Nine is alive.. and with new health.

Say hello..
Name; "Nine"
Age; young adult*
Gender; male
Sexuality; panromantic asexual

Species; deer of the TEF variety
Height; ~3' at shoulders
Weight; ~102 lbs.
Afflictions; albino, eunuch, no antlers

Speaks; red subtext
Voice; Mei; Arashi No Yoru Ni *

Possessions; snow globe; a special gift from someone dear to him, massive troupe of rats, beast helm, skull 'mask'..
Location; "Throne", his ferns, behind the Crying Idol

Created; Sept. 1st, 2009 (9-1-09), awoke in the forest as an adult
Birth; date unregistered
*Nine will not disclose his age to anyone.



Don't be shy..
Stability; One of Nine's few great fears is sudden, drastic changes in his lifestyle. He thrives on routine, unless he initiates change on his own.

Security; Another of his few and far between fears is loss, which is connected to his fear of change. This is expressed in his tendencies of possessiveness and habit of sitting as close as possible to someone- even if that means on or under them.

Safety; Nine fears very little. Though brave, he is not a fool; he knows he is small and in that, vulnerable. He backs himself with friends of strength and loyalty.

Idleness; Between bursts of exuberance, Nine sleeps. He easily sleeps a day away without stirring.

Purity; Nine has the heart of a newborn babe and the gentleness of a saint, when his behavior isn't corrupted by selfishness, greed, or petty jealousy.

Childlike; Though an adult, he tends to have an air of someone far younger, often feigning ignorance. He has a 'bubbliness' to his behavior.

Stubborn; His stubbornness is usually isolated to himself and his admittance to an err he may have made. He has trouble allowing himself to face up and fess up. He has never cried.


You're not alone..
Bylah; A powerful figure in Nine's life and possibly the one that has made the most impact on him as an individual. Since their meeting, Nine has matured greatly but has also grown to depend heavily on Bylah's presence. When in his company, Nine shows defensive and territorial behavior towards strangers who he feels may come too near for his or Bylah's comfort. Nine holds the highest respect and vast endearment for this entity and considers him and all that he is, 'home'. It is not unusual to see the boy sitting alone in Bylah's otherwise vacant sunbeam. The king's absence has had a crippling effect on him emotionally and psychologically, but the experience leaves him farther room to grow.

As to the deeper aspects of their relationship, Bylah and Nine are difficult to describe. Some things, though, are best left undefined.



Dhudhwa; In par with Bylah, Nine simply adores Dhuddy. He is a very vital aspect to the boy's life and fills the crucial gap that Bylah simply cannot. There is a deep and powerful mutual bond between them and though their shared love for each other is unsurpassed, it is unique to most other relationships in that it manages to remain strictly platonic. After they met and rapidly became close and reliant on each other, Nine struggled to keep a stable balance between Bylah and Dhudhwa in his heart and on occasion, he still does. He couldn't live with himself if he were to truly lose either of them, for they are as much a part of themselves as they are a part of him. Quite simply, they have his heart.




A gruesome facade..
.. for such a charming face beneath. Why do you hide?


The Helmet; Nine's most cherished and sacred possession, it came to the forest with him and has always been with him, save for the few instances that he may have dropped it. The helm's design appears to be some sort of nonexistent monster, a row of jagged, pointed teeth along its ridge, fierce eye sockets, and spiked horns jutting from the back and sides.

Its significance at a glance may be unclear, and it's easy for one to assume that it's a means of intimidation, or even protection, but for its owner it is a powerful and very personal tool.

Nine finds a great amount of comfort, confidence, and security in wearing his helmet. With it, he has a fuller sense of self and is more stable, emotionally. When it's removed from his person, Nine may seem more humble, vulnerable, and aware of eyes and ears that may be on him. In short, it is his security blanket and also a part of his psyche. It's virtually impossible for him to be healthy if it is removed permanently or terminated.

He tends to take the helmet off more when he feels comfortable and safe in someone's company, usually that of Bylah or Nine, or if his head needs a good tree-rubbing. Unfortunately, while wearing it, he has an obvious blind spot and does a good amount of sniffing if you meet him up front. He often stands at the side of someone and leans on them or circles them or their legs* and is less inclined to give frontal attention unless he's nuzzling or sniffing. Don't be offended if he turns at an angle to look at you.


(This information may be likely to change over time. Most of if was written on the spot.)
*This is also a show of affection, like a cat rubbing, especially if done repeatedly.



































Jettem.. Dhuddy.. Kaoori, Wesker, Saosin--
Bylah.

I wonder if they offer housing, too.. that would probably decide it for me.

Dhud would crash on your couch.

He can have the couch. XD

Nine would likely sleep on a rug. :| Weirdo.

Wouldn't surprise me if he

Wouldn't surprise me if he was a sleep kicker. Dhud sleeps like the dead, sometimes in awkward angles.

That's why Dhud keeps his rattail away from Nine.

''Is this going to be a recurring thing?'

Oh, no. He actually doesn't

Oh, no. He actually doesn't move much- and oddly.. does the same thing, even as a deer.
Old doodles, lol..

