Well, although it is true that ferrets have been domesticated for about 2500 years, they come from polecats, which are still wild in Europe, and there are many groups of wild ferrets living in New Zealand. So although there are holes here and there, you are largely right. Truth be told, I really didn't think through the post to such an intense degree. In fact, a ferret was simply the first creature that came to mind, and Carbon, in fact, reminds me little of them. Given my experience with him in an RP and his pockmarked posts of work on a mod and wishing to get away for vacation, I would actually think of him as more of an elephant, being capable of domestication and even hard, serious work, but at the same time wishing to be free, even occassionally lashing out noticeably. Beyond that, he has a firm nature about himself that is not altogether unforgiving or harsh, but rather tempered by a desire for socialization and accomplishment and assisted by a reassurance of his resolute attitude.
