I'm still not 100% sure whether to go the OOC route or roleplay yet, so I'll just have my deer develop as I play the game and see if he (I've decided to crossplay) develops a different attitude and personality than my own (so far he is, so roleplay seems likely). Thus far...

*He's still a fawn, so he still doesn't know much about the forest.
*His experience around other deer has built up his confidence. He doesn't get as shy around others anymore!
*He likes company, but is torn between playing with others and taking solo strolls through the forest.
*Cannot resist joining in dances.
*Prefers to play with other fawns, he still gets a bit shy around adults. He may stay around adults to learn what they're doing and learn more about the forest's magic.
*Still learning how to perform magic. It's actually an embarrassing weakness of his...
*Likes to break dance!
*Likes to sleep in the Old Oak Tree. Has tried to sleep in a mushroom circle, but is too impatient and easily distracted to stay in place for five minutes.
*STILL needs a name. I'm just waiting for more character development.
*He likes to visit De Drinkplaats and the ABIOGENESIS idols, since he likes to play with the magic of these areas. He doesn't really know much about the two gods...

In a nutshell, he's the type that can't sit still and loves to explore. He's a bit of a lone wolf, but won't push away other deer. He's still wet behind the ears about the magic and history of the forest and hopes to find his answers by exploring and seeing all the points of interest as well as from the other deer. He doesn't see himself as a leader due to his youth and easily falls in line behind a herd on the move, although he may try to get his fawn friends to follow him if he wants to play in a different part of the forest. Since he's seen so many stags with masks he has put getting a mask on the top of his wishlist of things he wants when he grows up.

This is a Work In Progress!

Not sure if anyone would care enough to read this, but I should at least give the community a heads up that a new fawn has awakened in the forest.

It all started when I was browsing through Deviantart and noticed a favorite artist had submitted a picture of a weird looking deer with a human-like face and mentioned a game called The Endless Forest. I had assumed it was a console or other pricey game that I wouldn't be able to afford at the moment and almost passed on looking up the game, but curiosity overwhelmed me and I decided to check it out. To my surprise, it was not only a PC downloadable but free as well! Now I was getting very curious but I remembered downloading and attempting to play A Slower Speed of Light, only that ended with the game crashing every time the beginning cutscene finished. Not yet deterred I downloaded the game anyway and played a bit while unregistered just to get a feel for the game.

First, the place was beautiful! My default deer also moved smoothly (except for a moment of moonwalking ) and lag was minimal. Deciding that this seemed like an ok game I got a deer name and dove back in.

I had already read that I would be a fawn so no surprises there. There was a major difference between my test play and this one; the presence of other deer/players. During my test I didn't see other people but this time I was immediately near another player. Deciding to prioritize exploration over socialization I headed over to an odd stone formation, except there were a lot of deer there. Feeling shy, I remained quiet and just observed. Some sniffing, just to be polite, but with my bashfulness getting the better of me I ran off to explore more.

I quickly stumbled on some sort of... graveyard? (Apparently the Ename Ruin) Not sure why there was a graveyard here I decided to walk around and take a look. With no one around to see me, I jumped up on a piece of the ruin to act as my platform as I retried different actions.
