Personality: To put it plainly, Niall is obsessed with wings. If you have them, be prepared to talk about them. Their origin, whether they allow for flight - everything. His need to ask questions of others he runs into, who have mostly been winged soquili flying above the plains, has given him a straight-forward nature. He is unabashed and unshame-able: he doesn't get embarrassed and he's not afraid to be afraid.
History: Born in the plains, Niall's basket was left, abandoned, in a field of long, golden grass. He has never known any family, excepting his own heart. He emerged from his basket on a starlit night as a hunting owl soared high above; the first thing he saw was they sky shadowed by beautiful, dark wings. Since that day, he's practiced his leaping, but he does not have very good balance, nor the dark, handsome wings that he has always dreamed of. As he grew, he became a giant by Cerynei standards (though he does not know any other children of the forest), and even the deer he so resembled fled from his shadow. It's thought that he has some heavy draft genes - while he did not receive the bulk, he's enormously tall, and the antlers only add to his height. He's met other soquili who've called him "Cerynei," but he does not know what the word means. However, one day he met a mare named Bob, a Wind-Cerynei hybrid who taught him about the Cerynei heritage. He unwittingly sired a pair of colts by her, Miroqi and Roshashan. He has yet to meet them, but Liam will meet them and drag them home with him someday.
Having journeyed across the Great Plains of the Kawani Lands his whole life, Niall has finally neared the end of them - and found the beach and his lifemate, Destati.
Character Development: His plans can be found in the spoiler.
Niall is in deep need of some character development therapy.
Series of roleplays will include: ♦ Planned encounter: Niall and Destati meet up with Kalypso and their fillies have a playdate. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Character Concept: Inspired by the design of clouds on his coat and his sky-blue hair: he wishes to soar among the clouds, but has no wings with which to do so.
RP Color: Saddle brown.
Roleplay Log:
In Progress Little Rascals | Destati, Delmaria Windrose, Sora, & Liam | In progress.
Personality: Destati was born and raised to a loving family and never left home - the extent of the moving she did was to settle a half a mile or so down the beach. She visits her family very often and adores them; she was raised to be open and caring and is pretty much always cheerful. Eventually, she met Niall, who showed her more than the contentedness of a single life lived beside the ocean: he showed her what it is to teach. He also brought a little bit more of a sardonic side in her, but her humor is always good-natured. Destati does not try to manipulate or hurt anyone, and generally, hurtful comments slide like oil across her skin: they don't stick. Actions are what can be hurtful to her, but she does her best to either express herself or accept it and move on.
History: Destati grew up on the beach with her mother, father, and sisters. She comes from a huge family, but she hasn't met most of her relatives - her family is content on the beach, and it is pretty much all she has ever known. One day, she found a bright blue basket hiding amongst the rocks and the waves and pulled it to safety. The filly gave her another tie to the beach - part kelpi, part flutter, Delmaria tired easily under the weight of her own tail. Destati could not leave her and has been taking care of the filly since, still living with her family (for the most part) on the beach.
Character Development: Her plans can be found in the spoiler.
Destati is in deep need of some character development therapy.
Series of roleplays will include: ♦ When along her timeline does she meet Niall? Is it after she find's Delmaria's basket, and if so, when does he meet Delmaria? If it's before she finds Delmaria's basket, do they raise her together? Does Destati keep the basket a secret, when she finds it, to protect her from... something? Or would she do it to pretend, for some reason, that she doesn't have kids? Idk. Explore. ♦ Planned encounter: Niall and Destati meet up with Kalypso and their fillies have a playdate. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Character Concept: Destati was given to me by Ivory Feld. She was originally Niall's lifemate. Destati is a mixture of her parents - sweet, devoted, protective, and just a bit naive. With what I know of her so far, my aim is to develop her through roleplay and see where she goes. Info from Ivory's teepee:
Personality: Destati is everything like her father and mother put together. From protective and devoted, to having a heart so open, she'd do about anything to help others and or make them smile. She's often sweeter than Maui upfront, so sweet its sure to give you cavities. Her only notable flaw is being irrational at times. She'll leap before she looks and often gets herself into messy situations from pure nativity. At least she means well by it. History/Plots: Destati's recently found as a basket abandoned ashore and chose to take it in as her own; spite being what one would call 'young' for being a 'mother.' When the filly revealed herself, Destati gave her the name 'Delmaria' -- meaning 'from the Sea.' It was quiet fitting and very surprising she turned out to be a flutter-kelpi mix. Destati agrees with Oathkeeper and Maui on the matter that there's 'bigger things' at play here; as Delmaria resembles her and her flutter heritage in some ways.
