Aukua #18 -- Winner!

Postby kittu » Sat Jun 21, 2014 10:21 am

Wʜᴀᴛs ᴀɴ Aᴜᴋᴜᴀ?
Ow-Koo-Ah
When simply looking over an Aukua, you'll see and adorable two eared creature with spiked tufts along its back and one of two types of tails (Bobbed or fish like).Their large and webbed paws allow them to swim and dig exceptionally well. On closer inspection you'll also find they collect small glowing gemstones, which are in turn tied onto a string around their neck. Each Aukua however only collects a single color of gems, each color representing a separate group or tribe of Aukua. These critters also never seem to have more than four colors on their pelts, however simple or extravagant the design is shown as. These mammals are born live, and feed on whatever they feel will satisfy them. Aukua are most often found near rivers or streams, or other bodies of water. When they leave their parents nest they venture out and find a new stream, then proceed to dig out a large den on the bank. They rarely create new homes once they have settled into their own.

Galakse (Ski for short, just a nickname his friends gave him as it's hard to pronounce his 'regular' name)

Image
Male

Image
Astronomy. Galakse loves stay up late at nights to watch the stars and to study them and the daily patterns they go through. He has tons of maps he has created carefully organized to keep track of which constellations can be seen and when. He has always taken an interest in this. Along with stars he also loves to study the moon and knows the cycles by heart.

Image
Any art below is by me
Image
Image

Image
Ski lives in Norway. His name is Norwegian. This is very fortunate for him, since where he lives he is able to see the Aurora Borealis and since he has such a strong fascination towards astronomy he will spend weeks at a time camping out near where he lives waiting for it to show up. He loves sharing his knowledge with others which classifies him as, well, a nerd. In school he'd get picked on often but he didn't mind, as long as he got to say what he wanted it didn't really bother him. He did have friends, which he still has now. He doesn't have a very amazing house, job, or much money for that matter but he does have a passion for something and that is enough to keep him happy. He has a very strong telescope that was a gift from one of his friends and uses it ever night. You've heard me talk about nights a lot, so you can probably figure that he's quite nocturnal. Astronomy isn't the only thing that Ski likes either. He loves writing as well, writing about of course, the stars and the like, but he also likes writing about characters that he has.

Image
Ski checked his notes. Yup! Tonight was the night! The night of the Aura Borealis! Ski ran out of his house, bursting with excitement. He grabbed his camera and his bag, filled with paper and crayons. He wanted to take many pictures and draw lots of pictures. He rand as fast as he could to the cliff side. It was right over the ocean, which was very calm tonight. The saltwater blew in his face, it felt great. He looked up, watching the sky. There weren't many trees, and being on a cliff it was a very clear view without many clouds in the sky. Suddenly the lights started appearing, Ski's excitement exploded and he gaped in amazement. He had seen the lights before, but ever time is different and it never ceases to amaze him. They lit up the sky, every colour you can imagine shinning before him. He started colouring on the page, trying to get the colours as close as possible to the real thing. His was no where near as amazing as the real thing but it was the memory that he'd remember from it. The lights started to fade as the sun started to come up. Ski went back to his house, and went to sleep. That was amazing was his last thought before he fell asleep.

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright
as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my
disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with
this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we
would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to
you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd
fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
P E R S O N A L I T Y
|:. Committed .:. Loyal .:. Courageous .:. Curious .:. Responsive .:. Distrusting .:. Accusing .:'|

C O M M I T T E D
Delilah is very committed. She has a go memory, and commits to and finishes what she is doing. She is not the kind of Aukua who will put something off, or forget about it. She usually does stuff right away, but also often refuses to accept any more tasks until she is done.
Delilah doesn't commit to things she knows she can't do.

L O Y A L
Delilah is very loyal. If you are your friend, she won't let you down, but that doesn't mean you should let her down, despite being loyal she'll cut you out of her life right away if you are not a good person.

C O U R A G E O U S
It is hard to put Delilah off. Delilah is very courageous, she will face many challenges and foes without fear. Though she is courageous, she isn't crazy though, she wouldn't walk strait into obvious death, unless she is protecting someone she would die for.

C U R I O U S
Curious, sometimes a little nosy, Delilah likes to know what's going on. Though she tries to figure things out herself, she will not hesitate to ask if she wants to know something that she can't put her paw on by just thinking it through.

S H O W - O F F
Muscular and agile, you'll soon know it. Delilah likes to show off.

R E S P O N S I V E
Delilah is very responsive, even when she is really into something, you can expect a immediate response to whatever you say or do.
Not many things can go unnoticed by Delilah, and you will likely know when she notices to, because of her responsiveness.

