Thanks for hosting, @hufflepuffbadgeraj :D I had a blast drawing Mudsplash! ============ Bio & Backstory: - Mudsplash, 21 in dog years - Personality: goofball, lighthearted, loving - Backstory: (it's long) Mudsplash- Hero of the forest Mudsplash, known as Mica, was born into a nomadic packs of wild dogs in the mountains of asia minor. His herd would move with the seasons and the food sources. He always loved amusing the other pups in his pack and liked to play around and scout nearby territories. One chilly morning, while he was on his expeditions, the pack made a discovery; the first frost was here. The first frost meant winter was coming, and it was earlier than expected. The pack migrated to the hills, and left Mudsplash behind. When he came back, the camp was deserted. It was late in the evening and he struggled to fend for himself, being only 3 in dog years. Overwhelmed by sadness and fear, the shivering Mudsplash bawled his eyes out, crying himself to sleep. The coming weeks only got harder. Blizzard after blizzard pounded the mountains harder than ever before, and there was no meat for miles. He made a small shelter out of rocks and ate anything he could find for 94 days. When the snow started to melt, the icicles dripped, and the grass started to peek through, he knew it was time to leave. He stayed for 2 more days and prepared for a long trek down the mountains to the twin lakes and the forest below. He set off, and the rigorous journey down took 4 days. He reached the foot of the mountain right when the tulips flowered. Just when he stepped into the grass, he heard a loud hissing noise coming from the cave underneath him. He quickly looked down and was met with a cobra, his greatest fear. Weak from his injuries, it seemed mudsplash was no match for the giant cobra he had stepped on. The cobra silently slithered forward, holding its head high. Then, it struck. Right for his neck. Mudsplash ducked, but not in time and the cobra bit his eye, ripping it out of his head. Mudsplash let out a quivering yelp, his voice shaking from the fear. Blood trailed down his face as he yanked the cobra and pulled out it's venomous fangs. Just then, he saw a honey badger running towards him. As it got closer, the facial expression of the badger became more apparent; it wasn't mad, but rather... disturbed? It was also carrying something in its claws- a leaf. Just then, his eye met with that of the badger, and he felt something fuzzy touch his face gently where his other eye would've been. "Hold still," it said in a feminine voice, "this will help your wound." Mudkip replied, "W-What's your business here.." "To help you, of course." She spoke gently. "The whole forest must've heard your cry by now. Look, everything's going to be alright. This will help with the venom." Later that evening, the honey badger led Mudsplash to her camp. There, he was met with a huge cave that was home to all the honey badgers, and for the first time in 100 days, fresh food. The honey badgers were, oddly enough, friendly towards him as he stayed. The next week, he stayed with the honey badgers and learned a little more about the forest as the last bits of ice and snow melted. On the last day, when he was planning to leave, a huge bear found its way into the camp, wreaking havoc on the homes of the honey badgers. Mudsplash was frightened by the bear, but his heart compelled him to act. He drew a quivering breath, and leapt to his feet. "HEY, YOU. STOP MESSING WITH THEM!" he said, bravely. The bear turned it's head towards him and roared ferociously. He sprang toward the bear, pounding it in the stomach and knocking it backwards onto the ground. The bear scratched Mudsplash's face, and pushed him off. Then, Mudsplash, in one devastating blow, knocked the bear unconscious. Then, he dragged it deeper into the forest for when it awoke. As he returned to the camp, all the honey badgers cheered and applauded him. From then on, he was proclaimed "hero of the forest"- a name he was quite fond of. As a traditional thanks, he was lathered in mud, thus became the nickname "Mudsplash". For years to come, he lived in the peace of the forest, still fending for himself. He became stronger and mightier than anyone else in all the forest. To this day, he lives there peacefully, guarding the forest from dangers and upholding his title. But little does he know, an evil is awakening in the forest. ============ AHH THIS BACKSTORY TOOK AN HOUR!! I Hope you liked it.