Hehehe, he's just being silly. x)

Maybe not. c': I'd like to keep my teeth. *leans on, instead*

"Pfft. Don't fret,

"Pfft. Don't fret, Nugget..don't like him, but I won't stand in the way. I don't have the right. And he makes you happy, I guess. I'm not going to play the jealous boyfriend, I like you too much for that. I eat up enough of your time anyway."

/end half-assed uber passionate speech.

(ahahaha, he poofed. :c)
I dunno if I've explained B and 9's relationship to you, already.. it's complicated, really, and very one-sided.

I don't expect you to, Dhuddy.. but I can't help but feel guilty walking away- but, all the same.. I'm expected by his side.. *fidgets* I don't know.

I'm sure there's some

I'm sure there's some inkling of something there. Deep deep down. Deep. You can't really help but like Nine. Dhud's been here since late December and Nine's the first and only deeer he considers to be his friend. He doesn't even have acquaintances

"I'll miss you when you're gone, and always welcome you back. You don't owe me any explanation. It is what it is. A little time away can be good. I don't want our friendship to be centered on obligation. And I kind of feel like I'm leaning on you a little too much. I want you feel you can hang around others. *Mush*

None at all? That's weird..

None at all? That's weird.. has no one else even tried? :/
I noticed ol' Dhuds a lot around the pond.. and before the rain even sat with him on various occasions. c: I try not to overlook too many deer if I can help it.. I wish more people would open up to strangers, you know? Ah, well~

*nods a little* Ok.. you're right, I know.. *nuzzle* I'll see you sometime soon, then.. ~&hearts

Not a one. But he hasn't exactly made an effort.

It's fine, Tally. <3 He stood over her a good while after she fell asleep, but he's trying to catch up with a few people he's been neglecting lately(and not doing a very good job of it, lol.. he's still afraid of Bylah ditching him, again..)

You should cast it on the BZD. I think it'll turn you into a bat. Shocked but I dunno.

I woke up with no

I woke up with no shape-shifting spell, just a pelt changing spell. Being a bat again would have been fun. p:

I changed my pelt (for as long as a fawn can /: ) to that nifty zombie one, though! Then ran around and hopped circles around you. XD

Then went and got that nifty skull mask (which I miss already).

Then ran to you and stared at you for a couple minutes.

Then ran back to BZD and am now, and have been for a while, dancing to the fog-music, which I quite enjoy.

Been meaning to ask, who is that? I remember seeing them earlier this week.

To be honest, I don't know

To be honest, I don't know the name of the deer OR the player, but they're nice. c:
They linger around Ninekins sometimes, so I do the same and play with them from time to time. x3

I think someone told me their name before.. but my memory is terrible, really..

I accidentally crashed

I accidentally crashed myself in the lamest way possible so to make up for it I came back as miniTally. Then when I woke up I mistook that red mini deer for 9 and confused him pretty bad. XD

I just can't do anything right today.

Moooomentai~ Oh, meet

I'm sorry, last night my dad decided to get back into the habit of turning my net off(at 2 a.m.??). He does it to encourage me not to stay up late, but I usually stay up drawing, anyway, if I'm not too tired.. honestly, I'm old enough to know my limits and how to fix my schedule. I don't need his help.. *rant*

Where do you want me to post

Where do you want me to post it for you?

Pfft, don't I know it. Almost 21 and my mom still likes to give/force her help on me where it's not wanted or needed. I'm not sure if it ever stops. My brother is 25 with a child and she does the same to him.

Oh, you can put it in a blog

Oh, you can put it in a blog or on the pictures page, I don't mind, really. c': fngnfnggfg *excited*

Grgh, parents.. is she ailing or anything? Mine has trouble sometimes and headaches caused by a neck injury.. but she usually insists on doing housework her self. She's a trouper. ~ ~;

And I really need a shower.

Will do. *posted*

She was in a pretty bad car accident when I was a kid, still has this spot in her head that bothers her from time to time. But other than that and the occasional back problems, she's good. I figure it's a family's job to drive you insane. I just ignore her to tell her to leave me be when she gets too fussy.

I'm sure it is.. here I have a sis that's nearly 40 and still lives with us(not too bad of a thing), but she tries to order me around and talk down to me like she's my mother or something. P:

My brother's the same. Always has been. He still says I'm not allowed to talk to boys. Neither is my mom apparently.

That's stupid.. XD Ah, what

That's stupid.. XD
Ah, what can you do? I'm both dreading and looking forward to leaving when I'm ready.. but I don't think I can stray too far from my mom, I want to take care of her. c':

[=red]*props his chin on Dhud's shoulder* Mmmhm.. hey, did I ever mention that you smell nice? *clings happily*[/sub]
(.. coming from someone who's spent many of his days with a mass of rotting flesh, bone, and fire? I'd expect everyone smells nice to him. |D)

Reminds me, Nine actually lost his head for the first time possibly.. in his life last night. He's usually very even-tempered.. but a pair of deer were spellspamming each other for what seemed like over an hour. He couldn't take it!
