A Tale of Deer.

OneDeer's picture
I realized that people are probably confused by the deer I've created so here's a quickie biography-type thing.


Information / Biographies:


{Listed in oldest-first order, don't be confused!}



#1. {Permanently Inactive}
The first deer is Bliss, also known as OneDeer or TwoEars. Originally he had a different picto but I changed it a little while after joining the forums. Bliss has no "character" besides my own personality in the forest, and was originally known only by his account names, at fist TwoEars and then OneDeer. For a time he was characterized as a "monk deer" and took a vow of silence for a month to aid in returning the forest to peacefulness. After the month had passed he returned to his previous lack of distinctly individual character/personality. As time passed I played less and less in the forest and eventually decided that I needed a new deer (perhaps with an actual personality) to re-ignite interest.

#2. {Permanently Inactive}
On the (belated) anniversary of Bliss's creation I made Mote as a re-born OneDeer. I intended to create a whole personality for this new fawn but lost interest and Mote only entered the forest once. ):

#3. {Permanently Inactive}
The creation of Obelisk was nearly an accident. I drew Her's deer Key on iScribble shortly after joining and decided that he needed a friend. I kept drawing Key and a purple/grey-blue deer with gazelle antlers and white socks that I decided to call Obelisk. I thought about creating a new account for this deer but settled on a pictogram I knew people would recognize, OneDeer's.
Obelisk, or Obe, is still being discovered and given a character so don't be surprised by erratic behavior. It seems that Obe enjoys back flips while dancing but sometimes is very serious and introverted. Obelisk's gender may be confusing but he is simply stag in a doe's body. Generally assumed to just be a very feminine looking stag, he likes to confuse others by acting more typically like one gender or the other or even neither.
Although I really enjoy Obe's character, I have found that it feels awkward to play as a character in the forest, and so the after hosting the Party for The Path on , Obe only exists outside the forest- a character for stories and art.

#4. {Permanently Inactive}
The idea of re-using Mote's picto and creating the fawn Soap Mote, also known as Mote or Soap, arose from a conversation with Her/Allice about Key, Her and Obe. I was unsure if I would actually play Soap or not but she is Obelisk's little sister and a forever-fawn. However Soap only entered the forest once as I forgot her account password for several months.
After finally getting back the password I started working on a character for her. I had an idea about a split-personality which would take advantage of her double-name and another idea which used a deathly illness to account to her absence in the forest. While I liked making up a back story I just wasn't playing her in the forest. Soap-Mote has become another inactive character.

#5. {Active}
Deer is me. For the most part Deer is only an expression of myself, and while that includes the characters I've made up in the past I have given up on trying to play as characters, I've discovered it's just not my style. Deer takes on characters occasionally, although this is rare, but don't be too surprised if you suddenly meet a Deer looking just like Bliss, Obe or Soap would.
Deer is a genderless who may often wear the Day of the (Dead) Deer mask & pelt or the Real Deer mask & pelt- antlers are anything that matches those sets- be it Butterfly, Candles, Gazelle or Peacock, he'll wear it if I like the look. Don't count on a particular set however, I will probably switch it up quite often depending on whatever makes me happy. You will have to look at Deer's separate bio to learn what set he is using.
Deer's name is based off of the account name he has shared with this predecessors Obe and Bliss.
I believe Deer has gotten me truly interested in the forest again, I made him his own profile, so this should be my very last update of this particular blog. See you in the forest!

Pelt/Antler/Mask Combination:


Because Obe & Soap are intended to be characters, it seems like they'll be in a certain combination of things most of the time, this is what they wear so far as I've thought about it.


Obelisk
-Pelt is grey. If I got to implement a pelt just for Obe it would have a white face & feet and a blue/purple/grey body. There are several pelts that don't quite fit the description but I have finally decided that the pelt of the Long Mask Set is best.
-Mask is none. I would like it if Obe had a plain white face. Perhaps he would sometimes wear the DOTD mask if he's feeling silly and festive.
-Antlers are antelope/gazelle, although I originally drew him with a second small prong halfway down the main antler branch there's no antlers like that in the game.
-Hair is light blue, and of course the deer don't have hair in-game, it's just fun to add that in in drawings.

Soap
-Pelt is brown, one of the fawn-only pelts, in particular the three brown ones, but they're all normally temporary, so it's usually just regular fawn pelt.
-Mask is none. Just like her big brother, SoapMote doesn't wear a mask.
-Antlers are purple flowers. Eventually they're gonna implement the blue berries as something to wear on the antlers and Soap will instantly switch over to that, but for now it's purple flowers. I always draw her with at least a sprig of a few blue dots tucked behind her ear.
-Hair is red, or strawberry blond? I'm not sure yet, I'll have to draw her more before I know for sure. I'm starting to think strawberry blond. And only in drawings of course.


Sightseeing & Screenshots:


I think I'll put up thumbnails of these eventually, but for now the images will just be linked Xs.
Not in any particular order, although Soap/Mote is only in the last line.

The unfortunate truth is that I simply don't get on the forest much anymore.

You've probably seen me at least once. :3

And yes yes, Key & Obe need to have a playdate. Hohoho.
I love how you wrote it Oboe! ;D <3
LAWL though Her, thank you though, I tried pretty hard getting them just right. I think I will have to color them eventually. Very carefully that is, I was very careful with the drawing, I even made a draft drawing before I did these. xD

It's nice to have a place to write down what you think about your deer.
*SOAP EYES*
That's what happens when your name is Soap, you have clean & shiny eyes.
