I am extremely inclined to ask to be able to play this one.
I have a terrible love of music and already find myself thinking of a fitting personality, however, I would not want to take the chance from anyone else who might be interested.
So I'm going to wait and see if anyone else would like to give him a try before I officially offer.

After looking at both of the parents, Cell's description and Rev's biography, I've come back to write a short something for him.
I'm not sure if you have looks planned for him beyond the set and the colours, so I apologize if I took too many artistic liberties haha.

Know that I had much fun with this, quick though it was ♥ ( :

What is beauty?
The growth of a young sapling?
The first flight of a newborn bird?
Warm summer nights?

What makes these things beautiful?

The whistling of wind through leaves?
The first song of a spring finch?
The serenade of crickets?

Curving horns, the ridges, gone, unlike so many others, they were smooth as freshly blown glass, and gleamed like molten iron in the sun.
He was so proud of his horns.

Not because of their strength, for they were as brittle as the glass they resembled, and were not made for fighting---which he abhorred anyway.
No, he was proud of his horns, for when rubbed just the right way against the smooth bark of trees, they made a most wonderful sound, like a mixture between the song of a cello's strings and a just-tuned flute.

He was fond of his hooves as well, not because they were prettier than any other deer's, no, they were a rather plain black, not even very shiny.
But he knew his hooves, and he knew how to tap them just right upon the stones to make a sound like no other.

He was fond of his body.
Not because he was better looking than any other deer.
Not because it was strong, for he very often found himself ill and seemed to be forever with some small cold {Those who knew would call it 'asthma'} which made running for long periods or being active in the cold a chore.
No.

He was very much fond of his body, because with it, he could create music.
And it was in fact music, that he was most fond of about himself.

In his mind, there was no one without the other.

Ratta-tap-tap

A smile upon that not-better not-worse looking muzzle.

Ratta-tappity-tap.

Music.

Serendipity: Oh gosh, that was beautiful and very close to how I myself see him. I will give this a few more days and I will have to talk to Arri, but I definitely see potential here. I love how you visualized him and how he simply embodied music. &hearts

parler: Well, I would prefer the player to keep his name, but his design is almost entirely up to interpretation, aside from the few details that were specified above. I don't know if it is of any help, but here is a quick sketch of Cell that I (literally) just finished and here is one of my favorite pictures of Rev. (:

Thank you! He was wonderful to write for ♥
I look forward to seeing what becomes of him, no matter who gets him ( :

I have been asked to post responses to both of you, so I will do so. However, I will be succinct, and not mince my words. No sugar-coating here.

Serendipty:

I like the way you seem to have an affinity for poetry. There is very little that embodies Rev and his kin than music and flowery words. However, I will say that you need to rewrite it to reflect something a little more than a poetic talent.
What does he look like? Where did he come from? Why does he like music so much?
Also - focusing on the movement and grace of the character is enjoyable, but leave some room in your entry for something other than a poem.

Bottom Line: I like this - but there needs to be more information given about specific things. Try not to make the entire entry a song... I like parts of it like that, but try and intersperse some 'regular' actions as well.

This is mind, I'd like to see another entry from you, more focusing on actions rather than thoughts, and having to deal with setting up a concert for the Forest denizens, like his father used to do before he went to the human world. Paying special attention to movement and form of dance would be stellar, and using OVER-description is not a mark against.


Parler:

I dislike your entry for a few different reasons.
It was specified in the first post that the name and design would stay the same. The design, I don't mind you playing with, but not as much as you have. Granted, I understand that the coat color and pattern chosen is fairly 'dull' - but that's the point. I do not wish for the Argus pelt to be used, because there are deer in the forest that do NOT visit this site, and would have no idea Lyric was anywhere remotely related to Rev or Cell with the design you used.
[Scythe and I don't exactly agree on this, so I will refer to their better judgement - to a point. Editing the pelt design is alright WITHIN REASON]

The name of the deer itself is NOT going to change. Making 'Lyric' - the name Rev and Cell gave to their child - take a backseat in the character concept is not cool in my book. The name of the character will stay Lyric. No ifs, ands, or buts.

