Eris (bio and further happenings)

Cheerful, sociable, prone to loneliness. When it bares its teeth he finds solace in the embrace of his cage.

Eris is a fawn of small stature, hazy gray eyes and a small bend to the tips of his ears. He spends his mornings exploring the forest in search of playmates but oftentimes returns to his spot in the graveyard alone. He sleeps there, listening to the song of the forest most of his time, though his mind is easily diverted by company. His closest companion is his brother, Saater, from whom he's learning the ways of the forest. Their play sessions are his favourite activity and meeting other deer through him is much simpler. He also loves bending his shape, into animals at De Drinkplaats or by sitting inside of things he can find around the forest. He smells of dry grass, dirt and wildflowers.

As a human he was weak and frail but those ailments did not haunt him into this life. His fear of abandonment and fire remain, though he does not know where they stem from. At least the magic candles some deer brandish don't register as a threat anymore.

Satruna - Wandering through a strange new land towards hope...

Hail, fellow deer!

My name is Satruna (Taylor). I'm an ecocentric writer, naturalist and artist from the UK. I recently discovered The Endless Forest and have swiftly fallen in love, though I haven't played much yet. If interested, I created a video on my YouTube channel Thitherword, which captures my first experiences in the game: https://youtu.be/s32-oSY-AIM?si=CUTP-V0tRmZuQ2oa

I'm looking forward to learning more about this wondrous world and meeting new people. Indeed, I've not felt so enthusiastic about an online game since I entered Azeroth (World of Warcraft) in 2006, when I was only thirteen. Though I don't play anymore, the time I spent as a Night Elf shaped my life so completely that I eventually went on to write about these changes for the ecocentric journal The Ecological Citizen, of which I'm now a part. I have even made the other editors of the journal aware of TEF. From what I've read and played of TEF, I have great respect for the developers' ethos of wonder, mystery, silence and adventure.

My deer shares his name with an enigmatic being who takes the shape of a deer in my fantasy world-building project.

Saater's bio

I apologize for my ugly English.
___________________________________

Appearance:

Saater by me
Saater-FernelescentArt by Fernelescent


Nature: The soul of a dead man in the body of a deer with a human face.

Name: Saater. It was a word he remembered from the first time he woke up in the Forest. Maybe it wasn't a first name, but a surname. Or maybe it was the name of his best friend or his cat.

Gender: Male. He has trouble adjusting to his deer form, so he avoids romance.

Age: Saater died as a human when he was 21 years old. He is now an immortal creature and is able to change his age at will: he can be old, an adult, or a fawn.

Sign: Possibly Pisces. Saater can't remember what day he was born when he was human, and he hasn't found any recognizable constellations in the sky in the Endless Forest.

Character Traits: He is very kind, trustful,, compassionate and empathetic, but carries a hidden pain in his heart. He suffers from bipolar disorder: sometimes he is active, cheerful and playful, sometimes he is melancholic and unsociable. Believes in God. Fatalist.

Saater (we'll call him that) grew up with loving parents in a world similar to ours. He was thoughtful, empathetic, friendly but a little cowardly. Avoided conflict, loved poetry, philosophy and music. He had an older brother, weak from birth, who was seriously ill. Saater was very attached to him. Overcoming his cowardice, he always defended him and read poetry to him at home. Saater had true friends - schoolmates. They were almost inseparable. He liked one girl, but he was afraid to admit his sympathy for her.

Who is Fey Brother? A note from his creator

When it comes to Theodor-Phillip, it's important to separate what he *thinks* he is and what is actually going on.

He sees himself as this "Forest Merry Spirit", an eternal entity that possesses body after body and needs physical form as a vessel.
This is only a response to traumatic events he witnessed as a fawn. Many fawns lose their mothers at a young age, and Theo wasn't an exception. The picture of a dead doe he beloved shocked the guy, but he was still too little to proceed those feelings.
He just kinda... moved on. Surviving was his top priority, and slowly but surely the grief was supressed. That's when the whole Forest Spirit thing started.
Instead of considering himself an orphan on his own, Theo decided to be optimistic and say he's a child of the Forest. That is also the reason why he sees Forest as a female. Being her ambassador gives Brother Theo a meaning in life, which he otherwise would've lost long time ago. "What do you do if you *don't* make everyone happy all the time", right?
Of course he does not possess multiple bodies: it's just a dissosiation from fatigue he gets from time to time (it's not easy dancing that much!). He might even realize that. But what harm does that little play pretend make? So what if it's not real -- it sooths him and then he does good deeds to others.

In the end does ot really matter if you're a Forest Spirit or just some random deer?
