Character being adapted:
Marcus Warke
Link to original character application:
Marcus Warke
Name:
Mark Whiskers
Age:
6 months (19 years for a mouse)
Gender:
Male
Species:
African Pygmy Mouse
Size:
10 grams and 7 centimeters long from nose to tail.
Notable Features:
A dark bluish patch between the ears, caused by an ink stain. Otherwise, a regular dull brown.
What would other characters know about you?
A mouse whose cage is stored on a bookshelf, and can often be found curled up asleep on one when let out by its owner.
For Contest Entries Only:
Marcus Warke can easily be described as 'quiet as a mouse', and generally, would be found with a book in his hands. Mark whiskers follow this by having his enclosure near books instead, and by actually being a mouse.
In addition, Mark Whisker plays the role of the mouse in the Aesop's tale, "the Lion and the Mouse", where he plays the unlikely help for those much stronger than him. Marcus Warke likes to help others, despite his weaker stance and would be suitable for this analogy.

Character being adapted: Charles Castello
Link to original character application: LINK
Name: Charles
Age: 5 years old
Gender: Male
Species: Lutino Cockatiel
Size: 30cm from head to tail
Notable Features: Common traits of cockatiels. His full plumage is a very light yellow with spots of grey at the top of his crest, his face being a darker yellow, and the red-orange 'cheek patch' around his ears. Outside of the common appearances of this variety of cockatiels, Charles has a noticeable scratch on his beak.
What would other characters know about you?
Charles started out as a house pet, practically born and raised by an owner until recently when he was abandoned for reasons he doesn't know. Relatively independent, one of his major flaws is that Charles actually cannot fly. Having lived most of his life in the home along with flightless animals, it... didn't seem to occur to him that he can fly. Or that he's a bird even. He uses his wings like gliders and to help him jump high places but there is no flying for this one.
Despite having been raised in captivity, Charles had managed survived the last few months of his life in the streets, both though competition (to which he almost broke his beak for) and charitable help from others. No one has taken him in since then. He seems rather irritable. And also pretty irritating.
For Contest Entries Only:
History :: Counter to his history of being banished, the 'owner' is a representation of his former goddess that ultimately left him to fend for himself in front of the God of War and Fire. His case as an angel, he refused to accept that his goddess would have left him on his own simply because of the heirarchy but, in this case, he simply doesn't understand the reason because... well, he's a bird.
Inability to Fly :: His injury to his wings and inability to fly isn't an injury but more of inexperience. Which is afunny terrible trait to put on a bird that's been abandoned into the wild. Despite this, he doesn't ask for help unless it was offered because of his pride.
Personality :: Charles remains to be consistent with most of his personality, only becoming more competitive due to survival demands. His competitiveness is only fueled by his need to be "above everything" which isn't really far from Charles as an angel.

Character being adapted: Asger Kleonidas
Link to original character application: L I N K
Name: Sir Asger, Hamster Knight of Fluffydom
Age: 2 years old
Gender: Male
Species: Golden Hamster
Size: Asger is about 5.4 inches in size from head to the end of his tail.
Notable Features: Sometimes he is in a hamster ball, it makes for quick mobility after all and is a great “shield”.
What would other characters know about you?
Sir Asger, Hamster Knight of Fluffydom is one of the bravest little hamsters there is. He is also very quick on his feet and is known to be able to get in very high and strange places, such as the top of a refrigerator.
Though spoiled by his owner, Sir Asger, Hamster Knight of Fluffydom is a very loyal hamster and always can be seen with them as their brave little protector.
For Contest Entries Only:
Sir Asger, Hamster Knight of Fluffydom parallels Asger’s personality in real life. Asger is one of the bravest and nicest person anyone could meet.
Also much like real life Asger, Hamster Knight fur is a very beautiful golden color just like his hair in real life.

Character being adapted: Lorencia Hel'Sarie
Link to original character application: Lorencia
Name: Lorrie
Age: 1 year
Gender: Female
Species: Abyssinian Cat
Size: 1.5ft tall, 2.5kg.
Notable Features: Lilac fur, has a small flame-shaped pendant around her neck with a thin chain.
What would other characters know about you?
Lorrie would be known for her playfulness with other pets. She'd usually find a way to sneak out of the house and go exploring and then find her way back home again when she's done or hungry. She's also known to play with birds, but doesn't try to actively hurt them. This goes for most animals that people would think cats could just eat. Some of the other pets might know that she was adopted from Egypt when she was six months old.
For Contest Entries Only:
Like Lorencia, Lorrie is playful, adventurous and full of energy. She sees the world as a place to explore, but doesn't go too far without someone being with her. She has been imported from Egypt along with her cousin and brought to the same household. To her, her new home is a whole new world, with different climates and a slew of different species being kept as pets. Just like her real self, it's easy to tell what she's feeling, and she's mostly the happy and contented sort, showing affection to everything close to her, and she's not shy about doing so, but would blush if cats could blush.

Name: Dev
Age: 1 year 2 months
Gender: Male
Species: Abyssinian Cat
Size: 2 feet, 3.5kg
Notable Features: Faded blue fur, has a snowflake-shaped pendant around his neck with a thin chain.
What would other characters know about you?
They'd know that he was adopted from Egypt along with Lorrie when he was 8 months old. He's calm to the point of being seen as lazy, but sometimes follows Lorrie around whenever she escapes. He doesn't make much noise and he's careful about disturbing anything in the house.

