AXIS

(Healing had taken place in the forest on 10.14.13 from the healer Verna, Anker being present to oversee the process. Healing RP in text here.)
Mood: frightened, uneasy, anxious
Thoughts: "Get it away from me! It's attacking my head! "
Fact: Oaxis has developed Ornithophobia; the fear of birds
Story: Oaxis was born here. Anker was there the day he was born, along with the giant crow of TEF and three other curious fawns. Oaxis took a liking to Anker, and they've been friends ever since. The fawn was not born blind, however, 2 weeks after he had come into the forest, he had gotten a deep gash from a tree branch in his left side, causing an infection that left him permanently blind.

Gender: Male
Age: young teen
Forest Birthday: Sept. 17, 2013
Size: #13
Voice: Speaks in: #678900,
sounds like Asa Butterfield
Set: ripped flesh pelt, space beluga antlers, crying mask given to him by the awesome Raktea (used to have the fawn's striped blue pelt, but grew up with it on, and received flesh pelt from BZD)
Species: Roe deer
Haunts: by tree he was born under, with Anker


Personality


skittish | bashful | playful | sensitive | loving | respectful | protective | easily hurt or offended | blind as a bat | naturally scared of unknown deer | upset when one of his friends leave | shy | defensive and highly aware of his surroundings out of habit | always trying to see things without his eyes | uncomfortable around large groups; too many smells and sounds
  • Oaxis is blind; therefore he cannot see you, or anybody, let alone anything
  • his eyes are vacant and dark, instead of a normal light color from being blind
  • as a result of one of his senses going out, his others have perked up, e.i., hearing, smell, touch
  • Respects all deer, but will become defensive if provoked
  • socially awkward (it backfires on him)
  • it may look as if Oaxis is staring at you, but he is just placing the sound that your deer makes in relation to where you are so he can find you
  • loves to roll around in the dirt
  • sits near trees more often than not
  • would rather run than skip, but now that he has become blind, he is more cautious around heavily wooded areas, only comfortable places he knows the best
  • if Oaxis becomes scared of your deer when you first meet or approach him, that is normal because he cannot see what you look like--PLEASE DO NOT BE OFFENDED
  • Oaxis turns his head a lot to position his ears
  • perks up ears often, sniffs often, moos often to communicate to figure out surroundings and different deer that are around him
  • doesn't bow much, but when he does, it's a sign that he thinks highly of you
  • trys to feel deers' faces by sniffing and/or nuzzling
  • will not bow to complete strangers
  • if you wish to lead Oaxis somewhere in the forest, it could be difficult because he cannot see your deer, or where they are going; he will follow you the best he can with scent and sound
  • his skin has turned dark from the dirt he rolls around in, and has many scars and scratches from his childhood of bumping into trees, tripping over rocks, and getting into spars with other deer
  • hates goodbyes; when one of his friends leaves, he will say goodbye, but not when he is leaving himself--cannot bear to say goodbye
  • when he meets someone new, he will sniff them and half-rear to say that he likes them
  • do NOT, whatever you do, touch him on the rump, he takes it as a threat
  • when he meets someone new, he will sniff them and back away to say that he doesn't like them
  • very sleepy after he has had a big run around with another deer
  • scared when a deer threatens to attack him or another around him, showing a display or a warning first
  • if he hears/smells Anker in the forest, he will go immediately to him for protection
  • a submissive male, but will still fight if he has to
  • skittish and naturally nervous because of his blindness-formed habits

Relations


Family: Unknown; orphan--but trusts Anker enough to be his father. Thinks of Nemesis as a sort of older sister because of the association with Anker.
Friends:
  • Anker - trusts with everything he has, like a father, will seek out; priority over everything else, loves to play with
  • Jennie - good friend, trusts; will seek out
  • Ivo - good friend, likes to play with, will seek out
  • Nemesis - good friend; associated with Anker; trusts, will seek out
  • Eleanor - trusts somewhat; has protected him once before. If Anker trusts her, then so will he. But if he doesn't, he will feel the same.
  • Beorn - Trusts somewhat, will seek out, likes to play with
  • Verna - has healed the deep gash in his side which caused him to be blind; trusts.
  • Elizire - a kind, sweet-smelling friend. Likes to sit with and let her lead him to places to sit down at.

