alex grew up in a broken household with a negligent, abusive, narcissistic father and a loving and caring but mentally ill mother who had sadly been drawn to the world of drug addiction by her very own husband, who made a living out of not only dealing but fabricating said drugs. it became obvious to alex at a very young age that he was on his own. despite all that, he had a pretty normal childhood (as normal as one can be with a parent who half of the time isn't there and whenever he is around, leaves you wishing he wasn't) up until he turned 6 and his younger sibling was born. alex adored him the moment he met him and bowed to protect him at all costs, the two became inseparable.

as years went by, issues within the warren household grew more evident and worrisome. alycia was at wit ends and robert only grew angrier to the point where neighbors, friends and teachers got involved and called the police. many times social services were called to make an investigation yet, nothing was ever found until one fateful day when alex was twelve and at school. child services came to visit and found alex' little sibling alone at home, playing with his father's tools. he was immediately taken away and they promised to be back for alexander however when they did, it was far too late. robert had cowardly ran away by himself the night before and alycia, scared they would take away her remaining child moved herself and alexander to san francisco

the two remaining members of the once warren family resided in san francisco for 4 years, alycia going as far as to starting up a plan to stay sober and take care of her kid and she could've sworn they would make it. things were starting to look up for the two of them until the day robert warren showed up to their home again, begging for their forgiveness and claiming he was ill. of course the two of them took him in and aided him best they could, at least until alex found the real reason he had come was because he needed money because he was being followed. alex kicked him out of the property after a huge fight for putting him and alycia in risk however it was far too late, the people looking for robert had already figured out where he had gone and one day, while alex was out at a party, someone came in and tried to take justice by their own hands, robing them and killing alycia who was simply waiting for her son to return home. alex spiraled for months on end, nowhere to go and completely alone in the world. after those months, alex dedicated the remaining time in high school picking himself back up, swearing he'd become someone his mother would be proud of

upon high school graduation, alex moved to new york when he was accepted into nyu's polisci department and once he graduated, he briefly decided to leave ny to worked twice as hard for a phd in the field in gwu while doing an internship for the governor of washington dc. for four years he worked tirelessly to be the best he could be in his position while seeking a higher education that could one day, lead him to have a brighter future in the field.

one night, while celebrating him obtaining his phd and a significant raise that would put him in control of the entire campaign of the new candidate for mayor, alexander had a meltdown. throughout the years working in the field, it hadn't occurred to him a job could make him unhappy until the day he was offered a permanent position in a campaign, a nudge that one day, he could be the one calling all the shots. he realized how much he despised the life he had led the past few years and without a second thought, quit his job and fled washington to return to the one place he always felt at home: brooklyn.

in ny, he worked as many odd jobs as he could do fend for himself and with the help of friends and loved ones, he got back on his feet again, enough to return to a long lost love of his: creative writing. every time alex wasn't working, he was writing, creating worlds he could run to when life got too overwhelming and one day, with the encouragement of a few friends who saw potential in his writing, he took his work to a friend who owned a publishing house, to see if they could see a future for him in the industry. the yes was immediate and although some edits were meant to be made, his friend offered to publish his work for him the minute the two agreed it was perfect.

his first novel, a fantasy based on an old story he had invented for his sibling many years ago, was published seventeen days before his thirtieth birthday after a year of editing old works and reshaping every writing he had done. the first few months were hard, made alexander truly wander if he had made the right choice and if his calling was really to write yet slowly and steadily demand for the book began to pick up and not even six months after it was published, it became a new york times best seller; surpassing everyone’s expectations for a book by a unknown writer. after the second edition of the novel, it became a moderate success, which earned alexander a new deal with the evergrowing publishing house for two more books, his friend offering him a partnership by giving him a part of the publishing house as part of his payment.

the second installment of the novel that came two years after the first became even bigger, selling out the day it was announced, two months before its release. fans and critics became eager to learn what the third would bring— whilst alexander had no idea what to respond, as writers block had taken yet another victim on this new author and ruined whatever idea he had put on paper.

as of now, he is still trying to breathe the world that brought him fame and renown into reality for one last installment with little to no success, while expanding his horizons to new genres he's eager to explore. he shares a lovely condo in green point with his roommate and pollux, his four year old dog.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

PEACE . ( plat? could be rom / any gender )

relationships are as complex as human beings. we are volatile, coarse by nature; and things only get harsher when emotional baggage/mental health issues are carried and tossed around. it’s a russian roulette half the time, loving and carrying for those around you, but oh how worth it it is when you can find someone who understands you even without speaking, someone who knows you and your inner demons and still sticks by your side. although nothing is perfect and there will never be peace, you can keep eachother warm.

