A Little About Me...
...because I want to know you.
What am I?
What is anything,
what is everything?
What is age
when time means
nothing?
What is love when
you love all, yet
none?
What is courtesy,
when it is your
way of living?
What is language,
when you do not
speak it?
What is happiness,
when you can find it in
so much?
What is loss,
when you aren't even
sure what you lost?
What is beauty,
when you are beautiful
in different ways?
What is a pictogram,
when it spells out
everything about
its owner?
What do you
long for, when
you have nothing
yet everything?
What is faith,
when you long
for something yet
cannot have it?
What is a name,
the object of beauty,
when you do
not have one?
What is peace,
when you feel
it thrumming in
the fibers of the
forest?
What is precious
to a stag who
cannot hold the
beauty of flowers
upon his antlers?
What is sadness,
when the Gods
have punished you
for something you
never knew you did?
What is violence,
when you are
afraid...
but feel that
there is something
familiar?
What is fear,
when one can
see it within
others, but it
can so easily
be proved
wrong?
What makes you
you, when you
feel you are
like them,
yet they believe
that you are
much different?
I speak...
...without words.
My antlers are stained in blood, and I cannot clean them.
It was a lovely day, of course. It began well, with great company and warm bodies. It was much appreciated in the snow, my friends. Will this storm ever end? I worry. For now, I will strive to keep you all warm.
Later, after a long sleep, I awoke to...something. I found my hooves brought me to the Oak. Someone was there, hovering above a tiny fellow. 'Small', the tiny fellow's pictogram pronounced him. That other one...he radiated bad feeling. Something about him seemed wrong.
Another was there. I have heard him called Esll, his pictogram calling him gentleman. He was the first to chase off the other. Without thinking, I too aimed my antlers at the other.
Confusion followed. I do not remember what happened. I believe I stood over the little one, Whyss.
Blood. My antlers bore...blood? Little Whyss was so thankful, that...perhaps I did what was right?
He was gone so quickly, the little one, and Esll as well. I found myself glancing at a doe far away from me, yet watching me closely.
I stood to bow, and her fear was clear. She was frightened of me?
She fled from the very sight of me.
I cannot even describe how terrible that sight was.
I care not for other company my friends. I hope you understand.
I wonder if I have forgotten.
.:.:.:.:.:.
Hm. Where to start with this? At the beginning, of course.
Well, I began my day with seeing Sithrim and Maia's new fawns. Such sweet little children, and a lovely day to be born on. Tulips and mushrooms were in full bloom today, created by the...Gods. Congratulations, you two! Their pictograms promise great things.
It is so good to see new life in the forest once again.
Next, I toured this "new" forest, stopping to try and smell the giant tulips. I found myself much too short. Ah well; their scent was very clear in the air around them.
Finding myself at the giant oak, I wondered at the deer inside. She, I assume, seemed to be fighting with another of my kind, but I thought it only in play. Once the others were gone, I approached. She cowered at me...Cowered. I tried so many more times to approach, but each one met with being reared at.
Eventually, she came to me. She and her friend roared at me, for some reason that I could not ascertain.
She sniffed me, but when I went to do the same, she fled, leaving me confused.
Thankfully, another deer was there. He gave me flowers, cheering me up instantly. It drew me away from that one do.
That one simple act led to hours of companionship and happiness, until he eventually left. What a kind soul. I am eternally grateful.
Next I found a rather lonely little soul. She calls herself Mie. Her pictogram speaks to me as "lost". I found her a very kind soul (and quite warm). Her companionship was much appreciated as well. Hopefully we will see each other again.
When she disappeared, as many do, I found the one called Virgil. I had to stifle a laugh at his lack of antlers, though he seemed quite a calm and wise fellow, his pictogram calling him "noble". Noble, hm?
Ahh, Kaoori joined us soon after. Again, I found myself stifling a laugh at her newest pelt color. My dear, you seem to be taking it well! You even cast the same color upon me, and we shared a good laugh.
I fell asleep, exhausted, only to wake to a clone! How strange, the ways of the Gods. It still startles me to find an exact copy laying beside myself.
I bid them goodbye and went to lay with the lonely yet sweet Mie. She is quiet company, but all the better to reflect on the day's events. Ah! It seems we have been joined by one of her acquaintances, a lovely doe. I can feel the added warmth as I doze. Hello there!
It is Valentine's day, is it not? The day of Love? Hmm. Well...The perfume in the air seems to speak of it. It certainly is a beautiful day.
I wish you luck in finding love, my young ones.
.:.:.:.:.:.
I wonder when I became so awkward around named deer. Normally they pull me to them...Perhaps it is only today.
I woke up to a group of them, dancing right above my head. The vibrations startled me, but I still remained courteous...And got one bow in return. Perhaps they did not see me.
I walked off to be alone, ending up in a patch of purple flowers.
I sat for some time, looking at the sky. My thoughts ranged far...ending on my past. For some reason, I feel there was something more than the dull past that I remember.
I wonder.
Ah well. Everything will be fine tomorrow.
.:.:.:.:.:.
Valentine's Day? A Valentine's Dance? I have heard so much about it in the past few days. It seems the forest has come alive with talk of it.
I did not go. I suppose I didn't see much purpose in it. Who would see me as anything but an anonymous bystander?
Well...I heard it was quite enjoyable. I saw the aftereffects of it, the turned up dirt, grass destroyed. Hm.
I spent my day enjoying the sunshine, warming me to my core. The sun glinted off of everything, though the pond was like a mirror-one could clearly see themselves if they just looked.
I did, and wondered at what I found.
I fell asleep not much later, lulled into relaxation by the sun.
And I continued to wonder, when did I become so tired...?
.:.:.:.:.:.
It is strange to think that one as old as I am can learn so much. Yet, I always am, constantly learning about the new residents of the forest, more.
Today was a day of meetings. I met so many today.
I have heard tell that the first I met goes by Doctor Dumaya. Did you know, sir, that your pictogram reveals things contrary to the first impression you gave me? It calls you dark, a bit evil. A bit insane. Yet, you only came off as friendly, perhaps a little wild, to me.
I admit that my head felt a little...fuzzy, after all those mushrooms...
Next came a rather frightful looking creature, but with a soul so kind and loving that I could not resist sticking by her side. Your pictogram calls you 'enlightened', a little bird. I believe that you fit that.
We spent much time together, this ungendered being that I have heard called Atvana. It taught me much, strange things like sitting upon the air as a cushion. Strange things, but so fun. It even introduced me to a few of its friends, as kind and joyous as this being was. I believe they were called Tails, Finata, and Kalpita. Your pictograms are lovely, saying quite interesting things about you. It was good to find such joyous souls still inhabit this forest.
Some time later, the being Atvana and I entered the pond. I have always love the smoothness of the water as it so gently strokes my now frog-like skin. It's such a calm, cool place, especially in summer.
As frogs, we proceeded to croak at others on the edges, jumping wildly into and out of the pond. It has been so long since I did that, but by the Gods, it was surely fun.
When it was over, Atvana and I sat at the edge of the pond, relaxing in the early spring sun and light wind. I let myself grow distant, instead fading into the scenery.
When I looked back, the enlightened being was gone.
.:.:.:.:.:.
Such a beautiful glow, the one that darts above your antlers. It flits like a captured firefly, spelling out exotic sounds that only one of us can pronounce.
Let me come a little closer...
Ah, hello. You are another resident of this lovely forest, so kind to me. I cannot pronounce your name, but it is beautiful, swirling and diving into a melodic rhythm.
We dance. Some might say that I don't act my age, but what is age in an endless forest, where time has and always will continue?
Age doesn't matter when your time will never come.
Am I immortal because I have no name?
I leave you to travel somewhere else, but I do not doubt that I will see you again. After all, I have all the time in the world.
Beautiful design! (:
Thanks! I've been attempting

