The Black Swan

The Black Swan



The Black Swan is a keeper of time and Forest history; an ancient vessel created alongside the birth of The Endless Forest. She is rumored to appear as a wandering entity lurking within the deepest parts of the secluded birch, or haunting the Crying Idol on even rarer occasions. Legend states that if one were to wander far enough, they may stumble upon a clearing in the woods, where all direction and sense of time are lost. Shrouded by a looming mist and dense forest, she appears waiting under the sliver of a new moon. Encounters with The Black Swan are said to be unnervingly surreal and fleeting, and are most of the time written off as just, perhaps, an unsettling dream.

Despite the years, however, after many generations of this story being passed, those who have been visited by The Black Swan all recall the same: facing a pupiless gaze, chilling, and dark; pools of black so bottomless and deep it trapped the light within them. Instead of a window to the soul, they were met with a mirror of the onlooker.

They saw only themselves.

Oh, I see. I suppose it is easier to become IC if you are the core, instead og trying to understand something you made up.

I enjoy this, though, wouldn't mind listening to more.


[Edit] Oooh new page~

[Edit^2] Btw does the name 'Ravyn' mean anything special? Or 'Ravynn' for that matter? Just wondering, haha

L - I see. You not only

L -
I see.
You not only separate, but go into some perspective based off of instinct, whereas mine is just dividing myself from my character.
I think the reason why people make many characters (characters that represent a piece of themselves) is because there are certain things that stand out to us as the player, and we like to define those things, and make them familiar to ourselves.
* GIST: it's venting, whether it's subconscious or not, that need / desire to define:
1. something that is unfamiliar to us
2. something we are passionate about (whether its good or bad)

Tull -
It's just something that flowed so I did it. Others might make a character because they want to express an idea which may or may not have anything to do with them. Or just because they feel like it. There's a lot of reasons. Some people actually might find it harder to explain themselves and base a character off of themselves. A person is not a simple thing at all. haha.

My real name is Ravyn.
The reason why I added an extra 'n' was because, honestly...
It wasn't because the name 'Ravyn' was taken, but,
I like the idea of it being slurred into my ear.
So I added an extra 'n' to give it that effect, I guess, but no one would know that but me, hahaha.

I know, I'm ridiculous.

I see. And the character

I see.
And the character based on yourself, when I said it probably wasn't so difficult as with completely made up characters, wasn't meant as an offend, in case I came across a bit rude or such, haha.

Haha, no, I got it.
And I just noticed you didn't put her name anywhere on the bio, yet everyone knows her name. Somehow, in my odd little world, I find that funny, hehe.

Nonono not rude at all. You

Nonono not rude at all. You are totally fine. <3
I've had it up before. (:
I should probably include it somewhere in her bio though now that you mention it.

It wasn't meant as a hint.

It wasn't meant as a hint. Actually, I thought you made it conciously, haha. Smiling


[Edit] Whoops, my bad, it does mentions her name. Nevermind me, haha~ :'D

Rain like knives pelted hard

Rain like knives pelted hard against them both, but Ravyn did not budge. Did not flinch in flashes of light or under the roar of godly thunder.
It was oddly refreshing.
She stood unfazed, fixed on the new face in front of her.
Tar statue, silk tongue:

Such a gentleman.

Never one for words, really.
She cruised by him with subtle touch and turned to make sure he was following.

To The Ruins.
Atlaxis's picture

With slight stumble and

With slight stumble and bumble, he had followed the black doe through the harsh-weathered woods with still a bit of amusement alight in his eye-sockets, his stocky legs working well to keep up.
At the Ruins they sat, finding shelter at last, though a rain-soaked pelt was a rather welcomed change to the small stag.

Gentleman? Pah, far from it, miss. Rain's a thing well shared, though.

His retort was craggy and stark in comparison, but he didn't seem to make mind of it. The closeness was enjoyable, as was the shared peace -- language didn't much matter in comparison.

Herla was trying to let her know that Ciel was moody.

I think it was the sniffing of Ciel then rubbing the tree he was next to that befuddled us. XD

Mmm.
So elegant. Her withers and face are perfect.
Sleek, defined, like her body.
And that jaw-like, ugh. Makes me melt.
I love her thighs, also, and the golden eye is an interesting change.

Beautiful art. I expect nothing less than perfection from you.
Impresses me every single time...

Thank you so much Jin.

To change the color of the player, in the code after you copy and paste it into the biography, you'll see something that says <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
Just change the #000000 to the color of your choice.

Tally -
Ah, this is my favorite one from you yet.
The simplicity of linework really does it for her. And really well, at that.
I feel like I could take her neck, and her withers, and her tail, and just tangle it around my fingers and never let go.
Mm, so smooth. Like silk. It's what I mean by lines. Clean, and light. Smooth like that.
Deep eyes and long lashes. If she bends forward it looks like she would spill out ink.
I love this a lot. Everything. From the structure of her body to the linework itself.
So nice.
Thank you so much.

Din -
Yes, beautiful isn't it?

Xiu -
Mm-m-m.
Yes, Satie. Love.
And thank you. I saved it as 'by Bumble' but honestly, I forget who bumble is on here...
