Spartak, the two-faced deer (bio)

Spartak
Vitals

Physical gained an almost new set of senses | Emotional 96%, regaining new and different energy from the mask | Mental the mask has become a complete part of his face now, controlling his central thoughts and processing center of the brain

Life is a test, with little tests riddled in between...



Jennie and Spartak
By Jennie



Current Updates
I thought I had died. For what seemed like a very long time, my mind was separate from my body; fighting a force that was both unseen and untouched. Yet, I could see and touch it. I never could while I was awake. Darkness surrounded me on all sides. I felt like I was one with the room. When a foreign entity came into the room, I could feel it try to take me over. This happened over and over again for a very long time. Eventually, I could feel myself slipping, loosing control of my power to hold back the foreign energy. I lost the battle. It took me over completely.
***
When I woke up, all I was able to see was smeared color. A kind of faded, old array of colors that seemed to have melted over my eyes from a while ago. I could move parts of my body all perfectly; it was just the struggle of not being able to see anything that made me cautious. I could have just woken up from a deep sleep and it could be years in the future for all I know. Made it to the lake, sniffed the water, and took a long, cool drink from it, gulping and sloshing the water around in my mouth. I paused for a moment, then dipped my entire head in the water. Still feels like the water I used to know. The colors that had melted over my eyes began to wash off in the water. Raising my head up from the water again, my vision came back to normal. Looking around at the interesting weather, I realized that my vision was actually better than it used to be. It wasn't the future, no. But the gods had made it twilight. Then, finally remembering who I was, I froze. Slowly, I bent down to peer at my reflection in the water. The mask...it wasn't there. My fur had the patterns of the mask tattooed into it, but the mask...wasn't there anymore. This didn't surprise me as much as it made me afraid. Where was the mask if it wasn't around me when I woke up? The melted colors over my eyes, the patterns from the mask on my fur...the mask must have sunken right into my skin. Ever since I had woken up from the sleep, kept noticing something different about myself. My eyes were highly sensitive to different shades of light and shades of colors, and could analyze something about a particular object from a long distance away. I could predict what a squirrel or a bat would do before it did it. My sense of smell was amazing me; I was able to smell the sweat of a deer standing all the way at the other end of the forest.
I could hear the wind rustling the leaves of a specific tree all the way from the birch forest. The only sense that didn't seem to have changed was my touch.

Previous Updates
A deep sadness had echoed through me in the past week or so that seemed to come with its own anger. Every morning I woke up and touched the mask cemented onto my face. More squishy and flesh-like every day. I felt like screaming, but I couldn't. It had melted over my mouth. Thank the gods it hadn't reached my nose yet. Everywhere I went, people would gawk at me; fawns would shriek and run away. Sometimes I'd trot down to the pond and look at the ugly deer staring back at me. At least it hadn't covered my eyes. But I wish it had. I didn't want to be alive. Who was I? Was I just a figment of their imagination? I began to doubt myself; not recently, but long ago, when I thought that the mask I was given had meant something good. Yet it had just deteriorated from that moment. Loner. Outcast. Monster. Nobody called me Spartak. I was starving, for both food and attention. It was when I noticed Lady in the distance that I raced after her. Not so much as for playing, or even attention that I had wanted so badly. Just for food. Her help. I was afraid that if I tried cutting the mask away from my mouth, that it would hurt me and not the mask. I could feel it, as if it were a part of my body now. What started out as a cry for help ended up with Lady in Red racing off after a tease. Unlike all of the other times where I wouldn't have a care in the world and play around with her, I followed her, trying to scream. It was so muffled, my scream was barely above a whisper. I was dying for a pinecone or a even a bite of grass. A desert was inside of my mouth. A squishy, melted smile hid the thirsty frown. It mocked anyone who came near to get a closer look. One last look at myself in the water told me that I was loosing weight. My shoulder bones had begun to jut out of my back like mountains, and my spine followed like an archipelago. Jevir had once talked to me about energy. That when it is used up, it doesn't just disappear. She explained that everything goes somewhere. I have reason to believe that the energy from the mask had gone into my body. And that Jevir had gone away. Where to, I don't know. March 10, 2014





