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.

Day 88, morning

[ Having BRAVED THE PUPPIES!! a tense girl makes her way past the shrines...

...and stops to wander over to the birds, curiously. That's new. ]

[For now, there are just birds around the area, no signs of any new structures. They all look quite sleepy and content hanging off to the side of the other shrines.]
deretsune: (My heart still unfound)

[ Cautiously reaches up to touch one, gently running a finger over its breast '-'a ]

[ It ruffles its feathers as it wakes and, puffing all over before each smooths down in turn. A male's voice floats somewhere among the abstract aviary, whispers in your ear. ]

They like that.
deretsune: (I met a golden swan)

[ She jumps a little at the voice, hesitating... but keeps petting, gently. ]

...I like birds. It's nice seeing something that isn't trying to kill me, too.

The birds in here won't, but outside, they can be dangerous when provoked.
deretsune: (Under the stars at night)

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] deretsune 2012-10-25 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be careful, then.

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] confined 2012-10-25 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a good idea.

[the voice feels more substantial now, physically close:] Was there something you needed?
deretsune: (To plant inside of me)

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] deretsune 2012-10-25 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... mostly I was curious, but-- you give blankets?

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] confined 2012-10-25 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[A presence hovers, but it still feels distant.]

Those filled with feathers, yes.
deretsune: (I sang the song to everyone)

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] deretsune 2012-10-25 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd like to get one, if that's possible...

...You weren't here before, right? I'm Akimoto Natsume.

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] confined 2012-10-25 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I was, but I couldn't appear. My name is Coren.

I don't think I'll give out any blankets today. Maybe you should come back tomorrow.

[ Seems a bit surprised. ]

...I will, but-- what if I showed you something interesting?

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] confined 2012-10-25 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll see.

[ Several of the birds have woken up and turned to look. You have an audience. ]

[ She pauses, staring at the birds... Then, after a thoughtful pause, holds out her arm.

...A bird, identical to the one she was petting, flutters down onto her arm. Then another, perhaps the one sitting, and another-- until the whole flock, or what could fit, is perched on her arms and head.

Exactly the same, down to the tiny filaments of their feathers and the littlest fleck of color. ]

[ The birds flap excitedly, and one by one your illusions dissipate, some drawing together until they form flat shapes, feathers turning to fabric. Your perseverance is rewarded with twice the number of blankets you requested originally. ]

It's nice to see that not all people hate gods here.

Thank you. We were entertained.

[ How human of the birds to tap their wings together, beaks chattering as if giving a round of applause.]

[personal profile] deretsune 2012-10-25 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...Dude!!! She hugs the blankets, more surprised that it worked than that he could break her illusion. She laughs lightly, though, a little embarrassed by the applause. ]

O-oh, thank you-- I wouldn't hate you, um, unless you did something to earn it.

But if you'd like, I can come back tomorrow anyway...? I don't get many chances to use my illusions, so... And I miss performing.

Come when you please. The only time we will not be here is if it is storming.

[personal profile] deretsune 2012-10-25 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt I'd be out either...

Your name is Coren-sama, right? It was nice to meet you.

[Well his mistrust of gods is controlled enough that he can at least check out the new god--

--oh, he offers bows and arrows and quivers. So conflicted.

Very hesitantly approaching the shrine. Yes, he loves birds, and they aren't acting crazy and violent. Carefully reaching out to one of the birds, very lightly brushing his fingers over its feathers.]

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] confined 2012-10-27 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The blue finch ruffles its feathers, watching you. For now, there's no sign of anything but birds in the area, lurking to the side of the other shrines. A male's voice floats somewhere among the abstract aviary, and whispers in your ear. ]

It's fine if you just want to appreciate them.

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] confined 2012-10-27 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Come again, sometime.

They get lonely when forgotten.

[Predictably, he quickly withdraws his hand and yelps.]

--Where...?

[LOOKING AROUND. You'd think he would be used to this sort of thing by now.]

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] confined 2012-10-29 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ 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.
slayerofgiants: (How far?)

Re: Day 88, morning

[personal profile] slayerofgiants 2012-10-29 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
[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?
