Retain colour/species/gender. Possible name change if I find one fitting, otherwise Swapnil works pretty okay. I've started to refer to him as 'Swap', I like that XD References to his full name will definitely be attempted, most likely by the way he comes and goes, possibly also as a play on the words 'swap' and 'nil', where as Swapnil is technically the name he was given as a pup, it's come to mean, in the eyes of the common folk, that he takes things (aka people he's been sent after), giving nothing back, only the absence of the thing.

Continued training alongside Zhaoka (lv 105) (and Pistola but I’ve not started training him yet). Well I am currently in the process of revamping my first pet’s story, nothing dramatic just tweaking it, continuing it, etc... and Swapnil would be going along with them.

Things I do: Overlays, stories, profiles. But I also buy art from other people a lot too.

Characters and story

Zhaoka and Pistola.

Zhaoka’s story hasn’t been edited yet and I’ve only just got Pistola’s app up at the moment, but he does have a full profile, I’ve just not had time to write down anything yet.

Zhaoka got himself mixed up with Merana, and after being turned into a Hydrus Telenine became another one of her slaves.

Pistola was originally a Saharic native, who went to Merana for a blessing of power and speed, but, like Zhaoka, paid the price for meddling in the affairs of the Goddess. She left him as he was, preferring to keep a land-based agent, and instead used her ‘blessing’ on him as his leash.

Pistola has many years to slowly overcome Merana’s mind control and eventually wears it down enough to escape when he and Zhaoka are sent on a mission to recover a magical artefact for the Goddess. He stole the artefact and ran away, with Zhaoka hot on his heels. Zhaoka was no match for Pistola’s willy ways, what with being so much younger than him, and Merana, who was keeping an eye on them, grew frustrated at Pistola’s constant escapes, particularly as he grows used to using the artefact. So she sends a bounty hunter after him. Zhaoka gets caught up in the first clash and Pistola loses control of the artefact, he, Zhaoka and the Bounty Hunter get separated in the resultant sand/magic storm. Eventually, blundering through the storm Pistola finds Zhaoka, who jumps on the opportunity to inform Pistola as well as he can that Merana’s spell has been subdued by the spell.

Pistola and Zhaoka stick together , continuing to try and escape, now with the knowledge that the artefact can be used to stop Merana’s spells and free the creatures under her sway. But the Bounty Hunter is still following them.

I would make Swapnil my Hunter. His being a Telenine would match Zhaoka well and continue to single out Pistola (Feli). He’d have an overlay like the other two (anthro) and most likely art also. Swapnil’s side of the story would involve the tracking of the other two and his battles with them before they slip away again. He'd probably be quite a calculating creature, and coldly effective in battle, but due to an old wound favors his right leg, which can give opponents an opening, doesn't care too much about Pistola, though he is Swap's prime target, as he finds Zhaoka far too interesting. This drives Pistola up the wall and makes him even more focused on Swap.

Other pets

Pets I’m proud of, though none are 100% complete, Shalashaska is closest, he only needs a couple more TC items and some art by Klak (she can’t draw at the moment alas). If these links don't work, weird arse spoilers, I've put them under this spoiler too. http://subeta.net/pets/Shalashaska">Shalashaska AKA the spoilt one. http://subeta.net/pets/Naked+Snake">Naked Snake http://subeta.net/pets/Trainwreck">Trainwreck only got her recently but she’s based on a character I’ve had since 2004ish. http://subeta.net/pets/L%E4rs">Lärs
