chubby pubbies [CLOSED]

FYI - I am a big advocate of letting things happen IC, so if some things on his app are basically a "maybe" - that's why (:



Name: Poetry then Epic
Sex: Male
Design: #3 then #17 - I would change #3 to have eyes like Poem if permitted
Appearance: While hard to believe when first born, the boy will end up as tall as his parents, topping out at 42". He will be lean and muscled like his father, but the mass and tone of those muscles relies upon just how much he trains. His fur is plush and silky, a contradiction of what lies beneath - though scars may very well accent his unblemished form once of age. Paws will be large and calloused, almost a badge of honor for a young man to show his experiences both in spars and exploration - even if he's the only one that will see them.


The boy's base coat is a familiar color from his mother, a dove gray morphing to slightly darker areas from his face to his tail. The soft gray gives way to white at his chest, underside, each paw, and tip of his tail. Dark gray caps off his muzzle and reaches up between striking eyes, making a point at the center of his brow. The same gray cover each ear, and appears again on either side as an interrupted tendril reaching back to his spine. A pool of this dark gray settles at the base of his tail and drips down the fluffy appendage, ending three-quarters of the way down. From the base of his ears, a dark ebony runs down to outline each shoulder and make a loop at the bottom of his chest. In the sun, this color just might show up as a deep navy instead of true black. This color also appears in the form of a slash on each front leg. Meanwhile, the authentic black appears as the trademark swirl of the Destructions on each haunch reaching down to his ankle. Beneath each inherited blue and lavender eye are his mother's markings, but oh-so subtly maroon.


His father's genes are a dominant feature of the boy's coat - his main color is the same deep red. Along his sides and down his back and tail, soft stripes of coal and gray wrinkle through the maroon, almost mimicking moonlight on water ripples. The crimson fades to black at his underside, the fringe of his haunches, and down each leg, while his ears stand stark in black. His features are surrounded in that same black, the color reaching up from his muzzle to sweep beneath each eye and peak at his forehead. Doze gray blazes directly from his nose, and appears again upon each eyebrow. Each soulful, red eye is underlined in the same gray, and may enhance the expressions of his many emotions. Beneath this line are freckles of gray that reach out to the border of his black features.

Personality: Perhaps a bit chaotic good when young, then maturing to Neutral Good. Through and through, Poetry/Epic is a momma's boy. If Poem lets him, he'd be velcroed to her side from the moment he could walk. He would learn the traits of his family from her - optimism, compassion, how to protect his family. When a little older, perhaps dad can instill his own traits within the boy with more success - loyalty to those that matter, and how to have fun! Poetry will pick up his mother's serious side early on, and perhaps even be a bit of a custodian to his siblings, making sure no one gets hurt and to break up any disagreements swiftly. Once Sparhawk's energy rubs off on him though, he will learn how to temper his somber tendencies with his wild puppy energy and curiosity. His father might be so successful at reaching Poetry's/Epic's fun side that he will be at war within himself when he grows older - to be serious, or to be fun? This will no doubt cause some awkward situations as he grows up, trying to navigate emotions as a young adult and learning that there are times to be fun, but also times to be serious.

Poetry/Epic will no doubt wear his heart on his sleeve, and have a hard time not allowing each emotion play across his features like a theater show. Lying will be such a foreign concept to him, and will cause some issues until he learns that sometimes, lying isn't all bad - sometimes, little white lies can save a friendship. His curiosity streak will be a permanent fixture in his life, often causing him to pry much too far into someone's personal life, especially strangers. This could even spill over into personal space as well, considering how chummy his family is. Trial and error is something that the boy will quickly learn is a undervalued life skill and will help hone his social (and fighting) skills as he grows.

Skills: Aiming for fighting and intellect, but may switch over to hunting and intellect depending how his childhood goes.
Plans: Planned nicknames for Poetry: Po-Po when little, advancing to Poe when he's older. Definitely want to work on whichever skills he ends up having, with lots of training with his family and the pack as a whole. I'd love for him to find a puppy best friend somewhere so that weird teenage feelings can cause some drama and see where that goes. Eventually find a raven companion, which will compliment his personality at the time - maybe be a bit annoying at first but grow to love it. He will definitely want to prove he's an asset to the pack and want to work up the ranks regarding his preferred skill. He will absolutely have to get into some mischief with his siblings while they are still young (would plot with those players obviously).
