Art: ...
» A learned skeptic, he is suspicious of most, perhaps to the point of paranoia.

» Cold exterior can come across as rude or uncaring.

» Cannot turn away from a young child, despite how indifferent he may appear.

» Favors a solitary lifestyle, but understands the need for social interactions.

» Does not mingle well with unfamiliar males.

» Isn't usually one to engage in play, requires coaxing. Roughhousing, however, is something he enjoys.

» Trust is earned, not given.

» Rarely speaks, preferring communication through body language.

» Doesn't typically bow, greeting is done by sniffing.

Personality ...

To the outside world, he is nothing but a shell. His indifference is chilling and the reflectiveness of his eyes gives no solace to his, at times, hollow words. It isn't intentional, his cold ways of moving about the world, and yet with every hope of becoming something normal, he forever falls short and is lost in his own drowning pool of sorrow and misery. There is something menacing to him, this broken Adonis. He is, after all, but a stranger wandering in this murky world. He remains reserved, and tied away from the social conformity that dictates friendliness; it is to protect him. It isn’t because he holds hate for the world and those in it. It isn’t to keep love and friendship at arm’s length purposefully, that is merely a pitfall of his ways.

He is extremely guarded and not especially approachable or friendly. Polite enough, but he does not go out of his way to be gregarious, he finds social banter frivolous and rarely is an active participant in such. Upon first meetings, he leaves an impression of a cold and surmising individual; quiet, maybe withdrawn, his silence is almost judgmental.

That pic... *A* Excuse me

That pic... *A* Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor.

Yuri trotted quickly and

Yuri trotted quickly and gracefully threw the trees her mind set on getting to one place. She caught sight of the large stag sitting not too far off. The golden doe bounded forward a small smile tugging at her mouth. "Mor-i-kiah~" She chirped, her voice light and soft as she plopped down next to him. She had come to check up on him, to see if he was doing any better than how he was yesterday. "How are you?" She asked.

The large stag had originally

The large stag had originally come to this area to visit with Illrose, and perhaps attempt to console her as best he could. However, his plan was thwarted on his approach as he caught sight of the pair that had largely been a source of grief for the past day or so. Choosing to keep his distance, he sat himself beside a large tree. It was not long after that Yuri, the small doe that had been hanging around him for the last few days, appeared and seated herself beside him. "Hello Yuri." He paused. "I'm alright, I suppose. Getting better."

She nodded and smiled at what

She nodded and smiled at what he said. That was good to hear. She didn't want him getting worse. "Good to hear. I think everyone that was worried will be glad to hear that. You look better too." Her attention moved quickly to the deer not far from them though. Her ears swiveling in their direction and her face growing interested. "Clovers are the best to eat when trying to get your strength back I think." She told him softly her attention still on the deer. She looked at Morikiah and asked "Morikiah.... What happened over there? Something.... Something doesn't feel right over there." her voice just barely trailed over a whisper.

"Heh, I don't think there

"Heh, I don't think there were many that were too concerned." He chuckled lightly. It was true, he believed that most who knew of him only wanted him dead. He followed her eyes to the group that were gathered around a raised mound of soil. "I have been eating them, among other things." His eyes settled on the group, prying through it the mound laden with poppies and other adorning flowers that other deer had left in memorization. "A young stag died there last night, of an illness, I believe."

Her body grew stiff at the

Her body grew stiff at the mention of death and her ears laid flat against her skull. Her eyes finally moved to the mound of dirt and flowers and she caught her breath. She didn't speak only sat and watched te mourning deer. Her mind wandered back to the fuzzy parts of her mind. Places of her mind where she couldnt remember things. She turned then as a breeze shifted the flowers. She looked at the blades of wilted grass infront of her. "That's terrible." She said softly before shaking her fur out.

The red bull made his way to

The red bull made his way to the younger stag having heard all the commotion. He had made his demands that Morikiah calm himself and once he was able to get close enough he rubbed his chin along the other stag's spine, nudged his neck, rumbled deep in his throat that was meant to sooth and calm. They stood in silence for a time but finally the bull spoke. Perhaps Gustiro was becoming accustomed to speaking though it did not come to him any easier.
"Is like two fools, yes? Is doe like lure. Is bitter taste coat in white powder... is, sugar, yes? Is only make stomach ache in find core." He paused a moment to groom a particularly shaggy spot along Morikiah's shoulder. Satisfied he continued. "Is no blind. Is see boy go to doe." He saw how Morikiah had gone eagerly to Sianna. He had saw how she rejected him. "Is no good, Mori'. Yes? That one is like... how say... Needle in thorns. Is no good."

