PENDiNG !

he sounds kind awesome, but there's one issue with his application.

with the two species he is a mix of, there is no way he could stand 36 inches tall. 36 inches is a rarity for even a gray wolf, and both of his species are small species. the Mexican Wolf is one of the smallest sub species, standing 26 - 32 inches, and the Red Wolf is very short as well, standing an average of 26 inches. if you average both species' heights, he could stand 26 - 29 inches. i would accept him at 29 inches, as that would be tallest spectrum of his species.

his weight is fine, as both species have the same weight range of about 50 - 80 pounds.

you can change his species to better fit what you'd like as far as height, or you can just change his height. whichever you prefer.

once this gets addressed i would be happy to look him over again.

ACCEPTED !

PENDiNG !

hello there! we're glad to have you here, but there are a few issues with your application. once they get resolved, i will be more than happy to accept Jasper!

first; none of his pictures (avatars, signature, etc.) have credits on them for the original owner. also, you state that the original owner of the picture is a username from another forum. most forums are not stock photo sites, and therefore the pictures located there may not actually belong to the user who posted them. it is not only against our site rules to use pictures without the owner's permission, it is illegal in real life (copyright infringement). there is a guide to finding stock photos located here that you can use to help you find some pictures that are available for use. please remove the pictures that you have currently, or find the owner and proof of permission to use, and/or replace the images with stock, along with proof of permission.

second; you state that Jasper is an Ethiopian Wolf, however, his pictures are of a coyote. they are very plainly a coyote, as Ethiopian Wolves and coyotes are far from similar in coloring. as coyotes are currently banned, Jasper is absolutely allowed to be an Ethiopian Wolf, but you must use a picture of his actual species to represent him. please find Ethiopian Wolf stock photos--feel free to use the guide i provided a link to above to do so--and use them, or change his species to another available species and find stock photos for that species to represent him.

third; his age doesn't match the current IC year. if he was born in Spring, 2011 (as all characters are born in Spring just to simplify the aging process), he would be 4 years old right now since the current IC year is 2015. you can either adjust his birth year, or his age, however you prefer to do it.

fourth; the height and weight listed for Jasper exceed the standards for the species. as told by this page on wikipedia, Ethiopian Wolves stand somewhere between 21 - 24 inches in height, and adult males weigh between 31 - 43 pounds. i would accept him being taller than average, and weigh more than average, but the max height and weight that would be within acceptable means is 26 inches and 50 pounds. please adjust his height and weight to better fit his species, or you can change his species to one that better suits what size you want for him.

fifth; Jasper's description doesn't really match his species coloring. it is stated that he is a muddy brown color, with lighter brown undersides. the Ethiopian Wolf has what's called 'red' fur, which is a bright reddish/tan color, with cream or white undersides and markings. please change his physical description to better suit his species, or change his species altogether to better fit his description. whichever you'd like.

sixth; the personality of your character is very one-sided. what we call a 'flat' character. this doesn't mean there's anything wrong--there can't be anything wrong with how you want your character to be--but we would like to ask for some more description of the other sides of him. what does he fear? how does he deal with love? does he believe in any kind of religion? i mean, you don't have to answer these specifically, they're just suggestions to help get the ball rollin'. if you could add a bit more about the other sides of Jasper, please.

seventh; in Jasper's history, you state that RRR (which i believe is Red Rock Rise {makes sense to abbreviate it as such, and i've done the same thing, just want to make sure we're on the same page}) is a rescue center, and that Jasper dreams to be released into the wild. Red Rock Rise is a massive (and i mean massive animal reserve, created to allow wild animals to thrive without human interference--specifically wolves, but others as well. it is enclosed by a fence, but it is literally thousands of square miles in space. in essence, it is the wild. i'm not sure if you misunderstood the plot, or meant to say something else and put RRR instead, but please adjust his history so that it fits.

once these issues are addressed, i would be happy to look back over Jasper's application.

if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to send me a private message. thanks!
