This is my character Vlad.He is a norwegian lundehund mix.He was “patient 231” in his mental asylum.Vlad’s only family member was his older brother.Despite loving his older brother dearly,his brother resented him slightly.However, his brother did care about him quite a lot despite slight resentment and would do anything in his power to take care of him.His brother was also in debt to loan sharks so Vlad had to witness his brother being beaten to near death repeatedly.Vlad was also held hostage a couple of times but his brother saved him every time despite his resentment.Vlad got older and his brother became weaker from the numerous beatings.After this, the money that the two had, was used to pay the loan sharks despite it hardly putting a dent in their debt.Vlad and his brother started to starve to death.Vlad saw how weak his brother was and killed him,eating his brothers corpse to feed himself.He then became a notorious cannibal.He killed and ate the dead bodies of his victims just so he could feed himself.He thought about stealing food from others but he started to like the taste of dog flesh.However after cannibalizing so many corpses,his sanity ripped away from his being and he became a killing machine.It took a group of dogs and a stun gun to take him down.He was taken to a mental institution where he got better over time and showed amazing progress in being a functioning, sane dog in society.He felt immediate guilt after his sanity seemed to return and the only dog who could help him cope in the asylum was another patient, Darlene,whom he met a few days after he was institutionalized.Nashira was entered into the exact same hospital and when Nashira had killed a dog who made a snarky remark at her,he was the first to defend her when the doctors came in.He said that the dog had attacked her and that she defended herself.Darlene agreed, saying she heard it happen.He wanted to help Nashira because she looked like a nice dog on first glance. (Of course,later on this turned out to be false).Nashira was still taken away to her room and locked inside for a few days.However Nashira remarked to Vlad silently as she was being dragged away that she would make it up to him and her.She acted on this promise as she broke him and Darlene out of the asylum a week or two after she was broken out.Vlad immediately saw how dangerous and savage she was and told Darlene that they should get away from her.However Darlene talked him into staying.Cannibalistic urges resurfaced in him.He feared that they would come back and now that they have,he seems to hate himself even more.Gemini becomes acquainted with Vlad and offers to give him the dead corpses of the dogs that he tortures for the “Young Bloods” so that he can eat them.Vlad gives in and accepts his offer.He and Gemini become neutral with each other as does Vlad with the rest of the “Young Bloods” in the beginning.Tommy is the only one he feels genuine sympathy towards at first.He often tells Tommy that he is being manipulated to which Tommy snaps at him and threatens him.Vlad becomes more apathetic towards Tommy and starts to hate how ignorant he is to the facts.Vlad also becomes very angry and hostile towards Nashira,stating that she is a murderer and a sociopath.Nashira reminds him of his on-going cannibalism that Gemini told her about,stating he is a hypocrite.Vlad seems to know about how hypocritical he is and seems to genuinely hate being reminded of it.Nashira’s constant mental torture of him doesn’t really help his self esteem either.The only one that Vlad continues to like is Darlene and seems to have feelings for her.However he denies his own feelings towards her,believing that she doesn’t deserve him because of the things he has done.He, much like Gemini, feels remorse for the things that he has done and the things he continues to do.However while Gemini is more open with his remorse, Vlad is a lot more closed off with it.He only admits his empathy to Darlene and will avoid the question when anybody else asks,believing they will just call him a hypocrite once again.Vlad wants to stop his cannibalistic acts however.Perhaps he will in the future? Vlad has an explosive temper and it usually gets him into a lot of trouble as he will threaten to do things like go to the police.Nashira,Tommy and Makani openly take note of this.Nashira and Makani will usually physically beat him up to scare him back into submission while Tommy verbally threatens him every time he sees him.Vlad is also forced on occasion, to do work for the “Young Bloods” as Nashira sees use in him.Vlad is a very good fighter and along with trainers in the Young Bloods pack, he trains certain dogs how to fight better as well.He, however only teaches dogs that he thinks positively of [Not that many.].Vlad wants to get away from the “Young Bloods” but Darlene still wants to be loyal to them,which is why he continues to stay in this life.. ©

My character Luna actually goes way back into when I first ever thought of making up characters.Luna was originally going to be the protagonist of a kid friendly story I had in my head,when I was a lot younger.Later on, I drifted away from her and decided to quit on her altogether.However a year or two after I made “Young Blood” and was still in the process of making characters,I remember Luna and I decided to draw her and Nashira together.With Nashira menacingly smiling at the smaller cat,while Luna seemed un-phased.After this picture, I had the urge to include her in the series.I did just that and her personality was molded into what it is today.
