Profile l Relations l Codex l Past Entries

Chaotic good. Proud. Extroverted. Brave. Playful. Acts before he thinks. Greedy. Nosy. Protective. Savage. Wears his heart on his sleeve. Insensitive. Foolish. Melodramatic. Lacks subtlety or strategy.

This needs updating. New thoughts as of the rut:
- Learning more subtleties of fighting. Big adversaries require dodging! Finally starting to learn that being hurt = not so great
- Losing his mean streak; learning to be less selfish through a desire to cater to his herd.
- Doesn't seem the type, but easily enamored (and then flustered). Related to.....
- ...Unexpectedly, tends to cling to 1 judge at a time. Either as a preference when he has a group with him, or through the feeling of being reluctant to leave the 1 behind if they are alone and he is close to another lone judge
- Intentions tend to be more friendly than romantic...like, 90% of the time. Hasn't got a clue about "attracting" others in that sense- being flirty and showy and physical has become just standard, but might seem weird to acquaintances.
- Very good with kids/teenagers, seeing as he still acts like one
- SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE PHYSICAL TOUCH??? Mind blown.

Proud, but overbearing. Boisterous, immature, loud, extroverted, thrives on interaction and action itself. Not the smartest being in the forest. Usually kind-hearted. Utterly immature, childish thought processes. Brave to the point of being thoughtless. Social interactions are often stunted by a lack of consideration, being rather selfish. Openly affectionate just as much as he can be openly aggressive. Lacks subtlety, and has a knack for being inappropriate.

The ultimate sin for him would be first thought of as pride but is more of a greed-inclined person. Doesn't think about his relationships too often and takes them for granted. Takes huge offense at those who attack his friends and loved ones, but at the same time often doesn't actively help these people. Happy to be dependent on others without them being dependent on him.

At the same time, he's not usually satisfied with being an observer. Likes being involved. Curious and confident.

Struggles with new emotions or bad ones and doesn't deal with them very well.

Has a strong dislike for animal spells after childhood experiences

Was once a human- getting a revamp. The forest is his "rebirth", rather than an afterlife.

Casti is not quite in his prime at this stage, still very young (and acting like it). His body is physically mature however- his antlers and feathers proably won't grow past this point and are at their peak. His coat also no longer darkens. He appears tall and slightly odd in anatomy, well built while still lanky in the legs. If compared to a specific deer body shape, he'd probably be closest to a black tailed deer or maybe a mule deer. Can't pick, and neither would be exact. His face, while humanoid, is not perfectly so- it's kind of hard to describe the specific differences, but his nose (wide, flat with a cervine nose), eyes (very large with cat irises) and jaw (wide, with much more pronounced canine teeth) are the most noticeable. Would definitely 100% not pass as a human in the real world, nuh uh. Very alien.

Body build can't be pinpointed to a species, but maybe closest to red deer. Long neck, thick legs, study build and kind of heavy but speedy like RL deer are.

Horns are bull-like, much better for defense than offense, and heavily feathered. Has a heavy feather 'headdress' around his neck, slinging off his antlers slightly. Can raise it just slightly. A very effective protective layer for his neck. Has a slight amount of black facial hair around his face; bristly and short. Presumably if broken, would not grow back.

During the rutting season his pelt usually turns to a bright red- at this point he gains additional facial markings too, and his feathers change colour. As an indecisive person I might switch between these palettes without much notice, however. ICly he should slowly change as a natural process. Presumably genetic.

Occasionally(or rather, when I can be bothered to reload), he will wear his painted skull for fun. Otherwise he will wear any mask cast upon him.

Vague addition: probably has some scars on either his right flank or his face from the 2016 rut

His presence is more in the physical than the vocal, although he can be extremely noisy (hello airplane noises) and chatty at times. While he has a smooth speaking voice, his feral call probably resembles the one made by the real deer mask closest. It probably seems a little strange to hear it coming out of a humanoid face, but hey. He learned to growl like a wolf from his encounter with Rayiz and does this regularly when in a fight. Would be more likely to vocalise than actually form sentences- huffs and grunts, etc.

Speaking of fights, he has relatively little experience. He tends to bluff and show off a lot during fights but can be alarmingly vicious when enraged, expressing feral tendencies grown from his childhood. Fighting can vary between being mocking - dancing about his opponent, literally, and shaking his head to show off his feathers - and being outright savage with hooves, teeth, and if at the right angle (this would be very hard to do right), his horns. In-game, a lot of head-shaking indicates fluffing out his crests to make himself look bigger and trying to intimidate his opponent. May be combined with pawing at the ground (and usually growling at this point) if he's going to charge.

Is vindictive and tends to target specific deer in his violence- does not like to drag in others, does not like interference. If he feels he has reason to dislike and keep an eye on another individual, may go after them for the simplest of issues. Delights in the challenge that fights bring and the ability to (possibly) intimidate and overpower a rival.
