Name: Cruz
Age: 4 years
Gender: Male; he/him/his
Birth: September 20th, 2011 | Virgo
Speech: "Nile Moss" (#48B807)

Stage: Sigel
Essence: Forceful Mistletoe
Soul: Crocodile
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Rune:
Eihwaz Yew

Appearance: The crocodile raevan comes in the shape of a teenage male. In the colder months of Autumn and Winter, his skin is pale but Cruz tans easily and sports quite a dark olive tone by Summer. He has long, straight evergreen hair usually tied in a high or low ponytail with a ribbon of varying color. His bangs are uneven, parted on one side and in his face so one eye is sometimes hidden. The croc has strong, angled features including his ears which are small and elfish. Cruz has vibrant green eyes and a disarming smile with a mouth filled with rows of pointed teeth. His nails are long and sharp like claws but it would take considerable force for them to cause harm. Diminutive wings sit high on his back. His ribbon is flared and a bit jagged, as though it was ripped, beneath which glows an olive-green rune.

Personality: Cruz is outspoken and thrives around others. He is a social butterfly, relying on friendliness and charming naivete that he comes by genuinely. Despite having such an ornery beast for a soul, Cruz is extremely approachable, affectionate, and loyal. His happiness hinges on the happiness of others, and this encompasses his every motivation; if he can make others happy, comfortable, and loved, then his own needs are fulfilled. As he literally needs physical affection to live, Cruz believes that the same is true for everyone in some capacity. Loneliness hits him hard and he wants nothing more to ensure that no one suffers it.

He prefers to keep things uncomplicated and, as a result, he is often mistaken for being simple minded. The majority of Cruz's thoughts are kept to himself, sometimes leading to confusion when he blurts out ideas. He can be downright tactless in his approach to issues and has immense difficulty understanding matters from other people's perspective. Too many rules and restrictions frustrate him and he finds they lead to misunderstandings or distractions from more important goals. This raevan has little problem ignoring or disobeying authority if he feels the result will be beneficial. He has strong opinions despite his small world view and prefers to think he is right. Cruz often takes matters into his own hands without consulting anyone.

The croc is unabashedly blunt and points out flaws without hesitance. However, Cruz is an exceptionally upbeat raevan and an unyielding optimist. He will carry on quickly from any sleight against him. Body language is Cruz's main form of communication; instinct and gut reactions read more clearly to this raevan than any form of speech and so he trusts them all the more. Though he may not be a lie detector, Cruz can often tell when your words and emotions aren't lining up. He sometimes picks up on cues when others have yet to notice them, even about themselves.


Likes: Kissing, warmth, touching, physical activity, water, soap operas
Dislikes: Extreme temperatures, yelling, upsetting people, confusion, complicated rules, stagnation
Fears: More than anything else, Cruz fears being completely alone or abandoned. Rationally, he is afraid of making others uncomfortable or signs of aggression and the constant struggle of maintaining his body temperature. Irrationally, Cruz fears immobilization and monstrous body horrors.
Goals: Ultimately, he wants everyone to be safe, to have friends that take care of each other, and for the world to stop being so unnecessarily complicated. His current aspiration is being a matchmaker to help spread joy and love.

Food Source: Cruz gains nourishment through the act of kissing. The recipient does not lose energy or feel tired after being kissed, the kiss itself is what feeds him. He may also gain nourishment if he is kissed anywhere on his bare skin, but the further from his mouth the kiss is the less nourishment he will gain. Thus far, his own preference and what feeds him most are mouth kisses. He can gain nourishment from kissing others elsewhere on their bodies but its effects are lessened.

Powers
Kiss Sense (Passive)
If he is close enough to the action, Cruz becomes aware of any kisses occurring within his proximity. It's like someone catching a whiff of food cooking and often leads Cruz to feel hungry. It has no taste and cannot feed him but he can detect the energy a kiss may contain; if it is an innocent peck or a lustful make out, his rune will contain those feelings from the kiss until such a time as he is able to kiss someone and it may affect his mood. Depending on the strength of the kiss -- if it made a lasting impression on the person -- Cruz may continue to detect it for several hours before it fades.

Rejuvenation (Active)
With a kiss as the medium, Cruz is able to sacrifice his own energy, will, and life force to another. This enables him to assist, energize, and even heal someone to low degrees. It activates the brain's endorphins, leading to dulled pain and increased physical enjoyment, can assist in blood clotting to stop bleeding on minor injuries, and perk someone up from being tired. In its weakest use, the rejuvenation can function as a wake up kiss and its most potent may give someone an extra push if they are on the brink of death. Side effects for Cruz may include fatigue, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and fainting depending on how much energy he expends.

