-Part of earth elements & flesh & blood
-build is like a springbok
-antlers are those of a chital
-illogical fear of leaving crying idol/pond
-Posses a length of string with a blue stone on it. The stone looks like it's made out of water as it swirls about but keeps its shape. Given to him by Junalia, wears it constantly around its neck and will never be seen without it. Necklace also holds a orange/buff feather from Akhenton and a few blue feathers from Kettu.
-If you see him at the twins he is ooc, I'm trying to get his pelt but acting like how he probably would. Please cast the devout pelt on him, my timing sucks ;;

Origin
Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.
--Theodore Roethke
The Twin Gods had been searching for something, something important. Something that would become them, spread their reaches further into the forest. Reveal the secrets like twisted roots sent deep underground and send them sprouting up fresh through new eyes. But who? Who would perpetuate the forest, make it better? Who indeed could see the leaves plump and full off sunlight? Who would rustle the bare branches in winter - or see too it that the forest creatures were taken care of?
After searching far and wide across their land, they scrabbled in the darkest places. Deep down under where the light never reaches and tomorrow never comes. They dredged the pond, sifting through old bones of those who'd given themselves willing or not. When they dug the dirt of the church yard and came up empty handed they cast their reach further. Stretched it beyond the borders. Always reaching. Always searching.
And then, when it seemed that the guardian must come from their own power, they found it. A soul so worn away it was only a flicker. And yet, somehow.... somehow it burned brighter then everything, brighter then anything. A desire to live, to please, to grow, to love and most of all....to mean something. A desire to leave a bit of it's own light on every one it touched. To keep them burning as bright as it did once. Oh how it longed for that. The Twins looked at each other and in the split second their eyes met they knew. They knew and they agreed.
And so a new light was brought into the forest. Shaped and spun from the leafy trees themselves. Molded by the smooth hands of water, dried from the hot breath of the untouched sun. Birthed from the stone that had born the tears of some old forgotten sorrow it finally came to be.

Links
If it weren't for the rocks in its bed, the stream would have no song.

When a link is established the picto of a deer will appear engraved on his side. How long it takes to establish a link varies and in some cases those links fade.
Gotta re-write everything ahhhhhhhhh
Kettu (Little Fox): Complicated. A source of intense worry, fear and guilt. Loves deeply even so. Has disappeared suddenly a few times, lives in fear that one day she will not return. Inwardly quite jealous of her and the family that she's managed to find, worries about being replaced. Feels that it has failed her to a great extent. Completely lost without, she's its light in the dark. Beyond terrified of seeing her again and letting her see what he is now, also terrified by the fact the fox may not allow it back into her life after what its done. Pines for, misses a great deal. Holds a quiet belief that she's better off without it tying her down. Sunshine. gotta rewrite
Possible new songs: Chains - Radical Face, Reminder - Mumford & Sons, Ghost Towns - Radical Face, I Was Wrong - Oh Hellos
Akhenaton (The Bird): One of the few recurring faces in the Idol Spirit's life. A teacher and a listener, can tell him all its problems and be reassured. At one time thought that the bird might have been right saying that Ird had a purpose and was needed. Now quietly disagrees with what had been said. Sheltering wings, safety. Treasures their encounters. Scarce now. Gone? rewrite aaah
Odu (Tree): Has only meet once through Lilith but immediately felt an unbreakable connection towards. He's just like it, a being that carries many of the traits the Idol Spirit does. Represents a hope that there is something more that Ird can become. Admires. A bit envious of his size and apparent powers. Was approaching the point of regrowth when Ird met him, has since disappeared. Extremely worried about. Unaware of his 'rebirth'.
Lilith (Lil): Complicated. Initially started of on rocky grounds, namely because the blue giant disliked it. After numerous life-shaking events happened to both of them found common ground. Always liked, looks up to. Admired. Knows she's really actually pretty nice under all her coldness. Welcome source of company, can talk to her when no one else is around. Scared about her seeing it like this. rewriteeee
Possible songs: Touch - Sleeping At Last, Second Chances - Radical Face
Pretty Boy: Encountered when the small soul when he was first placed in the Forest by The Twins, coaxed the little thing out of some ferns and sat with. Met again sometime later when the fawn had grown to an adolescent. Adored the fellow but felt a high degree of jealously and internal bitterness towards too. Ird believes that he is its replacement, also thinks that this is for the best too. Gone.
Bo (The Angel): An angel of a different God, found her to be a kind and interesting being. Once felt a great deal of pity towards and anger against those that had burned her wings. Now holds a great bitterness towards, thinks she flew away and went back home. Envious at her ability to just leave whenever she wants to and resentful of the bond that her and the Twins seemed to share. Gone.
Yara (The Butter): Liked a great deal, found immeasurable similarities between them despite only meeting her twice. Thought that they'd finally found some one that wouldn't throw it away in the end. To a slight degree feels betrayed by, promised she'd visit and teach it to read. Never did. Gone. Missed. rewrite ahhh
Possible songs: Alone Together - FOB, Friendship To Last - Two Steps From Hell
Sen: 
?? IDK ABOUT YOU????? - gotta sorta rewrite
Vahni
Nilo
Caldia
Eloa
"Hommy"
Junalia (Smush Face): Junalia (Smush Face): Was once part of Ird's everything. Loved so much, cute chatterer. Was learning how to talk, first being to stay in its life longer than a day. Gentle and small. Saved from drowning once. Disappeared without warning after a conflict between her and some other individuals. Finally stopped waiting for her when showed up out of the blue again one day, was beyond scared of her for reasons it didn't completely know. Was told what had transpired in the time she was gone and then she promptly vanished again. Undoubtedly feels cheated out of the opportunity to watch her grow up and change. Heartache, bitterness, anger. Gone. Left a hole. Mourns.

