Hello, welcome to our concept contest! In hopes of attracting new, active blood to the shop, Kira of Flames and Wolfs Heart have decided to host a contest to find a home for the third child from their recent breeding.
Contest Start: Now! Contest End: August 14, 2013 11:59PM EST
The baby up for grabs is this blue boy:
A Little Bit About This Baby: He is a 3rd generation Wilwarin pae (Angel and Fae hybrid), a hybrid can only be obtained through breeding. He's one of the first 3 Wilwarin to feature the new wings. This breeding is also unique because it is influenced by a wolf spirit, only obtained through a special event. And he is a triplet! He is also colored by the lovely Teigra.

Meet the Family
Father: Porter Personality:adventurous, outgoing, caring Porter's Story - Major Milestones and Plot Points Porter grew up knowing that he was not wanted by his mother, and while his father was a good father, there was still a part of Porter that needed a mother's attention. When he was not being used for Diona's purposes of dressing him up in frilly things or taking care of things around the home for her, he would often pretend that he was running away and that he would be in trouble for it. It gave him the feeling that she cared if he was there or not. When Porter was an adult, he quickly moved out of the home where he was raised in order to get away from the dark shadow his mother cast over his life. While looking for a home, he stumbled upon Pastela and started helping her pick up from the storm, she offered Porter a place to live which he accepted. When Porter returned home, he found his parents were divorced, and her mother had another child, not from his father. His mother handed the child off to him to raise, Porter accepted the responsibility so that his little brother would grow up in a loving home and have a better life than he. It wasn't long before Porter started to develop feelings for Pastela, since she was helping him raise his brother. However, it took a long time, and the help of Lannister, for those feelings to be admitted. Shortly after, Porter and Pastela decided to start a family. Their relationship is still new so there will be a lot to learn. Porter hopes to be a good parent, and is still trying to make up for what his childhood lacked, a loving home.
Mother: Pastela Personality:tender, warm, loving Pastela's Story - Major Milestones and Plot Points As a child, she was a very docile temperment, and her adopted older brother raised her with great love and care; traits she now passes forward. It is why she treats Lannister as if he were her own child, though she is reffered to as an Aunt, and why she opened her home to Porter when they had first met. Though perpetually in good humor, she is not without her own struggles.
Before Porter, there had been another Pae who she called her mate. Despite all their efforts, though, they were never able to have their own offspring and, with a turn of fate a massive storm hit the island and she lost him forever. This missfortune has made the blessings of the triplets into their home even more wonderful.
Brother: Remy (played by Wolfs Heart) The pink and purple boy on the right
Sister: Aurelia (played by Kira of Flames) The pink girl on the left
Uncle: Lannister (Included because he will be raised with Porter and Pastela's children) Personality: quiet, emphatic, loving Lannister's Story - Major Milestones and Plot Points Lannister was conceived by Diona and Hymnaios, the first known offspring of the god of weddings. However, Diona gave Lannister to one of his half-brothers, Porter, who raised him in the home of Pastela. Porter has shielded him from his mother and since Porter does not know who his father is, neither does Lannister, and so no one knows that he is a demi-god Lannister, from a young age became very skilled at picking up on the emotions of others. Also at a young age he had discovered a large white bird that he feels a strange connection to. He is very quiet and prefers to communicate without words, only using them when absolutely necessary. Lannister is still the typical playful young boy though, usually well-mannered, though he can get into mischief at times. Lannister very much enjoys physical contact.
List and describe at least two of each: +Positive personality traits: (virtues) Outgoing: He takes after his father, he loves making new friends and is open to socializing with them. He loves learning new things and is open to trying new things and helping a friend in need, but talking to them if they have an issue concerning them. Caring: He takes after his mother in aspect because he will openly try to help other pae through their problems and is very empathic towards them and will help them in any way he can. In some cases he can relate to them. +Negative personality traits: (flaws) Overprotective: He can be overprotective with his family and any of his friends that he is close to. He can also be overprotective of a loved one if he met one. In short he will reluctantly let any of his family and friends go off because he will worry about them. Annoying: He can be annoying at times especially when he it comes to letting his family go do their own thing. He will ask if they are okay about twice before letting the topic go and letting them go off. +Character's Fears: not being able to make his parents proud and not being able to do the best he can +Character's Goals: make his parents proud of him, meet someone nice so he can start his own family, reach his full potential +Characters Unique quality (optional): ----
How did you become interested in Fifth Age?: Through Tartara and mainly because the babies looked so cute and i love roleplaying. Did i mention i love the babies and they are so cute!!

