This entry is for White Buck!
Buck Name: Starless Night
Personality: Distant from others, he only attempts to meet others when gatherings are going on.
Edited Kin: 4 without default edits.
Naming Dream: He stepped out from the cave, following a light. It was bright in the sky, between the trees where it shone. As he entered the clearing, he looked up to see the moon shining bright in a Starless Night.

This entry is for the white buck!
Buck Name: Stardrinker
Personality: Kind-hearted and protective, but takes himself way too seriously
Edited Kin: Five total, including one with only glow markings
Naming Dream: Points of light swam back and forth over the small ripples on the surface of the water. Nothing a fish could eat gave off gold and silver light like the stars at night did. Regardless of what the kin believed about fish, and whether or not they sought amusement, one fish returned to the surface of the water again and again each night, mouth open as it broke the surface to devour the reflections of stars.

This entry is for the White Buck!
Buck Name: As it Darkens (I'd also call him Sky)
Personality: Sky is a total goofball - some would even say that he took a few too many hits in the head and the Motherfather gave him the gift of a tough helmet-like pair of horns to protect what little sense he has left. Like the night sky, As it Darkens can become quiet and peaceful despite his hyperactive air. It's at those points in times that he gets philosophical and the intelligence he normally hides behind his boisterous happy-go-lucky exterior.
Edited Kin: Four - no unique edits (they're either default edits or passed from their parents)
Naming Dream: The night was many things - dark, mysterious, quiet and calm. Various activities happened when the day died - some of them outrageous, others peaceful. Everything from sleep to parties, all happened when the day swallowed the night. Regardless of what happened once the moon and stars were out, as it darkened, the sky began its metamorphosis and life continued.

This entry is for the gold buck!
Buck Name: Crashing Comet
Personality: Poised and regal and has a way of speaking very vaguely. He likes to wander around, to bring a friend or two to the highest peak he knows and just quietly watch the night sky.
Edited Kin: None
Naming Dream: It was a pitch black night before the explosion of gold. He left a long trail golden sparkles in his wake, reminding the sky of his presence.

This entry is for Blue-White Buck!
Buck Name: Blooms at Night
Personality: He has strange and cynical, dark, sadistic thoughts that scare even himself. He shies away from other kin because he believes that spending too much time with other kin will cause him to go mad, so instead, he is nocturnal, spending his time with the creatures that creep around at night underhoof. Some would say the scales on his face make it look as if he were crying stars and he would not disagree.
Edited Kin: >.> Five (I seriously don't know how I have been so lucky to amass so many so quickly...) Um, one or two have "standard" edits, Sigh has the hair tuft and my uncerted acha Dive has the little feather accessory edit (which I think is standard?)
Naming Dream:

The sun shined bright
and as the days
began to lengthen,
all the flowers began to bloom,
all but one.

The days were long
and the sun cast it's rays
on daytime's children,
causing them to dance with glee,
but still one stayed dormant.

So the sun shined
brighter and brighter,
causing some of her
children to wither in the heat,
but still that flower did not stir.

Alas, the sun could not
shine long forever as the summer must go
and winter and fall must come,
and so the nights grew longer,
still, the flower did not bloom.

The stars took up residence
in the sky and they watched
as one by one
all the flowers died away,
all but one.

The sun gave one last
burst of sunlight
before giving into
the night,
the single flower rested.

With the moon in the sky
and the nights lengthening,
the stars twinkling in the sky
kept watch over
the one flower surrounded by its dead siblings.

One night, the longest night
of the year,
the moon decided the flower
would never bloom and the stars cried
on the little flower.

And it bloomed for them
their golden tears glistening
on its perfect blue petals,
spreading for the first time,
for it only blooms at night.

(a bit of a reference to long day-short-day plants -- short night-long night -- that only bloom when either the night is long or short enough… and the picture links to a piece of music that I found that I felt captured a bit of Blooms at Night's essence)

This entry is for Gold Buck!
Buck Name: Fall So Fast
Personality: Terrified of burning out and crashing into the ground like he saw in his naming dream, Fall So Fast desperately moves from day to day without thinking, hopelessly rash and uncontrolled, he wrecks through kin’s lives in an effort to extend his own, flinging and flirting, dancing, partying, believing every second of the day and the night that he is going to drop dead right then and there.
Edited Kin: Five...
Naming Dream:

They fall.
I fall.
We all fall.

The stars, they fall so fast.
The crash and burn.
The swamp cries.
I die.

"I feel numb most of the time,
The more I get the higher,
I'll climb, and I will wonder why,
I get dark only,
To shine.
And I'll light up the sky,
Stars that burn the brightest,
Fall so fast and pass you by."
- Numb by Marina and the Diamonds

Lady_Ourania
This entry is for the White Buck!
Buck Name: Nightblind
Personality: Likes to think of himself as a villainous character, but the effort falls a bit flat. His so-called schemes rarely pan out, and his tendency to monologue often does more harm than good. He can be surprising gallant in the presence of a "lady," though he might try to kidnap her for reputation's sake.
Edited Kin: Two. Wan has horn edits and some eye glow going on, and Prelude is a glowy-eyed gal.
Naming Dream: There are creatures moving out in the darkness, unearthly shapes that seem on the verge of coalescing before they scatter. No amount of blinking will bring them into focus, and waiting only seems to deepen the shadows. Yet the betrayal of his eyes feels secondary to the traitorous pulse in his throat. His heart is beating so close to the surface, a hot point of vulnerability beneath the chill of his skin. It beseeches him to move, to flee. Forward or backward, it does not matter. Better to be in the thick of the unseen things than to remain blind to them.


I'm going to go post in the certing thread now!
