Ayyyyyyyy it's time for a bowl contest! This one, however, is going to be a bit different.
Since I cannot choose between either bowl, this is going to be a contest where you choose which bowl you would like to recieve! (Or, you know, have no preference since I MIGHT develop an attachment to one or the other.) I will be judging on Name, Personality and plotline(s)!
Be courteous to each other, don't try and guilt anyone out of entering, and have fun!
This will end on 4/11/16 at 11:59pm MST. Please PM Me or quote me in the main thread if you have questions!
Read on!

Right, time to meet the foxes that will be the most prominent in your kit's life!
Aria has always been curious. When she was a kit, she was a bouncing, bubbly ball of happiness, sticking her nose into everything and everyone's business. As the years, passed, she fell into a pit of despair; Her family never seemed to be around, it was hard for her to make friends. She wanted something, or someone, to fill the void. Laufey happened to appear seemingly out of nowhere, and Aria quickly fell to their charms. It was almost a whirlwind romance you could only find in storybooks. One of those that seemed too good to be true. Far too late did she realize Laufey's intentions. Now with the looming threat of losing one of her two sons and being tossed aside like nothing, Aria hides.
Cold. Easily the first word that comes to mind when describing this fox, Laufey comes off as unfeeling, and uncaring. Meeting Aria was purely by chance, and Laufey was, at first, empathetic and seemed to fill the void of loneliness that Aria seemed to have. Unfortunately, Laufey always has an ulterior motive, and this time, it was to see if male offspring would be produced. Even one would be a success. Now that Laufey has two sons, they are determined to take one to mold as they wish. The bowls are, thus far, hidden from them. But Laufey will find them. And then Aria and their other son will be of no further use. Or so it seems. [Laufey is Agender; They/Them pronouns.]
Amelia watched everything unfold. It was in her gut not to trust Laufey, but she couldn't bring herself to tell Aria. What a mistake that was. Now, she not only has to live with the guilt of letting Aria's heart get broken, but there are now children. Determined to fix things, Amelia offered to hide the bowls for Aria, for now. Hidden in an old, abandoned fighter plane, Amelia has custody of the two bowls. But she knows that Laufey will not be deceived for long.
Widely known as 'Laufey's Little Pet', Phazon knew what Laufey was going to do. Torn between wanting to do the right thing and not wanting to incur Laufey's wrath, Phazon opted to do nothing. He felt bad for Aria, but the threat of Laufey's wrath kept him on a leash. At least, up until there was talk of children. Knowing the type of fox Laufey is, Phazon decided that, should Laufey be successful in taking a bowl, he will interfere. He keeps watch over Amelia when he can, during the daytime when he is far lees likely to be seen.
You may enter for just one, or for both, but in the end, one bowl will go to the winner, and other will stay with me. (Or, you know, have no preference since I MIGHT develop an attachment to one or the other.)
.::Guidelines::. I do have a naming guideline. The child must either have a music-related name or a Nordic/Norse name. Please, don't take the bowl and run. I'm not expecting 3456873476 pages of guild RP, but I'd like for you to keep in contact and plot with me a bit! Please don't be offended if you don't win. Really, I wish I had more bowls to make contests for, I really do!
And that's it. ON TO THE FORMS!

