calm. Annoyed at the rain. Has episodes where he's frantic, lost and panicking, then will settle down again.

quiet. Frantic episodes

"Why..."
I want to go back to the desert. So I can complain about the sun.

Returned to the forest to find it...raining. Grumbled at it, but was too lazy to find cover, plopped down in front of the stream.

Resting in game. Made note of a fawn (owl pelt beluga antlers owl mask) who joined him. Eyed the fawn in suspicion and fear at first...cause... did he have to watch it??? But then calmed down.

Returned to the forest after a fruitless day and night. Mildly irritated at his inability to find things. But brought biscotti. Split it with Val, and munched in silence for a while.
Met Val. Chilled and chatted with him by the stream. Enjoyed his company, was gifted with a flower crown of poppies that he sports everywhere now. Bear with me; need to redo this css.

Woke up in the same flower patch. Wandered at random. Found an antlered doe (Naoki) so sniffed and bowed, and when that offered no acknowledgment, crept his way closer to settle near-ish to her. Ended up striking up a conversation with her, and utterly thrilled that he did as he found another conversationalist.

~Woke up to the snow no longer falling. Hunkered down in a flower patch to stare blankly at the butterflies.
~Still snowing, so sort of wandered around in it and begrudgingly accepted it was kind of sort of pretty. Ok, snow?! Happy now?!
Met a gray and white doe by the name of Nemesis, and tried to engage her in conversation- even if it was idle chatter. Focused on safe things, weather and the like, but seemed to hit a vein toward the ends of their conversation when she was rescued by another friend (Anker). Shook it off and happily greeted him too, and cheerfully offered a goodbye when the pair left a few minutes later. Fought off his demons by thinking to himself he might have made new friends, making note of them to seek them out the next time he wandered through. Returned to the human world to nurse his chronic loneliness.


Returned to the Forest to find it snowing and... foggy. Alright. Wandered aimlessly until he found a doe sitting by herself (Shaila) and decided to join her.

Broke away from a recovering Notus to come into the forest. Found a spot to flop himself into ferns and stare blankly at the empty space around him. Tired of holding up a façade of pretending, knowing Not was seeing through him and subsequently upsetting him in that way too.


Succeeded in going from happy and content to making himself miserable in the matter of weeks. Listless, quiet and blank.

Lately hasn't been doing too much. Hanging with friends and going back and forth between the forest and the human world.

Woke up in the forest after spending sometime away doing other things. Woke up cuddled next to a sleeper (Z'ev) so kind of... disentangled himself, sniffed them, and wandered off. Sought out familiar scents from meeting at the Rut, but couldn't decipher them from the mass of inhabitants out and about today. So settled under an overhang with a doe (Sevou). Finding he doesn't like fog mixed with small snow flurries. Or fog at all. Snow is better.
Today: AFK. Got to see the tail end of a fight between Matt and some koi pelted char, decided to remain neutral since he didn't get to see the whole thing. Situated himself in a flower patch on the fringes while player finishes up some work.
Yesterday: Yay I got the game to connect. AFK for a while. Went to sleep and woke up to the rain, stared around for a bit, completely perplexed and wandered over to the fringes of a massive group. Was absorbed into massive group by Kari (sorry Player was spacing out) and happily dragged his butt over to watch the shenanigans. In the immediate company of Kari and Sasuda.
Yesterday: Chilled with a group after wandering around alone. Was given attention by someone player couldn't find so just has to assume wasn't in the event, sorry Rid. Group had Arcturus and a ton of others, like Doitsu and...god...too many. Couldn't stay long though cause Player didn't feel well.

Earlier: Woke up in the forest to amble his way over to Fletcher (still doesn't know him by name just as the Baby-Hat Guy) and is currently chilling with him for a bit (while player does stuff). Fell asleep and woke up later to Fletcher beside him again. Wandered away to stretch his legs and scope out other groups of deer, none of which caught his interest or flagged him down, or got up, so...returned to Fletcher. Joined by another judge. Actually spoke to the male after a bit, learned his name. Idle conversation.

