RULES

• you may only apply for a starter TCP ONCE- however, system members can get their own individual entries, because we want everybody to have a chance to participate. please do not betray our trust on this.
  
• if you are an established/old member and haven't gotten a starter TCP yet, you can still apply! everybody gets ONE
  
• you can do whatever you want with your TCP, so long as it's SFW. feel free to edit the image as much as you like, add clothing, draw them, etc! they are yours now!
  
• don't make a fuss if you don't get something you immediately click with- we do our best to match the test in a fun way, but this is also for fun and for free. 
  
• you can always make your own TCPs using sketches/refs freely available! these are NOT a closed species and you can go nuts with em.

wake up while it's still dark out to get in the car, watch the sun rise as we drive out to the beach. get set up in a hotel room or rental house, eat a tasty breakfast. explore the town, maybe eat out for lunch. chill at the room/house playing pokémon and watching tv. go to the beach itself a bit before sunset, watch the sunset and build a campfire. enjoy campfire, toast marshmallows, admire the moon and stars. crash in bed around midnight with the full moon visible through the window.

It's mostly deep purple, light green, and blues/pinks.
Tell me a pleasant memory of yours. It can be anything. [sweating as I sift through my unreliable memory] uhhh. walking home from school one day as a kid and looking at how the sun was shining Just Right on the pavement and the grass and realising very suddenly that Something Out There Loved Me And Wanted Me To Be Okay. it was a really weird moment and didn't stick with me at ALL but it was nice for the fleeting second that it happened.

[sleepless]

What is your name? Sleepless!
What kind of places do you feel most at home? In my room, in wide open fields, and around animals. <3
Describe something that you own that you treasure. I have... a lot of things I treasure. If I have to pick one, right now I'd say my cow skull. I found her at an antique mall and she was very dirty, so I brought her home, gave her a name (Boone) and cleaned her up as much as possible. She's missing a few teeth, has a few scratches and bumps, and doesn't have horns, but I'm very proud of her!
Tell me a pleasant memory of yours. It can be anything. When I decided to adopt my cat. I had a friend whose family rescued cats, and one day (when I visited her house so she could help me make a DnD character sheet) we took a break and we played with a few kittens they had recently taken in. That was when I met Teddy, who was brought in with just him and his mother, because all of the other kittens in his litter were adopted before they were given to the rescue. But, that's not the memory I'm meaning to talk about. Their rescue was working with a pet store that allowed them to display cats so they had better chances of being adopted. I had come to the conclusion that I wouldn't be able to adopt Teddy, and I just wanted to see him one more time to say goodbye. He had been paired with another solo kitten, named Tuggy (like a tugboat), but Tuggy was adopted almost immediately, so once again Teddy was left alone. I asked one of the employees if I could hold him, and I just felt so happy to have him in my arms. When she said it was time to put him back, as I handed him over, I legitimately felt as if a part of my heart was being ripped out of me. I started crying as soon as I was out of the store, and I made a call to my sister. We adopted Teddy that night, and he's been with me for five years now. He's my familiar, and the light of my life, and I cannot imagine what life would be like if I hadn't taken him.
How would you describe your style?
If I asked you what your favorite three colors were, what would the first three options to come to mind be? Don’t overthink it. Green (but kind of on the yellow-ish side, like a leafy green), brown, and black.
What’s your idea of a perfect day? Some time in autumn, when the breeze is just a little chilly, perfect for sweater weather. Just sitting outside in the grass, maybe with some friends. And if I could, I'd be in a pasture with cows.
What are some things you do not want in your TCP, at any cost? I don't have any major fears or specific dislikes!
