Name: Poet
Age: 4 years
Species: Ailidae
Parents: Icarus x Bastille
'Mate': Dij
About:
Poet is a walking contradiction. He's the annoying hipster you can't help but love. He is in the Bad Luck sect of the Ailidae species, though most of his kind label him as a 'black sheep'. Poet hates his 'job', especially the doom and gloom part of it, as he considers himself an artist and prefers to spend his days writing or drawing. His parents had to literally drag the young Ailidae to his dream walking classes and his teacher usually spent most of them berating him. The adolescent feels as if he needs to sweeten his visits, most of his recipients describe a feeling of clam and serenity that washes over them after a visit from Poet. It's not usual for the dream walker to linger a bit longer than necessary around one of the chosen, whispering a whimsical limerick or two before taking his leave, hoping the entertaining visit will lessen the blow of the tragedy that is to come. While most of his other siblings are pretty close knit, Poet prefers to go off by himself and recite poems. Limericks are his absolute favorite though he does enjoy a good sonnet. Most would describe Poet as being a pleasant and charming pooch though sometimes it seems as if he is not all there.
The fact that Poet speaks almost exclusively in rhyme only adds to his eccentricity. The charming pooch enjoys impressing his admirers with his artistic abilities strutting around humming a jovial tune or performing one of his compositions. Not exactly eager to start getting serious about his duties Poet often dreams of becoming a famous writer, entertaining audiences with his epic heroic tales and woeful love stories but of course he knows his dream walker duties must come first. Though Poet may seem to be self serving he does deeply care about his family, and tries hard to live up to the status that his parents have set. Poet is determined to take his parent's expectations for him and his own wishes to flesh out a new path for himself and others who dare to dream. Though he may encounter some bumps along the way Poet is confidant that there is a nice medium that is not only accepted among others of his kind but desired by them as well.
Recently Poet has taken up the rather nasty habit of smoking. Since the pups were born the increased stress caused Poet to turn to a new way to get rid of all of the stress and tension since he couldn't get a moment alone to work on his poetry. Dij tried to get him to quit but that only drove him to pick up another bad habit, coffee. Now instead of getting rid of one bad habit he had two. No amount of berating from Dij will motivate Poet to give up coffee or cigarettes, you can often find the new father slouching over his work with an ashtray and a mug close by.
