 .name. - .siahndi..guardian. - .exsanguination..companion. - .renegatus..personality. - .dependant..likes. - ???.dislikes. - ???Quests Quest One The poor, dependant Cardinal hasn't been
around many of his kindred, and has been relying heavily upon Jin for
guidance. Because of that, it's time for the little cardinal to
experience life without the training wheels. Write a journal entry
about every mothers-worst-fear (and in some cases every childs!) and
have Siandhi get lost. Be it in the park, or in a grocery store, the
location is completely up to you. How does Siandhi handle the
situation? Can he make it without Jin, for any length of time, or does
he completely crumple under the pressure of lonliness?
Quest Two Siandhi hasn't seen many of his kindred, and is in
dire need to make a few friends. Because we don't want him to turn
into a complete shut in, expose Siandhi to a few of his kind. The
goal is to make at least one friend, and if it's possible, make at
least one enemy. By enemy though, it doesn't have to be an arch
nemesis. Just introduce him to someone he might not like, or get along
with easily. You can do this either by asking a private PD if you've
someone in mind, or through an open RP via the guild.

Exsanguination
(Borrowed from Wiki <3)
Slaughter of animals
Exsanguination is used primarily in the meat industry, as a method of slaughter. Before any incision is made, a device called a captive bolt is used. The device is placed against the skull of the animal, and penetrates to cause tissue destruction in the brain. This incapacitates the animal so that the procedure may take place.
While the animal is incapacitated, a knife is fully inserted through the skin just behind the point of the jaw and below the neck bones. From this position the knife is drawn forward severing the jugular vein, carotid artery, and trachea. Properly performed, blood should flow freely with death occurring within a few minutes.
Beyond the initial cost of purchasing a captive bolt, continued usage of the method is very inexpensive. The animal is incapacitated for the duration of the procedure, so it is one of the safest methods for the slaughterer.
Slaughter by exsanguination is mandated by Judaic kashrut and Islamic halal dietary laws. However, the captive bolt is forbidden in both religions. Because of the suffering this causes to the animal this practice is often criticized.
Cause of human death
Exsanguination is a relatively uncommon and dramatic cause of death in humans. It might be more precise to say that exsanguination is a mode of death rather than a cause, since the fact of exsanguination will have some underlying cause.
Trauma (injury) can cause exsanguination if bleeding is not stymied. It is the most common cause of deaths on the battlefield (though the most common cause of death from battle is infection).
Patients can also develop catastrophic internal haemorrhages, such as from a bleeding peptic ulcer, which can cause exsanguination even without any external bleeding. It is a relatively common cause of unexpected, sudden death in patients who seemed previously well.
Alcoholics can also suffer from exsanguination. Thin-walled dilated veins just below the lower esophageal mucosa called esophageal varices may ulcerate or be torn ("Mallory-Weiss tears") during the violent retching of the alcoholic leading to massive bleeding and sometimes exsanguination.
Other
Exsanguination is also the name of a song by the hardcore punk band, AFI, from the album, Black Sails in the Sunset.

About Cardinals:Quote: The Cardinals or Cardinalidae are a family of passerine birds living in North and South America. These are robust, seed-eating birds, with strong bills. They are typically associated with open woodland. The sexes usually have distinct plumages; the family is named for the red colour (like that of a Catholic cardinal's vestments) of males of the type species, the Northern Cardinal. The "buntings" in this family are sometimes generically known as "tropical buntings" (though not all live in the tropics) or "North American buntings" (though there are other buntings in North America) to distinguish them from the true buntings. Likewise the grosbeaks in this family are sometimes called "cardinal-grosbeaks" to distinguish them from other grosbeaks. The name "cardinal-grosbeak" can also apply to this family as a whole.
