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.

Mhmmm. c: Easy peasy..~

Mhmmm. c:

Easy peasy..~ *hugs to his arm and glances up at him, again, caught by his curiosity* Dhuddy, how'd you get that scar, anyway.. ?

*ceases scracthing at his scar and stares for a second* ...Hm? Ah...one of Freda's infamous tantrums...don't quite remember why she was so angry *shrugs*

*waggles finger*

Rawr, silly Bylah with his

Rawr, silly Bylah with his silly flames ROAR

*frowns a little and sticks a finger to his forehead* .. do you have tantrums? *more innocent curiosity(with a hint of pessimism~)*

Hellfiiiiire! Yes, one

Hellfiiiiire! Yes, one day.

*stares at finger and scoffs* Ah..no. I like to think Enshu's genes balanced out the crazy...my anger doesn't really surface, I prefer to bottle it up and let it fester..you know? Like a normal person *blinks owlishly at Nine*

Tsk, supposed to drink milk with that.

Roar, I'mazombie.

Roar, I'mazombie. *undeadfuryGLOW*

That will be the day..

*blinks back, removing the finger to hug Dhuddy's neck with a smile* That doesn't sound healthy- bottling things up.. *tilts his head thoughtfully* Hmm.. I'm not sure I like the word 'normal'.. no one's normal.. *narrows his eyes* It's a label of conformity and conformity strips someone of their identity.. that's what I think.
(Another lesson he probably learned from Bylah, indirectly. Laughing out loud)

Whatchoo talkin' 'bout. I drink milk with EVERYTHING.

I love milk. I guzzle it like crazy.

Mini minions or typo, you decide.

*tosses arm around shoulders* "I don't think I have it in me to try anyway." *smiles at affection, tucks Nine's head against him with his chin*

Well I took my spot back, I regret nothing.

Milk after cereal is the best. My ma won't even put milk on her cereal, she uses water. bleh.

Nine may have the skull mask+candles optional, from now on. Laughing out loud He could use more head accessories. <3

I've been waiting for them, didn't even realize that invisible spot was there until I saw someone else grab them. I do love the skull, but miss the forest mask moo.

Nine's so teeny and adorable in his skull+candles.

I love the forest mask mooo~

I love the forest mask mooo~ pfff, I wanna dress up as minidhuddy again, omg.

The beluga moo is epic as well. I wish I had seen it. =(

They don't deserve your peanuts. Even though they came back sooner than usual. Typically takes two hours for it to return.

I like.. the mini. I dunno

I dunno what my favorite moo is, but I can't stand the realdeer mask's.. it's horrid argh.

The mini moo is adorable, sounds like a little man complex. " I AM Big!'
The real deer is fine if there is only one per group, once you have a whole bunch of them together, it's like a herd of disgruntled cows.

NOMNOMNOM
(Cheers on net..)

Guh, I know, I can't get

Guh, I know, I can't get enough of it. XD Little man complex pretty much sums up the personality of my first minideer, too.. hehehe..
As overused as it is, I also love the skull mask's moo.. and BZD's roar is epic.

Nine would be stained blue. :| He'd probably roll in them just as much as he would eat them.

I fell in love with the skull when I first saw it, couldn't wait until Halloween came around again. Don't care if everyone and their mother have it. BZD roar="Beware my power."

I think a B-A-T-H is in order after this.

Net might die, heard someone moving about D:

Agh, yes. This takes me back to my first day in the forest.. *ramblerambleramble*

Im my day...

Dhud doesn't really like them, even though he submerges himself in water. Maybe it's the soap.
Have to force him into it. He doesn't like messing with his hair because of his feathery friends. *has picture idea*

Ohsnap. Don't raid the

Ohsnap. Don't raid the fridge, please~

*recites lengthy and boring anecdotes about fleeting youth*

Nine doesn't like soap with a bunch of chemicals in it. Shocked GOAT MILK! And flowers and.. stuff. His soaps are probably edible(which, knowing him.. is no surprise.)
Force? :c How about coax? Considerate Dhuddy is considerate~

dotell~

*steal chickens* *rocks

*steal chickens*
*rocks quietly in rocking chair*

I think Nine has a cast iron stomach.
Dhuddy is considerate when he wants to be, mostly when it's concerning Nine. I could bribe him? He might be cajoled into paddling around in clean water but not washing his hair unless you flush out the birds. He's not stinky so much as dirty, pond muck and mushed berries. *steals Nine's soap*

(Thinking of doing an after bath picture, complete with freshly washed poofy hair)

As long as it isn't my

As long as it isn't my Sullivan..

I have trouble picturing Nine older. :/ Maybe, if he sticks around, he'll age with me, I dunno. I have trouble drawing mature characters, anyway. *fail*

You can't tell me pond muck isn't stinky. :|
How on earth do you bribe Dhuddy, anyway?
(I'd scrub him! BETWEEN THE TOES!)
._.! .. *without soap*

I would pay to see that. XD PUFFPUFF! 8D

Of course not. *shifty

Of course not. *shifty eyes*

Tis magic forest, here we are immortal *flexes power* *poof*

Perhaps muck was the wrong word, not that rotten plant material that ferments at the bottom ...he just smells like old wet dirt and berries...Ok, not THAT stinky, but a wee bit..musky, outdoorsy. I think his currency lies in booze and Nine-time. *arms self with scrub brush* (Nine probably doesn't want the soap back.)

*swipes at creator*

It shall be so. Mua-ha.

... he likes his comb

... he likes his comb stroked. :c

Actually, you're right.. XD

I like musky. :B
*stuff protestant Nine in a box until bathtime is over?* He can make new soap.. he probably has stashes somewhere, he's weird..

But I'm poor. :c
(Saturday I'm going to try and hold a coin-toss to see who won the staring contest. If Wes loses, Scythe will announce it.. and he'll wear the peacock pelt for a week. If Nine loses, he goes without mushrooms for a week.)

Fiiiine. *hands over Sullivan* I can't have nothing!

Well he'll just be a little less potent in odor. Smell piney fresh.
*forcing hissing, clawing Dhud into a tub*

You don't have to pay *smush*
(Withdrawwwwl!)

*offers bebe chikken*

*offers bebe chikken* <3

*ponders what Nine smells like*
Oh. Goat milk and flowers, when he doesn't smell of Bylah(which lingers, really. death and fire, brimstone..)
Pinesol.. ? XD
We might need to muzzle him..

Ffffff ; ; <3 *love*
(He's likely gone that long without them, before, thanks to Bylah's dislike of Nine's mental state when he eats them.. but it might not be pretty. Not sure, yet.. *yawn* Too tired to think on it much.)

More tree, less chemical. Still mostly soil smell.
And you say pond crap stinks...

Poor thing.

(Dhud will be there. Until Nine gets sick of his motherhenning.)

When it grows.. it'll be

When it grows.. it'll be bigger than his head..

Mmm. c:
Yeaaaahhh.. Bylah-stink.. hahaha.. uhm. XD It's pretty bad? He won't be close to him for 9 more days, maybe enough time for it to fade a bit.. with a few washings..

(Nine may never get sick of it, he loves it. X3)

Not sure if I'm tracking, but might as well due to Jettem's obssesive nature in keeping Nine's coat clean and spotless, unlike Bylah. She must know when Nine is now on, to clean off what debris Bylah leaves behind.