RP Color: Dark slate blue.

Name: Delmaria Windrose. Meaning: Delmaria: of the sea - Spanish. Windrose: combination of the English words "wind" and "rose." Nickname: Del, Delmaria. Maria (rarely).
Family:
Children: None. Parents: Destati & Niall (adopted). Siblings: Liam & Sora (adoptive full-brothers); Miroqi & Roshahan (half-brothers, IC sons of adoptive father). Extended Family: xxxxx. Mate: None.
Personality: Del came out of the sea and became as shifting as the ocean itself. She is as reactionary as it gets, flowing with every emotion that crosses her mind. Sometimes she seethes and others she is calm; it all depends on the moods she bears for a fleeting moment. Someday she will realizes that her choices made without forethought may be unwise or do her harm, but for now, everything she does is in the moment. Her emotions are also extremely vivid, though they rarely fall in the happy or cheerful range that she remembers; her dramatics are much more memorable, after all.
History: Rewrite here.
Character Development: Her plans can be found in the spoiler.
Delmaria is in deep need of some character development therapy.
Quote:
from Uta!
Um. Not. . . . . not really [nobody knows how long, specifically, it takes for a kelpi's skin to dry out]? I mean, on the one hand, if it's a PURE kelpie I'd say a few days at least. But, if it's like a half-kelpie, depending what it's mixed with, it may not necessarily need water. I'd say it's up to the RPer, really, but if they wanted something official, a few days time.
Series of roleplays will include: ♦ Planned encounter: Niall and Destati meet up with Kalypso and their fillies have a playdate. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Character Concept: Inspired by her temper: shifting. She was owned by Ivory_Feld prior to my owning her, so Del's character is based off what I know about her - she's as changing as the ocean and its tides.
Personality: Sora is very much a homebody. He loves his beach, loves his parents, loves his siblings, and doesn't ever want to leave. He's very reluctant to try new things, and is often pushed into meeting strangers by his sister. He does have a place of refuge, the one place she allows him to hide from her, which is a cove and cave that appears during low tide; he can have six hours of solitude there between the tides, and often disappears to go there when others have been pushing him too much. Sora is very happy to have a routine everyday, and doesn't mind the monotony. The exception to his not liking to meet others is the soquili of the sea: he loves aquatics, and they are far too fascinating to let pass untalked to.
History: Write-up in progress.
Character Development: His plans can be found in the spoiler.
Sora is in deep need of some character development therapy.
Series of roleplays will include: ♦ Sora meets Nenetl after being dared to go talked to her by Del. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Character Concept: Inspired by his family. While the rest of them are outgoing, friendly, and hospitable, Sora is reluctant to try new things or meet new people. I wanted a character who would stay home and have small adventures, rather than one who would leave his loving parents when some fit of wanderlust set in.
ladyfirefox89 has permission to use Sora as a markings reference for Kairi: custom form | design permission from Riri | reference permission from me - part two. His relationship to her is as yet unknown, but they are (somewhat) counterparts: where his name means "sky," her name means "water;" their markings will be somewhat similar. They are not, however, being customed as siblings or blood relations at this time.
Personality: Once a young, proud stallion from a pureblooded Unicorn herd, Bedwyr has grown older in his time wandering the Kawani Lands. While he is still a knight, noble and strong, Bedwyr has grown lonely and weary through the years. He is slower on his routes now than he was, but he continues to follow them - after all, there are herds down those paths that get into scrapes every once in a while, and little families, as well. Taking every opportunity to teach and pass his knowledge onto his pupils, Bedwyr is a unicorn healer to the core. He believes that all life is sacred, and that everyone deserves a second chance. He believes that young minds should be given the chance to blossom and be taught everything they are hungry for, though bent a bit more toward good than not influenced at all. Chivalrous but polite, he knows that mares can take care of themselves; if they could not, his mother would have had a sore time raising he and his sister. Most of all, he is considerate of others' needs - that's what happens when one becomes a healer; he's always conscious of how others might be hurt, and his bedside manner is excellent. While he can play the fun-loving fool every once in a while, he is more at ease as the kindly father figure, taking care of those who need him at every turn.