    Acquaintances: Xan, Svitiplyn, Ben, Flyleaf, Kio, Lady in Red, Calder, Cassiopeia, Walter, Seed, Eleanor, Stymfalia, Folke, Brahma, Beorn, Reate, Poetic, Verna, Little Goat, Seed, Matthew, Hovis, Oseaan, Elzire, Zash, lots of other deer and fawns..
    Interested in: Stymfalia
    Enemies: crows
    Scared of: will still get intimidated by strange males who show signs of aggression; trys to hide the fact that he's intimidated by acting defensive (scared + angry), strange noises in unfamiliar places, and he is still a bit freaked out by not being able to see a thing; slowly getting used to it even though he's pretty much mastered being able to 'see' without his eyes through his other senses.


    Recently


    I had found Anker sitting by himself under the usual spot next to another sleeping deer. I nuzzled his neck and sat down next to him, yawned and rested my head on his back. I must have drifted off for awhile, because when I woke up again, I could hear the soft thumping of heavy hooves on the grass, and the faint snort of air that gets expelled from the nostrils after a brief run. How could you not shout in excitement when your best buddy offers you a romp-around?
    ~~~
    Anker made it clear that he wanted me to follow him, so I did. I began to catch a familiar scent the farther we walked, but it was mixed with another, unfamiliar, even musky odor that I didn't recognize.
    Nemesis, I discovered, was sitting next to.....
    A huge shadow passed over my eyes. My courage was short-lived, and I backed away in fear. You could smell the tension in the air around us. I could sense that Anker was somewhat disappointed in me. It felt great to meet Nem again, but we didn't stay long. Panic washed over me the moment I realized that gusts of wind were whooshing over my head, accompanied by little pricks and the flapping of wings. Hoovebeats of the ones sitting close by were now scattered everywhere, creating a chaos of noise. The bird kept swooping down at the space on top of my head between my antlers, trying to dig its sharp nails into my scalp.
    I was screaming now, sprinting wildly and bumping into trees and rocks to try to get away from the arial oppressor. In the distance, I picked up Anker's war cry. The bird was not flying after me anymore. It was...getting attacked by Anker! Finding the closest tree, I crouched down at the foot and listened to the scuffle. A few moments passed. It seemed as if Anker had won. Slowly, cautiously, I crept back. I was so pumped with adrenaline, I just started to notice something warm and sticky running down the middle of my face. I caught it in my mouth. Blood. I felt like crying. But a real buck never cries...so I kept quiet. Anker examined my scalp, gently licking the mess out of my fur and face. He was tense. It was time to go, before the bird came back.
    ~~~
    He led me, even quicker this time, up into the birch forest. Along the way, as the tall grass brushed up against our legs, he told me that the bird kept turning from a crow to a deer and back. But how? I wondered. It must be some sort of advanced magic. The thought scared me. For years, I thought this forest I lived in was safe.
    Anker found a cozy spot next to a tree with a large girth. For long time we stayed there, huddled next to each other in the most comfortable position. Until I felt a disturbance next to me. Anker had gotten up to pace, trampling the grass. I perked up my ears. It was back, and my wounds had not even gotten a chance to heal yet. This time, I ran right away. But instead of trying to attack just me, it targeted both of us. A foul stench filled my nostrils. I began to have a flashback of Anker and I walking in the Blue Bowl. I was young at the time, and I could still see. He was telling me all about which hazel. Although Anker's not typically the guy who would be interested in herbs, he seemed to know a lot about this one. Probably from Verna, which I hadn't met at the time, but soon would. He dug under a scraggly-looking bush with his snout. "Here," a muffled voice called to me. He dropped a curly, yellow ball at my hooves. I bent to sniff at it. The pungent smell caught me off guard, lost my footing, and flailed backwards into a blueberry bush. Anker laughed, and when I licked the dark blue stains out of my pelt, I laughed, too. My flashback was gone, and I remembered that I was hiding from the bird under a huge pile of rocks. I must have dove under this spot when I was having the flashback. My eyes shot open. The bird....smelled like which hazel. Not thinking clearly this time, I leaped out from behind the rocks and charged the bird, holding my breath. I felt my right fore hoof kick the bird from it's spot on the ground. Brilliant idea. Now it refocused its attention to me. A moment of silence, and now hoovebeats were following me instead of the flapping of wings. And then I did the unthinkable. I stopped, turned around, and tried to stare into what must have been its face. I used my best judgment.
    A sharp squeal pierced the air all of a sudden, followed by galloping of feet and the absence of the odd smell. I felt Anker's nose pressed against my face. I'm ok, I thought.
    The rest of the day was a blur to me; the reunion of my old friend Ivo, meeting a new deer, whose name was too difficult to say, which lead me to call him "Unun", and sleeping among the scattered rocks and warm, breathing bodies sitting or laying on the ground. And I recall having nightmare after terrible nightmare of a beady-eyed, flying beast that persisted to peck my eyes out of their sockets.

