Description Finally got around to posting this. XP This has literally been sitting in my folder for about two-three months now just collecting dust. XD

Anyway, this cutie here is Michael, formerly known as T.J .

Originally a doodle to see if I could put hair on a dog, Michael has undergone many, many, character changes since his first creation. He went through a major redesign last September, and hasn't changed too much since then. I did however, alter a few of his markings to better fit the ones I'd originally based his redesign off of. The new edits were thanks to one of my own dogs who bares the classic Pincher markings, which is what his creamy markings were based off of. He has dropped the 'T.J' collar altogether and now simply bares a normal dog's collar.

As a character, I've decided to completely scrap his original story and start over. He is now a part of a shapeshifter species that I've simply dubbed 'Shifters' and his story takes place in an alternate universe where the Native American legends of the 'Skinwalker' gave rise to an actual creature. A creature that, unlike the legends of the 'Skinwalker' can only shift into a canid form. The form in which each individual can take depends solely on what their parents' were. Michael here, is one of those creatures. I won't go into too much detail about the world I've created for him, but I will say that he is special among his species. He is a half-shifter. His father was a purebred wolf shifter while his mother was human, on top of that his breed(the canid which he can shift into) is a mixed-blood. Meaning it isn't a purebred canine. This is very unusual because only one of his parents was a shifter. If his mother had been one his breed would make sense, but she isn't, and it's very unlikely that she has any shifter blood in her. So, as a result, Michael is a very rare case indeed.

Also, you can't see it very good from this angle, but Michael bares a tattoo of a snowflake on his neck. This mark is of Justin(his mate)'s family crest. This serves as a symbol to show that he and Justin are mated. Like a human marriage, but stronger. As a half-shifter, Michael does not carry a family crest and as such can not mark Justin as Justin has marked him, leaving the husky's neck bare. Also, each mark is different, the mark Michael bares is slightly different from the one that Justin's mother bares. This was done as a way to keep it from looking like Michael was mated to Justin's father or something. XP

Much like Makoza, and Menace, Michael here serves as my third and final sona. He is me if I were male, his name was changed so that it is now what my name would be if I were male. I do actually also go by this name some now, as a go along with me being gender-fluid. As my sona, Michael is my softer side. Shy outwardly, and not too good with large crowds, he is a socially awkward little wallflower who has trouble finding the right ways to start a conversation. Those who get to know him though, see that he is actually very fun-loving and can be very demanding at times. He doesn't take no for an answer and despite being a peace-keeper, isn't afraid to throw the first punch if it means protecting his family. In a sense, he is me when out in public, or when around people I don't know on a personal basis.

He is homosexual and his mate is Justin . Later on in his character story he will become the mother/second father figure to a young female shifter who I will introduce later.

Now for a bit of trivia, unlike with the other two. Michael has yet to be used in any type of representation of myself. So far, I've only used Makoza and Menace when drawing art to represent me.

Base used for his human form was by BaseMania and the original can be found here: Click .

I know. Looking back it's hard to believe they were even the same characters that they were back then. I can say though, it's not only been a growing experience for them, but for me as well. It's helped me to better understand just what it takes to really develop an original character like this.

I sooo wish I'd have seen this earlier. XP You mean the concert/fireworks thing they have at Hunnicutt? Yes, I went, and yes, I enjoyed it. XP I'mma bettin' you went too huh? Because if you did I'mma kick your ass! We. Need. To. Meet. Up! And I'll send you a note later to discuss it, cause this has been a long time coming and it needs to happen!

Anyway, thank you! I'm glad you've gotten to follow him with me, you've even helped in some aspects with those little stories we used to make together! I'm happy with how far he's come from the first little doodle he started out as, him and Justin both. They're my boys, and I wouldn't give them for anything.

Maybe that sucks though. I was actually planning on meeting you up somewhere XD I was with Aaron so you could have spotted that red-head anywhere XD

And I can drive now but unfortunately it is soccer season so I don't have tons of free time but even if I just run to the mall to get some more pre-wrap or something from Hibbets we should have lunch or something

Damn! I seen a few redheads, I'll bet one of them was him. When did you guys get there? I got there around 3:10, and stayed until the fireworks ended. I have to ask, were you guys there for Rick-K and the Allnighters? My little sister was down in the field at the front of the stage with the flag hat and shirt. She was with her blonde friend.(I have to say that, cause you could see that girls hair anywhere. XD) At the end of his show, me, my brother, and my grandmother all went out to our van and just watched the fireworks from there.

And awesome! I was actually just thinking something along the same lines. We should definitely meet up somewhere, and the mall would be a great place to do it!
