Justice Goat! (sheepcakes' kin) Updated - September 14, 2024

[sheepcakes]

Personality
Fish Bones spends a good deal of time in his foxbun form, listening to what Kimeti say and observing them. He still collects fish bones - leaving his crane Bone Keeper to guard the pond - but most of his efforts now go to collecting memories, thoughts and ideas. While in his foxbun form Fish Bones will listen, rarely talking - via sending his thoughts into the other Kin's mind. If a question is asked of him in foxbun form, Fish Bones will not answer at first. Instead he'll hang around and see if the asker can figure it out on their own. If it appears they cannot then Fish Bones may answer, either in his alternate form or after changing back into a stag (in private). If neither can find the answer then Fish Bones will simply give what advice he may, or relate a memory, idea or thought he gathered elsewhere to see if it helps.

Tribe: none

Home Range
A pond somewhat near the center of the swamp. This pond is one large pond, with a smaller pond in roughly the center of it. A pond within a pond. On one side of the smaller pond, is an island big enough to hold his nest and leave a bit of room around it. The smaller pond is littered with fish bones. The outer pond has a few, but not nearly in the amount per inch that the small pond has.
His nest looks to be fashioned in the style of a bird nest, with reeds and other like plants making the frame. Sticks too, and feathers and fur tucked in around the inside. It also holds a vine gifted to him by Sleep Dust and Evening Fog. And a stone that resembles a snail shell, a charm for energy gifted to him by Wane.
Fish Bones still calls his pond home, but since the MotherFather chose him, he's been wandering a lot more.
He makes baskets that can hold small to medium-small turtle shells to carry stuff.

Pets & Familiars

Personality
Jumping Frog is more klutzy then she was as a filly, though she has her good days, and her mind wanders a lot. Most of the time she's friendly, easy going, the type that would let insults and slights roll off her. If she does get pissed, she's more liable to rant then fight. She's got a weird sort of impatient-patience, she has almost boundless patience when dealing with other Kimeti, but where everything else is concerned she can't ever wait to get up an go, find an adventure, follow a frog, always wanting to move around and see and hear what ever there is out there. She tends to be very blunt, often not even realizing her words were harsh until she's said them.

She roams all over, including just past the swamp's boarders on occasion, wanting to see every inch of the swamp and all the creatures that live in it. Stories and lore have no real interest to her, unless they can tell her how to get to a place she hasn't been before or describe creatures she's never seen. She does like to learn about animals and plants, mostly by observing them, but she's not against picking someone else's brain if he or she knows about what ever it is Hop's interested in at the moment.

Tribe: ---

Home Range
Originally, Jumping Frog and her pets lived alone, in a den near her father's pond, about two day's walk. Jumping Frog cultivated the area around her den, making a little garden to attract bugs for the frogs in the river. Her brother, Until the End, came to live with her, expanding her garden to include berry bushes. It is not a true den, no natural cave or tree or rock forms it. Instead they've worked together to turn branches, small saplings and various plants into a lean-to. Really it's only large enough to sleep in, but the rest of the area is just fine for their daily living.

Personality
Very much a daydreamer, Golden-Spider's head spends much time in the clouds. His daydreams mostly focus on the future, though sometimes memories of his past float through. He is a kind-hearted Kimeti, always willing to lend a hoof.
NOTE: For the Driven RP in the Things Waking sub-forum, he'll be so irritated and distracted by the need to move that he won't always - if at all - be his normal self.

Tribe: ---

Home Range
Wanderer

[sheepcakes]

Personality
Creep is a loaner, much preferring to slink about in shadows or at night to spending time with others. The one exception to this, is when she sneaks up on an unsuspecting Kimeti to play a trick, usually with the intent to scare or embarrass her victim. Most would consider her mean spirited and cruel. Her sharp tongue, oft unleashed without regard to how her words may hurt, pranks and uncaring attitude do nothing but prove their words.
It is possible that, deep down, Creep may care. However, it is highly unlikely.

Personality
Gone is the old Swamp Song, who was too scared to leave his den until hunger pushed him out. Everything still scares him, all that is changed is his want to no longer be scared. So he tucks the fear away and lives his life.

Tribe: ---

Home Range
A den in the Eastern part of the swamp. This den is hidden by a thicket of bushes. In fact, most of it is made of dense foliage. Only the back is a solid wall, being naturally made from rock, with a small overhang.