Kit's Name: Tait. It's Norse for "Cheerful/Happy". Elder or Younger?: Younger Kit's Basic Personality: Tait is, for the most part, very confused about what is going on between his parents. He very much wants everyone to get along and be happy, but for whatever reason life has a different idea. He can be a little naive and believes that both of his mothers know what's best and has his best interests at heart, and because of this he follows Laufey and tries to do whatever she would want from him. He is a dreamer, and just wants to please everyone around him. He is a curious little guy, having a good head to memorize things at first glance, and because of this he loves science and creating things.
As he grows, he will eventually learn that life isn't always sunshine and roses. He might even grow somewhat restless and concerned about Laufey and what plans they have for him. However, he'll remain loyal as long as it doesn't entail hurting other people, this doesn't mean he won't seek out Aria though, because he wants her acceptance as much as he wants Laufey's. Still, in the end he just wants both of his mothers happiness and hopes that someday he'll be able to open Laufey up.
Will your kit be the chosen of Laufey?: Yes~!
---If yes, will your kit seek to reunite with their sibling and Aria?: Yes! He really wants to be apart of both of their lives! ----What of Phazon?: His relationship might be somewhat strained with Phazon, mostly because he'll see it as Phazon not wanting Laufey to be happy too. But being that Tait is extremely forgiving, I can't see him holding onto a grudge, mostly just confused as to why Phazon is doing what he is.
---If no, what will your kit think of their sibling and Laufey?: Not sure if I'm supposed to answer this? xD Really though, Tait has love for everyone! ----What of Amelia?: Not sure if I'm supposed to answer this? Tait will probably be just as confused about why Amelia would hide him from either of his parents, he could never believe that either of them would be bad.
Any other future plot ideas?:
Tait will continue to try to get Laufey to enjoy themself and be happy. I don't think this would change, even if somehow Laufey showed him the worst side that they had. Still, I'd like Tait to somehow realize that Laufey isn't the best person in the world, giving him some dynamic to his otherwise rosey personality. This could cause him a lot of heartache, unsure of what to do or how to cope with it. Especially if the background of what Laufey did to Aria came to light.. Who does he believe? Both are his mothers and both are up on a really high pedestal in his head. It could cause him a lot of conflict.
I'd like to do some sort of plot where maybe Tait is taken advantage of by an outside source. This could help him grow up and be more aware that not everyone has the best intentions.
I'd also love for him to reunite with Aria and his brother. He would love to hug her and make her things and just let her know how much he'll always love her.

If I break the glass then I'll have to fly.
Kit's Name: StÃgandr (STEY-gan-DIR Means "wanderer" in Old Norse. Nickname Sti) Elder or Younger?: Elder Kit's Basic Personality: Sti is quiet but not shy, reserved, calculating, cautiously optimistic. When he speaks up it's to ask 'how' or 'why'. He enjoys watching and learning, and earns to explore out to learn even more about the world. Puzzles off all sorts are one of his favorite activities- those usually have a solution and an answer. Life, however is a bit more messy, but maybe if he tries very hard and focuses, he can sort it all out.
Will your kit be the chosen of Laufey?: Yes
---If yes, will your kit seek to reunite with their sibling and Aria?: Yes ----What of Phazon?: He's not sure what to think of him. On one hand, he would love to go and see the rest of his family again. On the other, Laufey had to have reasons for what they were doing. Besides, Laufey is his parent, so that means they love him, right?
---If no, what will your kit think of their sibling and Laufey?: N/A ----What of Amelia?: If Laufey has their reasons, so does Amelia. Somehow, he has a feeling he won't know what the answer to this puzzle is until he hears all of the answers.
Any other future plot ideas?: Friendship of the most secret kind - Understanding that his parent wants to shape his future and shape him, Sti acts on a small bit of rebellion- making a friend they wouldn't approve of. Of course, this would have to be keep a secret. He might get in trouble if it was found out.
Reunited (and it feels so good) - Maybe, if only for a bit, Phazon manages to get him away and back to Aria. He gets to spend time with his mother and brother he only knew briefly, learning about how hurt she is and what warm accepting love is like. This doesn't last long before Laufey finds out. Feels happen.
A confrontation, an explanation (Wrath be damned!) - A continuation of reunited. When he's grown up, I'd like Sti to try and get Laufey to explain why they did what they did, why they felt they needed to hurt his mother and sibling so much. Was it even worth it? This may end up with his losing control of his emotions - not really caring about what the consequences may be.
Hope (and love?) grows in strange places - The results of the last two things may leave Sti a bit jaded and bitter, his optimism fading. He still manages to hold on to his joy of learning and exploration. Perhaps he bumps into someone who shares the same interests- though perhaps someone with a happier view of the world- and helps him regain a bit of his cheerier outlook. (Could also be from the previous friend plot.)

