Darkstripes and the others

Darkstripes and the others

I have created several other characters, besides Darkstripes, so, without wasting any more time, here is a list of all of whom I have created. All of the characters in this section are © me, Aaron Douglas.

Darkstripes
"With the grace and strength of the tiger and dragon, I will survive."

Weight: 283 lbs.
Age: 17 years

Fur Color: Golden-orange, black, white
Eye Color: Slitted crystal blue with no whites

Darkstripes is a polite, friendly fur, willing to give others the benefit of the doubt. He is sometimes a little shy at first, but fiercely loyal to his friends, and playful and a little wild when around his friends and companions. He is a beginner artist, and very few of his works are ever seen by other furs. He is usually a happy, easy-going fur, just trying to be happy in a sometimes sad world, and trying to keep others in a good mood.
Darkstripes is an orphan of unknown origin, and mixed heritage. He spent most of his cubhood moving from foster home to foster home, constantly being the target of fear, untrust, insults and hatred due to his mixed parentage. He would never spend more than a year or so in any one place, and at 13 years of age, he struck out on his own to find a place where he could be accepted for who he was, rather than what he was.

Taking a look at Darkstripes,

"You look at Darkstripes, and he looks back at you, not in an intimidating way, but he seems a bit intimidating as it is. As he looks back at you, you notice he has solidly crystal blue eyes, without a trace of white, with slitted black pupils. He looks back away from you, and you get a little closer look. He stands at about 6'6", taller than most, with a slender, but strong build. He appears to be a tiger morph, primarily, covered by a golden-orange fur adorned by stripes as black as pitch. His chest and the underside of his arms are an off-white in color. He breathes in deeply, and small puffs of smoke drift from his nostrils. You now notice his non-tiger features that hint at a partially draconic heritage. He has a massive dragonlike wings, spanning eighteen feet total, with dangerous-looking wingspurs at the apexes. The back of his wings, as well as the wing support bones and musclature sections are also covered in striped golden-orange fur, and the inside of his wings is covered with a pale orange striped fur. Ivory-colored horns protrude from his head, and as he stretches for a moment, you see he has retractable claws, but they appear more like a dragon's lethal claws than those of a tiger. He wears a white t-shirt with a small peace sign near the upper-right corner, with two long holes in the back for his wings, as well as ragged blue jeans, with a small hole in the back out of which his slender feline tail extends, waving slowly in the air. He glances at you again, and you decide to look away."

Redstripes
"You mess with me, and you're messing with twelve inches of pure, uncontained power!"

Real Name: Crimsonne Hai Draconnus III
Nicknames: Redstripes, Red, R.S., Puff, Scorch, Little Dragon
Species: Miniature red dragon (Draconis Crimsonne)
Length: One foot; two foot wingspan
Weight: 20 lbs.
Age: 5 years
Hatchingdate: July 6
Scale Color: Red, dark red
Eye Color: Yellow
Known Abilities: Flight, fire-breathing, claws, keen senses, night vision, see invisible, latent morphing

An orphan like Darkstripes, Red's parents were killed shortly after he hatched. He was found by Darkstripes one day while hunting for food, and the two decided to travel together, and quickly became the best of friends. Redstripes is almost always bursting with energy, active and curious. He is nearly always happy, and not at all shy, caring little if others think him rude. He always needs to know everything that is going on, and is not afraid to fly over and look at, sniff, touch, turn, pull, or whatever to see what something is or does. He is very friendly and will talk to anyone, usually rapidly and for long enough to make that person wish that he would just go away. When the little dragon doesn't have his nose in everything, he is sleeping like a rock.

Taking a look at Redstripes, you see...

"A miniature red dragon, measuring only a little over one foot in length, covered with crimson stripes. He is constantly alert, looking around and smelling the air. He seems to always hover in midair, usually fluttering around Darkstripes."

Pocaspots
"Um... excuse me, sir... I'm not usually this direct, but this has to stop."

Real name: Unknown
Nicknames: Pocaspots, Poca, Spots, Spotty
Species: Spotted Hyena (Crocuta Crocuta)
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 98 lbs.
Age: Unknown (appears 16-18)
Birthdate: Unknown
Fur Color: Golden, creamy white, black
Eye Color: Blue
Known Abilities: Claws, analytical smell and hearing, good night vision, other unknown powers

Spots is a shy hyena, and she often sits away from other furs, not wanting them to see her as being intrusive. She is exceedingly polite, and always puts others before herself. She is the quiet type, but can be fairly social around her friends, and can laugh at a good joke. However, no matter what anyone says or does, she never seems to be able to fully let herself go. She always makes sure to be polite and courteous, often hating herself for a long time if she accidentally insults someone. She is extremely modest and has low self-esteem, never thinking that whatever she is doing is good enough for whomever she is doing it for, and she tends to apologize profusely. In truth, however, she is a talented artist, dancer, and singer, but she rarely shows her talents, keeping them mostly to herself. She is of unknown origins, and seems to have some importance in the universe itself.

Taking a look at Pocaspots,

"Before you stands a lovely female hyena. She smiles shyly, her blue eyes glittering warmly. Black spots cover her golden-furred back and arms, large and randomly arranged. Her hair is just as black, and hangs low over her neck, round ears poking through the thick hair. She is nude, but her creamy white bellyfur is thick and soft, protecting her modesty. Her tail swishes slowly behind her, long and fluffy, gold colored like the rest of her. She rests on dainty paws, just large enough to hold her weight."

