So who are the lovely parents and siblings of the bundle? Ace, the father- He a loveable, ADHA, happy-go lucky Fire palui. He a little bit of a cry baby but has a heart of gold. He love to play around with anything and everything. Ace can act dumb sometime when he dosen't get something. He also very childish. But to say the least he one of the most loving palui you will ever meet. Xi, the mother- Xi loves having fun, and will go through endless means to amuse herself. Sometimes, she ends up getting hurt, but she doesn't mind. It's a small price to pay to avoid boredom in her mind. Otherwise, she's friendly to practically everyone, and quite naive at times. She doesn't like being pushed around, and will fight back to protect herself and others. Bengal, the sister- She a lazy, quick-thinking, clever palui. She really can't stand to do something for herself or for anyone because she soo lazy. But that dosen't mean she won't do it, it just that she would like someone else to do it for her. She very smart and this help her to trick other in doing thing for her. She also very nice to everyone that she meet. (Owned by Z) Rorschach, the brother- He's actually quite serious and reserved with parents like his. Sure, he will have fun and play around when the oppurtunity presents itself, but otherwise he is cautious of all things unfamiliar and doesn't say much. When he does speak, it's usually only fragments of his thoughts unless he needs to make a speech or something. Unlike his sister, he enjoys running around and being active. He might also inhereit his parent's love for digging/swimming. (Owned by Piney.)

Here's the bundle you'll be competing for! Isn't it purdy? Sorry, but we have to lay down a couple of rules/guidelines for the contest. 1. Obey the Gaia ToS, Palu Island shop rules, and use common sense. Guilt-tripping and bribing isn't allowed, and stuff like that. 2. ONLY PEOPLE WITH ONE OR LESS PALU CAN WIN. If you have more than one, you can still enter for fun but you won't be able to win the bundle. 3. If you recieved a bundle from Lei's November's breedings, you cannot win this bundle. This was the rule last time something like this happened though it might be changed by Lei's or Nata's whim. Dunno. XD a. Xi and Ace are happy Palu. So it's highly unlikely that the bundle will turn out to be murderous and sadistic. It doesn't mean that the child has to be fun-loving, but we would recommend that they don't differ too much from its parents. b. We aren't going to force you to stick around and RP but we would really really appreciate it. If you don't:

Ok, the prompts and stuff.This is an RP/Personality contest really. We'll be taking into account the personality that you give your bundle and any future plot ideas, though the response is still important. You can have other Palu and the family in your response, though we ask that you focus on the bundle/kit and not them. ^^ Prompt 1 Your mom is a Water Palu and your dad is a Fire Palu. That being said, they probably will approve of any attunement you choose. What will you be when you grow up? Will you settle for a common attunement or perhaps try to be one of those rare Palu? Or maybe you're fine with being neutral? What do you think? Prompt 2 Xi found some underwater caves a while ago and takes you along while she wanders around in there. Stopping in a big room, she asks you to stay put while she goes and does something. Hours pass though, and you find yourself increasingly wet and bored. Do you leave the room and try to find your mom in the tunnels? Or do you stay put and amuse yourself with the crystals growing on the wall? There's a lot of possibilities~ Prompt 3 Ace take you on a walk in the woods. He hear something and tell you to stay close to him.You end up getting lost....and you dont know where your are. Do you try to find your Dad or do wait for him to find you. What happen to you when look or wait for him? And here's the form to fill out and post in this thread! [b]Username:[/b]

