Hello there.......

X . V . I . I . I


Updates:

Physical Health: |||||||||| (97%)
Mental Health: |||||||||| (18%)
Predatory Gauge: |||||||||| (mild to high)
Losing progress; falling feral again. Growing hungry, but still excited to see Vita again.

Current thoughts: "....mine..."
Recent Activity: Relaxed in solitude until Sianna came up; began speaking with her, was distracted from forgiving her by Vita's calls. Eventually went to Vita, which spurred Sianna into attacking the mini. Instinctively defended Vita, shielding her from the jealous phoenix-doe until she left. Snuggled Vita and cleaned out the bite from Sianna afterwards. Overjoyed to see her again; cuddled up to her and fell asleep.








Let me begin..

Height: Approx. 2 meters ( 6'7" ) at the shoulder ( 9' to top of head ).
Build:
- Surprisingly lightweight and lithe, long body and neck.
- Long, thin legs, and a sharp, slender muzzle.
- An unkempt mane and tail, resembling that of a horse.
- Antlerless, ungodly tooth structure (all thin, sharp canines.)
- Wingspan approx 11 meters ( 36 ft, 18 ft per wing ) from wingtip to wingtip.
- Extremely long, tapered flight feathers account for this massive span.

See [Apeldille's Chart] for size reference.

- My name is (XVIII) Eighteen.
- Way, the Betrayer calls me "The Dragon."
- Most simply call me a monster.
- I can not remember how I got here.
- I am a stag, though I have no antlers...
- I speak like this; #2B3856
- ( Voice: Lord Shen [Kung Fu Panda 2] )
- I can be identified by this [Pictogram] in the forest, as well as by sight.
- I wear the magpie pelt, key antlers, and skull mask.
- I do not know my age.
- You need not know more.

XVIII is extremely unsocialized and unfamiliar with how to interact with deer inforest. When his predatory drive is low, he tends to be more stable, and appear curious or confused by the behaviour of other deer towards him. He is unlikely to bow, not out of rudeness, but because he was never taught that this was the polite way to greet another. Deer are food to him. When his predatory drive is high, he may obsessively sniff and circle deer, and appear to act aggressively but this is simply out of hunger and instinct, not a personality trait.

You're pathetic, the lot of you. Face me one by one, instead of charging me like a flock of sheep, you disgusting wastes. You're afraid you can't hold your own against me, hm? I've called you weak Honeyfur, because you ARE weak, you can't drive me off without the help of your weakling friends. You're weak now, and you'll always be weak, that won't and will never change. Look at this.. you, with a dragon form, and you're STILL too scared to face me alone! HA!

Ozzie, the one with no experience at all hopes to hold his own against me.. you have no muscle, your antlers aren't hardened for battle, you're not conditioned to this and you will never have the mind of a fighter. Phobos, with power you lack the antlers to use that power properly. What are you going to do, smack me to death? That is.. if you could even reach my shoulder.. tiny little fool.

You're all children, useless, scared little children who hide behind each other to unfairly overpower a truly superior opponent. You think I'm daunted by you? Come at me, one at a time, and I'll gladly put you in your rightful places; six feet under, and nothing but bone.

---

.. You're truly disgusting. I'd tear your revolting fawns from your very womb, Honeyfur, out of pity that the rest of the world wouldn't have to suffer the idiocy their parents would surely pass onto them.

-17/06/2011-

I started my hunt tonight, just like usual.. I'm famished. To start things off I.. came across a rabbit by the playground, mmh.. chased and played with it all the way to the pond before I decided to eat it. It was tasty, but a mere appetizer. Then.. then I smelled the same wonderful smell of that owl stag.. on a doe, a small doe, mmh.. she looked so good. I wanted a taste of her.. her blood, if it's anything as sweet as his, it must be incredible.

.. It would have been if not for that damn Guardian, Forsake. He ruined everything.. he kept me from my dinner, and brought two others to defend it. What's wrong with this picture? I am.. STARVING, and I.. no.. I can.. find something else. But I'm too hurt to right now. What am I to do..? I can't graze like them. That Honeyfur.. I hate her most of all. She'll pay for this, with her life.. or with the lives she has yet to bring into this world. Hmph..

