• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Land of Twilight (OOC and Signups)

Name: Abraxas
Age: Approx. 5000 years
Gender: Male
Species: Catoblepas
Side: Good
Source: http://www.pantheon.org/articles/c/catoblepas.html
Bio: Abraxas is the king of the Catoblepas Nation. He was the first to unite the disparate catoblepas herds into a single nation and end their hunting at the hands of other races, who killed them for their near-impenatrable hides. When the Wicked Witch Ming began her reign of terror, Abraxas joined forces with Kitsune to protect his people.
Personality: Abraxas is deeply serious and a very proud creature. He is protective of his people and slightly xenophobic and distrustful of other races.
Appearance: This.
Other: None.
 
Name: Eirian


Age: 4000 years, give or take a few centuries. Time doesn't matter much to her.


Gender: Female


Species: Cwn Annwn


Side: Good


Source: Blah


Bio: Eirian was one of the first Cwn Annwn to be created when Gwyn ap Nudd began the tradition of the Wild Hunt and is, thus, one of the most powerful. Annwn, and the landscape of Twilight by night, were all she knew, but it didn't ever bother her - there was little on the ground that interested her. Her life has been defined by Hunts through the sky, and the rare escort for those who had passed on - nothing that involved those below her. The affairs of Annwn were hardly the affairs of the rest of the world. It was no surprise that she didn't notice the shift in power until quite recently, but the dark energy was a threat, and it could not be ignored now that she had finally sensed it. There was no choice involved - a threat to Annwn instantly became something personal.


Personality: Eirian takes her duty very seriously. As in, 'get in my way and I will kill you and do it as efficiently as possible so I can do what I'm supposed to'. She isn't emotionless, but she can't quite understand most concepts that others are so familiar with. She doesn't eat, doesn't need to sleep, and has no idea why anyone cares about being comfortable. As such, she doesn't have much of a sense of humour, and isn't above being manipulative and malicious to fulfill her duty. One could call her a zealot, but she knows perfectly well what's she's doing - it just doesn't matter enough for her to care about it.

Appearance:

Other: Horrible quality, sorry... x_x I do like this myth though. XD And she isn't so anorexic as in the picture? She glows and looks all otherworldly.
 
Reserve a spot please, I'm typing the profile now.




EDIT:

Name: Chimani

Age: 1,100, but she doesn't keep track.

Gender: Female

Species: Nine-tailed Kitsune

Side: Good

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune

Bio: For most of the more than a millennium that Chimani has lived, she has observed peace and liked it. She has caused a bit of mild chaos herself; turning into human form after dark and appearing at pubs, seducing young drunken men then leaving in the middle of the night so they’d wake up even more confused and disoriented than they would normally. Then the Twilight started to spread, and Chimani became restless, leaving her den earlier than she normally would every night. That served a purpose, as one day there were guards and hunters sent by the Witch surrounding it, looking to kill her.

She wants the Witch gone so she can have her home back. Those human hunters that had come to kill her were destroyed by her own paw – as a fox, she used the kitsune-bi (fox-fire) in her jewel to guide them into the depths of a nearby forest then ripped their throats out – but the inhuman soldiers would not fall for it and remained, weapons in hand. She feels that if the Witch is dead, the guards will die off too, and she will continue to live comfortably in her den once more.

Personality: Though many percieve the older beings to be the wiser ones, Chimani isn’t like this at all. She is foolish and temperamental, and she likes to provoke when tension is high. However, she does not do this amongst allies who have gained her respect. She does not like to appear around strangers as a fox, instead using her ability to transform into a human before she does go out into public.

Appearance: A white fox with nine tails, hazel eyes and a glowing red jewel held by one of her tails, whilst she claims that form. As a human, she is blond-haired and wears a simple white gown and sandals. Her eyes remain the same color.

Other: Haha I’m going to look like such a weeaboo for this ><

Okay, this is kind of pushing it, but would a dopplegangar count? They're in Norwegian mythology.. kinda. >>


Name: Rui
Age: Older than anyone can keep track of
Gender: Female
Species: Kirin/Qilin
Side: Good
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qilin
Personality: Calm, shy, and very quiet. Rui is very, very gentle and never aggressive.. unless anything good and pure is being threatened by evil. Then she can and will attack fiercely, breathing fire or doing anything necessary to protect what is good. She appears childish and naive, but is actually a very wise creature.. not that she often cares to show it.
Appearance: (This is going to sound strange, so I may just need to do a picture) Rui looks like a mishmash of several different creatures. Her overall body shape is similar to a deer, with tiny, delicate looking hooves and huge brown eyes. Instead of fur, she has sparkling dark blue and green scales like a fish. Her tail looks like a lion's, and she has a mane of white fur like a horse.
Other: Nope.

