[Chia]

While you are strolling the streets one day, you pick up on some quiet foreign sounding music, barely loud enough to hear. Intrigued and curious as to where this is coming from, you attempt to follow it to the source, seemingly in vain; nothing appears to get you closer to it, despite having broken into a light running speed quite a while ago.
Yet you keep pushing, fueled on by the occasional jingling that can be made out from in front of you whenever you're about to call it quits.

It is well past the point of getting dark outside when you finally approach the figure that had been eluding you, always a step ahead. But it seems to have stopped for you, proudly standing in the dark, illuminating the surroundings with golden piercings adorning its body.
You inch closer, afraid whatever it is might disappear again, although it doesn't seem to be inclined to back up even a single step.

Suddenly you are standing right on front of it, barely an arm's reach away. Wrapping your mind around what you are seeing and hearing might be difficult, but this is definitely a deerssert, no matter how different it may look at first. There is music all around you, weaving itself into the air and wrapping both you and the creature into a cocoon of illusion, as you begin to wonder if this was really still your town or even country.

This is an impress me contest, although one thing you have to add is a song/music piece/melody that you think would follow this deerssert everywhere.

Deadline is on the 20th of april, giving you a little less than a month to finish your forms. Meg will help me judge this.

Good luck!

this face which earned a mother's fear and loathing
a mask, my first, unfeeling scrap of clothing
pity comes to late, turn around and face your fate!
an eternity of death!
before your life...
as a young child, erik was sold to a gypsy circus, where he
was hailed as 'the devil's child', 'the living death' and only
too many other demeaning and cruel names. this was
caused by his deformed face, which he had been born
with. he lived in the gypsy circus, trapped,
in his homeland of persia, until he was in his late teens.
helped by his one friend, erik escaped to france, though
unbeknown to him, the friend was brutally executed soon
afterwords. in france, erik was taken in by a girl of his
age, down into the depths of the grand opera house in
paris. he lived there for a very long while, soon falling
for a girl named christine, a chorus dancer. she did not
return the feelings, though, and instead married her
'childhood sweetheart', raoul. erik ran from the opera
house after this, and escaped - once again - to a nearby
forest. he lives there now, never meeting nor speaking
to any other deersserts, ever.
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

┏━━━s - o - n - g━━━━━━┓
though the music which follows
erik is made up of several tunes,
all from the phantom of the
opera soundtrack, the most
common tune surrounding him is
masquerade, the song of the
masque bal at the beginning of
act two.
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
┏━━━a - l - i - a - s━━━━━┓
due to the rarity of him being
seen, erik has earned himself the
nickname 'opera ghost' in all of
paris, and signs all of his (many)
letters with the initials o.g.
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
┏━━━f - a - m - e━━━━━━┓
despite his almost constant
attempts to stay hidden, erik is
a very well-known character,
amongst many communities and
cultures. a book has even been
written about him, and also a
musical, though neither of those
portrayals even come close to the
true, raw pain that erik feels
each and every day of his life.
to others (or the majority, at
least), he is not even known as
erik. he is, in fact, known as...
the phantom of the opera.
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

┏━━━t - r - a - i - t - s━━━━━━┓
at first sight, erik (or opera ghost, as
he is more commonly known) is a
violent, obsessive musician who will
do almost anything to get what he
wants, his way. upon closer inspection,
though, anyone who takes the time to
get to know this incredible deerssert
will find a lonely child, in need of
comfort, happiness, but most of all,
someone to love and to hold, someone
to care for and someone to care for him.
erik truly is a 'child of the wilderness',
having never known who his family was,
but he knew exactly why they didn't
want him. this causes erik to become
sour and bitter, antisocial and hateful,
his deformed face coming back to haunt
his mind every day. the perfect truth,
though, is that erik is... broken. all he
wants is freedom, a world with no more
night... but that world never came.
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
┏━━━q - u - o - t - e - s━━━━━━┓
who is that shape in the shadows?
whose is that face in the mask?
-christine daae-
open up your mind,
let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which you know
you cannot fight...

His song
(Try - Colbie Caillat on piano)

This form is finished.

You get closer to the strange music coming from a distance. It is beautiful piano music, like it is being played from a old record, and has glitches and spikes during the tune. Your walking pace starts to slow as you come closer to the sound, you breathing heavily, not knowing what you are about to see. A glow, a bright glow, which brightens up the dark night in the forest. You hide behind a tree, hoping that the thing doesn't detect you. You see it. It is a deerssert, a rather large one, playing music from somewhere. The deerssert mumbles something, and a squeak like voice mumbles back. Conversation? You are not sure. You inch forth wanting to get a closer look, but accidently step on a stick, making it crack. The deerssert heard you, and turned to see. "Finally you arrived." it said in a deep, gentle voice. "I have been waiting for you." he turns to you. "Come here. I won't harm you." You nod as you come forward, inch by inch, and you don't dare to run away. You stand in front of it in awe. "I have news for you." it said. "Listen carefully."

