Welcome to Gaia! ::

Beliefs
Eiru believes that there is life energy in everything. When something is loved and cherished, a sort of soul forms in the object and when that need and love dies so does the 'soul'. This is from their belief that the world is in fact made up of two different realms. The world in which we live in and the next world, a world of souls and spirits, with only a small veil to separate the two.

Due to these beliefs, those in Eiru are extremely respectful of ancestors who have passed on and anything that may have held a soul. It is custom to occasionally leave offerings at gravesites or at the shrines on tribal lands.

Eiru also believes that, on certain times of the year, the veil rips or disappears allowing souls and other spirits cross over into our world. Most of the time the rift isn't great and they hold a festival to appease the lost souls that might try to get through.

However, during Halloween, the veil disappears almost completely. During the day the tribe throw a massive feast as a way of honoring those that have come before them and the spirits already here and living in Nature. At night they believe angry ghosts will prowl for unsuspecting victims and they dress up and perform tricks in order to scare away and confuse the ghosts. This is to keep the ghosts from trying to gain a new body to live in this world.

Story

Apollyon: um... the real story will show up eventually
Lucifer: Highly unlikely

Modifications (Jewelry and Tatto)

Tribe Jewelry: can be in any color and anywhere on the body.

Tribe tattoo: any color and any place on the body

Tribe members:
The Elder is the fox that watches over the tribe. All final decisions are made by this fox. The responsibility of the tribe and its safety falls to him. Can pray and speak to the Modeity. Also partially responsible for keeping ties to other tribes.

The Guardians: Tribe Guardians protect the tribe. Depending on the number, the Tribe Guardian's duties will change to watching over the tribe, making sure foxes don't wander out into forbidden areas, or accompanying large groups if they need to leave the tribe. In case of the Elder going missing, often the Guardians will watch over the tribe until the Elder returns. However it doesn't hold authoritative power. (two max)

Beta: They get no special powers or perks other than the ones associated with their species. They are the one to go to if the elder is not available or is away at the moment. Basically their role is to be second in command if the need ever arises.

Shamans: They are the teachers of the tribe. Their main job is knowing the history about the different festivals and how to conduct them. If you need a voice to listen to or get advise from, it's advised to go to the shamans. They also have the ability to use small amounts of magicks. Nothing extreme like splitting the earth or anything, but small commands over Earth, Air, Water and Fire. This is mostly used when they make protective charms to shield against various things and to help heal the sick (Three are allowed)

Gatherers: Gatherers have the very important task of finding the food, and planning the meals during festivals. They are also in charge of making sure everything goes according to plan during the festivals; under guidance of either a shaman or the elder. Gatherers are mainly responsible for gathering different types of seeds and herbs for the shamans and helping to bring back the meat if the hunters have brought down excess food for a festival. When they are not working they are often found learning different types of dance or music.

Seers: Its their job to monitor the more mystic elements of the world; they are often trained in the art of fortune telling and learn different methods such as using runes or reading paws. Their fortune telling is not absolute and only tells of one path that might happen if nothing is changed and can often be faulty. Seers need certain conditions to actually preform their fortune telling (can only use this ability with the permission and plotting of the other tribe members or players.) Two Seers are allowed

Scouts: The scouts are responsible for finding out information such as where prey is currently located and searching for any hostile force. They are trained how to fight so they can deal with any situation they encounter accordingly. Its also their job to pass messages on to other tribes if need be. The scouts are the only ones allowed to enter the moors and will accompany the hunters if prey is spotted there. They have the ability to use telepathy, in order to send news faster. The telepathy is only one way unless talking to another scout or the Elder. (Four allowed)

Hunters: It's the hunters job to protect the tribe if hostile forces slip past the scouts and to obtain food for the tribe. They are experts at traversing the dark forest that surrounds many parts of the tribe and are the only other member allowed into the moors when accompanied by a scout. Hunters often have heightened senses that allow them to move and react quicker and more accurately than the other members. (Four allowed)

Carers: Due to their calming, soothing aura, the carers often look after the kits whenever their parents can't (parents are out working or kits are orphans) and tend to helping foxes give birth. They often work with the shamans to help speed up the process of healing an injured fox. (Three allowed)