Personality
Stardust isn't fully sane, growing up with his mother's bone obsession has Stardust believing that dead things talk to him. This could be true, however, since more often the not what they tell Stardust is true. Or they could simply be figments of his mind, telling him things he doesn't remember remembering.
What ever the case may be, Stardust is a fun loving Kimeti. Although his brand of fun usually means bone hunting and or danger. He won't let anything stop him on his quests, which include finding the perfect skeleton for his mother, and talking to at least one ghost of every species.

Tribe: ---

Home Range
A den near Last Whisper, his adopted mother. Stardust lives there most of the time, occasionally treasure hunting with Skystain. Skystain technically lives in the den as well, but spends most of her time wandering and exploring.

Personality
Cautious, almost reluctant around strangers, Ancient Song is hard to get to know. But, those persistent enough to win her friendship and trust will find she is loyal to the end. She has no tolerance for evil, miscreants, and other ne'er do wells.

Tribe: The Outliers

Home Range
Spends some of her time with her tribe, and some of her time wandering.

Personality
Mudslide has an excellent memory, of names, places, markings, how to get from here to there. In fact, she just needs to see or hear something once, and it's engraved in her mind. She spends her days exploring Matope, doing her best to catalog everything she sees, to learn all of the MotherFather's secrets. She tackles each day with this single minded goal.
Eager to learn, Mudslide has mastered the art of being everyone's friend, just to further her own knowledge. Even if she hates you, she'll pretend to be your best friend. Though, just long enough to glean all the information she can from you. In reality, there are very few she truly calls friend.
Now that she's had her first clutch, with Coming up for Air, Mudslide is more obsessed then ever. This time in the physical traits that are passed from parent to child. Studying this can be a challenge, but Mudslide has the answer. She will have many children, by different bucks and multiple clutches by the same bucks.

Tribe: ---

Home Range
Her den is not far from her father's den, about half a day's walk. Though she only spends a few days there each season. The rest of her time is spent wandering through the swamp, and as far past it's borders as she can comfortably get. She studies everything and everyone she sees, logging the information away into her mind. Then, when she gets home, Mudslide starts recording it on what ever is handy. The walls of her den, the trunks of the trees surrounding her home. Mostly, her recordings are written, though paintings dot some of them when she can't find the right symbols to depict what she wants to say.

Personality
Snailshell (aka Spiral) has a deep sense of what's right and wrong, and she'll protect others from wrong doing if she can. If a dispute is brought to her she'll do what she can to settle it fairly. She takes great pride in her mutations (aka edits), and does feel that kin who have mutations are special in some way, or Matope would not have made them different. She has a similar feeling about non-Kimeti kin, they must be special if the MotherFather chose to call them back to the swamp. She also takes great pride in, and has a huge amount of love for, her family. Which extends to non-mutated kin, and to Ancient Song and her family. And any other Kin in her tribe that's not blood related, and their family.

Spiral and Ancient Song have been best friends since they can remember, and founded a tribe together specifically for mutated kin. Which is mostly populated by Spiral's line. She's got 7 kids with Vetiver, but more grandkids (she condenses all the greats to make it easier) then one could count. And even if they don't want to join a tribe, in Spiral's eyes they're all members and get treated as such any time they visit.

Spiral is a hunter, with 9 pets/familiars that all help her hunt. She trains each new generation of family/tribe that's brought to her to learn. And she's trained her hunting pack to assist family/tribe with hunting if she's unavailable. She's more carnivorous then omnivorous, preferring foxbuns and mongeese. She does enjoy berries, not too sweet with just a bit of tart.

Spiral loves Vetiver very much, but they don't have a monogamous relationship. Spiral doesn't have a problem with otherkin flinging, but it's not something she wants for herself. She'd prefer to have a few bucks that she considers friends who also are father to her children, not a strict friends with benefits thing, and absolutely not just a babby daddy thing. She does believe it's possible to romantically love more then one kin at a time, but Vetiver will always be first. And she won't try and force love, friendship is enough. Anything else is just bonus. She wouldn't expect any buck to be monogamous, that would be horribly hypocritical. Any children he had/has with another doe would be considered part of the family and tribe as well. He does not have to join the tribe, but she'd prefer it if he did. Being a member doesn't mean he'd have to stay with the tribe, he could be gone for long periods of time, she just asks that he comes by now and again. When he's with the tribe he'd be asked to help, either picking a job and/or helping with whatever task is asked of him. It's not a very strictly policed rule, but lazy mooches aren't tolerated.