Parasite Kiss (Active)
The mistletoe plant is hemiparasitic, attaching to trees or shrubs and gaining some of its nutrients from its host while deriving the remainder from photosynthesis. Much like his birthright, Cruz is able to drain energy from others through a kiss but unlike the mistletoe this does not feed him. It is functionally the opposite of his Rejuvenation power, activating his brain's endorphins which leads to dulled pain and increased physical enjoyment, can assist in blood clotting to stop bleeding on minor injuries or perk him up from the brink of exhaustion. Side effects to the person drained may include fatigue, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and fainting depending on how much energy he takes but it is impossible for him to take enough energy to put someone's life at risk.

Coercion (Active)
The Forceful Mistletoe that makes up Cruz was able to supplant and force its will onto others, overriding their actions and desires with a single objective until its completion: kissing. Now with higher brain function and complex thought, the mistletoe raevan is able to exert his will on others in far more creative ways. Though the control is stronger when sealed with a kiss, a simple touch will do. Cruz just has to concentrate on one strong thought and soon an almost consuming order is given, compelling others to immediate action. Once their task is completed, enough time has passed, or Cruz negates the action, they snap back to themselves fully aware of what they've done. This power will only be used with player permission and prior discussion.

Traits
Sharp Teeth
Like a true crocodile, Cruz has very sharp teeth built for rending flesh. In the instance of this raevan, his are made more for offensive and defensive attack rather than to help in eating. His jaws are powerfully hinged for downward biting, though he also has the crocodile's weak opening muscles. He could easily be rendered useless if his mouth were held shut. Also like crocodiles, Cruz's teeth never stop growing; if he loses one there will always be a replacement on the way.

Scales
Cruz's back, as well as his elbows, have crocodile scales and spines particularly around his wings. They feel much more coarse and rough than the rest of his skin and are scattered in patterns almost like a birthmark. His skin is also naturally dry and requires extra hydration and moisturizing to remain healthy. It is very easy for his skin to become chapped in the colder months.

Fins
His wings are some of the smallest in span to date for any raevan. They barely leave his body and seem more like fins than usable wings. If it weren't for a raevan's natural ability to float, Cruz would have great difficulty getting around. Though he can move and twitter them like normal, they would probably offer greater benefit in the water than in the air. Compared to other raevans, his mobility is also limited thanks to their size as he cannot flap them to propel himself at a greater speed.

Cold Blood
From his reptile soul, Cruz has gained the crocodile's cold blooded nature. This means he cannot generate his own body heat nor regulate his internal temperature and must rely on outside sources to do so. If he is cold, he will cozy up to those of warm blood or sun himself and if overheated he will seek shade, hold his mouth open like a croc, and look for cool water sources. Though he seems able to very lightly sweat when under great duress, this is a vestigial effect and has no bearing on his body heat.



User Image

FRIENDLINESS 30 -> 73
The company of others is what Cruz thrives on. He is undeniably a social butterfly and never shy in his approach. Cruz becomes attached easily and makes fast friends, though he is prone to jumping the gun on friendships and assuming his acquaintances feel as close as he does. This raevan is always eager to make new friends and connections, even with those who are shy or seem put off. Cruz is naturally kind and wears his heart on his sleeve, so he expects the same to be true of others. Even if you do Cruz wrong, it is more likely for him to turn the other cheek than to get mad.

STRENGTH 29 -> 69
As one would expect from the soul of a crocodile, Cruz can be mighty when he applies himself. The power he holds is alarming for his slight build but most of it is stored in his jaws, just like the harsh bite of a predator. His claws and teeth are sharp, his grip firm, and a surprising amount of lift with the right leverage. Thankfully, Cruz finds little reason to use his natural defenses as he rarely engages in confrontation. He would be quite the contender but skill and training will always win out over brute force and Cruz is as untrained as they come.

ENDURANCE 26 -> 66
Cruz's endurance is very circumstantial. When fully fed and rested, he takes a long time to tire and his wounds tend to heal quickly. He is emotionally resilient, often bouncing back quickly from adversity. However, Cruz has quite an appetite and due to the nature of his feeding method rarely finds himself in top form, a tank that's three-quarters full. He exhausts quickly in the cold, as it saps his energy, and finds that too much heat is equally overwhelming. Cruz takes a lackadaisical approach to life to conserve energy.

CHARISMA 24 -> 62
Cruz prides himself on being affable and easy to approach. He is easy to talk to and many people seem drawn to his genuinely cheerful disposition. Cruz is assertive and persuasive in his interactions, finding no difficulty in meeting others and making acquaintances. He keeps a positive and inspirational attitude that he hopes spreads to those around him. While he is not intentionally underhanded, Cruz sometimes plays a dangerous social game and attempts to play people off of one another in effort to do good by them but things often don't go as planned.

INTELLIGENCE 22 -> 55
While he takes to some topics and tasks quickly, Cruz often finds difficulty with more complex matters or instruction. If he can't wrap his mind around something, he would rather forget it or attempt to alter it to better suit his purposes. As far as IQs go, Cruz is quite average. His learning is deeply affected by the environment and is better adapted through observation. Structured institutional learning would hinder Cruz in his studies and he would be easily distracted.

