Whiles you're here, and thus, within my territory, I'd be grateful if you'd follow a couple simple happy rules; mainly, don't act like an idiot, please stay IC within all moments unless you're dropping some sort of gift for Oth off, in which case, please use brakets so I know it's OOC. SEcond, please don't post IC within this journal at all UNLESS you are a fourth wall owner, Karma, or mainly, one of my lovely rp buddies. THere is no need for me to list my rp buddies, since they know perfectly well whom they are. If you are not sure, simply PM me, don't post in here, please? Thank you.

Full Name: Dark Fire Angel
Name meaning(s): N/A
Nickname(s): Daffu
Gender: Female
Species: Lesser demon (Fallen angel)
Age: Young adult
Build: Femenine, small
Birthday: Unknown, she claims she doesn't age and thus it doesn't matter
Bloodtype: Uh, it's red, that aside...
Hair: Slightly beyong shoulder length, a bright blue in color, usually ever messy, with bangs that fall over her face.
Eye Color: Silver
Distinctive features: Seen in her fox form or human form. Her fox form is small, barely a challenge in a figth black pelt, with a white mask and white underbelly, blue bangs falling over her face. In human form, Daffu seems to rid the fox features, 'exchanging' them for slightly more demonic ones; she sports small horns and a black devil-like tail. She seems to sport two miniature black wings on her back, in both forms; when she's in fox form, they seem to be just large enough to allow her to fly, however, in human form, they're quite useless. Despite those few traits she seems to be perfectly normal (personality issues aside).
Though not a fighter, and usually seems to shy away from fights, and verbal quarrels, she can defend herself better in fox form; her sharp fangs and small claws can at least surprise people long enough to allow her to escape. Though obviously not strong, and with little defense, her fox form seems to be quite fast.
Status: Single
Sexuality: Straight
Like(s): Mac and cheese, cheeeeeese, music, writing, literature, movies, art in general, sleeping, the supernatural, animals in general
Dislike(s): Brocoli (UGH), spiders, the cold, ice
Fear(s): SPIDERS Theme Song(s): N/A yet
Personality: The fact she's a lesser demon usually inflicts with Daffu's personality, making her seem what others might call.... slightly insane, however, this does not seem to affect her. Naturally cheerful and optimistic, for some odd reason, and usually seen with a smile upon her face; little seems to be able to bring her out of her cloud, aside perhaps, people verbally assaulting those she loves.
Amusingly enough, her demonic nature has left a couple of... odd traits about her; Daffu seems to hold some sort of vampiric trait, where she does enjoy drinking blood, and yet does not crave it, getting 'drunk' on it, if she ever does taste it. She also seems to be more comfortable in the dark than in the light, much prefering the night thus, and not day, however, it doesn't seem to affect her life style too much.
Ocupation: She's never really specified what she works as... many think she's a writter or a journalist, others think she simply doesn't work. On her part, all she's ever mentioned is helping out within the Feli Playgrounds and Numa Land
Familly: She's never mentioned having any familly, amusingly enough.
Origins: It is known she doesn't originate from Gaia. Where from isn't known however, but then again, it doesn't truly matter, or at least, not to Daffu - she seems to live the present, and doesn't truly care about the past all that much, focussing within the future and present times. This can be both bad... and good at the same time, which is up to you to decide.

Name: Othieno
Meaning: Born in the night
Nicknames: Oth, Oz
Born on: December 14, 2005
Age: Toddler
Species: Spotted hyena
Gender: Male
Height: He's growing with ease but he's just a toddler, oi
Weight: Well, let's just say I can hold him with ease
Eye Color: Aquamarine
Fur Color: Mostly grey, seems to have darker hued spots. Black hair, bangs, seem to cascade over his eyes. He came to me with a bandanna; so thus I use it to keep most of the wild hair out of his eyes.
Hair: Black
Distinguishing Features: He's... a hyena. Really, doubt you'd miss him. Apart from that, he wears a camo-colored bandanna on his head, not to mention a necklace, mostly formed of bone and fangs that hangs around his neck. I've been unable to strip him from either items thus far, he's unwilling to part from them, heaven knows why... he'll bite if anyone attempts to take them away. Believe me. I know.