Username: Kotatsu-chan
Palu name: Fluellen (The name of a character from Shakespeare's Henry the V. I like to say it. XD)
Palu gender: Male
Brief personality: Fluellen is indecisive, wordy, and wishful. He forgets names easily and he gets lost easily. He likes making speeches and can be very persuasive if he wants to, especially if he's trying to convince someone he can do something. He wants very badly to be useful and strong and brave, but he really can't handle such things since he's so absentminded. He longs for a bright future and doesn't realize it's achievable. Though others might not realize it and he certainly doesn't realize, very much like the patterns on his body, through the cracks in the black vortex of his absentmindedness, there lurks a brilliant mind. Unfortunately, every time he thinks something particularly useful, he forgets it.
Future plot/RP ideas?: Really, Fluellen is the type of character who would be on the sidelines of any plot. XD The only thing I can think of where he would be the catalyst of a major event would be if he got lost or trapped, or he found out a secret so terrible he would NOT forget it a day later.
Prompt number: 1
Response:
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Though Fluellen forgot most things, including where he lived, what he was doing, and why he was holding things sometimes, Fluellen would always remember the answer to that question. It burned in his brain, the one thing he had decided would solve all his problems. The Solution.
Because Fluellen knew he was forgetful. It was like a plague that stopped him from moving forward in life, the thing that made people not trust him, that made them look away when he volunteered to do things for them. He couldn't help it. He had tried to remember things. The last time he tried he got a splitting headache and STILL ended up in the woods with a rock on his head and the vague feeling he should be doing something important. The forgetfulness was choking, blackness that ate away at his mind. He hated it. He wanted to escape.
So when the young Palu had heard the story of Dark Palu his eyes had lit up. Somewhere in the world, there was a breed of Palu that could see in the dark. At first he hadn't seen it, but he had thought and thought...
And realized.
Everyone sees black when they close their eyes and since when you close your eyes you see the inside of your head, you must be looking at your mind. Therefore, if everybody had dark minds, everybody must have mental night vision so they could see their thoughts and memories. Some Palus had more and some had less than others, and that decided how forgetful you were. Fluellen had realized that since he couldn't remember anything, he must be nearly mind-blind. So maybe...
Just maybe if he could become a dark Palu, it wouldn't just be his night vision that improved. Maybe, just maybe, his mind vision would improve. Then he could remember everything, everything he ever felt or thought. People would trust him. He would be able to make his family proud. It was a long shot.
But it was his only hope. And Fluellen would never, ever forget it.

Username: Saturn Ryokou Kavallion
Palu name: Zek
Palu gender: Male
Brief personality: Zek is a bit more introverted. While he does take after his parents in being friendly, Zek is more akward than his parents. Taking the longest out of his siblings to walk, Zek was pushed around by his stronger siblings. Being the weakest and sometimes considered the runt, Zek stayed more near his parents and spent time by himself. Because of this he became very crafty and witty. While being able to out smart most other Palu, his ability to orate has diminished. Thus, Zek does not speak most of the time but pantomimes most things. When he does speak, his speach is very stuttered (think Bobby from One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest).
Future plot/RP ideas?: The basic idea for Zek is be either a main character or a supporting character. He has the ability to be both. While he could spend time trying to speak better, Zek would also just sit there and let other people take care of things. Sure if he is cornered or is the only one who can help, Zek can dive into his adrenaline and access strength that he has gained from his parents. While not a complete weakling, Zek would rather out wit someone or create an unfair advantage instead of fighting head on. In an rp, Zek would show this talent of wit off because one would pick on him before anyone around him.
Prompt number: 1
Response: While Zek sees his parents and his siblings and their talents, Zek sees nothing in himself. His self-esteem is very low and would accept being normal. He only sees himself being normal but deep down wishes to be special. To be one of a kind is his dream and if he saw an opportunity for it, Zek would fight with all his heart. Not being able to speak, he cannot express his dream and even if he does talk, Zek would never tell anyone about his problems. Being normal would only support Zek's beliefs and lower his self-esteem.

Palu name:Mai
Palu gender:Female
Brief personality:Shy
Future plot/RP ideas?:Shes going to be quiet and laid back. Very shy and timid. She's super smart and likes to study things.
Prompt number:3
Response:
Mai walked along with her father sticking close to him but still sniffing about, she might be shy but she loved to look around and see everything. She looked up at her dad as they walked and listened to what he was saying about the plants around them. She looked at the plants he said. Okies do not eat. Ok to eat. mix with that one to make medicine. She nodded while they walked around. Suddenly he stopped and she ran into his legs.
"Stay close." he said looking around nervously. She scooted close and they moved along again.
"Dad what is it?" she asked in her soft whisper of a voice. He looked at her and thought about what to say but a noise took his attention back to the forest around them and she got closer to his legs. They moved along slowly but Mai looked behind them and didn't notice her dad had moved on. She kept walking with her head turned and didn't notice as a dip in the path came up. She fell in it and rolled down a little hill and landed at the base of a tree. She lay there on her back for a few seconds while the world settled back to normal and then slowly rolled over to see where she was. She didn't see her dad...or anything familiar. She shakily got to her feet and looked around. "Daddy..." she said softly as she stood on a root to look about further. She didn't see him. She whined softly and looked about behind her. "Dad!" she said kinda loudly...as loudly as she dared in this new part of the forest. She whined to her self again and sat down.
If she stayed here dad would find her...right...he'd notice that she wasn't there and would go back how he had come and try to find her...he'd smell that she had come down this way...right...? She curled up under the root of the large tree she was at. Her feet under her body and her tail tucked up around her face to help calm her self. Time went by...She lost track of it. It was so long. It was getting dark and her tummy was rumbling when she heard something in the bushes out side the tree. "Mai! Mai where are you!" It was her dad! He had come back for her and found her! She crawled out slowly and saw him looking around for her. "Dad." she said softly. He came up to her and she snuggled into his chest and sat under him as he nuzzled her head.
"Oh Mai i was so worried about you. Are you ok? Your not hurt are you? Did anything try to eat you?" He asked very worried. She shook her head and looked up at him. "I'm fine. Just very hungry." she said. He nodded and licked the top of her head. "Stay close and watch where you go this time." he said as he lead her up and towards home so they could eat.

