Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is where my plot ideas go. But more, it's where I invite you to come in and find someone you'd like to RP with. I am open to many different plot ideas and it will never hurt to ask.

And, because this has come up for me a few times, here are my thoughts on potential mate RPs:



Please quote me for a quick response.

Name: Pele
Cert: Basket. Foal, Adult
Co-owner: -
Gender: Female
Mated to: Single
1.) Open
2.) Open
3.) Open
4.) Open
Children: -
Brother: Auri
Back Story: Can be found here.
Presently: Pele is part of the Miakoda Herd, though she doesn't really think about it often. Mostly she just dances and sings. Even when she was in her basket, Pele was humming and moving to the beat of the world.

Pele sees the world differently than others. She hears the bubbling of a brook, the wind in the trees, the soft sighs of dry leaves, as parts of an orchestra. She hears the world's song and tries to join it.

Pele will most often be found improvising wordless melodies to which she dances. Melodies that accept the dripping of rain water as a beat, that spiral around birdsongs in counterpoint. She dances with the elements around her, in and out of patterns of light, between trees and leaping over boulders. And when she is dancing, she doesn't notice those around her. She can create art with her body and the world around her for a long time without ever noticing that she has an audience.

Pele has a brother, who will at one point find her, though they were separated while still in their baskets. Her adoptive father, the one who rescued her basket from being swept out into the ocean is one of the few voices who can call her from her song and dance.

Plots: More than anything, Pele needs someone to ground her. Someone who will care for her and who can pull her from her obsession. Someone who will treasure her for the beauty she creates and not try to destroy that part of her. But someone who can make her see that there is more to the world that music and movement.

Name: Astraea
Cert: Astraea With Voodun, with unedited Voodun
Co-owner: Merci` ( agreement ) broken
Gender: Female
Mother: Leilani
Father: Eoghan
Mated to:
1.) Clef
2.) Open
3.) Open
4.) Open
Children: Ceriana Faye and Rajiv
Presently: Astraea was abandoned by her mother as a foal. Leilani's mind was too scattered and obsessed with finding flutters to remember that she had children. But what Astraea understood was that she wasn't worth the keeping.

Astraea spent much of her life wandering alone. She managed to stumble into the areas of territorial or aggressive Soquili enough while she was still young to learn to be wary of others. More than that, to learn that she wasn't wanted. Astraea quickly figured out that she had no value, that she wasn't wanted, and that she shouldn't bother others.

So her life was lonely, but she understood it. When she encountered strangers, she would often stand silently and watch them, afraid to speak because she knew her words would only make them drive her away.

But one night, late in the winter as the world turned to spring, she came across a gathering. Quietly she hovered around the outskirts of the group. With uncharacteristic boldness she moved to sample some of the fruit that had been gathered. Though the fruit tasted strange, it made her legs tingle in a very interesting way.

She doesn't really remember the rest of that night, but the next morning she woke up next to a strange stallion. Wordlessly, Astraea left before she could be driven away, not even awakening the stallion to find his name.

Later, as her belly swelled, Astraea regretted that decision. When the foals were born and the baskets filled, she knew she had to find their father. She was not worthy of anything, let alone the care of two new lives. But she couldn't carry both baskets herself.

So she found a herd that would take one of the baskets while she carried the other, the one which more closely resembled the stallion, with her. It took days. And far too much talking to strangers, but she found the basket's father. Not bothering to speak with him, she simply left it near him as he slept. She knew both baskets would be cared for. That they would be raised to have value and worth.

Once she traveled to the herd with which she had left the first basket, just to see her son. But otherwise she has kept herself away from her children. She is too afraid of being scorned by them, being chased away, to risk letting them see her. Her heart aches for their loss, but she knows she did what was best for them.

Once again, Astraea travels the lands alone.

Plots: Astraea needs to find friends. She needs those who will accept her and help her to learn that she has value. She could use someone who would train her to heal. And she needs someone who can be patient in helping her learn to love.