History: Rewrite here.
Character Development: His plans can be found in the spoiler.
Bedwyr is in deep need of some character development therapy.
Series of roleplays will include: ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼ ☼
Character Concept: Bedwyr's concept is based on the stereotype of an old knight - or at least, it was when I got him. He still has the old knight persona, but now he's also quite a prolific, wise healer.
Personality: In short: Prickly, unstable, and irritable. In-depth write up on the way.
History: In short: Parents and brother killed by a vengeful kelpi. Kalypso herself is currently being held captive by a kelpi. In-depth write up on the way.
Character Development: Her plans can be found in the spoiler.
Kalypso is in deep need of character development therapy.
Series of roleplays will include: ○ Planned encounter: Niall and Destati meet up with Kalypso and their fillies have a playdate. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
Character Concept: Kalypso was inspired by her pearls, behind which there is a tragic story.
Personality: At a young age, Sephora adopted her mother's bluntness. However, as she grew older, she began to make up for what she began to see as a lack of manners, becoming more and more lady-like. Sephora is now very demure outwardly, but thinks with the same slightly abrasive tendencies as Kalypso, even though her words come out with an air of being cultured. She believes that everyone should be loved for who they are and not what they look like, and those with scars especially.
History: Rewrite here.
Character Development: Her plans can be found in the spoiler.
Sephora is in deep need of character development therapy.
Series of roleplays will include: ○ Planned encounter: Niall and Destati meet up with Kalypso and their fillies have a playdate. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
Character Concept: Inspired by her delicate, creamy coloring. She looks like a sweet lady to me, and her phenotypic breed only adds to that perception.
Personality: Kararti is lunar-cyclic: her personality syncs with the RL phase of the moon. Her heritage as a foal of the Twisted Tunnel doesn't help. Depending on whether the moon is full or new, her mood swings are downright polar. During the full moon, she is bright, alert, erratic, anxious, and nearly nocturnal as she tries to stay up as late as possible to watch her precious moon rise and set. During the new moon, she is lethargic, grumpy, depressed, irritable, and sometimes violent. The moon has enraptured her, and she doesn't mind one bit. Between the full and new phases, she is every one of the emotions on the spectrum between depressed and manic. The half moons, however, twice a month, are when her true personality shows through: sweet, mischievous, and just a bit gullible, all Kara really wants is to have fun. She set out on a little journey once she was deemed old enough to leave the nest, and feels a bit disconnected from her family. Since she has left, she's been trying to find them again. Right now, all she really wants is to go home. Of course, she does have foals in tow: two of them, the third lost when its father disappeared after he had shown her his hedonistic ways. While she is a bit more responsible now, she is more of a friend to her children than she is a mother. Kara also has some catlike attributes: she moves with a grace that is unmistakably feline, learned from her father, a lion of a unicorn. Her tail also waves as a cat's does, dependent on her mood. .
History: After leaving the nest as a young adult, Kara has been lost: for a while, she was trapped on the coastline by the tides, and has been trying to make her way back since. Along the way, she met a triwing-descended Kalona stallion who showed her a "hedonistic wonderland," or so she told her children once they were old enough that it was appropriate to tell them more about their father than they had known before. As both of the ones she raised were born with three sets of wings, she is now suspicious of not only their father's heritage, but a little bit of her own - though she blames it mostly on the twisted moon.
Character Development: Her plans can be found in the spoiler.
Kara is in deep need of character development therapy.
Series of roleplays will include: ♠ ♠ ♠ ♠ ♠ ♠ ♠ ♠ ♠
Character Concept: Inspired by a talk that I had with her co-owner, Jackariah Beckett, about what we could do with her personality. We decided to use her twisted breeding to our advantage, and made her more feline in her mannerisms than most of her breed, including taking the strange behavior that can sometimes be observed during a full moon to a new extreme.

