I've wanted to tell Saosin's story for many years now. It took me a long time to feel like I could actually do it some justice, and when my friend R suggested that we have our old characters reunite I could think of no better way than to have it be narrated by her doe. And so here it is.

For members who may be new or unfamiliar with my character's story this post might be a little hard to fully comprehend, so here's a brief summary of my journey;
I created Saosin back in 2010. Back then I didn't have him pieced out as a character yet, I just knew that I wanted him to be red, smell of the sea, have a volatile and deeply passionate personality, and also that his name translated to "little heart". Little by little, I shaped him based on not only characters and players that I met but the concept of the game itself; the crying idol pelt, the poppies, the red pond and falling petal weather changes. Since I happened to arrive around the time that Baal shook the community with his story about the killing of a fawn, I found it to be the perfect catalyst for my unruly character's creation. In the beginning, Saosin made more foes than friends. Soon after arriving however, he met R. Canonically R is the bible of the forest, described best by the quote "her pelt is stained with the ink of all recorded history". Even the fact that she has the face of a deer rather than human pertains, considering that the very first TEF game concept featured regular deer. Our characters met in the rain and fell for one another fast, with all the ups and downs of young love. Despite eventually parting ways, Saosin never stopped longing to be with her. He found solace in his rival and equal, The Red, who years later passed. He made many other friends in his lifetime, such as the duo Riptail and Cutlass, whose close relationship he admired, and Spyrre, who stood out to him because of her overwhelming goodness and light. She ended up joining him in his return to the idol on his supposed passing in 2017 when I felt that his story had come to a depressive standstill.

I'm so happy to have my stag back now. I'm looking forward to creating new memories with him again. For now he will be regrowing his crown.

Characters featured here belongs to R, Wayfarer, Spyrre, Baal, Quamar and ratt. To you and frankly everyone who was around at the time, thank you for making my experiences in this small community so amazing, inspiring and full of love and growth.

Oh, and of course Saosin immediately went back to collect the most loyalest of little deer, his most treasured friend - and now squeaky clean - the one and only Spyrre!