Palu name: Uindo (Japanese for wind)
Palu gender: female
Brief personality: Uindo is very kind and is one that goes with what life gives her. She is easily amused and loves to play. She is helpful to her family and others and very caring. She is like the wind, as her parents say.
Future plot/RP ideas?:
*Uindo gets spooked by something as she’s walking and ends up lost. Her siblings go off to find her and then they find her, but none of them know how to return home. So they have to choose whether to go out searching for home or wait. Then decide whether to split up again or not.
*Uindo and her siblings go exploring and find a really cool hidden part of the island. They all go and explore and then get lost. They hear noises and they’re scared. They have to find way out, and if they do will they ever return to the hidden spot.
Prompt number: Prompt #1
Response:
Running through the trees and jumping. Then she’s soaring above everything, feeling the wind blow gently across her fur. Uindo lifts her head, still partially asleep. She has this dream often although she never is able to see herself. She didn’t understand it so much herself, so why bother her parents?
Uindo shook out her fur and rose to her paws. ‘Maybe if I think about it more….’ She thought as she stepped out into the sunlight. She took in a deep breath as a gentle breeze welcomed her outside. With a happy bark, Uindo ran into the forest. She agilely worked her way through the forest, the wind guiding her. She stopped as she comes to a cliff. This was exactly like her dream, but Uindo new she couldn’t fly like that. Or could she?
Uindo perked up. She finally had figured out what her dream meant! She bounded back to where her family was. “Momma! Poppa!” She called. Her voice had gained some volume with her excitement. She stopped in front of them, panting slightly. “You know how you are always asking what attunement we want to be when we grow up and how Bengal and Rorschach know what they want to be, but I never answer?” She paused, taking a deep breath. “Well now I know! I want to be an Air Palu!” Once again her voice squeaked a tad higher than normal from excitement.
Uindo was happy to have finally figured out what she wanted to be. She was even happier that it fit her name and personality so well. ‘Like it was destiny.’ She thought with a happy smile across her face. Uindo faced each day as she had before, taking in everything thrown at her in stride. Each night she continued to dream her ‘destiny’s dream’ as she called it. And she waited patiently for the time when she could possibly become an Air Palu.

Palu name: Erys
Palu gender: Female
Brief personality: She's an all around happy camper. She's easily entertained and enjoys the small things in life. She loves be social and is always very curious finding the silver lining in almost anything. This doesn't men she isn't serious though. She has different ways on viewing things, but she knows when she needs to buckle down. She's confident and loving and happy to help out. On the flip-side, she's not fond of being alone and will often be found with at least one other person. She's likes to please others and is attached to her family. Some times she can be a bit too passive aggressive, but that doesn't mean she can't argue a good point and she won't stand to see people she loves get trampled on.
Future plot/RP ideas?: I could see her getting into trouble at some point and won't know quite how to get out of the situation no matter what it is. xD;
Prompt number: Two :] <3
Response:
Erys groaned and rolled a bit on the stone floor... rolling onto her stomach her ears perked, flicking hoping to catch sound of her mother who'd left her who knows how long again. Giving a small whine she finally stood and went to peek around. She'd already investigated everything around the room she was, granted it was big, but it didn't take long. Not only was she bored, but she was getting hungry.
Tail waving behind her she went to circle the room once again. If only her mother hadn't told her to stay put... Then she'd go explore, but... She should stay where she was. What if her mom came back while she was gone? She'd get a good scolding for sure.
Stopping a particularly reflective crystal, she flopped down and canted her head this way and that, watching it move with her. Then she rolled over on her back. "Well, hello there... did you know you're upside-down? Hm? Hm?" She rolled onto her stomach again, "That's absurd." Tail flopping she folded her paws before her and set her head down, almost amused. Of course she was talking to herself, but what if there was such thing as a live reflection? Ingenious!
Grinning she inched closer, her nose touch the crystal as she stuck out her tongue. Heavens, if someone came in, it would make for a possible very awkward moment. Ears perked, her tail waved as he puffed up her cheeks, leaning back again. She crossed her eyes and shook her head.
Eeeerg ~ Erys rolled upside down once again, her paws up and laid there for a moment.... With a very swift movement she rolled and hopped up, crouching, her tail waving madly.
Suddenly she heard chuckling behind her.
The Pali's ears perked and her eyes widened, jumping a bit. "Hm!? What?" She turned to see Xi, her tail waving a bit... "Uhhh ~ I can explain? 8D <3" Clearing her throat she murred a bit, before going over to her mother, more than happy to go. Next time... Next time she would get her mimicker.
---- I'm not sure how to play others people pets even with descriptions so I tried not to do much with Xi ~ Sorry Dx <3 -----

