!DISCLAIMER!
I chose to make this pet page application out of pure love for this pet and due to my lacking ability to keep things short enough to fit into a neomail. I was in no way forced, or told I would be any less acceptable of an applicant if i did not do this. So please do not hold it against Roberto94 in anyway. Thank you.
I realized that if I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.
Intro
Hello there Robynne! Welcome to my application for Khoau. I really tried to keep it sweet and simple, yet still show my absolute love and longing to own your handsome spotted lupe. So hopefully that will all come across in my frantic and overly excited typing. I really hope you enjoy reading through my application despite how quickly it was put together. I am going to be moving across the country to Ottawa in a few days, so I unfortunately wont get to spend as much time on my application as I would like. I hope that wont effect your decision too much but if you have any questions regarding anything you see in my application or anything you wish to see then please feel free to neomail me.
So loud are the gears of war
Why do I want him?
I was an instant fan of spotted lupes the moment I scrolled down the news page on lupe day and saw the wonderful design. I instantly looked up spotted paint brushes to see how much they were. I didn't think they would be very much cause none of the spotted pets really were that nice till the lupe came around. Of course I was upset to see they were over a million neopoints. So I made it one of my impossible goals to one day own a spotted boy lupe, whether through saving or adopting. Now I tend to scroll through the neopound boards on a daily basis in search for possible candidates for my "dream team", and one late night around 11:30 nst I happened upon a topic saying "SPOTTED LUPE UFA". I held my breath as I checked Khoau's look up and was overwhelmed to see that he was not only amazingly named (I have grown annoyingly name picky *curses self*) but he was also a HE! Absolutely perfect. *snuggles Khoau* I have thought up many characters and designs for a male spotted lupe while I waited for the right one to appear (or for that improbable day when I might afford one) and the one I have chosen definitely was an instant choice after the first five minutes of spazing over his look up at his amazingness. I cannot imagine him with any other personality then the one I have put together for him. Hopefully you will agree. He is one of those pets you see, that makes you feel inspiration, like he needs to be something. I dunno if that is just me being crazy or not... But some pets have more character in them than others. Like Zombieno my little ghost aisha for example. I love her to death over the character I have envisioned her with, and at this point I am so attached to that character I couldn't even consider trading her away for even a draik. I can tell he is one of those and I am so ready to do whatever it takes to make him a part of my neofamily.
Oh it's opening time
Down on fascination street
So let's cut the conversation
And get out for a bit
Because I feel it all fading and paling
And I'm begging
To drag you down with me
To kick the last nail in
Yeah! I like you in that
Like I'd like you to scream
But if you open your mouth
Then I can't be responsible
For quite what goes in
Or to care what comes out
So just pull on your hair
Just pull on your pout
And let's move to the beat
Like we know that it's over
If you slip going under
Slip over my shoulder
So just pull on your face
Just pull on your feet
And lets hit opening time
Down on fascination street
About The Ryo Zombie
Now I know this is one of the more important sections of an application. Because after all an application is really there so you get to know as much about the applicant and what they have to offer as possible in order to make an informed decision on who is worthy enough for Khoau. So I shall try to give you as much as I can without boring you to tears.
Feel free to visit my art gallery!
I am a very strange and quirky girl from Vancouver Canada who has an immense passion for the arts and for life. I tend to be incurably optimistic and love to help others feel great about whatever is going on in their lives, whether its good or bad. I'm a procrastinator, a musician, a dork, an escapist and a dreamer. I guess it is all those things brought me to neopets in the first place. Neopets for me is a way of relieving stress, and for being creative. You can usually find me lurking around the neo pound board in hopes of finding new inspiration for a character, doodling up character designs either for myself or for others, and as of recently trying to collect a ton of trophies for my pets and myself through gaming and other means. I have become much more into the competitions on neopets such as the art gallery, the beauty contest, and the neopian times. Even though I have yet to be accepted, I am continuously trying to enter it with my poetry and comics, which apparently are not quite as great as I would like to think they are.