Likes: His bandanna, his necklace, chewing on things, getting things, giggling, laughing (I swear I think he's making fun of me O_o;; ), the sunset, night in general (He seems much more awake and perky at night. Must be changed, I need my beauty sleep T__T), being cuddled, warmth, plushies. Dislikes: Midday (Laziness seems to take over him and he's quite grumpy at that time of day), being surprised (I have the marks to show e.e).
Fears: Nothing that I know of... however, he does make shrill growl-squeaky noises whenever I play the lion king, or a lion shows up on TV. So I'd say lions.
Image Songs: N/A yet
Personality: For the most part, he's not a bad child at all. Stubborn... even at such an early age. If he doesn't want to do something, it's nearly impossible to get him to do it; I'd like to see the army try to make him budge when he's watching a certain program on TV, or when he's otherwise doing something else. Has a strange tendency to bite, munch and chew on anything he can get his small paws on; I've had to place EVERYTHING out of Oth's reach, after several shoes, and stuff being chewed to their doom. Quite perky it seems, for he enjoys laughing, seems to enjoy company too, quite social, specially happy when he sees certain pets of mine around him. When he's not trying to taste/chew everyone to doomness... he's a really cute child.
Abilities: Uhm, does chewing count as an ability? I've seen him bite toy's heads off O_o;;
Name: Meili Lan
Meaning: Beautiful orchid
Nicknames: Mei, Li
Born on: October 8th, 2006
Age: Baby
Species: Alicorn (Winged unicorn)
Gender: Female
Height: Well, she's a uhm... baby? Small?
Weight: I can hold her!
Eye Color: Blue. Stunning sparkly soulsucking blue O_o
Fur Color: Pink. Oh-so-very pink. And sparkly; mostly different shades of pink though.
Hair: Pink. Again. Though it's a mixture of white/pink
Distinguishing Features: She's a... pink horse with wings and a horn. Very hard to miss, specially since her fur color stands out like woa against anything. Her horn and wings have proven to be kind of annoying, specially when handling her, since she tends to toss her head in happiness; I'm afraid she'll one day poke my eyes out accidentally.
Likes: Shinny things, colorful thing, soft things? She likes nature, animals in general, seems to get along with all the pets I have, and seems to enjoy day time over night time (thank god).
Dislikes: Darkness, being left alone, not being the center of attention.
Fears: Nothing that I know of... for the time being anyhow
Image Songs: N/A yet
Personality: Silent, and seems to be quite sweet hearted; Mei, unlike Oth, is not a power house. She seems to enjoy sitting in the backyard, in the shadows of the trees and in nature in a whole. Most happy when allowed outside to explore; she has a tendency to stick her nose where she... should probably not. Never heard of the 'curiosity killed the cat' theory. Usually bright and cheerful, can be seen drawing, or doodling on scrap pieces of papers; has an odd sense of color combination, albeit how nice it actually looks when she finishes (one must take into account she's a baby - she can hardly draw a line, but she does mix colors, and enjoys finger paint).
Abilities: She can.... look cute? ...

There are quite a few that share household with Oth and DFA. Not all of them are listed here, for, well, it is hard to list all of them... however, here you WILL see those that seem to interact more with Oth or spark his attention.
Felis:
Yes, DFA has quite a few Feli under her care. If you ask her, she'll just say something aken "I have NO idea! They just seem to pop out from under the rocks or something!" but it is well known that she loves the Feli playgrounds, and can often be seen around the place. Many a kit ended up coming with her.
There isn't enough space withing one post to place them all inside, so thus, please feel free to follow the following link to the place all their profiles reside in. All the felis within DFA's care seem to wonder in and out of the house, visiting the Feli house at any given time, so even if they're listed... perhaps they are away, visiting the feli house.
Kitsusagi:
Similarly to the feli, Kitsusagi under DFA's care have their own little page, where all their profiles reside. Feel free to follow the following link to see them. They too seem to wonder out of the large house in order to visit the kitsusagi HQs, and thus may or may not be seen during a visit.
