[after two weeks of being MIA, here we have a plushie. he's half-heartedly playing video games. come bother him]

((OOC: Open to anyone who is concerned about Kero, Li, or Sakura leaving.))

Name: Cerberus (Kero-chan~)
Age: Unknown, but likely hundreds of years old.
Height: He's either small enough to fit into the palm of your hand or about 4 feet tall at his shoulder.
Weight: Tiny plushie barely weighs anything. Otherwise, he weighs about 500 pounds.
Eyes: Black in his false form, amber/gold in his true form.
Fur: Golden yellow moving into orange in both forms.

Medical Info: He's in good health, as magical creatures go. . . .I have no idea how to give medical information on a plushie. Relies largely on the sun to sustain himself, as well as food and his mistress.

Physical traits: Most of the time, Kero-chan will be in his false form, which is a small plushie. His true form is in the shape of a large, winged lion without a mane. He can switch between the two pretty much whenever he wants.

What's Okay To Mention Around Him: Pretty much anything~! He lived with Clow Reed for centuries, so believe me, you can't break his brain. However, if you know too much about The Cards, Sakura, or Cerberus himself, Kero-chan will be suspicious and on guard.

Abilities: Besides his inherent magical power, Kero-chan is well-versed in the mechanics of western and eastern magic, as well as the new form of magic that Clow Reed developed. In plushie form, Kero-chan really can't do much in a fight beyond offer encouragement and advice. His true form gives him more options, up to and including shooting fireballs out of his mouth. Kero-chan can, of course, fly in both forms.

Notes for the Psychics: He probably can protect himself against psychics, but I doubt he bothers to cover up his surface thoughts. Glancing in his head will show you that he obviously thinks very highly of himself and thinks everyone else should, too. He's very open about his feelings, generally. Dig deeper and you'll find a lot of affection for his friends and sometimes a little bit of worry.

Notes for Magic Users: Kero-chan is going to initially pretend to be a plushie in camp. However, he radiates magical power and anyone with training or experience in this area will likely realize that he is no normal toy. Feel free to call him on this~

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: Yes to all, but talk to me first.

Hugging/Kissing: Hugging is usually fine...and kissing too, I guess. He'll only object if he doesn't like you or doesn't know you.

Maim/Murder/Death: Probably not, but talk to me.

Cooking: Kero-chan eats other people's cooking. He has been known to help out in the kitchen, though!

Character: Cerberus (a.k.a. Kero-chan)
Series: Cardcaptor Sakura
Character Age: This toy is appropriate for ages 3-11 (Age is officially unknown)

Canon: Behind every successful magical girl there exists someone to guide her on her quest, and Cardcaptor Sakura is no different. Kinomoto Sakura was just a normal 4th grader until the day she found a mysterious magical book and opened it, accidentally freeing the Clow Cards. Too bad that Cerberus, the Beast of the Seal and guardian of the cards that rest inside, was in the middle of a 30 year nap on that day. From that point on, Sakura is tasked with finding all of the cards and capturing them, with Cerberus as her constant companion.

Cerberus is initially introduced in the shape of a small plushie, though he’s more than willing to tell you all about his super awesome true form. Since he did not look like a Cerberus to her at the time, Sakura gave him the nickname Kero-chan, which he accepts from her, but still isn’t entirely thrilled with. Kero-chan himself can be very selfish, egotistical, and gluttonous. He’s fond of playing video games, eating, sleeping, and obsessing over how cool he is. Despite all of that, Kero-chan cares deeply about Sakura and his friends. He does his best to help Sakura in her quest to find and master the Clow Cards, providing valuable advice and protection along the way. To top it all off, Kero-chan speaks in a friendly Osaka accent, which he picked up when The Clow had a long stopover in that city.

Sample Post:

Thank you, thank you, and keep that applause comin’! I, Cerberus the Magnificent, the ultra cool guardian beast and champion gamer, am more than willing to humbly accept this standing ovation. A standing ovation, I’d like to add, that I so deserve. They're making these game AIs smarter and smarter these days. No average game could tell that I cut such a brilliant and charming figure! The Sims: CFUD Edition is gettin' a five star rating from me. Come on, little sims, I know you can cheer louder for the guy who controls your entire existence!

O-oi. . .I appreciate the applause, but you shouldn’t lose your head over it. Am I gonna lose relationship points for this? But that was a really cool effect! Though, I do wonder why the game's set in a swamp? Maybe it's only stuck here on the demo disc they sent me to test. The skins are a little off, too. Huh. . .people don't come in that shade of gray, right? It's really turning me off this game. I mean, how can you continue to applaud me when your arms are fallin' off? Also, it’s tough to understand what are obviously odes to my greatness when you cut back their vocabulary to nothing but gurgles.

I have to say, what sold me on this game wasn’t just the awesome graphics and new levels of interactive capabilities. It was the much improved cooking option. As I always say, the best way to the heart of a manly and superb creature like myself is through his stomach! . . .should I be worried about this zombie steak option? Just look at that delicious cake my sims are wheeling out on screen right now. This must be it! I finished my first play through! Oh, look, there's writing on the cake: “Congratulations To Our Newest Resident, Kero-chan~ You Won The Game!” Hey, is it chocolate? I love—

The name is Cerberus! Don’t ya have someone quality checking things like that?! I might look tiny now, but my true form is super awesomely cool and. . .hey! Are you sims listenin' to me? I created you! Stop clapping and lend me your ears. People look at my true form in awe, do you hear that! In fact, I inspire so much awe in people that it comes out looking a lot like disdain! If I could just get in there and get my paws on you!

. . .wait. Since when does Sakura's room look like a swamp
