Happy 2021 to all! Big thank you for hanging out and being awesome for the first two-ish months of the site. It's been fun so far, looking forwards to a lot this year! If you haven't seen, after a delay, the last day of the advent can be claimed now (here). You have three choices for your last advent prize including a second chance at a creature pass. That's right we have creatures coming to Aesseldar now! Be sure to check the announcement for any rule clarifications if you're interested. Last big bit of news we do have our light layout "in the mist" ready to be used. There will still be tweaks and color changes coming in the next week or so by the fantastic dusk so don't be afraid if things look a little different.

Congratulations to Zay for winning the pride raffle with Runar! Welcome our new pride, Adamo Autumna! Don't forget to keep posting in the advent to claim your awesome prizes, and within the next few days you'll see some additional posts cropping up in the ooc areas. We'd love some feedback on the site and will be adding an area for feedback and suggestions. We will also be adding a thread to post all your open threads. Another fantastic surprise is that Koafox (some of you may know her as Miranda from other sites) has said we are welcome to use their table switcher plugin. As soon as I get the files we will be integrating that into the site for everyone to enjoy!

TWO news posts back to back my oh my stuff must be brewing! We wanted to let everyone know that the third pride slot has opened. Unlike the other slots we wanted to give everyone a chance to go for it as well, so we'll be raffling it! In order to enter the raffle please DM an admin or the Eoin account with your OOC and which character you'd like to enter the raffle with. The only requirement that has to be met is that the character must be 2 years of age or older (meaning that number of posts and feathers doesn't matter). So get your entries in, the more the merrier as we head into the new year! The other exciting news is that our neutral/lighter colored layout will be out by the end of the year, thanks to the lovely dusk!

Thank you so much everyone for a fantastic first month opening. We wanted to thank you all and let you know that we've decided to extend the grand opening bonuses for one more week, so you can bring in your first three characters free through 12/11! In other news our first contests have started and we couldn't be more excited! You may participate in the following, if you haven't already partaken: Advent Calendar, Superlatives, Advertising Contest, OTMs, and the Writing Contests. We'll be releasing another update soon with some super fun surprises, but some of Eoin's events have drawn to an end and it appears some new boards may start popping up! Expect to see more of Eoin, as well as some adjustment to the event threads, for some of the future boards as well!

With three new terrains open and a third pride staking a claim once more, our mischievous deity Eoin appears to be up to no good again. The quake that cracked open the mountain and closed it once more was felt around the lands, and three new terrains popped open. Tryphosa Shore now has an Atoll sub-board, and there is a Desert and a Rift board. Several more will be coming... but first Eoin will make an impression.

The rainforest trembles, as if fighting back against those who dare to occupy it. The lands of Aesseldar are still only half-tamed, unfettered and unwilling to give way to any aspiring King, any growing empire. And just as quick as King Barnabas came to lay claim to it did it begin to push back, forcing his fledgling pride out with an unforgiving downpour, and a bitter resentment of the creatures that dwell within. With one pride felled, it leaves the opportunity for another to rise from the ashes.

It happened on a hot, humid night. No one there to witness it. Somewhere, surely, it could be heard. The start of a crack. The sound vibrating from mountain top to valley dips. It was a long and dreadful noise. Somewhere in the mountains, somehow, one of the peaks had collapsed. An impassible tower of sharpened points- gone. Snow, with the hidden rocks from the destruction, slid down the slopes that were formed by ages. A wave of white forced outward to cover all below. At first it is still much too dangerous to traverse. But with time the new ground settles and with it comes- a pass. On the other side awaits a land untouched by the curious paws. The lands of Aesseldar have been revealved and somewhere down below three pridelands sit empty, awaiting for eager travelers to start staking their claims. Please refer to the grand opening announcement for information on how to claim a pride slot and fully customize it, since there are some grand opening bonuses or exceptions that are not referenced in the guidebook! We would also love to let everyone know that any official in-character news that gets posted in this "in-character" section of the layout is going to be considered common knowledge for any character in-game. Consider it like an in-character bulletin board! We will keep it updated with relevant and applicable information and hope it helps inspire your plots.

Spring Y11
With spring the clouds begin to disperse and the warmer weather begins and new life blooms. With new lands having been discovered there is a plethora of places for the lions to explore and yet somehow that mischievous site deity never seems to stop bringing the surprises, some of which include occasional inclement weathers. Temps varying between 45°-80°F (7°-27°C).

Appearance



ELAGANT MONSTER ~

~*~ Hunter is a male of considerable and noteworthy stature standing confidently at the apex of a athletic large build, one just shy of goliath. (3"11', 498lbs) His limbs are long and powerful lending a distinct grace to each stride and motion. His frame is wrapped in toned muscle, tail long and adding to an overall air of elegance. Sculpted aristocratic and slightly angular features compose his face and head. Hunter is graced with a powerful jaws, a slightly long muzzle and eyes a little upswept at the corners

A creature with a poured base coat of rich acorn, a warm and sumptuous caramel hue. Deeper, richer tones of hazelnut honey glaze his haunches, tail, along his spine, up the back of his rump, the sides of his neck and lower face, brushes his sides. Lastly this glaze coats each long limb in a sweet stocking up to just above the elbows and knees.

