Pre-Group history:
Calsifer's parents were showdog's and the breeding was arranged rather than by love, although the two were and friendly terms. He's the runt from a litter of four, often pushed around and teased by his older sisters. Growing up he had a somewhat comfortable life as his mother and his mother's people were good to him. He was always taught to be polite with everyone and to respect others' opions by either shutting up about your own or agreeing with theres, so when he was last-picked and and misstreated by his sister's and other dogs and people, he thought not to mind as he had been taught to. Last-picked in everything, he was even the last to receive a home and waited until he was one to finely find one. The home he did get, however, was a good one, with friendly people as well as plenty of food and warmth under their roof. Tragedy struck after he had lived there for almost a year, when they wen't on vacation and - in his rightful veiws - adondoned him. The real reasoning behind this is that the small family had gone to stay with reletives for a supposedly three days. The reletives were alergic to dogs, and so Calcifer was left behind with a "good and trustworthy" house/dog-sitter. Two day's into the family's stay, one of the reletives died and one of Calsifer's people seriously injured. The family fully intended to come back and get Calsifer as soon as they could, but the "good and trustworthy" dog-sitter quickly slacked with their work after the three-day mark, even though he was being paid double for the extra days. The sitter became drunk and for no good reason at all, tied Calsifer up outside and then proceded to just stop coming altogether, loosing contact with the family as he did so. The family was delayed yet again, and, becoming more and more hungry, Calsifer was able to chew his way through the rope that tied him up, and found his way out of the yard in desperate search of food. Not two days later the family were able to come home and found that their dog was missing. They continued to put up posters for months later, but unfortunately they never found him. 


    After Calsifer left, he quickly grew lost and was unable to find home again, and so proceded to spend the next year just roaming the streets, finding food where he could and in constant search for shelter. The town he lived in was not super dog-friendly or even suitable for the average stray to find their necesities, and so Calasifer wen't off in search of a new town, and eventually found Canidale. Feeling safe enough there, he quickly decided to call it home. Although still a stray, Calsifer dreams of a second chance at a home. 

(this also needs to be updated now that he isn't in DoC anymore)

I really miss him! He's such a meaningful character to me. Makes me wish I had a RP group to stick him back in. Unfortunately I just don't think I'm suited to RP groups anymore ;0;

yeah it's really tempting, but I have at least two weeks of camp in the middle of July, and I do plan on doing Artfight whenever I'm not gone! I actually updated Cal's reference mostly so that I had clear character refs for it! My sister did it last year and it seemed like SO MUCH fun, and I know she had a blast. I had just happened to be going through my super rough art funk so I wasn't able to participate.

But I'm super excited for it this year. Idk if you know how it works (it took me a while to figure out) but basically there are two teams, and the point is that by drawing the other team's characters, you are earning points for your own team. The person you attacked has the option to attack you back by drawing your characters and earning points for their team (and vice versa). You can also do friendly fire in which you draw characters for your own teammates. There's no ultimate prize or anything, but basically the whole thing is just to scream about characters and throw art at people, and have art thrown at you. It's a really uplifting experience from what I've seen, and you end up meeting new people ;-;

I just made my account yesterday, so it's really bare and I won't have a team until it actually starts, but I'm working on it ;0;
