.




Nine is alive.. and with new health.

Say hello..
Name; "Nine"
Age; young adult*
Gender; male
Sexuality; panromantic asexual

Species; deer of the TEF variety
Height; ~3' at shoulders
Weight; ~102 lbs.
Afflictions; albino, eunuch, no antlers

Speaks; red subtext
Voice; Mei; Arashi No Yoru Ni *

Possessions; snow globe; a special gift from someone dear to him, massive troupe of rats, beast helm, skull 'mask'..
Location; "Throne", his ferns, behind the Crying Idol

Created; Sept. 1st, 2009 (9-1-09), awoke in the forest as an adult
Birth; date unregistered
*Nine will not disclose his age to anyone.



Don't be shy..
Stability; One of Nine's few great fears is sudden, drastic changes in his lifestyle. He thrives on routine, unless he initiates change on his own.

Security; Another of his few and far between fears is loss, which is connected to his fear of change. This is expressed in his tendencies of possessiveness and habit of sitting as close as possible to someone- even if that means on or under them.

Safety; Nine fears very little. Though brave, he is not a fool; he knows he is small and in that, vulnerable. He backs himself with friends of strength and loyalty.

Idleness; Between bursts of exuberance, Nine sleeps. He easily sleeps a day away without stirring.

Purity; Nine has the heart of a newborn babe and the gentleness of a saint, when his behavior isn't corrupted by selfishness, greed, or petty jealousy.

Childlike; Though an adult, he tends to have an air of someone far younger, often feigning ignorance. He has a 'bubbliness' to his behavior.

Stubborn; His stubbornness is usually isolated to himself and his admittance to an err he may have made. He has trouble allowing himself to face up and fess up. He has never cried.


You're not alone..
Bylah; A powerful figure in Nine's life and possibly the one that has made the most impact on him as an individual. Since their meeting, Nine has matured greatly but has also grown to depend heavily on Bylah's presence. When in his company, Nine shows defensive and territorial behavior towards strangers who he feels may come too near for his or Bylah's comfort. Nine holds the highest respect and vast endearment for this entity and considers him and all that he is, 'home'. It is not unusual to see the boy sitting alone in Bylah's otherwise vacant sunbeam. The king's absence has had a crippling effect on him emotionally and psychologically, but the experience leaves him farther room to grow.

As to the deeper aspects of their relationship, Bylah and Nine are difficult to describe. Some things, though, are best left undefined.



Dhudhwa; In par with Bylah, Nine simply adores Dhuddy. He is a very vital aspect to the boy's life and fills the crucial gap that Bylah simply cannot. There is a deep and powerful mutual bond between them and though their shared love for each other is unsurpassed, it is unique to most other relationships in that it manages to remain strictly platonic. After they met and rapidly became close and reliant on each other, Nine struggled to keep a stable balance between Bylah and Dhudhwa in his heart and on occasion, he still does. He couldn't live with himself if he were to truly lose either of them, for they are as much a part of themselves as they are a part of him. Quite simply, they have his heart.




A gruesome facade..
.. for such a charming face beneath. Why do you hide?


The Helmet; Nine's most cherished and sacred possession, it came to the forest with him and has always been with him, save for the few instances that he may have dropped it. The helm's design appears to be some sort of nonexistent monster, a row of jagged, pointed teeth along its ridge, fierce eye sockets, and spiked horns jutting from the back and sides.

Its significance at a glance may be unclear, and it's easy for one to assume that it's a means of intimidation, or even protection, but for its owner it is a powerful and very personal tool.

Nine finds a great amount of comfort, confidence, and security in wearing his helmet. With it, he has a fuller sense of self and is more stable, emotionally. When it's removed from his person, Nine may seem more humble, vulnerable, and aware of eyes and ears that may be on him. In short, it is his security blanket and also a part of his psyche. It's virtually impossible for him to be healthy if it is removed permanently or terminated.

He tends to take the helmet off more when he feels comfortable and safe in someone's company, usually that of Bylah or Nine, or if his head needs a good tree-rubbing. Unfortunately, while wearing it, he has an obvious blind spot and does a good amount of sniffing if you meet him up front. He often stands at the side of someone and leans on them or circles them or their legs* and is less inclined to give frontal attention unless he's nuzzling or sniffing. Don't be offended if he turns at an angle to look at you.


(This information may be likely to change over time. Most of if was written on the spot.)
*This is also a show of affection, like a cat rubbing, especially if done repeatedly.



































Jettem.. Dhuddy.. Kaoori, Wesker, Saosin--
Bylah.

That's such a cool glitch. I think I may have seen nine, I was fallowing a white deer for a while.

Nine's set is pretty

Nine's set is pretty characteristic. I know of only one other deer that shares it, but none share his devout mini except for the person that discovered it.

If he ignored you, I apologize. <3

No, no. I understand. He seems to be a very busy deer! <3

Heheh, I wish.. ^^; The only time he's truly occupied is when he's with Bylah or Dhudhwa, neither of which are hardly around, anymore..

I just want to say... wow...

I just want to say... wow... That's a really creative name. I've always wanted to name a character a number... But never had the opportunity without it sounding really stupid. Here it feels really natural. When I read the first top about Nine being afraid of change and possesive because of it, I wondered to myself a little... Could Nine have a slight case of Autism? Or were you inspired by it? I'm just curious. ^^;

Not sure if you ever saw this, so I thought to put it here for you. Sorry, I know the helmet looks wrong, should have referenced before drawing. <_< Well, hope you don´t hate it too much. =)

GingerNut- I never thought of that, actually. Shocked I'm not sure he'd show enough symptoms for that to be so, but it's an interesting perspective none-the-less.

"A week or so ago, I watched you and your red friend play in the purple flowers. I can't really say why exactly, but it made me feel so happy."
It was so entertaining seeing the flowers fly back and forth xDDD I'm pretty sure it was you, since you're like the only white mini.

Lovely biography page

Lovely biography page ♥ I would just like to ask you...
As you have a few creature spells underneath your deer which may have caused the devout to stick, do you know around how many spells you had underneath?

I'm not sure at the moment,

I'm not sure at the moment, though most of them are crows. I'm assuming they're from the fountain, as that place has been known to do strange things.

Well, okay. How much is a big

Well, okay.
How much is a big number to you though? I mean, would you say 10 is a lot of creatures to have underneath? Just maybe an estimate...
I'm going to try anyway, gets lots of creatures from the fountain~ ♥

I'm honestly not sure.. it's

I'm honestly not sure.. it's a lot of sneezing, and I think there may or may not be other animals or minideer in there. Shape spells seem to have an odd effect on spelldata, like with Sluggs's mini-pelt casting data used in an older version. Dunno..

Good luck.. <3

I might have stumbled across Nine at least once in my romping about. Though it was likely when I was on Valturez that I saw him... I cannot be certain it was him but hey... it was nice to see him in forest again.
