 Hello everyone and welcome to yet another contest for a puppy. This contest may be a little bit different than ones you're used to, but that's okay ;D Well now, which of these adorable little puppers is someone going to take home? It just so happens to be this handsome little male, the second oldest of the litter <3  Fill this out and post it to Enter <3 Start: NOW~ End: Saturday, April 4, 2009 @ Noon MST [color=purple]
[size=9][b] Username:[/b]
[b]His Name:[/b]
[b]Meaning:[/b]
[b]Short Personality:[/b]
[b]Response to Prompt:[/b]
[b]A picture that has 'Music' in it:[/b]
[b]Are you Willing to RP with the family a lot?[/b][/size][/color] Rules? Of course there are rules. 1. Don't be offended if you don't win. There's other chances you know? 2. This puppy is pretty much RP-required. Do NOT take this pup then fall off the face of the earth. Eik/James has a hard time getting on the internet so he may be scarce for rp, but i will assure you i will harass the winner for RP with his father and Brother every time im in the thread. Don't go for him if you're not planning to RP him. 3. Whatever name you choose MUST have some sort of connection to music. Obviously the mother is Melody, and Henry Lau is the father. Don't get it? A Melody is a linear succession of musical tones which is perceived as a single entity.
Henry Lau is a talented violinist for the Korean boyband Super Junior (and the name of my departed Hamster)
A Harmony is pleasing combination of two or three tones played together in the background while a melody is being played. Harmony also refers to the study of chord progressions.
A Key is a system of notes or tones based on and named after the key note, while a note is a sign used in musical notation to represent the relative duration and pitch of a sound; and a pitched sound itself.4. EVERYONE who enters in this Contest -and- the naming contest will be thrown into a raffle. After the RP contest has ended i will roll a name, and whoever gets rolled Gets a semi-custom DHS pet on me <3(This does not mean you get it immediately. This means if you snag a slot from a colorist for a Semi-Custom, i will be paying for it XD) 5. In correlaton to 'Rule' #4, No half-assed attempts just to get the semi-custom. I want to see at LEAST two paragraphs, 6 decently-structured sentences per paragraph. Anything else will be considered half-arsed and ignored =) 6. You may take until the dealine to revise your entry. Read on to learn more about the family =)

~About the Family~
Why will i bother to tell you about this family? Well, Seeing as you're probably going to RP with the puppy a lot *GLAREGLARE* you should know what you're getting into, right? That and it may help you with names and personalities =3  .::Mother and Father::.Henry: He is about as laid back as a dog can be, really. He prefers to lay around with his owners all day and listen to music. Although once you really get to know him, he can be a bit of brat. Typical teenager young dog. Violins are his favorite and he wishes to one day be let into a concert to hear a live violin. Melody and his children are his world and he will do anything to keep everyone together.Melody: A gentle, kind soul who will at times speak her mind, no matter how damaging it may be to one's feelings. Like her beloved mate Henry, Melody has a love for music, particularly the Ballads. Her mate and family are her lifeblood and though she is a purebred, she would never think of stepping into a ring if Henry were not there beside her. .::The Bestie #1::.Sungmin: Cutest little booger on the face of the planet. Charming, Good sense of humor and quite the handsome dog. Sound like the perfect man? Hah. Minnie is a total player by heart. Male, Female, he doesn't care as long as there's a nice tail or a pretty face. But he is extremely Loyal to his friends, who constitute as his real family. Don't like how he rolls? Tough. Deal with it or go away. And don't mess with Henry, Melody or the pups. He'll go nuts on yer arse. .::The Bestie #2::.Zhou Mi: Zhou Mi is a very traditional cat, having come straight from China to the United States. As such, he is not quite fluent in english and has to have Henry translate for him frequently as he learns. He has a strict code of rules about behavior, but will at times let his uptight demeanor slip and be a bit more loose. Zhou Mi has no fear, or anger, towards dogs and wishes that both species would just get along. .::Littlest Brother::.Key: Shy, timid and scared of his own shadow, but a total audiophile. Key will usually be found hiding behind one of his 2 older siblings or his younger sister when it comes to dealing with others, but when it comes to music, he is at the front of the pack. He loves to sing and is a bit talented at rapping. For some reason, he LOVES spicy human foods o.0 (His full name is Key of Heart)(In time it will be revealed that he is blind, it will not be instantaneous, merely a decline in his eyesight that leads to total darkness) .::Little Sister::.Audio: Not much is known about her yet, apart from a gentleness mixed with brat. She is usually silent but she can speak but she prefers to speak in important moments or to people she cares about.

