[Akami-chan]

Tall, lean frame, round ears, and bright eyes, Xholis are diurnal, hierarchal, and intelligent species that wield the forces of nature. Xholis are social animals that can be recognized into 2 different clans. The ones that hunt at dusk, and those that hunt at dawn. Their pelt reflects their environment as the Dusk hunters tend to have darker palette while the Dawn hunters are significantly lighter. Between those two clans, the species are once again split into more diverse and specialized packs. Fire, Earth and Water are the most common forces of nature that each Xholi wields. The gem they are born with determines their attribute, which is effected by the parent's gems. Every Xholi is given a role befitting their status in the pack, and the leader of the each pack is expected to keep the peace.

clan position & reason sentinel


timeless guardians. protecters of the pack. unmoving stone sentinels.
liars, all of them. in reality, sentinels were just a group of over-glorified guards, forever bound to their duties. a flashy name, and responsibilities, that was all there was. it was everything he didn't want

ignis dreamed of being a shaman, a healer who could help his pack. someone who could save other xholi.
ever since his parents died because the shaman wasn't there when they needed him most.
if he had been a healer, he could have saved them. he could have saved his friend too. he could have been happy with his position.
but in reality, ignis' path was filled with so many 'could haves' and 'ifs'.

ignis was a planner. [ emphasis on was ]
as a pup, he would help the shaman savant every day.
he knew more about healing then all the pups in his pack.
he knew that the shaman would must pick him as an apprentice.
he knew so much more..
but it was all for nothing, in the end.
because in the end, the shaman died of a disease he himself couldn't cure.
and only then did he realize how many responsibilities a shaman had.
turns out being the healer isn't so easy.

the other shaman was a different matter.
he was bossy, arrogant, and foolish. so maybe he was intelligent, but still a fool
and ignis hated him so very much.
[ the relation ship was mutual ]
even among a pack, there are hidden rivalries.

a friend of his father, who even though he meant well, crushed his dreams. and how the xholi did that in a single sentence he would never know.
"Give up your dream, you're not meant to become a shaman. Why not be a Gatherer, or maybe a Sentinel instead?"
even though they had been saying that ever since the old shaman died, he kept on going.
because that was the only thing he knew how to do
maybe that was the straw that broke the camel's back. maybe he had given up too long ago.

the result of his past, was a lost sentinel.
he was referred to as 'the living dead'
because as a sentinel, if you have nothing, no one to protect;
your job becomes a drudgery.
[ behind his back, they pass along quiet, sympathies never to be heard ]


ignis had been a fiery blaze, until fate reduced him to a mere flame.
all of his reasons for living were taken away

Name:
Talus

Meaning:
Of Greek mythological origins, means "mechanical man"

Gender:
Male

Clan Position and reason:
In short, Talus is a repairman, a mechanic. Born to the Moto pack, fiery magic and thick, grassy plains are in no way a good combination. A quick worker who loves the puzzles that come with building and fixing, Talus tends to get so focused in his work that it's as if he's mechanical himself, a robot going about the motions of whatever job he has in front of him. (Of course, Xholis don't know what a robot is, but can see how focused he gets.) Nursery roof catches ablaze thanks to a pup not understanding how their powers work quite yet? Talus is called in for repairs. Path at the entrance to the camp flooding with rainwater? Talus is given the task of developing and digging a tunnel system so it all drains. While his jobs most often revolve around repairs around the territory from mistakes involving fire, he's more than happy to toy with any tasks given to him. Fashioned to a daily routine of "Talus, do this" and "Talus, do that", he's well prepared for sporadic jobs and the all-too-fast destructive capabilities of fire. And perhaps he is too much like a machine, making a beeline from one task to the next, but it's never seemed to bother this sociable fellow. He's happy for the time he gets to spend with each and every Motian, getting a few moments between each task to converse with his fellow packmates before moving on to the next job.