Player Name: Menelie Link to Recent RP: Been doing some good solid story/drama here. Pae's Name: Noé (derived from Noah, meaning rest, comfort)
List and describe at least two of each: +Positive personality traits: Empathic: Noé easily picks up on the emotions of others, for better or for worse, and tends to absorb them. If he's around someone who's happy and positive, he'll be happy and positive right along with them. If he's with someone who's upset or angry, however, he'll absorb those emotions as well. This makes him understanding and caring, but also prone to mood swings. Confidential: Noé is the best at secret-keeping. Even through his fluctuating emotions, he always remember who's said what to him, and who knows what about everyone else. For him, secrets are sacred, and his lips are iron-clad when it comes to revealing sensitive information. +Negative personality traits: Flaky: Prone to mood swings as he is, Noé tends to do things on a whim. He has trouble committing to plans, and even when he does, he's likely to forget or to randomly decide not to show up. Of course he'll apologize profusely and give a solid reason why he can't make it, but chances are it'll happen more often than just due to chance. Loud/Raucous: Noé loves rough-and-tumble play, but sometimes doesn't know when enough is enough. He has roughly no indoor voice and this is likely to only get worse as he gets older. He's not good at being gentle, at least not physically, so I wouldn't trust him with pets/breakables/Pae who are smaller than him. He'd never hurt anyone or anything intentionally, he's just a little rough. +Character's Fears: That he'll be mediocre always. Being one of three triplets, Noé fears that he'll never do anything to stand apart from his brother and sister. +Character's Goals: To be the very best like no one ever was In the same vein, Noé wants to make something of himself, to strike out on his own. He'll have such fun being part of a triad as a child, but eventually he'll want and need independence. +Characters Unique quality: Poor table manners, possibly owing to the wolf influence.
How did you become interested in Fifth Age?: Secret Santa 06 I think. Maybe 05, I don't remember. xp

List and describe at least two of each: +Positive personality traits: (virtues) Protective: With the werewolf trait in his veins, he feels a close duty to his 'pack'. He'll position himself as the protector and provider to the family. Creativity: Combined with a sharp intelligence, Beo solves problems in a way others would find puzzling. Such as most pae would clean dishes but Beo simply would avoid using anything. Can't clean what isn't dirty. He thinks 'outside of the box', which sometimes leads to him saying peculiar or random things. +Negative personality traits: (flaws) Schizophrenia: Beo's 'out of the box' thinking is a side effect to the multiple voices in his head. It's how he can problem solve; the different personalities rattle off a plethora of solutions one pae could never think on just his/her own. He sometimes has crippling paranoia, and has trouble keeping on track with things. A conversation would be about trees and he'd start talking about how soft cats are. Cold: While his family means everything to him, the pain of other pae mean nothing to him. Right and wrong is often blurred, leaving him just as likely to help a bleeding pae as he would to abandon them. Most times its a chalk up to which voice convinces him. +Character's Fears: Pae figuring out his dark secret of Schizophrenia. He's afraid it would equate to 'help' in getting rid of his 'friends' or worse...alienation from his beloved family. +Character's Goals: To raise his twin siblings into adulthood and contribute in every way possible to his family. +Characters Unique quality (optional): Unfortunately for Beo, he'd also have a hint of OCD to him. His room will be full of odd DIY fixes, like a stick propping up a fallen beam. But it'll be neat as a pin. Organized chaos.
How did you become interested in Fifth Age?: Ru (evilsilverdragon) gifted me Raken when he was just a little box crying He was so cute back then!