I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU . ( plat / any gender )

the cory to his shawn, the phoebe to his joey, the chandler to his joey. he is a very loving person all together and deems himself a friendly guy who cares about all the people in his life, however this person has a special place in his heart. they are his go-to whenever something goes wrong and they need help, they are one of those people he’d do anything for and, most importantly, they are one of the few people who really know him, beyond the smiles and good times. who know the darkness that lies deep within him, perhaps the person he trusts the most in the world.

EASE MY MIND / SO WILL I . ( plat / any gender )

there are people who, even without a single word, can bring light into your world by simply existing. whenever something goes wrong, when the world is about to crumble down— they become your go-to, the one safe place that can ease your soul in the darkest hour and you can only hope that you can do the very same for them.

WORSHIP . ( rom / any gender )

being a hopeless romantic entails many things. shared with an overachiever personality and a passionate soul whose sole existance revolves around making other’s happy— and you get yourself a giver. conventional relationships are not something you can handle, for one reason or another. doesn’t mean that every lover is not especial and deserves to be worshipped, something you are devoted to.

GETAWAY CAR . ( rom / any gender )

it was, in every sense of the word, a rebound. one had a broken heart after a failed engagement and the other had their reasons— but it was meant as simply that. it lasted way longer than anyone expected it to, and when it ended, it wasn’t exactly soundless. both parts knew it wouldn’t last; however they weren’t ready for how damaging the outcome would be.

KEEP DRIVING . ( plat / any gender )

’We held darkness in withheld clouds I would ask, “Should we just keep driving?”’ when things get hard, when everything is going downhill, these two simply count on eachother to get on a car and keep driving. snacks and meaningful conversations withheld at 90 miles an hour to no forseen destiny— it may be one of alex’s most honest relationships.

DAYDREAMING . ( rom / any gender )

it’s still casual and new— but it’s all he’s been daydreaming about. the night calls, the illicit visits, the joy of having something private and non-commital and the way even one message from them can turn his entire day upside down.

work friends. people in the literary world that know of him? perhaps a secret club where literary lovers gather around and exchange ideas over a few bottles of champagne and french pastries? perhaps even a few of his work?

HALF SIBLINGS (robert warren got AROUND and there is a chance he had multiple kids? who knows?)

friends FAMILY FRIENDS, BAD INFLUENCES, good influences

family, maybe? cousins?

flings, one-side crushes, flirtationships, fwb, affairs, past lovers (however the relationship ended in good terms or bad, can be discussed?) the sky is the limit

tw: drug use, abuse, death mention, panic attack mention

abigail grew up dreaming of becoming two things: a successful ballerina and the loving mother she herself never had. she worked day and night, running herself thin for years until she made it to the nyc ballet company as their prima ballerina at the impressive age of 24. it was that candor, passion and grace she exuded while on the stage that caught the attention of a young robert warren who, by some magnificent miracle happened to be on the crowd for alycia's very second presentation on stage. he decided to introduce himself after the show and they hit it off right away, went out for a drink and nine months on the dot, alexander warren was born on hermosa beach, robert's hometown.

alex grew up in a broken household with a negligent, abusive, narcissistic father and a loving and caring but mentally ill mother who had sadly been drawn to the world of drug addiction by her very own husband, who made a living out of not only dealing but fabricating said drugs. it became obvious to alex at a very young age that he was on his own. despite all that, he had a pretty normal childhood (as normal as one can be with a parent who half of the time isn't there and whenever he is around, leaves you wishing he wasn't) up until he turned 6 and his younger sibling was born. alex adored him the moment he met him and vowed to protect him at all costs, the two became inseparable.

as years went by, issues within the warren household grew more evident and worrisome. abigail was at wit ends and robert only grew angrier to the point where neighbors, friends and teachers got involved and called the police. many times social services were called to make an investigation yet, nothing was ever done until the day robert got tired of his family and ran away in the middle of the night without saying a word. and although everyone in the family knew it would be difficult for all, especially for abigail who now had to find a way to provide for two children after years of not working, they couldn't help but feel free for the first time in their lives.

knowing there was nothing left in hermosa beach for them, the now family of two used all the money they had left to flee the town and move to clearwater, ny when alexander was 12, a few months after robert left. it was abigail's hometown and she still had some family left there she knew she could rely on. slowly but surely they worked on getting their lives back together in a new town and finding that peace they had been looking for for the past twelve years. the ghost of robert is haunted them but the three grew closer and stronger and began the life they had always dreamed of with abigail becoming a ballet teacher.

