Description AHHH. HOLY HELL MY DUDES......i don't think i've ever spent this long on a character's colors like, ever..... like seriously this gal went from blue, to purple, to yellow, back to purple and blue, red, and probably more until i finally just went black. originally i wanted her gem to be black tourmaline but no matter the colors i used everything would just look....weird....so i went with gold which honestly was more suited in the long run
also i noticed that no one seems to want to use the curly dog tail?? omg everyone is going with long tails (NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM THEY LOOK GOOD TBH and i seriously almost did too but i wanted to deviate from my usually designs and i tend to always give my characters long tails ghfkgfdghd)

hoo ok so traits:
- standard head
- standard ears
- longer saber + tusks
- curl tail
- idk she was gonna be chaser but she ended up looking more like a standard type so wwww
- gemstone/metal is gold!


anyhoo, this is Omen!

outside of a large, stone mansion, two unsuspecting servants happened upon her rummaging through the mansion owner's massive garden. afraid to get close to the creature, one of the servants quickly fetches the mansion's owner to ask him what to do.
the mansion owner comes out to the garden to see the creature for himself, and he was shocked to see that the creature was a Skrill Hound; one of the most sought-after creatures on the whole continent.

skip forward a few years, and the Skrill Hound has become the mansion's loyal guard, as well as a beloved companion to the mansion owner and his family. she was named Omen, as the gold on her body was seen as a sign of good luck and fortune for the future, and affectionately nicknamed the title "Golden Sentinel." she was even given her own golden armor not only to help her defend the mansion, but as a symbol of her importance to the family.
Omen was given attention and praise nearly all the time. she would patrol the outside of the mansion at night to watch for intruders. during the day she wandered around inside and out of the mansion, earning many pets and pats from the family and servants bustling around.

she lived like this for years and years. slowly, people began to leave. servants had always left and came, but now there seemed to be more leaving than there were coming in. then, fatefully, the mansion owner passed away due to old age. the owner's wife -- now the main owner -- couldn't handle the stress of her husband dying and disappeared without a trace, leaving the eldest son of the family as the owner. yet even with this massive responsibility he also had to take care of his younger brother and sisters. 

from then on most things were okay, though servants still slowly left. after a few years, there was only a few of them left, but at the very least they were loyal and weren't going anywhere soon.

some years passed again. inevitably, the stress caused by the household drove each of the mansion owner's children out one by one, where they went to live a new and more free life. soon only the eldest son was left in the mansion, with two servants.
the lack of people to clean and maintain the mansion has left it filthy and littered. the mansion lost the luster it once was full of.

the eldest child somehow managed to keep the mansion until he passed away of a disease at age 50. shortly after his death, the last two servants left the mansion completely behind, leaving Omen there by herself. 

....

it has been at least 150 years since then. surely no one who knows of the mansion was alive now. and yet, Omen still diligently defends the decrepit, abandoned mansion every night, and wanders around in the day. the lack of social interaction over the long years has left her frustrated and quick to lash out at things -- but she still has a good heart.

Yeeaaah those stories are always so sad ;o;  Always makes me think of that episode of Futurama that always makes me cry asdfgh
Yeah man that armor looks amazing, because even though you didn't do something complex, it still reads very easily as armor and it looks really clean and nice.  I actually learned a lot about simplifying the metal like that!

You're so welcome!
I just kinda imagine her wandering the halls all mellow-like with the slightly chipped and dirty armor; like a really calm ghost doggo.   

The armor is super creative. You did great!
