How many purewalkers do you own?: 3 (? I'm pretty sure it's just 3) How many are charmed & uncharmed?: 1 charmed 2 uncharmed
Do you have a purewalker breeding planned/won with Ashura?: No Do you have a purewalker breeding planned/won with Pinpōn?: No
Do you intend to charm this purewalker?: No (though could be swayed) Why?/Why not?: Depends on the plotline. Could be he comes across an Angeni later and they stick one one him and he just goes bloodcrazy for a bit after. I could probably come up with a "killer" plot (pun intended).
Name: Muḥarram / リンリン (rin rin): The sound of ringing, like a bicycle bell ring. Reasoning for Name: Means forbidden / He doesn't have any bells but if he did it would be the only sound you hear before you suddenly meet your maker. BUT since he doesn't have any it's funny because he has none.
What is his greatest strength?: His stealth What is his greatest weakness?: He can't swim and he's a glutton for food What is his primary motivation in life?: To kill How will he breed/procreate/reproduce, if at all?: He will, wave a paw and bat his eyes at a pretty lady.... j/k. It'll likely be an in the moment/more than likely calculated meticulously on his part/ sort of venture. Only good genetics will be part of his army... I mean family lineage.
Muharram Rin Rin (He likes his full title thank you- mostly to piss off either of his parents) is your typical walker. Driven more by instinct and a desire to kill anything weaker than himself. Now he won't just go out and do this all willy nilly. He's very territorial, so anything that encroaches on his territory is fair game to him. Even if it's his own family. It's survival of the fittest and it wouldn't be far fetched to say he may or may not have tried to kill any of his littermates growing up.
Plot Ideas
Back log sibling trouble? Where he tried to kill one of them maybe? This is my land. Someone comes onto his land that puts up a fair fight. Walker? Angeni? Other? IF He ends up charmed he is going to go on a murder rampage because he will end up with a flood of emotions that will just set him off. You killed the wrong pony. In his murder spree (Maybe he will end up charmed) he kills the wrong pony and they hunt him down for revenge. (This will be LONG TIME FROM NOW)

Questionnaire
How many purewalkers do you own?: 4 pures, 1 skin How many are charmed & uncharmed?: 3 charmed, 2 uncharmed
Do you have a purewalker breeding planned/won with Ashura?: No Do you have a purewalker breeding planned/won with Pinpōn?: No
Do you intend to charm this purewalker?: Eventually, yes Why?/Why not?: He will not have been charmed until adulthood. But I want to use the charming as a method to show that he can be stronger than any of his siblings or his parents. That just because he’s charmed doesn’t mean he is a weakling and that he can be diabolically evil.
Do you roleplay?: Yes though I am slow Do you have a roleplay sample from within the past year?: It appeared that the Astelans would have a feisty warrior on their hands. The young man the first team had brought in was a lively one to say the least, cursing at his captors and then thrashing about. Ciaran appreciated his zest. Alas, the man was exerting himself for no reason. It was a futile effort to try and break the magic hindering chains. They were made strong enough to resist even the most powerful of men. And while the bluenette appeared strong, he did not possess enough strength to prove himself against the chains.
Ciaran watched him flail a few seconds more before shifting his gaze elsewhere. Ah, so the little one is awake. He smiled. His yellow eyes gleamed in the dim light of the hold as he looked down at the small form. I see. So that is how Marietta’s team managed to obtain her that easily. A simple but effective lie. The mage applauded the girl’s ingenuity. “I am sorry, my dear, but I am not the owner of the boat. I am just a passenger on it. But I am afraid that you have committed a grave infraction. Your friend must have mistaken the boat for another which she had permission to board.” He shrugged. “Or maybe she simply tricked you for her own reasons. It is hard to say.” His lips curved into a coy smirk. “You really should be more careful.”
My, how he would have enjoyed toying with the child’s emotions. Her innocence would be fun to taunt and corrupt. He had to remind himself that now was not the time. He had to maintain his facade of being without magic. Lest he end up joining these poor souls on their voyages. No, he must restrain himself until he could amass what was needed. Once again, his eyes found the male. His piercing gaze was calculating. An offer? Interesting… The notion intrigued the white-haired man. The younger man would not realize that Ciaran would do nothing to alleviate his situation, yet there was no harm in hearing him out either. Perhaps I can utilize him in some way or fulfill his request for my own purpose. Of course, there was also the thought of recruiting the mage in the future should he return. Yes, best to see what he had in mind.