Player Name: Lady Yukaharu Link to Recent RP: Shadow Puppets, Anyone? (this is from La Luna as I do not have an FA rp yet) Pae's Name: Gawain
List and describe at least two of each: +Positive personality traits: (virtues) Leader: Gawain takes charge and takes the lead easily. Others naturally look up to him and turn to him for leadership. He is good to turn to if decisions need to be made and has fairly sound judgement.
Protective: It goes hand in hand with his leadership trait. Gawain sees those that he is leading as those who is should keep an eye out for. He stands up for others when they are being bullied or harassed or given a hard time. Equality and fairness are important to him. He will go to great lengths to keep someone he cares for safe.
+Negative personality traits: (flaws) Overbearing: Sometimes when Gawain gets protective of someone, he carries it far too far. He has the tendency to worry about them and smother them at times. Sure he can step back if he's made aware of this, however more likely than not, he is unaware of being like this.
Guarded: While being protective and a good leader, Gawain often keeps his own feelings and thoughts close off from others. He doesn't like others prying into his personal life and also doesn't want those he lets in to worry about him. He's afraid of getting hurt as well and thinks that keeping his emotions and personal issues to himself is the best way to avoid that.
+Character's Fears: Losing those he cares about. Gawain prides himself on being able to protect those who need him, so one of his biggest fears is letting someone down of not being able to protect them in some way. +Character's Goals: Gawain wants to become someone that everyone knows they can rely on. +Characters Unique quality (optional): Gawain will have stacks and stacks of books around his room. It seems to be an utter mess of paper and binding, however he knows exactly what and where each of the tomes is and could tell you summaries on every single one of them as well as quote a line from most.
How did you become interested in Fifth Age?: Many of my friends that I rp with in other settings have been talking to me about Fifth Age and got me really interested. One of them suggested that I enter the contest so here I am! <3

Player Name: o0_Daisuke_0o Link to Recent RP: Another One? Pae's Name: Abel (derived from Hebrew הָבֶל (havel) meaning "breath")
List and describe at least two of each: +Positive personality traits: (virtues) _____Sensuous: He has a very strong connection to each of his five senses and uses these as the primary intensive when making a decision. Because of this, he can enjoy the little pleasures of life others may miss: the gentle caress of a summer's breeze, the melodious call of a songbird, the particular sweetness of a fruit ripened to just the perfect point. it also means that he often prefers to engage others in a way that stimulates these feelings, such as with a friendly hug or a howling hello.
_____Loyal: Not that it's honestly a difficult thing to earn, but once he befriends someone it would take a cruel abuse on their part to turn his actions against them. He is willing to risk life and limb to protect his family and friends, or even to keep the hardest secret if that is what they ask him to do. Lying to one of these people would never cross his mind.
_____Athletic: Whether it be climbing a tree, running through the fields, or swimming across a pond, feats of athletic ability just seem to come naturally for him. I wouldn't go as far to say that he's necessarily the best at anything, or ever would be, but he does posses a certain knack to adapt to any trial given to him. +Negative personality traits: (flaws) _____Impulsive: The moment something comes on his mind, he gets an idea or a craving or whatnot, he must address it. Immediately. Otherwise, a new idea may take its place, which is not uncommon. This leaves him little time to think out the results that his actions, or words, may have, leaving him more likely to hurt himself or others.
_____Inattentive: Just when you thought you had his full attention... "SQUIRREL!" ...there it goes in but an instant. He likes to busy himself with things constantly, rarely finishing what he started before moving to the next problem. Some might call it ADHD, others a short-attention span, but, regardless, it's going to take some patience on the other party to keep him focused on one thing.
_____Dim-witted: I thought that putting "dumb" here felt a bit harsh, but he is certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed, so to speak. More complicated ideas and skills confuse him, and confusion leaves him frustrated with himself and others, leaving him more likely to lash out. It's not that he lacks common sense, just the ability to think in technical terms. +Character's Fears: He has no fears! This could honestly get him into quite a bit of trouble, given his other personality traits, but it would take something fairly severe to frighten him. He does, however, not want others to think he's stupid. +Character's Goals: To climb that tree...! No, to catch that bug...! No, to sneak up on his brother...! No, to eat...! His goals are ever-changing with his minute-to-minute priorities. One thing that will always be his goal, however, is to make his special people (family and friends) feel special and cared for. Always. +Characters Unique quality (optional): I feel like he will have a knack for bringing things (birds, bugs, rocks, flowers, ex) home and hiding them in his room. Unsuccessfully, might I add, since he's likely to admit to it the moment he's asked.
How did you become interested in Fifth Age?: Umi (or Kira? I forget) made me come check it out during the pony event. razz