The focus on religion for this character is non-existent. Revtheyr would have raised him to respect the gods, but not to worship them. Due to multiple instances of being let down by said gods in the past, it is highly unlikely that he would do anything more than make a simple nod toward them every once in a while.

I cannot stress this enough: Punctuation, and Capitalization. I do not enjoy reading posts that don't have anything capitalized. It seems, to me, fairly lazy.

All this said, your writing style is remarkable, and your artist talent amazing. I would like to see if you could design him a human form - as well as write a new entry focusing around his arrival back into the forest - as he's been living with Cell and Rev for the better part of his childhood - out in the human world.
Try to keep in mind what I've said, though - and attempt to vary / change up sentence structure and weight.

okay, sorry.

i figured since that, if i got the character, he would be under my control when it came to the design. scythe said i could edit it, and so i did. i don't exactly see what that has to do with other deer not visiting the site, and since i don't know cell's design colors (because, like i did with the great argus pelt), i could not incorporate both of the parent's fur colors to make him resemble them. i was simply trying to make the design eye-catching, and tried to incorporate artsy details since he is a dancer.

when it comes to names, i personally don't like real words being used as names. it's weird to me, so i figured i'd give him a real name, and let lyirc be his title, and a name his parents called him. he could have changed his name later on down the road. to me, a character concept does not need a name to define it. also, since he would have a human form, a word name would seem extremely weird. i know there are children who are named after real words (apple, for instant), but it's not that common. i don't see why it is such a problem to change it to a nickname.

if religion was non-existent, than it would have been appreciated if you had mentioned that in the details, especially since he is a prophetic seer. i wasn't aware that his mother would have raised him to just respect them, and i was also not aware that he had been "let down" in the past by them. these details would have been important, in my opinion, but i will take out his religious details if it really bothers you that much.

i simply don't care to use proper grammar when i'm casually typing. i wanted to get the concept out in the open asap so that you and scythe could discuss it sooner, instead of taking forever to create simple, small details. this didn't seem like a neopets-type application with multiple, difficult rules (though proper grammar is not difficult for me), so i saw no reason to be strict with my grammar.

i'll try to write something up for his entry back into the forest, and come up with a human form. if you wanted people to come up with something similar to your ideas, you should have asked scythe to include them in the original post. it would have been helpful. you also didn't need to sound so harsh, even if you did not appreciate half of what i created. i understand where you're coming from (when it comes to character adoptions), but... seriously. :/ also, since this was a character concept, i was not inclined to write a full-blown personality, history, etc for him, so sentence structure was not a focus of mine.

but once again, sorry for not creating a character you expected. i'll work on him some more.

thank you. ♥ i feel like i need to explain why there's a lot of blue, so: i had added his blue hooves (to replace the blue of the horns with the great argus pelt), and felt like there needed to be more to balance it out. i'm willing to reduce the amount of blue, as i can see how it conflicts a little with his parents' designs. since it was mentioned he might be a prophetic seer, i figured he had a sense of speciality around him, and thought that the blue would visibly show that. i had been wanting to use the great argus pelt in-game, but if i were to adopt him, i'd stick with the real deer pelt if you guys wanted me to.

i will. (: it's fine, really. it just hurt a little, to be honest. it just made me feel like i had to say something about it. i don't have any questions/concerns at the moment, but if you yourself want to discuss something, my msn is

I still like the blue in his design in places. I apologize for not providing you guys with a color reference of Cell, but he essentially wears a subtly-stylized version of the kirin pelt. The five circle-scales underneath his eyes are blue like the larger scale on his shoulder. He has some additional blue accents elsewhere, but I have yet to finalize them myself. His fur could even be longer in places. It's silvery-white in color and soft like silk.

I'm babbling, but I do hope that you two are still interested. It would be nice to see Lyric in the forest some time soon and I would be happy to help in any way that I can.

Ah, that's quite all right, Serendipity. I personally still like what you initially wrote for him.

It seems like everyone's enthusiasm was cut down some a few posts ago, by a certain post... I hope that there is still interest in playing him.

I'm going to have to drop out of this one, I'm sorry again.
♥ good luck to whomever gets him
