Tradious got their homepage at Neopets.com

[background image was created by keii] Disclaimer: I was in NO WAY forced to make this application. I chose to do so of my own free-will, since I greatly enjoy making petpage applications. Thank you. :]

The night is silent, and the air: still, except a soft, eerie midnight breeze that sends chills through your bones as you meander aimlessly through a cemetery. Angry black clouds blot out the light from the stars and the full moon. The air is damp: the downpour of rain had just stopped a few brief minutes ago. The stench of decaying bodies and graveyard soil fills your lungs each time you inhale. A light mist, barely discernible except by the faint glow allowed passage through the masses of rolling storm clouds above, has settled close to the ground, enshrouding the stones protruding from the ground randomly that marked those buried beneath them.
A shiver runs down your spine. The darkness around you begins to make your heart beat faster. Afraid of the darkness? No. The old, leafless trees seem to reach out and claw for your soul with each step you take; you swear you can hear the moaning of a thousand corpses. And you have that eerie, creepy feeling that someone's following you.
WAIT. What was...? Paranoia flaring in your mind, you whip around.
...nothing.
Why, hello there. You look a little lost. The source of the voice remains a shadow as something-you're not quite sure what at this point, you're in a full-blown panic attack-covers your face, preventing you from crying out. You feel yourself be dragged off.

introduction
________________________________________________
Ehehe. Sorry if that amazingly long intro bored you at all. It's always hard to start an application. Anyways~ my name is Keii, and you've stumbled across my application for Qelah, the GORGEOUS dari lupe. (WOO that sounded cheesey) Hope you enjoy reading/looking at this application as much I did making it!

[hoorah for lame intros...?]

about keii

Online
Honestly, I spend waaayyyy too much time online for my own good. Seriously- it can't even be healthy. I like to spend my time online either playing games and trying to earn some np (haha yeah. That doesn't work out too well most of the time) or chatting around on the neobords. I absolutely LOVE roleplayng, too, and do so quite often with friends over neomail and such. Lesseee.... I usually talk in 3rd person online_ too, but don't let that scare you. It's not that creepy, k? :C I've been doing it for like 2 years now. It's a habit that I'm NOT gonna break~. Oh, and I have the tendency to talk liek diz cuz iz liek rly fun lololol. BUUUTTT I decided that may not go over very well with you... sooo... I'M GONNA CUT BACK.
...kinda...
BUTYEAH~. Not much more to say 'bout me online_ Mostly, my time spent on the computer is either staring at the screen like a complete zombie (i eet ur brainz now kthnxbai) or just laughing. Often at nothing at all. To most on-lookers... I look completely possessed. YES. COMPUTERS POSSESS YOU. DON'T DENY IT. THEY'RE GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD.
(Oh I probably shoulda mentioned my tendency to speak in all caps... it's kind of a nasty little habit. Hehe)

Offline
OHGOD. Let's just say... offline, I'm really NOT a good person. I make incredibly dumb decisions. I'm not even gonna say the kind of stuff I do. But I do have a lot of friends and a pretty outgoing personality, so that makes up for it...? D: (I'm totally trying to defend myself...) I spend a lot of my time offline doodling, hanging out with friends... I stay after school EVERY day for at LEAST an hour. Mostly 'cuz I don't have a ride home most days, and have nothing better to do. But that's not the point.
I'm in love with my music, even though I don't have much of it. I have three birds: Kiwi, Newbie (...dad named her ITSNOTMYFAULT) and Sunny. Kiwi likes to eat my cereal 'cuz she's just evil like that. NO I SWEAR. THEY'RE DEMON BIRDS. IT'S A CONSPIRACY. -twitch-
....AHEM. So yeah. Nothing all too exciting 'bout me in real life. OH I FORGOT. I'm 15 years old. Hahaha. I should really delete that and put it at the top of this section, but eh. I'm too lazy (And yet I'm typing all this out... WOW THAT'S SAD.) I could go on a huuuggeee rant about everything that goes on in my life away from the possessive screen, but it'd take up too much time and I'm not sure you'd really want to read it. Half of it is boring stuff that no one likes to hear about anyways~. So let's move onto the better things! ^__^

about qelah
________________________________________________

There's really not much to say about Qelah's personality. He has a rather twisted mind; very devious. He's almost always bored to death, and spends most of his days just lazing around in his cemetery whenever he's not off terrorizing someone else. He can have a bit of a temper at times, but mostly he just lets things roll by uncaringly. Making friends is difficult for him, and he doesn't really even enjoy anyone else's company anyways. If you dare approach his cemetery, he'll usually just chase you off. So be warned. (:

vetalas
________________________________________________
Vetalas are demon-like creatures from Hindu mythology. They are evil spirits who inhabit cemeteries, and are able to take demonic possession of corpses. They are rather bitter, and take out all their displeasure on humans: causing madness and miscarriages, and also killing children. However, they can also guard villages.

