Edit 28/2 2012 -------- This is still so on, you people! I disappear sometimes. I'm sorry about that, and I should probably be straight with this right from the start. I'll be contacting those that I have tags with, but any new applicants should know this is, sadly, how I function. I'll get the stuff done that I've agreed to do, but it may take some time. If I do disappear on you, do go right ahead and poke me. I won't be upset. But I may still lag for a bit.

Meet Fjolnir. He is a real sweetheart with a tragic past and some deep-seated emotional issues. He needs friends, possibly enemies, and a more coherent past.

The Background: Once upon a time, Fjolnir belonged to a pride of brightly-coloured, open-minded, peaceful lions, who appreciated the arts (dancing, singing, making all kinds of music, storytelling, painting, etc.) Basically, they were like lion hippies.
They lived in a beautiful jungle, full of multicoloured flowers, sweet scents and bubbling brooks, in peace and harmony, never hunting any more than they could eat and welcoming anyone and anything who found them to stay with them for a while or forever. Their only rule: Be respectful of nature and each other. Love and peace~!

Then, one night, the pride was discovered by human poachers, who slaughtered everyone for their bright pelts. Everyone, except for Fenja (Owned by Mogami), who was taken alive and put in a cage, and Fjolnir, who witnessed the whole thing - including the death and skinning of his own mother - from a small hiding place.

At the end of that horrible night, Fjolnir was left all alone with only the skinned bodies of his loving friends and family for company. He was hardly more than a cub.

What I need/want for him: Since the death of his pride, Fjolnir has stayed in his jungle home, keeping his old pride's lands as best he can, as it is the only link he has to his bright, happy cubhood. He is also hoping that someday, Fenja might find her way back, since he saw her be taken alive, and he feels that he needs to make sure that she has a home to return to if she does.

Past: I would like to figure out Fjolnir's past a bit. As he grew up, he probably wasn't always alone. It would be nice if someone came across him soon after the incident, maybe even helped him dispose of the mutilated bodies. Maybe they tried to take him with them to some other place, but he refused/ran away/they reached an agreement to meet back at the jungle again every now and then/whatever.
Maybe they stayed with him for a while. Any species.
Spectre got this one covered. Thanks Epine!

I'm also thinking it could be possible that Fjolnir was somehow driven away from his home while he was still young, and had to get stronger to go take it back. Your SoA could be the aggressor that must be defeated,(C.C.G has dibs on this one!) or we could NPC that character if you'd rather have yours be the sensei/mentor/(Holy cow, Fjol's gonna be mentored by a God! Thanks Nova!)strong comrade who helped Fjolnir get stronger and/or helped him fight off the invader. Maybe two or three RPs in all, I think? Any species.

Friends: He needs past and present friends. Someone to talk to, sing with/for. Maybe even SoA who has decided to stay with him and help him keep his home, as a sort of mini-pride/loose coalition kind of thing. Fjolnir will insist that everyone who stays does it according to his old pride's rules, though. Fjolnir is still a very gifted singer, and has a lot of respect and appreciation for other artists or artistically inclined critters, but anyone's welcome. Any species.

Fights: Fjolnir is also available for fights, if anyone's looking. He will defend his lands with teeth and claws, and use the same means to drive off anyone who disrespects nature/others. He'll gladly grant shelter and protection to anyone who is persecuted or hunted or otherwise need a safe haven for a while, as long as they ask nicely and show respect. But anyone who behaves intolerantly or mean will be made to leave, one way or the other. Any species.

Not Looking For:
Pride
Mate

Other: Anything! Throw your plots at me! If there's any way that Fjolnir can meet/help/smack your SoA around, let me know! Be aware, though, that it is unlikely to encounter Fjolnir outside of the jungle. His home is not too difficult to find, though, and I'm not unflexible. If you have an idea that he might fit, it can't hurt to ask me.

I'm assuming it's okay to post in here when offering up SoA for some of your plots? If it's not shout at me and I can delete then PM. 8D

Anywho, without further ado I wouldl ike to offer up Spectre as the individual who Fjolnir met as a cub.

User Image

Spectre in the present time has become very haunted, skittish and hermit like which is all predominantly down to the fact that he's tortured by his Seer abilities. However, in the past they didn't actually 'exist' i.e. they hadn't shown themselves yet. He's a lion who suffered from a traumatic past himself (he lost his pride brutally as well) so he would be able to empathise with the cub and also set about providing suitable burial for the bodies.

I'm not sure if Spectre would try to encourage him to come along with him as Spectre wouldn't have a home either so there'd be no point...but the older lion (who'd probably be an adolescent then) would be the sort to stick around and teach him a thing or two about survival if he needed to e.g. hunting and a little bit of self defence. After that, Spectre could probably putter off again to find a place where he does belong and would promise to come and visit another time - however, instead of visiting he never comes back for the simple reason that his Seer traits finally emerge and he isolates himself from everyone out of fear.

