Hello everyone. :3

Sazanami and King have had three beautiful eggs, but the last one still needs a place to call home. Naked Satan and I decided to give this egg away in the form of a Roleplay Contest, and together we will decide who the lucky winner will be. Note: This boy needs to be roleplayed, but even if it's just in the thread, that's okay.

If you'd like to enter, please post in the thread the following things:

-The name of the baby boy
Japanese names aren't required, but HP likes them a lot better than names like Brandon or Kyle for a kuniku
-Give us a tid bit of what his personality will be like
-Once this baby hatches, he will decide to either stay at home or go explore. Give us a good reason why he would want to either stay in Honshu with his father King, or travel to Kyushu with his mother Sazanami.

Here are the links to King and Saza's journal's. You can use them for examples of where the baby's personality is coming from.
Saza's Journal is here
King's Journal is here

Maximum of 3 entries per person is allowed.

Example Entry:
[insert name here] would be a vengeful kuniku like his father and could easily hold a grudge, but like his mother he would be a bit soft spoken. [insert name here] would be a tough fighter and a hard worker. [insert name here] will travel with his mother to Kyushu because he feels a special closeness to his mother, but also because he wants to explore beyond his birthplace.
Obviously don't use this for your entry. D:

Whoever gives us the best entry will be declared the winner.
If you've got any questions, please PM me or Naked Satan.

And lastly, Good luck! <3

End Time: N/A

Name: Takumi
Meaning: Pioneer; sea

Personality: Takumi is, at heart, a poet. He wants to see the world, weaving stories and poems to tell to other Kuniku he meets along the way. He has a young and kind heart; often shy in the face of newcomers but always willing to stand up for what he believes in. A dreamer, he hopes to one day meet the great Ren or catch a glimpse of the elusive Inari. What a story that would be! He loves his family dearly and would, without a second thought, give him life to protect them. Having them split up was like a wound in his heart; however Takumi is very good and hiding his misgivings, being the optimistic voice everyone wants to here. He is very dutiful; doing what he believes he must rather than what he wants.

Saza or King?:
Though his heart yearns to travel to Kyushu and see the fabled shores, Takumi would choose to remain with his father and sister. He had always longed for King’s approval and feels he can only gain that by remaining with him. Plus he wants to stay by the side of his sister; his princess. Kyushu and the rest of Nippon can wait, he has a father and sister to take care of first.

My shot at stealing the one and only... NORI! (Japanese meaning "Rule/Ceremony")

Nori was born with the same boldness as his father. He also managed to inherit his confidence. Unfortunately, these traits mixed with his mother's ability to listen... and caused Nori to have a few to many "eat like a pig and talk about what's bothering you" nights with fellow Kuniku, as well as humans around the Honshu area.
One night the wife of a guard to the emperor spent her evening cooking and venting to the pup (she worried about her husband's safety). When it came time to head to bed, the wife gave the Kuniku one last dish of rice, then poked his soft belly and told him "you're getting on in weight. Huh, my little listener?"

But his pudgyness didn't hinder his sense of self worth. Listening to problem after problem, Nori quickly learned what things in Honshu troubled the people the most, and how to prioritize these problems. He choose to stay in Honshu and dedicate all his efforts to helping the people in more ways than fending off demons.

Souta was worried about a shipment of his son's yellow tail making it to the market on time. The river between the two of them had suddenly risen (due to rainfall) (...they lived in the south), and made the trip to the market place not only impractical, but dangerous.
Nori helped build a bridge. (A lot of people were looking forward to Yellow Tail Sashimi) (It is the best... after all.)

Takahiro's crops were destroyed every morning. He and his community members started to worry about the coming cold months. His family also started to fear whatever creatures were rampaging through their farm at night. Nori... well, he "took care" of those frisky little demons, and helped the community set up a new system of watching over their crops!


Task after task, Niro traveled Honshu, independently, as well as with friends and family, destroying demons and helping communities' ability to function peacefully.


Dislikes: Rudeness (rude people have nothing to offer the community, they're selfish and ungrateful.) >:
Likes: Everything else! Including pie, rice, sushi, sashimi, bread, fruit, ... food...
HOWEVER, it's almost impossible for anyone to get him to eat his veggies other than Mama Saza.

Name: Suo
Meaning: "Swamp" or "Marsh" in Finnish

Personality: Suo, being the child of the result of a fruitless relationship, does not let that get in the way of his life. He is quite the happy and loving child, constantly looking to cheer others up. Whenever someone is down, he will be there to offer a shoulder to cry on and offer the best words of advice he can. Despite not being around long... Suo has quickly learned the reality of life and his advice generally is whole hearted. Trying his hardest he will never leave others astray or send them out on crazy missions or objectives due to his advice - unless if the situation calls for it. Even then the young lad is quite hesitant to possibly make another suffer. Due to his loving nature, he has a hard time to say no to other Kuniku and this often gets him into unwanted trouble.

When not being the loving and adoring child that he is, he will often wander about to get out and see the sights. Whether it be a new flower that bloomed or a cloud that shifted its shape in the sky, Suo will be there, looking at it with awe. He thrives to learn about nature and the world around him as much as he does cheering others up.

