Name: The Pain in Your Heart (Guilt) Acquired: Newbie breeding gift Notes: --- Status: Closed, will not breed. Naming Dream:Link The Pain in Your Heart (Guilt)... appears to be a perky, bright, and kind kimeti - the polar opposite of her brother. However, this is simply a cover-up to her true, far more malicious nature. Guilt attempts to justify this rather awful behavior by using it to try and help her brother Sting, either through manipulation or just straight leading others into traps. Rather cowardly, she'll hide behind her twin whenever she gets into trouble, and rarely seems to ever see fault in her actions. Her façade is not entirely perfect - strong emotions will often lead her showing her true colors.

Name: Dusk Wave Aquired: Newbie breeding gift Notes: Squall descendent - check lines before breeding him.
Part of The Cres! Is a scout and pretty much there permanently. Status: Closed, life-mated to Fierce Warrior. Naming Dream:Link Dusk Wave... is quiet. Not much of a talker, he prefers to watch and listen far more than speak, and his words are rare and picked with care. A hard worker, he tries to earn his keep and not cause trouble, preferring to err on the side of caution. His silence and tendency to listen makes him a fantastic secret keeper, and he often tucks away bits of information to mull upon later.
For a long time Dusk avoided the call of the sea, letting himself be a wanderer in the swamp, never settling but drifting from place to place. But eventually, between his daughter wanting space and him feeling untethered, he set out to the sea, and joined the Cres. He functions as a scout in the community, and works to earn his place. He has a bit of a tendency to overthink, worried about how he appears to others, and in general is unsure of what he wants out of life, now that he is essentially on his own. Out of touch with his own emotions, he tries to be kind, but can often be oblivious.
He hasn't been his daughter since they went their own ways, but he thinks fondly of her. He tried not to be an overprotective dad, and thinks he mostly succeeded - although she's still stubborn enough to give him a headache.
Spoiler
Throughout life, Dusk had many a role to play - son, brother, then father, all stages of life he smoothly transitioned through. It was easy to play any task asked of him, but it wasn't until his daughter left and Dusk was on his own that he realized, he had never actually found a place for himself or any ambitions or goals in life. So focused on doing his part and taking care of others, that he had never really found himself with any thoughts for his future or himself. Even when he went back to the Sea, his one wish since having a daughter and realizing the journey would be hard for the pair, he never really found what he truly wanted. So he settled, shedding his former nomadic lifestyle, and tried to see if he could find something.
To his credit, things did change - he saw a strange beast, met and made a friend, had some strange dreams, and ultimately found life changing despite it all. But nothing was ever realized until he went down to the caves with the others to find the Obelisk. Forced to actually confront his emotions, instead of simply shoving them to the side, Dusk realized that what he truly wanted was to make a home and a life for himself - to see things and experience them, instead of drifting and being a quiet watcher. He's not sure how to go about this yet, he still has some figuring out in store, but he has the ambition to make a path for himself in life now and he is going to try his best.
Spoiler
Dusk has relationships with all of his familiars - for no reason other than my own amusement, I'm writing them down
First Friend: self explanatory. Shuppy he lured in with fish - is a shuppy, but he's working on the training aspect and when focused he's a loyal companion.
Strange Son: Dusk went into the Obelisk. Dusk came out. He doesn't like to think about Strange Son anymore than strictly necessary. To his delight, Strange Son makes himself scarce. Most of the time, anyways.
Spite: Another Obelisk gain, although a few days after the fact, Dusk despises Spite. The feeling appears to be mutual. Despite that the bird is still occasionally helpful and Dusk begrudgingly grants it trips to the Obelisk, since even a whole Winter Market made him unable to lose the pesky creature.
Fond: Fond is quiet. Fond is good. Dusk likes fond quite a bit.
Stripes: While First Friend tries to quite frequently eat the fish, Dusk enjoys it's extremely mellow company when he's out in the water.
Flows: Another mellow companion, although thankfully Friend does not try to eat it.
Favored: Favored came into Dusk's life by launching off of him to try and hunt Spite. Dusk is extremely fond and proud of the snake and while Dusk does not play favorites, no matter what anyone says, he is definitely up there.
Little Love: We simply do not talk about how he looks like a certain buck. Beyond that, he is a sweet and stalwart companion.
Dusk tries to not think too much on how all his familiars look like him or kin in his life. It's better for his mental health that way.

