Series your character's from: Courage the Cowardly Dog
Background info on your character:
When he was but a wee puppy, Courage lived quite happily with his mother and father. They would spend those warm, sunny afternoons in the dog park playing fetch with a Frisbee without a care in the world. Just how a normal, pink-furred puppy should be living a simple but quiet life. That is, up until the poor pup tried to chase after his Frisbee and ended up getting his head stuck between some iron fences. Somebody needs to learn how to look before they leap. So, just like any other pair of parents would do for their baby in need, they some how break off and uproot that bit of fencing and bring Courage to the vet where he frees the pup using a giant metal nail file.
And so as a reward for being such a brave and good boy, Courage is given a lollipop that was probably stolen from Willy Wonka's factory on account it was freaking humongous, the baby pup is ushered out of the room so that mommy and daddy can talk about the bill.
It was on that day that he watched as his parents were blasted off into space on a rocket ship he tried to stop, all set up by the crazy veterinary. Because, apparently, the vet believed that it was his purpose in life to send dogs... to the... moon. ... Yeah. Tip of the iceberg folks. Just wait for the other ninety episodes that this series provides for us but would take too long to actually write all out in it's entirety.
So now, completely traumatized and scared out of his mind, Courage fled the clinic, managing to escape through a garbage chute and landing in a dumpster in the back of the building. Somebody is going to be needing some serious therapy after that. Maybe someone could get him the number to the same guy Brian Griffin goes to.
Anyway, it was there that a sweet woman by the name of Muriel found and took him into her home to live with her and her abusive, douche-bag of a husband named Eustace. Because she took him in Courage has taken it upon himself to project his new found family (... more Muriel than Eustace for several reasons but then he has to go back and save the asshole anyway because Muriel loves her husband - why, we don't know) despite the that fact his name is the biggest joke of all. The poor dog is easily frightened and has a pair of lungs that could rival that pink Gummy Bear that kept on frolicking into bear traps on that one episode of Robot Chicken. But he also has a big heart. If there is ever someone in need this dog will go to great lengths to help them, ranging from building giant moats around sand castles complete with moat monsters to brave infiltrating government property to rescue some very special duck brothers.
And ever since the old woman had taken him in, it has been nothing but gerbil salesmen, space chickens, mummies trying to reclaim stolen property, freaky barbers with freaky fetishes, snazzy dressed alligators turning people into puppets, mutant eggplants, zombie directors trying to make movies, a French conman duck, duck brother triplets that lay eggs, Valkyries, goosy gods making out with trucks, a criminal with multiple personality dis-order, a smooth talking cat that has a new job every other episode, demon mattresses, giant space squids and robots that whittle little reindeer while trying to enslave the human race that sound an awful lot like Christopher Walken.
Sample post:
Arooo, this can't be right at all! I don't remember going on a trip or even being in the truck! It can't be another one of those strange contest prizes that Muriel never enters...! I can't see the barn or the windmill or the house or or or anything!
Muriel? Muriel! Where are you, Muriel?! .... Ooooooh, this is not good! This is definitely not good, or my name is King Henry the Eighth! --And it's not!
What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?
I-- I have to find a way to get back! If I don't then Muriel will have nobody to protect her! And what if that evil cat tries to hurt her? Or that le Quack guy! OOOOOOOOOOH Think, Courage, think! You can do this. You can do this! You've been in stickier situations before! And I don't see any giant talking bananas in sight so it can't be the future... Maybe there are people here who can help m-- wait. What if this island is full of crazy volcano worshiping inhabitants? Or what if that water witch is in the ocean? She could be from here!
Oh no, what am I going to?!? I have to get home before something happens to her!
Aroooooooo --Muuuurieeeeel!
A list of things your character might have on them after they got snatched up and put on this island: His yo-yo and that butch-looking teddy-bear of his that he seems to keep in that pocket of hammer space in his fur coat. ... There's probably more in there but for the sake of this game I would have to re-watch every episode just to tally up everything he owns and, quite frankly, I am just really fraggin' lazy. Unless you guys want one. It might take a while to compile. :x