Character being adapted: Jackal
Link to original character application: App
Name: Jackal
Age: Eight Years
Gender: Male
Species: Crocodile Monitor
Size: Is seven feet long. He big. His tail is more than half his length though.
Notable Features: Quite often sits with his head at an angle, his entire body curved into the position he was kept in his tank.
What would other characters know about you?
Crocodile monitors should not be pets, and yet some people try and keep them as such. Considering that seven feet long means Jackal is actually stunted, most people can figure out he was kept in a too small space. His temper and hatred towards humans is justifiable to most, although he tends not to be hostile towards other former pets.
For Contest Entries Only:
Rather than hating 'murderers', Jackal instead hates humans, like those who kept him in his far too small enclosure. Despite being a predator, Jackal won't eat former pets, mirroring his protection of 'innocents' in canon.

Character being adapted: Lochlann Cabyll-Ushtey
Link to original character application:
http://159.65.241.122/index.php?threads/lochlann-cabyll-ushtey.3682/
Name: Lochlann
Show Name: Haze’s Lady Killer out of Land of Lakes
Age: n/a
Gender: Male
Species: Horse; Friesian Stallion
Size: Standing at over 18 hands high, Lochlann is an impressively large stallion. However, he has dropped to approximately 900lbs, making him below average in weight for his breed.
Notable Features: Beyond his pitch black coat, large size, and remarkably silky mane, the most notable feature on Lochlann is a jagged scar over his chest.
What would other characters know about you?
Lochlann is a show horse known for his speed and grace in dressage and flat racing. Lochlann is known for being both peculiar and aggressive with not only his riders, but other people and animals. He has bucked, bitten, and trampled many riders and has a tendency to drive other animals out of his paddock.
He tends to be more cooperative with women riders, earning him his show name of “Lady Killer.”
Lochlann was recently retired from racing after a serious injury that leads to the fear that Lochlann might suffer an aortic rupture. Since he is no longer supposed to be running, other animals have tempted to breach his pasture. Those who got to know him realize that Lochlann is very lonely.
For Contest Entries Only:
A Friesian Stallion is the loose inspiration for Lochlann’s horse shape as a cabyll-ushtey.
His show name is a reference to his canon character (one meaning of Lochlann can be interpreted as “man who comes from the land of many lakes” and the “lady killer” being obvious of itself).
Aortic ruptures are unfortunately common in Friesian Stallions. It is quite likely that Lochlann the horse will die from a literal broken heart, while Lochlann the SA-student will probably die from a metaphorical broken heart.
The scar that Lochlann-the-SA-student bears is a mark of his love interest, Guin, claiming his life as her own; the scar that Lochlann-the-horse holds is a representation that his owner spent enough money ensuring he would live, marking his life as her own.
As a cabyll-ushtey, Lochlann-the-SA character holds more predatory characteristics. However, he still holds true to “running away from his problems” until he’s unable to anymore. As a horse, Lochlann-the-horse is now literally unable to run away from his problems.
Both are pretty males that happen to really love giving small women piggy back rides.

Character being adapted: Lysander Hesperos
Link to original character application: http://159.65.241.122/index.php?threads/lysander-hesperos.16077/
Name: Imp
Age: 3 years (young adult)
Gender: AFAB Male
Species: Singapura Cat
Size: Scrawny and underfed, small even for his breed (one of the smallest domestic cat breeds), weighs about 4lbs - kitten-sized.
Notable Features: a few scratches - a little rough looking - clearly a stray. Distinct silvery colouring and greenish eyes.
What would other characters know about you?
Imp has been a stray since he was old enough to walk. The runt of the litter - the rest of his family are housecats who he doesn't interact with. A scrappy, violent little fighter, even a little sadistic towards his prey. But friendly to other animals. Defensive about size or being called female. Aggressive and snappy towards being touched.
For Contest Entries Only:
Still asexual - a little more overtly violent as a cat. Not starving themselves but still small, annoyance at being the runt. Dysphoria comes from being born the wrong gender rather than being a lust demon. Doesn't have the long history or quite as troubled past with relatives, but thinks a little less of housecats.

Character being adapted: Ildefons Draganarakta
Link to original character application: LINK
Name: Elric
Age: 4-5 years old. He doesn't really keep count.
Gender: Male
Species: Egyptian Mau
Size: Medium of 7in at the withers, 9lbs, slender but surprisingly a bit muscular
Notable Features: Appears similar to most Maus, with silver-colored fur and his breed's natural spots, the dark dorsal stripe along his spine, and the 'scarab beetle' on his forehead. He shows signs of lack of human grooming--very obviously a stray. He also seems to stalk more rather than walk.
What would other characters know about you?
Elric, as he is more commonly known, is nothing but a lowly street cat. He's been in the streets since he was a little kitten. He might have been in a family once but that's already far behind him since he ran away. In the streets, he's known to be pretty fierce despite his size, prone to attacking people and causing trouble. Not a lot of people want to own him because of how unfriendly he is, but they give him food because... hey, he's a cat. Cats are cute.
