Also, since I enjoy breeding my lifemated pets, please make sure the applicants are the same species. Something else to note: while I will accept same-gender breedings, I will not accept same-gender lifematings, so make sure your pet is the opposite gender.
Now, enough of my blabbering - on to the pets!

Name: Arlington 'Arlie' Dumas
Lineage: Custom
Part of the cursed branch of the Dumas Clan, Arlie can give you directions to any place you want to go, but if he tried to walk there himself, he'd probably get completely lost. He tends to get lost several times a week, even if he's headed somewhere he's been hundreds of times. It irritates him, but since he's normally a laid-back sort of person, he tries not to let it show. Since anyone who walks with him is likely to find themselves lost as well, he tries to turn it into an adventure of sorts. If he gets lost with someone who isn't a family member, they'd better watch out! He'll probably interrogate them, seeing it as an opportunity to get to know them better. He always carries a small backpack around when away from the house; if he gets lost alone, he is well-prepared to entertain himself with his mp3 player, a good book, and a stash of cash just in case he needs to stop for some grub. When safe at home, Arlie likes watching chick-flicks and the occasional soap opera, although he tries to hide this from his siblings. Old black-and-white movies are also on the list of things he enjoys.

Name: Namaste
Lineage: Custom
About Namaste
Namaste is a beautiful woman, a tiny, delicate wisp of a thing that immediately brings out the protector (and occasionally the wolf) in the male species. Just by looking at her, you can tell she's a classy lady, her hair done up in a glossy black bun and her custom-fitted clothes accentuating every curve. She holds herself aloof from 'normal' people, only associating with them if it is absolutely necessary.
What you wouldn't know from her appearance is that Namaste isn't human at all. She is the illegitimate child of a goddess, shunned by both her parents and barred from the high realms of the gods. Her true form would appear as a black tongue of smoke and ash, but it isn't convenient for travelling among the humans. Instead, she takes up residence in whichever human body catches her fancy. Human flesh was not designed to channel all the power she possesses, so her host bodies tend to collapse under the strain after several months. During their decline, her host bodies are more easily fatigued and tend to be sickly, catching whatever illness might be going around. The time can vary, depending on how often she uses her abilities, but she dare not switch bodies until she absolutely has to. Not only does she wish to avoid the notice of the more righteous gods who might take action against her, switching bodies takes a lot out of her, leaving her vulnerable as she settles into her new form.
As far as powers, she has various parlor tricks she can pull when needed. The strongest of her abilities are these: the power of persuasion/hypnosis (which comes in handy when convincing a rich bachelor to shower her with favors), and the power to take any wound on an opponent's body and cause it to worsen a hundred-fold. If needed, Namaste could cause someone to die of something as simple as a papercut. This comes in handy whenever someone discovers her secret. This little vixen loves to cover her tracks.
Restrictions: None
Note: Looking for a male with a darker personality and some powers of his own that will encourage Namaste to respect him (although she'll probably never admit it if she does). Really, I'd like a Bonnie and Clyde type team, a pair who would get into all kinds of trouble together without worrying about morals and other such trifles

Name: Gravity
Lineage: Custom
About Gravity
If you run into this boy during the day, you will likely find him helping people, whether it be the stereotypical old lady crossing the road, or retrieving a cat out of the highest tree on the block. Try to talk to him, however, and you'll find someone who is a little gruff, who has trouble meeting your eye, and who is never, ever seen after dark. It seems that nearly everyone in town knows who he is and has a kind word to say about him, but no one knows where he lives or where he came from.
This particular Paragon has a problem, a secret that he shares with absolutely no one. During the day, he has no trouble walking around as a human or a Paragon, but once the shadows of night touch him, he turns into a marble statue. This leaves him very vulnerable until the sun rises the following morning, so he takes refuge in a very special graveyard. It exists as a bridge between realities, and also as a safe haven for abnormal or cursed creatures like him. Normal beings can only enter if extended a special invitation from one of the inhabitants.
Although not exactly a people-person, Gravity is under the belief that if he builds up enough good karma, he might just be released from his curse. Thus he continues to live the life of a do-gooder by day, and a statue by night in the hopes that someday he'll be able to live a normal life.

Name: Cassidy Dumas
Lineage: Regalo x Iounia
Out of all the Dumas siblings, Cassidy is the most cheerful. He takes any opportunity to play the clown, willing to make a complete fool out of himself to squeeze a smile out of his sister or brothers. Although he is a little calmer around non-relatives, he is still a little bit of a ham.
He is also dogged by the family curse. For him, it means that even though the forecast for the day might be sunny and pleasant, chances are good that it'll start to storm the instant he steps outside. Although he doesn't mind the rain personally, it makes it difficult for him to enjoy outdoor activities with friends, who generally prefer to stay dry. It can also make Spring storms more dangerous, and during the Winter, he confines himself to the Dumas residence for the safety of others.

Name: Brevia
Species: Fallen Luhna
Brevia is the youngest child of Axis, along with her twin brother, Cassidy. Her portion of the family curse has, for the most part, taken on a more physical form than that of her siblings. Her mouth has been cruelly stitched shut by a thread which, due to its magical origins, cannot be severed or unwound. Looking like a freak is hardly the worst of it; she cannot speak, and she's been afflicted with the symptoms of someone with a severe case of Broca's aphasia: it is very difficult for her to communicate, whether it be through writing or sign language. Words come out of order, and segments of sentences might be completely missing, although her mind is as sharp as anyone else's. The closest she can come to communicating besides expressions and gestures is through her elaborate drawings and sketches.
In keeping with her Fallen Luhna form (soon to come), Brevia can see ghosts. Some are nice, some are nasty, and some are just plain confused. Since she is unable to eat human foods without having a feeding tube stuck in her neck, Brevia has no choice but to absorb these spirits as nourishment. Hating this way of life, she waits until she is nearly starving before feeding, and then she chooses only the cruelest spirits or those who seem to be suffering.

Name: Kisa
Species: Memorial Kuhna
Kisa is a young woman who has a power she considers a curse. She can heal the wounds of others simply by looking at the person, but those wounds then appear on her own body. She's polite, yet very distrustful of others. This stems mainly from the fact that when she was a child, she was kidnapped from her family and forced to heal on command. The organization that kidnapped her used her to make a lot of money, healing only people who could pay their high sums. She was rescued from them after a few months, but her experiences have left her scarred.
She's small, dark-skinned and thin, and always wears a blindfold to protect herself from her own powers. Due to this, she's very adept at finding her way around using her other senses, even more so than a person who was truly blind. Another power, perhaps?

Name: Pagoda
Species: Spectrakuhna
Pagoda is one of the bounciest young ladies you've ever seen, always acting as if she's just devoured a bag of sugar a few minutes before. Her life revolves around one thing: fireworks. Seriously, this girl would set off a Thunder Dragon rocket in the middle of a blizzard just to see how it would affect the storm's sights and sounds. The louder the better! If you can stand her hyperness and her tendency to lose track of the current topic, you will have found yourself a great friend who will stick by you in any situation.