~The Prompt~
Let's get to it shall we? I am going to come up with two prompts, and you will respond as you normally do in RP contests.
You are allowed to 'godmode' Brie, Henry's Owner, In order to complete the prompts as you wish. (What's she like? She's me!)
The second prompt implies a LOT about how much my pup, Key will rely on his family ;D (P.S.; the more creative you get, the more brownie points you earn ;D) Quote: Brie, Henry's owner, has just given you to one of her most trusted friends. Tell me about your new owner as well as what you do During a visit to your parents' house. Are your parents there? What about your siblings? Quote: Seeing as you're the oldest brother, you're looked up to. Your younger brother, Key, uses you as his shield and protector almost constantly against his fears. He would probably not survive without you to protect him. What is your opinion of him? Do you help and protect him from his fears? Do you tease him about it? What happens when, one day, you find out that for some reason, he is blind? Does it change your opinion of him? Wondering what the house is like? Look no further

Username: ChaosTheories
His Name: Clef
Meaning: In sheet music, a symbol at the beginning of the staff defining the pitch of the notes found in that particular staff.
Short Personality: Clef takes after his father, but he is more lazy than just laid back. Unless he is practicing his singing or playing with a friend, he tends to lie around and gets grumpy if anyone bugs him. He is also a overconfident show-off who likes to brag about himself whenever he gets his chance. But he isn't overly selfish or shallow... his family, especially his siblings, are very important to him. He is fiercely protective of Key, as he feels it's his job as his older brother to watch him.
Clef's a little rockstar. xD He likes the sound of rock, metal, and alternative music, and the electric guitar.
Response to Prompt: (Prompt 1)
It was still early in the morning when Clef found himself plucked from the warm, sunny place where he liked to doze on the second story balcony and placed into the arms of a strange human. His eyes shot open the instant her unfamiliar scent hit his nose. What was going on? He wiggled but her grip was too tight. Stifling tight, actually. Was she trying to hug him to death?
"Now you be good Clef!" The pup looked helplessly at Brie, who petted his head gently before stepping away. He couldn't understand the words, but Clef was bright enough to realize that something unusual was happening. It was enough encouragement to make him struggle harder while the humans chatted about he-didn't-care-what, until he found a bit of bare flesh. Without hesitation he sunk his sharp little teeth into it and was rewarded with a yelp from the human.
"I think that's a sign you'd better be off," Brie remarked with a laugh. The stranger, a red-haired girl, held Clef away from her body. He met her look with a glare, which made him look cuter more than anything. "I'm sure he'll adjust just fine. You'll come visit, right?"
"Of course," the girl nodded, still holding Clef at arm's length. She swung around and, much to his horror, walked towards the front door. He began to whimper, then whine until it was all out yelping, reaching back towards Brie. This crazy human was trying to steal him! But why wasn't Brie doing anything? She was just standing there, waving goodbye... Traitor! Where was his daddy?! Seriously, where was everyone? He looked around frantically and caught sight of his father, just as they went out the door...
----
A short (and noisy) car ride later, Clef was sitting in the living room of his new home. He pawed at the plush carpet, catching the scents of other dogs. But there were no other dogs in sight, and no trace of them except for an orange squeaky bone lying in the middle of the floor. He was tempted to go get it and run around a bit, but the thought just made him feel lonely. He thought back to the times where he played with his siblings, romping around until they got tired or someone told them to stop and be quiet! Or the times when he sat beside Key when he was scared of the weird loud thing that Brie passed along the floors, comforting his brother until the noise stopped. Or when he sang with his father for the first time, when he teased his sisters for being girly... The memories made him sniffle. Clef curled up near the wall and cried to himself, feeling more lonely than ever.
Suddenly, a horrible sound raked his eardrums. He looked up and saw nothing but black and white spots. He blinked, wondering for a second if he was going blind, when he realized that the spots were actually a dog, and she was looking down at him. As soon as his eyes met hers she grinned, thumping her tail against the carpet. "Don't be sad little guy! Youuu will seee the greatness of this plaaaace~!" she yelled in a sing-song voice. It sounded like an animal being strangled... was she trying to sing? He got up, shaking his head in disbelief. This made her even more excited and she nudged him, singing more gobbledygook.
Clef couldn't help it; he started to laugh, watching the odd spotty canine. "You call that singing? I've heard can openers that sound better than you!"