Username: Apple Fapple Bo Bapple Bannana nanna Mo Mapple A p p 1 e P 1 e Palu name: Mingxia Palu gender: Female. Brief personality: Mingxia's a bundle of energy. It is next to impossible to get her to sit still-- like her mother, she becomes bored very easily; when it is imperative that Mingxia stay in one place, she satisfies her constant need for action by chewing on her tail, playing with her ears / feet, and pacing. She also has an extremely overactive imagination, which, when combined with her short attention span and need for constant movement, does not often bode well for her in wild terrain. She has a tendency to startle herself easily while she isn't paying attention, then dart off at full speed into a random direction-- drawing attention to herself and working her way into danger along the way. In general, Mingxia is very playful, adventurous, and outgoing. It takes quite a bit of talent to get her upset, mostly because she never stands still long enough to listen very well. Future plot/RP ideas?: Mingxia gets into a lot of trouble. I can imagine her dragging her siblings along (physically carrying them, if she has to xd ) onto faux exploration teams, making up imaginary monsters and going on epic, startlingly realistic quests to avoid them, and generally being silly and adventurous. Off the top of my head, this could lead to: -Mingxia jumps one of her siblings! While they're tumbling around, they roll onto a soft patch of ground, which collapses under them. Mingxia wants to explore the tunnels, but how will you get home? -Mingxia sees a 'dragon' while exploring the woods just before her bedtime. She persuades you, whether verbally or through force, to check it out in the daytime. The monster turns out to be a funny-looking log, but you've walked all the way to Mt. Manu to find it! Once she gets older, this will only get worse. She has no limitations, and she has no problem invading others' personal space to drag them into feeling the same way. Prompt number: TWO. Response: NOWAI, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT TEXT GOES HERE."MUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH..." The little Palu held a bugling mew halfway in her throat, kicking her legs in the air absent-mindedly. Her soggy body was cradled in a smooth outcropping of light, crystalline rock, which protruded dangerously out of a sharp ledge. Suddenly, she bounced up. Her head darted from side to side, wide-eyed, her tail shivering with anticipation. Mingxia's eyes seized a shimmering pool of water below, where they were greeted by her own reflection. "Pfffffffffftt," she blew, tousling her hair on her breath. The pool was partially encased within a large, curved block of granite that projected dark waves into the water, which was clear enough for Mingxia to see that there wasn't anything interesting in it. Heaving out a sigh, she turned around and climbed up the rock wall, flicking her ears. "We last left our hero stranded in the cave of nightmares, where she set off to rescue Queen Mommy," her voice rang dimly against the cold rock walls, filling the air with faint echoes. "Who knows what Ming will encou--" She jumped back. Looming ominously above her was an arc of blue crystals, huge and cracked with age. Her image ran behind their glassy faces in pieces, as though she were trapped behind a broken mirror. Slowly, cautiously, she leaned forward. Her body was tense and stiff, save for her stamping feet and the occasional twitch. Sharp pieces of her face zoomed forward at her from all angles. "EYE MONSTEEERRRRRR!" she shrieked, slipping on the floor in hurried flight. Mingxia slid across the smooth cave floor. Her feet tumbled left and right in an attempt to gain traction, but it was no use. She couldn't stop. Faster than she could see, her body shot off the edge of the cliff, whistling down through the air at an alarming speed, her screams running through the cave like frightened demons. She pressed her paws over her eyes. "OhgoshohnothisistheendI'mgonnahitthefloorandgoSPLATI'mdeeeaaaaddddd...!" she murmured. It was funny; she couldn't feel the wind any more... and her tail hurt. Mingxia cracked one eye open. Everything was completely black! "I'm dead!" She exclaimed, flailing her limbs. Her body swayed gently for a moment. She looked up. Her tail hung directly above her, clamped safe in her mother's jaws. The darkness had been her mother's fur! "What's this about you being dead?" Xi asked, amused, as she set her kitten down. A small pile of fish sat next to the Water Palu. Her mother gave the kitten a few sticky licks, smoothing down the little Palu's unruly fur. Mingxia sat on the rocks dazedly. She shook for a moment, wide-eyed, then looked at her mother. "Can I do it again?!"

