-Build and size of a springbok (Around size 3)
-Antlers of a Chital also known as an Axis deer

-Part of earth elements & flesh & blood
-build is like a springbok
-antlers are those of a chital
-illogical fear of leaving crying idol/pond
-Posses a length of string with a blue stone on it. The stone looks like it's made out of water as it swirls about but keeps its shape. Given to him by Junalia, wears it constantly around its neck and will never be seen without it. Necklace also holds a orange/buff feather from Akhenton and a few blue feathers from Kettu.
-If you see him at the twins he is ooc, I'm trying to get his pelt but acting like how he probably would. Please cast the devout pelt on him, my timing sucks ;;

Origin
Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.
--Theodore Roethke
The Twin Gods had been searching for something, something important. Something that would become them, spread their reaches further into the forest. Reveal the secrets like twisted roots sent deep underground and send them sprouting up fresh through new eyes. But who? Who would perpetuate the forest, make it better? Who indeed could see the leaves plump and full off sunlight? Who would rustle the bare branches in winter - or see too it that the forest creatures were taken care of?
After searching far and wide across their land, they scrabbled in the darkest places. Deep down under where the light never reaches and tomorrow never comes. They dredged the pond, sifting through old bones of those who'd given themselves willing or not. When they dug the dirt of the church yard and came up empty handed they cast their reach further. Stretched it beyond the borders. Always reaching. Always searching.
And then, when it seemed that the guardian must come from their own power, they found it. A soul so worn away it was only a flicker. And yet, somehow.... somehow it burned brighter then everything, brighter then anything. A desire to live, to please, to grow, to love and most of all....to mean something. A desire to leave a bit of it's own light on every one it touched. To keep them burning as bright as it did once. Oh how it longed for that. The Twins looked at each other and in the split second their eyes met they knew. They knew and they agreed.
And so a new light was brought into the forest. Shaped and spun from the leafy trees themselves. Molded by the smooth hands of water, dried from the hot breath of the untouched sun. Birthed from the stone that had born the tears of some old forgotten sorrow it finally came to be.

