I've been silently stalking the shop for quite some time now, though I've never posted nor entered in any sales. Why? Because I was pretty much too afraid to enter any of them. However after a bunch of friends telling me to enter this contest, I've decided I might as well try. And thus, this concept was born.
Please feel free to give me feedback on my concept. Be as harsh as you wish, it doesn't matter. Any type of feedback is loved.

 Forgotten's Name: Luciano (pronounced - loo-SEE-a-no) Kirr
Forgotten's Gender: Male
Forgotten's Appearance (Physical):Luciano is a short boy, with almost a plant like feel to him.
hair - His hair is of an earthy brown, with a strange green shine to it, as the locks wind down to his shoulders, in almost a vine like manner. The hair growing from this boy's head is more often then not, found greeasy and it seems to grow rapidly, once cut. There is no real shape to Luciano's hair, as it is simply a wild mess, sprouting out this way and that, pointing towards the sky or the ground. His hair much gives off the impression that he does not brush it, and it is simply reamining the way it had formed into while he slept. Almost as having 'bed head' or a 'bad hair day' every single moment of his life.
figure - Aside from being short, Luciano can be described as 'not the slimest boy around'. Though he is not chubby, nor fat, he is simply of a normal size. Upon taking a closer look at his hands and feet one would find there it is in these places, you could begin to call the boy chubby. His fingers seem to be a little thicker then normal and his toes are little chubby, stubby things. It almost seems as though all the weight that he should gain moves to his hands and feet. But it is not wise to go thinking that he has huge hands and feet, they are simply chubbier then a slim person's, and slightly stubbier then what they would look like upon a person that was not slim, nor fat, but happily in between. His skin is a rahter intersting colour, it seems to be somewhat of an off yellow, or a mix of very pale white/grey skin, with a slight yellow tint, his hands and feet (he does not usually wear shoes) however are faded into an almost soil like colour, as though he plays in the mud far too often.
eyes - His eyes are usually seen half closed, or half open depending on who you're speaking with. They are of a deep forest green in colour, and seem to retain little shine from light. His eye lashes are extreamly short and almost not visible at all.
clothes - The colour upon his clothes consit mostly of earthy tones, such as greens, browns, creams and even sometimes some whites. The clothes he is mostly found wearing are deep brown pants, very similar to the texture of jeans, a few tatters and tears upon the bottom as they are too long for his short legs. He wears a short light brown jacket, that's bottom almost makes it down to his waist, it from the looks of things, is his most treasured item as the fabric is worn and covered in mud stains from his consant need to be outdoors. The jacket it almost tight fitting, just appering ever so slightly loose. There is an 'X' of thick stiching upon the left side of the jacket, as it had once been torn there and was poorly sewed back together. Though the jacket is usually left open, there are small silver metal buttons upon it, should Luciano ever wish to button it shut. Underneath he wears a pale leaf green, long sleeved. loose fitting shirt. It too must be buttoned up to be shut, and is shut, unlike the jacket is. The buttons upon the shirt are of a perly white, and shimmer lavender in certain light.
Forgotten's Appearance (Traits): Luciano's outward actions show that he is almost an antisocial boy, prefering to spend his time away from others outdoors, then in the company of others. However such things are only what one would percieve at the first glance. He is rather shy, not speaking much to those that he does not know, and contains a high value of trust, that if broken it may almost never be regained. He is no where near antisocial, as he does enjoy the company of others and can be percieved as one that is 'always willing to talk', if of course he knows you well enough to get past the shy part of him. He can be very doubtful about things, and has to think every desicion though to the fullest, before making a desicion, from his obsession of choice.
Luciano is usually found planting flowers and, as such has somewhat of a 'green thumb', one would also find that he speaks with the plants time to time, as he himself finds it to be good for the plants and relaxing. Though he has a deep fear or hatered of fire, as he belives it to be a menance that destroies everything in its path, mainly his plants.
Forgotten's Personality: Luciano is a rather shy boy. Though perhaps shy is an understatement. He will speak little, if at all to someone he has just recently met, and it takes quite some time before he warms up to anyone. He remains this way even if he is around one he speaks a lot with and trust completly, if there is someone new around he seems to shy away, as though he is embaressed of something.
Trust is something he highly values and though it takes quite some time for him to completly trust someone, it is worth it. He shares his deepest secrets with those he trusts dearly and would not betray them for any reason what so ever, not even the life of a plant, though under such a circumstance he would take a while to make the choice, and the death of a plant would trouble him terribly. However if such trust is broken by one he trusts till the end, it would be quite hard to regain such things, as he does not trust again so likely. It is even possible that instead of a regain trust, that he would hold resentment, over what had happened that had broken the trust in the first place. And though with such resentment, he means no ill will to anyone, it is something he can not help, as he feels drawn to hold such things.
Though he is ually a calm, relaxed person, he does have his worries and tends to view every question and action as a choice. It is from a deep obsession within him that he ponders so much over choices, in how they will affect him and those around him. He prefers to choose one that will benifit all and leave no concequense, though at times he has no way to do such things, which upsets him from time to time.
When around his flowers and plants he is extreamly calm, finding that he acts more open towards those he does not know well, and is willing to speak more, as he also speaks with his plants. Though from time to time as he tends to his 'garden' he will seemingly zone out, lost in thought, or simply lost in the beauty he sees before him.
He is almost always willing to talk to another, that he knows well and enjoys giving advice when asked, even though his advice may not be the best.