Pushing away from the door frame, he passed by the young girl, ignoring her for the time being and moving to stand in front of Damien. He tucked his hands in his pockets and cocked his head to the side. “You wish to chat with me?” It was not necessarily a question to verify that is what Damien wanted but, rather, an opening for the mage to explain his offer. An opening that would need to be taken quickly if Damien wanted to have Ciaran listen.
Name: Konton (meaning “chaos” in Japanese)/ニコニコ niko-niko (meaning “smiling cheerfully" ) Reasoning for Name: Konton loves to bring chaos to the lives of others, and he does it with a cheerful grin always plastered on his face.
What is his greatest strength?: Adaptability What is his greatest weakness?: Arrogance What is his primary motivation in life?: To prove his angeni charm doesn’t make him inferior but, in fact, makes him an opponent to be feared more than anyone else How will he breed/procreate/reproduce, if at all?: By whatever means he chooses at that time. If he has to show his dominance, then he will without an issue. If he can pretend to be a gentle soul, then he would do that for fun, especially if he can wreak havoc on the mare later. It’ll mainly depend on his whims really, as well as if he wants the challenge or to take it easy.
Konton is, for the most part, a reserved individual. He does not jump into action quickly, preferring to sit back and study his victims for some time. When he speaks, it tends to come off as cocky because he believes that his way is the only route to bringing true chaos to the world. Like his father, Konton strives to find the strongest individuals to fight; however, unlike his father, he does not fight to refine an art form. At least, not in the same way. He believes that only the strong deserve the right to survive in the world, and that any form of weakness should not be tolerated. This stance is derived from the fact he himself is considered a weakling by his father. But Konton does not see himself as such. No, in fact he believes himself to be stronger than any other, seeing his charmed state as a method to a means. He can have victims who are greater and more powerful because they see his angeni charm, observe his charisma and welcome him into their midst, unsuspecting of the chaos he silently harbors.
Born from his upbringing, Konton holds quite the sadistic streak. This is most notably evidenced during battles against his enemies, and sometimes even those he might consider allies should he grow bored enough or see them as a challenge. His is a slow descent into darkness as he prefers to toy with his opponents, taunting and tormenting them before delivering the final blow. He further enjoys marking his triumph by etching the fallen's expression upon parchment with their own blood. A morbid yet artistic trophy. Yet another aspect of him...Konton considers himself an aspiring artist when it comes to his killings. The impressions of his victims’ faces are merely keepsakes. Just as he lives to prove himself better than his family, so too does he live to create the ultimate masterpieces. His weapons and mind are the tools. His victims the unwitting canvas.
Plot Ideas
Survival of the Fittest- This has the potential to be a family plot. Centered on Konton’s youth, it would revolve around his training and upbringing with Ashura. How Ashura trained him and his siblings, what weapon(s) they were trained with, and what sort of trauma they inflicted on each other during this time. Wit Beyond Measure- This has the potential to be a family lot. Centered on Konton’s youth as well, it would revolve around his training and upbringing with Pinpon. What she taught them, how she ingrained wit and wisdom into them, and what sorts of consequences might have come about if their minds couldn’t keep up with hers. Sisters and Brothers Dearest- As Konton vies for the title of strongest against his siblings, he utilizes their sessions together to start refining his particular flare for torment. He may not necessarily be aiming to kill them, yet, but there’s plenty he can still do to mentally, emotionally, and spiritually maim. He just needs to practice his methods. The Artist’s Prerogative- Konton has discovered that he enjoys the pastime of painting. It gives him a different outlet when he is too lazy to torture and kill. However, it isn’t long before he has an epiphany. It is during a hunt gone slightly awry that he finds he can combine the two enjoyments he has in life. This is the story of how Konton created his own form of art. Living the Charmed Life- It’s happened. The one thing that Konton never anticipated. An angeni managed to charm him. The accursed’s last act in this world was to shatter Konton’s. Except...it doesn’t play out exactly like that. Konton knows his father’s views on charmed walkers. He also knows what other Soquili and Familiars views are on them. Perhaps this is nothing more than an opportunity in waiting. An opportunity Konton intends to take. Tales From the Kawani- Rumors begin to spread of a Soquili who seems pleasant enough but changes in an instant. Some say he is an uncharmed Purewalker, some say he is charmed while others say he is a Kalona. What everyone agrees on is that his is a cruelty not seen in the lands. His calling card- a caricature of the victim’s face painted in their own blood- fascinating as it is appalling. The Prodigal Son- Konton returns to challenge his father at a duel. His goal- to prove that him being charmed makes him stronger than his siblings, stronger than his father. Whether this is true, whether he survives, shall be tested in combat. (Note: I imagine that this would end with Konton retreating so that he can hone his skills more, finding that he isn’t quite ready to defeat his father. He will not confront Ashura again for a long time, but would definitely try again once he was older.) Proven Worth- After testing his skill with his father and finding himself inferior, Konton decides he needs to further hone and refine his skills. He starts targeting more dangerous, powerful, and stronger opponents in hopes of adapting his abilities further. His wit and strength will be developed to their fullest potential. All while adding artistic flare. Note: I do have more plots in mind but don’t want to go overboard. Mostly it’d be things like confrontations with his siblings to prove himself to them. There would be a breeding plot or two as well, depending on if he had someone that could provide a nice challenge to him. Perhaps someone of equal depravity could catch his eye.