Kappa:
This little guy's a darn mistery to all. Even to Daffu; he was a... erm... 'gift' of sorts from a friend, found and given to Daffu (although tell truth, the others believe this friend was simply getting rid of the guy). Though fluent in english, this little creature seems to prefer spending his day on Daffu's laptop; a genius when it comes to machines, Kuru can fix anything up (or break it and make it fall to pieces, for that matter). He's the one in charge of fixing things (though at the same time, he's also usually the one in charge of breaking them), despite his disagreeable nature and the fact he seems to enjoy strange hobbies, he fits right in.
Kyunrus:
The voice of reason; Fafnir's taken it upon himself to watch over everything within the house, specially anything to do with taking care of either babies. Seen near Daffu more often than not, or in the library, he has no time for silly games, and always seems to be far too serious for his own good.
Somewhat nocturnal in his habits, and of a spunky nature, Gabriel, unlike Fafnir, has taken it upon himself to guard the house at night. Both kyuns make quite the team, for where as one is the voice of reason, the other is the guard dog. Harsh in his words, usually acting before he thinks, this metal kyun is quite the force to take into account, however, he too has his soft side, and can be seen on a daily basis on Daffu's lap.
This young lady, amusingly enough, takes the role of babysitter and playmate for both Oth and Mei; sweet natured and soft spoken, Hong has taken a great interest in both fourth wallers and seems to adore them. Though meek in nature, she does seem to have a stronger side, which shows if either kid is ever trouble. Watch out, that horn of hers is sharp and those hooves hurt.
Avaji:
Pretty looking, huh? Well, if I were you, I wouldn't touch this little imp; usually seen clinging to Daffu's neck, this avaji tends to be over protective of his 'owner' and it'd not be rare for him to snap his sharp little teeth over a finger that happens to get too close. Unable to talk, merely hissing, chirping and snarling in some sort of language, though amusingly enough, Daffu both, seems to understand him, and like him.

Not only do fourth wall relationships go here, but familly relationships as well... strangely enough, DFA, apart from being devoted to Oth, is also devoted to her older Fa'e, by name Yin...
YIN
Full Name: Yin
Name meaning(s): N/A
Nickname(s): Yinny
Gender: Female
Species: Fa'e (Fox anthro)
Age: Currently in Teen stage
Build: Femenine but doesn't look fragile, has a tomboyish air to her, is quite well er... doted.
Birthday: 7th of Feb
Hair: Short, shoulder length. Half her hair is white, the other being black
Eye Color: One silver, one purple represent her brother's soul, whom dwells within her.
Status: Single
Sexuality: I'm unsure, and tell truth, I rather not know.
Like(s): People, doing things with her hands (aka, crafts), animals, being out in nature, being social, being happy, her friends, sports, her baseball bat, her brother and familly
Dislike(s): Saddness, people that are always sad, people whom think she is weak for being a girl, stereotypes,hard phisical labour Fear(s): Being alone
Theme Song(s): N/A
Personality: Yin has rather a trouble free personality, normally quite chirpy and happy allthough not so much as to grind other peoples' nerves. Tends to act more like a boy than a girl, she will even bow within special ocassions, and may even refer to herself as as 'male' at times. She tends to put any trouble she may have behind her, laid back almost to a fault, trying to dwell in it as less time as possible. She lives the present dreaming about a future to come.
It it hard to depress her or put her down, for she is so stubburn, she'll make herself happy just to spite someone; This girl has a tendency to have severe mood swings at times, perfectly happy at one moment, then outraged within a few seconds' span.
Outright forward, even blunt, she tends to hide nothing, and will say what she feels or thinks, making her seem rather coldhearted at times, but she really can't help it... it's the way she is. Loyal to a fault, she can't help but believe and place full trust in her friends, thus can be easily betrayed. Her brother's soul lives within her, and can manifest himself in the form of a ghost, however, he must always be around her... for they're somewhat 'linked'.
So what about Oth? Amused by his sudden introduction to their household, Yin can see the small hyena as a younger brother, one she can phisically touch and take care of. She says Oth reminds her of Yan somewhat... and somehow, that idea scares DFA quite a lot. Whatever the cause, Yin rather enjoys taking care of the fourth waller, and has no trouble doing so whenever DFA can't... this doesn't mean Yan enjoys it though, amusingly enough. It is undetermined if the small hyena knows Yan is there, of if he can see him at all.

