Chai and his older sister Cinnamon were raised by a single mother - a baphomet who chose to raise them alone and was happy to do so. Their mother was loving but firm, wanting to be a parent first and friend second, although of course both roles were important to her. She did have to work extra hours to raise the money needed for a family of three, so Chai's older sister took on a lot of the responsibility of raising him. Cinnamon was a very loving and protective sister and somewhat took on the role of his mother. Their actual mother was determined to teach her children important core values; empathy, generosity and loyalty. Cinnamon encouraged Chai to take the moral lessons seriously and, as a result, the young baphomet grew into a caring and charitable individual, often putting the needs of others before his own.
Chai performed well at school, easily passing his classes but not to the point of excelling. Chai found it far more important to make friends and socialise, quickly becoming the kid to come to if you needed help with homework or anything else. Inevitably this resulted in a few individuals abusing his generosity and these negative experiences caused the baphomet to become somewhat defensive. Despite this, Chai always wore his heart on his sleeve and went through his time at school with his arms open. It was a shock to everyone - but none more than Chai and Cinnamon - when their mother passed away due to a flash flood in the part of town where she worked. There was nothing anyone could do; it was a sudden and tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The siblings were devastated, although Cinnamon did her best not to show it. She had already been performing the role of Chai's mother and did her best to shield him from her own grieving. The sudden loss of his mother made Chai feel even more possessive of his sister and any other close relationships in his life, refusing to let them go too.
While the last few years of his studies were a struggle due to his family tragedy, Chai was able to graduate and consider what he wanted to do with his life. His mother had always enjoyed the times he had baked for her at home and brought her his home-brewed coffee, so he decided to pursue the dessert world in honour of her. His sister was delighted at the decision and helped him move into the community college where he would study pâtisserie. Chai had become somewhat scared of the world outside due to the loss of his mother and threw himself into the internet, especially enjoying reading blogs about the lives of others. During his studies at community college he began a blog of his own that documented small cafes he visited and reviewed the food and drink, atmosphere and service. While he has gained a small following, Chai hopes to find a career in blogging about cafes knowing that once he's graduated from pâtisserie he'll have more respect and credibility on the topic.
familiars
latte.
latte is a particularly beautiful vespercat and is glad that chai seems to acknowledge this. the baphomet spends countless hours grooming and praising their familiar, completely enamoured by her fluffy coat and charming demeanour. this has resulted in a mutually happy relationship between the two. latte has thus grown fiercely loyal to chai and hardly lets anyone else touch her - and chai is completely fine with this possessiveness.
cappuccino.
donated to him by his pâtisserie teacher, cappuccino was found wandering the spring equinox dance. chai was more than happy to accept the kidden who seemed to have developed a sweet tooth. the familiar is all too happy to try any experimental desserts concocted by the baphomet, but when she isn't distracted by sweets she gets into all sorts of trouble, being particularly interested in jumping up on benches and disturbing chai's workspace. while the rambunctious kidden doesn't get along too well with the pampered vespercat, chai has enough love to go around, meaning the two familiars can almost avoid each other entirely.