How many purewalkers do you own?: 1 How many are charmed & uncharmed?: Charmed
Do you have a purewalker breeding planned/won with Ashura?: Nope. Do you have a purewalker breeding planned/won with Pinpōn?: Nope.
Do you intend to charm this purewalker?: Nope! Why?/Why not?: With the Purewalker I have, it was gifted. I didn't get the choice of charmed vs uncharmed. I've always wanted an uncharmed Purewalker to wreck havoc on the lands. Plus it won't sit well with his character.
Do you roleplay?: Yep! I'll be a bit slow for fourth quarter ( I work retail ), but after that it's pretty easy for me to settle in. Do you have a roleplay sample from within the past year?:A Chance Encounter - Role-play with Uta Pain Brings Life - Older than a year, but it shows my discord log RP style.
Character Information
Name: Amatsumikaboshi (天津甕星) | Guzu Guzu (ぐずぐず ) Reasoning for Name: Amatsumikaboshi is the Japanese God of Chaos, Evil, and stars. He is a malevolent Shinto God. Guzu Guzu is the sound made when a child is procrastinating on finishing something, or taking their time. xxx I picked these two names, because Amatsumikaboshi is going to take his time with his prey; he's going to prolong their death as long as possible, because he loves to see the look in their eyes as their trust is broken and their spirit lost.
What is his greatest strength?: Patience. He plays a long game, and sometimes it takes many moons before he's ready to cut deep. What is his greatest weakness?: Anger. Sometimes his clench on his temper weakens, and he acts out violently, without even thinking about it. What is his primary motivation in life?: To be as good a warrior as his Father, and win against him in a battle some day. How will he breed/procreate/reproduce, if at all?: Yes. When breeding, he is going to do similar to what Ashura did; train his children until they're on the brink of death to prove they're worthy enough to walk these lands.
Amatsumikaboshi sees his father as utter perfection. The perfect Purewalker. And he always has since he was a young foal. He trained hard, and in doing so, built up his body and mind to mimic anything he could from Ashura. Now an adult, he's a killing machine; with a twist. He likes to form "bonds" with those he targets. See, Amatsumikaboshi thinks that this world is too pure. There are too many good things around, stopping the Purewalkers from taking over as the dominant race. So he chooses his targets delicately. They have to be pure of heart, spirit, and body. He twists his words, manipulates them into being close to them; isolates them from the world around them. And only when they think that he is the only thing left that's "good" in their lives, does he drive his claws and fangs deep. He's never been good with a sword, and much prefers to kill with his own Purewalker gifts.
Equal parts cunning and strong, Amatsumikaboshi works hard to make the world darker every day. He is very prideful and closed minded. It's black or white with him, no gray in-between. He needs to form the bond with his targets in order for the kill to satisfy him. And because of this he can make no mistakes. He has to be perfect, one hundred percent of the time. Mistakes are not tolerated.
Rumors have spread that his coat was once white, but has been stained with the blood of his victims.
If all goes according to plan, he can be with any one of his marks for months, though usually ends them before the end of the first year. Sometimes, this doesn't work out. Someone will call him out on his ploy, and he has to kill sooner. Other times his anger gets ahold of him. When Amatsumikaboshi gets mad, truly mad, he goes blind to his actions. He rips apart everything near him, not stopping until exhaustion reigns down on his body. He's attacked his siblings in this rage before, and only the voice of his mother can stop him. Perhaps it's a secret adoration for her, or maybe it's that the riddles make him irate, but she can usually get him to calm down before he makes a worse mess of the word around him.
He doesn't talk much. Facial expressions are his main means of communicating with this family or those that aren't his target. He saves his words for them, and them alone. It's one of his manipulation tactics. Whisper sweet nothings into their ears, and they'll be eating from his paws. Around his family though, he does little more than grunt and growl, and use his body language to show his emotions, which are usually bored, irritated, or mischievous.
