How did Shin lose his eye in Pet Au?

Admin Skitty:

-The tale of Shin’s lost eye is a tragic one and took place in his childhood. The very first owners of Shin’s were a couple that belonged to a prestigious and well known family. Famous among many for their prized pets and involvement in the breeding community. For only those in this aristocracy with the most money would be able to even come close to affording the price of a Pureblood. Bought as a gift for their son, Shin was left in this child’s care which was cruel and inattentive. The child was brought up surrounded by pets and submerged within the breeding community and culture, leading him to develop this ideal that pets were unworthy and that Pureblood or not their worth was nothing as they could be easily replaced for the right price.

Shin was put under heavy mental and physical distress due to the demands made by this impatient and unusually severe child while under his care. It came to a point in which in one instance, Shin lashed back at him fed-up with his mistreatment. That was his mistake. As would have been acceptable in this society Shin was beat nearly to death by the boy. Though to the sick minded child this was not enough punishment for this ‘injustice’ and demanded a trophy from the broken pet, as a reminder to know his place. The only price he deemed acceptable was that Shin rip out his own eye which had been a personal favorite of any owner who had seen him. Shin had protested and refused, but inevitably had gone through with the torturous process when the child threatened to buy Carla simply to kill him in front of Shin for his disobedience. As it was rumored that because of a rare case he was being sold cheaper on the market.

After collecting his trophy the child began to grow bored of Shin and his parents fearing that the image they upheld inside of the community would be threatened by the defective merchandise, claimed Shin as ‘Not fit for use’ and promptly had him sold to the owner who would have bought Carla as well. Young Shin reunited with his brother was no longer as free-spirited or playful, but broken and a shell of what he could have been.

Pet AU: What are the Diaboys’ daily lives?

Admin Mawile: (o゜◇゜)ノ

Shuu:

-He mostly tries to stay out of the way and not do anything to warrant punishing. Shuu would rather sleep in a dark corner somewhere and be forgotten about than risk making an owner angry, and he’s gotten pretty good at escaping notice.

Reiji:

-Typically, pets are either left in solitary confinement, caged, or with each other when not otherwise needed. Reiji rarely does anything to earn solitary confinement or extra restraint, so most of his time is spent in the same holding room as whichever of his brothers aren’t in trouble at the time.

Ayato:

-He does try to behave, but his efforts frequently do more harm than good. Thus, Ayato is often in some kind of punishment, whether directly delivered by an owner, or left in isolation to keep him out of the way. Most trainers dislike dealing with him due to his excitable, impulsive nature.

Kanato:

-Kanato is easily upset and often incoherent, so (for his own safety, as it’s said), he’s often kept well restrained and/or by himself. Unfortunately, the isolation makes him even more unstable, creating a vicious cycle of acting out and suffering the consequences for it.

Laito:

-Since he’s mostly well behaved, Laito doesn’t spend a lot of time locked away by himself. He’s known for being obedient and easy to deal with, so he’s often allowed to stay with his brothers and relatively unrestrained. However, his minuscule amount of freedom doesn’t do him a lot of good.

Subaru:

-Because of his violent outbursts, he spends a lot of time in solitary confinement, which basically entails being alone and tightly restrained in a small, dark room where he can’t bother anyone. Since he’s been deemed unsafe to own, no one really cares what happens to him anymore.

Ruki:

-He and his brothers spend every day trying to survive. If they’re caught by humans, they’d be killed, and finding food and shelter while avoiding capture is no easy feat. Since Ruki is the appointed “leader”, it’s become his responsibility to make sure they succeed.

Kou:

-Thanks to the years’ worth of traumas (both physical and mental) he’s accumulated, most days, Kou can’t do much more than curl up and try to make it through the nightmares. Even something so seemingly simple as sitting up at the wrong time can set off a chain of panic and pain.

Yuuma:

-Helping Ruki take care of the weaker two, mostly. Since he’s bigger, stronger, and more alert than Azusa, Ruki usually takes him on their food missions. Humans are much more aware (and wary) of him due to his intimidating figure, though, so he has to be very careful when out.

Azusa:

-Azusa is weak and spacey enough that Ruki doesn’t want him anywhere dangerous or demanding, so his job is usually keeping an eye on Kou, and making sure he doesn’t injure himself or have to be by himself when he’s stuck in one of his frequent nightmares.

Carla:

-Since his illness started to weaken him, Carla has been left out of anything thought to be too harsh for him. In an attempt to slow the progression of the illness and keep his body from further stress, he’s mostly left alone to rest. And yet, he remains exhausted and pained more often than not.

Shin:

-With his brother mostly out of commission, Shin is the one who has to do more. Aside from the daily training (to make sure he’s always well behaved and ready to sell), he’s often shown off to interested parties as a rare, well bred First Blood, lower quality younger brother he may be.

So if pets that don’t get sold get put down, how close are the guys to that?

Admin Mawile: (*´-｀*)

Shuu:

-Sadly, pretty close. He’s lethargic and reserved, and so far from an ideal, eager-to-please pet that coupled with him nearing adulthood, his seller doesn’t want to waste much more time and resources on him.

Reiji:

-Actually, other than his age, Reiji doesn’t have a lot of reasons why he shouldn’t be purchased. His worry about being put down is mostly paranoia, but the day very well could be coming.

Ayato:

-As obsessed as Ayato is with being worth something to an owner, no one has yet to show any interest. Well trained or not, no seller wants to keep wasting time and effort on one of the many that just doesn’t sell.

Kanato:

-He’s plenty well-behaved, but his strange, disconnected personality has put off all potential buyers. If no one takes an interest soon, well, there isn’t anyone who really wants to keep him alive.

Laito:

-Laito’s main problem is his age. His good breeding and temperament have gotten him this far, but he’s aging out of the window where anyone would be willing to adopt. His chances still aren’t bad, though.

Subaru:

-It could happen any day. Subaru has a history of violent behavior, and no good pet is dangerous. He’s been removed from the adoption list, and if no less-than-legal buyer takes him, he’s done for.

Ruki:

-As strays, he and his brothers would be subject to instant disposal. Ruki’s temperament is fine, but his scarred, branded body, poor pedigree, and history of being an escaped stray strip away any worth he may have had.

Kou:

-If the four of them are found, chances are he would be killed immediately. His body is scarred and broken, and his mind just as destroyed. There’s very little to Kou left that would have any value to an owner.

Yuuma:

-All strays are just out of luck, of course, but Yuuma has even more hurting his chances. His burn scars and large size make him look more like a torn up fighter than any kind of pet.

Azusa:

-Azusa is more than obedient enough for a seeming untrained stray, but no one would want a pet as damaged as him. Even as eager to please as he is, there’d be no hesitation to just get rid of him.

Carla:

-No one wants to put a purebred First Blood down, especially not one as well trained as Carla is. But his illness takes away a lot of value, and his breeder is considering just cutting his losses and getting rid of defective merchandise.

Shin:

-His missing eye may be a bit of a problem, but Shin is still doing pretty well. As long as he doesn’t get really unlucky, he should find an owner long before anyone seriously considers getting rid of him.