however, it didn't take long for robert to find the family again. a few years into their new lives, now with alexander as a high school student who dared to dream of a better future for himself and his family that he could help achieve, robert came knocking on their door, begging for forgiveness and a place to spend his 'last days' according to him. abigail, scarred yet moved by kindness and the truth that this was the father of her children, took robert in (spite of what her own children had to say). for a few months, the four of them tried to make it work again. to bring robert into their lives (abigail thinking her children needed a father and her children doing it for abigail and her peace of mind) until the faithful day alexander happened to listen to a conversation between his father and a friend of his. in the call, robert admitted to be hiding from some dangerous people he had messed with in clearwater and claimed as soon as he knew he was safe, he'd leave the family home again without first taking everything her mother had worked for. enraged, alexander kicked him out of the house threatening to call the cops if he didn't leave. robert fled cowardly after fighting and insulting his first born.

however, unbeknownst to the family, it was already too late. the people who had been searching for robert knew he had gone to clearwater and although he had fled, they were ready to take revenge on who they knew were his family. alexander's sibling who was the only one in the house by the time they arrived as abigail was working and alexander had gone to look for a job of his own to help his mother, was the one target of the attack. the people looking for robert saw a young, healthy young man and decided to take him instead of harming him and by the time alex and abigail went back home, their youngest was nowhere to be found. his high school years became a blur; other than work and school alexander spent every waking moment searching for his brother to no avail and once the case got cold by the officers, the remaining family lost all hopes.

upon graduating high school, still grieving his sibling but knowing he had the responsibility of caring for himself and his mother now, alexander applied to nyu in their criminal justice program, knowing he wanted to be the type of person who protects people from what had happened to his little brother. after some considering, alexander and abigail moved to new york for him to start his college years, abigail continue her career as a ballet teacher in the same academy she had once been discovered in and alexander picking up two jobs in order for him to care for himself, his mother and his college expenses.

the next four years came and went fast; with the blink of an eye alexander was graduating college and moving to quantico to get trained in the fbi while abigail decided to move back to clearwater. a year and thousands of hours dedicated to the craft later, the oldest of the warren children was working for the fbi and had been assigned to new york again. alexander worked tiresly to be the person he thought he needed to be, the federal agent he had dreamed of for years after his sibling's disappearance who helped the good and caught the bad guys however, the more he put his heart and soul into the job, the more he grew to abhor it. by age 25 he was on a promising path towards becoming one of the youngest' agents to reach a directive position and dreading every moment spent on the clock until the day he was injured while on a mission. it was life-threatening, he had to spent weeks in the hospital which gave him some sort of clarity about what he was doing with his life and ultimately, alexander resigned his job.

now lost in a sea of vast opportunities, alexander gave himself a few weeks to think his next step through and decided to visit his mother in clearwater for some peace of mind. upon arrival to the first little town he ever called home, he was reminded of it's charm and with little convincing from his mother and the rest of his family, alexander moved back to clearwater as there was nothing left keeping him in new york. he used some of his savings on part of a mortgage on a lovely house downtown and even enrolled in chrisholm college to get his phD in criminal justice, with the objective of his next goal set on becoming a professor.

at age 30, now with his phD in hand after 4 years of intense work, he was offered a position in the college by his very own senior teacher to become his teaching assistant and after 4 more years of work and learning side by side with his professor, he landed himself the position of associate professor at age 35 due to his outstanding performance.

I don't know if it was on purpose or not, but the name Bor'Dor sounds awfully similar to borador (i.e., a border collie x labrador)

Here's what they look like for anyone curious

It is for this reason that I petition Bor'Dor Dog'Son to not be considered wet-cat-pathetic, but kicked-puppy-pathetic

4 Years ago today we lost you.

Somedays it still doesn’t seem real.

There wasn’t a you without me. You were my best friend, my shadow, my little man.

Most days we still talk about you. We smile, laugh and remember you with so much love.

However days like today we can’t even mention your name without tears.

You gave me the best 14 years and I will hold every single memory in my heart forever.

I miss you terribly & I’ll love you always Echo 🐾🩵🐶

Yeah I agree, they should really fix existing characters' bugs and lack of content before adding anything else. Considering my current playthrough had Minthara show up to Moonrise butt-ass naked and immediately ran up to project smut into Tavs head was something else.

Or is the fact that Wyll, one of the few male characters I like, has enough content to fill a thimble. I always felt like they never gave him enough time to breathe.

On the side of a short race companion, I'm definitely putting Sazza on the board. The number of opportunities we get to save her made me think at least we could have her as a camp companion but no. Can one piece of media let us have one goblin friend?

For a call back character, I can't say much regarding Baldur's gate 1&2 since I've only played the Dark Alliance games.(Vhaidra Uoswiir, my beloved).

