I've tried this before with little success, but... Feel free to ask questions of my deer! They'll answer it themselves, if they can...Though they may lie. If they can't answer it, or if it's for me about them, I'll answer it.

My Deer, for anyone who needs a refresher:
Seed: Generally, a gentle poet, prone to bouts of melencholy but willing to do just about anything. He's not shy, but he's somewhat introverted. He's by a significant margin the oldest of my deer (I'm not talking literally, though that's true there as well. I mean he feels the oldest.)

Hycanith: a sweet and nervous young doe. She's entirely mute, and prone to spazzing out suddenly. She wants to make friends, but generally feels uncertain. She daydreams a lot, and has a mind that's very hard to control. She's very distractable. Underneath her bright and shiny surface are some dark waters; she's young, but deep down is older than you'd think.

Krym: He's generally bold and outgoing, with a bit of a quick temper. He's a simple, friendly sort of guy when you don't get him riled. Likes eating. Krym is a demigod, though he's not fully aware of the capabilities that gives him. He's pretty young, still finding his footing in the world. He has the strongest family bonds of all my deer, and apprecietes them.


But...
I especially want one thing. I feel like I've brought my current set of deer into balance...and what I think I want right now...is to bring Faris back in some way. But, to be frank, he was never all that developed. Beyond his hard-to-handle desire to be knightly (hard-to-handle as in "I was never sure what to do with it") and his love of competetion, most other aspects of his personality were re-used for Krym. So he needs some rethinking and re-working from me...and I'd like you guys to help me by asking questions for or about him, to help me decide who he is now.
If I can't, maybe I'll make someone new. I don't know.

I'll be gone until this next Tuesday, and I may or may not be able to check my messages (and even less likely to be in-forest) until then. If you have something I need to see, post a link here, and I'll check it out as I can.

This is such a lovely New Year's Eve, much more festive than last year. And a good party deserves a good poem. It will have to accept my offering, instead. Ha.


((This has been yet another visit to Seed's Poetry Corner. In the text of the next few poems, I will be putting bits of a secret message. First person to post at the index with a message gets a special surprise! This poem's message piece is "Gi"))

I've been working on this for a while, but I'm still not completely satisfied with it. It pales before its muse, so I'm a little relieved that I need to return to the subject of Nevilly's favorite game more at some point.



((This was a rather sappy visit to Seed's poetry corner Head to the index for some of his less sappy stuff, and the rest of it, too.))

Male


Untried


- a demigod, possessing minor super strength of which he is largely unaware.
- passionate and easily moved to any emotion, whether to joy or sorrow or blind rage...and then just as easily returned to his default, cheerful state.
- a go-getter, trying to grab life by the antlers if he can.
- comfortable in his own skin.
- willing to fight anyone who looks like they're trying to pick one or hurting someone else, but not inclined to seek out a fight.
- a lover of a friendly spar if one is offered.
- a big eater, who loves to eat mushrooms and pinecones as often as he can, and in as large amonts as possible. He also likes berries and grass, but to a lesser degree.
- someone who wishes he could be a bit more refined and gentlemanly.
- a stag who loves his friends and family to death.
- a lover of all kinds of games, particularly physical ones.
- a stag who would like to meet more deer, since he can never have enough friends.
- someone who can't stand to see other people being picked on.
- a poor liar.
- prone to putting sound effects in when he talks, sometimes using them in place of a verb.


- He wears the nightfall set like his mother and father -- he's a strong-looking stag underneath it, though not as strong as he actually is (which would be frankly freaky) and isn't afraid to show off his adult looks.

Yeah. There's something about Christmas Eve that makes me cry -- my usual thing is spending the evening on my aunt's back porch while a party I can neither enjoy nor tolerate goes on inside, and I'm basically trapped there for a while. But not this year -- I lucked out, and happen to be sick (no, really.)

No, this year I have weightier things on my mine, and I feel like I just need to get them out somewhere. I know I'm often something of a worry-wort, but I think now I have some legitimate causes, which makes me authentically scared and sad -- especially this time of year, when logically togetherness and merriness should abound.

There's a friend online I've been close to for over 4 years. And then she vanishes sometime, oh, a month or so ago. Maybe more. It could be school, but she's not back -- which makes me worry more. It could be a lack of internet. At which point I would be so freaking relieved...but...she's had some suicidal tendencies in the past, especially recently. She's had some delinquincy issues in the past. She's had some psychological issues in the past. So I can't stop worrying that she's dead or in jail or in an insane asylum somewhere, and I've forgotten her actual last name, and can't track her down just to be sure. She's the only person who was enough like myself to really understand my feelings, and the thought that I might never hear from her again scares me a lot.

And then there's my IRL best friend of...11 years of so, if my math is right. She had family issues long before I met her, and a few years ago, things got worse. A lot worse. Recently, things got so bad that finally the situation got outside attention. And things could get better from here, or things could get a lot worse. In a week, we'll know...But my friend is worried (and I agree with her) that if things go the "lot worse" option, her life could be in danger.

Hey! I want to ask you guys something. I'm trying to make some friends with other fawns and deer and stuff, and I think I met some deer I like today, even though the big stag didn't get that the other fawn and I weren't really fighting, we were just having some fun! ...Anyway, they were nice, but I dunno who they are. Anyone know?



Thanks a bunch if you can help me out here!

((This is also an excercise in building Krym's voice a bit more.))

Hyacinth met this deer earlier today, and thought this deer was very nice.
So...any ideas who this deer is?

[=#FFA824]
I spent the morning with someone I dunno, since I couldn't find my parents. He was pretty fun; he wanted to cast a lot of spells! But I didn't get him; he'd want me to cast a spell, and then he'd be happy with it, and then after a while he'd sneeze it off! I didn't know what it took to make him happy! But it was nice casting all those antlers and masks -- I really like to eat pinecones and mushrooms. Mushrooms kinda go ting-tang in your mouth, and the pine cones taste a little like smoke. But they also taste like magic, which is really awesome! Anyway, I had to go after casting spells on the guy for a while. Good luck getting what you want!


Then I came back and found my friend Vala again! Vala was playing with a friend -- I think his name's Mozart. We started casting more spells for a while, until Vala had to go. I think I've decided: I don't want to wear a mask! I just want to have a really pretty face! When Vala had to go, I chased my pal back to the willow trees where Vala went to sleep. I was just gonna go take a break after that, but I ran into another fawn. I thought we could be friends, but all he wanted was to cast antler spells. After a while, I got bored! I just started eating the pinecones, and only casting spells when he cast them on me. When he was done, he just sat down! I decided I was bored enough, so I went off and took a little break by my favorite spot.


So I went and joined some other fawns in the Big Oak; I tried to get them to dance, but one of them dashed off and MwwAAAaaa'd out, so I went and saw what he/she wanted.

Yeah, I figured I would give it a shot. Unless you have a specific scenario in mind, these'll likely just be little random scenes with one of my deer and however many of your deer you want. If you want to do an RP through another system (email or messenger or something), just let me know, I'll be happy to do so. So, if you wanna RP with one of my deer, post here saying which deer you'd like, and we can start something. I'm not sure how I'll keep this organized, but I'll do my best.

My Active Deer (links to their bios if they have them):
Seed:(X)
Hyacinth:(X)
Krim: (X)

...Yeah. I don't know how to close this out. Post if you wanna RP. But, as a head's up, I only RP my deer as deer. If I wanted to play humans, I would make up new human characters for it.
