My cousin Nidy had a good idea when she added links to friends of the family. Here are links to their petsites!
note: not all of them have been modified... I'm guessing most are still the default site, but mentioning them means I may possibly call in future favors.

Iceman181 If you need to pull a prank, talk to him.

Cleo_46901 About what you'd expect from a Baby Aisha. She is cute and she KNOWS it (and takes advantage of it!)

Psylocke181 was a Lab Pet. I don't know if she (or he) is still a regular visitor there, but she(he?) is still worth meeting!

Jubilee_181 gets into trouble... without even trying. Poor Jubs!

Marja ... just be careful around her. She's been the scapegoat of so many practical jokes that she's very very touchy...

MikhailAldones is not nearly as polite as Nekulvor--he's picked up some bad habits--but he's a great fellow to bother when you're bored!

Lightning Lightning is going to be a lab pet I hear... good luck :D

Hello. My name, in case you had not already noticed, is Rhapscallyon. It is perfectly acceptable to refer to me as "Rhaps." In the event that you are woefully unobservant, I am going to state the obvious fact that I am a Mutant Lupe. My owner is Rayinte, and I have many many relatives. The entire left bar is comprised of links to their various sites. It is reccomended that you visit those sites.

... of course, only AFTER reading through mine.

In the future, I expect Ray will draw a picture of my Petpet, Tor Teiran. However, until then I will have to describe him.

He is a Bearog. Go look for them in the shop wizard.

Oh, you were expecting something more detailed? Fine then.

Ahh. Here is the tardy picture. Bearogs are small dun creatures. I said "dun." Not "dumb." No, I did not say "dung" either. "Dun" is a color. Go look it up if you must know. Unlike the average Bearog, however, Teiran has recently been painted Black. The name "bearog" is derived from a mixture of "bear" and "dog," and indeed that is what they resemble. Imagine a chihuahua. Imagine three teddy bears. Imagine that the chihuahua had three heads, and each of those heads was like that of the teddy bears.

Needless to say, Bearogs are quite front-heavy. Teiran is prone to tip over. I find it amusing, his little scrawny back legs kicking at the air and all. However, due to his numerous protests about my laughter at his expense, Ray has devised special weights that keep his hind legs firmly on the ground. Alas.

I recieved Tor Teiran within several days of my joinining Ray's household. However, being a Neoquest fan, I was disappointed to find that Bearogs do not come in the color black. At the time, they were only available in Dun.

Shortly afterwards, Cobralls were released in a variety of colors. Teiran happened across an individual Cobrall who lived in one of our NeoGardens. They hatched a scheme and approached Ray.

As a result of this scheme, Teiran was sent into the Gallery.

And I was given Whyre Azura the Cobrall. She was later painted a lovely shade of blue, courtesy of a Blue PetPet Paint Brush. Obviously, it is the only way to paint a Petpet blue.

Meanwhile, Tor Teiran plotted, in his comfy cushion in the Gallery, and Azura wove a fog in my mind, making it hard for me to remember Teiran, and keeping my unknown but growing power in check.

Rememeber, at that time I was only recently into my powers as a Mutant Lupe. Shortly after my arrival, I was given a Shoyru Transmogrification Potion, which Ray expected to last a few days until she could afford a Lupe Transmogrification Potion. This process was sped by a friend's generous donation of one.

A week later, after Teiran left, Ray purchased another Shoyru Transmogrification Potion--she routinely acquires such potions as part of her draconic hoarding habit. However, in a moment of distraction, she fed it to me instead of placing it into her Safety Deposit Box.

Needless to say, I was disgruntled. Mutant Shoyrus are handsome creatures, but nowhere near the level of wicked-cool, a look which is only attained by the Mutant Lupe (and perhaps some Draconian Pets, if those are in fact the ones released)

Ray acquired another Lupe Transmogrification Potion and I consumed it matter-of-factly. Went through that whole "hideously mutate" process. Yawn. However, at that time I knew nothing of what was going on inside my body.

Potions in Neopia are magical objects, especially ones that cause lasting changes. The magical leftovers from the first two Transmogrification Potions was minimal, about the same level as a pet whose owner has painted him several times. However, unlike painting, which only affects the surface, a Transmogrification Potion leaves a residue that suffuses the pet's entire body.

After four such potions, my body was literally tingling with concentrated power. It was sitting there, and unlike water, power does not grow stagnant. It builds up pressure until it either explodes, or exploits small cracks to relieve that pressure.

Now, do not expect anything flashy. I was not mentally nor physically designed to use magic, and thus even with a quadruple coating of magical power over each cell in my body I am unable to perform huge impressive feats. My skills lie in other directions.

Initially, I had no clue about this power, which enabled Azura to maintain her fog over my mind, although my innate power had more than doubled. Her magic was supported by the residue left from the aforementioned blue Pet Pet Paintbrush, however one small paintbrush is no match for four Transmogrification Potions. I gradually--albeit unconsciously--wore her down. This was possible, I suppose, because Azura was unable to maintain anything other than her controls on my mind, and had overlooked the need for blocking psychic powers. Through her magical restraints, my power forged a psychic link between our minds.

Meanwhile, Tor Teiran's plot had not borne fruit. He even went so far as to approach the great Turmaculus, but to no avail. He returned, defeated, to find that Azura's hold on me was slipping dangerously. Releasing me at that point would have been dangerous, as my power was bursting to find some way out.

Teiran admitted his idiocy to the world in general, and with the magical support of Ray and--surprisingly--Laoul, was able to take control over from Azura. Then, gradually, with much guidance from Laouja, they removed the fog from my mind and taught me a measure of self-control.

Whyre Azura was still psychically linked to me, a fact that only she realized while trying desperately to recover from over-reaching her ability.

Despite everyone's precautions, once the last layer of external control was removed, the tenuous, thread-like psychic link between myself and Whyre Azura abruptly became a mental merge. We were briefly the same entity in two bodies--Azura had no reserves left to keep me out, and I had no way of keeping myself out. As I was not mentally suited for magic, I lacked even the basic instinctive responses.

Laouja, with the incredible mental focus native to Aishas, was able to throw herself into our merge and pry us apart after only seconds.

But the damage was done.

The common consensus is that Azura's mind shattered. We retired her to a quiet little cushion in The Gallery, where she sits to this day, quietly pondering. A mental touch reveals that no one is home.

I left the entire ordeal feeling like I had not truly lived my first hundred days of life. I accepted Teiran as my Petpet again, and he is a much subdued Bearog these days. Laoul and Laouja have been carefully instructing me in the control of my power, and I have learned slowly.

Someday I hope to return Azura's mind to her body. Sure, it sounds like something a good-guy type would do... but there is an ulterior motive.

I want to get her out of MY body.

Meh. Does this area really *need* a header?
