but-aren't.

Black - Cetus? - a large black mastiff (kind of bandog/old neapolitan/cane corso type). Empty, stoic, very much the old guardian mentality with almost zero emotion, would probably be hilariously inept at looking after a puppy for any length of time, just staring at him and standing way too close. I'm not sure what he could provide in the way of character advancement, aside from even the derpy pup eventually assuming Black is an idiot x)

Feral - Eridanus - a completely feral dingo. She can barely speak, if at all (unknown yet) and I haven't had much chance to develop her but she's pretty much a playful canine with any other canines, especially smaller ones. Having her try to be motherly for awhile might be interesting! Or, at least, big sister. She could provide maybe fun, some 'growing' and some family?

I have a few others but they're more wrapped up in plots, and thus might drag Graham in:

Khloros - Eridanus or so? He's a sickly deathpony who probably wouldn't provide much; he's quiet and gentle, so he'd probably just nudge the puppy around awhile, maybe chat to him. He couldn't even teach him to hunt ;(

Beast - Orion - a white lion cub who's essentially a slave of a mad stag who hates carnivores. Visiting Beast has a lot of potential to show Graham that there's severe cruelty in the world--but also risks him being taken by the stag as another slave.

Dark - a Great Horned Owl who lives in and around Pisces, and erm. Probably can't do much useful. He's blind. He'd probably touch Graham's face with his talons and then try to give him to Maji Walezi (the group) as a new member, lol.

Booker - I'm not sure how well he can help with the whole perception of prok Gembounds, since there's a good chance of him inadvertently infecting him with something nasty, but...he'd at least feel bad? xD Plus, I think any interaction would be adorable due to the size difference. Maybe if he ended up getting Booker sick it could be a catalyst to him seeking out others who could help him learn to use his powers better! So I definitely want a thread with these two. (:

Adeyemi - Would probs scare Graham, tbh. xD

Fleur - Omg, they would make really cute friends. He'd never really understand why she would want to hurt others but he probably wouldn't even realize how deliberate it was for a while.

Czernobog - I just have this mental image of him nomming on Graham and Graham thinking he wanted to be friends or something and trying to nom him back. xD Although that would probably end a lot worse than that haha.

Eosphoros - Graham would be totally transfixed by the glowy-ness and probably join in with some singing. :D

So maybe Fleur or Booker first and then we can visit some of the other possibilities? I can see those going the furthest instead of just silly. =P although I greatly enjoy silly as well

Mag - I seriously love this plot so much, ahh. I think it'd be best if he inadvertently got a couple characters ill before they met, though. That way he can already feel bad about it, mention it, and then she can offer to 'help'? c:

Black, I'll get to you tomorrow, it's getting a bit late and the boyfriend's getting antsy for sleep....what is sleep, even? <3

Ooh, I'd absolutely be down with him accidentally infecting Books. 8^O He needs a catalyst to learn/develop the spell Immunity, and that would def work! And yes the size difference would be absolutely adorable. ;; Book loves his Huge Friends lmfao. Threads must happen~

And we can def thread him with Fleur! <3 She needs more actual friends (who don't want to, y'know, use her, lmao)! Actually thinking of that, whenever she figures out that she doesn't honestly mean much to the MM, she might try to warn him. :-0!

Yeah I'm definitely down for that!! Maybe she could be there for his hatching, mention off hand her brand of magic, so that he'd know to seek her out later on? :O

Dragon - I totally want a hunting lesson between the two. I feel like Graham might be a bit slow on the uptake, so any help would be great. Could also be entertaining seeing a saint bernard puppy trying to hunt like an alligator. lol.

Giggle - Ooh, a fortune would be great a little later. Maybe that helps him realize how he's being manipulated! also he's forever to be known as derpdog now haha

Black - THIS WOULD BE CUTE. XD Graham just rolling around and trying to get Black to play with him, and Black just makes sure derpdog doesn't end up killing himself. Graham gets attached for some reason despite the awkward and just pesters him, or maybe he does end up thinking he's an idiot and tries to switch their roles and take care of him. xDD

Feral - Yes to big sis <3 I feel like they'd be really cute playmates. :3

Khloros would probably just make him sad, or maybe he'd think it was his fault he was sickly. D:

Beast - Hmm, later on I would actually like Graham to meet him. But maybe after he's big enough to actually make some sort of a getaway from being taken into slavery. xD

Could we get Fleur and Mag both into his hatching thread, perhaps? Where are they right now?

They'd both be in Monoceros, so that would be perfect!

here have some characters

Fisher - Is almost always with Black, and loves dogs :D He needs more lil' puppies in his life tbh

Kerberos - Kerberos is a big huge three headed puppy (he's 3 cycles now but he's still basically a puppy) and he plays v nice with smaller puppies!! he's basically a huge dumb but he's got a heart of gold and even though he likes eating other gembounds he has a very strong moral code and tries to protect everyone from everything
(also giggle is his mom, so if you ever want to meet giggle kerb can bring him home ;D )

Nemesis - if your puppy spends any amount of time with Magdalena he'll probably run into this huge rhino who probably will have no idea what to do with him. even with louie and magdalena trying to make her sick she's never gotten very ill and it would be hilarious if he managed to make her sick for once

Bevy, Talat, and Dovefeather are also here if you want to look at 'em :D I'm up for anything really
