Dex

[Dex]

Name: Dex Other Names: John, Lewis, Kelvic Race: Kelvic Ferret Age: 3 (approximately 26 in human) Birthday: Fall 7, 509 Physical Description: As a human, John is approximately 6', with brown medium length hair. He has pointer, somewhat longer, teeth and pointed ears, traits carried over from his ferret side. As a sable pole-cat ferret, he is a dusty brown color, with a small white patch on top of his head, and small black whiskers. Current Location/Home: Riverfall Personality: As a kelvic, he really doesn't care about much yet. He's yet to find a master, so he ends up randomly tagging along following people, randomly helping out around the area. His name he picked when at one point a official stopped him for something, he didn't even remember. When he tried to explain he didn't need one, the official stubbornly refused to go away without a name. About to say "John Doe", a name he had heard at one point for a male without no name, he changed it up a little so it didn't sound like it was fake, even if it was. John lives for the thrill of going places, seeing things done, and learning about things that really weren't any of his business. Anything that limits his mobility was something to be feared. As a human, John carries the fast paced life style that he lives as a ferret, being more agile then most people, and loving to go places that people hadn't gone to before, such as rooftops and sewers, just to explore. Even though he is 21 by human standards, he mentally acts like most people expect a child too. It's not that he's dumb or anything, he just has a care free mentality and has trouble understanding some of societies basic unspoken rules, like ownership. But more then anything, he loves to be happy. If he's not happy, something is wrong, and he has to go find happiness again. History: Born to two Kelvic's who had met at a port city and had him as a child. Once born, he stuck around his mother, a kelvic dog, until he was about a year old. Then he struck out on his own, exploring the city and the sites, not really requiring anything except food sometimes, which he found easily enough with his ferret sense of smell. He also learned that people would give him money for juggling in public, which he then did often to buy food when the merchants got on his case for taking. He had a hard time with the idea of ownership. The attraction to shiny objects and lack of thought about ownership landed him in jail more then a few times. His parents were both bonded to two sailors, and so his family was often at sea. When he was a year old, he decided that he ought to live on his own and find a bondmate. Deciding to return to the city he was born at, even though he didn't remember it, he stopped off at the next port city and lived the life of a ferret hitchhiker, living at sea most of them. His mother told him the name of the city, but he forgot it soon after he left. The only thing he remembered was that large blue people lived there, and so he set out looking for the blue people port city. He eventually found it shortly after something he learned was called the Djed storm, and he then settled there. He lives in a small den he dug out in Kniren park, and keeps what little possessions he has in there. Most recently, some slavers caught him and sold him to a pet store as a pet ferret.
