Rain/fog/twilight or not he may decide to go hunting if he gets hungry enough and the right prey presents itself. Otherwise he'll be saving his appetite for the hunting party later this month.
info on the HUNTING
The forest has been so active lately and it's helping the nameless one to wake up.... however, waking up means he's gotten rather HUNGRY. If you don't mind having a bite taken out of your deer here or there, feel free to walk up and taunt him. >:D He's up for a good chase & munch. (assuming I can get my framerate to NOT crash horribly into the negatives...) He's been sleeping for a VERY long while, so he's a little bit rusty and probably won't manage to take anything completely down this time around.
However for the most part he is feeling a bit lazy, so he probably won't chase after anything unless really invited to do so.
hunting behavior is explained a bit below.

enter the forest. Awoken from his slumber by the tension in the air, the turning of the seasons, and some ancient call that beckons him to rise. He assumes a form similar to the creatures around him to the limit of his desire - for he cares not if his mimicry is exact, only that he is able to somewhat relate to the minds that have drawn him awake. He is water, he is earth, within this form is life... and also death... for all is a part of the forest.
¤ | In Forest: zombie pelt, default antlers (often with flowers in them...), skull mask or real deer mask
¤ somewhat deer-like in shape, though larger than most stags and very muscular - occasional tendrils of... vines? ... can be seen on the surface of his skin threading their way back into obscurity - they move. He sports a long mane of silken moss like hair that trails down his neck and back all the way to the end of his long tail, and is caught up and tangled in his polished curving horns. His mane rather often carries bits of foliage that catch themselves there... or grow in place. His underbelly is covered in scales of shades of green and brown though often there will be seen flickering hues of color like polished stones of all colors glimmering in the sunlight.
¤ his face and jaw are somewhere between deer-like and draconic - a long nearly black tongue and a mouth full of sharp fangs may be seen when he yawns... or calls out - a thing which sounds less like it rumbles through the air, and more as though it vibrates out from the earth and trees around him; it is deep and primal and has more than one or two tones to its voice - his voice speaks to the deepest rock and root of the wood.
¤ his eyes are not often seen through the mane that drifts over his forehead, but those who have seen them either speak of depths like unfathomable pools of sunlight - or do not speak at all and simply tremble in terror at the memory.
¤ on sunlit days he will often be found basking either by the pond, in random patches of sunlight, or in the stream by the bridge. he swims/floats/drifts around in water almost like a crocodile with his mane trailing in the water around him like great mats of watermoss and will lounge there now and then when he is feeling too warm. The sun makes him sluggish and peaceful.
¤ in the fog and rain or twilight hours he will often be seen roaming the forest at his most active, and may hunt at these times, though what he hunts depends on his mood and the general mood of the forest dwellers around him- when the forest is peaceful he will browse on decaying plants and the decomposing bodies of forest critters who have passed on. when there are great amounts of fear or anger in the air his desires become much more carnal. ( watch out )
¤ the cold is his enemy and he loathes it. on slightly snowy days he may be seen but will most likely be very slow and irritable or even unresponsive. He will either seek out a tree to wrap himself into or the company of warm bodies to lay beside - his very presence can be healing to those he seeks out as a resting companion, as his powers are very much within the realm of life and death. On cold winter days in the forest he will not rise at all, and if seen outside of the tree he was attempting to reach for shelter he will appear as though dead. Eating his flesh when he is found in this state however has been known to cure many diseases and wounds, and even bring the dead back to life (when applied properly) - but it is not often that he will be found outside a tree when the winter comes. (it requires very special circumstances or something of great disruption to rouse him during the cold - and he will die in it very quickly.) when the weather warms again he will simply grow - like a tree - until fully healed and recovered. He does not bleed when wounded, he simply grows back together - though how quickly will depend on how sluggish he is at the time.
¤ The nameless one considers the other deer around him more as potential 'food' than anything else, please don't be offended if it takes a long while for him to truly become fond enough of any particular deer to view them otherwise. He does NOT eat fawns (they are too small and 'gamey' for his tastes) and is often rather amused by them or very tolerant of their actions around him. he IS open to 'sparring' with stags in the forest though not participating in the rut (Hahahahahahahahha *laughs off a log at the very thought*) but don't expect him to back down easily - he is a rather large/strong/and tough character.
Throughout the month of October, (and possibly longer, depending) he will be stalking the forest as his moods see fit, and interacting with deer in many different ways. Screencaps shall be taken and EDITED for the joy of it, illustrations drawn, and perhaps a story told. Those who approach him will be treated respectfully, however his moods may change abruptly - if you are not opposed to violence/fighting/impromptu interactions or storyline with him feel free to post here and I will try and keep track of the deer it is alright for him to eat interact with. < >.< >

None yet. It takes a while.
Actions/Reactions:
pawing the ground + rearing + bellowing | proclaiming his presence or showing frustration/moodiness. Sometimes done just because he is getting a good stretch in and 'feeling' the forest around him. This MAY ALSO be done as his HUNTING call - YOU are potential FOOD.
walking/halting alternatingly with some head shaking and 'stumbles' | if he's heading towards a tree this most likely means he is too cold and trying to get to 'safety'. The cold makes him slower and this frustrates him. Getting between him and his tree at this point is VERY dangerous even though he is also at his weakest in the cold.
Hunting Behaviors Explained:
the nameless one's hunts always begin with a good stretch and some pawing at the ground, cleaning his hooves, and sharpening horns on various rocks and trees. He will usually rear and stomp and paw and work up some speed by running around the pond a few times too. Then he'll start sniffing around the forest for someone something that smells eatable. When he picks a victim to chase he'll start rearing & bellowing and then go off like a shot. If anyone comes up to taunt him they do automatically become a meal option (fawns excluded.... they are really too small to be worth his time so he doesn't consider them eatable) - so don't be surprised if he gets awfully vicious if you invite him to have a snack. The amount of damage you take will be up to you...
Currently his hunting skills are: gaining a bit as he's getting his legs stretched and remembering his old tricks. However, the forest is in a rather cheerful mood lately - so he MAY NOT be going for kills, just a bite here and there to find out what flavor options abound... however if you do decide to kill of a random deer feel free to offer it up. It will be delightedly stuffed under a log by the pond and eaten once good and juicy. >:D
more to come as they require explanation...

*hehehe* He was a little distracted as there were so many deer following him. He may take more of an interest if there are less deer around to require his attention.. (also I had to leave too soon to be able to haul light's fluffy backside in at the time *lol*)
Bah, lappy hates me today. Hopefully we'll be around tomorrow to see if anything interesting makes its way into the forest. *ninjadeersaround*