Almost as if to balance such sweet decadence each of his limbs is dipped in dark toasted hazelnut chocolate which coats his toes before gradually becoming lighter and sweeter as it climbs each limb. Hazelnut chocolate brushes up along the back of his hind limbs to where it joins the tail and a few inches along the tail. Hazelnut chocolate is also swirled into his coat in the form of faint stripes which climb each limb and up the shoulder and rump before spiraling along his tail to the tuft. A couple stripes also accent his cheeks.

Lightly toasted crème slides along his belly, slips up his throat and kisses his muzzle with cooling influence. The same crème slips beneath each eye as an accenting mark which causes the poison apple green and fire yellow orbs to stand out ever more. HIs eyes are framed by thick, long, black lashes. His lips are dark, almost...but not quite...covering longer than average canines which flash and gleam slightly when he speaks or smiles. Which he does often. A slight and amused afair more akin to the ghost of a smirk.

His mane is a blend of warm darkest chocolate and dark hazelnut tones with the tips soaked distinct blood red color as if freshly dipped in the substance. It is thick and silken. His tail tuft matches his mane in hue and texture.

Full body wise this coat is silken and just slightly on the plush side with a slight but noticeable sheen, he keeps it clean. His fur thickens just slightly further along the back of his haunches and along his belly, up his throat and along his cheeks. His claws are longer than average and black, they peak out from his mitts just slightly even when sheathed. There are a few scars, but none particularly disfiguring or noteworthy.

Personality

DANGEROUS, BUT NOT ABSENT CHARM.

Hunter is an intelligent high functioning, borderline sociopath. He feels the emotions of pride, anger, possessiveness, amusement and curiosity most strongly. Fear, guilt, and remorse are almost non existent. He has little little regard for others unless they earn a place as 'favored'. He is capable of staggering violence and cruelty. He is often honest...but contrarily can at times be deceptive without necessarily lying. Omitting information or manipulating emotions and situations to his liking.

Hunter views the word and those in it largely as potentials for amusement or a means to an end. He likes to play mind games, behaving according to whatever game he is presently playing for his own entertainment, seeking whatever end will most amuse or satisfy him. This means he can come off as charming, well mannered and warm if it suits his current wishes, while hiding behaviors and conduct that’s often anything but.

He does not bother to hide his predatory dangerous undertones, but nor does he allow others to see the extent of the elegant monster beneath. Hunter is a 'Vampire' in that he has a genetic and mental disorder that causes him to crave the sight, taste and smell of fresh blood. This draw can at times be extreme and provokes his already predatory nature to outright violence. He is also cabalistic to an extent, but not as much as he craves blood. His eyes are slightly sensitive to bright light and strong daylight can cause headaches, on the flip side he has exquisite night vision.

Extremely intelligent he can speak English and French fluently as well as some Romanian and Japanese. He has a near perfect memory and never forgets a slight or insult, vengeful in a calculating way if he does not punish one right away he will hold onto his anger as a slow burn and ensure suffering down the line if possible. He follows his own set of 'rules' for whatever reason, and this means he will not seriously harm family or anyone he considers 'favored' (friends ect). The exception to this would be if he were provoked enough to snap and become violent triggering his bloodlust. He is proud and dislikes being challenged, insulted or talked down to...such things are likely to result in violence.

While he does not feel emotions quite the same way others do, he is capable of becoming attached and fond of select individuals and can be a good ally to posses.

Romantically he is not inclined to physical displays of passion nor particularly interested in romance or sex. This is not to say he has no sex drive - just a rather low one. Any interest in physical intimacy would likely be triggered by not only already respecting his partner in some way but also the scent of blood or a good spar. This is because he feels emotions most strongly when his bloodlust his triggered or he is on the 'hunt' so to speak. He is far more inclined to show sexual or romantic interest in females, or those who present as female. However it is theoretically possible for him to form such an attachment to one who presents as male.

History


WHAT BETTER HISTORY, THAN A GOOD MYSTERY?

You are welcome to ask, but he is most likely to respond with only a slight smile.

The truth is he was born the second child and oldest son out of three children to loving if eccentric parents. He was...exceptional from the start. Looking so much like his deceased grandfather at birth that his mother named him in his honor.

This proved extremely appropriate as the older the child got the more he showed similar behavior and tendencies to his deceased grandfather. Due to the resemblance and similarities Hunter was raised on stories about his namesake, and for a time his parents were convinced the youth was possessed by his grandfather's ghost.

This is what his parents and siblings believed, and he was influenced by that belief cultivating traits he was told his grandfather posessed and drinking in the many stories told.

Just shy of a year of age, as his cub spots faded ghost stripping started to darken across his coat adding a visual differential from his Grandfather...and at that time he started to act a little less distant. It was said by those that knew him that at this point his grandfather's spirit had departed. And he was now free to develop as a separate soul. But the 'damage' from those early teachings was already done, he retained that eerie echoing behaver albeit with a few little twists of his own.

A bit after a year of age he broke away from his family and headed off to start a life of his own, which did not shock them as the youth had taken to longer and longer trips afield over the last month or so. It was not a bitter or angary break, he is still on good terms with them - they are just elsewhere. And he is here. After a year of traveling through various lands Hunter is eager to see what fascinating things lay ahead.
