Hey guys, I know this will be long and hard to do since there are so many of you that I have met and Quad's been around for 3 years, but I'd like to make a relations list for him for his biography.

So please, if you don't mind, let me know your deer's relationship to Quad. Here's the relations I had in mind, but of course others could be possible:

Family*
Old Friend (someone he's known for a long time)
Close Friend
Friend
Acquaintance
Neutral
Enemy

I'll get a list started soon. I'm pretty sure most of Quad's relations will be acquaintances and friends but I dunno...not sure if he's really made any enemies outside of the Deadly Trio.

Generally however someone perceives Quad, he will perceive them the same way.

Also I didn't know if I should include love interests in this. There's only a few at the moment that I know of, the people who he had spoken to via Video Mate...I guess that's entirely their decision whether they want me to mention he is interested in them.

Thanks for the help.

Give the perfect gift for Walk Like A Zombie Day. Fun for the whole undead family!

The monastery rose up high above the mountains, a pillar of exceptional craftsmanship while seeming to fit with the natural look of the land. It was as if the Buddha himself put it there for those outside to gaze in awe.

The Man in the White Kimono climbed the steps leading up to it. He had been traveling for a long time, and was not going to back down on his quest, despite admittedly being weary from travel. His sandals were worn nearly paper thin, and his clothes were stained and ripped from the journey. Clearly he would not look his best at the summit, but there was little he could do about that.

The air was colder with each step, and even near the top of the stairway leading up it began to snow just a little. He was finding his lungs feeling more heavy as the altitude affected his breaths as well. The higher he climbed, the harder it was to breathe.

He crawled at the very top. After the last steps, he took deep breaths and could not stand, remaining on his hands and knees as the altitude got to him.

He looked up to see someone standing there, offering him a small cup of cool water. The monk smiled as he accepted the cup and drank. "Welcome, I hope your stay will be pleasant.", he spoke. Standing, the man bowed and nodded, "The climb was certainly worth it.", he replied. The monk motioned for him to follow, and he did so.

"I take it you are here for the sword?", the monk asked him. "How did you know?", the man questioned in a curious tone. The monk lowered his head, "Most who come here are only interested in that weapon of death. We try to show them the light of taking a peaceful route, but they insist on claiming the sword. A few have dropped their violent paths for the life of a monk, but those who have come just for the sword take the test and leave empty-handed.

It was 3:59 AM in a dark bedroom. A strange ambiance kept the room from staying silent. The tower fan at the foot of the bed blew gently, keeping the room cool and a comfortable current circulating. A wind chime nailed on the wall next to the bed was lightly sounding as the current moved past, making wooden clonks much like a shishiodo. A Native dreamcatcher also flutters above the bed, the feathers in the breeze as if they were moving all their own.

There he slept, covered in fleece blankets, some nights having strangely pleasant dreams, but this night he was haunted by a terrible nightmare he could not escape from. One arm dangled off the bed, he always seemed to fall asleep like this. Pressed against his back was a warm dachshund who dozed this night as well.

The clock changes to 4:00 AM, and a gust of unnatural wind blows through the room. The wind chime rattled loudly, the blankets and other things seemed to flow like waves in the ocean.

At the foot of the bed was a glowing specter, body fully white and glistening brightly in the darkness. Four beautiful wings outstretched and flowing in the strange wind.

And then the breeze died down, back to the simple flowing of the fan. The man and his dog remained asleep during this, though both were shivering now - not from the cold, but from the darkness.

The specter was a beautiful deer, his brown eyes filled with compassion and love. He approached the side of the bed and rubbed his white chest against the man's hand.

"That's quite enough, Iugulare. Let him go.", Quad's voice spoke in the near-silence. The stoat emerged from the bodies of both the man and dog, and looked up to the deer.

[=darkgrey]"He belongs to me.

Same setup as the Plant-Deer directory, but for dragons

Essentially I wanted to make a directory of TEF deer who were dragons in the Endless Forest. They can be fully dragon, dragon-deer, or someone who transforms into a dragon from another form. And yes, kirin characters are welcome too

Please note that this is not in any way a 'herd'. I simply would like to have a reference of characters who are dragons. In addition, they don't necessarily have to be played in the Forest - if you write about this character on TEFc (for example, how I write about Anirapio yet she isn't played in-game), they count too.


How to submit a character for the directory -

Just post in the comments below, and please include the following for me:

- a link to their biography
- a link to their pictogram (if they have one)
- a reference picture (I will shrink them to fit on here if they're too big) with credit to who drew the picture
- how they were created/born/originated *optional*
- a paragraph-long description of your character's appearance, powers, personality, ect.

WIP, I'll polish this later.

Essentially I wanted to make a directory of TEF deer who had plant life as part of their body. It can be as little as a single flower growing on their head to as much as their body is completely covered in tree bark, and they'll count for this directory.

Please note that this is not in any way a 'herd'. I simply would like to have a reference of characters who have plant qualities to them.

- a paragraph-long description of the plant-life that makes up their physiology and how it affects their body and life habits. It can be as short or as lengthy as you'd like.

If you need an example of how I will do this, please look at Bodhi's description below.

Hope this turns out well.

Bodhi
Played by QuadRaptor
Biography - Pictogram

Origin
Bodhi was a genderless fawn who was born nearly dead. The doe gave birth to it, but when it saw Bodhi was not moving, it abandoned the fawn, believing she had miscarried. Bodhi was rescued by Mother Nature herself, and became part plant to revive its body.

Plant Nature
Bodhi's body is fawn-like in shape, but is covered in plant and fungal life.

The little glowing mushrooms left a trail. Blixt had ignored them at first, he didn't think anything of them. But they were very strange...he had never seen them in the Forest before.

He wandered over to the Pond to take a sip of the cooling water. The night was just starting, and the strange glowing mushrooms seemed like little lanterns that faintly illuminated the ground much like low-flying fireflies. He was careful not to step on them.

Looking over, he caught a glance at a little fawn who was hanging out with a few other deer. Blixt tilted his head at first, he thought the fawn seemed camouflaged at first. But then he noticed that it was actually covered with plant life. In fact, the others it was laughing with were plant-like deer as well.

Normally Blixt would have turned away here, not that this fawn was any concern to him. But there was something oddly familiar about the fawn's face.

It reminded him of his doe...the one he and Dond fought over...the one that lost her life to wolves while he wandered the Endless Forest trying to regain his memory after that nearly fatal fall off of a cliffside.

The fawn was too interesting to him, he simply could not walk away.

When the others bowed and walked off, Bodhi was left alone, smiling happily. It turned to see the other green deer approaching. The mask was extremely interesting to Bodhi, who immediately spoke, "Oh hello there, sir! This one thinks you have a beautiful face. Please tell, where did that come from? This one has never seen anything like it before."

Blixt blinked for a second. The fawn's speech was odd to him. But he disregarded his thoughts and replied, "Mhmm...this mask was given to me by the Gods to hide my face. I doubt you'd be interested...", he hesitated just long enough for Bodhi's eyes to widen.

[=lightgreen]"Oh! Please, may this one see your face, your real face?

It's true that you learn something new every day, it may be something amazing or interesting, or something simple like realizing you like or dislike something. So for this topic, please post something new you have learned today (and feel free to post on multiple days and/or multiple times a day, there is no limit)

I'll start off

For me today, I learned that it's actually kind of a bad thing to be a ronin. Ronin are samurai who have lost their lord (either by their death or losing their master's favor) and did not go through the seppuku "ritual suicide" as part of their samurai code, so they dishonor the code to remain living.