HUMOR 22 -> 58
It's very easy to make Cruz smile or laugh and he loves being able to share that with others. Making others smile is important to him and he is very easy to amuse. Try as he may, Cruz doesn't really understand the structure of a joke or comedic timing so intentional comedy tends to escape him. Some jokes just go right over his head but if others are laughing he'll usually laugh even if he doesn't understand why it was funny.

CREATIVITY 21 -> 57
While Cruz prefers simple, uncomplicated approaches to life, he can go above and beyond in his efforts to work around minor obstacles. He comes up with unique solutions and thinks outside of the box but sometimes it can go too far. Cruz is a fan of crafts and, while he isn't the greatest artist, he is improving each day. He has a deep appreciation for decoration and aesthetics.

MAGIC 20 -> 50
For quite a long time, it was thought Cruz didn't have any powers at all. His aptitude seems quite average for raevans, though a running theory is it was his time frozen in the tank thanks to Roux's ice magic that may have stunted the development of his powers for nearly two years. His most impressive ability is quite potent but the medium through which all of his powers function is restricted to a kiss or physical contact.

Forceful Mistletoe
It is a very well known custom of Christmas cheer, that any two person who came across each other under a hanging mistletoe is obliged to kiss. Though a lot of people do it for the Christmas spirit, ultimately everyone has the power and rights to deny a kiss. But this particular mistletoe is different. As if having a will of it's own to stick to tradition, it forces any two person that met underneath it to kiss, regardless of sex and age. Kyou accidentally walked beneath it with an old lady once, and was overcame by a strange yet strong urge to kiss her. And kissed he did, unfortunately for Kyou, but fortunately for the old lady because she seemed quite delighted. And this is how Kyou found this peculiar mistletoe.

Filled Bottle
Olive green smoke once filled the bottle and swirled lazily as though floating through water. The capture of the crocodile was an accident on Anita's part, as it took the bottle from her and kept it in its jaws until the cold winter air and old age weakened the beast enough to have its soul captured. The Animal Control Unit arrived after the old brute was already gone where they determined that the cause of death was a mix of old age and exposure to the cold. It is not known where the crocodile came from or why it was swimming among the Isle of Gambino's docks but this behavior is not uncommon of its species. Though she will never be certain, Anita believes the crocodile chose to give its life.

User ImageSaltwater Crocodile
Saltwater crocodiles, or salties, are the largest of all living reptiles and the largest terrestrial predator in the world. Their typical habitats, despite being capable of surviving in salt water, are usually swamps, estuaries, lagoons, and rivers. They are opportunistic hypercarnivorous apex predators that utilize ambush tactics to capture their prey and are capable of taking down almost any animal. Due to their size and distribution, saltwater crocodiles are the most dangerous of their species to humans. They are capable of traveling long distances at sea and vagrant individuals have been known to appear in areas far away from their general range. Crocodiles are fiercely competitive and fight for dominance of their territory. They migrate to warmer areas when cold spells hit and thrive in warm climates.

Name: Anita Harley Bishop
Age: Twenty-five
Gender: Female; she/her/hers
Species: Human (Gaian)
Birthday: February 24th, 1990 | Pisces
Speech: Light Sea Green

Occupation: Clerk at the Gambino Mall's GameDepot video game outlet

Appearance: Standing at five-foot-seven and weighing one-hundred-sixty-some pounds with long limbs and a thin frame, Anita is far from an imposing figure. She has fair skin that burns easily, hazel green eyes, and lots dark brown hair that is thick, wavy, and usually kept in two braids that nearly reach her tummy. Her posture isn't the greatest and Anita has to consciously make an effort to adjust herself so she isn't slouching. Anita dresses for comfort whenever she can, choosing to keep a simple ensemble of jeans, zip-up hoodies, tank tops and sneakers. When the occasion calls for it she does have some formal wear but even that is simple sweaters with slacks.

Personality: Anita is an easy going person. She smiles and laughs often, has boundless patience, and doesn't allow herself to be pushed down by adversity. Even if she has problems with people, Anita tries her best to remain civil. Despite this, her emotions are very strong and often fall to extremes. She is headstrong and opinionated, which makes picking her battles difficult. While she never wants to stir the pot or cause unrest, Anita doesn't always know where to stop. She finds no merit in being two faced, only the barest use in white lies or half-truths, and holds no limit of contempt for manipulation. To her, your word is your bond; if you break her trust you may never repair it.

She can hold her own in heated discussions and verbal jousting but it is easy for Anita to become overwhelmed when she is impassioned. Anita tries her best to live her life and make decisions based on logic but more often than not she is ruled by her heart and emotions win out. While she easily comprehends her own happiness and anger, Anita doesn't know how to deal with sorrow. It is easier for her not to. Talking about her problems is an arduous task so Anita prefers to deal with them alone – she would rather no one realize she is feeling bad at all. This often leads people to believe Anita has no problems which attracts friends and family who need someone to lean on. Though it can be difficult. Anita is very willing to lend an ear and be a pillar of strength for her loved ones.


