It hasn't been long since he appeared in the forest. At best, it might have only been about two weeks, maybe less. In this time, it had been fairly easy to remain out of the sight of others, though a few individuals had become permitted to come close. These however, would never be allowed to see him for who he really is, under the magic of the departed.

Calculative blue eyes scan the area leading to the lake, before the golden pelted stag steps out of the thick of the forest and into the clearing. Not many were around, and the birds were singing. Emphisis on were, as they stopped once he came into view, as if they sensed something less than harmless about the stag. An unimpressed snort passes his slitted nostrils, the stag lowering his head partially and walking to the water. He didn't appear evil, to the normal eye, but at the best, he was different. Upon reaching the lake, he lowers his head fully and takes a drink. His ears flick slightly, then stand erect.

The sound of hoofsteps catches his attention. He lifts his head and turns it to face the direction of the approaching deer. "Hmm?" he grunts, flicking his tail behind himself.

(A note: This might not progress too fast. plz be patient.)

I really hate to ask, but could someone send me spelldata including the skull mask, zombie antlers, and DOTD pelt?
Evidentally, I have full zombie data, and I have DOTD data (minus the horns) but I don't have the two together. ^^;
Even though I did have it for a bit last halloween. I guess I forgot to save. XD

Anyway, I know most people are against sharing spell data, so in alternate idea, could someone hit Archelius with the DOTD pelt?

Many thanks. ^^ <3

Updates:
CURRENTLY: Out of Forest.


Thoughts: Maybe I need to lay off the incense.
Saying: Whew.
Recently: Spent the day alternately finding ingredients for incense, meditating, and at one point using incense to enter a trance state as part of meditation. Spent some time communicating with ghosts near the pond after meditating, and overall ignoring the entire fact that the rut began and that he did promise his father to actually TRY to get involved this time. This is just not his area of interest. Mild headache lingering from slightly old ingredients being used in the incense, though his energy level has been spiked above normal. Now somewhat fidgety.

Fog rolls in, spirits and ghosts get active. Cue predatory instincts and necromancy boost. May be mildly distracted by ghosts, especially after having spent a few days hopped up on incense. Wandered around the forest a while, before happening upon a group of does cuddling in different nearby groups. Kairi and Arien were in the same area, though Arien was asleep. Stuck around the group a while, and noticed a ram-horned stag in the fog a short ways off. Approached him mildly and attempted to find some spellspam trees to mess with him. Since no hostility was shown beyond the other's mooing, kept his behavior reasonable. Distracted by a ghost afterwards. Returned to the doe group for a while longer before starting to wander off. Just as he was leaving, Arien woke up and caught up with him. Cue SIBLING TIME.

Romped about with Arien for gods know how long. Even got into laughter-spam and momentarily adopted a fawn into the fun. Lost the fawn. Probably would be a terrible father. B|
Eventually passed out watching a herd with Arien. At least that twitchiness is worn off.

Eyes:

Like his father, each eye sees the world around him in a different manner, and can function seperate from the rest. His backmost eyes see the world in a normal spectrum, though one sees black and white while the other sees color. His lower right eye sees heat, much like a snake, and the lower left sees both energy and infared light, much like a shark or jellyfish sense electrical impuses (electroreception). His middle right eye sees ghosts and spirits, regardless of whether the spirit has given up on contacting the living. His middle left eye sees auras within living creatures.

Abilities:

Beyond being able to see ghosts, even the ones who have given up contacting the living, he is able to communicate and control them at will, and can kill the spirits and ghosts as if they were alive so they are forced to 'move on'. He can call on the dead to manipulate his appearance or supply spells; Necromancy.

Artistic Appearance:

In his "day" pelt, he appears to be a normal Irish Elk. His fur is bright golden, with swirls of softer yellow oddly patterend to look like fragmented skelletal markings. He has a realistic deer face under his skull "mask", which is perfectly intact and hides his extra sets of eyes. The two visible eyes appear to be a soft blue color. His antlers appear to suck in sunlight and have an on and off illusion of glowing or letting off black smoke. His body is large and muscular, with a thick neck and heavy fur. His tail is abnormally long, and resembles Darkweaver's, albet furrier and healthier looking. He retains perfect shark-like teeth in an otherwise normal deer's mouth. He appears to be under his prime, and quite young and energetic. This is an added bonus to his disguise of sort, as it masks a lot of details about his bloodline.