    Previously


    My day was perfect. I sniffed out Anker and Elzire (you can't miss her smell; it's sweet but strong) sitting in a poppy patch. There we sat and snoozed and sat and snoozed for hours. I felt so happy and tired, I thought I was in a dream. And I dreamed about colors, memories from my childhood. The only color I can see is black...and I'm not even sure that's a color. After I woke up, I asked Elzire to describe the color of the flowers we were sitting in. Purple. She kept saying it had this softish hue to it; a mix between 'red' and 'blue', other colors. I still didn't know what it looked like, but I liked the way she described it. Laying down between Anker's soft, sleek fur and Elzire's short, citrus-scented one, I didn't need anything else in the world. Later when the three of us had been sitting next to each other, I started to hover in the air. (I believe this was a severe glitch; when I had switched screens to look at something else, Oaxis was on the ground. Sleeping. When I came back, he was 2 feet off the ground, sleeping in mid air. How he got there? I have no idea. Even near Christmastime, the forest is still haunted..)

Just for letting you know,

Just for letting you know, Roe deer is number 12 on the size chart, it's one of my favourite deer species so I know something about it. I hope I don't sound like I'm forcing you to change it or something, but just for letting you know with good intent. Eye

Edit: I hope you like it? xD

E 2.: Just saying, but I feel like Oaxis can be cured of his blindness. There's a thing called Energy Vision. Calder uses it, Severa uses it [I believe Nine uses it too?] and Jennie uses it partially [she has myopia but she can see pictograms, candle flames and energy like that perfectly sharp even at large distance]. I believe it can be somehow intergated onto him?
The deer who uses it has glowing eyes and they see similary like night vision camera. Not the best, but I'm sure he will have much less trouble living ♥

the supernatural night-vision thing does seem interesting, though Eye

@Shadowfly:
(Oaxis later after Elle left):
"Elle...Elle? He could no longer hear or smell her, and her presence had gone. "Goodbye....", he muttered as his eyelids grew heavy, making no difference in the darkness.

A lot of Oaxis's best memories are with Anker, including the day when they first met, when Oaxis hadn't become blind yet. A small group of deer were following the little guy, including Anker. That's when they became friends.
I love the sketches, drawings, art that you do!
That's really thoughtful of you; I wish I had that talent. Smiling

Anker remembers that day, too! Even if he's too tough to admit it, he has quite the soft spot for fawns. When Anker adopted Oaxis, he gave him a much-needed sense purpose for Anker since he arrived at the forest, and for that, he is eternally grateful ^^ Haha
I've been considering making some more in-depth descriptions on Anker's bio... I think I'll do that!

It's more about practice, practice, practice than talent! Anyone can be an artist. I appreciate your drawings of Anker and Oaxis, too. :3 ♥

Are you saying that Oaxis gave Anker a sense of purpose? Shocked
That's interesting--when Oaxis was a fawn, he kept looking for someone who wouldn't leave him like all of the others did. He was sad; he thought he didn't have purpose! I'm glad they found each other. ;>
In depth descriptions, eh? Sounds like a good idea Eye

So...no talent? hmm....I thought it was just a talent you possessed until you found out you had it.
Well, I'd better get practicing, then! Laughing out loud
