There, he lived a relatively normal puppyhood until the day he was picked out by a little girl he'd know to be called Penny. She was his person, and he was her dog. All was well with the world. Cut to five years later where Bolt and Penny learn that Penny's father has been kidnapped. However, thanks to experiments that were performed on Bolt, he had supoerpowers to protect his human with. Super barks, heat vision, laser eyes, you name it and Bolt had it. He was a hero who would do anything to protect his girl. After all, someone had to if they were going to find the evil Dr. Calico and rescue Penny's father! Except... none of that was real. Unbeknownst to Bolt, his whole life was fabricated around him. In actuality he was just a TV star performing on a television show, and there was no real danger. For all he knew, Penny might not even have really been named Penny. Still, it was crucial that Bolt believe everything was real for the sake of believability in the audience. However, everything changed when the show was in danger of losing its older demographic. In an attempt to save the ratings, the show decided to abandon the formula of always having a happy ending in every episode and ended on a cliffhanger where, much to Bolt's horror, Penny was kidnapped. There was only one thing going through Bolt's mind after that. He had to find her. So, thinking he was still in Calico's base, Bolt made a break for it and escaped into the real world. He ran away in a mad dash to find Penny, but only wound up getting himself lost and shipped all the way to New York after knocking himself out. Once there, he found a cat named Mittens and forced her into traveling with him under the pretense that she was a minion of Dr. Calico. Over the course of his journey with Mittens, Bolt would later befriend a super fan of his named Rhino and, after an incident that led to him and Mittens getting captured by animal control, he learned the horrible truth. He had no super powers. None of what he believed had been real. Which... was exactly what Mittens had been trying to tell him. Bolt still wanted to get home. However, he and Rhino made a trip to save Mittens before resuming their journey. Finally, he made it back to Hollywood and eventually split from the group to find Penny. Only when he did, he discovered that she seemed to have replaced him with a lookalike dog. Once again, it seemed like Mittens was right. His human, his person, didn't really care about him. He was just another actor that could be replaced. What made Bolt go back to her, though, was an incident that occurred shortly after he left the soundstage. The building caught fire after his double was scared on set, and it was up to him to rescue his Penny. He courageously rushed in to the burning soundstage to look for her, and found her. After guiding her to what was the only way out, though, it became clear that Penny wouldn't fit through it. He had the option to save himself. Leaving Penny behind just wasn't an option to Bolt, though, and so he chose to stay. He accepted what seemed to be an inevitable fate until finally help came to save the both of them. Once all of that was said and done and both he and Penny were confirmed to be okay, something he never expected happened. Penny decided to quit working on the show and took Bolt to live in a normal environment. All she had wanted the whole time was for him to live as a normal dog. Now, thanks to Mittens, he knew what that life was all about. He even got to live with Mittens and Rhino too because they were adopted by the new family. For a year and a half, the family stayed that way. Then the worlds merged. For the most part, Bolt didn't really notice anything that different. Just the occasional new face on his and Penny's walks in the park. However, whispers of war did start to reach his ears. Now, as a normal dog, he didn't have to get caught up in all of that nonsense. He could stay home with Penny where it was safe. Except... Bolt couldn't accept that. Even though he knew he wasn't a super dog, he wanted to do something to help. Something that might make Penny proud even if it did worry her. He wanted to join the cause and do something to help regardless of his inability to fight. So, Bolt left in the dead of night and headed for the Enchanted Suns. When he arrived, he quickly realized he would need to do something apart from fighting. So he offered his services as a messenger dog. While he may not have had fighting skills, he liked to think he was pretty fast. It could be crucial in a situation sooner or later, he thought. Bolt just had to hope that it would be enough and that the rest of his family would stay safe while he was gone. the Role play sample Nope. Have a smol headcanon, though. Bolt lost some of his sense of smell after the fire rescue at the end of the movie. He still can function all right regardless, but won't ever be able to smell as keenly as other dogs again. the role player alias • Corgi age • 28 pronouns • She/her other characters • Light Fury, Tiana, Fuli, Balto, Helga Sinclair, Rebecca, Varian, Bonnie, Nia, Orchid, Kopa, Mozenrath, Rita, Su Wu, Banzai, Red, Valka, Chuluun, Kijana |