D I S T R U S T I N G
Delilah is very distrusting and suspicious until she gets to know you. She doesn't assume "For the best." If you were asking to borrow something, she'd assume your going to try to steal it, if you ask for some change, she assumes you don't even need it. She can be difficult to get past on first meeting. If your looking to make friends with her, don't push it the first meeting, she's always easier to talk to the second time.

A C C U S I N G
Going along with her distrusting trait, she is accusing. Unless she knows you well, she will accuse you of many things. Though she won't always say it out loud, many times she has suspected guests of stealing an item she can't seem to find at that moment.
If you slip up or make a mistake, Delilah can be very harsh on you, be warned.
Image
F A V O R I T E S
Delilah has a specific set of go-to favorites. If she doesn't have much time to think (or doesn't feel like thinking), she picks these things by default.

Image
    ✿Clothes
    In anthro, Delilah picks a white t-shirt with green stripes, and a pair of jeans. If it is colder, she wears her long sleeve coral pink shirt instead with the jeans, and if it is warmer, she switches the jeans out with beige shorts she wears with the t-shirt.
    In quad, she always wears her pink collar with a golden bell, except on special occasions.

    ✿Delilah's favorite type of food is soup, she loves to sip it, and always feels warm, cozy, and happy after sipping some hot soup.
    By default she chooses chicken flavored ramen noodles, she also loves chicken noodle and tomato soup though.

    ✿Shampoo
    Delilah always buys Aukua-B-Clean Coconut and Almond Scented Shampoo. She washes every morning and night, both quad and anthro, though when out camping overnight, she doesn't mind waiting to shower.

    ✿Color
    You may think her favorite color is coral pink, because of her collar, and long sleeve shirt for cold weather, but no, it is actually green like her eyes. She chooses coral pink by default, because she like how it color looks on her.

You may have noticed, Deililah isn't wearing her gems! Here's why:
When Delilah was a little girl, she found her third gem, and proudly tied it to her neck next to her first two. She then went to the neighbors house, and showed them her beautiful new gem, and after that, headed to her best friends house. After showing her friend the third gem to her friend, they decided to spend the afternoon together. They went to the park and had a picnic.
It was four o-clock, Delilah said goodbye to her friend and headed home for dinner, after dinner she went to her room to admire her four gems again, but where her third gem had been tied, a wrinkled string hung, no gem!
Now Delilah no longer wears her gems, she doesn't want to lose them, but instead keeps them in a red tinted glass container, on her dresser. She admires them every morning, but in public, you have to ask her what tribe she it in.
Delilah currently has nine gems, she has found most on her hiking trips, deep in the woods and away from water where Aukuas are uncommon.
Image
Image
H I K I N G
I've already told you her favorite activity is hiking, so let's go into a little more detail.
Delilah likes to spend time away from other Aukuas, since at home she can't get too little of them, friends and family are everywhere! Delilah never even brings close friends with her on her hikes.
When she ventures far away from her home by the river, she feels like she is in her own kingdom, no one can tell her what to do, and nothing more than a biting bug bothers her.
On her hikes, she finds favorite places to sit, popular trees for songbirds, nice climbing trees, beautiful views, and even some rivers that no Aukua's live at yet, where she can skip stones and catch fish.
She usually finds her gems in the mountains, but finds other pretty stones, leaves, feathers, and berries she collects, or just looks at. Scavenging for goods is something she often does on her hikes, and makes trades necklaces for other goods, like the red tinted glass box she keeps her gems in, back at home.
Delilah's favorite thing to find besides gems on her hikes, are birds that don't live near her home. She usually travels further than any other Aukuas that live by the river do, so feathers from those birds are considered more rare and beautiful, since they aren't seen sold from anyone but Delilah on necklaces, earrings, other jewelry, or just plain.
Delilah's biggest customer makes shawls, bandannas, headbands, and other fancy clothing, her feathers provide the Aukua with more colors for patterns and diversity in her designs, sometimes Delilah even catches and sells the birds whole, providing a meal and supplies.
Hiking is really the perfect thing for Delilah, not only a fun time to get away and enjoy herself, but a way she makes a living and can enjoy more style and comforts than other Aukuas.
Image

Note: the hiking section may make Delilah sound very wild, which clashes with her wearing a collar, human clothes in anthro, having a dresser and room, etc. Delilah and other Aukuas in her tribe by the river do live in small houses, and use oil lamps and have wooden furniture. They live in the forest but travel to human cities and make trades for other goods, like Delilah's cat collar for example. Aukua goods aren't very useful but Aukua jewelry is rare and beautiful in the human world, and treasured by them enough to sell better things like wooden planks, tools, and food.