Plot Ideas
After going on a terrible killing spree when something goes wrong, Pinpōn finds him. I'd like to develop the way that she helps to calm him down from his blind rage ( can definitely discuss before hand ). It can be anything from using riddles to distract him to being "motherly". One of his targets finds out about his family, about his past, and tries to run. He gives chase and leaves some lasting scars. But instead of killing, sends them out with a message for the world. Training with Ashura. They could discuss Amatsumikaboshi method of killing. Does Ashura object, or respect the slow kill? All the plots with anyone willing to be his "target" for the time. This will likely involve killing off of NPC family members. Twisting and tormenting their lives. Of all the siblings, Amatsumikaboshi finds Āratī the most fascinating. Possibly because they both break down other Soquili. I'd love some interaction between the two. Any role-play with any of the family. He maybe could help Taṇhā when she looses her cool, since he has experience. He could mess with Yama and take down one of his marks early, to see what happens. Him and Rāga could talk about their methods of making hearts race, and test it out together on other Soquili. So many options~ Possibility of getting a "fake charm", perhaps a necklace or an attachment to his bracers, to trick those that think him evil. He can then use it as an excuse of "No, I've been charmed. I swear I am good", ect ect. Just another manipulation tactic.

Questionnaire
How many purewalkers do you own?: Three (One in progress from the Stocktember event.) How many are charmed & uncharmed?: One charmed, one uncharmed, one unknown.
Do you have a purewalker breeding planned/won with Ashura?: No Do you have a purewalker breeding planned/won with Pinpōn?: No
Do you intend to charm this purewalker?: Yes Why?/Why not?: Plot reasons, mostly! The duality of his upbringing with suddenly having a moral compass, the dilemma over what to do about his family, and the knowledge of how viscerally opposed to charming his father is being chief among them. Being (presumably) the only charmed skinwalker in the family leaves him in a confusing place, which will be fun to play around with.
Do you roleplay?: Sort of? I don't generally roleplay on Gaia's forums, but if you can catch me in the right headspace, I do enjoy roleplaying over Discord. Although lately I've been more available for background plotting than written out, prose-style roleplay. Do you have a roleplay sample from within the past year?: Yes, but nothing I can post publicly.
Character Information
Name: Shiva / ちゅっちゅっ (chu-chu) Reasoning for Name: The name chosen by his father is the name for one of the chief deities of Hinduism, The Destroyer. Typically depicted as terrifying, I imagine Ashura too vain to look beyond the surface. While yes, Shiva is god of destruction and often depicted in terrifying ways, he is also the god of restoration and has a gentler aspect that those outside of Hinduism often overlook. This duality in his name winds up being oddly appropriate when he's charmed. Meanwhile, the name given to him by his mother is the onomatopoeia for kissing sounds. Because what's cuter than constantly making kissy noises at the son that gets referred to by a name associated with a title like The Destroyer by his dumb father?
What is his greatest strength?: Shiva has a keen intellect inherited from both his parents. While he is an accomplished warrior the same as all his siblings, where he tends to excel is in strategy. He is fully capable of taking out opponents that, at first glance, could be assumed to be far stronger than him and is rather skilled at figuring out his mother's riddles. What is his greatest weakness?: Something else in some part inherited from both his parents - arrogance. Shiva vastly overestimates himself, and often makes fatal mistakes that he might not otherwise if he held more realistic views of his capabilities. He often thinks himself smarter or faster or stronger than he actually is, and bites off more than he can chew as a result. What is his primary motivation in life?: He isn't certain anymore. Before he was charmed, it would've been easy enough to answer - he wanted to prevent other walkers from being subject to Angeni charms, which meant killing as many Angeni as possible. But having been charmed himself, he just doesn't know anymore. He's found himself at a loss. How will he breed/procreate/reproduce, if at all?: Shiva's upbringing will war with his newfound morality in many ways. Breeding with uncharmed skinwalkers is something he'll find easier - either by proving his strength as a worthy sire for strong offspring or making deals to continue his bloodline. But charmed skinwalkers prove a different sort of challenge. Not all of them give a whit about his strength and the idea of breeding solely to continue bloodlines is almost foreign to them. He won't know what to do with that. How it pans out for him is something that will depend on future character development - whether he sticks to the familiar territory of uncharmed skinwalkers that he personally deems worthy or takes enough of an interest in a charmed skinwalker to figure out how it works for them. Either way, I don't see him even considering non-skinwalkers.