Likes: Video games, animals, hard rock music, technology, junk food, sleeping
Dislikes: Complex mathematics, hard labor, early mornings, being unhelpful, expenses, hunger
Fears: Anita has a great fear of uncertainty, especially what comes after death. Rationally, she fears injury, animal death, and being stranded alone. Irrationally, she fears insects, tooth loss, darkness, and realistic dolls or mannequins.
Goals: Anita would prefer having more authority with video game production and distribution. Play testing is her current goal, as she doesn't see enough creativity in herself to assist in production or marketing. Alternatively, providing care and assistance to animals is a very fulfilling and more attainable dream.

History: Born to parents who married within the first year of their relationship and raised as a communal baby between family members following an equally speedy divorce until she was old enough for elementary school, Anita's early childhood wasn't the most stable. Once her mother was in a good spot financially, things settled into a more consistent and positive support structure. They moved to Gambino, where Anita entered public school.

Anita wanted for very little as she was growing up, though she was always a little curious about her absent father. She was a shy and quiet child; she made few friends but those she did were kept close. Minerva often returned late from work so Anita would stay at her friend's places or in after school programs until she could be picked up. Halfway through middle school, her father walked back into her life. Though her mother was apprehensive, she wanted Anita to be able to make her own decision about whether she associated with her dad or not and the two began to visit frequently during the weekends. By high school, Anita realized that she and her father didn't have much in common, which made interaction forced and awkward.

For her senior graduation, a new member of the family joined them – Tango. Anita raised him from a small pup and treated him like the sibling she never had. While she was trying to figure out her life's direction and get out of the world after school, her father offered Anita a low-rent duplex in Durem through the Housing Commission. She moved there with Tango, where she landed a job at a Game Depot. Unfortunately, the distance made it difficult to keep up with her school friends and, one by one, Anita watched her friendships dissolve. Life in Durem lasted the better part of two years until her dad was offered an impressive sum for the property and decided to pull the rug out from under her. Turned out on her ear, Anita moved back in with her mother in Gambino and hasn't spoken to her father since.


Lab Involvement: In 2008, while still living in Durem, Anita stumbled upon one of Lab 305's beach party fundraisers while visiting her mom and walking Tango. Though it had been running for several years, this was the first she heard of the lab. From there, it seemed to crop up everywhere. At work she met a frei named Zul and they took a shine to each other. Though she began considering applying for the project, Anita never actually sent out a formal application or visited the building. Without warning in early 2010, an empty soul bottle and the vial containing Forceful Mistletoe were gifted to her by Zul. Anita was overcome by the amount of faith and trust Zul must have had in her to break protocol so she could be involved. The situation was settled and made official before things proceeded. Since then, Anita has taken an active role in attending as many fundraisers and events as possible, becoming acquainted with more of the raevans, and taken it upon herself to assist the newer guardians where she can. Lab 305 is an important and highly influential part of her life.

2241 Edgewater Avenue
Gambino Isle, Gaia



User Image
Wavecrest Apartments are one of the less expensive ocean view complexes on Gambino Island. The building is eight stories high with balconies for every room hanging over an active beach-side boardwalk with a clear view of the nearby pier, the open sea, and gorgeous sunsets. The building is pet friendly, though hardly any tenants keep them; it's more common to see a purse dog than a hefty wolfhound like Tango. The residents tend to keep to themselves, which really means they try to ignore each other unless interaction is necessary.

Apartment 10 on the third floor is where Cruz, Anita, and Tango make their home. They live with Anita's mother, Minerva. The interior is well lit with a polished wood floor and off-white walls. It feels homey and lived in, though is quite spacious and has a comfortable amount of leg room. Their refrigerator is covered with magnets and the kitchen windowsill has a small assortment of miniature cactus plants. On the balcony are two white deck chairs and a few potted flowers, of the hanging and sitting variety.

Since Cruz's addition to the family, Anita gave up her bed for his use. They both share the bedroom itself, splitting dresser drawers for storage purposes, but Anita has taken to sleeping in the living room on the poll-out sofa bed for the last few years. Tango rotates sleep locations between Cruz, Anita, and Minerva. Their bedroom connects to the master bathroom and has a queen sized bed, as well as ample space for people to hang out. The living room sports a large flat screen TV, an impressive entertainment system, and a massive cache of console video games.

Tango - Sarloos Wolfhound, 6yrs

Shortly after graduating high school, a very small pup became part of the household. He got his name due to the fact that his tail wagging was too intense for the rest of his body when he was younger and it made his entire backside wiggle around like he was dancing. Tango is a very gentle and playful dog with an assortment of tricks who has plenty of love to give. He responds very well to commands and, though he is a beggar and can play rough, will behave as soon as someone tells him “no”.