Though.. something good did come out of this, I guess. Way.. this little mini whom I intended to make a meal out of earlier came to me afterwards at the pond. He helped clean my wounds, as Herla did, he tended to me, became curious.. why? Well.. he's mine now. I want him.. all to myself. This one is MINE, all mine, I have marked him as my own. Stay away from him, if any of you value your pathetic lives.

Healing Rate: (godly) +10% per day depending on current day's events. Additional bonuses may be awarded and noted in the physical health section above, such as healing by other deer, etc.

Method: Eighteen is an absolutely monstrous opponent. This beast attacks relentlessly, fueled by hunger and sheer hatred for the forest and its residents, dealing horrific amounts of damage very quickly. One on one, it is near impossible to take this beast down.

He will only fight if cornered, or overwhelmed by too many deer at once in a large group, which is the one and only way to deter him. He stands over nine feet tall at the top of the head, and displays a wingspan stretching thirty-six feet from wingtip to wingtip, accounted for by long, tapered flight feathers. While antlerless, he dons many thin, but sharp and powerful canines, lining the jaws of a skeletal face. This monster can sustain an extremely high amount of injuries, and isn't even mildly affected by pain from wounds during the rush of a fight.

His primary method of attack is to bite onto an opponent, clamp down, and rip and tear until they manage to pull away from him. His hooves and body are secondary; he may pound and slash at his enemies with them, or simply charge into them, sometimes blocking their vision with his wings and then attacking from behind the veil he has created.

His only true weak point is in dodging, when he becomes too wrapped up in offensive tactics to defend himself well. Contrary to popular belief, unless provoked he is non-aggressive around most deer, unless fixated on certain individuals (noted under relations) or his current prey target. He also heals ungodly fast, making him a difficult individual to get down, let alone keep down.

This beast is truly a thing of nightmares.










*Hunting Details*
-This is VERY important for any "prey" he interacts with in-forest-

*When XVIII hunts, he will usually target fawns or minis.
*When hunting, he will often stalk a deer for a short period of time beforehand, lurking nearby around the bases of trees or other objects, facing his target.
*He will try and get his target to run, so that he may chase them a short distance. This is never relentless, and he will not chase excessively. Chasing is part of the "game" to him.
*When "attacking" he may seem to be playing (prancing, sometime exhibiting playful emotes) with the victim, much as a cat plays with a mouse. Antlering+amazement represents a bite.
*When he is "done" or has "caught" his prey, he will sit down, to feed off whatever he's caught.

*No names will be mentioned, only descriptions. Your deer does NOT have to take ANY damage at all, this is simply part of his character and I do not expect deer to get hurt / killed by him unless as part of a plot or agreed to by both players. They will remain as anonymous deer; it's simply more fun to play him this way so feel free to run or play into his hunting habits if you wish.

If you would prefer he not "hunt" your deer, feel free to let me know and I'll keep him away from them.

"Hmm... Seems quite the

"Hmm... Seems quite the sticky situation. I would oblige to that request myself, but I have no reason to fight you. I'm not afraid to fight, but I am afraid of making enemies. Though, I won't stand by and see you attack someone so much weaker than yourself. Please understand, I'm not trying to threaten you, I'm simply stating my intentions."

Rofl, I bet 8'D and of course Ryuu is curious as a cat about Eighteen even if he's wary >.>

(Jeebas, he IS crazy.

(Jeebas, he IS crazy. XD)

She clambered up and was prepared to charge again when she noticed his rapid change in behaviour. Anthrax was also confused and she stared at him, dark blood sticking in the sleek fur of her neck and seeming not to hurt anymore. Her head fell to one side. Fascinated and somewhat entranced. In just a few moments, he had gone from trying to kill her to...playing with her? Was that what he was doing the whole time? It made the dragon doe's head spin.

She almost wanted to keep fighting -- that was her idea of a game -- but the childish part of her made her confused as to whether she should run from this crazy dude or play with him. What? she thought.

So she just stared at him, equally confused and curious.

Skitties: LOL. You stalker.

Skitties: LOL. You stalker. <3

Ryuu: "You're right, they are weak. It's why they need ten of them on me at once to fend me off. They instigate these things; everything I've done tonight has been justified. Before you make assumptions, consider this; they started it. I sought out to finish it until they needed to call for backup against me alone."

Lmao lD He is fascinating~

Ryff: I'll get a post to you when I can, muchos in-forest drama.