Spartak in human form: x

Biography
Born in a mushroom ring next to a frog. Adopted by Jevir. Has a tendency to overreact and get paranoid often, especially around naked deer. He can't stay still for very long and is easily distracted. But it really catches his attention if you run around with him. Spartak had gotten the full sectretary bird pelt cast on him by a very old deer, wearing a skull mask, space beluga pelt, and those strange, big red antlers. His pictogram was just a jumble of other symbols on top of each other. Spartak thought of him as his father, because he never had one, but he hasen't seen that deer again. Later, as Spartak had become a young adult, a mysterious deer had cast The Deer of the Dead mask on him, altering his appearance dramatically. He searches for this deer to thank them, and he often wonders why a deer would be willing to give such a great mask to...a deer like him? Then something went wrong one day that changed the young buck's life forever...
I'd been drinking from the pond for about a minute when I looked up, and there in front of my face was another deer....who looked exactly like me. This freaked me out a bit and I scooted back so I could have room to stare at him. My size, just a little skinnier, my same mask...and the same colorings I have on my pelt...except--where was the color?! It was supposed to have color in it. The deer stared at me with an eternally smiling expression. Was that how I looked? Growing anxious, I peered down into the pond to see my reflection. I was...glowing? I watched my reflection start to blacken, and sink into the pond, creating a small whirlpool. Everything in the pond drained into it. Frozen to my spot at the edge of the water, I lifted my head, only to see the deer was gone. Things seemed to be slightly different from then on. Like an out-of-body experience, as if I was watching a movie play before my eyes, but did not feel a part of it. I ran without stopping for hours on end, to every part of the forest. The feeling like I wasn't quite there....that I was slipping away, to somewhere unknown, was riddled on my mind. I skidded to a stop in front of an innocent fawn when I thought I heard Beorn's roar. I lifted my head, and roared back. The fawn called to me as well, but I didn't seem to hear him at all, and brushed past the little guy. I wasn't myself. I wasn't myself at all now. I was...something else. Oseaan. This time the sound hit my ears like a wave of cool air. Slowing down, but not stopping, my ears went to the front of my head and yearned to hear the sound again. Kio. Cassiopeia. I picked up my speed, and almost ran past them. It was controlling me. I knew it....it had to be something ----- the mask! Going against the strong force willing me to run away, I struggled to turn myself around and face them. My friends. How could I walk away from my friends?? It wasn't me, though. It wasn't me. I made my stiff leg bow to everyone, including one that I did not know. It was all I could do to keep myself from exploding at them. Rage. Hatred. What in the forest was happening to me?! Out of the corner of my eye, I could see that Kio had started dancing. A chain reaction; everyone started dancing after her. I forced myself to dance. This coldness, a cold so deep and penetrating, seeped its way in under my fur...sinking to my hind legs and spreading into my chest. Sit down, it said. So I sat, without thinking. From behind my mask, I saw that everyone stopped and stared at me. Worried looks. I was worried, too. I had to get it off...before it ate me alive. It was filling me up, filling a void inside of me. But not with good feelings, no... The feelings of darkness, deep fear, loneliness, depression, and the most twisted and angry feeling I'd ever felt in my life took me over on the spot. Whatever was inside of the mask....was finding its way into my soul. I had to get it off. Now. My head snapped into action, and I swung my neck around, pounding and scraping my face into the dirt. I slammed the side of the mask into the ground, but it wouldn't budge. Automatically, like a robot, I rose from my spot, leaped over to a tree, and whacked my head into it as hard as I could.
I was only hurting myself. Warm liquid trickled down my neck, leaking from the side of my head. On the outside, I looked to others that I was hurt, and confused. On the inside, a battle was being fought with an unknown force...which was now dragging me down to the graveyard. It wanted to go back. I cryed out, trying with my hooves to pry it off by the edges. It was no use, and I felt my body traveling to the dark place, with very little of myself still left. It wanted to be there.....and now so did I. There was no stopping this force, only giving in, for it was far too powerful to let a mere cervidae control where it was going to go. The force that had taken over my body seemed to be happier here, and moved me like a a puppet. I sat in places and did things that a deer shouldn't normally do, but I couldn't feel any pain. I could just see it on my body, and stare in horror at my broken legs. What did this spirit want from me.....my body? A temporary body to dwell in. This force was not using it wisely, though.

Appearance
Size: #17

Speaks in: this color, his voice sounds like Elijah Wood's

Set: Secretary Bird pelt and antlers, Deer of the Dead mask. Cannot wear any other mask; the dotd has become part of his face.

Personality
Shy around red deer, because the color is almost hypnotic (in a good way).

