Coren (Event Only)

(( OOC NOTE: COREN IS NOW A NEUTRAL GOD AND NO LONGER WITHIN THE HEADQUARTERS. ))


Coren
Plasma, Birds, Illusions, Oaths, Lightning

❧ Played by Stormy
Appearance: A very pale, slender caucasian male who stands just taller than whoever calls him. His hair is a warm cinnamon, gently tousled, and inky smooth to the touch, and it falls in long layers, framing his face, stopping in a crop near his chin with several very long pieces coming from the back of his neck and falling to his rear. The longer ponytail of hair turns into feathers at the end, and when angered, his hair hackles and seems to break into feathers rather than strands. There’s a discreet illumination to his eyelashes and to the thinner portions of his skin in darkness and dim light that looks almost shingled the way pieces lay together. He’s usually in a uniform, the jacket a floor hugging double-breasted military style, lapels lined with feathers that graze along his chin. One hand is often covered with a large black leather glove, a single white owl perched on top of it.

Characteristics: Distant, cautious, concerned, moody, reclusive, aloof, vengeful, distrustful.

Likes: Characters who are able to break free from their emotional or physical chains and express or do exactly what they mean, grudges, feathered jewelry, bravery, protectiveness, attention, frequent visitors, those who sing, astrophysics, wings, those who have scars or something interesting with their eyes. Those who keep their promises.

Dislikes: Wastefulness, betrayal, storms (especially lightning), injuries pertaining to eyes, nature gods (but not nature in general), insanity, things out of place.
Shrine: This god will make an appearance if you know his name and need his presence, or sometimes if you interact with the birds loitering around the area. For now, there is no shrine here.

(( OOC NOTE: COREN IS NOW A NEUTRAL GOD AND NO LONGER WITHIN THE HEADQUARTERS. ))


Ritual: You must call his name or interact with the birds to gain his attention.

[ Out of the corner of your eye, you might spot him sitting off to the side, away from the windows with a white owl resting on his arm. He's half seated in shadow, but that makes all his features glow softly with a blue luminescent quality to them.]

Here.

[Wander snaps his head in Coren's direction, but doesn't move any closer. It takes a moment of him simply studying the god before speaking, wearily.]

You...are Coren?

I am. And you are?

[Watching the owl. Mostly making sure it doesn't fly at him and try to peck his eyes out. God paranoia at its finest.]

Um, Wander.

[A moment goes by before very hesitantly (and awkwardly), he places his palms together and bows very lightly.]

You really don't need to do that.

[What, DON'T TAKE THAT AS A SIGN OF WORSHIP OR ANYTHING!]

I was just -- I mean, it is only proper. When meeting someone, I mean.

[Though this is the first god he has greeted normally. He's not sure why.]

[personal profile] confined 2012-10-29 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Is it where you come from? Well then.. Thank you for greeting me without a fist. [chuckle]

What kind of world do you come from?
slayerofgiants: (...)

[Without a fist? He hates gods and all but not even he would do that! Now he's wondering if someone tried to punch a god.]

[Thrown a little by the question.]

I...did not know much about anything beyond my village.

If you would describe that then..?
slayerofgiants: (Looking Away)

[The most suspicious look he can muster. His words are careful, as if saying the wrong thing could mean something terrible will happen.]

...It was the kind of village that was very small and isolated, but we were all very close.

[That is just the general story he gives, of course.]

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] confined 2012-10-29 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ A few birds have come closer, craned their heads to look at Wander. Coren reaches up with his free hand and gestures toward their general direction, never meeting Wander's eyes, though he looks his way.]

These few birds were in a village similar. They might enjoy your company for a bit if you'd like to play with them.

[Looking at the birds. A part of him wants to inch away but they seem so...normal.]

[He reaches out to one of them, exactly like he had done before, and lightly pets one.]

[He speaks a bit absently, recalling a memory.] I used to sit in the trees with birds like these...

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] confined 2012-10-29 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Suppresses a smile, and looks away, vanishing. A lingering hum to his voice that sounds like static as the birds stay, but the god vanishes. ]

They're no different, but they do miss the trees.
slayerofgiants: (How far?)

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] slayerofgiants 2012-10-29 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[The vanishing thing these gods do, he'll never get used to.]

So do I.

[There's a look on Wander's face, as if realizing that he said something he shouldn't have.]

Um, these birds come from someplace beside Thusia?

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] confined 2012-10-29 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No, they are all native to Thusia. These were from a village on the coast before the flood. They had cut down most of the trees there.

[ If you're perceptive, there's an additional bird among the mix, a slightly larger owlish creature with long feathers like a cool toned pheonix, and gently glowing eyes. The voice doesn't seem to be coming from it. ]

Was there something you needed, Wander?
slayerofgiants: (Before)

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] slayerofgiants 2012-10-31 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't notice the bird straight away as his mind is occupied with thoughts of Thusia before the flood. What was it like? What were the people like? But when he's asked a question, he snaps out of his thoughts. It is then when he notices the bird.]

Oh...um. [Wait, there had been a reason he came here, besides checking out the new god, wasn't there?] Oh, you give arrows, correct?

(( ooc: whelp. terribly sorry. notifications got lost. ))




I do. Bows, quivers, and arrows are all things I can provide.

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] slayerofgiants 2012-11-05 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Then...what would I do for some arrows?
