This is a compilation of, well, anything I want to write about my characters. Most, if not all, of these are backstories for my characters. Working on transferring stories from impressive hearts and fixing the colors.
Drio
-How Glitch "met" Drio-
The green eyed liger snarled at his father as they had yet another disagreement. Glitch was only a cub but he was a very emotional cub, unable to act appropriate to his brother who was now the new leader. He felt no need to show respect to his own brother but his father often scolded him for such things.
This fight led to where it always did. Glitch stormed out and sat on his own outside the den and on the edge of the territory. He sat down beside a tree, placing his head on it and shook with upset sobs, anger and sadness combining equally. So much stress pressed on his brain and he felt no control anymore. "Shhh, relax, Glitch. There's no need to be so upset." At hearing this strange yet familiar voice, Glitch sprang to his paws, nearly hyperventilating in fear as he was very far from his clan.
No matter where he looked there was no one. "Sh-show yourself you c-coward," Glitch cried, backing even more toward the tree.
The voice was still rather calm and sounded as if he were very very close. "Quiet, friend. My name is Drio. I'm only here to help you," he said very gently. Though this voice was a different dialect than Glitch was used to, he could tell Drio wasn't that old and probably the same age as him though Drio held so much of a soothing tone it was surprising he could be a cub.
Glitch kept his eyes open as he looked around still for Drio. "If you aren't going to hurt me, why can't I see you?"
Drio made no appearance but only responded gently, "I am you." The young cub was thoroughly confused. "What do you mean?"
"I am a part of you. I am in your head. Many don't approve of anyone in their head but I'm only here to comfort you. I am here to be your logic and help you figure out solutions. Now, there is only one way you will be able to grow in this clan and be safe. Do not cross your brother." This voice was very calm about this whole situation but it was easier said than done for Glitch.
"It's not that easy," Glitch snarled.
There was silence and Glitch briefly thought the voice had left until he heard soft humming in his head as if Drio was thinking of a solution. "Perhaps," he paused, "I could take over should he come near. There is only one thing though..." Glitch stayed silent, waiting for the rest of this message. "You cannot speak to me like you are. Just think what you need to say to me. As I said, I am in your head. I can hear what you think."
Just as Drio finished, Glitch's brother Frame stepped toward him. "Hey, Glitch," he called. He quickly made his way over to his brother. "You shouldn't be so close to the edge of the territory," he snapped.
Glitch grew angry but the second that anger took over him, he was replaced by Drio who hid his dialect to the best of his abilities. "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't realize. I'll head back right away." Frame was obviously very surprised at such respectful behavior. "Oh, well, thank you." Drio nodded, heading back to the dens. He quickly gave power back to Glitch. "Whenever you need me, I'll help," he offered before growing quiet as Glitch continued on with his night. Keel
-How Glitch "met" Keel-
She was beautiful yet she walked past him as if he were a ghost. Ila was her name and nearly ever male had fought for her attention in his clan. Her eyes only fell on the tough ones in the clan, those who were warriors in training. Glitch, on the other hand, was unsure of his ranking yet since he was rarely a fighter and Drio was more of his logical thinking.
After staring at her for a moment too long one day, another male approached, getting up in Glitch's face. "You checking out Ila? Well, she's mine, half-breed," he snarled. This male was one of the strongest in the clan and destined to be Head Warrior in no time. Glitch held a little bit of height over him but this male had much more strength. He wasn't the brightest male in the clan though but Ila rarely cared for logic.
The members of the clan began to stare since there would usually be a fight for the female with such behavior. Glitch held no threat in his expression or tone as he replied, "I don't believe she's made that decision yet, Dako." Drio held no say in this argument, gently praising Glitch for holding off on fight though he was ready for one.
The male snarled louder at Glitch, baiting him into a fight. "And you actually think you have a chance?" The male was now laughing along with a few other members of the pride. Glitch glanced up to see his brother Frame surveying the scene from a hill along with his father. His mother was behind his father unwilling to help her cub out of this situation. Kover, his nicer brother, sat not too far away, looking worried for his younger sibling but knowing he would get in trouble for interfering.
Glitch looked back to his opponent. "Anything's possible," he reasoned, his bright green eyes fixed on the dark brown ones of his opponent.
Dako growled. "Why don't you prove your worth you waste of space?" He swatted at Glitch who quickly ducked thanks to a pull from his protector, Drio. 'Don't let him bait you, Glitch,' Drio warned. 'But if I don't fight, I will bring dishonor to my parents and myself.' Glitch narrowed his eyes and lunged at Dako who jumped out of the way, grinning now that his bait was taken. Cheers came from their clan, ready to see the two fight over Ila who watched with eager eyes though she already had assumed who the winner would be along with the rest of the pride.
The two circled each other and pounced, each getting a few good smacks in. Dako sprang forward once, hitting Glitch in the head once, drawing blood. He then butted his head with Glitch's and rammed him to the ground. "Is that all you got, half-breed," laughed Dako, barely even panting at the effort of defeating Glitch.