There were few that could

There were few that could calm the anger that tossed, turned, and broiled within the orange stag once he had been set off; and it was one of those few that quickly found him after Sianna had thrown her pain rendering accusations at him. Through some coaxing, the red stag had been able to subdue the rage that had been quickly bubbling over, and was now acting as a comforting presence. "She makes me sick sometimes. How dare she accuse me of something I never did." He mumbled to himself as the red bull rested his chin on Mori's spine. "Yes, she's a witch... I was just another of her toys." He turned himself, wrapping his own neck loosely around that of the red bull's.
Gustiro's picture

The bull returned the

The bull returned the gesture, shifting his weight so he could wrap his neck with Morikiah's. This was what he was supposed to do. Protect, comfort. Things he has been allowing to slip away from him but slowly this knowledge and understanding returns. And in a way comforting another soothed his own aches and pains. Some that were so very recent.
"Is no understand. Is know only is no good. No good for Mori', no good for Gus'." The bull sighs quietly as he rests his head lightly on the orange stag's shoulder. "Is good let go. Things get better when let go. In time. Understand?"

Hello, Faustt. I just want

Hello, Faustt. I just want ask to be sure. I remember time, when Morikiah and Saburo was a friends. At least Morikiah was a polite and always greeted him. I'm confused a lot, and don't understand what's happened. There is reason in my side, or this is so strange development of your character?
I just want to understand.

"He-hello...My name is...Natali....Your's is Mori right?" She shrank a little from the big stag,feeling shy.

Thank you Kaoori for this drawing!Natali looks beautiful =D

Tracking, unfortunatly the only way I can put comments on this bio is by responding to the last one so sorry about that.

Fikos very much enjoys Morikiah's company. (:

RiverCat: Sorry for his

RiverCat: Sorry for his behavior, Mori hasn't been himself. He's been going through a lot and that has been affecting his personality quite a bit. =/

BouncyDeer: Morikiah stared down at the small doe, his brow raising in question. "That's right." Feeling like he was rather intimidating, the stag settled, lying himself down instead of opting to stand over the little doe. "No need to be shy, come sit."

Kestrel: Mori adores Fikos c:

(: She tilted her head at

(:

She tilted her head at him from a distance. Just sitting there? Curiousity was eating her alive but she had always been told not to speak to a skull-faced deer. That had already cost her once anyways. Ears flicking, she took a few steps forward. She wasn't facing him head-on, more to his side, and was nervous about being disrespectful. She skittered around to face him from a distance away. Bowing respectfully in greeting, she took her chances. "My name is Fikos." "That's a stupid way to say hello." "Can I sit with you? You're sitting all alone and that's not good." She tried a smile, but it was a small one. Not talking to a skull-faced deer is one thing, asking to sit with one? She'd be in trouble for this.
Faustt's picture

A flicker of movement caught

A flicker of movement caught his eye as he rested on the forest floor. He moved his head slightly, taking notice of the small doe lingering not too far away. It humored him mildly to watch her skit around at a distance. He shifted his weight slightly as she bowed, introducing herself formally. Despite the previous night's events, he wasn't going to sour his mood towards her. Wearing a mask of contentment, the stag nodded to the small doe. "Of course, come sit." He paused several moments before introducing himself. "I'm Morikiah."

She sat down next to him

She sat down next to him cautiously,"Thanks...sorry I get really shy around stags..." She smiled,trying to hide her embarrassment.She cleared her throat,"Well Mori,that's a pretty name.How did you get it?I named myself since my parents left me..." A deep sadness crossed her face and she remembered her parents.

Thank you Kaoori for this drawing!Natali looks beautiful =D

Thank you for clearing this.

Thank you for clearing this. and he will be back somewear, or this is his constant behevior will be?
sorry if you not underastand what I write, lol xD

She smiled a whole this time.

She smiled a whole this time. It was all she could do to not spring to his side and snuggle affectionatly. Instead, she maintained composure, and seated herself a friendly distance away. "Morikiah..." She rolled the name around, a slight Columbian accent tipping off her words. "You know... She batted a heavily lashed eye at him, "I'm not supposed to speak to you, I'd be in trouble. A pause, then; "Why are you all alone?"
Faustt's picture

Kestrel: He chuffed, amused

Kestrel: He chuffed, amused by her jubilant smile. As she settled herself near him, he tilted his chin down, peering down softly at the small doe. He raised his brow inquisitively at her comment, "Oh? And why would you be in trouble, hmm?" His appearance betrayed his demeanor; although a monster at first glance, he was hardly one at heart. "I'm often alone. I just enjoy time away from all of the crowds."

BouncyDeer: The stag couldn't help but smile, amused by the awkwardness of the small doe. "Oh? I don't think your parents could have given you a prettier name." He nudged her shoulder gently. He didn't excel in the art of moral support for others, but that didn't stop him from trying.

