Over! Congrats Kaya! (Archive)

[Uta]

Name: Basilius (M) Erasma (F)
Personality: As the youngest, this soquili would know his or her place. While they would never dream of actually taking the joy of the kill away from Mother or his/her siblings, they instead, have learned to enjoy what remains. Death leads to decay, and this soquili has no qualms about nibbling on the remains, or rooting out bones, or any other prize that might be leftover from Mother or his/her siblings.

Their reserved nature is inherited more from Gaius, but they would be dedicated to Cordelia, and his or her siblings. I suspect the only time they would truly away was if Cordelia drove them away, or perhaps a bond with one his or her siblings had them following them instead. Additionally, sticking around a family so well-practiced in the art of death does work out on his/her behalf.

They are, perhaps, not the most clever of the siblings--but they are a good, supportive sort of sibling. They are more brawn than brain, but it makes them a good meat shield should a fight get out of hand, or pesky others try to intervene. Prey doesn't always come alone, after all.

This soquili is more a scavenger than killer--though don't underestimate their know how. It is purely out of respect and an understanding of his or her place in the family that this one doensn't take a more active role in taking down prey. Obviously, he or she would be opportunistic enough to kill if left alone--but much prefers playing with, and destroying, hiding, or eating, what remains.

Waste not, want not, after all.

Bonus Question: I suspect this soquili would stick primarily around mother or its siblings. I feel they have a slightly more submissive personality, due to Gaius' influence, but they aren't strong enough willed to travel alone. When they do travel alone, it's never likely far and they would likely return. If Cordelia ever turned on her children, or drove them off, I suspect he'd see if he could following one of the other two (depending on if there are any close bonds).

Even if not, he still might try to lurk nearby -- close enough to be aware of them, but with enough distance not to be a nuisance or problem. Anything for a free kill, after all. They don't do as well alone -- any prey he or she would take down likely would be small game--they're just not as confident in their abilities. That said, they never really had to be -- not with the Firstborn's personality, and Mother's talents.

But he or she is good at cleaning bones, or burying bodies (after a good roll in them, of course). They would likely see themselves as sort of a reaper type character.  

[Melomar]

Name: Tiberius (M), Julia (F)
Personality: Determined and aloof, passionate from afar.

Bonus Question:What will they do once they've become an adult? Will they stick with the mother, go find the father or go on their own way?

They see Cassius/Coco treated differently and want to know why. Why doesn't mother favor the other two as much?

As an adult they will seek out father in search of any answer to why Mother and Father got together. The answer from one parent is not enough. Other questions to be answered: Why is Cassius/Coco favored? Why does mother like death? What is death?

A big quest in this one's life will be a search for the secret to death without dying. To be dead but still animate. They do not want to stop moving, learning, seeking. But maybe death will bring Mother's gaze toward them. Well, if that cannot be achieved, perhaps they will just surround themselves in death.

On the side, they want to have kids and watch them grow towards their inevitable deaths. The process is fascinating and different for every species and individual. Morbid but there would be love in there too. Watching the process of life moving towards death (the whole process, not just death, they will realize!) would probably be a lifelong passion.  

[nekoFayre]

Name: Sebastian (M), Abigail (F)
Personality: wise and playful

Bonus Question: This soquili will stay with mother, would notice the differences of treatment between siblings and his/her self. Would temp to impress mother to try to close the difference in treatment. would learn about death.

Later on would seek his/her father out and learn from him as well.

Then go off on his/her own would meet up with Hadrian orchid and his father about death.  

[ChexaRain]

Name: Aramastus [M], Aramaia [F]
Personality: Detached. Whereas their siblings have more of a response to things around them, this one doesn't. They take no pleasure or joy in most things, with the emotional span of a glass doll most of the time. You never can guess what they're thinking, only that they hold a mild curiousity when things happen, though they rarely express a desire to see new things other than just approaching them.

Bonus Question: Most likely they'll wander off on their own, but come back periodically to see about any 'changes' while they were away, almost as if they're entertained by the idea of change, though they may not express it.  

[Zaikt]

Name: Lorraine (f) / Edric (m)
Personality:
A chaser of the paranormal and profane, this child is destined to be another of their mother's devout followers for the majority of their life. They admire her skill and cunning, and seek to learn some of her ways for their own use--while they certainly do want to learn everything they can from Cordelia, they don't intend to stay in her shadow forever. They seek to improve upon her methods, refining them until they have their own perfected way of luring the unwary; however, they're planning for a much different path than the one she's chosen. The biggest difference is that they don't seek to end the lives of their prey, instead capturing them alive where possible in order to ask all the questions that weigh on them. Ultimately, they wish to observe and catalogue, compiling every scrap of information and fact they can glean from the world into their own private library of knowledge.
They want to know as much as they can about others in order to try and fill in the gaps that they feel--they won't ever have an easy time of understanding how people feel, and relating to emotions on more than a surface level is incredibly difficult for them. They have a theory that if they can understand as much as possible, they can fake their way through social interactions until they actually do get it in a way that matters. Although morality and ethics aren't their strong suit, they really aren't an evil soul--just misguided, and perhaps more than a bit confused. They will always feel as though they're something other, and their clinical nature and emotional distance will only further the distance between themself and others until they finally can find some way to overcome the divide.

Bonus Question: They won't stray too terribly far from Cordelia until they're completely confident in their own skills, at which point they might eventually try to break away from her influence. Even then, they're liable to wander back to her side when they have their moments of doubt and confusion, making for a complicated relationship that will very likely have a lot of quiet disagreements on their end.  

[Silver Metallic Dragon]

Name:Morana (f)/Enosh(M)
Personality:Quiet, observant and patient, this Soquilli knows their place in the family, and has the patience to wait until operativity presents itself. While not a dominant soul, they aren't particularly submissive and tend to take most things in stride. An artist of the macabre, they have a large collection of bones (with a preference for long bones) and other non-living items (feathers, crystals, shells, etc) that they use to create lanterns and other items with to trade on their travels (though some may find them...grisly). While they do not actively seek out death, it seems to follow them around, or they seem to wander up on it. They don't partake in active death, and find their mother's practice rather unappealing. They see beauty in death, but wish to see it happen in a natural way. They are always watching and learning, taking in the everything and everyone around them. They hear much more then they let on, and is a keeper of many secrets. They are interested in others behaviors and relationships, though they themselves don't keep many relationships. Not much for conversation, they usually don't have much to say. But, if the needs to speak arises, they have well earned wisdom to share.

Bonus Question:While I see them visiting their mother and meeting their father, I mostly see a solitary soul without much of an urge to linger. They wander throughout the lands, collecting various trinkets and watching others. Perhaps one day they themselves will have a family, though they probably won't stick with one partner.  

[Artymus]

Name: Hel (F), Hod (M)
Personality: Rather melancholy, they don't find joy in causing the death of others. Instead, they have accepted that death will come for all, and that it is just another part of life. They often wander behind their mother and siblings, praying for the souls of those gone, hoping they move on. They feel drawn to actively helping them find peace.

Bonus Question: Once an adult, they will move on so as to travel and begin praying for other souls who've been lost, hoping to guide them into the afterlife. Most likely, they'd return at least a couple of times a year to pray for those who have fallen to their mother and siblings, and to bring them things from their travels.