–
Luna is the only (main) cat in my series “Young Blood”.She is a persian cat mix.Her name means “moon” in spanish.Luna had no parents growing up.One day, an orphaned kitten like her, named Aureliano, crossed paths with her and the two became friends.However,when they got older,her dependance,selfishness and cowardice,started to frustrate him.He made other friends as he grew but she hadn’t.So she had been constantly clinging to him.Luna began to have a crush on him,but he became angry at her for being so clingy towards him.He also scolded her for being so cowardly.He left her behind.She begged for him to stay but he refused.Luna,upset and angry,decided to become a new cat.She dyed her originally silver fur,to a bright blue color and swore that she would fight for what was right and be brave for once.This didn’t happen.Being that cats are the less privileged species of the reborn world,it was hard for her to go anywhere away from the cats where the dogs wouldn’t chase her.About 6 months later,she came across an abandoned laboratory in the Corrupted City.She found many syringes and packs of heroin,in the laboratory and decided to destroy them.She thought she would be helping some junkie,and she still wanted to do some sort of good.Unfortunately,that junkie just so happened to be Gemini.He had caught her doing this and he locked her in a room.He got Tommy to come over and he told Tommy that he was going to kill Luna,insisting that he had to help him hide the body.Tommy refused and fought for Luna’s right to live.Tommy eventually persuaded Gemini into letting her live.Gemini told Tommy that if she wanted to live,she would have to pay for his drugs with HER money.Gemini sent them off to go get the drugs when Luna revealed to Tommy that she had absolutely no money.Tommy became annoyed but then decided that he would do her this favor,and use the money he earned on jobs,to pay for Gemini’s drugs.He told her that she could take credit for paying for it and she thanked him,exclaiming that he’s the only dog thats actually shown her real kindness.On this job,when they are leaving with the drugs.One of the dealers grabs Luna,planning on literally eating her (Cats are eaten by dogs in this world.It is considered “savage” by most dogs being that cats are more sentient then other wild animals,but it is not illegal in their society being that cats are looked down upon anyhow).However Tommy turns around and slams a blunt object into the other dogs face,before grabbing Luna and running.They escape and get back to Gemini.Luna takes the credit for paying,however Gemini still seems a bit unsatisfied as it would take longer for him to get up to the same amount of drugs that he had before.He then tells Tommy that Luna would have to work for the “Young Bloods” to get more money and once she got enough,she would have to spend it on the appropriate amount of drugs that was equal to the amount she destroyed.Luna agrees,believing as long as she went along with it she wouldn’t be killed.Luna would normally have ran as far from that place as possible,but she knew that these dogs were rather powerful and they could find her wherever she went.Besides,she liked Tommy,and thought that as long as she got to work with him,it could be bearable.When looking for more jobs from the “Young Bloods” she is introduced to Nashira.She gets worried when confronted with her,but Nashira seems to naturally like Luna and not have any problem with her unlike Makani and Gemini, as well as many other dogs in the pack.Luna is relieved but still has a fear for the husky,knowing she was the most dangerous and could kill her if she said the wrong thing.While making money on these jobs she becomes friends with some other dogs.However, she vanished at some point and Gemini as well as Tommy wondered what happened to her.It turns out that,she went on a slight pause from doing work for the “Young Bloods” and killed an innocent dog in cold blood,with a hatchet.It is unknown why she did this,it is a possibility that she momentarily snapped mentally.She was taken to a mental asylum and was locked away there for a while,after she was given the insanity defense.Gemini decided to let her pass on this one and told Tommy that he would wait until she got out,as he didn’t want her to sneak past what she owed him..Tommy decided to wait also,unsure if he even wanted to break Luna out of the asylum,after what she did,thinking she may be dangerous.However one day,when Nashira faked insanity when she was arrested and was sent to an asylum,it turned out that Luna was in the exact same one.Luna seemed hesitant towards the husky and Nashira,annoyed,remarked that cats are apparently also scared of dogs who they know haven’t done anything to them.Luna,depressed by this remark as it highlights her cowardice,apologized.She explained why she was in the mental asylum.However,Nashira was sent to the asylum 9 months after Luna was and Luna was about to get out in a few days because she showed huge improvement.Nashira asked Luna if she could do her a favor,and asked if she could attempt to get her out once Luna was released.Nashira asked this mainly because her therapist seemed to have it out for her (with reason too),believing she might be kept even longer because of him.Also because she’s “impatient”,she bluntly states.Luna said no at first,saying that she was a killer and she probably belonged in there.Nashira retorted,saying that Luna was one now too,yet she was getting out in a few days.She reminded her once again,that she never harmed her at all in the past.Luna pondered over what she said,and complied,promising she would help.She thought it wouldn’t be right to leave somebody who has been fairly nice to them in the past, in a hell hole.Manipulative nice,sure,but nice nonetheless.When Luna got out she informed her friend Oliver,of Nashira and pleaded for him to get her out,knowing how good he was at breaking into places.Oliver,being fairly loyal to his friend,complied.Luna was then forced back into working for the “Young Bloods” as she still owed Gemini a lot of drug money.Luna is still a very cowardly and paranoid cat.She is a pathological liar out of primal fear for everybody around her.She can also be very disloyal when the time calls for it (ex ; If she and a friend were being chased by a bear or something,she would trip her friend to save time for herself ).The only dog(s) that she has shown any actual loyalty to were Nashira and Tommy.The only dog other then them who she doesn’t completely hate is Oliver.She also has a seething hatred for Makani and Gemini as they constantly demean and threaten her.Being that she is a cat,most dogs hate her upon sight,so she must always be living in fear.She hasn’t run from the “Young Bloods” yet,but who’s to say she won’t in the future? Perhaps she’ll want to give them a piece of her mind first before she goes? At least then she could have a little integrity.. ©