one roleplay indicating what they've gotten out of university // can be a solo (( min. 250 words )) have attended six classes that pertain to your major
Missy was raised by two loving mothers - a demon and a baphomet - in a city near to Asphodel. She was mostly coddled as a baby, her mothers having always wanted to raise a family. When she was three years old, their mothers agreed to bring two third parties into an imbuing with her demon mother, producing a half-sister for her; Zemenu. Missy adored Zemenu immediately, always protective of her younger sister. Zemenu, however, saw Missy as competition and isolated herself from the family, more interested in her own success and hobbies. This upset Missy, but with her mothers' assurance and encouragement, she focused instead on pursuing her own talent; pâtisserie. Missy always had a sweet tooth and was often found helping her baphomet mother in the kitchen and showed a particular aptitude for the fiddly work needed in desserts.
Once Missy graduated from school, she made the difficult choice of leaving her family. She was incredibly torn over the decision, not wanting to leave her loving mothers but also wanting to pursue an industry that wasn't large enough in her city to find success. Her mothers were sad she was leaving but gave her their blessing, glad she knew what she wanted from life, and so Missy left the only home she'd ever known. Missy was overwhelmed by Asphodel at first, staying in a dormitory at the community college as she studied cooking - there was no class specialised for pâtisserie. She did incredibly well at the classes that had to do with desserts and all of her professors adored Missy and her playful personality. After working hard, she graduated with honours and was on her way to fulfilling her work goals.
Fresh out of college, Missy found out Zemenu had also moved to Asphodel to study. She did her best to contact her younger sister, but Zemenu always had an excuse not to see her. Knowing she couldn't force anything, Missy tired her hardest not to let it get to her, and instead began to design concepts for a potential pâtisserie store. She assumed she'd make money by working in bakery until she had the start-up funds to get her business off the ground, but to her surprise one of her professors from college approached her a month after she had graduated and suggested she teach at the college. After a few weeks of jumping through hoops and many bribes of sweet treats, Missy established a new major at the college; pâtisserie. She was thrilled at this opportunity and has become an excellent teacher, inspiring students to go bigger (or smaller) and better with delicate desserts.
Missy is now torn on what to do with her life; she is still interested in opening her own bakery, but she is enjoying teaching far more than she anticipated. Eventually she'll have to choose one direction - running a business is a full-time job, after all. Missy hopes to train up a prodigy to take over her position as pâtisserie teacher before she leaves and is keeping a keen eye on all her students to see who has the most potential.
familiars
spring.
missy discovered the brightly coloured jackalope trying to steal some of her marvellous cake at the spring equinox dance. after ignoring her lectures about manners, missy felt she had no choice but to take the familiar home and teach it a thing or two. named spring for both the event in which it was found and the 'spring' in its step, the jackalope didn't seem to have any complaints finding itself in a loving home. while spring can be quite skittish like most of its species, she seems to be lured in by cakes and other desserts, allowing missy to steal pats here and there. over time she began to enjoy curling up in her owner's lap for cuddles; as long as there's some sweet treats for incentive.

zemenu missy's younger sister, zemenu has always made it her mission to try and outdo her sibling. missy wanted nothing more than to form a strong, loving relationship with her sister but zemenu made it impossible, thinking that even missy's notions of camaraderie where ways of saying she was the better sibling. missy felt bad leaving her sister when she moved to asphodel and was delighted when she heard zemenu had come to study at grendel, however she has snubbed any contact missy has tried to make, always saying she is far too busy. missy hopes that one day her younger sister will overcome her pride and allow them to have a relationship.
artemisia one of missy's twins from her first imbuing. missy never favoured either of the twins, but artemisia was always far more clingy than their sibling. fortunately, the natural-born teacher didn't have a problem with the infant toddling around behind her all the time and was happy to teach her about the world. much to missy's delight, artemisia has become interested in baking and spending time with her in the kitchen. she hopes to nourish this interest in her child, subconsciously wanting her to pursue a life in cooking.
chi the other twin of missy's first imbuing. missy adores chi - as she does artemisia - but they never seemed as dependent on her. the demon pours love onto the happily-receiving chi and the two of them have formed a happy relationship. comfortable with her mothering skills, missy is more interested in trying to encourage her twins to become closer with one another. while they aren't hostile towards each other, missy hopes they will form a closer relationship as time passes.

history
Zerani was a true Spring baby in every sense of the term. She was always giggling as an infant and seemed to light up every room she was in. Despite having the characteristics of a lunar Fey, Zerani always preferred to dance in the sunlight and even had a surprising fear of the dark. She was raised only by her Fey mother and in fact never met the Bakeneko who imbued her stone. As she grew older, Zerani read about the culture of the Bakeneko and formed the (incorrect) opinion that they were primitive and knew nothing of the world. Her mother tried to discourage such thoughts and instead encourage the communal and loving nature of the Fey. However, as her mother was one of the Fey who chose to live in Below, there was the lack of communal upbringing that Fey usually experience. This semi-isolation and distaste of one of her parents caused Zerani to become snobbish as a defence, finding comfort in her 'beautiful' Fey features. She apparently conveniently ignores the fact that her Bakeneko heritage is what allows her to live without a flower, allowing her to spend all her time in the sun like she desires.
Like many children, Zerani was sent to the Asphodel Gardens Academy. She quickly made a number of friends, although none yet that she would consider particularly close. Her natural eye for fashion and constant striving for beauty made her relatively popular, even as a freshling. This popularity only boosted her ego and fed her desires for success. No one holds Zerani to a higher standard than herself, however. The tantrums she throws at failure are often accused as being the result of a "it's not fair, I deserve the best" mentality, but the truth is that Zerani accepts nothing short of success of herself. This strive for perfection has led to the development of anxiety in the young hybrid, but it's also allowed her to top many of her classes. One of her guilty pleasures to alleviate her stress are video games, however her need for success causes her to be incredibly competitive, even in friendly games. Despite still being in school, Zerani always her her eyes on the future in which she wants to be a fashion designer.
familiars
daisy.
being a spring baby herself, zerani was naturally drawn to the spring familiars. daisy seemed to be fond of carshena as the two were caught together, and so the cuddly familiars have found zerani somewhat befriending desdemona. zerani often dresses daisy up in bows and flowers, wanting her familiar to look as fabulous as she does. like most rammykins, daisy is reserved and softly mannered, but she still seems to enjoy the pampering she receives from her owner.

