Yorres: Mage, Lightbringer
June 5, 2008 - 6:37am — IoRez
Name: Yorres
Meaning: "mysteries of time past"
Speech Color: 56A5EC
Mood: Disoriented
Thinking: "It's awfully quiet around here..."
Pictogram::
It's like a little sqare deer-head with a tiny hat.
Story: Some of Yorres' saga is recounted in the continuing story Limbo.
Profile: Yorres is a solitary deer, and seeks out the quiet places in the forest. He is devout, and spends time each day at the Godhead.
He is a quiet, thoughtful, careful and highly intelligent stag. His constant rumination alienates him from many other deer, but he does not particularly mind as his thoughts make excellent company. Yorres may seem aloof, but quietly seeks the company of other deer.
Yorres is not particularly playful or active. He prefers to watch others quietly from a distance, or to sit/stand perfectly still for long stretches of time whilst contemplating. He is a strange deer, but a true and good-hearted friend lies behind his somewhat intimidating intellect.
Yorres enjoys solving mysteries, and loves to roam the Forest, helping his friends and acquaintances with their various problems. At night, he remains hidden from the herd in a secret den, where occaisionally lost or troubled deer will seek his counsel or magical aid.
Family: As a fawn, Yorres was orphaned. Though never adpoted by any individual family or deer, Yorres was cared for by the community at large. He spent most of his time in the company of elder stags, in particular Sluggs, Magnet, and Ocelo. Unlike his peers, who were usually at play, Yorres was frequently found hiding, wandering and thinking. He became piously and humbly devoted to the Twin Gods of the Forest, whom he has come to regard as generous foster-parental figures. As a stag, he adoped the fawn Kaoori, who later became his adopted daughter and capable apprentice.
Magic: Through his study and meditation, Yorres has become the Sorceror of Light. As a teacher, he seeks the fawns of the Forest in order to teach them about magic.
Lightbringer: Yorres was also the first Lightbringer, Lightworker and Lightcreator. He was knighted Lightgod (a title he eschews) by CelticMystress on September 24, 2008. Yorres disbanded the Lightbringers in March 2013.
Powers/Strengths: Yorres is a Magician of the First Order, a servant of the Secret Fire. There is little he cannot accomplish with magic. The Gods have granted him the powers of the Light, which he will only use in the most dire of circumstances. In addition, Yorres possesses a supreme intellect and is a master of strategy. If required to engage in combat, he uses transformation, teleportation and illusion to frustrate and bewilder his opponent.
Weaknesses: Yorres is not a strong physical combatant and does not like to spar. He also is not a particularly fast runner, but prefers eluding an opponent to engaging in real fighting.
Likes: Silence and solitude. Prefers study to company. Loves a good argument, and is a devoted friend and teacher.
Dislikes: Bullies, Liars, Troublemakers and Drama Queens. Does not suffer fools gladly. Yorres stands firmly on the side of righteousness and does not tolerate evil of any kind, fighting and risking personal injury to protect those he cherishes.
Appearance: Yorres is lean and Holmesian - scruffy and bohemian, yet expressive and handsome. His age is undeterminable as he appears neither old nor young (but is middle-aged in reality). Yorres takes some pride in his ability to alter his appearance with magic to suit his needs, and may alternately appear very young or very old (or as another creature altogether) to further enhance a lesson or when making a philosophical or ethical point.
Set: Yorres prefers poppied antlers, masquerade/magpie mask and wears the space beluga pelt. He frequently travels disguised as a dove or rabbit.
Favorite Places: His secret den. He may also be seen near the Playground, the Godhead, or sleeping in the large circle of mushrooms near the Ename ruins.
Which makes him all the more
"And in dreams, reality is summoned."
I have no idea. His words inspired that. >>

It was good to see you again,
Glad to see you back. ^^
You've got an overdue fanart
Are you alright with me drawing him with a deer face and mask? I don't draw human faces very well. Either way, look for it ^^
Aw, that's so nice! And no,
And no, I don't mind at all - Yorres is a master of disguise, remember.
Hello there! *Track of doom!*

Ravyn - It was fun! Yorres loves Ravyn's company. He considers her a kidred spirit.

I would have stayed longer,
"Yorres, my dear friend; how
Yorres stills himself
"She sings of many things, as ever. At this time of year, however, she sings primarily of the coming Rut. She smiles at our pairings and rejoices in anticipation of the many new fawns who will soon swell our herd, literally and figuratively."
He shakes his head, and half-opens his eyes
"As you know, this is one of my least favorite times of year. All of my friends are involved in the rutting and sparring, and have little interest in anything beyond fighting and... well, mating."
Having said this, he looks somewhat embarassed for a moment, then focuses his attention on the falling leaves.
I/my deer like sitting and

requested for you.
Merry Christmas. ^^
Thanks again, Kaoori!
Father. It's been some time.
She bounded up to her adopted parent, nuzzling him hard. She had thought a lot about him during her journey outside the forest.
I brought you back something. Don't ask how I managed to.. perhaps it was with a little magic of my own that you taught me.
With an impish grin, she produced for him a small stone Shinto idol Kaoori had found in the forest of her homeland- from an old shrine long forgotten by humans. The figure, though old, still had enough of a face to smile up at the older, wiser deer.
Yorres smiled warmly down on
On seeing the small statue, Yorres' eyes widened in some surprise. "It is a noble gift, from an ancient earth shrine!" Yorres gazed at the eldritch carving for some time before saying, "Surely this figure houses one of the yaoyorozu no kami. I must take care to give him a proper and honorable home."
He nuzzled his adopted child, now so many cycles past maturity. "You must have walked many wheels to find such a treasure. Tell me, my young magus, what did you see and learn in your travels?"
She may not be a fawn
She returned the nuzzle, beaming. So many wonderful things. The hills outside of here are so much larger than our own. Some could take days to climb! I played and romped in fields of rainbows of flowers, and danced with the wind by the sea. I wonder if the sea ever ends. I found my old home, and the trees I used to love as a fawn before I came here. On one of the tall mountains, I found your gift- he smiled at me behind a couple of trees near a large stone place much like our ruins. Wesker had to dig him out. She laughed at the memory of the large bull elk weeding out the little stone statue.
There's nothing quite like home. I was glad to be back.

Everything in it seems hopelessly out of date now, but oh well. It would be a shame not to finish it.

Gentle Yorres, keeper of the flame
Perhaps the brightest light of all in this Forest
You bring hope and compassion to those you meet
And lasting friendships are bound to you
Of all the deer in the Endless Forest
You are among the most noble
