$$ Arthur $$ $$ Male $$ $$ Straight $$ $$ Demanding, stuck up, loud, incapable of taking care of himself, sometimes pitiful, harmless $$ $$ Canine $$ $$ Arthur was born into a wealthy family. His father had a very high paying job, so they had a very big house, butlers, maids, chefs, and more. He grew up very spoiled, as he was an only child, until one day something happened. It began to flood. It tore up the walls of his home, flushing out everything. Him and his parents rushed to the top floor, but they knew it was too late. Quickly, his mother grabbed an inflatable raft left unopened for years. They all got into it, just as the water took them out the window. They soon realized there wouldn't be space for all of them. So, caring only about survival, his father shoved Arthur off the boat. He yelled in surprise as the freezing water dragged him under. Since he was never taught to swim, he pathetically kicked his feet to get to a tree. He grabbed the sunken trunk and pushed his head up. It took him a moment to gain his sight again and spot the boat. "Dad! Mum!" he shouted after them, not understanding. Why would they do this? He sat still for a moment, freezing wet, when all of a sudden a wave came crashing over him. Arthur felt something hard hit his head, and everything went black. *** As he woke up, Arthur saw around him were rocky sands, waves crashing over his paws. Above him three dogs about his age had gathered, looking at him nervously. They seemed concerned, and Arthur didn't like that. 'Why are they concerned for /me/? I'm no mutt. I'm their master, their commander!' One of them reached out to him with her paw. "Are you okay?" she asked. Arthur scrambled to his feet, snarling pathetically. "Get out of my way!" he shouted. She jerked her paw back as he shoved in between them all, running past them towards the town. He ran across the road and made his way to some bystanders. He grabbed a cat by the shoulders, baring his teeth. "Go find my parents! And while you're at it, find me some food and a blanket. I'm getting cold!" she hissed and pushed him away, startled. "Arrogant little.." she walked away before Arthur could hear her finish. He was very confused and angry; why weren't they listening? They did back at home. He ran towards a dog, frustrated. "Get me in shelter! It's beginning to /rain/, servant! Go find some decent food and sparkling water." the dog stumbled back, baring his teeth. "Get out of my way, stubborn little kid." he shoved past Arthur, walking down the street. He was stunned. Why wasn't anyone listening? He continued to demand things from other animals until it got dark. Arthur stood there, shivering. He was cold and alone; two things he never expected to happen. He sat with his back against a wall, wrapping his wings around himself for warmth. $$ Credits $$ Art Program Used - FireAlpaca Background - Me, each individual star hand-drawn with effects layered on Character - Owned (currently) by , drawn by me - dots/sparkles hand-drawn with effects layered on $$ Side-Note $$ I really love this character, I hope I have a chance at winning! <3
