Welcome to my Application for Ayneda!

Hello guest! I see you've stumbled across my abysmal petpage application for the beautiful Ayneda! As it happens I'm no hotshot at HTML (my apologies to all who's retinas are currently being zapped with the ugliness of this page) but I do enjoy making petpages regardless.
Why am I the best candidate for Tay? I am fifteen, I'm active on this site (on at least once a day for a half an hour), I adore roleplaying and drawing art of my pets, and just all around can't seem to get unhooked on neopets. It's become my anti-drug lol. I take extreme measures to make sure my characters are as unique and individualized and interesting as possible. Since I do enjoy roleplaying and want my roleplaying buddies to get as much out of it as I do I try to make my characters as three-dimensional, as adaptive, as memorable as I can; no one wants to read or write about boring generic characters.
Since you also requested that I list why I wouldn't be a good owner, and I might as well comply to that. I only care for my neopets as characters, I won't battledome them, I don't play games or enter stupid contests (the BC, Art Gallery, and Spotlights are exceptions; anything else is bunk), and I most certainly WON'T customize them. Not only can my poor wheezy old computer not handle it, I'm also very against all this remodeling in the first place; to me it seems to make the paintbrushes somewhat obsolete, what with being able to dress your neopet up royal-like without really doing much work at all. Anyway... that's why lulz, everything else that's creative I participate in :)
Continuing on; me and my best friend Kitkat are addicted to the site, and have many accounts and many characters, an overall count that exceeds fifty. None of these pets were created illegally; when our brothers joined, created wonderfully named pets, and then quit, we simply decided to adopt theirs as well, thus swelling our numbers further. None of those extra accounts are used for financial gain; we use them as character storage and are delighted to own and personalize them just as much as our main account pets.
There are always roleplay opportunities between us, and I have other neofriends who enjoy art trades and roleplaying as well; rest assured that Tay will not be neglected artistically or linguistically.
And I do believe that about sums it up :) I don't plan on repainting him, battledoming him, changing his gender, any of that garbage, and unless a petpet would suit his storyline and personality he will not be getting one. Petpets, unless they have a plot purpose, to me, are just there to showcase how wealthy the users are, something that does not impress me in the slightest. Talent and devotion over wealth, kids. :)
On with the application!