Name: Ves'tacha
Cert: Ves'tacha Pregnant
Co-owner: -
Gender: Female
Mated to:
1.) Lucian
2.) Luthias - currently trying for breeding
3.) Open
4.) Open
Children: Rinkini and Raphael
Presently: Ves'tacha is Roma, a gypsy. She travels constantly. Even motherhood only slowed her briefly.

Ves'tacha met Lucian and traveled with him for a time. But Lucian was not a traveler by nature and eventually returned to him homelands to settle. He and Ves'tacha could not be together, but they still care for each other. A piece of her heart will always be with him and her children there.

While continuing on her travels, Ves'tacha met Luthias. Having learned to love those who were different, first with Lucian's need to drink blood, then with her own children's twisted natures, Ves'tacha saw the stallion behind Luthias' outward appearance. She welcomed him to her shelter as the night grew long. The next morning he flew away before the first fat rain drops fell. She didn't know at first that she carried his children. And when she did, she had no way of finding him.

But always, Ves'tacha is Roma. And always the road calls to her hooves. While her children are welcome to walk with her, she could not stay with them.

But she is growing old. Her daughter with Lucian has already had children of her own. Ves'tacha does return to spend time with her grandchildren, but her home is not there. However, her bones are weary and her heart is sore. Too many of those Ves'tacha loves are scattered upon the winds. For the first time in her life, she finds herself wondering what life would be like always in one place.

Plots: Ves'tacha can easily fit into many plots. Being a traveler, she can be encountered almost anywhere. And being accepting, she can give emotional guidance to almost anyone. She does, however, always run from skinwalkers. Ves'tacha doesn't bother with what is on the outside of those she meets. She knows from her own children and grandchildren that real hearts beat within the strangest of chests. She needs to find someone who will love her, who will either travel with her or pull her strongly enough that she will be willing to settle with him [though she'd still take journeys occasionally]. But beyond that, she is open to plots where others need someone like her. She makes an amazing messenger. And she would be great with helping others to accept themselves, regardless of what they may look like.

Name: Cocomin
Cert: Cocomin, with Damala
Co-owner: -
Gender: Female
Mated to: Whisper
1.) Reserved for Whisper
2.) Reserved for Whisper
3.) Reserved for Whisper
4.) Reserved for Whisper
Children: -
Presently: Cocomin is fairly bold for a Seathi. She loves to explore and can swim for hours, though she's not particularly fast. She will swim along the shore, particularly after a rain, looking for things that were washed into the water. And she will explore ship wrecks and coral reefs looking for fun new things or exotic foods.

She joined the Coral Cove Herd when she met Whisper. And the two of them quickly found that they cared for each other more than they could express. Cocomin gathers food stuffs for the herd, and loves her mate. She is content with her life.

Plots: I don't have anything specific Cocomin needs to do outside of her current RPs. But I love to RP and it would be easy for Cocomin to encounter others on her various journeys. If your plots call for someone like Cocomin , I'm happy to have her lend a helping fin.

Name: Latcho Churi
Cert: Latcho Churi
Co-owner: ~
Gender: Male
Great-Grandfather: Relic
Great-Grandmother: Jessamine
Grandfather: Lucian
Grandmother: Ves'tacha
Father: Cooper
Mother: Rinkini
Siblings:
Gogol
Risti
Mate: Currently in RP with Autumn Pheonix
1.) Open?
2.) Open?
3.) Open?
4.) Open ?
Presently: Latcho Churi comes from a twisted family. He's part of the Clever family, many of whom need to drink blood to sustain themselves. But he was born from the twisted carnival. And so was his mother.

Latcho knows he is different. He grew up in a family where everyone was different, and most of them heard voices no one else could hear. Latcho has his own voice, but it's mostly quiet. His voice usually only wakes up to break him out of a blood lust.

But Latcho has discovered that though he can drink and does enjoy blood, he doesn't need it like many others in his family do. If he can keep from getting too hungry, he can usually avoid the need to hunt and taste the blood of others. Though when he's around blood it is very difficult for him to resist it's lure.