Name: Sunset's Paint Acquired: And tia said LET PBPIES HAVE A MELT BABY and it was done Notes: Hot. A playboy. Likes adventure and wandering and pretty kin and art. Not much to say. Status: Extremely, Extremely Open. Naming Dream:Link Sunset's Paint... is an artist. A painter, Sunset is always on the go to find some adventure and experience that he can bring back to his art, or failing that, at least some supplies. A flirt and a playboy, he respects boundaries but can't help but be a tease. His hedonistic nature tends to find him partying more often than painting, but he claims it's all part of the process - after all, art is supposed to be special, right?

Name: Reckless Call Acquired: Naming contest win Notes: Status: Open Naming Dream:Link Reckless call... is unsafe. He spends a large majority of his time exploring(read: crashing) through the swamp in an endless search for something to dispel his boredom - and often finds himself getting in trouble in the process. Flighty and inconsistent, he flits between whatever catches his attention, leaving the instant it becomes boring to him. Reckless and carefree, he's a stubborn and spoiled child, who doesn't understand the concept that he can't always get what he wants. Bold, loud, and a self proclaimed "ladies man", Reckless is probably best avoided, for the most part.
While he has a son that follows him around, Reckless isn't too doting towards him. He loves his son, sure, but he firmly believes that he's old enough to be on his own now and do his own thing and maybe possibly not follow daddy around.
On the same note though, he's never exactly told him to leave him alone and never will.

Up for adventure and a little clueless, she'll find her path eventually. For now she spends her time pretending that she doesn't need her dad, even if it's secretly comforting to have him around.

Name: Soft Words (Whisper) Aquired: Activity Zikwa from Blue when they just came out because I was super active. so dear to my heart ; u ; Notes: In a tribe??? But need to repost the app LOL Status: Open but I'm slightly picky Naming dream:Link Soft Words (Whisper)... is a Zikwa who came to the swamp to learn and explore. Cautious, Whisper makes sure to always think before he speaks or does anything, lest him or Bruise become endangered, as such he is somewhat wary of those he comes upon at first. He has a kind nature though and it is not hard to win him over, so long as you do not give him reason to worry. The minute you appear to be plotting something against him or Bruise though, Whisper will leave you without a care. However, he tries to keep this from happening because he wants to believe in the better good. The Zikwa is also rather soft spoken, often requiring him to repeat something multiple times to hear him or for the other kin to come over.
Whisper is a healer and has a vast amount of knowledge on the plants in the swamp and their uses. He tends to those he finds and teaches Bruise (or anyone who would ask) in his spare time, while also collecting knowledge of his own.
Soft Words found Blurs and Stains when she was young and took her under his wing as he adventured around the swamp, teaching her little bits of healing knowledge as he tended to those he could help, acting as a parental figure to the doe. She took it upon herself to start helping when they came upon those who needed to be buried and the pair has been together ever since. As a result, they are fiercely protective of one another as they travel to heal and comfort others.
Soft Words also has a friendship with By the Roots that began when he stumbled upon one of the Kio's groves one day. They struck up a deal that in exchange for Whisper and Bruse's services, they could take medicinal plants from the groves as needed. They kept meeting each other by chance over time and By the Roots eventually dedicated one of his groves to Whisper, full of medical plants for him to take and tend to. Soft Words only very vaguely knows Timorous through her appearances at some groves he has visited. While they haven't interacted much due to her shyness, he is kind to her as he knows she means no harm.
Spoiler
Applicant: What position in the tribe would they hold?: Healer Personality Summary:
Soft Words (also known as Whisper) is a soft spoken zikwa who came to the swamp to explore and learn more about it. He's a kind and accepting buck once he figures out you aren't a threat and often tries to make others feel better as he goes about his tasks. Intelligent, Soft Word is patient and enjoys learning and teaching all the same. However the buck is not totally without fault and he can jump to conclusions too easily, often leading him to snub those who didn't do really do anything.
Soft Words would work well in the Mothborn as he is extremely driven to heal and holds death in a very high respect. He will follow orders he is given without question and will protect those he holds dear till his last breath, along with working extremely hard to make others better.