8D Could lead to them eventually being reunited in the present at some point as well! Although Fjolnir might be a little unsettled by how disturbed and incoherent Spectre has become, it could take Fjolnir a while to convince him that he wasn't dead and that what he was looking at was real. But with this in mind, it would also work as a good stepping stone towards Spectre recognising he's not completely insane and he can maybe set about a small quest of his own to find a way to surpress or control his visions.

I tried to make this suggestion as open as possible so that Fjolnir can have a few encounters with other SoA in his past as well e.g. he could still encounter the aggressor and be chased out later after Spectre was gone etc.

Tag Pearly! |D; Sorry it took so long.
PostPosted: Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:42 pm


Oh yeah, sorry, it's perfectly okay to go ahead and post in this thread!

Epine de Rose

Ooooh, that does sound interesting, and I do like the idea of them having maybe an extended relationship - I'd love for them to somehow meet again in the "present"! And I appreciate that you leave it open for Fjolnir to meet others. Fjol and Spectre could just reach that point where they feel they can manage without each other, and part as friends - a little sad but not painful nor hurtful, just the point in the road where you have to go separate ways. I can totally feel that.

Would you like to RP out their first meeting, as a start? I could start it, if you just give me the go-ahead. Or if you prefer just plotting it all out, tell me and I'll shoot you a PM.

Oh, hey! And yay! And tag back! mrgreen

If Fjol likes the God of Leadership is happy to be his friend and to help him rebuild, as well as have helped him survive that aweful night. Possibly came and went givben his duties. Prim is pretty gentle as far as my lot goes. (His own kind scare him, actually... X3)

Plus if asked maybe we could arrange it so he can help Fjolnir find others 5to help? Prim's wandering ATM so a positive is good for him.

Oooh no, RP is always good as it benefits everyone. We can totally RP all this out, I'd love to have the chance to RP Spectre's younger self for once. If you want to start then go for it! =D

That's totally awesome. But would it be okay with you if Prim took on the mentor-role instead? That way, Epine de Rose's Spectre can be the lion who finds and helps Fjolnir after the terrible night, but when Spectre leaves to go his own ways, Fjol soon gets kicked out of the jungle by someone (or someones - these could be NPCs if no one else wants to play that part) and will suddenly be very much in need of a friend again. Then Prim could find him and teach him a thing or two about responsibility - he would take on the "sensei"-role and help Fjolnir grow strong and determined enough to reconquer his home.

How does that sound to you?

Prim would be happy to mentor him. :3 He'd just be happy to help. (And hopefully not go 'YOU POOR GUY' and moosh him with pity/comfort. XD)

Bahahaha! It's funny because it's totally what I wish I could do to him, too. ^_^
Sweet. I'm looking forward to letting these two meet. Would you be okay with hanging back a little, to see if anyone else might be interested in playing the bad guy and/or be a comrade-in-arms, before we get started? I'd also like to see how things are turning out with Spectre, before I jump forward to our scenario.

Are you still looking for a villain? :3 I would love to toss my wily leopardess into this plot!

Hoalohanani is extremely religious and a tad eccentric. She will end up being an unintentional villain, if anything. After Fjolnir is properly settled with the help of the generous two males, he will encounter his first 'test' to protect his lands. Hoalohanani may venture into the jungle and remain civil with Fjolnir at first. But once they talk (and he may speak of what transpired here) my leopardess may deem him 'unfit' to care for such prime lands. Hoalohanani isn't taking the jungle out of selfishness, she just thinks it wouldn't be wise to leave it in 'incapable hands'.
Unknown to your character, when he will eventually defeat her... Hoalohanani will hand it over without vengeance. She is cruel in her practices, and they may seem out of the ordinary, but she isn't 'evil'.

I haven't been able to contact the owner of her brother yet, but I'll ask if her twin would be interested in helping to lay 'claim' on Fjolnir's jungle. It would make more sense if two leopards overpowered one lion, instead of one female. xD

Neat! Yes, you and your fanatic leopardess are more than welcome to kick young Fjolnir out of his house. It would be cool if she could get her twin to help out, but Fjol will be pretty young at the time, so she could possibly be able to take him alone.
I like it. He'll regain his lands when he is worthy, and the God of Leadership will make him worthy enough. That's pretty epic. ^_^

And an old friend to look for, some time in the future. Hey Fjol, things are shaping up nicely for ya!
PostPosted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 11:29 am


It's unfortunate, but my leopard's twin wont be joining us. :3 The owner is much too busy with her B/C shop and she doesn't think she'd provide timely RP responses. I could elude to the fact that Hoalohanani's brother is in the jungle with her, though. :3

That's cool, I understand. I'm sure we can make it work anyway. ^_^ Would you want me to start something right now, or are you okay with waiting a little, while I get a feel for Fjol's previous history with Spectre?