Tribe: The Outliers

Personality
Flamboyantly bi, Walks can shift from cute boy-toy to over-the-top flashy and loud in the blink of an eye. He's opinionated and never afraid to speak his mind. Though, Walks may try to soften the 'blow' if he considers you a friend. Walks is also determined and stubborn, once he's decided to do something it's near impossible to change his mind.
Romantically involved with Daisy Chain. Walks loves him very much. Neither expect monogamy, though any dalliances Walks has are for the hope of children. Walks knows Daisy Chain wouldn't mind if he enjoyed other bucks, but falling in love has changed him a bit and he wouldn't feel right doing more then flirting with another buck. As it is he'd leave off does too, but kids are such a wonderful blessing. Any doe looking to mother his children needs to understand they'd have two fathers. Weather she sticks around or not is completely up to her, they'd be fine raising the kids alone but would also be more then welcome to her sticking around.

Tribe: ---

Home Range
Wherever Daisy Chain is, sometimes wanderer (always returns to Daisy Chain with gifts)

Personality
Mouse is a gentle and quiet doe. Soft spoken and just as happy to spend time quietly with friends as chattering away. More often, Mouse is the listener. She doesn't generally give advice, but if you need a shoulder to cry on she's got it.
Mouse is an artists, painting is her passion. She will, on occasion, craft things but mostly it's painting. Mouse paints everything, once even a doe who'd asked her to paint flowers on her hide.
Mouse loves the ocean, so at least once a season she makes the walk to go see it. Living there is something she has considered, and decided against, many times. Fresh water and food is not easy to come by there, and as pretty as it is Mouse prefers her bit of the swamp for day to day living.

Tribe: ---

Home Range
Mouse has no den as she prefers to sleep outside. She does have a territory all her own, though, about 4 days walk from the ocean. Her territory has a little pond big enough to fish in and an abundance of edible plants, fruits, flowers and other things. Her biggest pride in her home are the numbers of flowers and fruits - in every color - that can be crushed for paints.
In roughly the center of her territory Mouse has dragged a log, using rocks to keep it in place. Inside are her tools, various turtle shells and rocks for making her paint, brushes made from all sorts of plants and random tidbits for when she feels like crafting.

Personality
Deathscape is patient and willing to lend a hoof. Or hear you out if you have a problem or idea. He has no qualms telling you straight if an idea isn't very good. He's also very stubborn, once an idea gets into his head it's hard for him to let it go. Even if it's a bad idea.
Hunting is one of his biggest passions. Both participating and watching others hunt. Though there's very few things as thrilling as bringing down your own meal. Finding different ways to prepare it might come close. Though pairing meats with fruits and vegetation is a new idea to Deathscape. Something he found quite by accident when a mint leaf stuck to a bit of meat he was eating.

Personality
This doe is tough as the hardest stones, having decided to live on the outskirts of the swamp. Glint is well adjusted to the scarce food and water in her chosen domain, using her creativity to find or catch what she needs. She tries to avoid fights, however, considering them a waste of energy.
Glint rarely speaks, and barely above a whisper when she does. This is because she doesn't consider others worth the wasted moisture. She has a deep sense of pride, independence and a stubborn streak as wide as the swamp. Often this leads her to consider herself to be better then the rest, though she will grudgingly show respect to those who live on the fringes as she does as well as to Stags and Mares. Those Kimeti chosen by the MotherFather to guide her children.

Tribe: ---

Home Range
Glint travels the outer edges of the swamp, always moving. The dunes are her favorite area.
She's a fringe liver, pushing as far out of the swamp as the Ache will let her. Most of her excursions are for hunting and gathering, very rarely for exploring or trying to find if the ancient stories are true about Kimeti leaving and settling other places. She was over near the beach before this, but stories of Kiokote had Glint cutting her way through the swamp (she usually travels around it's edge) to get to the side she's heard they come from sooner.
At the moment you can find Glint on the edge of the swamp bordering the Kiokote's lands. She is very curious about them, though she has yet to show herself to any of them she's watched.
