Born in a humble community of farmers, Horatio once thought little of warriors or of fighting. His parents, and their parents before him, were all farmers, and so he too would become one when his time came. As the world changed around him, however, he found himself forced to fight to save his home. Years of turmoil within the kingdoms tore the world apart, and farming was left behind by the young kalon in exchange for a battle axe. As one of the strongest in his small village, he took it upon himself to fight on the front lines, and it wasn't long before the people around him began to call him "protector." He fought mercilessly in the war, and when the dust finally began to settle, he watched with the eyes of a hawk each new visitor to the town and each shadow in the far distance, sworn by himself to keep these lands that he had been born in safe, no matter the cost.

Soon his dream of becoming a farmer faded, the world around him no longer in need of such a kalon. What was needed was a hero- and though he would never call himself anything of the sort, he fit the role of protector quite well. He watched the streets at night and instructed the guards of their town, with watchtowers at each end of the city and other protectors stationed around the streets at all hours. The world was safe, thanks to him; and he would keep it that way, as long as he could.



───────────────────────────


The years flew by. Horatio found himself solely engrossed in his job, making sure that his friends, his family, and his fellow villagers safe. He was caught off guard when one morning he found a strange, formal letter sitting on the table within the guard's keep. His name adored the letter, the ink glittering like gold and the other side sealed with a wax stamp. As he picked up the parcel carefully, eyeing it suspiciously, he wracked his brain to think of a reason someone of such importance would write him. He could think of none.

He considered it a cruel joke, for a moment, but as he opened the letter and read through its contents he was, again, taken by surprise. The queen. She'd chosen to write him, for only the gods know what reason.



"Dearest Sir Horatio,

It has come to my attention that you have put forth great effort to keep the sub-kingdoms of Naturia from out of harm's grasp. I would like to humbly thank you, personally, for your outstanding service and care for the community. Though I am queen, I find little time to visit the smaller settlements, much as it pains me to leave them to their own bidding.

If you would please come to my castle, within three days' time, I would like to speak with you on other matters, as well as host a banquet in your honor. Feel free to bring guests, however please keep the amount reasonable. I await your arrival with eagerness.

Yours truly,

- 𝕰𝖑𝖔𝖜𝖞𝖓 𝕹𝖆𝖟𝖆𝖗𝖊𝖙𝖍 𝕿𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖎𝖙𝖞

“We can help each other, you know.” The druid smiled slyly at Nadia. He had come to her, to offer her... a proposal. Nadia pondered his words. Practically unlimited power. Only for helping subdue a few dryads. She turned her gaze to the druid he was watching her with intent eyes. Unlimited power. Nadia made her choice.

“Okay. I’ll help.” The druid grinned with satisfaction.

“Let’s get started then.”

“Monster.” The anguished cry of the dryad made Nadia laugh.

“A monster.” She mused. Nadia addressed the speaker. “No, not a monster. All I’m doing is surviving.” The dryad screamed in fury and rushed at Nadia. She laughed once more, and with a wave of her paw, the dryad was overwhelmed by the waves. Nadia watch with satisfaction as the dryad gasped for breath and scurried away to her tree.

Nadia surveyed the land around her. She stood in a submerged glade, in knee-deep water. Her river covered everything for miles around, water-logging the plants and trees.

Druids strode through the trees, taking overtaking the weakened dryads. Their trees were not made to live in this much liquid. And while they became weak, Nadia would grow stronger. She was a naiad and her power would only increase as the river spread.

She supposed her actions could be called cruel. Turning against her sisters, giving them over to the druids. But Nadia was doing what she must to thrive. A typical naiad merely existed in a pathetic little brook or a sluggish river. Not Nadia. She would be known for miles around as Nadia, the mistress of the forest, the lady of the waters.

|| Cooper ||

19 | male | ESTJ

(disregard the text below if it's considered past time, apologies!)

Cooper lives on a ranch just about three hours away from a big city. While he's unsure if he wants to actually live there, he is curious about city life and goes there a few times a month to sell his crops to the organic food market. The other rancher kalons that live in his area usually ask him to bring their wares to the city to sell as well, offering a cut of the profits. Cooper uses the money to help keep up his parent's ranch and saves some on the side in hopes to take classes at the University someday soon. He is a born leader with a healthy curiosity of the world and how it works.