Name: Blurs and Stains (Bruise) Acquired: I bribed abbs and abbs said yes Notes: SAME TRIBE AS WHISPER BUT ALSO? NEED TO REDO?? LOL? Status: Open Naming Dream:Link Blurs and Stains (Bruise)... has a mildly disturbing fascination with bones, death, and gravekeeping. While creepy in its own right, she'd probably be less unsettling if she didn't talk about how utterly lovely someone else's death was in cheery and upbeat tones. A tad oblivious to how disturbing she comes off, Bruise is a sweet doe through and through and just wants the best for everyone. While she does mainly focus on death, Bruise will talk about other topics and quite often it's not until later she loses friends when she starts rambling about bones. She's a little lonely and insecure due to this, and as a result Bruise is all too trusting to someone who appears to want to be a new friend, allowing her to be easily used.
Bruise's fascination with death is not idle admiration. Under Whisper's tutelage, Bruise has a small amount of knowledge on how to identify and use plants for healing and poisoning. She also will bury the dead of those who ask to their wishes, taking care of what very few want to do. These times are when Bruise is serious and she very rarely talks except to discuss details of what has to be done.
Soft Words found Blurs and Stains when she was young and took her under his wing as he adventured around the swamp, teaching her little bits of healing knowledge as he tended to those he could help. The young doe took it upon herself to start helping when they came upon those who needed to be buried and the pair has been together ever since. As a result, they are fiercely protective of one another as they travel to heal and comfort others.
Blurs and Stains knows of By the Roots and Timorous, but has not seen them for a long time and doesn't know them very well. All she knows that if she needs help and Whisper isn't around to give it, she can go to them for what she needs.
Spoiler
Applicant: What position in the tribe would they hold?: Piecemaker Personality Summary:
Blurs and Stains (Also known as Bruise) is a rather peppy and happy doe who holds a very healthy and high respect and interest for death, bones, and gravekeeping. While a tad oblivious to others feelings and too trusting, the doe likes to make friends with others and is rather sweet on the whole. She's also quick to learn and enjoys being taught new things.
Blurs and Stains would fit in with the Mothborn as she holds a very healthy respect of the dead and death, as she used to bury the dead for other kin. While peppy and happy, Blurs and Stains becomes very serious and focused in her work and would follow orders without hesitation along with working extremely hard on her task until it was finished. She is not one to leave a task unfinished and has the patience to finish one till the end.

Name: By the Roots Acquired: Rando breeding!! Notes: Unless you're a plant he probably doesn't wanna bang Status: Mostly closed, might be open to a mock with him Naming Dream:Link By the Roots is... somewhat odd. A half breed between a kio and a kimeti, By the Roots is stoic and silent buck who tends to wander the swamp much like his father did. Unlike his father though, who was rather charming in his travels, By the Roots is just odd. If you manage to get past his tough demeanor though, the buck is rather kind and gentle hearted. Down to earth, the Kio has an unusual gift for cultivating plants and he makes small groves of beautiful trees and flowers in the swamp for kin to wander upon. He habitually visits them to do necessary care of them and then is off again, to take care of another grove or to start a new one.
By the Roots is very good friend with Timorous, a doe he found staying in one of his groves who was tending to a small patch of flowers that weren't doing well. From there, their friendship bloomed and now they work as a team, both looking after the groves or in Timorous's case, the doe taking care of them while he plants another. He has made a small grove in dedication to Timorous, one full of very soft colored flowers, nice smelling herbs, and edible plants. They are incredibly close, acting as confidants and caretakers for each other.
By the Roots is also good friends with Soft Words, a Zikwa who made a deal with him for medicinal plants. They slowly became friends over time and he has also dedicated a grove to the Zikwa, one full of medical plants for him to care for and use. By the Roots only vaguely knows of Blurs and Stains, but he knows she is kind and will offer his help to her if she needs it.
Dauntless is Timorous's daughter and By the Roots is very close with her, acting as a paternal figure. Dauntless holds Timorous's affinity for plant care, so he teaches her about the plants while they move about from grove to grove, and occasionally when he joins her to plant a new one. He usually mediates the rare arguments between the mother and daughter and they get along extremely well.

Name: Final Sprint Acquired: Naming contest! Notes: Status: Open Naming Dream: Link Final Sprint... is sweet, spirited, and playful, a doe who's always on the go. She'll love you and leave you, not one to stick around very long. She has no sense of time or commitment, everything free and flowing as she sprints her way through life and ultimately, to the end.

Name: Timorous Acquired: Blue bribe, blue bribe!! Notes: Part of Mother's Club - i need to reapply tho l o l Status: Closed for now as I sort out her ascension plans Timorous... is a wallflower. Incredibly timid and very, very shy, Timorous finds it hard to make friends, although she wants to desperately. Cheery and kind, the doe is rather knowledgeable and has a dry sense of humor, along with a primarily gentle nature. It just comes to happen that when she tries to talk to others, she finds herself not able to meet their gaze and only able to nervously force out sentences to contribute to the conversation in her quiet tone. It's only if she manages to relax around the other does she find herself opening up, rather slowly like a flower. Occasionally, the doe tries to take bold outings from the groves in the swamp to try and meet others, but the usually end in failure from either her shyness preventing confrontation or simply being unable to find anyone.
Timorous's knowledge is primarily on flowers, mostly on how to take care of and preserve the delicate blossoms. She has a fondness for them and takes a great deal of pride in the flowers she manages to cultivate, among some other small herbs she has knowledge in. She is also rather good with small children, although this skill of hers does not tend to crop up much.
Timorous is close friends with By the Roots, a kio who is the primary caretaker of the groves she spends her time in. He found her taking care of a patch of flowers who were not doing well and from there, their friendship bloomed. She and him work as a team, with him doing the planting and checking of groves while she sticks around to spend more time to maintain their beauty. They are best friends, with them giving advice to each other frequently and he has dedicated a grove for the doe. In return, she occasionally hones her skills to make a crude imitation of her flower accessories for him to wear.
Dauntless is Timorous's daughter and the pair gets along very well, with Timorous only really worrying about her daughter when she runs off on one of her frequent adventures. They're very close though and By the Roots acts as a sort of paternal figure to Dauntless. It's very rare the pair argues.

