Here's my entry for Cyan Zappy. For the moment I have a sketch of him with his mate Amelia. ^_^
Name: Cyan
New name (optional): Jude
Age: 5 years
Gender: Male
Breed: ¼ Alaskan Malamute, 3/4 Tamaskan DogParents: Unknown
Mate: Amelia EarhartPersonlity: Jude is a very outgoing guy who always keeps a calm, serious demeanor. He fights to save others and puts a high responsibility on himself for the safety of everyone on the missions that he goes on or accompanies. Before he would ever leave an injured soldier on the battlefield he would give his life saving them. Jude’s view on the world is through reality and the painful darkness that exists in the world. Any dreams that Jude once had were lost when he joined the army. After he is dismissed from the army, he prefers to lounge around and stay relaxed, but will still be fiercely loyal to his friends, and love his future mate with a deep passion.
Likes: saving lives, fighting for good causes, rain, getting supplies to camps in time, always giving everything his best effort, his mate Amelia
Dislikes: innocent lives being lost, soldiers dying, winter, not having enough supplies, the army (only about half the time)
History: Jude was adopted as soon as possible by an able-bodied young adolescent named William. Will (as he went by) raised Jude with love and training that went beyond the basics. Will himself loved his father dearly and was proud of his father’s proud service in the United States Army Core. When his father came home on leave Will would race over to his father’s house with Jude and listen to the stories of world fare. Jude always thought that these stories sounded pleasant and dreamed of being a soldier himself…
Devastating news came when Jude was only about two years old. Will’s father had died giving his life to save some innocent civilians. Jude was hurt himself, but Will was heartbroken and locked himself in his room for the rest of the day. Even being an adult it struck William with a crushing blow to lose his father. His mother had died when he was only twelve years old so he now had no parents. Gradually Jude whined outside of Will’s door and was able to turn the handle by pawing at it with his large paws. Once inside the room he carefully jumped on the bed and put his head against Will’s chest. Grateful for the comfort, Will put his arms around Jude and thanked him…
It wasn’t long at all before Will signed up for the army and Jude was signed up too. They both went through vigorous training and became supplies officers (well, more like Will became one and Jude was his assistant). They stayed aboard large helicopters and helped carry food, weapons, and medical supplies to different bases and even camps on the battlefield. They both had days where they enjoyed this work and days when they didn’t. Both, though, got a sense of reality that toughened them up and gave them a more serious personality…
After being in the army for two years, they were assigned to take a large amount of food and medical supplies to an outlying camp. This wasn’t unusual, but they would have to fly over enemy territory half of the time. While on the flight over, the helicopter was shot at and though they didn’t penetrate the thick plated armor, they finally struck home on the weaker parts. At this point they were just crossing back into enemy territory and there was an explosion as the helicopter burst into pieces. Jude was thrown into the air and through a confusion of parts and debris he felt a searing pain as his left side was cut by a few propeller blades as he crashed into the ground below. In searing pain he blanked out…
Later he awoke to find himself in a hospital room with Will. Slowly getting up he looked in a small mirror and was shocked to see the scars from the propeller. Will had suffered some minor injuries, but a large gash in his left leg made it extremely hard for him to walk. They were both given an honorable discharge and sent back home to Nome, Alaska. There they both recovered from their injuries…
At the age of five Jude was lying on the front porch when a golden-colored female caught his eye. She was radiantly beautiful and her laugh and smile brought a warm flitter to his heart. He went over and introduced himself to her and though she was shy, she talked with him for awhile. Amelia told him she’d come back and did many times over. They would lay on the porch and Amelia would tell her dreams and Jude would tell stories of being in the army (keeping out the unpleasant details of course). Once she asked him about his scars and he told her that story.
One night he arranged with one of his friends to take Amelia on a plane ride. (Her biggest dream was to fly in a plane.) Amelia was ecstatic with excitement and joy when he brought her to the tiny airport. They both enjoyed the flight and afterwards Jude and Amelia became mates…
Relationship to Balto: Jude’s mate Amelia is the great-granddaughter of Steele, and the granddaughter of Dusty and Ralph. (Amelia is in Cat14’s family tree.)
Other: - Jude has three scars on his left side neck, shoulder, and leg, from the plane crash.
- I edited Jude's markings so that he doesn't have eyespots.Permission for Zappy's Thunder to take back character if unused: Yes (but I’d prefer to be pmed…)