Despite the arrogant front he puts on, at his core Shiva is a conflicted individual as a result of his charming. While he can look back on his father's training and be grateful that he even got that much attention, what seemed perfectly normal once now makes him internally squirm with discomfort. Things were so easy before, when he was a creature of bloodlust and instinct. A perfect killing machine primed to take down any unfortunate creature that dared cross his path. (Bar, perhaps, his own family. But he's been pitted in fights against the lot of them his whole life, so it's just expected that he wouldn't be able to kill them so easily.)
But now there's this... Pesky morality thing he has to deal with.
His intelligence hasn't dulled in the least, but his bluster is just as much genuine as it is a front for his own growing insecurities. Things he wouldn't have hesitated to do once before he now finds himself freezing up in the face of, a visceral sense of wrongness pervading in his gut. It's something he can fight through, if he puts his mind to it, but the fact that things aren't so effortless now is immensely frustrating to him. Where he was once relatively placid and calculating, he now finds himself lashing out when his self resentment reaches a boiling point. For make no mistake, on some level Shiva hates what's become of him. How could he not, having internalized so much of his father's teachings?
Charmed skinwalkers are the enemy of freedom, aren't they? The morality he's been infected with is something robbing him of choice, isn't it?
Perhaps, when he answers these questions for himself, Shiva will stabilize. But where he goes from there depends heavily on the answers he receives. It wouldn't be impossible to rehabilitate him into a powerful weapon for the forces of good, wielded against the very stallion who sired him to defend the angeni charming efforts. But he could just as easily be taught to stifle that nagging feeling of wrong that the lack of his bloodlust seeded, to bury it deep down so he can once again revel in hunting down angeni as his father does.
Plot Ideas
Naturally I'll want plenty of interactions with his family. Near-death experiences while training, bloody rivalries as he tries to prove himself the best. His charming is another big plot point that I'd like to cover at some point. A result of his own arrogance. During the hunt for an angeni, he vastly overestimates himself and doesn't take into consideration that his target might have allies. As a result, he winds up charmed. His father's reaction to the charming of one of his offspring is something I'd be desperate to explore. Will Ashura react with immediate violence? Will he hunt down the son he trained? Shiva's eventual stabilization is another huge plot point. I could go either way on this one. Whether he's taken under the wing of a purewalker eager to stoke the fires of his bloodlust once more, or a wary soquili who sees the spark of good in him that could be nurtured. Romance would be interesting, or perhaps merely obsession depending on how his stabilization goes. To find one particular purewalker that catches his eye for some reason. (Could just be for a fling, could be something approaching lifemates... Just depends on previous development!) Honestly I know a lot of these plot ideas are vague, but I want to develop Shiva as I go! More plots will undoubtedly spring forth as he starts interacting with his family, as he gets charmed, and as he figures out what charming means for him.

Questionnaire
How many purewalkers do you own?: 0 How many are charmed & uncharmed?: 0
Do you have a purewalker breeding planned/won with Ashura?: No Do you have a purewalker breeding planned/won with Pinpōn?: No
Do you intend to charm this purewalker?: Not at the moment. Why?/Why not?: For starters, I quite enjoy working with characters that are darker in nature. Also, if I ever did decide to charm him in the future, it could make a fun bit of plot. So, why start him out with it?
Do you roleplay?: Yes (though I have not yet RP'd in the world of Soquili) Do you have a roleplay sample from within the past year?:This is a non-Soquili RP sample from August 2021. My character is/was
Lord of the Red Land/Seth/Saitül.
Character Information
Name: Kala || ピリピリ (Piri-Piri) Reasoning for Name: 'Kala' after Batara Kala, god of the underworld in traditional Javanese and Balinese mythology, ruling over it in a cave along with Setesuyara. Batara Kala is also named the creator of light and the earth. He is also the god of time and destruction, who devours unlucky people. He is related to Hindu concept of Kala, or time. In mythology, he causes eclipses by trying to eat the Sun or the Moon. || ピリピリ (Piri-Piri) - Spicy, hot sensation (namely in reference to food). Perhaps as a reference to his sassy ('spicy') attitude.
