Eris (bio and further happenings)

Cheerful, sociable, prone to loneliness. When it bares its teeth he finds solace in the embrace of his cage.

cage

Eris is a fawn of small stature, hazy gray eyes and a small bend to the tips of his ears. He spends his mornings exploring the forest in search of playmates but oftentimes returns to his spot in the graveyard alone. He sleeps there, listening to the song of the forest most of his time, though his mind is easily diverted by company. His closest companion is his brother, Saater, from whom he's learning the ways of the forest. Their play sessions are his favourite activity and meeting other deer through him is much simpler. He also loves bending his shape, into animals at De Drinkplaats or by sitting inside of things he can find around the forest. He smells of dry grass, dirt and wildflowers.

As a human he was weak and frail but those ailments did not haunt him into this life. His fear of abandonment and fire remain, though he does not know where they stem from. At least the magic candles some deer brandish don't register as a threat anymore.

Ow... I finally waited for your bio. Idea So beautiful and atmospheric!.. The eyes are absolutely alive. I think the company of sad deer has been enlarged.

I also think that when we were human, in a past life, we were brothers too. Saater in human form is blond-haired. Why his hair turned black in deer form, I don't know.

Saater, thank you so much!

Saater, thank you so much! This makes me so so happy. ;w;

While compiling the bio and stuff I was thinking about all of this and had the thought that if they were brothers, Eris would likely have grown to be older than Saater as he would be unfit to fight in a war and so would have gotten to the forest later, it fits in that way too!

I wonder what kind of a deer Eris will grow into!

I so love your paintings! I don't know what Eris will grow into, but I know he'll be gorgeous and Saater will love him.

I think so, too. Though time doesn't seem to flow here the way it does in the human world.

Do you remember the death of human Eris?

We haven't met before (after several attempts to wake Eris up). I'm a friend of Saater, I can help new players with forest magic, that is casting unique sets of pelts, masks, and antlers onto players.

I hope that we can meet in the forest someday! It's nice to have new players coming in to this game! Smiling

I dreamed that after his

I dreamed that after his parents were killed by a bomb, house was destroyed, and his brother died in the war, Eris starved for a while, then just stopped wanting to live. When another bomb destroyed his shelter, he didn't run away from the fire. He wanted to meet those he had lost.

Oh my god. I am almost

Oh my god. I am almost speechless, this is beautiful. That is very close to my vision, even though it's still a bit blurry. I haven't mentioned it but in my mind's eye Eris was crippled in his human life. After the death of his parents and brother he was taken in by a couple nearby. The wife was sickly and soon died though, so he was left with a neglectful and abusive stepfather. By then, the light in his eyes had been snuffed out and every day he thought of the freedom death could bring. Every night he dreamt of his family. When he woke up engulfed in flames his first thought was "Finally, they came for me." He couldn't move, he didn't want to, he just sat up and took in his last visions of that world, however cruel it had been to him.

Congratulations from the bottom of my heart! Oh, I'm so sorry I wasn't in the Forest on this very day. Eris has grown up absolutely marvelous. He has chosen the exactly the mask that Saater fears. Laughing out loud It's so interesting, Saater has become more tender than he was in his human life, and Eris looks so much stronger. It seems that it does not have flowers on his antlers, but the blood of his enemies.

Widmung, thank you so much for catching this miraculous moment. The screenshots are amazing. You have a real talent.

Saater, Eris has yet to decide on his new look, he wouldn't choose something troubling for you. There are so many possibilities! He's going to play dressup until something sticks. Smiling
The forest gave him a body able of things he never was in his previous life, I think it gave him a boost of confidence, haha.
I hope to see you soon Idea