The spotted hyena is a large, heavy predator with a elongated, thick muzzle, large round ears and a sloping back. A hyena stands on two strong forelegs and two smaller hind legs, which gives them their sloping appearance. Hyenas' paws are padded, and have four digits and claws. Hyenas have medium-toned fur, with darker, almost black spots; the hyena�s face and neck are a lighter shade, and the muzzle is black. Running down the top of a hyena's neck is a mane, which erects when the hyena is excited. The hyena�s tail is black and can be swished to the side or held at an angle, usually to express a hyena's mood. Located near the hyena's tail is a scent gland, which produces a paste that the hyena uses to mark territory. Hyenas have sharp teeth, pointed teeth and immensely powerful jaws, which allow them to tear through meat and crush bones into fragments. The hyena is a swift runner with exceptional stamina, capable of running across long stretches of plains without tiring. Hyenas are born in litters of two, with very dark fur and small teeth. A female hyena feeds her cubs milk until they are old enough to digest meat, although frequently hyena cubs will continue drinking milk even
Hyenas are cunning, intelligent and alert animals; they are quick to understand and react to a situation, swiftly evaluating their position and taking action accordingly. Individual hyenas have different character traits, although like any animal species, they share some common characteristics. Hyenas tend to be quite opportunistic, always ready to take advantage of an unexpected chance, like an easy meal. If there is an easier way to an objective, a hyena will take it. While they are capable of planning, hyenas often act on impulse and opportunity. Hyenas are courageous and when necessary, they are fiercely aggresive; however, they also realize when they are outmatched and will back off from a confrontation if there is no hope of victory. When together, hyenas are very friendly, nuzzling and licking each other in an affectionate manner and often playing together. Hyenas within a clan will band together in packs, cooperating to take down larger prey and fighting alongside each other against their rivals and enemies. They will defend each other against threats, even if it doing so would put themselves at risk. Female hyenas are fiercer and braver than male hyenas, and tend to be more suitable in leadership roles.
Most hyenas live in savanna regions, especially where there an abundance of prey; however, hyenas may inhabit semiarid and forested areas as well. Hyena clans establish central dens where young cubs are sheltered, although fully-grown hyenas have other resting spots, such as smaller dens, small pools of water, and many hyenas simply rest out on the plains. Water is enjoyed by hyenas, who not only drink it but also play and splash around in it. Hyenas also like resting in mudholes; the mud is relaxing and helps cool off the hyena, providing some protection from the heat of the daytime sun. The spotted hyena is a essential part of the savanna ecosystem. As extremely competent and efficient predators, they are important in preserving the natural balance. Specifically, they help maintain the numbers of herd animals, thus preventing overgrazing; if the numbers of herbivores were to explode without the hyenas to keep them in check, they would exhaust the vegetation and effectively create a barren wasteland. Hyenas are especially important because they are unusually effective at catching prey, and they prey on larger herd animals that other predators find difficult to catch and overpower.
Spotted hyenas live in large clans, each inhabiting a territory of varying size. A hyena clan is rarely gathered together at any given time; instead, it is divided into smaller packs and single hyenas, temporary groupings that frequently form, disperse and reform. Clans are led by a single female hyena, the matriarch. Hyena clans also have secondary leaders who lead smaller pack divisions. Hyena packs consist of a single leader and several other hyenas who follow her lead. Packs are formed both deliberately and coincidentally; hyenas will gather together to form packs, although they may often find themselves together by chance. These packs are temporary; they will eventually disperse, and the hyenas may join other packs, or, in the case of pack leaders, form a new pack. The hyena clan has a hierarchy, with the matriarch and pack leaders holding the highest rank. Female hyenas are larger, stronger and fiercer than males, and thus hold higher rank and are more frequently pack leaders.
Hyenas of a clan live, rest, run down prey and patrol their territory together. Hyenas at rest will often gather at a nice sleeping place, or splash around together in a water hole. Pack leaders assemble patrol forces to secure the clan's territorial borders, marking the boundries and chasing off any intruders. Hyena packs use coordinated attacks to take down the stronger of prey animals. In battle, hyenas fight fiercely in large packs, supporting and defending each other. Even without a specific purpose, hyenas will often group into packs simply for companionship. However, hyenas are not completely dependent on their clan for support; they can run down a gazelle or wildebeest unassisted, and even a single hyena can fight off a leopard. Some hyenas will wander off alone, rejoining the clan at a later time; others are lone hyenas, independent of any clan.