Even though I'm never on, it's blue... My weakness whee
Player Name: daemongabrielle Link to Recent RP: [x][x] Pae's Name: Niklas
List and describe at least two of each: +Positive personality traits: (virtues)
Courage/Risk Taker Growing up in a house with so many kids, Niklas is the one that got the courage gene. When someone screws something up, Niklas will step up and take the blame. When there is a strange bug and everybody wants to know what it does? Niklas will grab the stick and poke it. Meet a stranger? Niklas says "Hi! Who are you?" Niklas's courage will probably get him in trouble at times but he's willing to take the chance.
Brains Niklas got the brains of the outfit, so to speak. He figures up large equations with ease. He solves problems with the grease he made using tree bark and essential oils. He can easily deduce where you've been by a small stain on the back of your leg. Oh yes, Niklas is smart. +Negative personality traits: (flaws)
Lack of Common Sense With all that brains comes a lack of understanding that other people don't quite think the way he does. It also means he gets in trouble easier than others due to his pragmatic problem solving. Ex: "But mom, the dog was SUPPOSED to scare the cat. That's why they were both in the bathroom." He's like Holmes. Yes, he can tell you why that happened but he can't really explain why that makes you so uncomfortable.
Low Self Esteem Again, growing up in a house with so many kids, he tends to doubt himself. It doesn't hurt that he is different, so to speak, with his mighty brain. His lack of understanding other people and simple things also leads him to doubt his skills and self worth. If he weren't so smart, would other pae drag their babies away as though his ackwardness were contagious? +Character's Fears: That he'll never fit in. +Character's Goals: To be "normal". Yes he's smart. But if he can't make friends, what's the point of all his knowledge? +Characters Unique quality (optional):
How did you become interested in Fifth Age?: Pirate event. Waaay back before I even had kids.

Player Name: Liquid Kitsune Link to Recent RP: [x][x][x] Pae's Name: Kibarel
List and describe at least two of each: +Positive personality traits: (virtues) Honest: Growing up with Porter and Pastela had taught him that being honest was a requirement when dealing with people. If you lied it just tended to cause more trouble that the truth would have at first. Others always seemed to catch each other in a lie so it would just be best to be straight at first.
Loyal: Due to his nature, if he meets someone he gets along well with and who he understands, he will always be there friend unless something major happens. What matters to him is that this person had proven themselves to him and he would trust them. If they do something wrong, they must have had a reason he doesn't know.
Warden: Partially because he is so loyal and doesn't want to lose a friend, he is very protective of those close to him. He tends to think of himself as a guardian for those around him. He is always vigilante looking for trouble and those that would hurt them or him.
+Negative personality traits: (flaws) Selfish: Growing up watching and learning from Porter and Pastela had shown him that its good to give of yourself to help others. Though intellectually he just couldn't understand how they could give so much of themselves. If you gives all that you have you have nothing for yourself. So its best to first take care of yourself and then if there is anything left over you can help others. His priority is first himself and then others because if he doesn't have anything or isn't in good health he cannot be helpful to others.
Stoic: As he grew up others had noticed that he didn't really laugh or cry or even get angry. His face was always a calm mask over whatever he was thinking and feeling. Even when he got hurt or someone would tell a really funny joke or even make fun of him, his family, his friends and try to hurt him. He never really showed his emotions, it was rare to get anything except the smallest display of emotion.
Unsympathetic: His stoic nature is in part due to his lack of empathy for others. He didn't understand how others reacted so over the top when it came to their emotions. He didn't feel the same things apparently that everyone else felt. If someone got hurt, he never understood why they would cry so much or complain. It did nothing to help the pain or make it heal faster. The same was for other incidents throughout his life, something would happen, people would react and he would sit there unmoved and unsure why everyone else was emotional.
+Character's Fears: He doesn't fear much but he is slightly worried that something isn't right with him. Why can't he be like other people and if he is broken and then "fixed" he is slightly scared of being like everyone else. He doesn't understand them well and doesn't know if he really wants to become like them. Other than that he is only worried about losing his friends and family. +Character's Goals: To protect those close to him, to be strong enough that he no harm may come to them and to make sure they all have more than enough to survive comfortably and happily. +Characters Unique quality (optional): He is an optimistic pessimist. He expects the worse but hopes for the best, he also really gets along well with the animals on the island. For some reason, they seem to understand one another and he will be very patient and gentle with many of the different species.