Accepted~

Alright Everyone, listen up!

When I return back home, I'll be starting this. I'll make a new thread and link it from here to there.

This is your last chance to join before we begin.
 
Name: Mal (A sort-of pun..)
Age: N/A
Gender: It, prefers to be referred to as she
Species: Vardøger (AKA Doppelganger.. kind of.)
Side: Good
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vardøger
Personality: Mal is a bit of a joker and enjoys confusing people and pulling pranks, which is easy to do, given what she is. She is rather easily frightened and can't stand being by herself. Because of that she will make excuses to follow people around just so that she doesn't have to be alone.
Appearance: Normally, Mal has no form and doesn't look like anything at all. However, this is very rare, as she is almost always mimicking something or at least has a form. When she is copying someone, she looks exactly like them. When she isn't, she prefers to take the form of a shadowy humanoid figure made of shadow.
Other: I hope this is allowed.. >>
 
Name: Zeta

Age: 90

Gender: Male

Species: Owlman

Side: Good

Source: Owlman

Bio: First sighted in 1926, Zeta was instantly killed and reborn as an Owlman somewhere else. He roamed the town in secret and was only spotted by a few from then on. When secluded he spent most of his time in the depths of nearby woods where no one would find him.

In 1926, he spotted a pair of tasty-looking human boys to have for dinner. He swooped upon them, but they hid behind a grate. Screeching in frustration, he furiously pecked at the metal to try and dislodge it. After about thirty seconds he turned and flew away, only to be killed suddenly with a loud bang.

After that he was instantly reborn so he didn't have to exist for such a short time. On April 17, fifty years later, what caught his eye was a large cross on the front of the church. Forgetting not to near humans unless he needed to, he flew over the church tower to take a look at it. A few months later he wanted to go back and remember what the church was like, so he hovered above the tower again, thankfully keeping himself safe high in the air. From then on he visited the church regularly, only to stop after two years when he lost interest in it.

Eleven years after he stopped "going to church" in 1978, he met up with a man and his daughter in the woods, maniacally flying away after a second.

In his most recent encounter with humans, Zeta didn't even know he was being viewed, but fortunately hid himself in the trees a few seconds later.

Personality: Zeta doesn't like being ordered around (unless by someone of a superior rank) and likes to work as a spy, for he camouflages against the starry night canvas. He's very loyal but can get reckless during a battle, so someone always needs to keep a good eye on him. He's very agile and uses it to his advantage during a fight. He prefers dodging maneuvers and does his best to protect his allies.

Appearance: From what the people who have seen him describe him (and are correct), he is a great horned owl with silvery-gray feathers and clawed wings. One said he has "a ghastly face, a wide mouth, glowing red eyes and pointed ears." He's about five feet tall and from the front view has two visible toes with black, pincer-like claws. Some of his neutral-toned feathers are streaked with brown.

Evoli- *sigh* I'll let it slide with the second character, because we need more good guys.

Cryptica- The source is ok. But I want more Bio and how they lived. Also, he couldn't have seen the Witch. No one has seen the witch, ever. You have no clue what she looks like, like everyone else in the good group, ok?

Zora- Now. It'll start now. Get ready for it.
 
((Hm.. Alright, I just assumed we saw the witch when you mentioned her in the plot (yes, I'm dumb that way). I edited a lot more into the bio...))
 
Boo. :3

Can I reserve a spot until I think of a myth to get a character from? I'm still a little confused on this, so I need a little time. Two days tops.
 
I have a question.

Is it alright if there's two of the same species controlled by different people?
A friend of mine wants to join, but she wants to know this first.

EDIT:
*points down* Yeah, she's who I was talking about. We discussed it previously, so I'm fine with her being Chimani's sister if you are.
If she's accepted, I'll edit my Bio accordingly. >>

I was the friend she was talking about.

Name: Ayame

Age: 1,100 (Chimani is her twin)

Gender: Female

Species: Kitsune

Side: Good

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune


Bio: I can't think of one....but she is trying to stop the Twilight so her sister can be safe.

Personality: She's quiet and softspoken. She is also very trusting, but she is not naive. She cares very much about her sister. She doesn't really like to fight, but she will if she has to.

Appearance: A white fox with nine tails, like Chimani. She has green eyes and wears a green magatama (curved beads from Japan, but it looks more like the popular culture version, a solitary 9-shaped gem). She rarely goes into human form.

Other: I am capable of being semi-literate. I will try hard to be it.