However... one cannot always constantly give and never take. One in awhile this bundle of joy will steep into a depression that only he can shake. He'll always put a smile on his muzzle regardless of how he's feeling, often putting up a facade only few can see through. This depression is never anything self-loathing, but more like the fact one can wear themselves out looking out for others well being.

To sum it all up, he is a loving and curious youngster, looking for all the questions in life to try and provide answers. (Though... don't tell him he can't answer all the questions in the world!)

Likes: Suo enjoys all fauna and flora, all ups and downs, and anything and everything in general. There is little that at first glance he doesn't like. There is one thing for sure he loves - and that is to see others smile in happiness.

Dislikes: Suo, despite hardly disliking most, has trouble with those who make others frown and cry purposely. Those who harm others for their own sick twisted agendas, and, people who ask questions he cannot answer (it bugs him and he will always try to find the answer~)

Parent of Choice: Suo would be torn between having to pick a parent to go with. It would be assumed his natural reaction would to stay with his mother, in which he would for his younger years. However as he matured he would grow more curious as to who his father figure is and would set out to search for him. Basically, if possible, he would travel to see both parents, to offer his support and love to both as they move on with their lives. (Though of his search for his father would in his later years.)

Name: Ririshii (brave)

Personality: Like his mother, Ri is a listener, picking up on the details around him; however, his skills lie in listening to the scenery around him. Others are a different story. Cold and calm, like his father he prides himself in facts, and admires his father’s decisions based on them. This admiration will lead him to becoming a figure that cares less and less for the emotions of others and more and more about what is just – according to the facts. A fighter, he believes violence is the easiest and most efficient answer to everything, however grudges are also easy to gain, and once Ri has one it is held until he thinks the “problem” has been resolved – usually a violent outcome. When it comes to company, Ri is socially awkward and oblivious. He cannot pick up on the subtle emotions in ones actions, he needs it, practically, drawn out for him to understand and even when he has (finally) comprehended the matter Ri rarely knows what to do about it.

Determined, Ri will copntsantly push himself. Since his emotional understanding is low, physical knowledge is what he depends on. Even if his mind is telling him he is tired, Ri will push on until he collapses, making his actions usually very extreme and without a sense of real physical limitations. He doesn’t think about whether he can do it, whether it will hurt, he just tries it and sees what happens.

Serious, one of the other things Ri has issues piecing together is jokes. Often causing unnecessary fights between him and the teaser. Nothing is to ever be taken lightly, as far as Ri’s concerned there’s no time to paint a happy picture when there’s a grim canvas to be dealt with.

Future: His admiration for his father and desire to learn from him (and perhaps, one day, surpass him) will cause him to stay rooted in Honshu. However, inwardly, it was pain him somewhat to watch his mother go, but he probably won’t make sense of those feelings until later on in life. Coming to that realization, he might try to reconnect with his mother, or track her down, if successful the meeting would probably be awkward and full of silence, but should that happen it will reassure him somewhat, and put perhaps that twang of guilt, for leaving her, aside.

Name: Hibiki
Meaning: Sound; echo

Personality: His mother named him carefully hoping that he would inherit her sharp ears, but Hibiki is more like an earthquake than an echo. Like his father, he has a penchant for destruction -- unfortunately he inherited none of his parents' common sense to temper it with. As a result, Hibiki is endlessly getting into mischief, bouncing from outcrop to forest as swiftly as his namesake. Many of his childhood memories will feature King and Sazanami fishing him out of rivers by the scruff of his neck.

Impulsive and forthright, Hibiki is often unaware of danger and of others' feelings, saying things bluntly and barreling off cliffs. He's always been a lucky pup however, and so far has managed to land on his feet. Although close with his father in the way that sons sometimes are (gruffly and with lots of ankle-gnawing), Hibiki would choose to see the world, starting with Kyushu. There's so much of it after all, and there's plenty of time to visit his old man later. He's got some growing up to do first, and besides, who else is going to look after mum?

Likes: Chasing butterflies, waterhole-dipping, stars, human-watching, being the centre of attention, knocking things down.
Dislikes: Hot days, boredom, difficult problems, taking naps.

Name:
Vidar
Meaning:
Scandinavian masculine name, meaning "forest warrior."

Personality:
Sure of his actions, even at such a young age, Vidar would rarely need to use his voice to communicate what he wants... Not that he would have many cravings, other than to learn as much as he possibly could. As the 'Strong and Silent' type, he would be extremely protective of his mother and her interests, even knowing that Saza is fully capable of taking care of herself.

As a young child (and even onto the later years), Vidar would prefer to be a bit of a loner, not minding the nervous glances from the other pups, or the whispers of curiosity about his parents. He would take them all with a disturbingly calm smile, and continue to soak in the knowledge from his social experiment called life.

A talent later found in his life would be his amazing ability to manipulate others to his side of an argument... Not that he would abuse his talent.

+Likes+:
Vidar would enjoy sitting still for hours, just to watch others interact with one another. He would also secretly have a strong love for flowers, and other beautiful plants, and the rain that gives life to them.

-Dislikes-:
Vidar hates the abuse of power, and craves justice just as much as he does learning. One could say that he would dislike his father, but it's only because he has not decided to form an opinion of King quite yet.

Following in the footsteps of..?:
Quite obviously, he would travel with Saza. His intense need for knowledge would drive him to explore Kyushu with immense enthusiasm.