Minerva Marlene - Anita's mother, 50yrs

Financial manager at the Bank of Gambino, Minerva is a fairly accomplished woman with a good head on her shoulders. She wants nothing more than a good life for her daughter, a better life than she had, and often goes out of her way to make Anita, Cruz, and all of her friends comfortable. She is something of a communal mom and a pillar of strength for her entire family, after helping to raise all of her siblings. In her spare time she keeps a small collection of potted plants and is learning to make jewelry. Lab 305 itself is still something of a mystery to Minerva and she was initially apprehensive about the project but has come to embrace Cruz like a son and is usually the one to give him full meals.















User Image





Tristan Bishop - Anita's father, 52yrs

An ex-real estate agent for the Gaian Housing Commission in Aekea, he has lived in nearly all parts of Gaia at one time or another. Before working in real estate, Tristan dabbled in a variety of occupations and met Minerva while bar hopping. The transition from living alone with only responsibilities towards himself to married life and fatherhood were difficult for Tristan to cope with and he was neglectful to Minerva and Anita through the pregnancy and first year of her life. After their divorce, he kept his distance and assisted only through child support. When Anita was in middle school he attempted to establish contact with her but things soured after a few years. Though Cruz attempted to reunite them and repair his relationship with Anita, things fell through and Anita has decided they are through speaking.

The Marlene's are a dysfunctional group with a complicated history pock-marked by petty squabbles, divorce, and poorly disguised resentment. Since Anita came into the picture as the youngest and only child, everyone has done their best to put away their negative feelings and come together in love and support of the communal baby. Minerva is something of a figure-head to the Marlene children, as she is the most stable and the one who brought them all together. Kirk and Madina, Anita's grandparents, are divorced and keep a civil appearance but Madison makes it no secret she detests him. Catalina, the oldest child, is the only one whose marriage hasn't dissolved though it seems like it won't hold up much longer with her husband, Lance Gorman, always working and never attending family functions. Jessica was married but the two divorced while Anita was still very young. Keith, the youngest and only son, has never been married and keeps two dogs as his children; Gracie, an affectionate Boxer, and Chub, a clumsy Welsh Corgi. Response to Cruz was initially lukewarm, as they weren't sure what to make of him, but they have since warmed up to him as part of the family though they aren't very close.

Her father's side of the family, the Bishops are not an active part of Anita or Cruz's life. Levi Bishop and Ramona Valesco married young and had two sons, Robert and Tristan. Their sons were aggressive with each other since they were little and rarely got along with their parents. Only into adulthood did Robert and Tristan begin to calm their rivalry. The Bishops were practically estranged from each other once the brothers moved out and it was Levi's decline in health and mobility that served to bring them together. Levi passed away before Anita was born and Ramona moved out of Gaia shortly after. She sent Anita birthday cards for several years but they stopped abruptly after she stopped speaking to her father. Anita only ever met Robert when visiting her father and they rarely spoke. Since Tristan and Minerva divorced, things have been shaky and the Bishops have been silent after Anita chose to cease contact with her father. In the summer of 2015, Cruz became acquainted with this side of the family and after several unfortunate debacles will not be seeing any of them again.

Cruz doesn't really have many acquaintances that aren't raevans or otherwise involved with Lab 305. Most of Anita's friends from school have parted ways or otherwise drifted. At current, she mainly has frequent acquaintances from work or close friends involved with Lab. For the time being, Cruz and Anita generally know and associate with the same groups of people.

Damien Lark - Mutual friend, 34yrs

A flirtatious spitfire who never seems to stop horsing around, Damien isn't the type of person Anita would usually hang out with. They met Damien through Mordekai on the 4th of July at the Clarke residence for barbecue and fireworks. He gives off the air of a playful yet rebellious delinquent but makes an effort to get along with others. Once closely involved with Anne Clarke before she passed, he reunited with Mordekai when he began working at Hartline Farms. Damien was in fact the one who purchased the old duplex in Durem that forced Anita to move back to Gambino.


Damien is a side character open to roleplay and plots outside of Cruz or Anita's development.

Gabe Knight - Mutual acquaintance, 27yrs

The far more quiet and ill tempered younger brother to Ethiriel's new guardian, Gabe recently moved in with her and Henry. After losing his most recent job, Gabe had little success finding new employment in Aekea to pay for his apartment and utilities. He suffers from some health issues and attitude problems that make the hiring process extremely frustrating but Gabe is actively looking for employment wherever he can find it. When Henry is busy with hospital work, he functions as Ethiriel's alternative care-giver though he doesn't seem overly thrilled about the situation.


Gabe is a side character open to roleplay and plots outside of Cruz or Anita's development.

Dutch Holloway - GameDepot Head Manager, 38yrs
Though Dutch wasn't around for the initial incident caused by the Forceful Mistletoe he sees the fallout; he and Anita have setup a system, called "code green", to help her with customer harassment that continues even years later. He is training to be the district manager for all GameDepot locations on Gambino Island. While he can be curt, he is Anita's favorite manager and Dutch has taken favor to her as an employee and brought her under his wing. He has two young daughters and sometimes gushes about them.


