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.

[ Three. He did say he had to relive it three times before she went to him. ]

I'm sorry...

[ He's patiently lacing his fingers together. ]

It's something I will live with. They didn't deserve to die, and I wouldn't want to forget them.

[ P-ping.

She doesn't turn to look at him, eyes fixed out the window. She's uttering names very quietly, names that will mean nothing to Coren. But they're odd. The first set are obviously not the names of people... But the second are and there's a noticeable pause before the last, as if the inclusion is new. Admiral David Anderson.

She can still remember the names Coren screamed as his priests were murdered. But to say them... ]

You won't. Neither will I.

[ Leaning his head back quite humanly. ]

War costs the lives of a lot of people. I thought at one point it was alright to not take sides.

[ Seemingly out of nowhere.]
Why can't you sleep?

[ She'd question what gave him that idea and try to twist around the question, but... well, after that it'd be unfair. Plus she probably sounds like she's going to drop dead. ]

... Same reason.

[ This is a face betraying nothing. :I ]

You're a very strong woman, but you are going to wear yourself out if you do not rest.

[ Weak laugh, staring out of the window almost as if she's waiting for something to happen. ]

It's not for lack of trying. That's why... I came to see you.

[ Nightmares then? ]

You have my attention. What do you need?

Re: Day 108, Very Early Morning

[personal profile] cloak_and_sniper 2012-12-30 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I told you I'd bring you regular offerings, didn't I?

[ Pause. This is... difficult to ask. But she needs to sleep if she's going to be prepared for everything that's inevitably about to happen. ]

Take my energy.

[ That's quite unexpected. After a moment he nods slowly and holds a hand out - not quite in her direction, but precise enough. His voice sounds like this is a condition:]

Only enough for you to rest.

Take my hand, and sit down before you hurt yourself.

[ She sits beside him, considering his hand. Despite asking, she's hesitant. The hope is it makes her tired enough to pass out without any nightmares, but that isn't guaranteed. ]

... Thank you.

[ Grab. ]

[ The drain of energy is measured compared to the last time he used it. Exhaustion overcomes Jane quickly, enough that she'll either have to lean back or to the side as she rapidly falls asleep. Passing out to dreamless sleep for several hours - at least until dawn. ]

[ S-squeezes his hand as she slumps, head bowing forward as her body tips to the side. Sorry Coren, she's kind of leaning on you now, she didn't really have time to adjust where she was going to lean.

Glorious sleep! ]

[ As she begins to lean, he can feel the shift in weight and his hand guides her down until her head is resting on his knee as he sits indian style on the floor. A slight shake of his head as if she's a child and a down comforter appears hovering for a few moments before it lowers over her up to her shoulder. He'll stay there the rest of the night until it's obvious she's waking, but while she's asleep he sighs. ]

Jane, would you like to be one of my Crows?

[ She can't hear him and she won't remember it, but he takes a deep breath after. Maybe even a god has to work up the nerve to ask such things. ]

Nevermind. Good night.