I tried
but not hard enough.
I tried
to save her.


I will try
even harder
to keep you here
forever...

~Name: Souta Yuki
~Nickname: Yuki
~Gender: biologically male
~Pronouns: they, their
~Birthday: unknown
~Zodiac: unknown
~Age: unknown
~Sexuality: asexual
~Dominate Personality Trait: gentle

~Personality in depth:
•gentle
Yuki makes themselves seem friendly and charmng in a way that most creatures who meet them enjoy their company. They speak in a deep, but calming and soothing voice, and let out good vibes to those who are afraid of them. Yuki has a strong will to protect anyone he needs to, and they understand that they need to gain trust. He trained himself to seem gentle other than angry and frightening.

•friendly
As already mentioned, Yuki is very gentle at all times, and they also are very friendly, especially to things that are smaller than them in size, and weaker than them in age and figure. They try to be as sweet as possible when first meeting someone, and they send good vibes when they talk in a friendly sort of way, saying compliments and telling tales in the most fun way possible, but also making Yuki feel happier about themselves then they did in the past.

•wise
Yuki is a very wise deerssert, and has much advice for travelers and victims they protect. They love to make others feel good about themselves and make them feel like they are worth something. They are often very calm and say quotes from famous individuals and ones by themselves. Every quote Yuki makes are made from a lot of thought, and the heart.

•patient
Sometimes Yuki works with very small victims and they have learned to be very patient with them. They can wait for hours to do things, and they are very good at working with the weaker victims, giving them time to learn and figure out what happens when Yuki is around them, though they enjoy being patient, and they feel this is their best trait.

•overprotective
Yuki is not very proud of this trait, but sometimes they can't help themselves but be overprotective in a way that can lead to dangerous things. Their whole life has been spent by trying to make others feel safe, and sometimes they can go to far. They put themselves in danger but most of all, they out their victims in great danger. Yuki regrets everything they have done to loose their past victim, and they don't plan on loosing their current one. you.

You look up at the deerssert, wanting to know what it has to tell you. Your bones shiver as you see the deerssert's tails moving in a rhythm that you don't understand. The music stopped, and you didn't notice at first, because of the confusion and the fear you had inside. "I am Souta Yuki." the deerssert said in a comforting voice. "I have come from the land of Xiolan, here to protect you." You are confused, as you have no idea what they talking about. You try to say words, though they don't come out right, and you stumble over your words. The deerssrt calmly nodded. "You are in grave danger. I must protect you, human, at any cost." the deerssert contnued. "I have failed this task once, and I don't intent to again. Just do as I say, and listen to my tale."

Growing up:
When Yuki was born they were destine to protect and serve. As a small child they grew more attached to things that they loved and cherished throughout their life. Their personality became overprotective, causing them to become slightly dangerous to the public, as they would threaten anyone who would come near their loved ones. They were kept away from other deer, as they were afraid Yuki would do something terrible to them. One day, a very tragic thing happened, consuming his whole family, and to this day, they still think it is their fault that their family was gone forever. They think this because they weren't allowed to protect them, and they think they let it happen. Yuki is now still overprotective of many things, but they make it a better than it was when they were a child.

Occupation:
Yuki's job is to protect as long as they live.
They are assigned someone who needs help more than anyone in the entire planet. There is no specific thing that they need help with, but they need help with their imaginations. Yuki is an imagination. They go in your head and make your life worth living, though sometimes it can fail...

"I had to save someone." South Yuki started. "I had to protect them, but I failed, and their lives were ruined, and by ruined I mean..." They stopped. You notice a tear running down their face. You put your hand on their head and start petting them, trying to encourage them to continue their tale. "I lost her, to a great battle with reality vs imagination. It was long and hard, until she couldn't handle it anymore, and she was gone forever." The deer took a deep breath as he finished. "I am here to protect your imagination. So, you should stay strong with me, and don't let reality take over." The deer put his hoof on your shoulder. "If you need me, imagine." The deer fades away, waving his hoof goodbye. You wave your hand as you listen to his song as he travels through your mind. You smile and say, "I will."

a somewhat brief introduction;;

Hello! I am osprey;;, and I'm pretty new to the deerssert community, not owning any as of now. I tend to stick around adoptable species because I suck at making designs for myself. I love to doodle things, but it always seems that when there's an impress me contest with art, my art ability just flies away. It's quite annoying. Anywho, time to get on with this beauty's form!
