Admin Mawile: ✧٩(•́⌄•́๑) Glad you like it!! Pet Au is my favorite too
-To start, the ideal “career” is always house pet. The ones that stay inside, don’t have to do physical labor, and are more or less cared for because their owner doesn’t want them dead. There are disadvantages to that kind of life too, yeah, but it’s a lot better than being literally worked to death or killed from sheer negligence. BUT, the kind of people that want house pets are picky. They want small, harmless things that are purebred, delicate, and don’t even look like any kind of threat. They want what’s more a good looking ornament than a living creature, and pets that look too dangerous, don’t have a good history, or aren’t pretty or vulnerable looking or countless other selective things are the ones that hardly have a chance.
The worse situations, the ones that usually befall the pets that can’t achieve house pet status, those tend to be either outright cruel or fatally negligent. Vampires are strong, so they’re useful in hard labor. They can be “employed” for much less cost than humans, because there are few rules regarding safety or health. Due to that extreme lack of regulation, they can be easily used for anything from product testing to barely legal “escort” services. Then there are the illegal operations, the ones that have former pets fighting each other to death for the entertainment of spectators, the ones that are even more horrific than that. There aren’t many “good” options, really.
Shuu:
–If he wasn’t put down for being too lethargic to use, and wasn’t lucky enough to have an indoor home, he’d likely wind up as cheap labor. Nothing special or prized, just one more way to save money. Likely not extreme physical work, though, more like some kind of factory.
Reiji:
-He’s destined to be a prized house pet, of course! With his good breeding, delicate features, and perfect obedience, there’s no more suitable option. If he was thrown away, though, he’d likely end up in the kind of illegal activity that values good looks…
Ayato:
-He’s well bred enough to easily be a house pet, but so far, hasn’t had much luck in that pursuit. Quite possibly, Ayato’s best option will end up being nowhere near as pleasant. Probably not anything outright horrific, just another average situation where he means very little.
Kanato:
-He’s cute, tiny, and the very picture of a house pet. Too small to be useful for most labor, and too mentally fragile to take much of anything, house pet is really Kanato’s only option. Fortunately, being the treasured doll of a doting owner is the best sort of life he can picture.
Laito:
-He’s well behaved and well bred enough to have house pet as his greatest use. He’s not strong enough to be worth much in labor or fights, but so obviously a purebred that certain other kinds of illegal operations would find him to be an excellent asset.
Subaru:
-Subaru has a history of violence and misbehavior that make it near impossible for the good kind of home. He has been deemed unsafe to own, even, thanks to his violent outbursts. Other than death, his only foreseeable future is a fight ring, where that kind of aggression is appreciated.
Ruki:
-If he wasn’t a stray and a low quality breed to begin with, he would have been an ideal house pet. He’s pretty, gentle, quiet and easily obedient, and almost certainly would have found such a home. But as it is, some kind of non-physical labor is likely his best option.
Kou:
-Thanks to his poor quality of breed, he couldn’t have been a house pet. Thanks to his good looks and specific history, the kind of life he had in the original shelter would have been his future; being tortured and used for the entertainment of humans.
Yuuma:
-Thanks to his size and power, his only future is hard labor. Yuuma is seen as intimidating and dangerous to the owners that want house pets, so his best use is being quite literally worked to death. Other than that, a fight ring or similar illegal business is his only other option.
Azusa:
-His small, fragile body and delicate looks make him seem like a house pet, but he’s far too damaged for those kinds of owners to take interest in. Most likely, he’d wind up in the type of awful place that makes its business off of the suffering of the creatures it keeps.
Carla:
-Due to the rarity of First Bloods, they’re almost exclusively kept as private pets, and most are used for shows. With his good looks, said shows are his most probable future. No one wants a special breed like him dead, so it’s highly unlikely he’d ever end up as anything but a house pet.
Shin:
-Like Carla, Shin is too valuable to wind up anywhere other than a private home. His missing eye blocks any career in showing (too damaged), so a wealthy owner with a taste for the flawed is where he’ll end up. Worst case scenario, that’s the kind of owner that likes to hurt.