Links
If it weren't for the rocks in its bed, the stream would have no song.
--Carl Perkins
When a link is established the picto of a deer will appear engraved on his side. How long it takes to establish a link varies and in some cases those links fade.
Gotta re-write everything ahhhhhhhhh
Kettu (Little Fox): Complicated. A source of intense worry, fear and guilt. Loves deeply even so. Has disappeared suddenly a few times, lives in fear that one day she will not return. Inwardly quite jealous of her and the family that she's managed to find, worries about being replaced. Feels that it has failed her to a great extent. Completely lost without, she's its light in the dark. Beyond terrified of seeing her again and letting her see what he is now, also terrified by the fact the fox may not allow it back into her life after what its done. Pines for, misses a great deal. Holds a quiet belief that she's better off without it tying her down. Sunshine. gotta rewrite
Possible new songs: Chains - Radical Face, Reminder - Mumford & Sons, Ghost Towns - Radical Face, I Was Wrong - Oh Hellos
Akhenaton (The Bird): One of the few recurring faces in the Idol Spirit's life. A teacher and a listener, can tell him all its problems and be reassured. At one time thought that the bird might have been right saying that Ird had a purpose and was needed. Now quietly disagrees with what had been said. Sheltering wings, safety. Treasures their encounters. Scarce now. Gone? rewrite aaah
Odu (Tree): Has only meet once through Lilith but immediately felt an unbreakable connection towards. He's just like it, a being that carries many of the traits the Idol Spirit does. Represents a hope that there is something more that Ird can become. Admires. A bit envious of his size and apparent powers. Was approaching the point of regrowth when Ird met him, has since disappeared. Extremely worried about. Unaware of his 'rebirth'.
Lilith (Lil): Complicated. Initially started of on rocky grounds, namely because the blue giant disliked it. After numerous life-shaking events happened to both of them found common ground. Always liked, looks up to. Admired. Knows she's really actually pretty nice under all her coldness. Welcome source of company, can talk to her when no one else is around. Scared about her seeing it like this. rewriteeee
Possible songs: Touch - Sleeping At Last, Second Chances - Radical Face
Pretty Boy: Encountered when the small soul when he was first placed in the Forest by The Twins, coaxed the little thing out of some ferns and sat with. Met again sometime later when the fawn had grown to an adolescent. Adored the fellow but felt a high degree of jealously and internal bitterness towards too. Ird believes that he is its replacement, also thinks that this is for the best too. Gone.
Bo (The Angel): An angel of a different God, found her to be a kind and interesting being. Once felt a great deal of pity towards and anger against those that had burned her wings. Now holds a great bitterness towards, thinks she flew away and went back home. Envious at her ability to just leave whenever she wants to and resentful of the bond that her and the Twins seemed to share. Gone.
Yara (The Butter): Liked a great deal, found immeasurable similarities between them despite only meeting her twice. Thought that they'd finally found some one that wouldn't throw it away in the end. To a slight degree feels betrayed by, promised she'd visit and teach it to read. Never did. Gone. Missed. rewrite ahhh
Possible songs: Alone Together - FOB, Friendship To Last - Two Steps From Hell
Sen: ?? IDK ABOUT YOU????? - gotta sorta rewrite
Vahni
Nilo
Caldia
Eloa
"Hommy"
Junalia (Smush Face): Junalia (Smush Face): Was once part of Ird's everything. Loved so much, cute chatterer. Was learning how to talk, first being to stay in its life longer than a day. Gentle and small. Saved from drowning once. Disappeared without warning after a conflict between her and some other individuals. Finally stopped waiting for her when showed up out of the blue again one day, was beyond scared of her for reasons it didn't completely know. Was told what had transpired in the time she was gone and then she promptly vanished again. Undoubtedly feels cheated out of the opportunity to watch her grow up and change. Heartache, bitterness, anger. Gone. Left a hole. Mourns.

Posses the blind
unwavering trust
of a child for those
that treat it well., Curiosity
-Was intended to become a caretaker of the forest and to give the twins a visible indicator of how their forest was doing. Unfortunately Ird became completely terrified to journey beyond the pond and has never once set foot in any part of the forest except the Old Oak. This has severely impacted the amount it can do for the forest. The twins are starting to accept this.
-Self confidence is non existent, this shows through when ever the Idol spirit talks about itself or when it can not protect someone. Firm belief that it is a "bad seed" that comes from the past.
-Suffers from SAD (Separation Anxiety Disorder). Currently only seems to affect those that Ird rarely sees and cannot be counted on to return again. Experiences an array of symptoms including physical complaints. Maybe one of the reasons it refuses to leave the pond.
- Smarter than it looks and acts. May not understand everything but has a good perspective of the world and isn't afraid to use the knowledge it posses. Often surprisingly philosophical and word wise if gotten to calm down and concentrate
-Can tell when the feelings of those around him are forced. Dislikes people covering up their problems because they think it can not handle them. Surprisingly adept at finding fake smiles.
-Loves quickly and with absolutely everything it has. Even when they don't get any love back. Will give and give and give until there is nothing else.
-Skin cracks easily, more so when extremely upset. The grass and moss on its skin will wilt and turn brown when this happens. Likely to lose its flowers in these instances as well. Blood trails dry up in cases of extreme sadness, can not see very well at all until blood trails are restored by happiness.
-When startled will spit out great quantities of blood at attackers. Has the aim and accuracy of a lama, will aim for the eyes and face

It loves her.