That's how he met Autumn Pheonix. She had been wounded and he scented her blood. Of course, Latcho was trying to escape his nature. He wants to learn to use his horn to heal, to do good in the world. But the scent of blood drew him. He went towards it, hoping to help, to be able to heal instead of kill.

But the smell was too much. He almost hurt the mare further in his attempts to aid her. So he left. But her screams not long later had him running back. Latcho was able to run off the wolf that had found her an easy meal. Both of them wounded, Latcho fed from the wolf before helping her into a nearby cave he was aware of.

The next morning, seeing that she was better, his latent healing abilities not enough to really heal her, but sufficient to make things better, Latcho knew he had to leave. Pheonix was acting strangely and Latcho did not know if it was the stress, having been rescued, or something amiss with his healing powers. But she could not have meant the words that seemed to be flirting with him. So Latcho removed himself before things got . . . uncomfortable.

He's wandering again, still looking for someone to train him in using his twisted horn for healing. He doesn't know that Pheonix is wandering looking for him.

Plots: Latcho needs to learn to heal. But I can also see him being turned away as a monster before anyone tries to help him. He could encounter others in his travels. He could be lured by the smell of blood to find a hunter with already dead prey and a chance to join in the meal or driven to protect others from hunters or other dangers. He's pretty open. If there are any plots he would work well in, I'm happy to have him lend a hoof.

Name: Akos
Cert: Akos
Co-owner: -
Gender: Male
Adoptive Father: Dante
Adoptive Mother: Aurora
Adoptive Siblings: Moonsong, Sunsong, Eclipse, Nebula
Mated to: Single . . . Questing Esen. If Akos doesn't find a mate before I get around to entering [and winning] Esen in customs, she will be his mate. I would be happy if someone else liked her and wanted to co-own her and rp her. Please let me know if you think this would be good for you.
1.) Open?
2.) Open?
3.) Open?
4.) Open ?
Children: ~
Presently: Akos was adopted by Aurora and Dante after they found him about to be desert for the skinwalker to killed and ate his mother and sibling baskets. Aurora was pregnant at the time and he was raised with his adoptive sisters. Being a little older Akos was often tasked with watching over them.

He very much loves his adoptive family, though he can not help but notice how different he is from them. They could not tell him anything about himself, even to what breed he is. So Akos travels into the world looking for answers.

Akos is looking for friends and experiences. But more than anything he is looking for others like himself. He wishes to know what he is and to see if anyone can tell him anything about his family.

Eventually Akos will find his aunt and cousin and learn of his family. But by then he will have come to understand that, even as different as he is, he belongs with the family who raised him and will return to find his mother starting a herd. He will become it's protector and settle into life in a herd.

Plots: Akos is on a journey of self discovery. He needs to meed new and interesting people, to make friends, and to find himself. I would love for him to have encounters with various others. But particularly with other hippogryphs. Though it tickles me to imagine his first encounter with others like him being with a harpy. The encounter could go various ways, but ultimately he would continue on his way, possibly wiser. As for love . . . I'm going to be a bit picky with him. But I am open to ideas. I have a custom concept for a mate for him, but would be just as happy finding him someone who is already out there.

Name: Ĉiela
Cert: Ĉiela
Co-owner: -
Gender: Female
Mated to: Single
1.) Open
2.) Open
3.) Open
4.) Open
Children: -
Presently: Ĉiela enjoys helping others. She will go out of her way to give aid to those in need, but is careful never to get her feathers too ruffled. She's very sweet and caring and only occasionally something of a diva.

Ĉiela loves her mother and the rest of her extended family, but she didn't really thrive there. So, wanting to find a place where she belonged, she took off one day to find her way in the world. When she came to the Noble Valley Herd lands, she listened to their values and felt right at home.

Ĉiela knows she isn't always the best at doing what is right. But she tries as hard as she can and it usually works out in the end. She does her best to lend her voice in counsel with her new herd as needed or gathering food and items to sustain it. She enjoys working and helping others.

Plots: Ĉiela mostly needs others to help. She will have plots with her mother and cousin when Akos finds them. But otherwise she's pretty open. She will mostly stay to her new herd's lands except when she traveling to be with her family.
