Coren (Event Only)

[oi_theoi]

(( 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.

Re: Day 88, Night

[nodding:] It would be safer to stay here.

Re: Day 88, Night

[misterious]

[ So her hearing and memory are still functional. Good. ]

I won't debate that. What about areas outside that've been reclaimed and secured?

Re: Day 88, Night

[confined]

[He seems silent and thoughtful for a moment, and the bird watches her curiously.]

Those are as safe as you make them.

Re: Day 88, Night

[misterious]

[ Watching the bird, watching her. ]

[ Another statement she can't argue with, though this conversation is more about getting things straight rather than debating. ]

No faith in the god responsible for providing those services?

Re: Day 88, Night

Is this actually a question for me?

Re: Day 88, Night

[misterious]

The gods, much like people, seem to have varied personalities, likes and dislikes, beyond what's displayed on the directory. Inter-god relations is a personal interest of mine.

[ Because no one likes being blindsided by unpleasant surprises like S'vx's grudge against Selyir. ]

You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but that just raises questions of its own.

Re: Day 88, Night

You are asking me about my relationship with the other gods, I see.

I keep my distance from most of them, because that's safer. But,.. [He certainly seems distracted, never quite looking at her, but if you're sensitive to those things, his attention is very focused despite that.]

... you'll find quickly that I do not favor those who sided against us and started this war. [His tone is nearly growling, and that static aspect has started to come out, distorting it. There's a very long pause as his voice quiets.]

... Is it going to rain today?

Re: Day 88, Night

[misterious]

[ She notices pretty much everything: microexpressions, shifts in body language and tone; her life was devoted to the study of those things in pursuit of solving crimes to uncover the Truth.

And it's something she still uses. ]

Rain? Hopefully not for a while.

Who is maintaining your distance safer for?

Re: Day 88, Night

[confined]

[Then she'll notice right away from body language alone that he's blind, but it seems the bird is watching her every movement instead. Even when he looks back, it's not quite at the right spot, but very close. Visible relaxation at the lack of rain.]

Myself, and all of you as well.
