Set: :Golden Butterfly Pelt:Noh Mask:Default Antlers:
Seems to wear poppies on his antlers quite a lot nowadays.
Out of game Jacob`s base fur is a golden color, spanning from the back of his head, and covering his flanks. His face is white, and appears to be similar to that of a little boy`s-human faced with light, wide blue eyes. Atop his head is a mass of messy black hair. Both of his ears are golden, like most of his body with white inner far. On the back of his ears are an array of brown stripes, on either side of which are little spots of the same color.
On Jacob`s front legs are simple, pure white stripes. On his hind legs, the design is a bit more complicated- the center of his hind legs is a solid brown, additionally flanked by the same brown stripes and spots found on his ears. All four of his hooves are a pure white.
His tail is small and fluffy, that of a normal deer. A small white patch can be found on its underside.
Antlers span out of his mass of black hair, similar to those of a whitetail deer.
Home A crooked willow tree, overlooking the Blue Bowl. A source of comfort, yet another of nostalgia and longing. Visits occasionally. (Coor. 463x262 will get a picture up sometime ;-;)
Gifts A feather: Given by his sister when he was very young. May have slight magical properties-though Jacob himself is not aware of it. Temporarily given to Halla when she was taken away by her demons. Hidden somewhere at home.
A necklace with a stone attached to it: A special stone, gifted to him by his mother, Orinoco. Engraved with her pictogram. Allows him to communicate with her while she repays the debt bestowed upon her. Treasured; keeps hidden somewhere at home.
Personality
Jacob`s viewpoint on a perfect world isn`t so much different from that of a moderately sane individual. He wishes for no more than a world in which all are at peace, a realm of tranquility where friends and family alike can get by with their daily lives with no concern. Surely, only the basest of creatures would not long for a world such as this-or so he hopes.
However, the golden buck is no stranger to the harshness of reality. Growing up amidst chaos and strained relations, he knows better than to dream. It would be sheer lying to say that the events he came of age upon did nothing to shape his views of the world. Indeed, the buck has formed clear views of right and wrong-though it is not to say that he will accept or deny those completely on the basis of first impressions. It can, however, be made certain that he will treat you in the same way that you choose to treat his family and friends-the treasured which he holds in highest regard. Indeed, the golden buck views those he is close to with the utmost respect and reverence-no one is more special.
This does not mean, however, that he will merely stand aside if a stranger happens to come under harm in his presence-though it does depend highly on the current situation. If he witnesses two strangers fighting, he will likely not get himself involved. If a young one is being pursued or harmed, however, it is likely that he will not hesitate to jump in-or at least stay nearby and try to investigate. It is no secret that the golden buck has a soft spot for fawns-his past experiences have changed his view of the small ones from slight nuisances to those who must be protected. If someone attempts to harm a fawn in Jacob`s presence, it is not likely that they will escape retribution.
Jacob tends to be rather mildly-tempered and passive most times-he prefers to walk away from a fight, rather than engage in them unless absolutely necessarily. However, one can find that it is surprisingly easy to get him irritated. Indeed, his young days saw many rather childish temper tantrums-though this has greatly evened out since then. Even so, those that invade his personal space or attempt to bring some form of irritation upon his loved ones can expect a rather irate buck. However, one may soon find that getting Jacob angry and goading him into attacking you are two very different things. While somewhat quick to anger, it takes a massive amount of effort to get Jacob to actually inflict harm upon another. He simply does not view it as his place to injure another creature unless absolutely necessary. It is far more likely that he will "bluff-charge" one than actually ever touch them with his antlers. He favors giving warnings far more than attacking.