Vetalas can be repelled by the chanting of holy mantras. One can free them from their ghostly existence by performing their funerary rites. Being unaffected by the laws of space and time, they have an uncanny knowledge about the past, present, and future and a deep insight into human nature. Therefore many sorcerers seek to capture them and turn them into slaves.
[keii lazy and don't paraphrase lol. Taken from wiki and other sources... they all say pretty much the same thing o__0]

Qelah's entire character is based off these creatures, with just a few twists, of course. In essence, he doesn't have a true body- the wolf form he's in is the dead corpse of his brother. He would appear to most mortal, except he has no body heat, and does not need to eat, drink, or breathe. He can manipulate many different corpses at one time with no trouble at all. He became trapped between this world and the afterlife after his family found him to be too much of a threat in his mortal years and betrayed him and burned him. He sought vengeance, and murdered all those who were ever close to him. None know how to perform his funeral rites, so he remains stuck in this world forever more, forced to allow his spirit live on in the body's of other deceased and watch time go by.

Aahna the black gallion

If I'm chosen to adopt Qelah, he will be given a Black Gallion. No joke. I can prove it to you~ I saved up and bought one, and it's currently attached to Beautiiya. I didn't really feel like sticking him in a gallery hahaha. |8C

Anyways, Aahna is Hindu for Alive. I figured it was suiting, since qelah's entire design is based off something from Hindu culture, and since Qelah isn't really ALIVE... y'know, opposites attract kinda thing. There will probably be some sort of little story on this guy and how they became companions, but I plan on Aahna being some kind of remnant of Qelah's mortal life. Haven't completely thought this through, and I don't want to get too into describing it 'til I have a good sense of how the two go together. BUT THEY WILL. I SWEAR TO GOD THEY WILL. I'LL MAKE IT WORK.
...yeah.

story
________________________________________________
So. I bet you're wondering how Qelah ever became a Vetala, huh? Well, let's hear the entire story. Starting from the beginning.

[told from Qelah's point of veiw.]
CHAPTER 1
I was born into this world, just as everyone else was. At first, everything seemed that it was how it should be. I thought everything was perfect; everyone must live the exact same way I did. At least, that's what they made me think.
I used to go with my brother every morning at the crack of dawn. Just him and me, barely old enough to run. And run we would. Every morning, to the village neighboring ours. I was always told they weren't like us: they were nasty, ugly brutes who would do anything to obtain what they needed to live a comfortable life. And because of that, we needed to steal from them.
I didn't ever know it was wrong. I truly thought they were just as the elders told me they were; I never considered that perhaps by doing what we did, we were actually making ourselves into the very things we thought they were. But we'd do it, nevertheless. And after years of raiding every day, we were BOUND to get caught cometime. I still remember that day as if it were yesterday; it completely changed the course of my life.

As my loyal brother and I went running one day, we decided to take a try at Old Lady Big Nose's fresh meat. Or at least, that was the name we gave to her, since we didn't bother sticking around to find out anything more than was necessary to complete our runs. She was an old-looking thing; didn't seem to have any close relatives or family. She lived on the opposite outskirts of the village, the furthest house from our safe haven.
Because of this, we had never really attempted to run anything from her. Occasionally, we'd snag a couple pieces of scrap meat from outside her house if we were already running a place somewhere close by and it was convienent. For some reason, though, we woke up that morning and decided to give it a try.
As we approached her cottage that morning, all was going well. Because of his dark fur, my brother was more easily able to blend in with the shadows, and so he was in charge of getting the meat, while I stood lookout. He came out running with his loot, in a wild frenzy; I assumed at first it was just his nerves, but as he drew closer and tossed some to me to carry, I could hear Old Lady Big Nose pursuing him; both of us now. Panic ripped at my heart, and I sloppily grabbed the meat in my jaws, and took off running harder than I ever had before. We tore back through the village like the ground was on fire.

This'll be finished if keii's chosen to adopt. o3o

family/friends
________________________________________________
Qelah really has no family, and no friends at the moment, except for Aahna, his faithful companion. This could change as I start to roleplay him with others and he begins to meet new people and expand his world- and who knows, perhaps he may stumble across some bloodkin survivor that could perform his funeral rights for him. In short, I really just don't wanna take the time to imagine family for him. If anyone reading this would like to volunteer to be a part of Qelah's past/future/whatever, then go ahead and neomail me~. Until then... uh...

OH LOOK A BUTTERFLY.

roleplay & art
________________________________________________
YAAAYYYYY roleplay and aarrrttttt. The sole reasons I even come on neopets anymore! :D
Yes, I do roleplay and draw. And I'm gonna prove it to you. BY SHOVING HORRIFYING EXAMPLES IN YOUR FACE. YEAH. BE AFRAID.

