. . . m y W E L C O M E . . .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -. . .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -. . . Here is my 'quest' thread... an entry for the concept contest. I've been lurking this shop since I first joined Gaia which was only a couple of months ago, literally, and when I saw that this was the last chance to get a Feedee, well, I couldn't stay a silent lurker any longer. So I have stepped out of my shadow and am now writing up my concept, bringing Risika and Change to life in words.
THE TIGER
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
By William Blake . . .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -. . .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -. . .

. . . t h e C O N C E P T . . .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -. . .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -. . . Forgotten's Name: Risika
Forgotten's Gender: Female
Daemon's Name: Change
Daemon's Species: Bengal Tiger
Forgotten's Appearance (Physical):
Golden eyed, Risika orignally has old gold hair but has placed tiger stripes, which would blend easily with Change's fur if she were to rest her head on his shoulder, into her layered hair in remembrance of her friend the tiger that had been killed, is worn in a pony tail with bangs too short framing her face, a stark contrast against her pale skin. She is usually found wearing a golden tank top with low ride black jeans, but only when she feels daring and confident. Any other time she is seen wearing a black top instead. She has small lips that curve up at one end in a mischevious sense whe she is wearing her golden top, but her elegantly small but straight nose gives her the appearance of an empress. She has a scar on her left arm, beginning from the center of throat, between the two collar bones, reaching to her upper left arm and she has sharp canines like a vampire.
Forgotten's Appearance (Traits):
The tiger-striped girl gives off a dark aura which causes people to shy away from her unconciously. They instinctively sense danger and a predator and so will avoid her no matter how friendly she comes off unless she is influencing them with her mind.
Just to an idea about how her clothing could change over time... doesn't need to be followed. Oh and I just kind of guessed on where the changes might occur, not exactly sure since not all the stages are officially listed for FeeDee.
Baby-Child: Black hoodie with a white rose on the back of it. Black basketball shorts and sneakers. First piercings with small hoop earrings.
Youth-Teenager: A large black long sleeved shirt with orange sleeves and baggy black jeans. Second piercings with studs and sneakers. Hair in pony tail
Young Adult: Fitted black tank top with low ride black jeans and sneakers. An ear cuff on her right ear and a small silver cross necklace. Hair in a half-tail.
Adult+: The above, but with a gold halter top and a loose black hoodie jacket. Hair down.
Daemon's Appearance (Physical):
Change is a missing a few stripes in various areas of his body from when Risika had placed stripes into her own hair. His eyes are a silver-blue from the lack of gold which now resides in Risika's own eyes.
Daemon's Appearance (Traits): A strange sight at first, Change intimidates those around him immediately because of what he is, a tiger. But soon others warm up to him quickly, preferring his company than that of his Forgotten.
Forgotten's Personality:
Quite the tomboy, Risika has an inability to turn down dares, she is always trying to prove herself no matter how small and pathetic. She is always out doing ridiculous stunts and getting into trouble, she has no self restraint when it comes down to physical activities, she absolutely enjoys them. The Forgotten is lively and active but she is far from being social. She prefers to spend her time with her Daemon watching the people around her in silence though when it comes to competition she will step of the shadows to show off. The tiger-striped girl doesn't have much care for who's toes she steps on as long as her point is made, she acts before thinking which results in several embaressing situations which she just shrugs off. The girl is confident and comes off as egocentric and such, but she knows her limits though that rarely stops her from recieving bruises and broken bones. Not all her quarrels are pointless, she is fiercely protective and possessive and is quick to defend verbally or physically. Risika also has a strange way of saying insults with a small which makes people double back after a minute to realize they had been insulted though she made it sound so kind. But please don't think that just because Risika will speak before thinking that she will tell falsehoods, she is a truthful little girl, so much she is considered blunt at times, and though she is saracastic she respects the few who have earned it.
Daemon's Personality:
Quite the opposite of his Forgotten, Change is the wise voice that Risika likes to ignore when she can. He is her only restraint from going to every bar or club there is and starting a brawl, but that does not mean that Change has no claws of his own. He is a tiger and is just as protective and possessive as any tiger would be. While most tigers prefer solitude, he doesn't mind company much to his Forgotten's disdain. He is always butting her at the knees when around company to go and introduce herself. The Daemon also knows that if he were to disappear then Risika would be destructive without pause she would bring everything and everyone down, he truly was her only restraint.
Excerpt:
"For three hundred years I have avoided him, refusing to fight. When I was human, I was controlled by my father and my church. Now Aubrey controls me, and I do not fight because I am afraid of the consequences. I might die, but that was never my real fear. I fear that if I start a fight, it will be proof that I am the monster I have tried for so long to pretend I am not.
... I am in far more destructive, reckless mood than ever... I have nothing to lose, and I want to change something. Destroy something."
How does the excerpt affect the pair?:
Aubrey, Risika's rival, killed her beloved tiger which caused the change in her nature and morals. He had stripped the last piece of her will she had against fighting him and because of what he had done, she no longer feared. Risika realized that she had nothing to lose, even if she died it would not matter since she had already died once when she was being turned into a vampire. This excerpt is the door to her confidence, vengence and understanding opening. Confidence in her own strength against her rival, who is part of her blood line but older and whom she believed to be strong. Vengence for she had believed that he had killed her twin brother and understanding that fighting would not bring out the true monster of being a vampire, it was the killing. Risika takes her stand and is about to show Aubrey, and herself, that she is much more.
What does it reveal about..
.. their past?:
This excerpt is a memory from the past. The memory that shows the tie between Change and Risika and how it was that she became to be who she is now. How she is different and how she will look at things in life.
.. how they are now that they are "reborn" as a Forgotten?
Risika and Change the words to heart, knowing in some way that it is a memory, something they should learn from. This does not transform Risika into a killer and a brawler, Change is the trigger in which the change within Risika's will to fight will be pulled. Change is her conscious and a wiser being she is, he is the dividing line of a peaceful-Risika and a destructive-Risika.
.. their future?: A warning that if Change were to die, Risika would let loose all Hell and avenge her Daemon without a second thought. She would truly become a monster, the monster she feared to be, without Change to reason or guide her.
Powers, talents, special traits?:
A hunter, she is physicall fit, stronger than humans and her senses are stronger than those of the average human. She has a mental ability to move about with a thought and influence others with a thought. Risika has the ability to take on the form of a tiger and can heal in matters of seconds so the girl will never look a day older than seventeen, the age at which had been turned before she was reborn.
Other important qualities:
A vampire reborn still has no reflection but a misty apparation. She does not crave blood or shy away from the sun though the noonday does hurt eyes. Silver does not harm her, infact she favors silver jewelry above all. Holy water does not bother her and neither do crosses in churches and she does not hide at the sight of garlic but she does not like it since her sense of smell is extrordinary.
Other important concept details:
She is almost purely based on the real Risika from the book, but it is a "what happened after?" Risika. This is how I imagine her to be after the book. This is who she is in my mind, well that is once the Feedee reaches the teenage/adult stage.. . .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -. . .- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -. . .