In spite of his rather peculiar temper, he is quite welcoming toward strangers. As long as you don`t barrel into him and proceed to start rearing him around, you are almost sure to receive a friendly greeting. Indeed, he usually does not mind that company of strangers- after all, even his closest friends were mere strangers once. This is not to say that he is not slightly suspicious of strangers at first glance-though this is just a natural reaction to meeting others.
While those that do him and loved ones good will be treated likewise, the ones that choose to react toward him and those he is close to will not soon be forgotten nor forgiven. Those that attempt to injure either will be remembered and regarded warily. This would be one of the few cases where he may actually be driven to hurt another-even though he usually will not attack them unless they attack first. Normally.
The events of the golden bucks life have also left deep within their own mark, one of insecurity and doubt. It is often that the buck doubts himself and his abilities to protect and care for those he loves. It is many times that he feels he is "just not good enough" and that the tragedies that befall the ones around him are partly his fault. The quest for pursuing what is believed to be right bring guilt with them, in his case. However, the golden buck will always strive to achieve the things he believes are best for his loved ones-and surely, no one would protest to that. (WIP bleh)
Traits
- Has an extremely good sense of smell. Can often remember the scent of a deer that he hasn`t seen in a while. Can sent deer from a rather long distance away. Tries to sniff many of the new deer that he meets in order to memorize their scent.
- Has a mild distaste for the Pond. This used to be much worse when he was younger, to the extent that he would be reluctant to take even a single step in. Now prefers sticking to the more shallow parts of the Pond. Doesn`t like going very deep into it, but will if he has to.
- Prefers the Bridge over jumping the stream. The golden fawn would much rather use a nice stone bridge to cross the stream than having to jump over it. Ironically, was terrified of crossing the Bridge when he was first introduced to it. Will only jump the stream if in a rush.
- Intrigued by the Ruins. Was fascinated with the old stone structure from the moment his mother introduced him to it. Used to refrain from running while nearby the Ruins. Also had a habit of half-bowing to the pagan statues- something he saw his mother do- but seems to have dropped it. Isn`t as obsessed as he used to be, but still loves visiting there occasionally.
-Not good at bowing. The fawn has never liked bowing much- he wasn`t ever too good at it. Prefers a little half-bow and a sniff or two over a full bow. Very rarely performs a full bow.
-Trees are fun to beat up. Ever since his nubs started growing in, Jacob has developed a habit of antlering various trees. Though it was initially for quelling his itching head, this now largely seems to be a way of diffusing his anger or annoyance toward others. Will still do it for fun occasionally.
-Detests loud or mooing deer. These deer only make him uncomfortable- the buck doesn`t like it at all. Easily spooked by it. Not many deer sit well with a random stranger running up and screaming in their faces, right? If confronted by such a deer, will either politely try to tell them no, or "bluff charge" them. It all depends on the situation.
-Seems to have slight "herding" tendencies. Has developed a habit of trying to lead deer he knows to other deer that they and/or also knows. Doesn`t mean any harm by it- though he is currently unaware of the fact that that not everyone likes this.
-Susceptible to panic attacks. If irritated or spooked, particularly loud or rambunctious deer coming near may cause Jacob to have somewhat of a "nervous breakdown." This usually consists of frantic head shaking and a combination of rearing and lowering his nubs. This is rarely intended to do real harm; it is simply a way of showing his distress and warning the other deer to back off.
-Often doesn`t nuzzle deer unless he knows them very well. Often gets a bit surprised when a deer that he hasn`t known for a long time nuzzles him. Sometimes makes him uncomfortable. Truly means no harm by this though- is fact, his surprise at this can sometimes be described as "I really mean that much to you?" or "You really like me that much?" Despite this, he will still nuzzle deer to reassure them or make them feel better.
-
Growing protectiveness toward fawns. Developing a soft spot for fawns as a result of being around so many newborns. Likely to want to watch over and protect the fawns he knows, especially mini fawns. Still not too keen on loud,"annoying" ones, however.