Roleplay

After hours of steadily wandering forward through the dark trees of the forest, something of interest caught the black shape's ears: voices. Somewhere nearby. stopping midstride, the wolf perked his ears, listening hard. Yes, there was definitely something worth interest ahead. A slight twinge of excitement- the most the stoic creature ever gets- fluttered in his heart. His paws began to tingle; he was almost able to taste fresh blood on his tongue. Seconds passed like hours as he calmed himself and regained composure. Softly, Torasuto-as the wolf was most often refferred to as- placed his right forepaw back down on the ground. No sound was made from the contact- not even the slightest whisper of the leaves on the forestfloor below. Another followed, just as silent. Then another. And another. Head was down, shoulders were taught- weight evenly distributed. Tail carried high in the air and belly hovering just above the ground, he advanced. Silent as the midnight stillness. Keen, brilliant green eyes glared forward, glinting in the moonlight. Enhanced vision revealed the shapes ahead, everything was ready- SNAP. A twig broke. Torasuto froze, body completely still, eyes still fixed on his soon-to-be victims ahead. Bloodlust raced through his veins, but experience forced him to stay put and await to see if they had heard him.

Part of me'n Rachie's roleplays. o3o

why qelah?
________________________________________________
Ah. So. Why do I even want qelah, one might ask? My answer is "DUUHHHH LOOKAT HIMMMM HEEZ SU PRITTYYYYYYY LOL ;w;" which is translated to be: he has a wonderful name, and a wonderful colour. But honestly, when I first saw him, I saw HUGE roleplay potential. Would he be a trophy pet? UH. I don't even know what the heck that IS. D: so no, I guess...?

Basically, I simply want him 'cuz I saw something great in him. I really don't care how lame that sounds. IT SOUNDS COOL TO ME OKAY? And I love appplying. Seriously, ask anyone. I may scream and get frustrated and say "HUDFWOGFOEGUFEOUHUASO" a lot... but it's all a lie. :] I adore making applications. I mean, really, its another excuse to not do my homework! But yeah. It's definitely been fun writing this thing out, and worth every goldfish cracker crumb I've gotten on my keyboard.

why keii?
________________________________________________
WELLZ... Y NOT??
haha. I hate doing these sections. D: I don't like telling people why you should pick me. I'm probably not gonna feed him. I'm not even gonna bother with that crap. I don't see the point in it. @___@ I have noticed that people are more disapproving of not feeding ever since the new layout, so I may stick him in the hotel or something. But I doubt it. So if you have a problem with that, don't choose keii.~

But he would be roleplayed, I'd make a custom petpage for him, draw him, and take care of him in that sense. PETZ R SLAVEZ. DEY NO DESERVE MONEYZ. NUWAI... at least in keii's opinion.
I'm not gonna say crap about my personality, either. I can be an incredibly mean person when I wanna be. And I've hurt a lot of people in real life. Generally, if you don't give me reason to chew you out, though, I'm a pretty friendly person... I guess? IDK YOU BE THE JUDGE OF THAT. :c All I can do is guarantee you that he wouldn't be traded off or adopted out or anything (TRADING IS DUMB. KEII NO LIEK.). He'd be a permie, for sureeee~

information & inspiration
_____________________________________________________________________________
I CREATED THIS APPLICATION BY MYSELF. TOUCH IT AND I WILL LITERALLY HUNT YOU DOWN AND RIP YOUR BRAINS OUT.
I know it's not the BEST coding in the world. I'm still learning. That does not give anyone any excuse to use ANY of it without my permission, or at least crediting back. So don't even try. It's stealing. And you'll go to hell for that. (Keii's going to hell too, so see you there :D)

I honestly don't even remember when/where/how I got inspiration for Qelah's design. These things just... come to me. NO REALLY THEY DO. ITS A CONSPIRACY. @__@ Haha.
This application took about... a lot of hours? I'm not even gonna try to figure it out, 'cuz it'll just scare me and then I'll have nightmares for years of applications and clocks like coming after me and eating my brains out. D: You wouldn't want that, would you? [this is where you say no by the way.] In short, this is a lot of hard work. I just believe Qelah deserves at LEAST that much, if not more. Probably a lot more. But still. I hope you can appreciate that fact and at least consider me~ IF YOU DO ILY 4EVR...
...THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE A BRIBE OR ANYTHING. D: ily4ever even if I'm not chosen~

future plans
________________________________________________
Ah, yeah. Future plans. I think I've pretty much said all my future plans somewhere in my application so far, but I'm not completely sure, soo...
Basically, he WILL be roleplayed. I'll make him a custom petpage, eventually he will have Aahna, I'll draw him, and if possible I'll enter him into the BC too. Depending on my mood, I may stick him in the hotel so he doesn't look so sad all the time (no promises there, though). UHM. OH RITE. He'd be put on my side account, kitsunae. Which is my most active side, almost as active as my main. 'Cuz it has Torasuto on it, and he's my baby~ seriously, I'm in love with him. I KNOW, I KNOW IT'S SAD. I'M IN LOVE WITH MY ROLEPLAY CHARACTER.
...........DON'T JUDGE ME. D:
You don't have to worry about me trading him off, either. As I stated before, I'm opposed to the whole trading thing for the most part, especially when it's pets I've adopted. He'll be a permie without a doubt, and hopefully my application has shown that to you. If not... I fail miserably hahaha.

Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to read through this application. :] I know I'm a bit of a weird person, and maybe my app's come across as a bit obnoxious, but I hope that you'll consider me anyways. Best of luck choosing a new owner for Qelah. He truly is an amazing lupe~.

PEACE OUT, HOMIEZ.