What is his greatest strength?: His quick wit and clever mind. What is his greatest weakness?: His arrogance What is his primary motivation in life?: Getting the better of others- and making them do whatever he wants, even if it goes against what they would usually do, otherwise. It gives him a thrill. How will he breed/procreate/reproduce, if at all?: Mostly flings and one-night stands- after all, that army won't breed itself! I mean... if he finds a Soquili with traits he thinks could prove interesting in offspring, he may take a 'tumble in the hay' with them, so to speak, even if they aren't Purewalkers, themselves- though he does prefer purewalkers. Sometimes, he'll even seek out non-purewalkers expressly for this purpose, just to attempt to elicit reactions from his father or other family members. But if he were to (eventually) seek a lifemate, they would almost certainly be a purewalker like himself, since they're the only ones truly worthy of him and his lineage.
Vindictive Sly Sassy Witty - almost always has a quip to toss out Arrogant - believes himself the smartest in almost any given room Manipulative Strategic Favored his mother's teachings more than his father's. He loves to exercise his brilliant mind, and enjoys figuring out her riddles, and piecing together strategies. While he favors his mother's teachings and mental training, he gets a thrill out of the physical fighting when he gets the chance to indulge. He didn't enjoy his father's methods, but he can recognize their effectiveness and appreciates that aspect of it, and the chance Ashura provided him in doing that much for Kala and his siblings. Took some inspiration and ideas from his siblings, while trying to figure out what he, himself, likes. While he's not above doing the dirty work, himself, he enjoys twisting the minds of Soquili, before breaking them to his will, getting them to do the deed, themselves. Once they've served their purpose, if he doesn't see a way for them to remain useful to him, he'll maim them in a manner that leaves them permanently crippled in some way, depending on what type of Soquili they are. For example, if they have wings (doesn't matter what kind), those wings will be broken such that they will never heal properly and will be unable to sustain flight ever again, only able to look to the skies and their damaged wings with mournful longing. If he's in a bad mood, or had a too-close encounter with an angeni, he will be more vicious than usual and those wings might be ripped entirely from the Soquili, or their fins or leg(s) will be more brutally mauled and mangled. Once he's grown bored of their existing in this maimed and mangled state, he will (with very few exceptions) hunt them down again and kill them, so they remain 'his', even in death. Sometimes, he likes to hassle his sisters, by 'stealing' Soquili from amongst Āratī's thralls, or trying to experience for himself whatever Rāga liked about someone, before she took it from them. Life is mostly a game to him, and he doesn't like to lose. "The harder you fall, the higher you bounce~."
Plot Ideas
MAYBE charming - but if it does happen, it wouldn't be for a long while. flirting & fighting - the flirting is mostly to try to throw his opponent off and give him an opening to land an attack. trying to coax a charmed skinwalker back to the path of blood and violence. interactions with family members would be lovely- whether backstory or current encounters fighting/training with Ashura would be especially fun, I think. Part of the reason he likes to purposefully provoke his father is in the hopes of learning some new trick or tactic from his sire in the resulting backlash from his choices. It's a bit of a balancing act, though, so he can piss his sire off enough to provoke his father, and get a good fight (or be soundly thrashed) but not enough so as to become considered 'useless' or 'hopeless' by Ashura. Attempting to pass himself off as charmed or 'not like the rest', to some Soquili, until he's got them twisted around his paws, and it's too late for them to do anything, once they realize the truth

Character Information
Name: Raktabīja | Waku waku わくわく
Reasoning for Name:
In Hinduism, Raktabīja was an asura (loosely translated as demon) who fought with Shumbha and Nishumbha against Goddess Parvati, Goddess Kali or Goddess Chamunda. Raktabīja had a boon that whenever a drop of his blood fell on the ground, a duplicate Raktabīja would be born at that spot (rakta = blood, bīja = seed; "he for whom each drop of blood is a seed"). According to some sources, Raktabīja was, in his previous birth, Rambha (asura), king of demons and the father of Mahishasura. (Daddy issues ftw!) And waku waku is the excited sound used to describe water (or in his case) gushing, An arterial spray makes him very happy.
What is his greatest strength?: Family (please see reason in personality description) What is his greatest weakness?: Family (please see reason in personality description) What is his primary motivation in life?: He quite literally wants to eat your heart out. How will he breed/procreate/reproduce, if at all?:
Let's be fair. He will breed often with unviable candidates, because, well you know....XD
But as far as actually producing children, he carefully selects walkers of legend or nightmares, who are glorified in legends or horror stories He believes that where his seed spreads will become a miniature version of himself and he will be highly dissatisfied with any children who don't fall in line with this thinking (Giving daddy issues!)
Personality Description Raktabīja is an enigma of sorts. Both his greatest strength and his greatest weakness center around the same concept--Family.