[what if i change the trajectory of your life pt 2 electric boogalo] +2 (soon)
[timorous and the no good very bad horrible awful day and maybe a really nice kio] +5 this is going to be long i know it in my heart tbd
want her to meet a few more kin and start to feel steadier, and realize how she doesn't need to be so scared, that courage is stepping forward despite the fear you still have. need to reread my old rps (send. send help that writing is -roblox oof sound- but. we'll persevere) to figure out what stage she's at. her solo needs to be a Big Big one, and then the mother's club meeting needs to be Even Bigger, probably "end" of her arc ig lol Timorous' Character arc:
Timorous' arc is to become more outgoing, kind, and learning how to help others. Fear may always be present, but she has the power to overcome, and she wants to help others realize that as well.
Other Daughter
acquired: mafia wolf hunt game
gender: male
Other Daughter is a wolf that Timorous found in one of the groves who was injured. After getting close and taking care of him, he decided to stick around with Timorous, who loves him dearly. While he spends most of his time with Timorous, especially when she's moving between groves as he acts like her protector, he's been known to go out on runs with Dauntless or By the Roots. He's named for his unnerving similarity to Dauntless, although Timorous figured out he was male long after the fact. He's a rather patient wolf and incredibly protective of Timorous and her family. He does anything for Timorous (that he can understand) without question.
Named quite literally, Timorous came across Nip from a fishing trip she had where she found herself bit by the rather toothy creature. Come Along came later, and earned their name from it being the most common thing Timorous called them. Both the fish float quite aimlessly behind her, disappearing occasionally to who knows where, but Timorous enjoys their quiet company all the same.

Name: Fragile Acquired: Rejam bribe during stream Notes: Status: Very very very very open Naming Dream: Link Fragile... appears to be aloof and out of reach, everything you want and nothing you need. Behind that façade, Fragile is a rather skittish, unsure doe. She's afraid of most of everything and is quite clumsy, often injuring herself (mostly when running from made up dangers). When she's not being afraid, Fragile is a poet and loves nothing more than making up rhymes about anything and everything. Her favorite poems often question things that she isn't sure are real or not, or are fantastical tales she made up. If she wasn't so nervous, she'd probably speak in rhyme. She often gets closer to others through attempts to gather information through her poetry. So long as one isn't outwardly malicious, she'll eventually be able to be convinced to come near.

Name: Dauntless Acquired: Breeding!! Was the fav of blue incidentally Notes: Status: Open, but I'm a little picky with her Naming Dream: link Dauntless... is bold. Her mother's daughter in sweetness and kindness, she holds a similar affinity for nature having grown up in the groves that her mother maintains. Where Timorous is extremely shy though, Dauntless holds a boldness and welcoming aura for anyone she comes across. Extremely energized, Dauntless often bounces between groves, occasionally leaving to try and find some new kin or other plant to add to the ever growing collection of things she takes care of. However, while similar to her mother Dauntless holds an impishness about her, a slightly devious and trickster side that she shows in small jokes and harmless pranks.
Dauntless is apt at taking care of plants, primarily flowers through her mother's tutelage, but she does have a lot to learn. She's very good at identifying and bringing plants, along with scouting out areas of the swamp that new plants can be placed in, and she's able to transfer plants to other parts and get them to bloom in the new land.
By the Roots is Dauntless's father in a sense. While he's not biologically hers, she considers him to be her father and pesters and runs along with him when he journeys. The pair are close, with him teaching her about plants and other things she pesters him with. He ends up mediating the rare arguments between her and her mother, and she's extremely happy to have him around.
Dauntless has heard of Soft Words and Blurs and Stains, but she has not met them yet at all. She's sure they're fine if they have a grove for just them, but she has no real intention of trying to meet them.
