Dream-Eating Monochrome Baki
The Dream-Eating Monochrome Baki [sing. Baku] (Canis Alba Nigra) is a species of Canid native to the wilderness and remote areas of Asilia, Ficho Tunnel, and Fluorite Plains. Males average to grow to about 43-47 kg, with the females being slightly smaller, adults averaging in to about 38-41.3 kg. It is similar in body physique to that of a grey wolf, or other large canines, but has a deeper chest and long, slender legs built for running at top speeds of 46 mph. The fur of a Monochrome Baku is usually long, but thin and sleek, and is usually shades of grey, black, or white in coloring.
Within the genus Canis, Monochrome Baki are deemed much more advanced than their wolf, coyote, and domestic cousins, as demonstrated by their higher endurance, intelligence, and speed. While it didn't undergo the morphological adaptations a wolf did, it went under some changes of it's own, such as larger ears and thinner, longer tails for communication, and the fangs they use to feed with. It is a social animal, traveling in a large group of family members and strangers alike, in a fashion similar to a kingdom, lead by the King and Queen, then closely kept in line with Officers and the like. It feeds mostly on the essence of various dreams, but has been shown capable of eating smaller animals, such as fish, rabbits, and mice.

Anatomy
The Monochrome Baku is a slender, wily animal with a large, deeply descending ribcage and a sloping back. It's abdomen is pulled in, and it's neck is moderately muscled. It's limbs are long and well muscled, with wide shoulders and tapering paws leading to five toes on the front paws, and four on the back. Compared to wolves, Baku are smaller and thinner.
The Baku's head is small and light, with a short, tapering muzzle and a wide forehead and strong jaws. Their ears are longer and triangular, and it's teeth are mostly small (more suitable for eating small prey) with four sharp, needle-like fangs that help them harvest their fill of dreams.
The Baku normally carries it's head up high, unless stalking prey, and it travels with a trotting pace, lifting it's paws high as if cantering.
Base coat color ranges from white to black, with varying patterns of in between shades of grey. There can be no color in their coat besides black, grey, and white, hence the name "Monochrome". The eye color of the offspring, (often referred to as cubs) are generally colorless, usually exhibiting a faint shade of color of the color their eyes may be. Fully mature Baki usually have brightly colored eyes of a single color, with the usual whites of the eyes being black, and the slitlike pupil the same. To all Mary-Sues: Baki eyes can NOT change color with mood. EVER. Baki hate the irregular, so any signs of this would be killed at birth. You have been warned. There is NO acceptance!
Behavior
(http://i45BannedImageSite/20jsy1.png)
Social and Territorial Behaviors
Although some Baki are solitary, they've proven to be highly social in behavior, living in units of up to thirty members. The basic social unit of the pack is divided into three archs; The Monarchs and their Offspring, The Elders and the Sages, and the Guards and Hunters. In ideal conditions, the elder offspring of the Monarchs will succeed their parents after choosing a mate, and any others would become either Sages, or Lords/Ladies, put almost on the same arch as their sibling. They are generally open to newcomers, but are defensive over their host pack, or the pack of wolves or other such animals that they feed from. They are rather nomadic in nature, either just wandering aimlessly, or following their prey. They are monogamous, having a mating pair for life. They can give birth once every two years to a single (or rarely) two pups.
Vocal Communication
Monochrome Baki are capable of many sounds, such as growling, snarling, barking, small chuffing noises, whines, and loud whoops....and even cackling. However, they do not have the vocal capability to howl, therefore, they do not howl.
Subspecies
There are two subspecies of Monochrome Baki, and pups can be born as either, regardless of ancestry:
- Nightmare Baki: are Baki who consume the Nightmares of their prey, and will sometimes leave Dreams for them. However, asking for Dreams means you pay a small price on the whim of the Baki. Long term supplies of Dreams to a single prey will result in the Baki probably asking higher, riskier prices...again on their imagination. These Baki are usually mainly white in coloration, but it can vary.
- Dream Baki: are Baki who consume the Dreams of their sleeping prey, and leave Nightmares. This subspecies is generally seen as more harmful, and are liked less than their counterparts, even if they're both relatively parasitic. They do not make deals with their victims, and just feed when available. Generally darker in color, but lighter pelts are acceptable.

I will have screenshots up as soon as Feral Heart comes back online.
Use and Creation
The name and diet of the Monochrome Baki come from the song, "Dream-Eating Monochrome Baku", by Len Kagamine. Everything else, from the design to the social structure, belongs to me, so while I encourage the conservation of the great Baki, please do not claim them as your own. Please also note that if they don't follow the above specifications, they are not Baki. Please, if you have created one, tell me below!

I have now added pictures! Yaaaay!

<3333 Vocaloid... Len's my favorite. x3
This is such a great species... The temptation was too much.
I made it a near-white gray, if it's okay. It looks greenish due to the fur texture...