Account wise... well I have had a few through out my history on neopets. Probably around five before my current ones. My most recent was requiem89 which I self froze after I had lost interest for a few months due to an unfortunate hacking only to completely regret it and create Hauntedcathouse which is now my oldest account though not my main. My first account on neo was conjoined between a good friend and I, she eventually took complete control over the account and lost interest over time. That one was Jesho which is actually still alive somehow. I made a few afterward, one of which got frozen for me being a complete noob. But I grew tired of just playing games and seeming to get nowhere. I had not discovered the creative and artistic side of neopets at that time (I was only 10 after all) so I took a break which lasted about three years. Then requiem89 was created and that is where my history ends I guess. So right now I currently have four accounts. Hauntedcathouse which is my oldest accessible account and most active side, Brainsucka which is my main account and the one which I run the show from, Nagasakinightmare which is my side/pet storage/babysitting account, and last but not least Viscerall which I just created a few weeks back as a soon to be lab account once I complete the lab map.
I know you are probably wondering what my history is when it comes to adopting and trading pets away. I will be honest. If I cannot think of a character or find myself growing away from one of my pets I will put them UFA and though very rare as it may be I might trade them for a new pet who inspires me. But so far I have yet to do so with any of the pets I put time and effort into adopting. I have adopted two other pets in the the past. There names are Meliquee and Blarieh. They are two of my babies and I love them sooo so much. I can't see myself ever getting rid of them, but I am in contact with their previous owners still and would gladly return either of them if I were ever to considering it. I always neofriend the owners of pets I have traded, adopted from or adopted out to, because I like to stay in contact and check on my pets and I know a lot of other are the same way. So I would love to do that with you as well, and I want you to know that Khoau will instantly be yours again if I were ever to doubt my care for him or my interest in continuing to create his character.
Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
Vanish with no guile
And I will not pay
But the soul can wait
The soul can wait
My Pets & Khoau's Future Family
Alright so I thought I would give you a quick run down of all my pets and their stats. If it doesn't interest you feel free to skip of course.
Zombieno: She is the oldest created pet I still currently have. An absolute sweet heart with a tragic tale. She was born back in the 1890's and in her youth became a nurse for wounded soldiers in the war. She did it in order to stay near her true love Bruno, but wars being as wars are... She found herself one of thousands who were not going home after it was all over. Or at least in her case not going home for a hundred years or so. She Awoke in a lab where a scientist had gathered the remains of her dead body and proceeded to awaken her spirit once again. So now she finds herself a lonely corpse lost in a world full of unknowns and completely void of everyone she loved in life. She still has a lot more work needing to be done of course. I haven't even role played her yet but she is one of my favorite characters and designs. I am currently trying to re-create her story after a coding accident that erased it (stupid me not backing it up on my computer *headdesk*). 
Zcess: She is my second oldest pet I created all on my own. This Zesty cat is a wannabe, psycho billy, pink zombie who seems to be an extension of myself in a lot of ways. I tend to role play her and reply and react through her as I would in real life. Its kind of odd I guess but I love her all the more because of it. She is a very strange girl with a normal yet dramatic past. I think the fact I, and probably quite a few others can relate to her, makes her my most believable character and my most memorable one. I am still working on a lot of little details around her but for the most part she is one of my three completed characters. I have yet to actually paint her pink and it has taken me forever due to my impulsive spending on random junk objects that I find pretty and alluring. So one day she will be pink, and have her pet rock. 
Loriniam: This handsome guy was given to me by my best neofriend Flea (neo_lover_8787). I was absolutely obsessed with chombies and wanted a jelly one more than anything and she so sweetly offered me Lori and told me I could pretend he was frozen jelly. He is one of my favorites ever since. Though he doesn't seem to have much going on character wise and design wise I can tell you I have done more with him than anyone else. I keep changing his design and character. I finally had one I was satisfied with but all of a sudden... I wanted to paint him pirate! And now I am trying to come up with a design reflective of that. I loooove pirate chombies and his character would suit it perfectly. I just need to get going on it now. Anyway, Lori is a very kind guy. A little nervous and untrusting at first but sweet and silly once you get to know him. He is the second hand to his captain on board the Grim sales, a modern pirate airship known for its quick and furious ambushes. 
