Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Tkoli
Gender: Female
Breed: Wildlife - Okapi
Personality: A clever and practical Soquili with a strong personality and a bit of a know-it-all attitude. Tkoli is genuinely bright and extremely perceptive, but she tends to try and dominate others with her knowledge and often steamrolls other Soquili with her insistence that she is right. Oftentimes her advice is good, but it may not be wanted by the targets. She's a bit controlling, but she has a good heart underneath the slightly prickly exterior.

Tkoli is the leader of the tiny, impromptu 'herd' consisting of herself, Euterpe, and Maracuja. (Cricket was also part of their herd before she left on her journey with Ethan.) The three of them live around a meadow by the river that's a bit marshy, but it has a nice dry rise with trees nearby.

Obtained By: First Soquili auction ever held! Orestae won her and gave her to me as a gift. heart First Soquili.
Offspring: First breeding with Wayra: Cedar and Tristan.

Opinions:
Cricket - "Foolish creature! Why would you abandon everything you've known to follow a stranger...? I hope you're safe, even if you are stupid."
Euterpe - "I swear, I'm going to tie you to a tree someday so that you'll learn how to hold still."
Ethan - "Demon-creature... you'd better not hurt Cricket..."
Maracuja - "He has a good head on his shoulders, despite Euterpe. I suppose that's a good thing."

RP Color: brown

Name: Cricket
Gender: Female
Breed: 2nd Generation
Personality: Cricket is a cheerful, friendly and social Soquili with no brain and very little sense of self-preservation. She's sweet, but rather ditzy and airheaded. She doesn't think about the consequences of her actions until they're staring her in the face, and tends to think with her emotions rather than with her brain. She frequently leaps before she looks, and possesses a turn of thought best described as 'Cricket-logic'. Still, Cricket has a kind heart, and she likes almost everyone she meets, even if they object. She is fiercely loyal to her friends and very stubborn when challenged if she believes strongly in something.

Cricket especially likes springtime, pretty things, and flowers. Lots and lots of flowers. She sings badly and hums off-key, and is optimistic - sometimes to the point of stupidity.

Obtained By: Gift from mistalina13. heart From a breeding of her Colonel and HYDKM!!'s Daisy.
Siblings: Leilani and Eversti.
Offspring: None.

Opinions:
Tkoli - "Why did you chase Ethan? He hasn't done anything to you! But I guess if you hadn't done that, I wouldn't be here... wherever that is."
Euterpe - "I miss your singing. Kind of. Maybe. Not really."
Ethan - "My best friend, and... maybe... maybe more... but I don't know. I want to stay with him, even though I'm scared..."
Maharet - "So shy, but cute! I hope she tells me what the rainbow tastes like someday!"
Unknown Mare (Hunter Brown) - "Jealous... that hurt. I know you weren't trying to, whoever you were, but it did."
Diogenes - "He was so cruel, even though he's Ethan's brother! ... but Ethan's different. He has to be. Doesn't he...?"

RP Color: darkgreen

Name: Wyvern
Gender: Male
Breed: Drow Kalona
Personality: Wyvern is cranky, sarcastic, and overconfident. He wants everything to go his way - fortunately (for him, anyway) due to his fierce nature, a lot of things do go his way. This is mostly because he picks on those weaker and smaller than he is, but he takes his victories where he can find them.

Wyvern is superior, cruel, and self-assured, but he shies away from conflict with those he deems stronger than he is (though he'd never admit that assessment to anyone else). He enjoys the presence of power and likes hanging around Kalona that he feels embody the height of the Kalona breed; he is inclined to offer his service to such domineering personalities, in awe of the perfection they represent.

Wyvern is surprisingly small for a Soquili, let alone a Kalona; he's about two-thirds the size of a typical Soquili stallion. He does not like having this fact mentioned, and is extremely touchy about his stature. He prefers to cut others to ribbons with his words before using physical means of attack.

Obtained By: Gift from Youkochylde, Wyvern's previous owner; he left Gaia and decided to put Wyvern in my care. heart

Name: Flip
Gender: Male
Breed: Crack.
Personality: Thoughtful and extremely perceptive, Flip takes life as it comes. He has a careful, laid-back approach to everything, and tends to think long and hard about the possibilities before making an important move. He often recognizes things that others might miss, and may consider things in different ways than one would expect. Sometimes this can be disconcerting, but Flip has a thoughtful heart behind his deliberate actions.

He has taken the strange mare Rapture under his wing, originally to protect her from herself, and the two of them have developed an unusual relationship. Flip actually doesn't love Rapture in a traditionally 'romantic' sense, but he is worried about her, and cares deeply for her. He mated with her hoping that children would ground her, but that plan seems to have failed. Still, he regards it as his duty to protect her, and he will not abandon her no matter how strange things get.

Name: Luan Qi Sheng
Gender: Male
Breed: Celestial Kirin
Personality: A calm, contemplative scholar of the heavens, Luan Qi Sheng is a nocturnal creature by trade. As an astronomer, he lives for the night, and can frequently be found upon mountains and high hills. He is a solitary creature, by and large, though he'll always be cordial if greeted with respect. It takes a lot to make him angry. He has a soft spot for foals and loves to talk to them and teach them about the stars; likewise, he'll eagerly embrace anyone who is truly willing to learn, provide they don't twist his knowledge to ill purposes.

He has a constant ache in his neck from holding his head at odd angles for star-gazing all the time.

Name: Tempest
Gender: Male
Breed: Unknown (believes self to be 50% Kalona, 50% Wind; is actually 50% Wind, 25% Kalona, and 25% Normal)
Mate: Akahi None.
Personality: Tempest is a conflicted soul. He was raised as a Kalona by his tyrannical and inflexible father, in a rag-tag herd that was utterly dominated by his father's harsh and demanding rule. Even though Tempest was a half-breed, son of a Wind Soquili that his father had bred with to try and introduce wings into his lineage, his father still expected certain things from him - things Tempest had been hard-put to deliver. He was raised as if he were a full Kalona, as a meat-eater, a destroyer, death on wings. And yet, while Tempest possesses that cold, hard core of Kalona ferocity within his heart - an irrevocable part of his nature - the domineering rule of his father pushed Tempest beyond what he could bear.

Falling in love with Akahi - a normal Soquili - was his ultimate act of rebellion, and his own excuse to leave his father's herd. Tempest could do for her what he could never bring himself to do for himself.

But when the first flush of their success had worn off, Tempest found himself captive to a terrible fear. That feral core, the hunger he felt almost all the time - she knew what he was. She loved him anyway. But he had nightmares about finding her body shredded, her blood staining his hooves, her meat warm in his belly.

He was terrified of losing control....

And then he entered a dark forest one day, and heard a voice. He made a pact with Mephistopheles, the forest demon, in exchange for nullifying that hunger. When he returned, he found Akahi was pregnant... and when the foals were born, he realized with creeping horror that they were not his.

Overcome with shame at what he had done, Tempest fled, abandoning Akahi and the foals. This knowledge and guilt over his own actions eats at him daily, yet he cannot bring himself to seek Akahi out again. He is a loner, keeping to the shadows - and well away from forests.



Obtained By: RP contest!
Offspring: With Akahi - Diriel and Hrimfaxi...? (Actually the children of Mephistopheles, the Forest Demon.)
With Charlotte: Cecilia, Puck, and Damien.


Opinions:
Akahi - "I... I'm so sorry... I miss you, I love you, and I can never see you again."
Mephistopheles - "Demon... you destroyed everything that was good in my life, and left me with ashes. If I had the power, I would destroy you - yet all I have is fear."
