Icarathian: Duuben

Description

Sorry about the text being long D:

Here\'s what happened to explain this: I was randomly looking around through dA just looking and browsing, and i come across this design page for Icarathians (Pronounced Ick-car-AYE-thee-ans according to this link: [link]) And i thought it was cool, but it was late at night so i kinda turned off the computer without saving >.< Next day i couldnt stop thinking about this adorbale creature so as soon as i got home i spent several hours trying to find it again, and alas i did :D and then drew this.

so ive seen other people\'s Icars and i seen they\'ve done little bios and stuff, so im going to do the same:

Name: Duuben (Name chosen by :icontachiuke:
Age:About 3 (I dont really know the exact age for like a young juvenile kind of age so I\'m guessing about 3)
Species: Icarathian
Breed:Feral/Wild, but somewhere along the line there must have been a Fancy due to brightening of earthy colours and the yellow bands on the forelegs)
Sex: Male
Size: About 3.7 feet tall
Wild/Tame:Wild, but does occasionally approaches humans if they live in the same area he does.
Colouring: A colour scheme similar to a Red Kite [link] Reddish browns, white head/neck and spot, 5 yellow bands on the forelegs, darkbrown mask fade to yellow at the back, white eartips and dark brown specks along its body. Brown underbelly and middle of the back. One brown spot at the top of each limb. (Ill make a reference sheet if anyone wants to draw him)

Personality: Very hardy and adaptive, he enjoys the company of anything, but his childhood has made him a independant, but instinct demands him a flock, so he's trying to find something that will accept him into their pack. He can be rugged and irritable at times (and a little snappy if really angry), which, for other Icars, looks like a sign to challenge the Alpha, which is why he doesnt get accepted much and gets rejected quickly. This is also a reason he sometimes approaches humans. Despite this flaw he constantly tries to gain respect of others, and feels a strong desire to protect. He has really good sonar and likes hunting rodents because theres challenge in it.

History: Whilst an egg his mother got shot by an angry farmer, which led to the father having difficulty in raising the chick. As the Duuben grew, he became more agressive towards his father, because of the instinct of dominance. The father soon rejected him, and soon became nomadic and going through plenty of trials of pack acceptance. A year later he comes across a small farm where he meets this human who seems to be compassionate and takes care of a bunch of horses, although she didn't accept him, he attempted to prove his worth by protecting her and her friends horses, showing aggression anyone coming near to pet the animals, even children. She notices his actions, and after researching about Icars, attempts to become the Alpha over him (the horses are part of the pack too, they learn to tolerate him). The two becomes good friends, but, as with horses, remains a firm but subtle authority over him. He still remains wild, and soon the girls family member gets to have a Fancy/Polar as a pet (i might draw it later, i think the colour will be a pastel pink in general) and he gets a ladyfriend :)

After that i don\'t know what the story would happen, whether it should stay like that or the girl lets him become alpha or whatever, just make it up :)

Tell me if theres something wrong in the anatomy or tips for fur or whatever, i want to learn!

Icarathian species belong to :iconfirefeathers:

Tell me if you want to/ have drawn him, i wanna be able to favourite it :)