Glitch stayed where he was, his head throbbing. "You okay, bro," questioned Kover over the small chatter of the crowd. He asked this at a distance, unsure if the fight was truly over.
'How dare he make a fool out of us,' a new voice said. Glitch glanced up, not seeing anyone he didn't know. 'Ve Vill CRUSH him,' the voice snarled. 'Geet on jour paws, Glitch.' Glitch didn't move and the owner of this voice took over much like Drio had before. This was not Drio though. It was like Drio's alter ego.
Glitch watched as he got to his paws and the laughter died. Dako only held his grin. "Ah, the loser doesn't know when to stop." Glitch narrowed his eyes under this new owner's control. 'Lesson number vone, Glitch. Ve do not lose,' the voice narrated, charging toward Dako and using fighting skills that Dako had only just learned. The male's grin was quickly lost as he realized he was losing to Glitch, the screw up of their clan. He was smacked in the head then pinned using all of Glitch's strength. "All right! Fine. You win," Dako pleaded, ears flat.
Glitch regained control, climbing off of his opponent. He saw what this new stranger had done to his rival which wasn't too bad with how scary this voice sounded. Some medics came over to check on the two but their focus was on Dako and his injuries. Glitch turned to look at Ila but she was gone and he heard paws approaching him. He turned to see Frame looking at him with respect. "Never thoughts I'd actually be proud of you, Glitch. That was some pretty nice fighting right there." Glitch smiled shyly and quickly excused himself, sprinting back to the tree where Drio revealed himself. 'Okay, who are you and what do you want,' Glitch thought in a panic.
The voice chuckled, 'Ze name's Keel, Glitch. Like Drio, I'm only here to help. Vith jour fighting skills, jou could need all the help jou can get.''I am still here, Glitch. Keel is here to help you fight your enemies while I am here to calm your fears. Much like your mother and father should have done,' he muttered in obvious distaste towards Glitch's parents.
The sound of paws brought Glitch's attention to Kover who was slowly making his way to his brother. "Hey, you okay?" Glitch nodded.
"You sure? You looked a little... unlike yourself back there."'Vhat's it to him,' Keel snarled.
'Relax, he is on our side, Keel,' Drio scolded gently.
"Yeah, just had the urge to fight I guess," Glitch muttered, turning his back to his brother as he lied down beside the tree.
Kover frowned and leaped into the tree. "Just don't end up like Dako or Frame, 'kay?" Glitch grinned, looking up to his brother. "I promise that will never happen."
'-so long as Keel never takes control,' Drio added with a smile in his voice. Dizz
-How Glitch "met" Dizz-
It was a normal day. Well, a normal day for a liger with two voices in his head who never could come to an agreement on anything. Drio wanted to approach situations with a strategy, never rush into them. Keel wanted to charge into the situation, take the bull by the horns humans would call it. Glitch just wanted the two to come to a fair conclusion. Glitch was wandering on his own on the edge of the border as usual though most left him alone by now. His personalities would burst through sometimes and drive others away. Normally, Keel was the reason for this since Drio and Glitch often agreed on things and acted in a similar manner. None of them were happy. It was a constant struggle all the time where if one wasn't arguing the others would be.Keel began arguing with Glitch on his way of fighting when a small giggle echoed in the background. Glitch glanced behind his shoulder. '...Did you two hear that?' Drio questioned, looking around. The two only gave a short agreement but all three were on edge. They even looked to the skies for winged creatures but nothing was visible that could speak. The laugh became louder until it was sounding as if it were either Drio or Keel in Glitch's mind. Glitch gave a grimace at the increasing volume of laughter. 'Don't tell me there's another,' he whined softly.
The voice took control, obviously not very familiar with the use of a body unlike Drio or Keel. He sounded a bit younger than the actual age of Glitch. He was probably a cub though in spirit form. Glitch was thrown to his mind with Drio and Keel who seemed just as confused as Glitch was about this new owner. They stayed silent as the crazy cub-like creature looked around. It was as if they were looking through the eyes of a young cub since his eyes wouldn't stay still for a second. "Oooo look at that!" He pounced at a blue butterfly that quickly flew in the air after the pounce.
Drio was the first to speak out of the three. 'Excuse me, but who are you?' The cub stopped pouncing around and forced Glitch back to the front. If anything, this cub at least knew how to force someone out and hide in Glitch's mind. He was obviously spooked by the voice though and Drio was quick to act on it. 'We don't mean you harm. We're only curious.' The cub-like voice spoke though the voice still sounded as if he were positively insane or mad as a hatter. 'Dizz is my name and crazy is my game! Hehehe!' Drio turned his attention to their master. 'I believe Dizz was sent here to make you happier and to lighten the mood.' Keel snarled, 'Just vhat ve needed. An annoying little brat to drive us to insanity.''From what I know, you guys aren't that far from it,' Dizz rejoiced with a new shriek of laughter. Glitch only shook his head. It was going to be a much longer day than he expected.
