Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: With
Chase and
Mirage by her side she is an expert at sniffing out and hunting down rumors and interesting little tidbits of all kinds! But in the end, her skills are invested in chasing things down more than trapping them.
Kin Contributing Tip: "Don't ever lose your passion. It's easier to pick up your hooves when you're looking forward to where they'll rest in the end."
Furby: She is somewhat taken by furbies, since they are so strange, but they aren't quite the same in allure as ghosts to her.
Impossible Dream: "Hm... I think exactly what it is doesn't bother me as much as what it can help me achieve, you know? I want to make a lot of friends that remind me of the things I've accomplished more than I want any one thing in particular."
Explanation: Ghost Hunting is a major facet of hunting the supernatural and interesting legends of the world around her!

Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: "I am the best at... stalking.. and tracking.." he spoke as he watched the leader of the tribe with very curious eyes. "Locating and identifying nests is what I am most comfortable with, but, if needed, I can set a trap or two, and, a lure, too. Nets will tangle me up so those won't work with me,
ever."
Never-Ending Nightmare made a pained look as if he had been tangled in one before and quickly changed his expression. "You can say that I am a little gifted in sensing others
fears. The higher the fear level I sense, the more I get drawn to them!" -he cackles hysterically-
Kin Contributing Tip: "Hunting and catching is most efficient when one possesses lots of patience!"
Furby: "Ooo you want to know my opinions on furby? Well they're so spooky and interesting to watch. The little chub ones jiggle as the long ones wiggle and snake themselves around any objects they can latch onto. Yes indeedly they are very interesting. I like them. I just hope they won't eat me when they see me." -nods nods-
Impossible Dream: "You know, would you believe me that I've dreamed of being able to walk THROUGH trees and rocks and caves and float through waters??" The acha's eyes widened and was burning with determination. "I'd love to befriend a creature that can do that!" He pouted and whispered under his breath: "I wish
I could do all that..."
Explanation: "I heard we get to hunt G H O S T S. I want to see one of these mysterious creatures already!"

Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: Warning Chill just seems to have a
knack for knowing when there's something spooky around; a perception that crops up as a prickling feeling and a certainty something's around the corner. Now if only he were a better hunter...
Kin Contributing Tip: "Take slow, shallow breaths; I swear, sometimes the spectral beasts fill your lungs with cold air."
Furby: "No strong feelings. They're just.....beasts like the rest of us."
Impossible Dream: "Bats! I love bats."
Explanation: "Had a hard time finding a place I fit in. Most kin are too grounded in....this place. And they don't think about those things lurking around the corners. Maybe you all will understand better..."

Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: A singer of haunting calls, her melodic chords can mimic all manner of creature, natural and unnatural.
Kin Contributing Tip: A good lure doesn't have to be edible. Any creature can be convinced by a familiar voice.
Furby: Creatures of the darkness, they rarely sing alone.
Impossible Dream: A creature that can join her in harmony.
Explanation: Afraid she was condemned to arias, Soul Choir is ready to join a chorus.
"What are we hunting today?"
Your Username: Anhelisk
Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: Feather-crafting and knotwork!
Kin Contributing Tip: "I'm a member of another tribe... and I split my time between them and us. I hope that we can exchange valuable information between us both!
Furby: Um? They're. Soft. And cute. And make a good meal in a pinch. But their fur isn't feathers, so... not good for materials.
Impossible Dream: All of the birds in the swamp are beautiful and majestic... and their plumage makes Bright's heart flutter. He holds a dream of figuring out how to preserve the plumage of spectrals, so he could learn to craft something from them.
Explanation: Upon the birth of a very strange crane, Bright became aware of the spectrals and ghosts of the swamp. He's got one in his company, now, and is curious to see if he can't attract more as friends or companions.

Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: "I'm the best there is at waiting patiently for the right moment! One time, that took me
three days in the reeds by a riverbank, waiting for when a clutch of caiman eggs had hatched and the nest was unattended by the mother. I don't think I could have done that if it hadn't been in fresh water. Taking the time to camouflage myself in the mud was worth it, too. But the dash away afterwards...hoo!
Kin Contributing Tip: "Watch your breath. Sometimes it's not hooves that give you away, but the sound of your breathing. Practice using 'soft' eyes. Especially sensitive prey—they sense that hunter's intent!"
Furby: "They're soft and cuddly, all right...but they're too noisy!"
Impossible Dream: "I'm....from a pretty large family. It's hard to stick out. I want to be responsible for a
really epic catch, the kind that everyone will remember and tell stories about. Capturing something dangerous alive?"
Explanation: "The Shadow Stalkers seem so
exciting!. I feel like I could really learn a lot here. I'm going to make my name!

Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: Bewitched is a (in)famous ghost hunter. With her siblings (and friends) she has stalked the night of the swamp to find, terrify, and destroy ghosts. Her mother is terrified of ghosts, and it became the family business.
Kin Contributing Tip: Never hunt alone, a good backup is worth more than a good story of a solo hero.
Furby: Im glad other people love them so I can give them to them and they wont watch me sleep.
Impossible Dream: Those foxbuns! One of my favorite pets!
Explanation: Bewitched really, really loves hunting. Stalking. Saving others. A whole TRIBE of Ghost Hunters? Its her dream as a young adult to find others like her, and protect the swamp.

Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: Coming up with, often elaborate and unneccesary, ideas for traps. Has mongoose trained in aiding of creation of these traps.
Kin Contributing Tip: Cater your actions to fit your pray. A pitfall wont catch a flying creature. A very small animal will slip right through nets.
Furby: They....exist.
Impossible Dream: Those gryhons look mighty tricky...would the cut a net? They can fly so a pit wouldnt work.....
intense staring ensues.
Explanation: To see my traps really put to the test and benefit more than myself.

Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: Fishing.
Kin Contributing Tip: Don’t aim where the fish is. Aim where it’s going to be.
Furby: They’ll eat anything, including your bait. Watch ‘em close.
Impossible Dream: There’s a very specific eagle she’s seen only in dreams, and one day she’ll fish alongside it.
Explanation: Fish needs more actual friends and fishing buddies.

Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: Licks has a vast mind-catalog of different flora/fauna, their scents and tastes, and how to track with her great sense of smell. She is also very good at identifying if a rock is indeed a rock... if that's a desired skill.
Kin Contributing Tip: "Taste everything at least once! ... except for certain mushrooms... and herbs... and frogs... hmm"
Furby: "I have yet to encounter one... but I'm told they're cute.. if not vicious" she turns to whisper to a nearby kin
"Do they taste good?"
Impossible Dream: I want to experience everything! Not necessarily... eat everything but.. know everything? I guess that involves eating everything too... Do ghosts taste good?
Explanation: My mother told me not to let my shortcomings keep me from new experiences, so I'm pretty sure she meant I should leave home and join a band of traveling ghost hunters.

Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: Forgotten is quite gifted at tracking and taming although she doesn't actually use her skills much currently. She also has quite a heightened extra sense.
Kin Contributing Tip: Use your surroundings as camouflage....scent, appearance, and other. Don't be afraid to get dirty.
Furby:' They kinda creep me out...and they taste -weird-...and well... -shudders- =_=;; I will catch them if I have to'.
Impossible Dream: A passion for spectral cats. She's constantly chasing them or searching intently once she senses that they're near. Doesn't know why... It feels like a calling. But all and all examining things that cross the threshold is a very interesting endeavor. Perhaps she could learn something.
Explanation: Why not join? She isn't very social but the hunt is usually thrilling enough to hang around anyone else. The main reason however... spectrals are very interesting things.

Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: Ritual Expert and Spirit Talker
Kin Contributing Tip: The spirits and spectrals aren't fond of thyme; it confuses them.
Furby: They're useful; their beaks make for nice crunchy bits and the eyes can be used to curse others.
Impossible Dream: The jaw of a shark; teeth are very good for drawing the vicious ones to talk.
Explanation: I want to be appreciated. Even the pink one dislikes me. How sad for her.

Kin Specialty: Hunting -- No Escape is a hunter with much practice and patience under her belt. She has a vast appetite and has brought down many types of prey, from cave worms to foxbun to caiman almost her own weight. She is always, ALWAYS hungry. To try and make the best out of any kill, she has honed talents at skinning and keeping pelts and leathers fresh, trying to make any kill more than just worth its weight in meat.
Kin Contributing Tip: She looks up, blinking. "A fresh blood stain should disappear easily if it is immediately covered with salt and blotted with cold water. Keep adding fresh water and blotting until the stain is gone."
Furby: No Escape was gifted a long furby by Albatross during the Winter Market. At first she was somewhat uncertain about her new companion, but it has made itself eminently useful during long, cold winter nights. They are good for warmth, though she has woken up with it staring at her, inches away from her face, once or twice.
Impossible Dream: "I'm just always hungry," she explained, with a fervid sort of light in her eye at odds with the calmness of her voice. "I want to try and kill and eat one of each animal ... and also to try and kill something bigger than I am. Something
huge."
Explanation: She is a consummate hunter and always seeking out new things to kill (and new people to
meatmeet). She may or may not also be quite fond of Albatross.

Your Kin:
Kin Specialty: Bait. Survive the Ritual doesn’t know how to explain it, but frightening creatures (especially furbies) flock to him. Perhaps they can sense his fear... Spirits are drawn to emotion, after all.
Kin Contributing Tip: When searching for spectrals... Sometimes it’s best to look solo. Some are quite shy... and can be scared by large groups...
Furby: On their own they’re not so bad, but... in a mass, there’s nothing more terrifying...
Impossible Dream: Please don’t think me mad but... in my dreams, the furbies, they mumble of... a mother... I dread the idea, but still... I am curious...
Explanation: It would be nice to not be by myself... to live in a bigger group... and feel... safer... at night...

Kin Contributing Tip: "If you can't see, then wait and listen."
Furby: They're... interesting. Wonder if they taste as interesting as they look?
Impossible Dream: To catch a legendary in animal form, and ask them their secrets. If not that, then to have a spectral crane.
Explanation: I already tend to spend a lot of time in the darkness chasing shadows, maybe doing so with company would be fun.

Impossible Dream: Spectral Crane and anything feline or otherwise spooky.
Explanation: Ghosts, m'dude. Ghosts.

particular furby, but in general? I love them!"
Impossible Dream: "Hmmm. The real big unknowns out there. The tiny elephants, the catfish, the
ungulates of the world. The stuff that no one thinks exists."

Furby: They an off-da-wall bunch, they are. Don't really trust'em, myself. Bout the only critter I ain't never been able to figure out, tell you what.
Impossible Dream: I done 'eard of these birds, ya see. Giants what can pick up a whole kin in their claws and carry 'em off. I'd love to see one in the flesh, well guess they got feathers don't they?
Explanation: Can't see why not? Same-minded folk and all that. Ain't really the groupin' type but don't see what we stand to lose by partnerin' up.
