Having come across so many deer with "true forms" or forms other than the in game deer appearance in blogs-bios-etc, I decided to swing my new fawns character design in a peculiar direction as his experiences have happened to lead us.
Point: Hototo perceives true forms within the forest. Example: Illrose=dragon.
(You may read up on why if you would like, be sure to check both
Thoughts and most informative:
In-Forest Updates.)
I am truly curious and would like to see if we can't pull this off, since Hototo is an almost exclusive in-game RP deer with no verbalization. He wont tell your secret to anyone, but he will interact with each of you in a unique way in-forest.
What that means is in order to be included in the role I would like him to play, I need you to include us first by letting me know if your deer has a true form and perhaps even providing a link to your bio and most importantly, a PICTO. I want to learn about you. I need to be able to recognize you.
Granted, this might just mean he runs away at first. But as he grows, he will become accustomed to these strange apparitions that so many of you have created, and even learn to respect-fear-love many creatures for what they truly are.
True forms aren't as deep as it goes. I know there are deer that are monsters that the forest is changing into something new as well. But for now, lets just pull back the first veil, if you are willing...
Allow us to see.
Be well.
-Emily, Toya, Hototo.

Thank you, I have catalogued
The picto is correct In
In regards to her human ref that is not my work I gave credti to the artist.
heh, you already found his
just go on you two, will be interesting to see what you come up with <3
edit: and sorry, i just noticed your coment now |D
Quad is usually a blackbuck
But either way if it's too complicated, just consider him to be a deer/antelope. Doesn't really matter to me
My deer isn't fully developed

Tracking this for later :3Edit: My deer Phaios and Endriaga are charaters I pulled from a roleplaying continuity that went down some years ago. Phaios belonged to a species created for that continuity - something between a greyhound and a cheetah (more canine). Endriaga was basically a miniature dragon. They were (and are) a team, though I can't play them together in the Forest very well.
What about deer that had a
As for the others...
Hope has two forms...deer and human. He was born as a deer, but can change into a human form at will. I'm not sure which would be his "true" form, though...possibly the deer form, since that is how he was born and it's more natural for him.
Melinoe is kind of a demi-goddess. She can take on other forms, but her true form doesn't have a body. It might just look like...a mix of darkness and light...or something...I'm really not sure. So I'm not sure how this would work with her. But I don't use her in-forest very often, so the chances of running into her are pretty small.
Faunet: I saw that. I like
AliceV: Is Jack a trapped madman or a ghost? (or the ghost of a madman...) See you in the forest
Quadraptor: Oy, thats excellent. What is most likely is that Hototo may always perceive Quad as a wolf, or at least some semblance of, even when he is in deer/antelope form. Peripherally, getting caught up in the rockhound event is the cause of all of this.
Zyzzy: HAH. I love me my Dr. Who marathons. I have got Zyzzy down as being a Dr. Who "Archetype".
Phaios: I would call Phaios a Chimera if I ever saw one. Not the old mythical beast, but the term is accurate. What a curious creatura combination. Does she still have those wings? As for Endriaga, How small is a miniature dragon anyhow? Is she somewhat salamander-esque? Or has she got that long traditional dragon neck?
Nuevapaz: I believe that if they were originally human, some of that energy would likely carry over, but not with much intensity. Likely only if they did have memories of their past lives. Who is to say Hototo himself did not have a past life? But because he does not remember anything like that, I would consider him without any other form.
I have interpreted Hope as a changeling deer-kiirin; having the ability to take on a human form. I think that would be perceptible, but possibly not so dissonant with the forests reality as some other human forms may be.
As for Melinoe I believe that Hototo, being a wild creatura and part of the chaotic elegance of nature, may be able to comprehend a life/death energetic being such as that, tangible or not. No need to even visualize it, a true form is a true form. Also noted: "Guardian of the dead".
P.S. Drawring all y'alls pictos and details on paper. Thinking about possibly doodling a few true forms as well. Maybe. No promises. ;p
And also: Where are all the demons? I know you are out there.

P.S. All of these bios I
weeeell... ... i had to put
... i had to put up some complicated story to explain why the hell he is here xD
okay short summary: his body is in a state of coma in the 'human world' while his mind is trapped in this deer body / avatar.
the time in the human world flows slower than here so i don't have to worry that his body dies while he is here xD
when the 'avatar' dies he can return into his own world and body...
... and recently he discovered another 'mental connection' to his own world... but he has not a real idea for now what this means (...just means i haven't written the stories for that by now ^^; )
eeeh ya. hope that helps (and is what you actually wanted to know xD )
How about a

Jakob StraussHuman (Coma) in(sane)"Pegasicorn: Yes thank you! Werewolf sums up both human and wolf forms quite nicely. I wonder about the wolf-deer around here. Is there a bit of cognitive dissonance going on for them? I would think so.
SnowSauria: Tra la la (ACK-ACK-huge-dragon-woah). I find it amusing that even though Illrose is one of the more terrifying creatures, because of the way things played out in-forest, she may be the only true form Hototo doesn't fear right now. ;p

Bartholomew is technically
As a side note, he has a great aversion to his true for being revealed.
AliceV: will do. Ocean:
Ocean: Thank you thank you. Good thing Hototo can't talk. Bartholomew's secret is safe. <3
Yes, it's a rather
No, Phaios does not have her wings in-Forest; they have been reduced to markings on her shoulders (Endriaga's have as well). Most of their abilities have been neutralized in order to fit into the Forest.
Handy-dandy size chart, AHOY!
The description for Endriaga's species was "basically a tiny alligator with wings." Her neck is a little squattier than "traditional," and her face is more snub-nosed than elegant. Her tail is longer and slimmer, though. That pencil sketch was actually based on a common green lizard, which is pretty close to the mental image I get for her character design.
Phaios was originally 3'8" at her shoulder. Endriaga stood around 2' when she was perched on her hind legs like a meerkat. There are numbers (in feet/inches) on that chart, but I know they're a little small.
"I wonder about the wolf-deer around here. Is there a bit of cognitive dissonance going on for them? I would think so."
Although technically a carnivore, Phai's species didn't need to eat to live - and she never liked to.
Well... I'm still working

Well Melinoe is actually
Amary and Oisín are the ones who were human in their past lives. Oisín has some memories of his past life, but they are mostly vague. Amary isn't even aware of having had a past life, though she sometimes gets strange "feelings."
Phalos: Righto! thanks for
Isatia: Nice picto! Was she an ungulate type unicorn (deer/goat-like) Or the equine variety (horse-like)?
I would imagine an ungulate, unicorn or deer, would all be fairly comfortable here in the forest together. I know there are a few kiirins too.
Nuevapaz: I wrote Amay and Oisin down even though they don't remember. Mostly so I know who they are and can recognize you in-forest! Thanks for sharing them, I still feel like having a past life might still leave an echo on a deer, but not as strong an odor as something with an active alternate or true form, or clear memories of past lives. I think its alot of variety on an individual basis.
If past life leaves an echo,
And also one that was a dragonfly in his past life - Blue.

Isaita: Righto, I hope you have fun putting together all of the puzzle pieces. Unicorns can sometimes be very complicated creatures, but I hear that under normal circumstances they have no regrets. Though I know one or two that do.
They completely remember