Jacob listened intently to
He tilted his head. "Earth..." It sounded interesting- but one thing troubled him. What did his father mean when he said he wouldn`t look the same? Surely, he couldn`t change the way he looked entirely?
But that raven stag changed into a bat yesterday. Maybe if it was possible inside the Forest, it possible outside the Forest as well?
Jacob nodded. "How will we get back, though?" It was weird- he hadn`t even left yet, but he was already eager for this to be over.

But that would only make Papa angry. Besides, the curiously would always be nagging at him. He might as well get things over with. The quicker they got done with this, the sooner they could be back.
The fawn narrowed his eyes in determination. "Alright, Papa. I`m ready."
"But.. can we please go through together?"

He squinted carefully at the Idol. He could see it now- the little circle Papa had been talking about. He bent down, waiting for Papa to finish making the count to three.
When he said three, the golden fawn barreled head first toward the Idol, closing his eyes just before he hit. Panic gripped him for a brief moment as he felt himself go... through the Idol? He kept his eyes closed as a bright light engulfed him. Something hard-the ground?- made him stumble. Jacob whimpered slightly, afraid to do anything until he heard his Papa`s voice.
It was only until he felt himself steadying out that he dared to open his eyes.

OMG IT IS THE TEF PLATFORM 9 3/4!Brooks made sure Jacob ran
The man opened his eyes, looking around for Jacob until he saw him. This is what he had meant. They looked different... boy did they look different, but they were still who they were inside. Looking down at his own body and then to Jacob, Brooks noticed that they both were clothed, good. He as a man had his long, orange hair, like normal. He didn't have body builder muscles, but he also didn't look like someone you would mess with. The man wore his hair back in a loose ponytail and he had a long-sleeve shirt with jeans. He didn't have his mask, though, so his face was uncovered.
"So, how was that for a wild ride?" Brooks asked, waiting to see his son's reaction.
Soli: YES AND I SEE WHAT YOU
YES
AND I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
Cyda: Jacob`s eyes were still shut. At the sound of his father`s voice, however, he dared to open them just a crack.
When he peered over to his right, he saw a creature unlike anyone he`d ever seen before. It was tall and skinny, and had four legs- but it was only standing on two of them. The other two legs hung down, and had weird extensions coming out of them. The only real fur it had was on its head- it seemed to be wearing different colored fur on it, though.
Jacob had never seen it before, but something about it looked familiar. The color of it eyes, the hair on its head....
"P-Papa? Is that you?"
Jacob struggled to stand up, expecting to land on all fours. Instead, he was suddenly wobbling around on two legs with his front legs dangling around awkwardly by his sides. He tried taking a step forward, but stumbled.
He gasped in surprise. Was he the same thing as Papa was? Was this what he had meant by not looking the same?

Jacob immediately stretched
He was the same creature as Papa now. He had the same face, and his black hair was still on his head, albeit a little messier. His eyes were still the same blue color. His actual face, instead of being white, was a weird light orange color of some sort. In fact, his entire body was that color. Like Papa, he was also wearing that weird colored fur. It felt quite strange.
What disturbed Jacob the most was the fact that his face was the same. Back in the forest, deer seemed to have two different faces. He had always assumed that this was natural. But now... the faces of these creatures seemed to be exactly the same as some of the deer in the forest. Including him.
What did it mean? Did the creatures they now have something to do with some of the deer in the forest. The thought scared little Jacob.
He clung to his father, eyes still locked on his reflection. "I think this is really weird and I kind of wanna go home!"
Or did he? He did want to go back home, but he still had a lot of questions to ask his father. Besides, Papa had something to show him, right?

The boy looked up at his father. "I-I`m sorry, Papa. I just got really scared. W-What... What exactly are we? Why do you look like this? Why are our faces still the same?"

He tilted his head, a bit more intrigued then frightened now. Knowing that he was able to travel through a secret entrance from the forest into an entirely different place made him feel kind of special! I wonder why Mama didn`t take me here before? Maybe I was too little...
Jacob nodded. "Okay! Where is it?" He wondered what Papa`s home looked like. Was it like the one at home, with trees and blueberry patches?

And...how about Halla?
His train of thought, however, was interrupted by a quite voice not far off. His head swiveled in surprise as he spotted the other deer. He looked familiar... Jacob knew that he had seen him at least a few times.
"...Hi. Are...are you Zash? I`m sorry...I didn`t recognize you at first."

He nodded, keeping a passive
"It's kind of like a dog fight," he stated after a few moments of silence, "Try to step in, and you risk getting bit, either by your dog or the dog your dog is fighting. Dogs don't know much in the heat of the moment, just like deer tend to become extremely narrow minded when they become angry. Growl, charge, bite. They don't know who they're really hurting until the smoke clears. And even then, there's a chance their minds won't completely understand that they were the ones who caused the damage. Sometimes it's best to step back and let them settle the situation themselves, even if there's a risk one of them will become seriously hurt. Sometimes it's better to have a victor and a loser rather than let yourself get tangled into the mix. You might get worse off than they will, and all you were trying to do was help." He glanced over at the younger male, before turning his head to issue a sigh, "Don't worry yourself over it, Jacob. Whatever it is, it's not your problem. Is it stressful? Yes, but concerning yourself over your companions affairs isn't healthy for you. It's better to stay strong for them." he allowed a few heartbeats of silence, "But then again, that's just my opinion, I'm not trying to tell you how to handle your own affairs, just offering some advice. Only you really know how to handle yourself, when it falls down to it in the end."
Jacob tried to listen to
He could only sigh. "I guess so. When I was younger, the deer that I was usually with got into a lot of fights. I mostly tried to jump in and stop it-I know that`s pretty dumb, but I just didn`t want the fighting to continue. When I got a bit older, I tried to stay out of them, sometimes... I knew that there were some things that only they could handle." The buck shifted awkwardly, staring into the distance. "I guess I could have saved myself a lot of grief if I stayed out of those fights.... but it isn`t going to change anything now..."