Hyenas have a complex and very effective method of communication, using sight, scent, sound and touch. To show their trust and affection, hyenas greet their clan-mates by sniffing and nuzzling each other under each other's hind legs. They use both visual and audio communication to keep in contact, express their mood and emotions, and coordinate pack operations. The hyena's tail, ears, head and neck posture are all used as signals to nearby hyenas. Their voices are capable of complex variation and pitch, and can travel across long distances to contact faraway clan members. Because of their strong sense of smell, hyenas use their scent glands to mark their territories, leaving their paste on nearby vegetation.
A hyena clan's cubs live in a protected den, until they are old enough to follow along with packs. These specialized dens are made only for cubs; adult and adolescent hyenas cannot fit inside. However, many adult hyenas, mostly females, rest close to the den and defend it against any threats to the cubs. The female hyena protects and feeds milk to her cubs; she may also relocate them if needed. Eventually, cubs are old enough to eat meat; upon reaching this age, these cubs begin following packs and eating meat from any prey that the pack catches. When hyenas become adults, they either stay with their native clan or leave the territory to seek their own destiny; usually, it is the male hyenas that leave the clan. Wandering hyenas often join one of the other clans in the area.
Hyenas are capable and efficient predators, preying primarily on large and medium-size antelopes such as gazelles and wildebeest, as well as other ungulates like buffalos. However, hyenas are willing to utilize other food sources, like birds and eggs. A single hyena is capable of running down a fully-grown wildebeest, and a pack can take on even the strongest and toughest prey; however, hyenas specifically target the weaker and smaller of the herds whenever possible. Hyenas use a combination of their speed, stamina, senses, powerful jaws and sharp teeth to locate, outrun and overpower their prey. Cunning and versatile, hyenas adapt their tactics to the specific type of prey.
Generally, a hungry hyena will begin by locating potential food, usually in the form of a herd of wildebeest, gazelles, buffalos, zebras, or other herbivores. Hyenas, with their sharp senses, can spot weakness in their prey, picking out the most vulnerable of a herd and attacking. The hyena must keep up with the fleeing herbivore, and in the case of some prey, avoid its sharp horns. Eventually, the prey will either escape or the hyena will overtake it. When they catch up with their prey, hyenas bite at the prey's hind legs to immobilize it, then strike at the underside, causing fatal wounds. Hyenas use their speed and agility to evade the attacks of defending herd members, in order to take down their intended prey. Hyenas sometimes take prey in packs, each hyena getting part of the meat. Hyena packs pursue and attack their prey together, overwheming it with powerful biting from all sides. If confronted by a protective herd, multiple hyenas can easily circumvent its defences. More formidable prey, like zebras and buffalo, become compartively easier to run down and overpower when a pack of hyenas execute a perfectly coordinated attack.
In the savanna, where most hyenas live, there are many other predators. While different predator species have preferences for different types of prey, their prey choices sometimes overlap. This can lead to fierce competition between the carnivores, who steal prey from their rivals or chase them off carcasses. Hyenas are powerful animals, and are more than capable of fending off most other predators. Big cats such as leopards and cheetahs cannot match a hyena�s fighting ability, and even a single hyena can fight off a small pack of wild dogs. While these big cats as well as wild dogs will sometimes come into conflict with hyenas, most often the hyenas will be victorious. Hyenas also compete with jackals, although jackals are too small to be any real threat to a hyena, and when they take meat from a hyena, it is usually a small amount. Vultures also get in the way of hyenas, although hyenas rarely bother fighting with them.
The only real competition to the hyena is the lion. The only big cat that can successfully challenge a hyena, lions are more of an true enemy than a mere rival. Hyenas and lions frequently fight over carcasses, although they will attack each other unprovoked if the opportunity arises. Lions steal from hyenas more frequently than hyenas steal from lions. Hyena packs and lion prides will fight vicious battles, both over possession of a carcass and for other reasons. Although smaller, hyenas can inflict severe, sometimes lethal wounds on lions, and can walk away from a lion attack.