name.sabera nicknames.little bear gender.male race.fallen // dryad // baphomet // kirin // elf // sluagh // geist birthday.30th of april 2017 zodiac.staff orientation.homosexual occupation.student // eldritch partner.none colour.#735446 song.mumford and sons - broken crown
Sabera was raised by his father Avalon in a grotto far away from civilisation. The young hybrid loved his life in nature, holding no qualms in living in a cave despite Ten's - his other father's - desire to live together in a home. Even from a young age Sabera scoffed at the idea of technology, placing Avalon on a pedestal and admiring his connection to nature. Sabera's friends were the animals of the forest, his entertainment was staring at the nature around him, taking influence from its harmonics to play his harp - one of the few items he had from 'civilisation'. Sabera was always an intelligent and curious child, loving nothing more than to explore his environment and discovering new things about the world. He delighted in showing his father new species of mushrooms he discovered or learning about the heritage of all the different races inside him. Then the devastating day came when his father delivered the worst news the freshling could imagine; he was going to be sent to the demon capital academy to study.
Sabera's respect for Avalon was greater than his anger at the situation, but only slightly. Instead of throwing a tantrum, the hybrid curtly agreed to the proposition and felt he had little choice but to move into a dorm in Asphodel. He loathed his first few months at the academy, escaping the campus as much as possible to surround himself with nature - he found no solace in the children around him and was embarrassed by his confusion towards a lot of their technologies. After this time of self-pity, however, he began to realise the opportunity that was before him; he had always loved learning, and here was a whole new world to learn about in an environment that practically insisted you do so. Sabera threw himself into his studies and immediately began to top his classes, despite his teachers all being put-off by the serious and socially awkward child.
One of the topics Sabera has most keenly studied is that of other cultures and races, interested in learning about his heritage. As he started to delve into such studies, however, he began to feel a knot form in his stomach. He had over half a dozen races within himself and after learning about all of their differences, a fear began to grow that he was going to split apart one day. Sabera keeps this fear to himself, of course, never one to show weakness to others. While Sabera has begun to find positives in living in the city, he always looks forwards to his trips home, particularly to see his role model Avalon. Sabera currently has every intent to return to living apart from civilisation as soon as possible and doubts this desire will change as he grows older.
familiars
ignis.
sabera spotted the torti hiding in a bush and found some solidarity, he himself feeling rather lost while trick-or-treating. to his initial dismay, the familiar followed him from house to house, and sabera grew increasingly concerned. he was surprised that his teacher allowed him to keep a stray from the streets, but sabera was no stranger to animals. after he accepted the torti as a new friend, he found it comforting to have a part of 'nature' with him, reminding him of home. ignis is slow and wise, like most of his species, but seems to have a small inner fire when he wants it.
aurum.
sabera found aurum on a pamphlet on campus; it was a stray that had been abandoned by a family who bought her for the novelty of the new species but didn't realise the responsibility that comes with them. sabera was immediately moved by the pamphlet, hating to see any creature suffer - especially at the hands of 'city-dwellers'. he adopted aurum on a whim, but realised quickly he couldn't keep a bunyip on campus. he loved the creatures, but they were far too large and clumsy for the small dorms, and he had no choice but to take her back to his family. they lived in the forest and were happy to look after aurum while sabera was at school, but he always looks forward to heading home to see her. aurum always seems delighted when her friend returns and undoubtedly the two look forward to when they can live together once he has graduated.

avalon the hybrid who raised him, sabera sees avalon more as a role model than a father. the young hybrid always placed his father on a pedestal and wants nothing more than to emulate his way of living. even after spending time apart when sabera is at the academy, the freshling constantly looks forward to seeing avalon and his respect and admiration for him has not diminished. surprisingly, sabera doesn't blame avalon for sending him away and holds no resentment towards him for it. ten sabera's other father, ten is far more in tune with civilisation than his partner. sabera blames ten for negatively influencing avalon, believing he is trying to pry his idol away from nature where he belongs. this may be an unfair assessment, but only time will tell if growing and maturing will help sabera accept his more civilised father.