-Was intended to become a caretaker of the forest and to give the twins a visible indicator of how their forest was doing. Unfortunately Ird became completely terrified to journey beyond the pond and has never once set foot in any part of the forest except the Old Oak. This has severely impacted the amount it can do for the forest. The twins are starting to accept this.
-Self confidence is non existent, this shows through when ever the Idol spirit talks about itself or when it can not protect someone. Firm belief that it is a "bad seed" that comes from the past.
-Suffers from SAD (Separation Anxiety Disorder). Currently only seems to affect those that Ird rarely sees and cannot be counted on to return again. Experiences an array of symptoms including physical complaints. Maybe one of the reasons it refuses to leave the pond.
- Smarter than it looks and acts. May not understand everything but has a good perspective of the world and isn't afraid to use the knowledge it posses. Often surprisingly philosophical and word wise if gotten to calm down and concentrate
-Can tell when the feelings of those around him are forced. Dislikes people covering up their problems because they think it can not handle them. Surprisingly adept at finding fake smiles.
-Loves quickly and with absolutely everything it has. Even when they don't get any love back. Will give and give and give until there is nothing else.
-Skin cracks easily, more so when extremely upset. The grass and moss on its skin will wilt and turn brown when this happens. Likely to lose its flowers in these instances as well. Blood trails dry up in cases of extreme sadness, can not see very well at all until blood trails are restored by happiness.
-When startled will spit out great quantities of blood at attackers. Has the aim and accuracy of a lama, will aim for the eyes and face

It gurgled its watery laugh sounding like a brook running over stones. "Yep, Yep. Much eaisier. Akhen, have you been long here? In the forest?"

"Uhh...I've seen the seasons through...once...err.. twice now? I've just been gone for a long while, so I'm sort of...relearning how to handle the Forest again." he replied quietly with a twitch of his wings, "What about you? Have you always been here...?" He remembered Ird mentioning being born from the Idol...but...he didn't know how long ago. As far as he knew, he had been around for eons and Akhen just never ran across him.
(Reminds me of the character
"Tis much get used to, yep. Everyone learns an relearns here, Ird still is fer certain. Forest is easier to handle then Other Places Ird been to. Is still hard though too somewhat." It watched the bird's wings twitch, each individual feather moving and bending a bit. Very beautiful, it wished it could be beautiful like that too. "Ird been here... four age-months now, at least Ird thinks so. The twins probably know but Ird don want to ask them. Ird is pretty young."
(Oh gosh! I've done that with
Other places? Akhen refrained from asking about that to nod at the other's mention of their age. "Ah, I see. Haven't been here very long then..." he went silent at that, ears twitching to the croaking of the frogs around the pond as he shifted his weight from hoof to hoof. He liked feeling this sense of warmth. What did the creature do in summer then? "Does Ird ever get too warm?"
Oh yiss
(Really serious characters
"Yep. Ird been in other places longer....but Ird not really real then." Voice became low at the mention of those other places and it barely suppressed a shiver. Those were bad, bad days. A quiet shake of the head to answer the bird's question. "No."
SilverSAV: Yissssss, hello!
The abrupt response made
The owl male shifted his weight again, this time flaring and resettling his wings. "Thank you for helping me keep warm, Ird." he muttered after a couple of minutes of silence. " I came from a really warm place; this weather is bad on me."

@Junalia: Oh Yes! Any role playing is welcome, I love it! The more the merrier we say, it should probably be a separate interaction then the one waning and I are doing though. Less confusing for me that way (: Ird'll help much as it can.

Junalia spots her favorite green deer by the crying stone and trots her frozen fluff over to him, snuggling into his warm side to get away from the cold. She smiles up a him and lets out a tiny happy moo. "Mooo!" Her little baby tail wiggles wildly, happy to see her friend.
"Oh! It's Ju! Ird very glad
"Mooooooo!" She calls to him
"Gnag, alae aah la agrag Ip."

She watches him closely again, once again her ears twisting about while still straight up above her short hair. "Mmmbuuurrrrf, Mmmmbuuuurrrff!" Still she tries to form words, but she's just happy to be making sounds other than mooing. She then giggles a bit and smashes her face into his side in a rough nuzzle.
@Waning: asfjldlftk how did I
It's eye sockets widened amazed. With a loud screech it leapt up and pounced several times coming very close to pronking. "Ird knew! Ird knew! Or Ird guessed it! Amazing!" It adruptly plopped back down grinning from ear to ear, well it would be if it had ears. The birds question caused it to jump up again and do a little shimmy. "OH YES! Ird has a talked ta birds long time now, Ird wonders! Wonders what bein so high that all others small, Ird wonders!"
@Junalia: Thank-you so much hun <3 I didn't see that!
Her nuzzles caused him to squirm, giggle and kick a bit. "Eeeee! You Smush Face! Eeee! Dat tickles Ird!"

Akhen could only watch the little thing spazz about at his answer, and then again at the question. "Really now?" he eyed the little thing for a few moments, "How long can Ird stay still?"

It giggled guilty of over exuberance once more. "Yes." It wiggled around tipping its hooves in a little drum beat. "Um.... an hour? Day? Ird no know, kinda depends but you haven't seen Ird really a moving about yet."