In his mind, his family line is superior to all others. They are the greatest of the great, Gods and Goddesses among stupid fools. No one can match them. Because of this, he views his family above “mere mortals.” His family was named for deities and so by blood and earth and ravaging, they became those deities. They became worthy of those names.
Therefore, there are none worthy to approach his family or able to better a God. It speaks to his own conceited nature that he believes the only one capable of incapacitating or killing his family is his family.
They were born of trials and survived by the merits of their own resourcefulness, by the better bloodline they bear. In some ways this is also a weakness.
Since he believe that his family is unable to be touched by others, anything that proves this wrong would topple his world view. He does not love them nor does he need them, but he believes that his lineage is self-made Gods and he will fight to keep that world view intact. No one has the right to kill his family of deities, other than himself.
Family meetings always devolve into a series of one-up-manship. A game of cat and cat. None of them can be around the other long without trying to maim, riddle, or kill the others (or all three). They are constantly trying to re-establish who is the best of them.
In an odd twist, Raktabīja has a wariness of his father especially. Believing there will come a day--only one chance--where he can usurp his father. Not because he wants to be the patriarch, but because of his nature--because of the need to have superiority.
Raktabīja clothing and armor are always impeccable. He has impeccable manners and attire, almost always.
Though he can use a blade as well as any in his family, he feels that there’s something about putting your paws and heart into your work or rather his paws into your heart. Raktabīja’s favored method of killing is by disemboweling his enemy and ripping their heart out before it stops beating. He enjoys the horror-stricken look of his victims upon seeing their own beating heart help in his paw. (This is doable, it was a punishment in England if you need to look! Or rather….don’t look )
He is always immaculately dressed, keeping his fur and clothes free of bloodstains. He likes to look good when he makes a kill. His preferred method of killing can become quite messy if not executed very quickly and efficiently. He fights an internal battle over the need to be neat and the need to kill. Some days it’s a toss-up as to which side of him will win.
He has no specified set of victims. It's just your "lucky" day.
Plot Ideas
Guess who's coming going to be dinner?- Any meeting of family will end in all kinds of bloody shenanigan's to prove who is the better sibling....in murder terms Out Damned Spot- A particularly annoying speck of blood throws our villain slightly off his game plan when he discovers a stain. Childish Games--I'd love to RP some of the trials and survivalism of their times as foals. Eat your heart out-- After establishing his preferred kill method, Raktabīja decides to add a little more flair and superiority to his method. Either by taking a bite out of a juicy, still beating heart or using a heart as an acceptable replacement for a mic drop, just to watch it splatter.

Character Information
Name: Bhairava ぴりぴり (piri-piri) Reasoning for Name: a Buddhist god of death (specific to Shaiva Hinduism) & the sensation of spice/burning mouth
What is his greatest strength?: Being Spicy -- he is full of sass, sarcasm, he tends to leave a bad taste in your mouth What is his greatest weakness?: Anything to do with What is his primary motivation in life?: How will he breed/procreate/reproduce, if at all?: Maybe but it'd have to really be highly advantageous to him, OR something he's tricked or coerced into.

Personality Description
He... loves to maim, scar, and permanently injure unsuspecting Soquili. He doesn't really care about killing them or not - it's more fun to leave them alive to recover and then go find them again later to do it all over again. Definitely a violent stalker type Thinks his father's training was a great idea and frequently eggs his father into fighting with him just so that he can try and learn something new or practice his hard-won skills. Usually does this by splashing him with mud or something dirty "accidentally", knowing full well how much it bothers the white walker stallion. Mostly thinks his mother's riddles are Annoying, but begrudgingly admits there is value in them. Tries his very hardest to find an unexpected answer that is technically correct even if not the most-correct answer. Definitely picks her brain for ways to get inside of others' heads. Has NO interest in trying to be renowned or the best at anything but is likely to make a name for himself anyway Honestly quite promiscuous and lewd, but not with the intention of offspring - simply to have fun and for another avenue to torture his victims. VERY good at pretending to be sane and not murdery, is likely to try and convince non-walkers that he is Not Like Those Other Walkers
Plot Ideas
t self-RP with my evil hippogryph Faye who thinks she's a Very Total Badass and needs to be taken down several notches :') I have a YEARS old RP in which my very first Soq, Sable, was supposed to be injured escaping from a purewalker but that never actually got finished so really he'd get to have fun messing with her and being the one to finally inflict the permanent injury Get captured by another purewalker who caught him unawares when he was being Too Arrogant, & be subject to their whims until he escapes - or joins forces with them?! Family RP of COURSEEEEEEE Successfully convince a non-walker Soq that he is normal, maintaining the ruse until he gets too bored, reveals his true self, and maims them badly

Character Information
Name: Ebisu / あっぷあっぷ (appuappu) Reasoning for Name: Ebisu: One of the Seven Gods of Fortune, a god of luck. Ebisu named for a god of fortune, and he draws his victims in with promises of good luck, his beads being prayer charms or lucky talismans. Appuappu is "Glub glub" or "blub blub" the sounds of water.