Personality: Drako grew up extremely close to his family, who are a small group of spies and secret keepers. Though he was trained in all the arts that go with spying and secret keeping, from treading quietly to listening without judgment, Drako's favorite art was camouflage - something that he learned particularly well due to the appearance of his pelt. However, as he grew older and began to meet more people, Drako discovered that he would rather talk to people than learn about them through observance, though he is still cautious about approaching. He has become somewhat of an extrovert, but he holds back his attentions from those that he detects to be more introverted - he knows that some are exhausted by such attention. He is a doting brother to his siblings, though Banyan sometimes does things that puzzle him. Eventually, he will be a doting lover to his lifemate and a doting father to his children, though he will be ever wary of what he produces because of the way his brother turned for the worse.
He's charismatic and knowledge-hungry by nature; he wants to learn everything he possibly can. He is quarter-Kalona, which has surprised him in his past, because despite looking full-blooded Cerynei and feeling full-blooded Cerynei, blood and gore don't turn on his flight instinct. Being able to stomach the scent of it made him realize that not everything that eats meat is evil - as he learned from watching other soquili interact - because the carnivore gene is still in his blood. Though he himself was raised away from a meat diet (it never came up until his brother was born with a Kalona tail), Drako understands that some folks need certain kinds of sustenance and doesn't hold it against them.
The knowledge-hungry part of him stems from his body's desire, but not need, for meat, so he fills it with other things. He trained himself to use his coat for camouflage, but because it usually only works in the winter, he also had to learn how to hide himself in the other seasons.
History: Rewrite here.
Character Development: His plans can be found in the spoiler.

Personality: Paris is on the mildest side of the skinwalker spectrum: beautiful and seductive on the outside, ugly and tainted on the inside, especially since her cursing. She finds the darkness of the Kalona nature tantalizing and has made a habit of stalking them. However, her own kind - skinwalkers - are merely lowly creatures traipsing stupidly through her territory when she encounters them. She would rather smash them like bugs than flirt with them... But her point of view may change. While she is a killer, she doesn't particularly enjoy killing; blood is terribly hard to get out of her fur. As such, she kills only when she's really hungry, but when she's hungry, she gets angry, and she's likely to take it out on any unfortunate soul nearby. Paris enjoys mind games and psychological torture, but she's not smart enough to carry either out effectively - but that doesn't make it any less fun. The only thing that truly frightens her is the scope of her bloodline, which has now expanded by four generations, and almost all of them are goody-two-shoes who might want to take her out. As there are more than enough descendants to take her on, she is secretly paranoid and trying to take them out first.
History: Paris was cursed after bearing six foals to three different stallions. She abandoned all of her children - even before she was cursed, she was heartless.
Character Development: Her plans can be found in the spoiler.
Paris is in deep need of character & history development therapy. Focus on her old roleplays and see what you can find.
Series of roleplays will include: † Paris's major plot is coming up - she is bent on the destruction of her bloodline before he descendants can destroy her. A major fixture of this plot is her bloodline... And the army she builds to incapacitate it.