His ranking within the pack is one of the few that does not frequently use fire. In the past, Talus tried to use his paws and teeth for fighting, for hunting, for scouting, but nothing clicked with him quite as well as it did when he used those same paws and teeth for fixing and helping rather than hurting. Sure, he'd be happy to fight alongside his pack if the need ever arises, but in this peacetime he's been welcomed in as a handyman to patch up whatever the fire harms.

[a note: so this adheres to Xholi canon, just know that he doesn't use any sort of tools, and doesn't do anything too complicated. his repairs are basic enough that they can be done only with his claws and teeth, and they use the natural materials in the Moto territory]

[yuketsu]

Name:
prometheus

Meaning:
according to greek mythology, he was the titan who gave the knowledge of fire to mankind.
the word itself is derived from the greek word 'prometheia', meaning "foresight, forethought."

Gender:
male

Clan Position and reason:
Just because I was good at it, in fact, excelled at it, didn't mean I enjoyed it. But because of my natural talent for hunting, I was thus chosen, pressured by my fellow packmates into that position. No, the lingering scent of prey in the forest did not arouse me like the others. It didn't contain the airy freedom of that of a scout, nor did it allow me to run freely past the endless undergrowth and thickets, and weave through branches and trees. As a hunter, I felt trapped, cornered, repeating the same cycles over and over again; hunt, trap, kill, hunt, trap, kill, hunt, trap, kill. Where was the freedom in this? It only seemed as if us hunters were prey bound, our noses trailing behind them by instinct. They, my fellow peers, told me I had much more potential as a hunter than a lowly scout, my previous position, though it was not how I imagined it was. I am an enslaved hunter, dreaming of the boundless scout.

[As a previous scout, he was pressured by peers into becoming a hunter, but despite his undeniable talent
as one, he still misses his past position as a scout. Sometimes, a small sacrifice is made in order for the greater
good of the pack.]

Liar, Liar

Liar, Liar
Can't be a hunter when you're a liar

Liar, Liar
No one listens to a lying scout.

Liar, Liar
There's none who want a liar's bounty.

Liar, Liar
Liars can't be teachers.

Liar, Liar
A liar can't heal any wounds.

Liar, Liar
You can't trust a liar to protect you.

Liar, Liar

They love the lies called stories.

Liar, Liar
Of monsters and love.

Liar, Liar
Lies of myths and morals.

Liar, Liar
Yes the children love a liar.

Liar, Liar
Even one whose never told a lie at all.

Explanation:

Takumi is a storyteller. When he was little he was branded with the title of liar and never managed to get rid of it, no matter what he tried to be, that title messed things up for him.

So he gave in and became the best liar he could be.

Most of what he does is tell stories to the pups, goodnight stories, stories to entertain them so their parents get a break, and they really love him. As he progressed in his story telling skills and the pups grew older he began to tell those same stories to apprentices to teach them lessons. Even some of the adults will sit and listen, or request he tell one when he happens to sit with them.

His power helps him with his stories, he uses his flame to illustrate his stories as he tells them. While his flames might not be large or strong, he has very precise control over them and can heat them up to display all sorts of colors.

[Grinsome]

Name:
Lyulf

Meaning:
Fire Wolf

Gender:
Male

Clan Position and reason(max 500 words):
Lyulf grew into a natural scout. He has always been very quick to notice differences and also very witty. Lyulf's pelt, full of multiple shades of brown, gives him advantages when it comes to hiding within the trees, brush, or grass. He could hide in any shadow and be practically invisible. His bright eyes are keen and quick, spotting anything that moves and being able to take in a large surrounding in a small amount of time. Not only are his eyes and pelt useful, but his nose is too. He was once told that he should be a hunter due to his great sense of smell. But hunting was not something he was interested him. He preferred wondering through the the forest on patrol, taking in the scenery and exploring all that he could. He's not particularly buff, but more long and lean, providing him with quick and agile traits. His speed helps to run back to the territory in a short amount of time when dangerous news is discovered. His agility allows him to twists through the forest, leaping over logs and rocks and dodging trees. Lyulf might not be strong like a fighter, or tactical like a hunter, but he is quick and witty, just like a scout.