Holly Marron - GameDepot Manager, 32yrs
Replacing a previous manager and usually working weekends, Holly is not someone Anita looks forward to working with. She is very laid-back and casual while on the clock, which makes keeping up a professional and productive atmosphere difficult. Holly was the on-shift manager during the mistletoe incident and encouraged Anita to have another “kiss sale” due to profits and general amusement. She continues to tease Anita about the situation years later, much to her frustration and embarrassment.

Aina - Floating Rain & Pomegranate
Best Friend / "Little Sister"
Cruz was the first raevan that Aina ever met shortly after she was born and he couldn't have been more honored. Since then, they've been largely inseparable. His and Aina's schedules in terms of sleepiness often conflict but they're always eager to do just about anything together, especially taking naps. She has such a whimsical outlook on everything that matches Cruz's desire for simplicity, which he greatly appreciates, but she is also boundlessly creative which is something he admires. They treat each other like siblings.

Anastacia - Self-Replicating Virus & Black Widow
Uncertain Relationship
The very first raevan Cruz ever met, Anastacia was also the first unfortunate victim of the croc's bottomless hunger for affection. For a long while Anya thought Cruz had assaulted her and Cruz couldn't comprehend what he had done, only knowing he earned her wrath. He recently got the chance to apologize for scaring her and it went better than expected but Cruz is still unsure of where they stand.

Ethiriel - Unoxidized Silver & Tea Plant
Friend
Ever since their first meeting, Cruz has found himself enamored with one of the only other green raevans he knows. He is always eager to kiss and cling to her and thankfully she is very reciprocal. Ethiriel often makes Cruz feel at ease and he is driven to give her the same comfort, especially in light of her difficult switch in guardians. Since they've both grown, Cruz has found himself wondering if he truly understands Ethiriel's outlooks and motivations, as they seem to conflict with his own on the rare occasions they speak frankly. He just hopes she is living a better life than the one she started with.

Iorek - Mimic Stone & Gargoyle
Lost Friend...?
Wanting their raevans to branch out more, Cruz and Iorek were setup to meet with their guardians at a little cafe. Forgetting his manners, Cruz took Iorek's first kiss and their relationship has since become a bit confusing. It lead to an unfortunate falling out that Cruz has deeply regretted since, but there may be hope of repairing their relationship in the future.

LuLu - Self-Indulgent Ink & Br'er Rabbit
Acquaintance
Their first encounter was not so kind; in the midst of LuLu's issues with her essence, Cruz encountered her and was antagonized. The two got into a brawl that ended with LuLu disappearing and a worried voicemail to her guardian from Anita. She has since recovered and they reconciled somewhat before the long drive to Kahadlok but the encounter has left Cruz shaken and with a little more fear in him.

Prajna - Inverted Flame & Fallen Star
Friendly Infatuation
Cruz was instantly captivated by Prajna's vibrant red coloration beside his own greens. Together they make quite the Christmas duo! While Cruz is affectionate with everyone, he may have over stepped his boundaries with Prajna and he is not sure where they currently stand but he hopes things are well.

Rhedefre - Broken Dawn & White Stag
Friend
Cruz and Rhedefre met formally during the mess that was the search and rescue at Khahadlok. It was a confusing time, and since then it has been difficult to meet with the stag during calm and leisurely time. Despite this, Cruz has been eager to get to know Cesc better and form a proper friendship. He is often upset by the turmoil that Cesc has been subjected to undeservedly.

Zurine - Ice Rose & Snowy Owl
Friendly Acquaintance
Cruz met Zurine met by chance one Winter in the Gambino Mall just after Anita finished her shift. Due to Cruz's cold blooded nature and Zurine's chilly aura, it is difficult for him to be physically affectionate with her in lower temperatures. He compensates this by draping himself on her in the Summer heat when he needs to cool off. It turns out, they have a shared love of a terrible supernatural soap opera.

He has also met Aadhira, Laurel, Eirdirsceol, Ekundayo, Zul, Rivener, Melisande, Tatiana, Luka, Vesna, Eden, and Yuri.

Duncan Clarke - Aina
Friend
Though the initial meeting with Duncan was blanketed by confusion and distress, Cruz found the man to be friendly and approachable. He is especially taken with the children in Duncan's family, Jerri and Jillette. Cruz feels very comfortable around Duncan and enjoys listening to his insight; he thinks Duncan makes a wonderful guardian and friend.

Leigh Brighton - Endless Tide
Employer / Friend in the making
(50-100 words, details to come)

Vivi LaCelle - Rhedefre
Friend
One of the first guardians Cruz had the pleasure of mingling with, Vivi has left a warm impression on him. She is always eager to kiss him full on the mouth, which makes anyone a friend in his book, but she also tried to help him understand different perspectives on kissing and relationships. Cruz feels he owes a lot to Vivi for his understanding of Valentine's Day.