Come here muse, we won't hurt you. I can give you cookies. Wait.. do you even have a mouth?
Ohhh. Who met Ird...Akhen
Sure! I got to warn you
For Christmas, Junalia gives
"Oh! Is a that for me? Oh!
Aww, that is so cute! Thank-you so much, this was really thoughtful! You just made both of our days! Merry Christmas!
Aha, it's all good(Zash is
Ird will do what ever Ird's
I'll come up with a start
Oh goodness! This will indeed
Was going to start this
Akhenaton shivered and tried to retract his head farther into his fluff. It didn't matter how much fluff he had, he was still horribly cold. It didn't help that he was standing in a few inches of the freezing pond water, surrounded by muddy slush that had once been a good foot or so of snow. He shifted, twitching his wings as he reached down to take another sip of water. He wished in that moment that he didn't need to drink so much water all the time, that he could just burrow away for the winter months and sleep out the cold.
He shook his head, half to get away the droplets of water that soaked into his fur and half to chase away such stupid wishes. This was now and this was the hand he was given. He'd just have to deal with it. Taking a few more quick sips, the owl stag trotted his way onto the bank and took a few moments to preen his feathers and steal a few weak rays of sunlight that filtered down through the trees. He barely felt any of it from the cold he was suffering from, but he hoped he would. He desperately wanted to feel the warmth of the sun.
Every single shred of
It sat there in the mud, unhappy that the frog had left. With a huff it glanced around the pond expecting it to be just as empty as it usually was. But wait, what was that thing drinking water over there? Curiosity took over sadness on the face as it crept closer to the other, slinking low to avoid attention. It skittered behind the big bird thing as it climbed to the bank. Puzzled Ird watched the bird stag nibble its self. Why do that? Unable to keep secret much longer it popped up and closed the distance between them. "Is you a bird? Yous very fluffy, Ird wishes Ird could be so fluffy and majesik. You have hooves? What you do'n? Youse nibbling self. I'm Ird." It paused for breath and countinued. "Ird seen you fore ya know? Up by the crying stone. You don look very happiny. You cold or what? Ird don't - doesn't get cold."
----
Yep, Ird has decided to be talkative.
Alarm had shot through him at
"Yes, I get cold..." He trailed off for a moment, tucking his wing back into place at his side, "You're lucky that you don't feel it."
--
Heehee, it's so cute. I have a critter kind of close to him...it, but s/he doesn't really speak. Just coos and doesn't know a thing about personal space. Don't play her much. She's sort of a fun character.
It thought it had startled
--
It is! Ird doesn't really get personal space either, maybe they could met one day? Fun characters are the best.
Akhen felt himself grimacing
"But at least you can focus on just having fun, right?" he added with a weak smile.
--
Maybe! That'd be really cute. They look a lot alike in game. Here she is.
It nodded happily.
--
They would get along great! She has a very interesting concept, the walking garden. That would look amazing in real life! Can you imagine?
It would! I've been trying to
"That's okay...you're never alone for long, right?" Akhen commented softly, glancing down at the strange little hopping thing. Ird certainly had a lot of energy. Such an excitable little thing...he shifted his weight and flicked his wings, horribly aware of the cold and his growing frustration with it. "Sometimes its a nice thing to meet new faces."
It focused on its little
That will be a great interaction!
"If you're ever alone and you
"NO. No, no, no Ird not
Akhen felt himself pity the
"T-thank you, Ird..." he murmured, reaching down to nuzzle the top of its head. "How do you keep so warm...?"
It popped and clicked
Akhen kept his head low to
"Certainly does! Even the
"Yes," he agreed, only to
"Akhen....what name mean?
Akhen just stared at them,
(I actually have no real clue
"Ird - lir - vir - is - e -song, Irdlirvirisissong." It carefully produced, knowing that Akhen probably still couldn't make heads nor tails of it. Most couldn't. "Just call me Ird Akhen - Akhenaton. Tis easier ya?"
(Ahaha, that's what I do with
"Ird-lir-vir-is-e-song." he repeated, an amused and perplexed expression on his face, "Yes...I'll just stick with Ird. That is much easier to understand..." He did try and managed to repeat it once, though, right? That counted for something.
