Child Name: ???
Gender: ???
Species: Hybrid (Least Weasel x Armadillo Girdled Lizard)
Element: Prokaryote
Stone: Cinnabar
Description: This hybrid is rather diminutive, barely the size of finger's joint at emergence, and only growing to be four inches long. It is just as light as they are small, and can easily be picked up in one hand. It's appearance, aside from a few pointy bits, is very reminiscent of its stone-giver: a warm, dusty brown cloak covers the majority of its slinky-esque body, save for cream undersides and banded quills on the nape, shoulders, and rear. Lighter scales mark its cheeks, form ears (which are more suited to low tones and vibrations than actual sounds,) create a flexible shell on its back, and a somewhat armored and pliable tail. The tail is tipped in a keratinous scythe, though it is hardly sharp and doesn't contain any poisonous substance. Forepaws have long, padded toes and hooked claws for quick climbing and clinging to stones, while the hind paws are simply padded like a weasel's. Its teeth are very small, close to the tongue. While it has a capacity to consume meat, its definitely more suited to hunting down insects.

The gemstone is embedded deep in the flesh of the esophagus. The stone itself won't hurt. Symptoms of mercury poisoning* will gradually appear and build before, unless somehow treated, causing this gembound's death at 29 cycles.



* The stone itself should cause little discomfort apart from the physical presence of a rough rock in the flesh of the throat. The building mercury poisoning will cause nerve damage to the extremities (limbs/tail) resulting in numbness, weakness, and potentially pain in those areas. Neurological symptoms include impairment of inhibition & memory, with confusion, anxiety, and difficulty seeing, hearing, and speaking all resulting. This gembound will eventually suffer from frequent rapid heart rate, weakness, rash and skin peeling, and flushing, before their death.

Sorry for the wait, but we'll be adopting this lil baby out! If you're interested in grabbing it, please fill out the form below! We'll be announcing who will take it a few days before hatching.

We'd prefer if the child isn't taken and planned to turn evil/insane. Of course, if a plot turns them that way, that's up to the adopter, but we don't want them to be defined by a crazy mental illness or the like not caused by the mercury poisoning.

<b>Character Name:</b>
<b>Personality:</b> (doesn't have to be exactly 200 words - an overview is fine)
<b>Writing Sample:</b> (as the character)

Character Name: Echen
Personality: Stubborn at the best of times, outright a brat at the worst, but for the most part wholly neutral. This can be mistaken for intense apathy. This hybrid, however, likely cares a bit too much. They carry the same needy, insecure traits as their stone-giver, but the restless empathy of their live-giver. They are, for the most part, mute, but are totally capable of speech and may choose to talk to people who they feel particularly comfortable around, or when they have something incredibly important to say.
Writing Sample: will write when it's not. 4am