 Daemon's Name: Majesty
Daemon's Species: Scorpion (yellowlegged creeping scorpion) / Weasel (long tailed weasel) cross [see concept sketches]
Daemon's Appearance (Physical): At frist glance, one would find that Majesty is a tiny thing, the size of a small enough creature to fit into your palm. Let it be known, however that once grown she will reach a size no larger then a house cat, infact much smaller then that, yet siltly larger then a common weasel. Her pelt would be seen as a deep almost chocolate like brown, her stomach fading to a lighter almost yellow/cream like shade. Her snout also seems to have such a fading effect, however instead of a lighter colour it fades to a deep black.
Appart from looking like a weasel there are a few major differences that should be noted, as one would not wish to get to close to this creature before noting such things. Her hind legs are that of a weasel's, however in place of fore legs are a pair of scorpion pincers. They are large enough to allow the creature to walk with, and certainly strong enough for such a task; however there is more that should be noted. Three pairs of little yellow like legs pertrude from her side, acting as more support for her weight and simply as more legs for her to manover with.
Upon the end of this creature's tail is not what one would expect to find. Instead of the fuzzy tail ending in a black tip, as a long tailed weasel's woud, the fur seems to spread out, revealing a little stinger upon the tail's tip. It is a blood red colour, almost appering black in some lights and bright red in others.
And her eyes. Her eyes are something to behold, as they are not of the tipical mamal's. They are rather large and apper almost insect like, yet it simply one large eye and not a sack of many. In colouration they apper black in colour, with a red tint, in the correct lighting of course.
Daemon's Appearance (Traits): This creature, of kinds comes off more like a scorpion then a weasel at all. She is very tempremental and is quick to stand her ground. If threatened enough she will bite, though such happenings are few and few between.
She seems to be quick to protect the child that she was found with, though she is even swifter to tell off the child then anything else.
Daemon's Personality: Majesty is a very temprimental creature, quick to attack the feet of anything that irritates her, including Luciano. Though it takes a long time for her to bite or sting anyone, as she does not get that irritated with someone so easily, she will still stand her ground and tends to leap at the feet of others, snarling and making rather loud bizard sounds. Though she does have her calm moments, they never seem to last long, as she is usually disturbed by one thing or another.
She is very quick to protect Luciano, just as quick as she is to tell the poor boy off. However when she is protecting someone, one would be carefull to go near as it is during these times that she does not think twice about biting and stinging. She is most certainly not a voice of reason, but there are times when she is one Luciano goes to advice for.

