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

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.

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.

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.

@Flyleaf: It's great to see

@Flyleaf: It's great to see you again too, Fly! ^^ Although I'm not here as often anymore, I'll try to keep up everything best I can.

@Fainalotea: (I'm sorry if I spelled that wrong ;;) thank you so much, dude! x) My very first male character. His mask has now literally become a part of him; of his face. It is slowly turning to flesh, trying to match up with his skin and fur. The spirit inside of the mask has become one with him, as well.
Although he has tried many times to beat down the dark feelings produced by the mask, it is random, and takes him over unexpectedly, at any time.

@cloudandis: It's been a long time, friend! how are you? I would love to roleplay ( Idk when though, because I have to work over spring break /:/ ) I missed you, too. I seem to miss a bunch of stuff and people when I leave :*/

Hey.


Do you remember me?
And.........have you read this?
I don't know if you happened to see it or what...but it explains my feelings and other mushy stuff that's kind of important...and why I've been gone for months. (you don't have to read if you don't want to...)

I had brief visit with the handsome and famous Spartak before he dissolved into thin air ;_;
But I'm glad I had the privilege to see him again at least, hah.
btw, his bio is even more amazing and mood-setting than ever o_o

Hey!

How could I forget you, Daninator? Laughing out loud
Haha! Yes, he was very excited to see her, too. He had to leave because I had to leave. Forest is uber glitchety today for some reason. And...was it just me or did you see that giant, antlerless crying mask doe sitting at the foot of the Twins this morning? o-o
Creepy and yet so interesting. Was it a god? Will we ever know?