He has also met Zeke Farris, Alex Falcone, Isikoro Delaran, Axel Halkias, Claire Holmes, Lilian Maevin, Harrison Troxel, Ronan Shea, Vivi LaCelle, Henry Knight, Yves Lecuyer, and Xan Wolverick.

Mordekai Kantor - Aina/Duncan
Friend
Though it was only after Mordekai's stay in the hospital that Cruz actually knew who he was, Cruz has been eager to see him in better spirits at every opportunity. It was through his manipulation that Mordekai and Anita began dating and Cruz is very proud of this fact. Cruz finds Mordekai to be a kind-hearted and affectionate man whom he trusts will take care of Anita and a good father to Aina.

Shepard Ryan - Rhedefre/Vivi
Acquaintance
Cruz met Shepard at Vivi at Vermillion Bakery one Valentine's Day. Ever since, he thought Shepard and Anita might be able to kiss each other. He successfully got them to have lunch together but neither of them thought of it as a date. In the end he helped them solidify their friendship and Cruz is quite happy about that.

He has also met Aaron Holmes, David Nao, Camille Moore, Johan Kantor, Leo Gaiten, and Tyson Maevin.

Aina - Floating Rain & Pomegranate
Friend
Aina's introduction into Anita and Cruz's life has been nothing if not a joyful experience. She is a treasured member of their family, one Anita is proud to help in any way she can. While she may not be much of a parental figure herself and thinks she takes on more of a big sister role with Cruz and Aina both, Aina has inadvertently helped her step up to the plate and be more responsible as well as, she hopes, instill more responsibility into Cruz.

Anastacia - Self-Replicating Virus & Black Widow
Wary
Anita first learned of Anastacia while Cruz was growing in the tank beside her. She and Zeke looked forward to the two meeting and possibly being friends. When Anya and Cruz got off to a rock start, Anita's hope dwindled. They didn't see each other again until the search and rescue of Dr. Kyou where Anya was terrified and violent. She left Anita with a nasty gash on her upper right arm that has since scarred but the whole ordeal allowed Anita's less than positive feelings toward her settle somewhere closer to neutrality.

Ethiriel - Unoxidized Silver & Tea Plant
Acquaintance
Though they don't know each other very well personally, Anita feels a sense of familiarity with Ethiriel due to how fond Cruz is over her. When Anita heard the news about Ethiriel's rehoming, Anita was worried but these fears have been quenched as Henry seems to have a good head on his shoulders from the handful of times they've interacted. She knows the switch must have been hard on her but Anita is looking at the bright side.

Melisande - Divine Song & Muse
Wary
Anita and Melisande met formally during the search and rescue. They were teamed together with Cruz and Harrison Troxel. For most of the ordeal the two got along well and Anita cared for Melisande after she suffered an injury but the end of the rescue ruined their positivity. In Anita's view, Melisande willfully endangered herself and others in attempt to rescue Dr. Kyou. While attempting to protect her she got a little rough, for which she feels guilty, but feels justified in trying to save her life. Since the incident, Melisande seems intent to avoid Anita and she isn't sure how to feel about the situation.

Rhedefre - Broken Dawn & White Stag
Friend
Though their first true encounter was in the confusion at Kahadlok, Anita mistook their introduction at the crawfish boil as their initial meeting. Cesc is someone Anita wishes she knew better, especially in light of her friendship with his guardians. She considers Cesc, Vivi, and Shepard to be some of the best people at Lab and adores their bakery. She hopes to get to know them all better in the years to come.

Zul - Lava Ice Rock & Baphomet
Friend
Zul was the first raevan Anita became involved with and attached to. He fondly calls her "Game Lady Anita" and she was always eager to see him at events or visiting her work as a customer. Though they haven't had much opportunity to speak in a few years, Anita still feels indebted to Zul and will speak his praises to everyone. He was the one to ensure that Cruz came under Anita's care and she could not be more grateful.

She has also met Lorin, Eirdirsceol, Iorek, Luka, LuLu, Prajna, Rivener, Laurel, Tatiana, Rhedefre, Vyn, and Zurine.

User Image


Alex Falcone - Zul
Friend
While her involvement overall has been passive, Anita would say that it was Alex's influence that really set everything in motion for her. They met humbly when she brought Zul into the game store and things snowballed from there. Alex was the first one to welcome her to the "lab family" and she has always made Anita feel positively.

Axel Halkias - Isobel
Acquaintance
Anita was contacted by Axel from Lab's call sheet following her soul capture for some advice. She was one of the first guardians Anita was able to assist on her own. The two haven't spoken in a long while but Anita is always eager to hear from her and hopes to get to know her better.

Claire Holmes - Lorin
Acquaintance
Attending the crawfish boil with her husband, Aaron, in the hopes of mingling and getting more information about the lab, Anita exchanged numbers with Claire to provide further assistance. She is happy to know that the couple has since become involved and continues to offer herself for any help the two might need in preparation.