 Excerpt:"Very dark indeed is his majesty when he wants to be. When he was young, he made a choice, like a tree does when it decides to grow one way or the other. He grew large and green until he shadowed over the whole forest, but most of his branches are twisted.
So many hints! So many clues! Like a pebble that starts an avalanche, his fear shook loose more and more memories. Why had he given him a chest full of supplies and maps? Why had she run from him when they found that man's clone in the hospital? Because she knew! They all knew! His education and accomplishments were a sham. It didn't matter how intelligent he was. In the end the only thing that mattered was how strong his heart was.
And yet he wasn't -quite- sure.
What if he was wrong? What if the old man really loved him? He thought about the old man laying on a hospital bed, waiting for the one person who could bring him a glimpse of his youth. It was too creul! He curled up on the floor of the passage. He lay in a welter of fine dust that had drifted into this dark, secret space over the years. He felt like the inhabitant of an ancient tomb, an Egyptian pharoah or Chaldean king. The old man loved to talk about such things."
How does the excerpt affect the pair?: An odd way to be affected indeed. Luciano finds that he has a great love for plants, forest, trees etc. which could be linked back to the first part in the excerpt. It also should be said that he believes that choices play a large part in his life, as they do in everyone elses, but his obsession with such tends to go a little out of hand, as he wishes to make the perfect choices at all times, whitout concequense. After reading over the second part, Luciano fears that he, as it is said in the excerpt, is a clone. As to why he fears such things is not known, but there is word about a clone in the excerpt and thus, he believes that it must mean something, be it good or bad.
Twisted. This one word in the excerpt is most often used to describe Majesty, as she appers to be a twist of two creatures. Not simply that, but her personality is a bit of a twist, nice one moment, rabid the next. The final piece of the excerpt speaks of Egypt and it is believed that it is due to that, why there seems to be a some scorpion mixed into Majesty's form.
What does it reveal about..
.. their past?: Although it isn't sure if the mention of a clone is pertaining to Luciano or Majesty it is known that there was a 'clone' that Luciano had seen. He during the nights of storms seems to have flashes in his dreams of the last thing his mind remembers before his 'rebirth'. A man laying in a bed, he was slowly dying and Luciano could mearly sit and watch, unable to do anything. At times when he could take it no longer, he'd run into a cobblestone celler, tucked deep away in the basement, where he'd lay upon the dust ridden ground and cry, wishing for the gift of life. Much more isn't known about the excerpt and the past.
.. how they are now that they are "reborn" as a Forgotten? Luciano dispises the mention of a clone in the excerpt, beliving that he is a clone, a clone of a figure that was not the best kind of person. He contains an irational fear that someone will come for him, proving that he is indeed a clone, and thus will bring out a darker being in him, as he suspects his 'real' person to be like. He wishes more then anything that he will not be faced with a choice of meeting an old man in a hospital, as he does not want any of the excerpt to be true, though he masks these fears as well as he can.
Though he can not be sure if the clone mentioned in the excerpt was pertaining to him, or simply another, perhaps Majesty he can not help his fear. He also belives that a certain mention of maps in the excerpt means that he will be forced to in someway travel. Though he would not mind such things, as, as he traveled he would begin to learn more about the word and it's plants, though he knows he'd be faced with many choices along the way.
.. their future?: It is possible that in the far off future that Luciano will unlock bits and pieces of his memory, mainly pertaining to the 'clone' and a proper look back at his last memory of the man in the bed and the celler. Though discovering such things will take time, and he will be forced to search though nature, forces to explore places he would not wish to go. He will be faced with many difficult choices, and will have to realize that either way there will be concequenses.

 Powers, talents, special traits?:It only seems that Luciano contains one true calling. One talent and power. Which as one whould be able to tell right off the bat, has to do with plants.
For starters he contains a special talent with growing plants of anykind. A green thumb of sorts, as he never seems to allow anything to die around him, or simply under his care the plants can not die.
He is able to bend the direction the plants grown in, as well as the size they grow to. With enough focus he can control the roots and the entire plant, having them grow out and act like vines.
The last thing he is able to do is is give dying/dead plants a decent amount of life back, so that he can then nurture them back to a completly healthy state.
Majesty on the other hand has an odd power. She is able to create little balls of fog or shadow that seem to simply rotate around her body, doing nothing more, other then her fur becomes as dark as night when such things apper as though from nowhere. It is belived to be some kind of defense mecanisim, like an octopus and its ink. Once grown she will be able to manipulate the balls into clouds to shroud both herself and Luciano.
Other important qualities: Luciano oddly sports around an Irish accent, and it seems rather thick at times, so much so that his words jumble up togther making it hard for one to understand him. However majority of the time, he is quite easy to understand, if he is not whispering what he says, as he most often tends to do, as the flowers keep his mind not entierly here.
Due to sporting an Irish accent, he also tends to throw in Irish terms (slang) from time to time. For a list of his most used words, see last post.
Other important concept details: There is a huge back story for the whole 'clone' thing, however, for now I am keeping such things a secret.

 Concept Sketches:Basic design for Majesty...
It's true...If I erase that eye the sketch doesn't look so crappy.
Theme Song: This is Your Life - Switchfoot
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you've broken
Don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you've got now
Yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
This is your life are you who you want to be
This is your life are you who you want to be, yeah
This is your life, are you who you want to be, who you want to be yeah
This is your life, are you who you want to be (who you want to be)
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose
And you had everything to lose