What is his greatest strength?: His devotion and drive. He has chosen his path and he will never divert. What is his greatest weakness?: A rigidness to his path. If he has failed, he won't stop and change course, he will simply keep pressing his angle. What is his primary motivation in life?: To spread his "preaching" far and wide, and to see every one of his beads filled with the blood of his faithful little lambs. How will he breed/procreate/reproduce, if at all?: No, not ICly. If there is ever any breeding it will be OOC. he sees no real point in spreading his genes- the rest of the family, and he uses the term loosely, seems to have that well in hand. A breeding would be purely just to spread chances for more to join line for some newbies.
Devoted - Ebisu has chosen his life. Death is the promise of the end, and far too many are afraid to meet theirs. He has decided his calling is to guide them into their death happily, willingly. That he can do so with offerings of prayer, talismans or trinkets to lull them into the right state of mind. He will give blessings, impassioned 'sermons', words of guidance and patience, and will wait for them to return to him for more. Patient - Ebisu must be patient, he has worked hard to ensure that he is able to wait years for an acolyte to return to him. Not all have seen the light as he has, and so he must allow them to take the time they need to see the Truth of life as he knows it. The best acolytes are foals, who he can meld and mold into being faithful servants of their own little religion- and it takes time to groom such avid worshippers. More so, if he can only get to them in small moments, away from the watchful eyes of their parents. Though he does try to win them over to his views as well. Detached - As devout as he is to his beliefs, the training of his acolytes, and the utter devotion of leading others to their ultimate Acceptance, he feels no personal attachment to anything besides his beliefs. Oh, he can act as if he is proud of his disciples, that he is pleased with them, that he cares, but the truth is he feels nothing more than accomplishment. He is only ever pleased when someone has accepted their fate, and he is able to witness that acceptance- even better if he is the one to see that life end, the light fade from their eyes from his own claws. The flesh never tastes so sweet as when he has led a little lamb into their slaughter, and have them happy to give themselves over to his cause. Collector - As he collects followers, he also has to keep a sample of each little lamb he has slaughtered. He does this by filling one of his 'prayer beads' with a bit of their blood. He cannot go without taking the sample to remember them by...more their flavor and the satisfaction of being able to count the filled beads around his neck as they slowly increase. He looks forward to the day that a full strand has been entirely filled, and he will just keep adding new strands to keep his collection growing.
He presents himself as a genial, wise sort. If he wishes to bring others into his little religion, then he does as he needs to sell himself as the wise, helpful, wandering priest.
Plot Ideas
The First disciple: Ebisu makes his first venture out, and finds his first convert. They could be a full-grown soq, or a foal. If adult- one who he sees is easy to twist into his beliefs (A naïve soq, or one who had been sheltered). If a foal he would not attempt to lure them away from family until they are older.. but regularly arrange 'meetings', offering helpful little bits of advice, and spinning great tales of how each of his beads had been blessed by spirits and gods of luck. He'd let the foal have one, if they like. And then try and arrange things so that he is the cause of some moment of good fortune, to prove that they do, in fact, work. It would be a bonus if he could also begin to twist the parents into his beliefs as well. Even if it's just a fraction- or enough that they believe he IS all good-intentioned and honorable. Spreading the Religion: After his first faithful follower, he will begin to work at spreading his Word through each land he travels across. He may approach potential acolytes in his feral form, studying them, watching for a good mark to show. The Test: A repeating plot point. The first time a single follower gets to witness him ending the life of another. He will not share in the joy of the kill, but he will judge their reaction carefully. This 'ritual' is saved for those of his devoted disciples he has deemed as 'worthy' to truly witness the beauty of death. If they balk it means that he must take extra care in their grooming. But, if they show any desire to follow the lamb's fate, he will be pleased and begin plotting their own demise soon after. (Obviously not any IC death unless the other party is actually okay with offing their soq. otherwise all will be NPC deaths)
Special mentions to Nayci, Wasteland Wyvern, Nyx Queen of Darkness, and techabyte! We fully intend to breed this pair again, and will keep you in mind. ♥
