Zip And Rita

Name: Zip

Gender: Male

Age: 3 Years Old, born in Autumn

Island: Born on Reon, lives there currently

Personality: Let’s just get one thing out there. Zip’s a bit on the socially-awkward side of the personality spectrum. He has trouble making friends and then, if he ever gains any, he has trouble holding onto them. He’s pretty nervous and wishes that he could be invisible. Oh, how he envies those with that power. All he can do is run from the scene like a scared little pup. When faced with that kind of situation, Zip clams up. It’s like his body doesn’t want to cooperate with him. His movements become jerky and sometimes he’s barely able to talk. He just sort of freezes up until the fight-or-flight mechanism kicks in and he’s off like a rocket. If it wasn’t for Rita, he’d probably never survive on his own.

Pelt Color: Beige-Tan

Eye Color:One green, one Blue

Markings: He has a darker brown muzzle with a thin streak of the same color running from his muzzle to the tip of his tail. It starts out straight, but becomes jagged and zig-zagged once it reaches his shoulders. His stomach is white and specks of that color run up his sides. He has tattered ears and scars that run ragged over his slim body.

Ability: Extreme Speed

History: Zip’s life hasn’t been the most eventful of existences. His mother and father, though packless, were very much in love with each other and their four pups, all from a previous litter. Zip was born about thee years after his older siblings, and being the only pup in his litter, was treated very special. Though his brothers and parents had no special abilities, Zip’s thin and wispy form hinted at a barely hidden ability: speed. So, of course, his older siblings became jealous. He had a power, they didn’t. It felt as if their parents loved him more. The four males plotted to get rid of Zip anyway they could. If killing him was the only option they had…well then, they’d just have to kill him.
The eldest of the four, Rat, told his baby brother that he, Jowl, Grass, and Whisker, were going to take him out on Zip’s first hunting trip without the guidance of their parents, Rock and Amethyst. Little Zip couldn’t have been more excited. Back then, he’d been a very normal pup, with no socialization problems. The four brothers took him out, far away from their home, and proceeded to tell him how much they hated him, how stupid he was, all the while biting and snapping at the terrified yearling. During this attack, something snapped in Zip. The ability that had been hiding broke free and he shot off so fast his brothers couldn’t keep up with him. He finally collapsed in a shallow stream, severely wounded, physically and mentally. The attack that had wounded his body had also ravaged his mind, shattering the poor pup’s mental stability. He sulked around the territory, feeling alone even though he had Rita to comfort him, whilst his wounds healed. Haunted and broken, his purpose now is to travel with Rita running along at his side, until they can find a place to rest.


Name: Rita

Gender: Female

Personality: Rita’s a very gentle soul, with a bit of spice thrown in there. Though she looks very young, there is much wisdom contained in her form. Since the attack, she has become more than just a friend to her shattered companion. She is a mother, a secret-keeper, a coach and a cheerleader for Zip. When he’s down, she’s there to bring him up. She’s tough on him when he needs her to be, and at other times can be more kind then any creature Zip has ever known.