Charrmn: This little shy sweet thing is my newest created pet. I had a sudden impulse to have a blumaroo and came up with her. She hasn't had very much work done on her yet, but so far I know she will eventually be painted island. She is going to need a lot of work though, her character is kind of flaky as of now. She doesn't have the kind of depth I strive for in all my pets personalities. I have drawn up many beautiful designs for her though and I am sure I can come up with something using them. I like her being a yellow blumaroo so much though, I was thinking I would just paint her island for the clothes then repaint her yellow again. She is my summer baby, my little dancer and a herbalist specialist. Of course many of that is subject to change as her character develops. And that about all I have to say about that. 
Blarieh: Or just Blare for short; Is a mysterious, devious, and obviously gorgeous Halloween cybunny. Her story begins after a long day of work, when she makes the mistake of walking down a dark alley way despite rumors of murder spreading through her neighborhood. She is attacked and though she doesn't at first realize she is turned into a vampire. She then must learn to cope with her new abilities and new weaknesses, and avoid those that wish to hunt her down, as well as frame her for the increasing disturbances in her area. She sort of takes on a split personality after the change and has times where she is more like her old self; sweet, innocent and fearful. While other times she is very confident, powerful and hostile (all result of her vamp side of course). She is my first pet I ever adopted and she means more to me than a lot of things on and off neo. 
Kivcia: I just received her at the beginning of September in exchange for a werelupe named Caecoluna. I was given him by someone for no particular reason and I love werelupes but didn't have a design or anything in mind for him. I kept him over three months before realizing I was definitely not going to be doing anything with him, and decided to see if someone would like him much better. Were lupe after all seem very popular... Probably because they are avatar pet or something like that. Anyways, I found a girl who had been searching for the right one for a long time and she offered me Kivcia. I had that instant love for her and agreed without much thought. I have yet to come up with an appropriate character for her but I have plenty of designs in mind. She is my next big project after I finish with this app. 
Lovelymystic: Horrible name, I know... I actually nicknamed him Surrey, but this guy was one of my top 3 dream pets for a long time, So when I was given the chance to own him, I took it without a doubt. I plan on turning him female to fit my story line for him/her better. You see she is a futuristic bio mechanical being who lives in the remnants of the old world. A hardcore tom boy for sure who loves big guns, loud music and getting into trouble. She is without a doubt the biggest and boldest pet personality that I have. Kind of annoying at times and scary at others. But she is just acting out do to a shaky childhood and an uncertain future. She is a part of a gang that roams the desert waste lands in search of supplies, and anything they can use to bargain with for food and water. It is a world where the biggest gun wins and where rules are about as useful as lipstick. I have started work on her petpage but still have a long way to go. 
Vantassa: She is a fiery hot headed girl from an alternate future of steam engines, gears, clogs, leather wood and the occasional airship. I love her design, it is still only a sketch but it should be finished and ready to upload very soon. She definitely has a lot of personality and can be very dramatic. I haven't worked on her story much yet but she is still very new to me. I received her through a pound adoption from a very sweet girl who no longer wanted her. It was at the beginning of September actually. Not long after I got Kivcia. It was between me and three others who had the pound time and I got her *squeals*. First time I have ever adopted a pet through the pound and actually got her! I already love her so much, she fits in perfectly with my family of oddballs. 
Meliquee: She was the second pet I ever adopted and will forever be my first real zombie pet. She is a sweet, energetic and extremely naive girl who loves surfing. She used to be an island shoyru long before her accident which she doesn't seem to think happened. No one has the heart to tell her she is a zombie, and no one really knows how she came back from the dead. I personally think it is because she has so much life in her spirit and so much love for the world around her. She spends most of her time in the water or on the beach, and is staying with Charrmn at her hut. I haven't done much with her pet page in awhile because I can never come up with a suitable layout for it. I always go for the layout, first then everything else comes easy to me. But her design, story and character are complete. 
