January 7, 2010 - 7:39am — Volos
I decided to do a first-time biography for my character, Volos. He's not very well developed yet, so please go easy on me. ^^; He will get better in time, I promise!
---
Name: Volos
Gender: Male
Current State: Fawn
Name Origins:
Volos was inspired by the Slavic god, Veles, god of the underworld. It is said that Veles viewed the world as a giant tree, with Perun, the thunder-god, taking the form of a hawk at the top and Veles, taking the form of a serpent, at the bottom. This is why Volos, my character, will be near the Old Oak from time to time.
Background:
Volos was born heir to Veles, god of the underworld, living under the Old Oak tree in the Forest. Many have said it is only a legend, but the son of the god of the underworld, guardian of the roots, was born.
However, he is the complete opposite of his father, not wanting to become the next "Veles" ... only wanting to be a part of the peaceful Forest community. He is only a fawn now, but destiny will catch up to him, causing him to take the appearence of his father, a deer with a skull face, large horns, scaley skin, and a long, serpent-like tail. It was only a matter of time.
Volos vowed that even if he was to take this form, he would never harm another deer as long as he lived, and will live peacefully with the others.

Well, that's all for now. I'll update this when I'm able to fix it up a little more. =)