In his "Night"/"Necromancer"/"Real" pelt, he has a simple skellington pelt, lacking any markings beside the black and white. His antlers seem to radiate darkness, and possably has dark spirits clinging to them. His skull mask becomes cracked along the sides, letting all six of his eyes see threw. His mouth becomes more dragon-like and opens much further, though the teeth remain shark-like. His fur remains thick and healthy looking, and under his fur it's clear he has muscle to spare. His long tail becomes more ragged looking and far longer. His eyes are all solid crimson. He appears much older, though still very strong and healthy.

After giving Spill's Soul to Osias, as well as the two other souls his family provided to revive the deceased members of his family, Arch has lost a strong fraction of his necromancer power. This is because the spirits that once housed within his antlers are now in living bodies, and are no longer an extention of himself. Until he finds new spirits to manipulate and carry within himself in some manner, he is stuck perpetually in his Necromancer form albet with less abilities. Can not disguise himself, thus is clear to everyone who sees him who he really is.

Behaviour:

In his "Day" set, he will behave as a younger stag, to match the appearance. While in this set, he will restrain himself immencely in spars and fights, and avoid use of his necromancy. He will stop fighting when he 'logically' should be tired out, if he were a regular deer. He will be generally sedate and approachable, though always on the alert. He will appear to be propetually calm to the point of emotionless, even when anger would be perfectly reasonable. He may be inticed to play with others and engage in sillier behaviours, or multiple friendly spars. In communication, he will come across as somewhat passive and easygoing, not interested in any form of aggression beyong spars. He also will demonstrate a high level of knowledge from what he's learned on many travels. He may even be seen trying to break up fights by standing between combatants. He will behave like a follower, simply going along with whatever someone else is doing, dispite the reality of being more of a leader inwardly. Appears to be a good actor, and maintains an honest demenor. He will show a bit of distaste in wearing the devout pelt, but may instigate 'devout tag' to hide his hate for it.

In his "Necromancer" forme, he will show his true nature - Dominant, Aggressive, and Vengeful. Easilly pushed into anger. He will not back down from battles and will use his real strengh, but only on those who have offended his bloodline or him directly. He may become unreasonable and attack devout pelted deer without question. May use the spirits of his brother and sister to help against abnormally powerful enemies. Being both highly experienced and intellegent, he does know when to drop a fight and make his leave. Will not play or act silly in any way except if he runs into a friend, and will only act silly to hide his dark nature. Will not attack or offend those he's befriended in his "Day" appearance, and in fact may try to avoid them seeing him. He may come across as something of a ninja, and is excellant at hiding. If necessary he may even use spirits to camoflage himself or literally transport himself in and out of locations. He has no signs of nieveity or passivism, and will take an immediate leader role when nessessary.


Practices: His travels outside the forest and constant seeking for a god to believe in has led him to be knowledgable on many religions. He himself will occasionally behave as though he takes to heart Hindu or Vudu beliefs and practices. In other instances, he may appear to instead take on buddhist thinking, but only in his day set. Dispite all of this, he is essentially impossible to pin down to one specific line of faiths or beliefs, especially in his true forme, where he seems more of a mix of Vudu and Aztec in practices. He may sometimes consume certain mushrooms and other fungi to enter trance states, following in line with indiginous beliefs as well. Alternately he may collect items to aid in darker magics.

Cameo/Story Appearances:
One Last Battle

[=brown] A massive creature, reminicant to a stag walks at the edge of the forest. As he walks, he takes care not to step into the midst of the trees. His massive ruby antlers seem to glitter in the sunlight, and his stride is high and proud. His eyes, all six of them, however contain intellegence, and distant anger. He pauses, flicking his long tail behind himself, and shifts his gaze toward the forest, ears perking at the sound of mooing. A low growl escapes his throat, echoing past the skull over his face. "Murderers... decendants of murderers... Sickening beasts." he snarls, and trots away again, back to the real world. "One day mother... father... Vengance."