Teleportation_device: Or as I have been calling her, Telly. She actually isn't my pet at all. She belongs to my good friend Flea I told you about earlier. She needed room for some pets she had newly adopted and wasn't sure what to do with this girly. So I took her in, though I don't know how long she will be around here for. I may give her a picture or something to keep her happy and make her feel included. But from what I know she is actually up for adoption to someone who really wants a mutant lenny. So if you know anyone please be sure to contact Flea (neo_lover_8787) and I am sure she would be sooo happy to place her in a permie home. If I were to give her a personality I am sure she wold be a strange yet caring girl whose a bit misunderstood by the world... Depending on how long she is here for she may even have a pet page one day who knows. *shrugs*
Tyrantarian: He is one crazy, trouble magnet. A musical genius and a complete jerk. He has an "I don't give a crap" attitude when it comes to most situations in life, and is mostly content breaking things and getting in fights. He has been to jail quite a few times and harasses and steals from his siblings. Despite all those rotten qualities he also has a passion in him and I think deep down he has a great, warm heart. He just likes to pretend her doesn't have one most of the time. I can tell you right now, if you ever met him you would hate him right off the bat, and he would probably hate you too. But get to know him a bit (as hard as it may be to do so) and he may let his guard down long enough for you to see his greatness. I am planning on labbing him for awhile until he is battledome material. I have a lot of work to do on this fella, but I know he is going to be one of my masterpieces. *beams*
So much for me believing that sorrow
So much for dreams we see but never care to know
Your heart makes me feel
Your heart makes me moan
For always and ever, I'll never let go
Always concealed
Safe and inside, alive
A Bright Future
There are tons of things I would love to do with Khoau and all my other pets and I am always working on my goals for each of them. One of the big ones is entering them in the Beauty contest which of course Khoau will be involved in, since he is so handsome after all. I am not quite famous enough or patient enough to advertise so I haven't won a lot but I have gotten a few trophies here and there. I also happen to be a role player. I don't do it a lot but I enjoy it once in awhile when I have free time. It is a great way for developing my characters personalities and giving them some experiences and possibly new friends! Since I know you like proof of everything, here is a sample of me beginning a role play with a friend using Tyrant.
The sunset washed the city skyline in an orange haze.It was a suffocatingly humid day but he was too stubborn to take of his signature leather jacket. His arms and back stuck to it like glue, and sweat poured from his brow dampening his thick black hair. Summer was not his favorite time of year for sure, but the city looked beautiful as if it were on fire all twisted metal stretching up to the sky. Tyrant followed the train tracks past the endless rows of empty warehouses, kicking stones as he went. Humming blister in the sun. Despite the sweltering heat the view was breath taking.
Hopefully that gives you a good idea of my skillz when it comes to role playing. I don't know if it interests you at all, but I think it is the best way to feel connected to a pet, and to allow others to be as well. Alright, so that is that... I am not big on battle dome activities really. I am planning on training Tyrant to be a battler but that is about all, I just want the punch bag bod trophy honestly. So Khoau wont be put into the battle dome, but I will read him books. I like all my pets to have a decent education. Right now Zombieno is the first of them doing their schooling, after wards it will be Zcess, then Khoau! I don't want any of them feeling stupid cause they didn't read the latest books while everyone else did *pats Zombieno*. She is already a master genius and I am so proud. Once she is an ULTIMATE GENIUS I will move to the next pet *smiles widely*. Other things Khoau may be involved in are the customization spotlight. I always enter my pets though they have yet to win anything. I only just got into customizing so I am fairly noobish at it so far. Speaking of such things, here are some items I am hoping to get for khoau to make him pretty!
The items I have managed to get for him so far can be found in my gallery!
Also if I ever get a comic series running and the neopian times accepts it then he will star in it from time to time with all my other pets, and like all my other baybehs, I will continuously work on bettering his character and make is pet page amazing. It wont be instant because it definitely takes a lot of time to make a page worth looking at. Plus if it was just done I would loose all the fun of owning him in the first place. I enjoy the work of creating, more than the actual outcome of my creations. Weird I know, but I am a strange girl, so yeh...
