Welcome to Gaia! ::

'For some, autumn comes early, stays late through life where October follows September and November touches October and then instead of December and Christ's birth, there is no Bethlehem Star, no rejoicing, but September comes again and old October and so on down the years with no winter, spring, or revivifying summer. For these beings, fall is the ever normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth. In gusts they beetle-scurry, creep, thread, filter, motion, make all moons sullen, and surely cloud all clear-run waters. The spider-web hears them, trembles - breaks. Such are the autumn people. Beware of them.'

How does the excerpt affect the pair?: Bran and Abyss are Autumn people fighting against their nature. Bran ignores the call of sinners and weak people and the dark, black nature inherent to the Autumn people, holding the urges at bay with politeness and manners. Abyss shows more of her nature in both action and appearance, often playing those pranks and being mean-spirited about things. The tattoo markings are the only physical evidence to his being one of the Autumn people.

As they grow older, the struggle to suppress this nature will become more difficult. They subconsciously seek out 'sinners' and given the chance, incentive, and any moment of weakness in mind or soul, they will off the fear of others that they cause - or worse.

What does it reveal about..

.. their past?: It holds more as a warning to what they were, what they will become, should they fail to successfully resist the urges brought on by their nature.
.. how they are now that they are "reborn" as a Forgotten? Being reborn and in a new place with new people they have the chance to resist and fight against having a fate such as that. They believe they can walk their own path and are determined to never look back, to keep their eyes forward on the new days to be better people.
.. their future?: It stands as an ill Omen, a challenge for them to overcome. As they age the temptations only become stronger, it's up to them to keep the will to avoid the same fate.

Powers, talents, special traits?: Bran has the power to 'scent' out people with ill intent, those who could be considered 'sinners' as well as being able to tempt and urdge them into doing more of the same evil behaviour that first drew him. He derives a guilty sort of pleasure from finding these people.

I realize this could come dangerously close to godmodding but I have thought that out. If I intend to actually have him use his powers I'd contact the one I'm RPing with and ask permission for the suggestion to take affect. Also, since the others will know his power, they can freely chose when a casual phrase of his may carry some 'magical' weight and will cause them to act on it. It's just a nice opportunity for roleplay. Say he mentions something about taking a cookie before lunch, the RPer can chose if their FeeDee will be influenced or not.

Abyss can create illusions on herself, such as the one where she appears to change when you are not looking directly at her. It's nothing more showy than a trick of the light. She often uses this power to frighten people, her own guilty pleasure. She also tries to resist the urge to do such things, though isn't quite as good as resisting as Bran is. It's what he wants, though, and she tries her best.

Forgotten's Name: Bran
Forgotten's Gender: Male
Forgotten's Appearance (Physical): In body Bran is average, perhaps leaning a tiny bit on the chubby-baby-fat side as an infant. His skin is a medium tan with a very light smattering of scar tissue on both of his forearms. His hair is a very, very dark red that is often mistaken for black, worn short and messy. His eyes are both a light, honey coloured brown. As he grew older he'd grow a goatee, kept very trim and neat, and he'd be lean. Not bulging with muscles, but if he were to flex or take his shirt off they'd be visible enough to see.

Bran's taste of clothing runs to the loosely fitting and slightly dressy category in the colour range of white to black. He'd be more comfortable in a white button-down shirt and slacks than he would be in shorts and a t-shirt. His clothing is actually pretty plain, it's his trinkets that make them interesting. He loves collecting things, shiny, rusty, odd-shaped and anything other and making them into items to decorate his person with. He finds a comfort in wearing his accessories and they range anywhere from strings of beads tied to his belt loops, a home-made belt made of shoelaces, metal bracelets, and earrings to feathers and small stones tied to his shirt cuff buttons with leather. The more colour and flashy the item the more pleased he is with it. His favourite trinket is a rather large, polished black rock that is perfectly round. He prefers to carry this in a pocket, but as an infant or child he'd enjoy holding it in his hand where he can see it.

As soon as he begins to grow, from an infant to a toddler, dark tattoos begin to form on his arms in place of the scars, as though over-night. They are black and dark blue in colour and take on intricate, curved shapes... At first they are just small things, a single band around his forearms, that spread further and further each time until they are completely covering his arms up to just below his shoulders.

Forgotten's Appearance (Traits): Bran comes off as inquisitive, curious and polite. Not exactly with-held and shy, but not about to go running into the group to play with everyone either.

Forgotten's Personality: Bran is a curious person with a suppressed and hidden mischievous streak in him a mile long. He is extremely polite and well-mannered to everyone. If he encounters a bully or someone trying to harass him in any form he politely tries to discover why they are doing what they are to him. He's got a calm head on his shoulders and a mild manner with a good sense of humour. Occasionally some strange mood will hit him and he'll be off and running barefoot and shirtless down the street, pulling childish pranks and maybe even rarely picking a fight.

Even as a child he won't be much for physical affection via hugs and cuddling, unless it comes to Abyss. He loves her fiercely, of course the two are never apart (no FeeDee and Daemon are, right?), but these two are never out of physical contact with each other if they can help it. He often has to coax Abyss into trying new experiences and joining in the play of others.

As he grows he'll become more outgoing, drawn to people even, with the occasional bout of reclusiveness.