Palu name: Dio (From the song Rainbow in the Dark which was done by the band Dio)
Palu gender: Male
Brief personality: Reserved. He prefers to keep to himself and learn about his surroundings. He has lots of energy and can focus for hours if it can grab his attention enough.
Future plot/RP ideas?: Maybe an expedition sort of adventure?
Prompt number: 3
Response:
The sun was starting to set and Dio finally started to get worried. Just a few hours earlier, his dad had stopped and told him to stay put when soem noise alerted him, but Dio was never very good at sitting and doing nothing.
He loved to learn as much as he could about his surroundings and forgot about his father's warning when the older Palu ventured off to investigate some odd noises. Dio was not interested in these noises. He wanted to learn more about the strangely colored snail trail along the forest floor.
The young palu knelt down as close to the ground as he could and slowly stalked the slimey trail. In no time at all he found himself lost after the paths began criss crossing each other. Dio couldn't find where the snail had gone.
Instead of blindly picking a direction, Dio decided to back track and follow the trail back to where he first had started. Luckily the trail was still intact for the most part. After a hour or so the trail began to dry up and the small Palu was lost again! With some more quick thinking, Dio started to yell, "Dad! Dad, where are you?! Dad!"
He has to be close! Dio began yelling again and this time he heard another voice. Dad! The palu stood up and started to yell louder. "I'm over here! Dad, over here!"
His father's voice grew louder and Dio couldn't wait any longer and he flung himself towards the direction of his dad's voice. He jumped through a large fern and nearly crashed into his father. Dio gave his dad a half grin hoping he wasn't in too much trouble, "Sorry."

Palu name: Haley
Palu gender: female
Brief personality: She is a lot like her mother and father, fun-loving, silly and nuts. She is strong willed and enjoys the company of others, she's not fond of being on her own. She's always on a look out for a new adventure.
Future plot/RP ideas?:just a family rp really, but I have idea's to help things along, like they go on a walk but run into big trouble.
Prompt number: 2
Response:
Though Haley strongly protested against her mom leaving her all alone in the cave she had no other choice but to listen to her and stay put. She was Haley's mom after all. After what felt like hours of being on her own she wished she had her brother or just maybe even her sister here to play with but she was alone, bored and wet. "No Fun!" She sighed rather loudly, almost a yell. A second later she heard it again. 'No Funuuunnn..." She jumped up to her paws and barked "Who's there!" and again the words came back to her again. "Not funny! Show you're self!" Again she head the copy cat but this time it dawned on her that the voice sounded a lot like her. "I have pickle breath!" She yelled and just like all the other times the words came back to her. Haley smiled a wide toothy smile and started yelling things just to hear her own echo. She grinned and then at the top of her lungs yelled "Bengal smells of farts!" She laughed as she heard that one come back again and would have fallen to the floor laughing but she thought she heard something humming from behind her. She stopped and listen. Something was humming that was for sure. Haley's ears pulled back behind her head as she stepped towards the sound. It came from a long, thin, pinkish crystal that grew out of the wall along with some of it's brothers and sisters. "Whoa! Cool!" Haley exclaimed as she poked at it but she pokes a little too hard and a loud crack emanated from the long thin crystal. Haley's ears flattened against her head as her eyes grew wide. The crystal snapped in half and fell to the cave floor and smashed into thousands of little shards. Haley was horrified with what her one little poke did. Her horror turned to fear as she thought of what her mother would say. Her eyes darted around the cave searching for the darkest nook. When she found it, using her tail she brushed all the pieces together and then over to the nook. She got them hidden just in time too for not a minute after wards her mother came into her view. "H-hey mommy, find anything?" She said with a nervous chuckle.