Zackaree "Psychopine" Redquills
"Come on and face me! You cannot defeat Zackaree Redquills!"

Real Name: Zackaree Redquills
Nicknames: Psychopine, Zack, Zacky, Quills, Sonic* (*but not if you want to live)
Species: North American Porcupine (Erethizon Dorsatum)
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 140 lbs.
Age: 17
Birthdate: August 27
Fur/Quill Color: Various Browns
Eye Color: Red
Known Abilities: Claws, quills, analytical smell and hearing, excellent marksmanship, black belt in 3 forms of martial arts, focusing of chi (enabling energy projection and limited flight)

Fast, agile and unpredictable, Zack views life as a sport. Everything is a competition, and although a good sport, he plays hard, fast, and relentlessly. It seems as though his goal is to defeat all who oppose him, but in reality, Zackaree lives for the fight. The end is irrelevant. He is a master marksman, able to hit a tin can over 1000 yards away, and has earned a black belt in three forms of the martial arts. In a real fight, anything can become a weapon to this porcupine. Fists, feet, claws, and quills, as well as tables, ladders, dishes, silverware, and even his opponent may become a weapon. In an organized tournament, he is known to leave without his prize on some occasions, with the thrill of the fight being over. Both of Zack's parents are alive and well, and proud of their son, although they haven't had a chance to see or talk to him since he left at the age of 14, always seeking a new challenge.

Looking at Zackaree, you see:

"A tall, slender porcupine morph. His back, tail, arms, and legs, as well as the top and back of his head are covered with wicked quills. His claws are sharper than those of most porcupines', and his piercing eyes are a disturbing red. He wears loose shorts, ripped nearly to shreds by his quills, as well as a black martial arts belt, a red headband, and a tshirt that always seems to have something different on it. His hands and feet are wrapped in leather, and when outdoors, and not fighting, he often wears black sunglasses with reflective lenses."

Vermithin
"What? You expect me to say something witty?"

Real Name: Vermithin Imodo
Nicknames: Vermi, Verm, Vermith, Vermin
Species: 50% iguana (Iguana Iguana) and 50% komodo dragon (Varanus Komodoensis)
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 192 lbs.
Age: 17
Birthdate: August 27
Scale Color: Green, brown, black
Eye Color: Gold
Known Abilities: Claws, extended analytical smell via forked tongue, minor body armor (scales), tail attacks, regenerative tail, spines along backbone and tail.

Vermithin is a patient, somewhat intellectual fur (no, he doesn't have fur as such-it's just a term). He is known to spend hours on end on a project, and is never quite satisfied with it, always striving to improve. He loves to draw and write, or paint, build, or otherwise create. Vermithin also has a tendency to analyze works of art, literature, and music, often finding errors too late, and becoming quite annoyed. He sometimes seems alien and apart in a crowd, but is known to become very social among his peers, and can occasionally become the life of the party with his irreverent jokes and comments.
Vermithin had a plain childhood, raised by both his parents, and well schooled. Vermithin was forced to move around alot, and as such was unable to make friends for very long. He has never had a significant other, although he has looked, and he hates to be alone. Deep down, Vermithin wishes only to be liked, and tries to be friendly and tolerant toward everyone. Vermithin also has a tendency to stare off into space occasionally, deep in thought.

Looking at Vermithin, you see:

"Vermithin appears to be a lizard of mixed species. At first glance, he appears to be an iguana. Large, smooth scales cover his body, and there are spines along the lenth of his backbone, from the back of his skull, down to the tip of his tail. His fingers and toes end in sharp claws. However, continuing to look at Vermithin, you notice that the coloring of his scales is not quite that of an iguana, and he is more sleek and muscular, with more of a predatory look to him. There is very little loose skin, and his head appears a bit more snakelike, like a monitor lizard. Looking at his coloration, it appears as a mix of the deep green of an iguana, and the two-tone brown of a komodo dragon. His underside is a pale green, and his back, arms, legs, tail , and from the back of his head, beween his eyes, to the end of his snout is a dark brown-green. Black stripes cover the back of his head, and down his entire length, wrapping around his head and torso incompletely, leaving his face and underside un-striped. The stripes on his tail wrap completely arond. Light green spots also adorn his back and tail, randomly arranged.
Vermithin's wrists and ankles are wrapped in leather, with a black watch on his left wrist. On his right hand is a gold class ring, and on his snout is a pair of black glasses. He wears nothing below the waist, as a lizard would have no need to wear clothing other than warmth or decoration, and it is difficult to find legwear that would fit something with such a large tail. On his chest is an old brown vest, unbuttoned, and worn only for decoration."

Those who appear who are not mine

There are other characters who appear in my stories, and here is what there is to know of them. All characters are © as noted.

FireClaw, once known as Talus, is one of three demi-gods of fire. His powers are based on the benificial side of fire.

There is only one person who calls him by his real name anymore: that person is his sister Starlight. FireClaw has found a home with the orphan Darkstripes, adopted Kittina as his daughter, and dedicated himself to protecting his new home and family from evil.

Looking at FireClaw,

"He is a 'morphic fox who has black fur on the tips of his ears and white on his chest, inner arms, and right hand. On his left arm to his hand, he has a tatoo that goes from red (at his paw) to yellow (near his elbow) that resembles fire. His head fur is black which is split in the middle and is kept in a tail that is a little more than shoulder length. He wears dark-blue pants and a black tanktop, boots, and trench coat. You also notice an aura of heat around him."

Lost? Don't know how you got here? It's easy to go home.