Tommy is an alaskan klee kai puppy.He is the youngest member of the “Young Bloods”.Before he met Nashira,he had a terrible life.His father was a drunk and physically abused him half of the time.His mother also resented him and verbally demeaned him.He was also the victim of constant bullying at his canine school,his only “friends” being Stevie and Emily.One day while at recess,one of the bullies, threw a textbook at his head.Tommy got hit with it and ran off,he jumped the fence surrounding the school and collapsed just beyond it,crying.He looked up and saw Nashira walking towards him.She carried a sincere smile and patted him on the head,remarking “Its terrible,how unfair this world is,eh?”.A Bit confused,he backed up.Being that he didn’t even know who she was,he got worried.She told him vaguely,that she could be his friend,if no one else would be.Suddenly a teacher from the school,called out the puppy’s name in panic.Nashira quickly backed off,as to not be seen and told him to meet her by the fountain a couple of blocks away from the school.Tommy had to pass this fountain everyday to get to school in the first place and being that he really didn’t want to go home to his parents,he did what she told him to do.Nashira told Tommy that she was passing by the school when she saw the incident.Nashira also commented that he seemed “damaged” on the outside.She pressed him for details.No one asked about his problems before,so he told her about the bullies.He told her about the only two friends that he had,stating that he feels like they resent him.He then told her about his parents.She remarked that she was a lot like him and that she could help him.She promised him protection and care,as long as he was willing to work for it.He asked her what she wanted,and she effectively avoided the question,saying that he would find out but he had to give her an answer first.He said that he should probably think about it first,because of his friends.She emotionlessly reminded him of their supposed resentment toward him and coldly stated that they wouldn’t care if he left anyway.He saw her point but stuck by what he said,feeling he needed time to mentally prepare.She stated that she would be waiting by the western border of his town in the early morning to the afternoon ( in case he had already decided in the morning and unless he needed to think it through during the rest of the day ) Once he got home,his drunken father threw a beer bottle at him while his mother spewed insults at him left and right just for being a couple of minutes late.Tommy snaps slightly and grabs the beer bottle in his jaws,smashing it over his fathers head before leaving his mother in shock.He walked to the western border of his town and waited there until Nashira came,as he knew he couldn’t stay home with what he did.He eagerly agreed to her request when she arrived and she took him to the “Corrupted City” ( to be explained later on ).She tells him that what they do may not benefit others but it will benefit him indefinitely, and thats what has to matter to him.He doesn’t fully understand but goes along with it.Nashira states that as long as he wants protection and care,that he won’t spew information in public ( Tell anybody about what they are doing ).Tommy promises that he wouldn’t betray her.Nashira sends him on a “test” job with Makani and during this test job,he kills another dog to stop him from grabbing Makani. ( Who had dropped his necklace and quickly turn around to get it. ) Tommy was given a knife for protection just before he went on the job and he lodged it in the other dogs neck,killing him by accident. ( Much like Nashira did when she was younger ) Makani approves of this and tells Nashira about how he did on the job.Nashira seemed to become even more enthusiastic when she heard about Tommys first kill.Tommy felt bad that he killed that dog,but he was glad to get into the “Young Bloods” nonetheless.He stayed loyal to the “Young Bloods” despite him knowing how heinous their crimes were.He saw past these things,as Nashira was the only one who ever showed him kindness.When other dogs say that she is manipulating him,is the only time he ever physically threatens others.However despite his hostility towards dogs who oppose Nashira,he is actually the most kind and remorseful of the members of The Young Bloods.Definitely more so then Gemini,most likely because of his age.He also cares substantially about the dogs around him and even feels pity for his enemies at times.He was the one to convince Gemini to not kill Luna,much like Nashira for Makani (She did it for selfish reasons, unlike Tommy, however ).He also saves Luna on a bunch of other numerous occasions.However he is quite capable of doing very cruel things and feel no remorse, as long as it is justified. ( I Can’t give an example because it would be a spoiler, lol ).He seems to care a great deal about Darlene and even begged for Nashira to let her live. [ Nashira wanted Darlene dead at a point because she was useless to her. ] As Tommy looks up to Nashira, he also seems to look up to Darlene.Darlene seems to be like an oracle to Tommy and gives him advice when he needs it.His biggest weakness is his naivety as well as his actual size and physical strength.He can only rely on weapons when fighting.His biggest fear,is rejection from his friends.This fear seems to prevent him from standing up for whats right..We can only hope that he will change.. ©