Hopefully this meets your expectations for Khoau's future, and know that I will always be adding more things to his ever growing persona and adorable design.
P.S. If I get him I will keep him on my main account (brainsucka) just in case you were wondering.
Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
In a passion it broke
I pull the black from the grey
But the soul can wait
I felt you so much today...
Khoau likes to appear fairly average, he doesn't particularly like to stand out in a crowd or be the center of attention. Being able to blend in makes him feel more comfortable and at ease. But he is far from average. He has outstanding mechanical engineering skills though his modesty might tell you otherwise. He has built many unique works of art as well as functional inventions, and has even been commissioned to work on the massive royal airships and mechanical weaponry. Though his telents lay in the actual creation of ships and machines, his dream is to one day fly one. But he unfotunatly was too old to enter into the flying academy and lacked the fund to do so. Even with this gift he tends to still live his life feeling awkward and out of place. He was never really great with other people, especially of the female variety. His antisocial behavior was probably brought on by the constant teasing he had as a kid. Looking at his charmingly handsome face now, you'd never guess he had any insecurities with how he presented himself to the world. He is genuine, thoughtful, immensely talented, and ridiculously shy. Those who do not know him well think he is stuck up at first, do to his quiet and evasive way of communicating. But he truly wants to be able to open up to others, the only thing stopping him is his giant wall he has built around himself over the past 15 years of his life. If you could somehow get to know him, you would see a charming, talkative and funny guy who has so much passion for the world and everyone in it who shows him even an inch of compassion.Stats

A Brief History Review
Khoau's story begins like many, in the arms of his mother and surrounded by his family. He grew up out in the countryside far from any mechanical devices and automobiles. He was the middle child but unlike most he was given the most attention from his parents. They praised his genius at a very young age. It was very apparent he would do amazing things and everyone knew it. His siblings despised him for it and bullied him, even beating him close to death at times. They told him it was all his fault for their unhappiness and for stealing their parents love from them. He began to withdraw from others attention in hopes he wouldn't be subject to his brother and sisters anger, in hopes that maybe people would just forget about him and he wouldn't have to feel the guilt or pain. His school life wasn't much better, in fact it was basically the same situation if not worst. His teachers loved him and were proud to be teaching him. They would always say things like "One day when you are the greatest inventor in the world don't forget to tell them I taught you how to read." and as they said it he could feel the class rooms eyes burning into his backside. He also wasn't the best looking kid around. His ears grew too quickly and were much too large for his tiny head. He was thin, clumsy and the shortest kid in his class. All the girls called him names and said he was ugly. He tried to just ignore it but he let it get to him... He was the worst thing to have happened to this small country town in his mind. He had was angry that people loved him for a talent that he really wasn't as interested in as say flying. He wanted to be a pilot whether military or even pirate. He marveled at heroic stories of airship captains and their adventures. He wanted to see the world and fly far away from this town. One day he worked up the courage, and announced to his parents that he didn't want to be an inventor, or a mechanic but and airship pilot. They were not pleased with this news and told him he would never be remembered in the world as a pilot, but he would be if he invented something amazing. One day his parents sensing his unrest, felt a change in environment might change his mind about his future profession, and decided it would benefit him most to go live with his uncle in the city, far far away from home. His uncle was a mechanic and had a lot of great contacts, Khoau was so excited to be given this chance to leave all his bad memories behind. He could learn a lot from his uncle and be closer to the things he wished to someday understand, fix, create, and even one day captain. Leaving that town was the easiest thing Khoau had ever done, and for the first time in his childhood he felt a deep happiness that filled him to the core. Life in the city was a lot different but people weren't so focused on him anymore, they were all more worried about themselves which Khoau obviously didn't mind at this point. He lived with his uncle in his tiny little one bedroom apartment for five years, visiting his parents once or twice a year till one day new of their deaths came in. It was the beginning of the war and raiders had ravaged his little hometown. His older brother survived, but didn't want to have anything to do with Khoau, he had enlisted in the army and was off never to be heard from again. Khoau felt guilty... like he should have protected them, and visited more often. It tore him up to a point where he could no longer focus on his school work and was kicked out. And on top of it all his uncle was no longer getting money from Khoau's parents for housing him, and had no intention of keeping him around anymore if he didn't at least go to school. So in a whirlwind Khoau found himself without a family, and without a home. It was overwhelming at first but he eventually pulled himself together long enough to score a job at a local mechanics... Though he knew this was no way to live his dream, he decided it was time to leave his childish dreams of flying behind. And besides, the owner even let him sleep in the upstairs attic for free. So he spent another three years of his life there, earning a great reputation as a mechanic and engineer. He also met Taj within this time, Taj had been a milk runner and worked next door. He was fired for drinking the merchandise and came around the shop looking for food. Khoau saw him poking around and decided to help the little guy out. They soon became great friends. you could never find one without the other, and though things still looked bleak to khoau, they were better. Despite the ongoing war, the famine, his abandoned dreams, and all the troubles in the world... things were going to be alright for him.