- Starting to branch out more and more since getting his bearings several months before.
-Discovered E was turning into a tree. Hasn't really gone back to visit her or see the outcome. Not too sure what he should feel about the whole thing. Kind of weird. Kind of what he's come to expect from her.

Riddick is a somewhat short- by forest standards- buck that is completely covered in shaggy brown fur. It has various brown notes and red tones within. It has a wave to it, in that it'll stick out all over his neck and shoulders, and down the spine. Like rusa unicolor he has cheek fluff and brown doe eyes with human pupils. He has small gray horns that curve first outward and back in. His tail is much like R. unicolor as well. He has two necklaces, one that is a round silver compass on a simple chain and the second is a small glowing charm, gifted to him by Eloa. His hooves are dark gray as is his nose. Sports a poppy crown.









Persona


• A 'go with the flow' personality type. Doesn't get riled or thrown off by unexpected circumstances too often. The type that is quick to meet anything with a smile.

• Doesn't like to linger on negativity in company, nor does he like to subject those he's with to negativity- especially his. Feels it's his job to keep them smiling or to maintain an "everything's fine" image while in his company. Self sacrificing, in that sense.

• Quick to form bonds (no matter how one sided) with others or show an interest in maintaining a friendship. Just as easily be hurt when others don't reciprocate. Can form crushes on others just as quickly and easily. However, has a fear of commitment and an even greater fear of raising children.

• He exists in layers and false faces. Maintains one for the sake those he doesn't know well, lets it slide away for others he holds closer to his heart. Can and does do things others wouldn't expect of him, especially for the sake of someone he holds dear.

• Far sighted. Tends to squint at things up close or take a step back.

• Mostly has his scruples in order.

• Meet him to get a sense of how he is.

Owns.

From Anna- Question Things once I remember them.






Heart

⚙ ⚙ ⚙

Close
Notus *- Good friend. Brother figure. Heartache. Clicked with the other near immediately and followed him around like a lost puppy for the first several months of his rebirth. Developed a crush on, but was turned down some weeks before after finally finding the nerve to say so. Initially angry at, then it simmered down into pain that turned into rage at himself, and now at acceptance- and actively avoiding the boy helps a little. Still loves, but holds at a distance.

Anna- Good friend. Started out as a girl he merely wanted to help, ended up letting her essentially move in. Kind of made things worse by getting her pregnant... now doesn't really know what to do around her. Holds her as a good friend, pretty much wrapped around her little finger and will drop just about everything to get what she needs. Putting a lot of pressure on the unborn child, just as she is, to gain some sort of unconditional love. Though terrified of the child all the same. Near convinced himself that he doesn't love her, that he's not good enough for her, basically repeating what was said to him by Notus.

Vaelanu- At first had no interest in getting to know the faerie or being around her, and now finds himself overly protective of her and her well being. Doesn't so much see her as a friend as he sees her as someone who needs to be protected and taken care of- namely by him. Didn't exactly fall into that role willingly, but does the best he can.

Positive
Eloa - Good Friend. Proved it by showing up, months later, with an intention of being with him during a difficult time. reworking...
Achilles- Father figure. The father of Notus and Nilo (isn't aware of the rest of family) and because of that finds himself extremely intimidated by. Likes the guy despite that, sees him as almost like a mentor or the parent he never really had. Tries to do what he can to stay on good terms with.
Sol- Good Friend. reworking...
Lilith- One of the first he met in the forest, right around when he was wobbling around in a daze. Enjoys her company despite only meeting her once.
Val- New friend. Met a couple of times, found him easy to talk with and adorable all the same. Was given a poppy crown that he now sports everywhere in his deer form. Looks forward to seeing whenever he crosses his path. Fears he's too plain, too boring for the buck to waste his time with, though. Either way enjoys Val's company and conversations.

Quotes
"Failure doesn’t define you. It’s what you do after you fail that determines whether you are a leader or a waste of perfectly good air.”

"It takes only a split second for life to go horribly wrong. To fix the mess, I need a thousand things to go right. The distance from one bit of luck to the next feels as great as the distance across oceans. But, I decide in this moment, I will bridge that distance, again and again, until I win. I will not fail."
