Welcome to Gaia! ::

Occupants:

Ridaka - Ridaka is a gray centaur who is twin to Rhea Aufers the neko. Despite being male, he enjoys his pregnancy and looks forward to having little centaurs soon. He is expecting four little ones: two half fairy, one half mermaid, and another half naga. His current cravings include peanut butter, cheesy products, pickles, and ice cream. He is extremely excitable and easy to startle at times, but otherwise, he is very easy to get along with.

Rufus aka Tim Diamond - Rufus is a young, albino rat. He, like most rats, enjoys stealing food and shiny objects. He owns a small blue cape and mask that, when worn, change his identity to Tim Diamond, Super Rat. Tim Diamond isn't really too much of a change from Rufus, except for the fact that whoever/whatever he decides to chew on is deemed evil by Ridaka.

Sunukkuhkau - Simply called Sunu by Ridaka and others; he just showed up a few days ago. He is somehow able to disappear into the shadows when the time is right. Ridaka is the only other one able to follow him when he does this. He and Ridaka seem to have already established a relationship, even though they just met. Sunu is an expert potion maker. Although he often makes too many and tries to push them off on others.

Nasui - The first of Ridaka's children, her "father" is Sarin. Being half-fairy, she is cute, bubbly, and very outgoing. She enjoys eating candy and doing girl things. Although she is not beyond beating someone up if they insult her or one of her younger brothers. Of all of Ridaka's children, she is the easiest to befriend. Just stay on her good side, and you'll be fine.

Neytre - Ridaka's second foal and first son, his "father" is Mei. Mei was a mermaid at the time of impregnation, so his lower half is a seahorse. Spending most of his time completely submerged in water, he rarely comes to the surface. Because of this, some would think him anti-social. This is not the case; he loves being around people. Though, due to the fact that he can't breath well above water, he just waits below for a friend willing to come down to meet him.

Dovan - The third child of Ridaka, his "father" is Sarin. He is shy and can often be found hiding behind either Ridaka or his older sister, Nasui. Once you get past all of the shyness and hiding, he is actually quite pleasant to be near. He picks his friends carefully and is completely loyal to anyone given the privilege. If they told him to go jump off of a bridge, he'd do it without question. Good thing he has wings, huh?

Shun'fandell - The last and youngest of Ridaka's offspring, his "father" is Malus. Being half-naga, his entire lower half is covered in scales, including his tail. A little on the eccentric side, his favorite pastime is mixing dangerous and extrememly explosive chemicals together and tossing them at random people. Of all of Ridaka's children, he is probably the hardest to befriend, as he likes to insult people he only just met. Though, if you are trying to get his attention, calling him by his entire name is probably your best bet. Nicknames are reserved for family only.

o.o Sunu~ We have a visitor~ *motions for Tobo to join him on his hay pile*

*Sunu looks up from an odd mixture he is experimenting with* Greetings, Tobo. How nice of you to visit us. *goes back to his mixture, throwing a pinch of herbs into it and causing it to make a low rumbling noise* Do not mind me. I will be finished shortly.

I've been feeling pretty good~ A bit sleepy, but taking finals does that to me~ o.o Actually... I'm not quite sure what Sunu is doing~ I think he's making some sort of potion~

*Sunu tosses in a few red fleshy lumps of goo then looks up* It is indeed a potion. *drops a large, egg-shaped stone in, making the mixture bubble and turn purple* This potion will make it so that your little friend, Rufus, will no longer feel the effects of those drugged cookies. *begins to stir the mixture*

Yeah~ Tomorrow is the end of it~ Then I'll be done for good~ No more school for me~ *looks to Rufus on the pillow* Poor Rufus~ He's been in and out of sleep all day~ I hope that potion works, Sunu~

*Sunu stirs the mixture counterclockwise four times, then clockwise twice, then goes back to counterclockwise* Oh, it works, alright. *sticks his finger in then pulls it back out quickly* The only known side effect is a very slight discoloration of the body hair. So it may change Rufus' fur color for a while. But that's it. *stirs the mixture until it turns to a pale fuchsia* There. It is finished. *puts some of the mixture into a bottle* We'll give it to him when next he wakes up.

A most interesting concoction, indeed~ Will it turn him pink~? *stares at the color of the potion*

*Sunu nods to Tobo's question* Quite often. I have many other potions stored away in the darkness. I could make one for you, if you like. *glances toward the shadows before addressing Ridaka's question* It is really hard to tell what color he will become. That potion has the potential to turn him any color on the spectrum.

Colorful Rufus~ *goes to sit next to Rufus*

*Sunu grins slightly at the raccoon* A potion can do anything, if you use the right one... They can change your hair color, make you immune to various poisons, make you sprout horns... Even cause a male to become pregnant. *turns away from the raccoon for a moment* But that's up to you. I can make anything you want.

*Sunu shrugs* I never said that's the only thing a potion can be made for. There are many other kinds. Was there ever something you wanted to be able to do but couldn't? Like flying, or running really fast? I can make a potion that allows you to do that.

*Rufus begins to wake up slowly*

*grabs the bottle and gives some of the potion to Rufus* Here you go, Rufus~ Get better quickly~

*Rufus notices the strange taste in his mouth and tries to spit it back out, but in the end swallows it. He is suddenly very awake and now is colored jet-black*

*stares at Rufus' color change* Black~? Well, at least the potion worked~
