Just bumping this for myself for reference reasons.

[*] - Added Test Expressions.
[*] - Added Key Areas. Changed Key Areas pics.

This is just an experiment for now. If I find I like it I may add it to Gustiro's biography.

I've been seeing a lot of "scent" listings. I've had a few ideas with it so... I figured I would try it out. After all Gustiro is supposed to have a more animal like sense of smell (despite having a humanoid face) which is a part of daily life.
Names of the sections may change and the way it is done may evolve.

Key Areas: The Fern Tree, The Sapling, The Poppy Tree, Dinah Moon's Weeping Willow.

Primary scent Gustiro's core scent. What he excretes rather then what he collects on him. (Please feel free to make suggestions. What do you think Gustiro would smell like? What comes to mind when thinking of Gustiro?) Under Construction.

Secondary scents These are scents that Gustiro smells strongly of that may be considered a part of him. However Gustiro does not excrete this scent but rather he spends so much time in the presence of something that the scent of it basically soaks into him. Poppies. Pond / lake water.

Tertiary scents These scents are basically what are "collected" daily. This includes the scent of other deer (if touched), specific places of the forest, and possibly objects (more likely from role play then in forest). I am probably going to go with a three day 'hold'. The scents are strong on the day they are collected, weak on the second day, and very faint on the third day until it is gone upon the fourth day. However deer that he is around pretty much daily may stay upon the 'strong' spot longer. Not only will scents be 'on' him but details of where the scent is may be listed. For example a deer he may have fought may be smelled upon his antlers, hooves and wounds with the possibility of the scent of blood if the opponent was injured. Strong (Today): [*] The First Forest (Heavy scent of tread and on stomach/side from resting.) [*] Morikiah (Heavy scent from continual contact.) [*] Schadenfreude (Heavy scent from continual contact.) Weak (Yesterday): [*] The First Forest (Heavy scent of tread and on stomach/side from resting.) [*] The Birch Forest (Light scent of tread.) [*] Positively reeks of Schadenfreude after rubbing obsessively on the fellow. Doesn't he have Haphephobia or something? Poor guy. Faint (The Day Before):

Scent Marked This is not what is on Gustiro but rather where Gustiro has left his trade mark upon. This will usually be specific trees. Trees that he normally rests near, spots that friends or enemies frequent, ect. I am not sure if I will add deer to this list for I am not sure if players will be comfortable with being listed. We shall see. Strong (Today): [*] The Fern Tree (Heavy, territorial mark.) Weak (Yesterday): [*] The Fern Tree (Heavy, territorial mark.) [*] The Poppy Tree (Light, territorial mark.) [*] The Sapling (Light, territorial mark.) [*] Dinah Moon's Weeping Willow (Light scent and antler scrapings. An 'I was here' mark.) [*] Umay's and Kody's Trees. (Light scent rubbing. An 'I was here' mark.) [*] Reed's Tree. (Light scent rubbing. An 'I was here' mark.) [*] Eli's Tree. (Light scent rubbing. An 'I was here' mark.) Faint (The Day Before):

Test Expressions:
[*] Forest Area (Heavy scent of tread and on stomach/side from resting.)

[*] Personal Favored Area (Heavy, territorial mark.)
[*] Personal Favored Area (Light, territorial mark.)
While Gustiro does not chase other deer (strangers) from these locations when alone if accompanied by deer he wishes to protect he may become more possessive of these locations. As they are supposed to be 'safe zones' to him. He will become more territorial of these areas if the deer near the location are known enemies or rivals.
[*] Familiar's Favored Area (Heavy scent, heavy antler scrapings. An 'I was here' mark.)
When used in favored areas of a deer he is exceptionally close to it is done to let them know he was in the location as well as to warn off enemies or rivals from said deer.
[*] Enemy's/Rival's Favored Area (Light scent rubbing. An 'I was here' mark.)
Usually only done to let an enemy or rival know that he has been in the area or forest in general. This is only done when the enemy or rival had not been seen or not in the current area. If he meant to mock or tease an enemy/rival he most likely will scent mark where they can see it not when they're away.
[*] Enemy's/Rival's Favored Area (Scent rubbing, antler scrapings and/or ground scrapings. An 'I was here' mark.)
Added with antler rubbings or dug up earth on an enemy's or rival's favored area is usually an aggressive act. It could be taken as a warning or even a threat depending on the recent interactions between them.

[*] Deer (Heavy scent from continual contact.)
Usually on Gustiro when he has cuddled or leaned on another deer.
[*] Deer (Heavy/Light scent from contact.)
Usually when Gustiro had rubbed on or had been rubbed on by another deer. Whether it was affectionate or in teasing.
[*] Fought Deer (Heavy scent in wounds and on hooves/antlers.)