Maybe Borador Goldhand? I remember him to be quite charming, but take that with a grain of salt. It's been over a decade since I touched those games.

The Minthara thing happens if you loot her armour after knocking her out. It is so funny, omfg.

And for Wyll, yeah, he got the short end of the stick because his character was remade last minute. In early access he was a totally different person with a different premise about Mizora, she was kinda of his lover at the time I think? It's hard to remember the old Wyll now with the new Wyll.

Hmm if theoretically you could add a short race character to the companions, not a npc one but a new one you made up, how would they be?

For me, I'd kill for a dwarf with a magnificent beard who's a monk. Or maybe a rogue halfling who is all happy and sunshines to contrast the edginess of her class? Like she's completely deadly but also makes a pun after killing someone.

The classes we are missing are: Sorcerer, Bard and Monk. Enough for a Halfling, gnome, and dwarf.

Labrador Mix: Your Perfect Family Dog Companion

Labrador Retriever mixes have gained immense popularity among dog lovers, and for good reason! These hybrid pups combine the intelligence, loyalty, and affectionate nature of a Labrador Retriever with the unique traits of another breed. Whether you’re looking for a playful, energetic companion or a laid-back cuddle buddy, a Labrador mix can be the perfect addition to your family.

In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about Labrador mixes, including their characteristics, temperament, care needs, and the best types of Lab mixes for families.

What Is a Labrador Mix?

A Labrador mix is a crossbreed that results from combining a Labrador Retriever with another dog breed. The traits of a Labrador mix can vary significantly depending on the other parent breed. However, most Lab mixes inherit the Lab’s friendly demeanor, intelligence, and trainability.

Some popular Labrador mixes include:

Labradoodle (Labrador + Poodle) – Hypoallergenic and intelligent

Goldador (Labrador + Golden Retriever) – Friendly and gentle

Sheprador (Labrador + German Shepherd) – Protective and loyal

Boxador (Labrador + Boxer) – Energetic and playful

Borador (Labrador + Border Collie) – Highly intelligent and active

Why Choose a Labrador Mix?

Labrador mixes offer many advantages that make them ideal family pets:

1. Friendly and Social

Labs are known for their friendly and social nature, and this trait is often passed down to their mixed-breed offspring. They get along well with children, other pets, and even strangers!

2. Intelligent and Trainable

Labrador mixes typically inherit the intelligence of their Lab parent, making them easy to train. They excel in obedience, agility, and even service roles.

3. Versatile Energy Levels

Some Labrador mixes are highly energetic and need plenty of exercise, while others are more relaxed. This means you can find a Lab mix that fits your lifestyle.

4. Unique Appearances and Traits

Since they are mixed breeds, no two Labrador mixes look exactly the same. They come in various coat colors, sizes, and personality traits, making each one unique.

Caring for a Labrador Mix

1. Diet and Nutrition

A balanced diet is essential for a Labrador mix’s overall health. High-quality dry kibble, supplemented with fresh proteins, vegetables, and healthy fats, ensures they get the necessary nutrients.

2. Exercise Needs

Most Labrador mixes are energetic and require at least 60 minutes of exercise daily. Activities like fetch, swimming, and hiking are great ways to keep them physically and mentally stimulated.

3. Grooming Requirements

The grooming needs of a Labrador mix depend on the other breed in the mix. Short-haired Lab mixes require minimal grooming, while those with longer or curlier coats (e.g., Labradoodles) need regular brushing.

4. Health Considerations

Labrador mixes can inherit health issues from both parent breeds. Common concerns include hip dysplasia, obesity, and ear infections. Regular vet check-ups and a healthy diet can help manage these risks.

5. Training and Socialization

Early training and socialization are key to raising a well-behaved Labrador mix. Positive reinforcement methods work best, as Labs are eager to please and respond well to rewards.

Best Labrador Mixes for Families

If you’re looking for a family-friendly Lab mix, consider these options:

Goldador (Labrador + Golden Retriever) – Gentle, affectionate, and great with kids.

Labradoodle (Labrador + Poodle) – Intelligent and hypoallergenic, ideal for families with allergies.

Boxador (Labrador + Boxer) – Playful and energetic, perfect for active households.

Sheprador (Labrador + German Shepherd) – Protective and loyal, making them great watchdogs.

Conclusion

A Labrador mix can be the perfect family companion, offering a blend of loyalty, intelligence, and love. Whether you’re an active individual looking for an adventure partner or a family in search of a gentle and affectionate pet, there’s a Lab mix that suits your needs. With proper care, training, and lots of love, your Labrador mix will become a cherished member of your family for years to come!