RiverCat: Don't worry, he'll go back to his old self once things settle down in his life c:

She blushed and said a

She blushed and said a quick,"Thank you" Then was surprised when he nudged her shoulder.She took this as a sign of...trying to comfort her?She just blushed again and looked at the ground not really knowing what words to say.

Thank you Kaoori for this drawing!Natali looks beautiful =D

She met his question with a

She met his question with a confident "Well because.." But then scowled slightly. She didn't know why. She opened her mouth to try again, but was still baffled. She let ouf a small huff and scooted closer so as to lean on him while she immersed herself in thought. Why couldn't she talk to him? He didn't seem even the slightest bit aggitated or aggresive. Her thoughts flashed back to the day in the cave, catching her breath in her throat. "I guess I wouldn't be in trouble then.." It was almost a whisper now; "Just unpleasent encounters..." She shook her head of the flashbacks and pushed them aside. "Anyways, I can understand being away from crowds during the rut. Personally I just like one or two friends most often. But I sometimes sit alone too." She looked up from her spot snug into his side now at the unfamiliar features. The last "scary" deer she'd spent any time with had been horrific, but she was not one to judge.

"It is a pleasure to meet

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Morikiah. You are very kind, and I can certainly see why Xetkal looks up to you."
Faustt's picture

Kestrel: He raised his brow

Kestrel: He raised his brow inquisitively, gazing down at the small doe as she settled herself against his side with a huff. She seemed at a loss for words, and Morikiah could not help but chuckle lightly at her lack of words. His smile and humor quickly disappeared as she mentioned past encounters; who could bring harm to such a sweet little doe. "Am I like one of them? Your past encounters?" It was nothing new to him, for others to shy away from his mere appearance. He just hoped that this was not going to be like the others.

Lune: "Ah, but the pleasure is mine, miss. Xetkal is very dear to me, it is nice to see him sharing such pleasant company when I'm not around."

"Thank you, Morikiah. I enjoy

"Thank you, Morikiah. I enjoy his company very much. I...don't know what I would do without him."

Her ears flicked forward

Her ears flicked forward abruptly and her eyebrows raised when he asked if he was like the others. "Well of course not! If you were, I wouldn't be sitting here now, would i? She teased lightly. He looked scary, but he gave no signs of anger, aggression, or any sort of harmful manners directed at her. "And really only one encounter per-say, and I don't think circumstances could come again in a thousand years anyways." Smiling to reinforce her statement, she felt even better about her decision to break the non-exsistant rules. "You're not even that scary." She said, quieter, and slightly more to herself, but still confident.
Faustt's picture

He chuckled lightly at her

He chuckled lightly at her response, but it was her final few words that, though murmured, struck him the hardest. Not scary? That wasn't the impression he go from most deer, whom would only flee at the mere sight of him. "Hmm, I'm glad you think so." He paused a moment, switching the subject to a, hopefully, more desirable subject. "So, if I may ask, what circumstances did you meet this other deer under?"

She turned slightly

She turned slightly thoughtful. "Well, you seem smart so I'm sure you already know there are places outside out forest? Well I personally didn't know that until I woke up in one of these places. At first I thought it was home but it wasn't. So anyways, a big scary deer found me and took me to a cave, and then he kept me there for a long time, and he hardly fed me or anything," she paused, "This is when I was smaller, by the way. So anyways, didn't feed me and then if I'd do something he didn't like or try to get away I'd usually get hit with something for a punishment. Well one day he asked what my home was like and after I told him he wanted to come here so he sent me back and I think tried to send himself in too but I haven't seen him since. She looked up sheepishly at the length of her 'summary'. To go into detail would take hours. "But see you're not like him because he was really scary. He was way bigger than any deer I've seen, except maybe Gehirn, and his "tongue" was split in half, the top half was a needle with something in it that he killed things with by injecting it into them, and the other half was like a snake tongue. I was pretty sure he was gonna eat me." Again, sheepish, or maybe self-conscious; "That's why I look kinda sick. My ribs stick out and my back curls in the wrong shape." She hoped she hadn't spilled an uncomfortable amount of information, she didn't want to mess up a conversation.

So sorry for the incredibly

So sorry for the incredibly late reply >.<

Morikiah nodded thoughtfully at her question. Just look at him, he certainly hadn't made himself look like this; like a monster. The missing skin on his face, elbows, and hind leg, the protruding extensions of his vertebra from his back, his abnormal size, it was all done by humans in their selfish experiments to distort the natural world. He snorted at a mixture of that thought, and of the treatment Fikos had received from this deer she was speaking of. He gritted his teeth, sighing heavily. Gingerly, he lowered his head, gently nudging the small doe on the side of her neck. "Well, if you ever see him here, come find me, I'll protect you." It didn't matter what size this deer was; when it came to friends and loved ones, size didn't matter to Morikiah.

Uhm.