H quirked a nonexistent brow,

H quirked a nonexistent brow, eyeing the large stag a bit oddly. That seemed a bit strange. He could tell how hungry Eighteen was just by the way he looked at him. Which, in a way, was frightening in itself. Maybe all that fur would actually keep him from becoming the stag's next snack.

"I'm not here for anything in particular. You just seem like much better company than any of those meals on stilts any day," the buck explained with an awkward shrug, tails flicking about behind him a tad anxiously. He couldn't help it, this guy was just so powerful looking. He could learn a lot just by watching hunt. A real shame he wasn't hunting at the moment.

"Must everybody want something from you if they wish to approach you?" Maybe that was why he was sitting all alone.

"If they are so weak, then

"If they are so weak, then there is no need to attack them. Aggression is born when you see someone as a threat. And if they are the vile villains you say they are, don't use words like "justice" to describe your actions when you stoop to their level. Don't get me wrong, I believe you should be able to defend yourself, but what I'm hearing is not self-defense.
I'm probably saying too much. I'll leave you alone."


And everything Ryuu says is an attempt to investigate further >.>;

Know what.. I'm gonna have to

Know what.. I'm gonna have to post tomorrow guys, I'm still getting sniped at in-forest and I'm tired xD; I'll get to it then. ;A; <3

Ryuu: "Then tell them to quit taunting me and egging me on, go tell them yourself. If they're willing to ask for a fight, they'll get one. Tell them to stay out of my business as well; I wasn't out to kill Soona like they assume I was. They'll get theirs in due time. They need to realize this forest isn't theirs to determine who can be in a given place at a given time, their flocking and herd mentality is giving them false authority that won't help them a bit, no matter."

I understand~ xD

And sorry about sniping you,lol I did'nt know what was going on and thought that he attacked Honey first.
But great fun tonight!


"Leave Soona alone", she says

"Leave Soona alone", she says agitated. If it weren't for this cretin going after Soona, Daneth wouldn't have ever followed, which was really why she was confronting this... thing.

Haha.. no.. he was gonna

Haha.. no.. he was gonna chase Soona for a while and then let him go with one of those "stay away from me or next time I WILL kill you" warnings but when Honeyfur leapt in, he thought... "finally.. she's going to fight me one on one, it's about time." .... Til Phobos showed up. Lol.

Now he's just decided for sure they're all pathetic and not even worth fighting. >>

"Stay out of my business, you

"Stay out of my business, you damned witch," Eighteen hissed back. "This was none of your concern, I've seen you and you don't give a damn about Soona. Go back to your stag, and keep your mouth shut."

( He's so nasty. <3 )

Lol,despite being a dragon

Lol,despite being a dragon Pho still likes to defend her quite a bit.He pretty much has a vengefull hatred towards Eighteen now.

Sianna was not herself as of late. She was doing and saying things she wouldn't normally do or say.

"If I find out you've come near him again, I will personally gut you right from your asshole".

That is all she had to say. She would take her leave.

Same.. my msn's a huge bitch. I find the best way is to get a friend like Uruu to add both the people into a group convo and then just.. add each other from there. That might be an easier option if she happens to be on.

Xemi's picture

LOL. Ohyes. The List.

LOL. Ohyes. The List. DUNDUNDAAAHHHNN.

I feel the need to explain a little something;
in spite of Eighteen's dealings with Darcy involved Honey, Phobos and Nane, he really had nothing against Darcy, and he still doesn't really. The only reason he got aggressive was because he was trying to take Herla from him. Very rarely does Eighteen meet deer he's able to connect with, being a predator and all, so when someone comes along and tries to take his loved ones away from him.. ooohboy. There's trouble brewin'!

