[He is beautiful; I would put him in my signature straight away C: Good job on him]
Username: Rated R
Kirin's name: Azrael [Israil in Islamic texts; Azrael in Jewish and Christian texts]
Gender: Male
Height: 13.0hh
Age: Roughly 15 years of age
Notes: Rare mutation

Personality: From his strawberry roan coat to his name, Azrael differs greatly from Gabriel. He is a relatively solitary kirin; enjoying only the company of the wind and darkness. He is sure to dismiss the thought of female kirins, as he finds no interest in them and only sees them as a setback. With a relatively sarcastic and pessimistic view of the world, Azrael can be intimidating to others. He dwells in the depths of the forest, steering away from male kirins because of their testosterone-filled idiocy which he does not care to join in. Instead he likes to be ever-present and be like an all-seer as though viewing the world from above.

Background: [wasn't part of form, but just had to] Named after the angel of death, Azrael lives up to his name. Born with a brother who was very social, Azrael decided at a young age to differ himself and make himself distinct. The crafty look in his eye was there from the start, and he began his young life hiding behind trees and under the cover of darkness. He was always a bit different from the other kirins, not only in his liking for solitude, but also in his way of thinking. Although he was young and pessimistic already, Azrael seemed to think wiser than his years.
Azrael grew older and remained more silent and quiet. He learned that he could do his part in the forest. Floating around doing silent good deeds for others, having to do with his name. He always appeared as an animal was letting out a dying wail. Azrael, living up to his name, would kindly close the animals eyes and somehow the animal would lull into a quiet death:painless and subtle. He continues to do so, and his brother and rest of his family have not seen him in ages, but have heard of his eerie and ominous appearances.

Story: Azrael woke up at the mist in the air, the chilliness about at 1 in the morning. He lurked between the trees, hiding behind their shadows and frames, clinging near the other kirin. He walked forward, noticing Gabriel sleeping soundly. His brother by blood, but in all other ways not. He dug his hoof into the ground by Gabriel's face, scratching an eerie 'A' into the ground beside him. He looked up, knowing the his brother would know what he meant. Walking away in his slow and creepy manner, Azrael went back into hiding in the forest.

Later in the day he heard the grunt of a kirin nearby, a sighing call. One containing pain and misery with notes a a nearby death. Suddenly before the kirin's desperate eyes, Azrael appeared like a omen. He snorted, looking over the dying kirin. He knew the reason; the sadness in its life was too great for the weak kirin. Taking in a breath, he exhaled through his nostrils, the kirin's eyes closing slowly and then reopening for a moment of great pain and panic. The kirin's body contorted and tensed for the split-second and then relaxed suddenly. Then a gust of extremely cold air blew through the forest, symbolizing the death of another kirin, aided by Azrael. Azrael felt he was doing good, as he made death a quick process with only a few seconds of pain.

By nightfall, Azrael had had his time in the day ominously appearing for flashes by alive kirins. He was real, but was so strange in his ways that some believed he was a hallucination. Azrael heard his last victim wailing from the edge of the woods. He rarely stepped outside the shadows of the trees. But this time, he did. The kirin was wounded, bleeding profusely from an abdominal injury. A chunk of the kirin's flesh lay decaying beside the kirin itself, a spear stuck through the stomach. Azrael breathed slowly, bringing the power of angels to his location. The kirin watched Azrael work his calm breathing and slowly closed his eyes, lulled by some sort of eerie music notes- a wrong chord here and there, creating a haunting atmosphere. Only the dying kirin could hear it. It was a rumor that a kirin would hear it when he was dying and Azrael was there. Suddenly, the kirin's eyes flew open in the twisted, sick pain and then he whispered, "Azrael" as his body deflating, the gust of wind strong as it blew the soul of the kirin out of the world. Azrael crept back into the forest, lurking again behind the trees to appear before his next victim.


EDIT 11/24/12: I suffered a drunk car accident with a friend [we were not the drunk ones] a few days ago, breaking my back and knee. I have lost my friend, and I dedicate this story/kirin to her. I love you, Kat, please always know that. I should have been the one dead, not you. I did try for you, I reached over but it was too late. R.I.P. Kat, you will always be in my heart.

Username:Dutchmen Stables
Kirin's name:Galizur (angel of secrets)
Gender: Male
Height: 13.0hh
Age:24(since he's Gabriel's twin) (Pick between 1-22)
Notes: Rare mutation

Personality:Unlike his twin brother, Galizur is often shy any coy towards others and tends to stray away from the other Kirins. Although he isn't outgoing, Galizur's kind-heartedness makes him a great listener and all of the Kirins trust him to behold their secrets.
Story:
It was a warm, beautiful morning in the forest, but something in the air hinted that today would be different...
Like usual, Galizur woke up to go watch the sunrise from a distant ledge as he listened to the harmonies of nature around him; his twin brother, Gabriel, had been laying sound asleep back in the clearing, passed out from a long night of flirting and having fun. Despite being twins, Gabriel and Galizur couldn’t be more different. From a young age Galizur found peace in the serenity and silence apart from the main herd, but his brother enjoyed the constant attention and companionship of other Kirins, and thus, Galizur was always the one to take care of their ailing mom. Over the years, he had formed a close bond with her, and she helped him become the mysterious, yet caring, Kirin that everyone turned to for help. After all, she had been the one to help him appreciate his ability to listen and protect other’s secrets.

“What a gorgeous morning…If only mom could see this!” he thought. After clearing his mind, Galizur headed back to the clearing to check up on his family. On the way back, he heard a faint sniffling sound, coming from the direction of the waters of life (a very sacred pond to all creatures of the forest) so he paused, wondering if he should go help the creature in need. However, Galizur couldn't believe his eyes-his mom was carefully placed next to the shore, staring at her paling reflection…

He had tried to prepare himself for this moment but nothing could hold back the sorrow of losing his mom. She had been the one who had taught Galizur everything, and he couldn’t bear the thought of losing her. What about Gabriel? Will he be able to handle the news? He lay down beside her, as a tear gently fell from his sparkling blue eyes. She looked up into his deep eyes and wiped the tear from his muzzle. Smile Galizur, she whispered, your eyes are so beautiful today. Any lucky lady Kirin would be grateful to look into those eyes everyday! Galizur couldn’t help but smile at his mother’s warmth and her longing of wanting to see Galizur in love, but his happiness was soon short-lived. Son, I have something to tell you…She whispered something in Galizur’s ear and a look of shock spread across his face. Could it be true? he thought immediately. He pulled away, trying to see the look on his mom’s face but she lightly rested her head on her hooves and closed her eyes, her breathing gently slowing to a stop.

Galizur had always kept everyone’s secrets, but he wasn’t sure about this one… All the way back he kept asking himself if he should tell Gabriel, but he couldn’t even ask his mother for advice. He had already lost his mom, and Galizur wasn’t sure if he would risk losing his brother, too.

sorry if it's hard to read, I'm not sure why, but it looks like the italics or indentions didn't seem to show up hope you like it though!

[.Ghost.]

Aw you guys, glad you still like the deer. ; ;
I've put that thread on a break until I figure out how to go on with it, leaning towards making a whole new thread for it along with perhaps changing the way of adopting. I'm not sure yet but we'll see. :u

Let's just leave it at that, the conversation doesn't really belong in this thread <D

Speaking of which, should I make a chat thread/room for CK so you guys can babble away all you want? Would help keeping this thread clean.
We should get the RP going too at some point, .sarcastic.cow. did an awesome job with it so I'd hate seeing it go to waste. ; ;


And Dutchmen, please refrain from double posting. c:
