Part I – The Sentinel

Player: bluekoinu
Name: Fable
Nicknames: n/a
Species: Sentinel of Noctua
Age: Young Adult
Hatch Date: 29/02/2008
Type: Ghost
Task: Scout
Personality: Fable is easygoing and is most happy when out flying. She enjoys her space and is perfectly happy spending most of her night patrolling the forest with her companion. A little shy to those she doesn’t know very well, once the ice is broken she can be quite talkative. Fable is extremely loyal to her family and those close to her. She takes her duty very seriously and is constantly training to hone and improve her skills. Fable’s small downfall is she can be a little too gullible for her own good, though as she has grown she has become slightly less so. Once she has been tricked into believing something, she has a hard time accepting that she might not actually be right, after all. She doesn't like being told that she is wrong
History: Fable was the second born chick in a clutch of two eggs. She shares a close bond with her brother and they support each other in everything they do. In fact she was afraid to take her first flight due to (oddly enough) a fear of heights. Her parents tried to encourage her in taking flight but she absolutely refused. Her brother who had already taken wing was the one that was able to help her take the first jump. After that first initial jump, her fear evaporated; it was a lot more fun than she had thought. She has practiced very hard to become better and blossomed into an extremely talented and speedy flier. Her mother had high hopes that her daughter would become a minder, however her father felt her growing talent in flying would lead to a different task. Sure enough shortly after taking to the air, she ran into the infamous scout, The Shadowstalker, when she accidentally fell from the safety of the trees. This encounter made Fable quickly idolize him and to want to be just like him. Training extra diligently from that point on, she hopes to rise up in the ranks and be honored for her achievements.
Territory: She is still searching for her perfect territory but for now she is fairly flexible on where she roosts; preferring not to stay in one location for very long.
Mate: none
Companions: Yes
Certificate: User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.


Part II – Companions

Name: Piper
Species: Parus
Age: Young
Speech Ability: 2
Intelligence: 3
Skill: An extremely agile flier, he is a companion for Fable and loves to sing. He rarely speaks even though he does have the ability. He was given to Fable by her parents when she was a fledgling and has become highly valued by his mistress.


Edit:re-wrote Fable's history a bit and updated her cert's address

Quote:
You still have a few grammatical problems in this form, and some awkward sentences. This one: "She does find it hard to accept the truth not liking being told she was wrong," for example, is still a bit strange. It makes it seem as though she has a hard time accepting any truth, especially the sort of truths that don't like being told that she was wrong. See what I mean?

I'd try something a bit more along the lines of "Once she has been tricked into believing something, she has a hard time accepting that she might not actually be right, after all. She doesn't like being told that she is wrong."

This is also a sentence that is slightly wonky: "Her parents tried to encourage her in taking flight but absolutely refused." You need to put a "she" between the "but" and the "absolutely", or you need to specify what it was that her parents absolutely refused.

This one is just about grammar: "it was a lot more fun then she thought." "Than," not "then," and add a "had" between "she" and "thought." That's it.

Oh, and you've got a few surplus : marks up there, too. Take them out and fix the grammar nitpicks, and you're set to go!


Thanks biggrin I made all the changes.

Player: MoonKitsune
Name: Rosemary
Nicknames: Rose, Mary
Species: Sentinel of Noctua
Age: Middle aged
Hatch Date: September, 1
Type: Shadow
Task: Artisan
Personality: Old age has left Rosemary more mature than in her more free-spirited youth, but she still sees the world in a vibrant and beautiful way. She’s the type of Sentinel to stand out in the rain and talk to the sky, or thanking the ground as she picks flowers to serve as inspiration for dyes. The Shadow holds a strong fondness for nature and the mysticism of Noctua itself. (Very superstitious, she talks of Mystics to explain life’s mysteries though isn’t against making up stories to entertain herself and others.) This is new, and it sound interesting, but I don't really understand what you mean. Could you clarify a little? Perhaps rephrase, somehow? If she hadn’t been a Artisan, Rosemary would have been a Bard, as she still sings the songs that her mate once sang and a few that she created herself with his aid.
History: There is nothing truly remarkable about Rosemary’s childhood. She graduated as an Artisan with moderately conservative parents. She was enamored with color, and spoke of the world in an idealistic way. She loved being outside and would often spend her time out (there) even during the day, though not too far from her home. With a modest territory, she worked diligently, though was not very reliable to be on time, and loved to prattle with others. Sentinels loved her new designs and remarkable touch of realism in regards to designs that worked off of preexisting patterns, like tree bark or insect designs. Her reputation gained her business and the eye of Willowstone, a bard who also held a lot of love for the world around him, as much as for the past history of Noctua. Both artists instantly found a connection. Both young, they moved together and worked, inspiring one another and filling their territory with art and music. It wasn’t long before Rosemary had her own hatchling and in the nature of her love of the world and color, named him Rainbowchaser. However, her fantasies of raising a child in a world of open creativity were shaken to a hatchling that showed little to no interest and, inexperienced, she later found herself struggling to raise her own child. Later, for unexplained reasons, she gave up her first hatchling to the Minders.
After a while, Rosemary became scarcer and her clients were fewer between. However, when a Sentinel does come bearing a very startling dye job, no one has to guess where it came from. Her skill has gained her notoriety in the past, but through the years, word of the Artisan has grown fainter to the point that talk has almost completely vanished, like the Artisan herself.
Territory: Rosemary and Willowstone live in the west end of the Not-Cold region, near the borders of the Great Western Open. (Rosemary found the exotic wildlife she liked more plentiful there and Willowstone, going with his mate’s wishes, moved in the area far from the Deep Woods. This meant he often was off in-between traveling from home to the meeting places in Deep Woods to hear the latest news.)
Mate: Willowstone – Deceased
Companions: Yes
Certificate: ((In the works))

Part II – Companions

Name: Saffron
Species: Parus
Age: Adult
Speech Ability: 3
Intelligence: 4
Skill: Gathering

This is really great! You have done a terrific job on her! I can't wait to see her out and about in Noctua. Only a few minor nitpicks now (marked in the text), and she'll be ready to go!