Name: Naiad
Age: 3 years.
Gender: Male
Species: Nightmare Baki
Personality: timetoslackoffAlways circumspect in behavior, though at times making space for those eternally despised occurrences named "mistakes". Rather unforgiving of others if by chance they interfere in his daily life without consent, although not the kind to push others aside at first glimpse. Rather curious as well, though keeping his traditionally careful behavior all through any "exploration".
Are you making a Kingdom?: Eh, nope.
Rating on the species: 5/5. c:
-
Excellent! I love the color and the character all together! And the fact you're a Vocaloid fan too makes me happy! ^u^
-
x3 Whoo, good to know I followed all the guidelines -- I was a tad worried that it wouldn't meet the species' requirements. ~ Hey, and it's also great to find another Vocaloid fan. ;w;
-
I'll post Andrian's in a little while. I'm also making a kingdom, would you be interested?
-
Ooh, I'll be waiting for that to happen. ~ And that sounds quite tempting in itself, so I'd be glad to join.
-
Is this still active? ;' I need to start using FeralHearts again as it lays on my desktop, collecting dust.. :3

Well this isn't exactly a group - and I still use my character of this species, so I guess so. xD
-
ono;' Oh, I'm sorry. I never ventured this far out into the forums (Off-Topic is my home base), so I'm just a bit new to this whole.. group.. roleplaying..online..stuff.. Thank you for answering my question though. (+floof!)
-
D'aw, thanks. cx And hey, we all get lost during our first voyage through the forums. It happens. x3
And I believe that you can make groups of this species, with the creator's consent.
-
x3 Hey Soar, decided to venture from Bluebird to the Baki? It's still active, but I've made a sort of...spin-off rp. I'll be back to rping Andrian soon.
-
-
Welp, blank charrie form. And that's a good question...
And, if there's an RP for this, I'm interested. x3
-
Sorry about that the W.i.P. stage of my forms, I was going to make sibling Bakis but the thought struck me about how they'll well interact towards each other. I promise to fill in everything later in the evening. OTL ;'
-
The Nightmare/Dream Baki thing is no more than a food preference. A Dream Baki wouldn't die if they ate a nightmare, they just wouldn't like it as much. So as far as family interaction goes, there isn't much prejudice. It's more in the regular animals' eyes that this is a big difference.

Screenshot: --coming soon--
Name: Andrian Sootfur (Icemane)
Age: Somewhere around two years, a little less
Gender: Male
Species: Nightmare Baki
Personality: Andrian is sweet and polite to all that are superior to him. And as a servant, that is QUITE a few Baki. He is extemely dutiful and obedient to his sibling, and does whatever they order. He knows for a fact he was once the prince, but simply makes no fuss over it. However, when he comes across an animal, or the rare Baki, that he considers LOWER than him, his personality changes drastically, seeming to lash out any abuse he can towards the creature, like it's an outlet for the fact he was SUPPOSED to be important.
Rank: Servant
Are you making a Kingdom?: Eyup
Rating on the species: 4/10
-
Ah, thanks for clearing that up.
... Why 4/10? o.e T'is yer species after all. Not happy with it?
-
Eh, they just don't seem that good. You have the other peoples' species on the page that they put much more detail into.
-
Aye, though the concept itself is good and easy to follow. ;u;
-
Anyone mind if I just muck around with a Dream Baki?
-
Of course not! Feel free to make one!
-
Alright, thanks. Her name's Jinxx.
-
Nice name you got there. If you want, you can fill out the form, it's always fun to get to know other's characters. cx

Name: Jinxx (a.k.a. Jinxxy-Winxxy)
Age: About 20, in human years
Gender: Female
Species: Dream-Eater
Personality: To put it simply, she's a trickster and a spazz. She devotes a good chunk of her time to bouncing around, bugging random people, tricking people, and generally just pissing off everyone within ten miles. She often uses her diet and abilities to her advantage, and she actually picks out animals that may have nightmares and devours their dreams; almost ensuring that they do.
Yeah, she's kind of a jacka**, too.
Rank: ...Does loner count?
Are you making a Kingdom?: Maybe someday. Not for a while, though.

I do have a question, though. How exactly do Baku use their fangs to feed? Just a little very, very confused.
By the way:
Clown = 1 star
Carrot = 2 star
Purple = 3 star
Kitty = 4 star
Banana = 5 star
-
Banana... xD How creative. That's a rather mischievous personality she has there, I'll keep on the lookout for a screenshot. And hmm... I'm not sure on that either. xD
-
Alright, I added a screenshot to the form. Thoughts?
-
Hmm, looks good. ~ Them emerald green eyes contrast with the rest of the darker shades in quite a pleasant way.
-
Ahh! Another Dream Eater c:! I can't wait for the rp to open if it would but in any case, if anyone is online yet wants to use their Baki, just pm me on which one and I'll gladly rp with ya' c: !
@River-White-Wolf:
Her personality seems familiar to those of the 4th wall-breaking kind (Deadpool, Pinkie Pie) and her design is nice. c:
-
Ooh, okay, I'll keep the PM in mind. xD I've been checking around what to do, since I've been bored recently, and roleplaying's always a blast. ~
-
This is excellent :3
-
This is excellent :3
Indeed! c: And if by chance you feel tempted to make a character of this species, you should go ahead and post -- the more, the merrier. <3

She probably will do a little 4th-wall-breaking. I tend to do that a lot, and I do have quite a few wall-breaking characters.
-
could i be one? also is there a group for this?
-
There will be a group, in time. As of right now, No. I need to think of a good name for the kingdom. May I have all of your FH usernames, so that I can contact you in-game?
However, feel free to make one!
-
My in-game username is the same as the forum username so there won't be any problems locating me. Regarding the name of the kingdom, how 'bout Somnium Moenia (Dreamer Dwellings)? I couldn't think of anything clever at the moment but it's at least a start.
-
I loved the character! :D
-
I like that name, and I'm actually Hipster Rin in game, so not too hard to locate me either. xD
-
Could i be one? if so i will be a nightmare Baki and i will be a male one named owlflight. also, is there a group for this? PLEASE REPLY
-
Of course you can be one! There is an in-game group, named the Mammon Pack, that resides in Fluorite. Just look around for either winter003 or Hipster Rin advertising for it, then give us a whisper!