I had a budgie this color - I taught him how to say a few things. Hello baby, pretty bird, etc. He like to combine them and often ended say "Hello pretty baby."

If I break the glass then I'll have to fly.
Kit's Name: Sindri, Norse: 'sparkling' or 'small, trivial' Elder or Younger?: Younger Kit's Basic Personality: He will have a playful sense of personality, but uses it to hide how he really feels. There is a constant sense of loneliness that he covers with humour and flippancy. He feels that there is constantly something missing, and feels strongly that he is somehow a disappointment. He is very personable and will happily interact with anyone, but will always keep them at a distance with smiles.
Will your kit be the chosen of Laufey?: Yes
---If yes, will your kit seek to reunite with their sibling and Aria?: Sindri will have resisted the temptation to seek them out, but eventually his curiosity and longing to connect with someone else will get the better of him and he will break his self imposed isolation to seek them out. Though naturally he will make it appear an accident, or perhaps even hide his true identity from his brother and mother. ----What of Phazon?: That will be a bundle of confusion because he has tried to please Laufey for a long time, and fears their disappointment. But he has never felt a connection to Laufey, and there is the crux of his confusion.
Any other future plot ideas?: There may have to be a confrontation about what he wants for himself. And I would need more clarification about what Laufey's goals for their son had been.

Somebody shine a light
Kit's Name: Bard (It's both Nordic for "Beard" and a Bard is usually seen as someone who plays music in a video game.) Elder or Younger?: Younger Kit's Basic Personality: Bard is charming and self assured. He can be a little narcissistic and cares little for those around him. He views himself as number one and has a relatively hard time feeling humanitarian. He has no problem lying and using people's thoughts and emotions for his own good. He loves to play music and write poems, charming everyone to his ways, or even into sharing a night with him.. but he will leave before he ever gets attached.
Will your kit be the chosen of Laufey?: No. He'll be staying with Aria.
---If yes, will your kit seek to reunite with their sibling and Aria?: N/A ----What of Phazon?: N/A
---If no, what will your kit think of their sibling and Laufey?: Bard will have relatively little care for his sibling, unless he can use that sibling to his advantage. As for Laufey, since they might be able to teach him a few things he might be more willing to work with them, but in the end he will still care more about himself than them. ----What of Amelia?: He dislikes her greatly. He would have rathered learn tricks of the trade from Laufey, but he's made due with the mother he's stuck with. This isn't to say that he dislikes Aria, he doesn't, he just wishes she was stronger.
Any other future plot ideas?:
He will be there for Aria, despite his love only for himself, at least as a kit. He will probably grow more self involved as he grows and sees her as being weak. He'll claim he doesn't care about her, but he honestly does, even if he can't admit it to himself.
I'd like Bard to eventually fall head over heels for someone who completely smashes his heart, thus learning that what he's been doing his whole life to other people is something he needs to rethink.
I'd like something to happen to Aria. This will make Bard realize how much he actually loves his mother and he'll come to her rescue completely out of love for her. This will make him realize that there is more in his life than his own self. This could also happen with his sibling, though I think he'd have a greater bond with Aria.
There might also be some sort of rivalry with his brother, depending on his personality, since Bard might wish he had been the bowl that Laufey chose.

WHOOP THIS IS CLOSED.
Expect a winner later today, I will be having my fiancee assist me in judging!
So, it was EXTREMELY hard to choose, and in the end...
I've decided to give BOTH bowls away. I honestly couldn't choose, and I figure, plots of this kind are much more fun with others involved, so...

I adored both of your entries, and hope that the both of you will take care of the boys and hopefully have fun with me and this little plotbunny of mine!