Paris realizes that she needs to handpick "children" to face her enemies for her, as she does not have the training to do it herself (and she does not want to dirty her coat). She groups her six children and their descendants into the category of "enemy," as well, determined to wipe their inferiority from the earth. However, as she starts to think of them as the enemy, Paris becomes paranoid that, perhaps, they really are out to get her... And she realizes that she will need more than just a few to take her ever-growing list of enemies. [Mostly done here, but she needs a self RP to realize that her children are the enemy.] Paris spies on Ariadne to gauge the mare's abilities - she identifies Ariadne as her granddaughter by the dot-spirals on her legs, the Kalona horns that belonged to her son Parixaeus, and her gold eyes. Eira Lynn, Ariadne's daughter, is there with her, and Paris spies on her, too. This is one of several attempts to spy on her descendants - also talk to Nymphalidae & II-Gen3sis-II about Nymphalidae & Hallow's Bane, as well as any other owners that can be tracked down. Paris begins recruiting for her army, first by "stealing beauty" from several people in order to indenture them, as well as seeking out twisted souls who will worship her just because she can influence them too. With their help, she basket-naps the children of Whiskey and Roarian Aloysius Bleauregard to raise and brainwash to do her bidding. She also steals a basket from the care of Gideon/Garrence Chamberland; the mother of the basket is her great-granddaughter, Eira Lynn. Her army growing, Paris realizes that she's sabotaged herself as the basket of Eira Lynn and Gideon/Garrence changes to fit coloring reminiscent of her bloodline. However, she figures out that she may be able to brainwash the child into loving her and use it against her descendants who sorely miss their child. Paris meets Einar the cursed skinwalker and his most recent batch of children, who sympathize with her cause. They come to the conclusion that a pair of cursed skinwalkers could make superior offspring and they get pregnant. Not long after the foals she stole emerge from their baskets, Paris realizes that they are inherently good and determines to twist them somehow. She attempts to brainwash them into becoming evil, but the foals are surprisingly resilient. Dissent begins to crop up in the ranks of her followers, and Paris grows bigger around as the days go by... When she goes into labor, her dissenters pounce and capture her, dispersing the ranks and sending her stolen foals back to their parents, though a bit worse for wear. When her own foals are placed in their baskets and Paris is under constant watch, the baskets are left with her - as the spawn of a pair of skinwalkers, they are thought to be inherently evil. She does her best to poison their thoughts while they are in their baskets, but when they emerge, they are just as good as the rest of the foals she's borne... And worse, peltless and hateful toward her. Shocked, self-destructing, and even more paranoid, Paris goes insane and transforms, ripping her captors a new one. She escapes into the world with the knowledge that she is the only one she can trust. Paris finds a Kalona to father her last set of foals, as she has an impending sense of doom and wants to feel the glowing beauty of pregnancy one last time and leave a few gouges in the world by way of evil children. The Kalona she finds is a killer, just as she is, and nearly as twisted. She doesn't care whether or not he respects her - she just wants to be sure that, if for some reason she does not survive to raise them, he will raise them into little scourges. Her sense of impending doom comes to fruition: during the foaling, Paris either contracts an illness or dies. She lives long enough to realize that she has finally produced such a strong batch of children that they've killed her.

Character Concept: Paris is inspired from what I know of her character from before she was given to me by Ivory_Feld. Since then, her psychotic ways have fractured even more, and she's gone diving into the deep end.
Personality: Write-up in progress. In a nutshell: Zealous, flamboyant, naive but good-hearted.
History: Odhrán comes from a sea-dwelling seathi family, raised on legends of seathi who raided uncouth kelpi and mers. When he grew up, he became what he'd always wanted to be - an explorer, a pirate, doing exactly what his family had done for generations: stealing and treasure-hunting. When he became a young adult, his family gave him an earring, as was custom... But he could not bear the idea of piercing his ear in order to wear the bauble. By the time he turned two, he had a band of brothers in the shiny trade, sharing the loot when they found a particularly rich shipwreck. [More info to come.]
Character Development: His plans can be found in the spoiler.
Ronnie will need development, especially with George.
Series of roleplays will include: ♒ ♒ ♒ ♒ ♒ ♒ ♒ ♒ ♒
Character Concept: Oddie's character is based heavily on George's background - they grew up together. They did everything together, and one day, Oddie realized that he was in love with the other seathi. However, George soon disappeared, and Oddie had nothing to fill the hole that he left... And so Oddie became a notorious criminal, stealing from Soquili that no other seathi had dared cross. He now preaches tales of glory to young seathi, zealous and set in his ways.
Personality: Write-up in progress. In a nutshell: Eoin inherited the easy charm that his father has forgotten, along with a sense of radiating comfort from his mother's quilin genes. He's characterized by soft chuckles and kind words, sincerity and honesty and a bit of fun. Raucous when with his siblings and his huge family of pirates and baby-sitters, Eoin loves his family's culture and will likely never leave it.

Character Concept: Eoin's character is based heavily on the character of Gwaine (Merlin), who is genuine and charming. That's about all I got. The rest of him will be largely developed by his culture.
