Gavynn;
First came words, then a bark;
The white clash of blue on black.
Third, the smell of leather
Padding softly upon grass.

Personality:
Gavynn is a very laid back individual. He likes his instant food, laying about and avoiding any and all forms of exercise. No exceptions. He is a little OCD when it comes to hygiene, and will wash himself as often as is necessary.
Anthro:
Gavynn is a little on the wild side. That may be an overstatement, as it should be noted that his version of ‘wild’ is something along the lines of eating ten cans of whipped cream or drinking a shandy now and then.
He is nervous most of the time and is always tugging at his tie or playing with his gloves. His nails, however, are immaculate, as he coats them bathes them in a Polish based deterrent three times a day. Or more, if it’s a particularly bad day.
He is single, unemployed and thinks that videos are the way for the future. He refuses to even touch a DVD.
When Raven and Kaye do manage to pull him out of his covers and into the outside world, he has to stop to liberally apply several layers of sunscreen. He burns easily. Once outside, he will hang around arcades, candy shops and anywhere that is issuing forth a techno beat. He has tried his hand at beat boxing, ‘the robot,’ and break dancing. Much laughter came of this, so now he just sticks to bobbing his head.
His goal in life is to produce a sci-fi movie. He keeps a flip-notepad in his pocket that he writes down notes on, for the movie.
Quad:
First of all, Gavynn finds great discomfort in his fur. His fur constantly blows out, and it is not uncommon for him to wake up with only half of it left. This is one of the many reasons why he is so cooped up in his room most of the time.
He is not appreciative at all of Kaye constantly petting him, and Raven’s vain attempts to wrestle him. Both of these usually end up with a quick snap of his teeth and an escape under the bed. Being quite a small dog, he finds it easy to navigate through the dorms and campus without being caught.
Sometimes, he manages to sneak into the campus kitchen and will scamper off with whatever he can find that’s still in its sell-by date. He will then find a nice spot where he will go unnoticed, and revel in his solitude. The food will then be buried, for later use.
Background/History:
Gavynn was a completely normal boy growing up, except for the small problem of turning into a Schipperke at the slightest provocation. Whilst others were turning into Rotweilers and tigers, he was definitely at the bottom of the food chain.
He had always been small as a boy, but as a dog he barely stood at 12 inches. Even that might have been a push. Instead of reaching his full potential, he became shy and often secluded himself whenever possible.
His parents were the fairly average sort and didn’t understand his attitude. They packed him off to a Boarding school, where he excelled in his studies. As he grew older, though, this skill wore off. He no longer saw the point in it.When he went to campus, he flaked out and took a simple course. Film Studies. He thought he’d be able to lay around doing no work, but instead, he has found himself failing.
He met Kaye shortly after coming to the campus, and developed a crush on her. Unfortunately, he was then introduced to Kaye’s boyfriend, Raven. Gavynn became more of a little brother to them and although he likes their company even now, he still wants to be something more. Maybe he’d be able to prove himself if he found the chance...
Likes: Retro video games. Classic videos. Traditional candy shops. Techno music. Goldfish. Most art. Food: Thai Chicken Noodle Soup Drink: Ginger Ale Color: He claims it is violet. Music: Techno. Animal: Syrian Hamster | Dislikes: DVDs. Haircuts. Anything that mistakes him for food. ...and now for an Embarrassing Moment: He had a goldfish when he was five. It was named Sylvester. The dog ate it. Miscellaneous: 5'7 Slender build. Kaye once convinced Raven and Gavynn to get tongue piercings, but Gavynn’s didn’t take, so he now has a scar on his tongue from where it was removed. Gavynn is an only child. |
Scenes from Gavynn’s new life;
It isn’t exactly the most homeliest of places, Gavynn thought when he first opened the door. It had a certain quality of dampness and the off-white wallpaper had peeled somewhat in edges of the room. The bed looked comfy enough though and the dresser didn’t have any mice in it. Yes, it would do nicely for his purposes.
It took three days for Gavynn to fix up his new dorm room. It was shared with one other boy, whom was out most of the time. Orange flecks of fur were left in the boy’s presence and Gavynn had to go over the carpet with a brush several times before it looked clean. Smudges in the window grime held several clear handprints, serving to tell Gavynn all he needed to know about the room’s past occupants.
Finally, it was all completed. He put an empty goldfish bowl on the table.
Perfect.

The dog was hanging half in and half out of the ground floor window. Gloved paws scrabbled frantically in mid air as it tried desperately to reach the grass outside. A tin of meat lay on the flowerbed directly under his front paws, and it glinted up at him mockingly.
A sweeping brush proded at him from behind, first cautiously, then before it, he had been pushed right out the window. A pansy got stuck in his fur. Laughter then, a hearty one, and the janitor’s face peering over him, swinging the brush in victory.
“That’ll teach you!” he grinned, the folds of fat on his neck wobbling, “now get back to class before I set security to you.”
It didn’t particularly agitate the dog, whom had picked the tin up in its teeth and was trotting away, tail held high. He knew as a general rule that the security didn’t bother with anything smaller than a Sussex Spaniel.

Something to do with how they tasted, he presumed.