Quick Story Review
Khoau's story which has yet to be really revised or anything will start with him working late one night at the mechanic shop, he turns in finally as night turns to early morning. He awakes abruptly to banging and crashing. Taj has heard it too and is afraid. He goes down to check and sees some dark figures looking through the shop frantically eyeing things then throwing them aside. One spots Khoau and grabs him. They question him and threaten to end his life. They are looking for a very parculiar part for an engine of a fast warship. Khoau figures out that these thieves are pirates, their ship had been damaged in a battle and they have travelled far to this shop in hopes of obtaining this part which no longer resides in the store. Khoau is given his life in return for his service. He is taken hostage and forced to build the part for their ship. He should be petrified through it all but he is excited more than anything. This could be his chance to fly. Over the course of his story he becomes the guy to go to for any weapon malfunctions or vehicle breakdowns and the captain deems him worthy to be a part of the crew. And that is about as far as I have gotten (it will be made in much more detail of course, no worries there). I know I will also add some sort of adventure, he will run into his brother again one day during a battle, he will find love (or so he hopes), and eventually may even become captain of the Grim Sales (the pirate ship he was captured by).
I know its a load of rubbish right now, but it is just a basic outline of how his past was. Through role playing I will be able to add more, and give him a better future of course. So hopefully you sorta kinda liked it maybe? It isn't so much of a story as a beginning, just keep that in mind.
Petpet
Taj the tyrannian gallion will be the perfect pet for Khoau. Not only do they match, but I could also see them getting along quite well. Taj is an adorable little guy who is super affectionate and would help ease many awkward situations Khoau may fall into throughout his adventures and daily activities. Taj can sometimes make a scene when he is grumpy or hungry, which I am sure Khoau wouldn't like... But he needs some exposure to a little chaos once in awhile, to get him out of his comfort zone. I am so excited to see the two of them together. *crosses fingers* I sure hope Khoau likes Taj, and chooses him as his petpet.
Adoptables
Finaly got them up and I made a spotted one!
I was trying to find spotted lupe adoptables all over the place and didn't see a single one sooo... I made one aswell as a fire, faerie and plushie one. Enjoy!
And I know you all already know the rules! No stealing, copying, entering in contests etc.
Customs: Closed!
Trades: OPEN!

Conclusion
And so it ends. I am crossing my fingers harder than they have ever been crossed that I get Khoau. I hope that this application shows just how much I truly do care for him and that you somewhat enjoyed reading through it despite the fact it was thrown together at the last minute due to my big move coming up. If there is anything else I can do to prove myself, or to make this better let me know. Cause I will do it in a second. And if you need any references I would be glad to give those to you. Thank you so much Robynne for taking the time to read my application, and thank you for putting such an amazing pet up for adoption. I can't wait to hear the final decision.
Other Awesome Lupes
Through the storms and the light
You stood by my side
And life is wine
But there are days in this life
When you see the teeth marks of time
Two lovers divide