Stupid unrelated question,
And yay for nameless chars. Lovely bio setup too.
Out of curiosity, was this
@VCG, Spyrre, Danni: Thank
@Unplugged: EEP. I just realized that I forgot to give you credit for your awesome CSS, and I forgot to give credit to the person who made the brushes. The background, however, was made by me in GIMP with use of brushes by Hawksmont . And thank you for the compliment! ^^
@Seed: Hm. Maybe, but I don't really remember. D: I just know that I've seen Krym around.
Also. I want to thank Hubalaboo [I believe it was you that had a nameless] & the person who had a project with 5 nameless deer with different personalities. I loved those characters and thought they were awesome. :3 They helped inspire me. ^^
Pfft. I don't mind at all.
Psh, well, I'm going to do it
It's helped a lot! [Besides, I looked on the internet once, and couldn't understand what they were saying. >>]
I am fascinated.
Thank you.
A nameless character? Neat.
Thanks Paz. ^^
Hey Ocean how do you play a
That's what I had to do,
That's what I thought. :c
&& completely unrelated note: seshi/furfur miss Ama. :c

Aww. D: Ama'd love to see Seshi/Furfur again. <3
This CSS Makes it very hard

;-; I had hoped it looked

*After waiting for it to get
It's a window about four inches high that shows everything. It starts from the top and scrolls verryyyy slowly to the bottom... Through the whole page. If you put your cursor over it, it stops. If you move away, it continues. Aside from that, it goes from the start of the page all the way to the last comment on it.
The little box for N's information is intact. Once the page scrolls to that point, I can pause it and scroll in his little box all I want. Once the page scrolls down, I can't go back up though. :c
Hmm. It must have something
Let me try taking that out. Will you let me know if that helps? ^^
Thanks for telling me. <3
It is completely fixed. And
