Out of game appearance: Hoshidu is a somewhat slender stag, surprisingly stocky for his build. He possesses a fine layer of fur throughout much of his body, with large clumps of fluff on his neck, back of his legs, and hindquarters. When happy or angered, this hindquarter fur fluffs out- much to his embarrassment. Most of his fur is a light brown color. His muzzle, bottom face, neck, and underside is a cream color, with fawn like spots on his hind quarters. His eyes are a soft blue green color.

Hoshidu`s antlers are much like the Venetian Carinval Antlers, minus the feathers. They aren`t the largest around by far, but they can inflict a few decent cuts if needed. He is likely to lash out with his legs, which are capable of leaving some good brusing. All in all, though, Hoshidu isn`t much of a fighter.

Personality

A quiet, reserved stag, Hoshidu is more likely to sit back and watch the show then be the center of attention. He`s skittish and he knows it; he gets uncomfortable in closed spaces and big crowds. True to his species, he prefers to live at the edge of the forest; a place with trees, but with a open space nearby. One of his more seemingly trivial aspects is his "crippling fear" is fawns. In actuality, he is more unsure than terrified of them. He kind of like the awkward guy, not really knowing how to handle them. If approached by a fawn, he is likely to freeze up, or bow in the hopes of appeasing it. Huge crowds of fawns will probably cause him to scream and run away. Literally. He wishes to get over it one day, as he is secretly amused by the antics of these little cuties. He is more likely to get to know a quiet fawn like himself.

He has a scar on his left hind leg, obtained before he came to the forest. He is extremely senstitive about this, and if questioned about it, he will likely throw a tantrum like a four year old (WHY DO YOU NEED TO KNOW/sob) Aside from his friends or himself being attacked, this is probably the only thing that will cause him to charge you. Or just insult you and walk away like the awesome guy he is he wishes

Hoshidu isn`t always the most pleasant company at first; he gets annoyed easy, and has a bit of that "Just leave meh alone pleaz" attitude. If annoyed, he`ll probably just get up and walk away. Deep down, he`s just afraid of making a bad impression, and doesn`t want to risk it. But good luck getting him to tell ya that XD He isn`t too much of a fighter, likely more to just sit there and threaten death upon you than get up and hurt you.

Hoshidu tends to be awkward around just about everyone; he`s a clutz. Upon meeting a new deer, he will likely bow or just nod in greeting. He`ll probably just follow anyone he knows around as so not to appear a total loser. He`s a loner, though he wants to change that sometime- that is, if he could get over his fear of almost everything.

He tends to get a bit nervous around other stags, but will likely become friendly as long as they don`t chase him to the second coming. Large stags with huge antlers will probably take a bit longer to become used to; he`ll likely be glancing over his shouder to make sure you aren`t getting ready to kill him. Around does, he`ll probably be a bit more lax, although awkward because he`ll be trying not to say something stupid. Antlered does will probably frighten him, though he also won`t admit this.

When around true friends, however, his personality changes quite a lot. He still retains that quiet, calm, and somewhat irratable attitude, but his friends are the most important things to him. He will go out of his way just to seek them out. At first, it might just be for his own benefit, so that he doesn`t look like that creepy loner. However, he truly cares for the ones that have shown him kindness. He never forgets about the ones he meets. He tends to be quite clingy, and knows it. He`ll cuddle with anyone, really, and is more likely to do so then romp around mawing.

All in all, Hoshidu is a stag with faults that he accepts. He`s quite the insecure one, mostly because of his past and his appearent inability to make friends. He secretly hopes that one day, others might get to know him for whom he truly is, and dreams of the day when he might get to make that happen.

History

Born a Columbian Black-tail Deer, Hoshidu lived in a small herd somewhere in California. His early life wasn`t anything too special; he was born and raised like every other fawn in his herd. As he became older, however, life started to change. His herd was saught after by hunters, his species popular in the realms of hunting. Deer started to die, and the herd became impossibly smaller. Soon, only a small group was left. Life became extremely difficult, with tension anywhere. The herd lived with the knowledge that you could wake up in the morning and not be there by sundown.

When the lead male of the herd was shot and brutally killed, the herd went into complete disarray. Normally, the lead male would choose the next heir to the herd once he died, but because his death was so sudden, he had had no time. Stags constantly fought each other for dominance, resulting in bloody and horrendus injuries. When a doe was accidently killed trying to stop a fight between her mate and another stag, the panic level reached its boiling point. The does mate became delirous, lashing out at the rest of the herd. When Hoshidu tried to calm down the stag, who happened to be a close friend of his, the mad stag responded by charging him, leaving him with a scar on his leg. Panicked, the herd dispersed, the injuired Hoshidu included. The exhaused stag, his mind shattered with the events of that day, fled the forest with the knowledge that he would likely never see his herd again.

After an unknown amount of time, Hoshidu came to a strange new forest. It wasn`t quite like any he`d ever seen, with strange and curious occurences everywhere. Though a bit unsure, the absence of humans from this realm comforted him, and he decided to stay for the time being. He still remembers his past, and is quite senstitive about it.