"Hmmph, that's just a matter of opinion," Chante replied, prancing and jingling her collar. "Hehe, that's better little guy. And guess what? I bet our human will even take you to visit your parents sometimes." At that Clef's ears perked up. He'd get to see them again? He'd be able to goof around with his siblings, sing with his parents?! If this was true, then being in this place with this silly dog wouldn't be so bad. Heck, he might even start liking it here, if he got to listen to music too. His little tail began to wag.
"Really?"
"Of course. She's really nice, you know." Chante paused, her ear swiveled to listen to something in the background. Clef listened too, but he wasn't sure what he was supposed to be hearing. A mischievous smile crept across Chante's face. "Wanna go meet the others?"
Others? Before he could reply Chante snatched Clef by the scruff of the neck and trotted to the next room. He felt more canine eyes on him and he swallowed. But his nervousness was short lived; quickly a grin replaced the surprised look on his face.
Well, if they wanted to look at him, he'd give them a show!

Username: ~InfinityTrust~
His Name: Lyric
Meaning: Lawl
Short Personality:
Lyric... to put it short sucks at music, and he happens to be very sensitive about it. His real talent lies in- you guessed it, painting and art! Though he's not very proud of his talent, and frequently feels like the odd man out of the group. He's a little snark, but he's got an armor full of chips and dents.
Response to Prompt:
(Prompt 2)
Though Lyric was always looked up to he never felt that he should be or deserved it. It seemed odd, with his snide-like attitude, that whenever he received some sort of compliment some how he would pass it on to his older sister. Lyric also would never mention his position as eldest brother when exerting his "authority". No one paid too much heed to it though, since he was a little weird already. An artist among musicians? You gotta be kidding. He didn't fit there... was he with the wrong family? In the wrong body? ...Was he adopted?
Those kinds of thoughts play haunted him, and often when they did he was unable to make eye contact with his parents. Though despite all doubts he knew he was his parent's child, after all, as second eldest how could he not be? Sadly, that was the problem. He didn't feel like eldest, he didn't act like eldest, he couldn't be the eldest. He often attempted to shove all the eldest authority and responsibility onto his elder sister, but often, in vain.
Key though, was something he could not pass on to his sister. Lyric felt so bad that Key had found some sort of hero in him of all people. He tried to encourage Key to hide behind his other siblings or parents every once in a while, and maybe even spread his own wings and fly, but it was already hard enough to reject the little guy and so Lyric always stumbled. He didn't mind though acting as a shield all the time though, it was nice to help his little brother out from time to time- and everyday sometimes. It was nice to be needed. But it all irritated him at the same time, and he just wished that Key would just grow up. Being who he was though, Lyric tried to keep these thoughts to himself. As a protector he couldn't hurt the one he was trying to protect.
So instead Lyric dropped hints. From time to time Lyric would try avoiding him, so perhaps Key might be able to find the bravery in him to face his own fears. A single cry of distress though would always make Lyric come crawling back. He would also try telling him "look how big you've gotten! You're as big as me!" Though he could never make it sound natural enough to make it get to Key's head what he really meant. Lyric really wasn't sure how a short time distance between birth could make it so Key wasn't able to protect himself and he was. Lyric... bared with it though.
But that was before that day... when Lyric finally realized that Key had become blind.
From there Lyric tried to defend his brother with all the more vigor. He never left his side, and even tried to defend him from things Key really wasn't actually afraid of. Basically... he treated him like a baby in some crazy wild world. If Key protested, it landed on deaf ears. Lyric really didn't notice what he was doing though, till someone pointed it out. Honestly... Lyric was just shocked. What kind of brother was he...?
He quickly began to contemplate how he would deal with the new situation. It was his responsibility to act as shield to Key, wasn't it? His duty, wasn't it? Lyric became reluctant though, in agreeing with these thoughts. Key wasn't some defenseless younger sibling... Lyric was just an older brother. This confused Lyric all the greater though. what was he supposed to do then...?
In a bind and at loss Lyric finally looked back to his black sheep talent- art. Music always held the answer, why couldn't paintings too? Forgetting that he was an artist among musicians Lyric began to exercise his talent once more for the first time in a long time. He began to paint his thoughts and express what he felt. The more he painted the more open he felt his mind become. He began to wonder if using feelings was how musicians made their music- and soon he came to the conclusion that it was, and perhaps... he wasn't so odd after all. They were all technically artists... right?
Finally finding himself, Lyric made his decision. He wasn't going to change what he did too much... he was just going to change his mindset. It was time they all grew up. Lyric was not going to treat Key as baby little brother; he was going to act like older brother.