Name: Teague "Flurry" Tiarnán. Pronunciation: Teeg Flur-ee Tee-ar-nahn. Meaning: Teague: Poet - Irish, anglicized from "Tadhg." Flurry: a nickname given by his friends; the Irish version, "Flaithrí," means king of princes. Tiarnán: Little lord - Irish. Nickname: Flurry (by everyone).
Personality: Write-up in progress. In a nutshell: Respectful, quiet, calculating. Flurry believes that names have power and simply goes by his nickname; he has great respect for anyone who freely gives his or her name away, but he also may think of them as foolish. He is kind and calm, the perfect balance for his more enthusiastic friends. He does not believe in robbing the dead, however, and feels even less right about robbing the living - he stands lookout for his friends and serves as medic if they insist that he go with them on a pirate outing. More responsible than all his friends put together, Flurry is soft-spoken and task-oriented. He does, however, have a hidden fire that he has not accessed for a long time.
History: Teague Tiarnán was born to a pair of SeaNixie parents in a reef that neighbored the pirate colony. However, when a shipwreck rendered their home uninhabitable, Teague and his parents were forced to relocate. They chose to enter the society of the pirates that had plagued them for so long, stealing the jewels and ornaments they picked up through fair trade. In the process, Teague managed to ward off an angry kelpi, earning himself the nickname "Flurry" for his agility under pressure. Believing that names have power (his parents also believed such), Teague used the name of "Flurry" to mask his true name, keeping it safe; before, he had been known simply as "Blue" to anyone but his parents. Now merging into the pirate society, Flurry was appalled by some of their customs: sending their young adults into peril in a coming of age ceremony, stealing from shipwrecks that bore the dead, robbing the living... Eventually, however, Flurry came to terms with his new herdmates; he depended on their acceptance, after all. Rather than rob others, however, he decided that he would live on the outskirts of the reef, help protect it and his brothers and sisters in the herd.
Character Development: His plans can be found in the spoiler.
Flurry will need character development.
Series of roleplays will include: ♒ ♒ ♒ ♒ ♒ ♒ ♒ ♒ ♒
Character Concept: Flurry's character... is basically based on his floofyness. >.> And also on the reef pirate culture he has become part of. He was won in the Labyrinth.
Personality: Write-up in progress. In a nutshell: Myrllin is very playful, having begun his life with a filly who needed amusement. He likes making others laugh and is especially good at quiet comfort. Having been named after a fairytale wizard by his little sister, Firesong, Myrllin truly believes he has some wizards' magic, in the form of being able to summon gusts of wind (a traditional putti ability). He likes to use them to ruffle his family's feathers and practices for fun.
History: Myrllin's basket was found by Firesong when she was playing by herself one day, and she towed it home and declared that she would raise the foal (albeit a loudly snoring foal) within. A few days after she found the basket, it opened to reveal a groggy adult putti with a large bump on his head. He had no memory of how he came to be there - the bump that had knocked him out had also erased his old memories. When he flapped his headwings, he accidentally summoned a gust of wind, prompting Firesong to name him "Myrllin" after a wizard character in a story that her mother had told her.
Character Development: His plans can be found in the spoiler.
NEEDS DEVELOPMENT.
Series of roleplays will include: ♦ Myrllin will eventually wander away from Aurora & Dante's herd. Once he does, he will stumble upon Ikinya and Cuauhcoatl and their family/herd. They come to the conclusion that he was spirit-given to the Yectenehua, but was found by Firesong as Ikinya and Cuauh missed his basket. (Talk over with Mews.) Most likely occurs when he is wandering with Maucie. ♦ Myrllin is found by Bohlale (spirit son of Ikinya & Cuauhcoatl) and brought back to his parents for introductions. (See above.) ♦ Somehow, Myrllin will go from playful near-toddler to the wise, almost spiritual persona seen in Arthurian legends. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Character Concept: Myrllin's character was formed with a lot of help from Mewsings of an Angel. He was designed specifically to join Aurora & Dante's herd and to be a sibling to Firesong. Both he and Firesong 'grew up' at the same time.