I agree, Eighteen's a scary ho. 8D; Sexy, but scary.
Shiori's picture

Yes lol. Darcy doesn't know

Yes lol. Darcy doesn't know him obviously and he usually gives even meanies a shot but seeing as Eighteen is a giant scary meat-eating mofo he's very concerned about his friend's safety. I don't mind if there's animosity there I was just explaining in case it wasn't clear what he was doing :3 Certainly not challenging Eighteen haha

That he is. lD And thankyou.~ I don't blame him.
Amazingly, Eighteen isn't aggressive, not unless he's hunting or feels threatened which (considering he's as you said "a giant scary meat-eating mofo") isn't very often. He's antisocial, yes.. but not one of those characters that'll charge out of nowhere. xD

Soona had seen the winged

Soona had seen the winged deer approach. Somehow, even as he hid in the timothy grass, Eighteen had found him. Fear seized the blue stag, his eyes wide as Eighteen drew closer. He couldn't breathe, couldn't move. He was already shaken after being chased by a doe named Vee, not to mention his encounter with Eiros. The stag was drained both physically and emotionally. He felt ill, tired. He had no tears left, and found it hard to breathe. It felt as if another panic attack was constantly creeping around the corner, tormenting him.

Closer...

A burst of energy grew within Soona, perhaps out of instinct, and he sprang to his feet and galloped off in a panic. He ran to a large birch that was close by, and then stopped and looked back in the direction whence he came. He waited, eyes wide and heart pounding. Waited for the winged deer to come charging, maw wide and teeth bared. If that were to be his fate, his end, then so be it. What did he have to live for, now?

Silence.

Eighteen was not charging. He made no sound. Soona's ears twisted back in confusion. Had the winged deer really seen him? He had to...there is no way he couldn't have. The blue stag was trotting back, against his own will. Something was pulling him back. No...please... And then, he saw Eighteen. The other stag was sitting on the ground, facing him, and Soona froze. He stared back at Eighteen, not knowing what to do or say. But the words came on their own.

"Wh-what do you want? I d-didn't come n-near you...I l-left you al-lone!" he called out in a choked stammer, his body tense as it readied itself to fly once more. What did Eighteen want, indeed, after the things he said and did to Soona. How did he expect Soona to approach him, to forgive him?

Eighteeen's picture

"I came to you, Eighteen

"I came to you, Eighteen responded bluntly after a long bout of silence.

"I saw that doe go after you. I was to make myself a wall, per se, but you don't need the help." He stayed put where he was, quickly beginning to debate in his mind about this deer. From all that Vita had taught him, it made sense to want to try and gain Soona's trust. Yet still, everything within him told him this wasn't what he should be doing. There was no point trying to win someone over who allowed such cowardice to govern their life. It was a waste of time to him, and to the blue stag alike.

Aside from that, the predator said absolutely nothing. He simply lay still, consumed in silence, looking the other stag over curiously. Maybe he didn't want to be associated with him after all, not when he was in the company of Sianna and Daneth so often. No.. both of them were like a hole in the head, an annoyance he'd rather live without. With that thought in mind he rose to his feet as quickly as he'd settled down, then turned to leave.
Uruushou's picture

Baffled... That was how Soona

Baffled... That was how Soona felt now. Not afraid, not angry. Just...baffled and confused. He didn't understand what was going it, but then again, he hardly understood anything anymore. Eighteen saw him get chased...and he wanted to help? But why? Why did he care after the threats and accusations of betrayal? It made no sense... Slowly, Soona walked over to a tree that was about twenty feet away from Eighteen, and he leaned against it heavily as he continued to gaze at the winged stag in bewilderment. Once more, he didn't know what to say. He wanted to ask why Eighteen was compelled to help, but what was the point? He couldn't trust Eighteen anymore...could he? No...he's a predator. He couldn't...

His heart wasn't convinced. It wasn't in his nature to hate anyone. He still felt sympathy for Eighteen, and was still willing to help the entity if he ever needed it. He wanted Eighteen to have someone else to go to, to trust. But now that trust was shattered. Perhaps in time, Eighteen would have a change of heart. Soona could sense that Eighteen was struggling; he was depressed and lonely, just like the blue stag. Soona needed someone to talk to just as much as Eighteen. But now, uncomfortable silence settled between them. Eighteen clearly didn't want to say anything more; Soona wondered what he was thinking.

And then, Eighteen was trotting away. Snapping out of his thoughts, Soona took a few steps forward, his heart plummeting as he watched the entity leave. No...don't go... "E-Eighteen! W-wait, please!" the blue stag called out, his voice hoarse as he spoke around the knot in his throat. He felt his eyes well up, but no tears came. There were none left. Despaired, Soona collapsed where he stood, his body shaking and his shoulders shuddering with dry, empty sobs. Nothing... Empty... Eighteen...Eiros...don't leave me...