As he walks, two ghostly figures rise out of the ground, both having very similar forms to the stag. Though these two are somewhat smaller, and perhaps younger, it's clear they bore some relation. The first, a buck with almost equally impressive antlers to the live stag... and the second, a doe with long black feathers in place of antlers, and eyes glowing like a blue flame. The ghost doe speaks, breaking the relative silence. "Big brother... You know I hate to nag, but it's been centuries. When shall we step foot into the forest again?" she speaks mornfully. The massive stag slows his gait, and comes to a slow stop. He looks up toward the bright sun. "If ever, it will be soon... but we cannot enter as we are. You remember, both of you, how everyone we cared for had been persecuted... murdered... based on our appearance. I'll find a way to change my own appearance, before I step in... and seek our revenge." He figured aloud. The younger stag furrows a brow behind his ghostly skull. "How do you plan on doing that, Archeluis?" he questioned.

The stag smiled behind his skull, momentarilly flashing perfect shark-like teeth. "The forest has it's magic, but a necromancer with enough spirits... has his own 'magic' to experiment with." he explained simply.

...a quick battle with Spill?

I've kind of been having a rough week, and need to release some fusteration before going to work.
It'd be epic if someone could fight my psychopath just for stress relief.

<3 Thanks.

Ok, so I've been waiting on the Abiogenisis most of the morning, and now 2 minutes before I'm CERTAIN it'll begin I'm being nagged to get off.

I FREAKIN' hate my family and their timing. D<

Ok everyone, feel free to interract any way you want with any of my following deer. 83
They're ready to RP or converse with anyone willing to approach them.

Zergarikiaka - Hyperactive ball of randomness; Typically found near the pond.
Note: Preggers currently, so vulnerable to LULS.

Mar Sart - Shy genious; Typically found either near the pond or birch forest.
Note: Loves Aegle; Won't run away when approached.

Darkweaver - The old grumpy demon; Typically found near the ruins.
Note: Touchey about missing his antler, hasn't eaten a proper meal in a while.

Spill - Raving mass of madness and evil; Found anywhere, usually near anyone who already fears him.
Note: Frequently repeats himself. May drive other deer bonkers.

Ebony - Quiet mastermind and 'electric' nature; Found near the ruins.
Note: Semi-Ghost. Still hears the voice of her husband, who's still alive in another life/world. Has power over lightning.

Laghodessa - Murdered mother; Found near the ruins.
Note: May appear as a raven. Ghost.

The rest of my deer who aren't listed simply aren't developed enough to RP with, or would loose their secret state.

So, here's the deal. I've been under a lot of verbal abuse in real life and am constantly getting slapped with 'fixes' and critiques on how I dress/act/sound/live/what I eat/ ect. Frankly I'm basically at the point of tears in reality and started thinking about some very unplesant things to do to end it.
Frankly, I have been ridiculed to the point of finding myself feeling completely worthless. Like my live is a complete flaw and that I do nothing right, ever.
I need encouragment. Severely.

Please, just someone tell me SOMETHING good. Just let me know if there's ANYTHING good about my being around, or if I've done anything right that you can think of. I hate feeling like a worthless flaw.

Like a failure.

Picto: I NOT SAYING. 83
Name: XD Not telling until someone figures out who it is.
Nickname: Not telling
Alternate Name: Not telling

Gender: Doe

Appearance in forest: Still a fawn. Will eventually have the kirin antlers, red deer pelt, and realdeer mask.
Appearance: One half of her body appears to be that of a regular real-deer doe in almost every aspect. The other half however is completely mechanical, with wires exposed in areas. Two long cables extend from her forehead to her back.

will finish this later, when my computer acts up less.

Yeah, I don't know who to use or what to do lately.
If anyone wants to see my deer in forest, plz do tell me.