Likes to prance around with anybody, anywhere, play with friends and fawns,

and enjoys sitting in sun patches in the forest. Will sometimes play as a fawn.

Low emotional health, gets shy, or sad easily.

In some cases can get angry if provoked long enough. Will protect friends from mean bucks, naked

deer (which he finds to be some of a threat from his past experiences), and mean does. He may

look a bit creepy to some, but under his mask is a kind, yet sensitive buck.

If he is interested in meeting your deer, but is feeling shy, he will seem to linger nearby, or stand off

to a distance and observe.

Just to let you know, I've

Just to let you know, I've been making some steps to learn more about css by testing the bio a bit. I hope that's ok! Because I know how much work it was to send it to me! And I thank you so much for that again, HolyMaria! ^o^ You've been such an enormous help with both of my deer's bios and being an oppourtunity for me to learn about css... WOW css!!! That's what I'd like to say about it, because it's been very interesting, confusing, and fun to learn at the same time! It's not going to be completely changed up a bit, because I'm still trying to figure that out. But it will have all the same basic shapes and designs that it came with. Smiling And I couldn't have had awesome bios or learned about it if it weren't for you!!!! *nuzzles*

Would I ever!!! Yes, please!!

Would I ever!!! Yes, please!! I would love that, since there are too many things going on for Spartak right now, a scroll would be perfect for that box! Smiling And thank you! I tryed to match it with his colors and personality, but it still needs a lot of work on the text, and I don't know how to get the text boxes transparent.

Ah, excuse my double comment. My internet likes to mess with me XD

Here is the code!

 border-radius:25px; -moz-box-shadow:0px 0px 5px 2px #000000;

 overflow-x:hidden; text-align:right; color:#CCCCCC">
Enter your text here
</div>
I can also tell you how to disable singatures and avatars in comments. I do it almost always for my CSS's, because I'm a pedant. Just if you would like to know.
And take it just as a suggestion, I think that some texture background would look better than the one you have. Just suggestion. Can help with anyway, thought. I was also told that we should not have autoplay on our pages because it can cause problems.
I can generate for you the known player I have for example on Jennie's page. And if you're interested in overlapping picture I have on Jennie's bio, I can do that too.
I'll try what can I do about the transparency. Eye

It's fine! I'll learn how to fix it eventually! And thank you for the scroll box, that will come in handy. I don't know where I can find a textured background, but I'll look for one. Thanks, but you're even more awesome! I'm just a noob at css for now! Smiling

Yep, he saw Calder in his dream, but he was the only one of them without black eyes--his were white. And Calder was the only one looking slightly away from Spartak, while the rest seemed to be mindlessly staring at him. There was also one fawn in his dream as well, the only zombified fawn he saw.

In fact, Calder has no real eyes. He has two red shining dots. Strange, huh? Was it really him in the dream?
Really interesting, thought!
DeerUniverse's picture

woah..that is strange!

woah..that is strange! everything was just in black and white in his dream, so his eyes must have been red, but just to Spartak they had no color. yes, it was! And the deer who gave Spartak his full set was there, too! He was sitting on the ground, but Spartak could still see him between all the legs of the deer standing up.

And I think I just realized, my Vital Stats box is leaking....how could I get it back to normal-looking again? Sad

Hey there! Just gonna quote

Hey there! Just gonna quote something because I think we played together the other day;
"Later Spartak played with another doe, who had a very interesting pictogram...it almost looked like a face if you looked at it upside down. She had wanted to skip around in circles everywhere, and Spartak thought it would be better if he shape-shifted into a fawn to keep up."

I've got some screenies just in case =D I'm the deer with the black/white orca fur and real deer mask.



If we did end up playing together, thank you for the wonderful time!

Well it just won't be Calder if he won't have his appeareance, so I used some glitch xD
Simply if you go to the De Drinkplaats, you might feel like the load and save buttons dissappeared but they're still there, but invisible. If you go with your mouse slowly from down to up, (from text "Connecting simply connects..." up) once the leaf turns into an arrow you are hovering above Load button. Be slow and careful. Might happen that you click save instead of load, which will lead in you losing your set. I was brave enough to do that because I knew I have DotD mask and grey pelt on one account already, so I knew that if I will lose I will transfer it back!

Holy cow that sounds dangerous! Shocked glad you still have your set! xD If I'm feeling brave enough, I might do that, but it'll be with Nireda instead...