Duncan Clarke - Aina
Close Friend
Anita met Duncan and Mordekai at the Lab's secret garden fundraiser. While Cruz was busy braving the hedge maze with Axel, Anita spoke with Duncan about soul captures. He invited her to a family get together where she and Cruz could help him with his own capture. After an unfortunate incident that sent Mordekai to the hospital, Anita and Cruz have become quite entrenched in Duncan's life and Aina's development. He is a close and trusted friend.

Harrison Troxel - Tatiana
Acquaintance
The two met during the search and rescue in Kahadlok shortly after Harrison first became involved with the lab. Anita leaned on him quite a bit, appointing him their team's leader thanks to his experience in the field. She considers him reliable and efficient.

Josh Peterson - LuLu
Acquaintance
Before even knowing about Lab 305, Anita bumped into Josh and David while they still had their bottles. The three managed to get stuck in an elevator together for a few hours and have kept in vague contact ever since. Though she and Josh don't talk often their relationship is positive, if not a bit awkward. The fact Anita kissed him under the mistletoe's influence doesn't help matters.

Leigh Brighton - Endless Tide
Acquaintance
Anita and Cruz met Leigh through Duncan and Mordekai. The three of them were called on by the men to help set up a crawfish boil and potluck at the lab one year. While she doesn't know Leigh very closely, she sees her from time to time -- especially on holidays -- and is eager to help her with the raevan project any way she can.

Ronan Shea - Bleeding Bark
Friend
Anita and Ronan have met and seen each other sporadically at various Lab events since 2010 but the first time they actually introduced themselves was on the bus to Kahadlok. Cruz meddled in an attempt to get them to go on a lunch date that ultimately resulted in them becoming better friends.

Zeke Farris - Anastacia
Friend
The first time Anita met Zeke was in Lab 305s office while she was handing in the soul bottle. The two got along swimmingly and bonded quickly over the fact their raevans were not only growing together but side by side. Anita would sometimes bring Zeke donuts in exchange for letting her peek at the tank. She considers Zeke a reliable friend and member of staff.

She has also met Doctor Kyou, Isikoro Delaran, Namini Nao, Vivi LaCelle, Henry Knight, Yves Lecuyer, Ethan Blake, and Lilian Maevin.

David Nao - Prajna
Acquaintance
Before even knowing about Lab 305, Anita bumped into Josh and David while they still had their bottles. The three managed to get stuck in an elevator together for a few hours and have kept in vague contact ever since. Anita was always a little put off by David's advances and "charm" but she is willing to look past it, especially in light of how taken Cruz is with Prajna.

Mordekai Kantor - Aina/Duncan
Boyfriend
They met together with Duncan during Lab's secret garden fundraiser when Mordekai was less than thrilled about the community. After an unfortunate incident that sent Mordekai to the hospital, Anita and Cruz have become deeply involved with the household. Thanks to Cruz's meddling, Mordekai and Anita have begun a relationship and things are going positively. She cares deeply for Mordekai as her best friend and significant other.

Shepard Ryan - Rhedefre/Vivi
Friend
Minerva bought cookies from Vermillion Bakery one day and Anita ended up eating the whole bunch! She went to get replacements and found herself chatting with Vivi and Shepard who happened to be newly involved with Lab. Until Cruz's meddling, Anita considered herself and Shepard to be acquaintances but he has since stepped up in status. The two speak easily and seem to share a lot of opinions about Lab itself. Plus, he likes dogs!

She has also met Camille Moore, Johan Kantor, Aaron Holmes, Damien Lark, Leonard Gaiten, and Tyson Maevin.

From Duncan and Mordekai
Firecracker poppers to share
A giant (3.5ft) crocodile plush and deep red scarf for Cruz
A moss green scarf for Anita
Given Here


From Xan to Cruz
Several knit crocodile scarves in a variety of colors
A pair of chaste/innocent kissing dice
Given Here


From Domevlo to Anita
A hand made card and care package of exotic snacks
One new video game
Two (used/recycled) erotic novels (?!?)
Given Here


From Revontulet to Cruz
A dark blue to green gradient scarf
There was a light knock on the door or the soft chime of a door bell, a delivery man standing on the other side of the door with a small package in his hands. The tag clearly read "A gift to my Cruz from Revontulet, I hope you will think of me"

The package was moldable in the crocodile's hands, the wrapping paper crinkling from a lack of structure under the paper. Within was a dark blue scarf, knit with warm, thick wool that perhaps too predictably faded into a paler blue and finally into a shimmering green at the end which were somewhat tufted. Another small note rested atop the scarf and it read: "Although the winter is cold, please stay warm. I asked Doucette to knit this for you, and I hope that it is up to your standards." The aurora had attempted to learn how to knit herself but had found she didn't have the prolonged interest in the project and thus had no shame in admitting to Cruz that, without the skill or the money to obtain one herself, she utilized the only other resource she could.

A hand painted pet rock (now named Cupid)
Custom made care-for-you cards he can cash in at any time, including hugs, kisses, and dates

All given here.