Overview- My Ideas for Tay
I've only been able to brainstorm a few things I'd like for Tay and here have thrown it all together in one more or less unorganized heap.
I'm leaning very heavily towards having him be some sort of junkyard dog/street rat/mutt character, sort of that puzzle piece that doesn't belong affair, except he isn't really bothered by it, like... at all. He's not the kind of guy who thinks things through or sits and mopes trying to understand why he was born in a cardboard box and abandoned nearly right afterward. He doesn't get depressed (I don't think he's actually clever enough to know to get depressed over his life) about it, doesn't spend his life trying to find some 'place' he's meant to be; in essence he's not some poorly designed Disney sequel character reusing the same plot from the original.
He's basically this easy going free wandering nut who's aware he's different and indifferent to that fact. He's not outwardly smart, he's a little slow (as in won't know immediately that you're taunting him), but he's got a disturbing knack for puzzles and other little mind games that would leave more intelligent individuals befuddled for days. His heart is also in perfect tune with the city's, he knows everything that's going on without consciously acknowledging it. He's got the street accent, he's got the street swagger, he knows the alleyways, he knows the people, knows the cars knows the buildings knows everything about his own and every city. It's just a thing with him. You could walk him into New York or Tokyo, doesn't matter where or what kind of city it is, so long as there's dirty air and cheeseburger wrappings in the gutters he'll know his way around like he's lived there all his life.
He gets into fights a lot, where his knowledge of the alleys comes in handy for quick escapes (though he's scrappy he's entirely untalented at fighting. If he were actually forced into battle he'd be annihilated nothing flat.) There are packs and gangs of other Lupes/Gelerts/dogs that rove the city as well, and Tay is unique in that he doesn't belong to any, he's affiliated with no one. Eventually those stragglers like himself either conform to one or are demolished by another, the fact that Tay is still alive and around is exceptional.
As he's turned down every offer to join, all groups have now essentially turned against him. If another Lupe/Gelert/dog gets so much as a whiff of him he'll sound the hunt and Tay had better be running, which usually he is.
He's also unique in that he's got wings; wings too small to carry him. Wings that are virtually useless. For reasons unknown to him they never developed completely, they'd been the size of sparrow's wings since he was born and they'd never grown. Object of ridicule, which also, once Tay catches on to the mockery, gets him into trouble.
(BLAH I am so sorry this is in no particular order. blaaah.)
Viranda is a beautiful hardcore sprite Lupe in D'marzo's gang (D'marzo being one of the gang chiefs, head of one of the more formidable gangs.) who Tay's taken a fancy to, more of a fancy than he has for other girls (because really he's hopeless whenever any beautiful woman walks by, the dog park is a nightmare to him and so naturally he pokes around there whenever he can.) Viranda's nicer than the other gang affiliates and humors Tay by actually speaking to him, but by trying to get closer to Viranda Tay's putting his life even more at stake than it had been. D'marzo (who if anyone should be curious resembles a Doberman lol, they're just the perfect evil dogs), being the maff boss, sort of stakes a claim/has first and unchallenged dibs on any girl of his choice. Viranda, though she's refused him at every advancement, happens to be his current goal and D'marzo already hates Tay enough to kill him without reason...
(it is like brainstorm confetti. HAZAH.)
So yeah basically Tay just kinda rolls around living each day trying to survive, trying to scrounge up a meal, avoid the more dangerous gangs, scout out pretty ladies, the usual bachelor junk. I kind of like the idea of there being a "rich district" to his city, a part that has a nice manicured park where people frequently go to walk their Lupes/Gelert thangs and that's mostly where, once Tay's fought his way through packs and found some scrap of food to keep him going, Tay spends his time, A. looking for some sympathetic person to beg food off of and B. checking out whoever's at the park that day. He sounds a little stalkerish but it's what most bored socially deprived guys do anyway hehe.
And that's all, you get a cupcake if you made it through all that with your sanity, the rest will have to be roleplayed and I'll have to hammer out the finer details later if and after I receive him :] Now, ONWARD_ :D
Friends
He's made friends (all fictional and all credited to me; he hasn't starred in any roleplays yet as he's not officially mine) in his ventures through the city, none of which exist; they are the height of side characters, mentioned only as they add some fiber and some point to a previous life.
Poprel (belongs to me)- A snotrag, but she's Tay's snotrag. Tay saved her once from the jaws of death (completely literally); one of D'marzo's gang had cornered her, only naturally she'd fled up a tree (unfortunately the poor district being disgusting as it is that happened to be the ONLY tree in the entire neighborhood, there was no where else to flee.) He'd been peckish, and it was mostly for the entertainment that he was chasing her in the first place. Tay spied the episode while running his usual morning route and recognized the offending Lupe. Without analyzing the situation (as well... is typical of Tay) he charged blindly in, didn't win the fight but distracted the Lupe long enough for Poprel to escape down the tree and zing out of sight like she was shot from a gun. The Lupe might have killed Tay if he weren't equally as good as Poprel at disappearing, and the pair of them left the Lupe dumbfounded and outraged in a dead-ended alleyway. Poprel's been his friend ever since. She's pessimistic, sarcastic, analytical, and a perfectionist to an almost sinful degree, but whatever her faults she's still endearing.
Viranda- Well you heard about her. Caught sight of Tay one day and was curious, she'd never seen him on her side before, and her first instinct was to call him an enemy, but there was something in the sheer doofiness of his stature that let her guard down. Whenever she meets him she's pretty... sassy I guess you could say. Tay being oblivious isn't even vaguely aware that Viranda is probing him, trying to figure out his angle when really all his charm lies in the fact that he's not socially apt enough to be a snake.
Family
(adoptive)
As has been said, myself and Kitkat have created nothing short of an army, a neopian household exceeding fifty pets. But, seeing as the current whole point to Tay is that he's a stray and therefore doesn't really belong anywhere, he has not met any of the pets that will one day come to be his extended, extensive, and adopted family. He will be inducted through a roleplay, but before that time I hope to have enlisted him in several of his own adventures before he becomes tied to the house. That being said the family section will remain blank until said time :)
Journal (Current Roleplay)
|
|
Here Tay can write about current roleplays, summarize what is happening to him, what he thinks about the people/pets he's traveling/interacting with, explain feelings he wouldn't have shared during the roleplay, extra garbagio like that :)
Currently: No roleplay. But I intend to change that as soon as possible :D

Status
[x] Open [ ] Closed
[x] Single [ ] Taken
Roleplay Information/Complications: Tay is a pretty smooth rolling guy, he's not outwardly suspicious (or even outwardly clever for that matter,) he'll accept you for who you are until you do something to prove his friendship otherwise. He won't judge you, and he'll be as hospitable as he can (but he doesn't have much room to house you if you're in need of a hiding place.) Tay on the other hand doesn't tolerate rudeness and if your character snubs him he's got no problem dumping your sorry butt on the streets to fend for yourself.
Adoptables!
NOTES!!
1. TAY CAN HAVE EITHER LUPE OR GELERT ADOPTABLES MADE OF HIM, HE'S VERSATILE THAT WAY. Don't be alarmed if I ask you, with your lupe template and your lupe character, to do Tay for me in a trade. His design is such that either will work.
2. I'll also be designing two templates; one a Gelert template, the second a Lupe template.
3. And aah... common courtesy people, you've heard the rules, these belong to me. Please don't abuse them and make me take them down :(
Take only if they're for you.
Requests- OPEN TO FRIENDS ONLY; TRADES WILL COME FIRST ON THE PENDING LIST
Trades: OPEN :) I reserve the right to refuse a trade, however.