???

Relatives/not relatives
Uncle/Adopted father—would be a kalon that I’m working on that I haven’t finished. Can be a bit absentminded/careless and incredibly not strict, basically allows anything to happen. Works as an aquarist, and their house would be either very close or connected to the aquarium—he currently lives with this kalon

Aunt/adopted mother?—doesn’t really talk to this kalon much

Adopted siblings: would be adopted parents’ kit(s)

Godfather: Ashiro

Other:
Muirgen: [She’s not a kit; she would be roughly the same age but she hasn’t been grown yet] They have met, both in modern AUs and the fantasy AU with the floating islands. They are not close friends, but she appears regularly at the aquarium, so they are aquainted.

Flare: He is a friend of Carmine’s uncle/adoptive father, and sometimes comes to visit, but he lives quite far away.

Nikolai possibly met

???

Modern AU is same as above

Modern fantasy: Most of the kalons in “Connections” are in this, so he would also appear in it, but doesn’t have a specific altered story for it. This AU incorporates [mostly subtle or rare] magic into everyday, modern life. A lot of magic is secretive/not well known, but it’s not as if it were “hidden” from the public or part of a different world. The effects of magic on society are subtle but far reaching.

This is a high fantasy world that takes place on floating islands of various sizes. It sort of has vibes/an atmosphere similar to certain video games such as Legend of Zelda series and similar. Kalons are able to traverse the world and get from island to island through flying ships, but no one has really been able to venture to the ground [if there is one] and return. Rafts can be used to get to very close islands and back, but will plummet from the sky if they get too far away. He is a mysterious [sometimes traveling] merchant that is very secretive to the outside world, his wares very greatly and some are of very questionable origin, definitely not running from the law.

[Please consider this form done even if some things aren’t filled out when the contest ends.]

res for cooper or dolores

[Potions-Master]

Dolores
I really love her back story and meaning of her name, so i would love to keep it as that!!



Explanation:
1st pic:
Dolores is just like a bird, trapped in a cage since young. Even though the door is wide open, giving her freedom and peace from the teachings ever since the Countess passed away(figure in the background walking away), she still has the mentality that she is trapped. She has the ability to fly away and follow her dreams, but she still feels constricted, set apart from the world. She allowed her past (being in an orphanage) to constraint her.

2nd pic:
Dolores as a human, always likes to be alone and finds comfort in nature, just like how a rose is beautiful but yet still has thorns, Dolores doesn’t exactly have a wonderful past either.


3rd pic:
Desamor is Spanish (just like her name) for lack of love and affection, which i found fitting for Dolores. She may have found care from her guardian, but once she passed on, Dolores was alone again. From the start, and now, Dolores always had a lack of love and affection.
The ocean in the background also represents how her hometown overlooks the ocean.

4th pic:
This is a blue jay, and it looks similar to how Dolores looks like. Blue jays are highly intelligent, and has complicated behaviours as well, like how the townsfolk can never seem to understand her fully.

Name: Halvard
Nicks: Hal, "Ram"
Gender: Male
Age: Young adult
Orientation: Bi
Occupation: Guardian of Seal Aries
Theme: ◘
Art: ◘
Moodboard: ◘

Not much of a sunshine and
happiness, Hal takes his job as
the protector of the Seal of Aries
really seriously. As the guardian
of the first seal of the twelve,
feels like he always needs to set
a proper example to whoever he
is with every time.
He's usually quiet and observing,
thinking before he'd do anything,
but his rigid personality makes it
hard for him to form connections.

His social skills are really bad. He's
snappy, he gets easily irritated
when around other kalons, and he
certainly prefers working alone.
It's also hard for him to open up.
But he's nothing less than hell-bent
on taking back and doing the job
he was specifically chosen to do.

Traders and travelers sometimes speak about a particular set of artifacts called "The Twelve Seals". Some say they grant wishes, others think they lead you to treasure, but some just dismiss them as fairytales. And those who went searching for them have never found any, despite their best efforts.

One night, a young kalon managed to find the real location of the first of the twelve seals. Never telling anyone, she carefully made her way through the harsh weather of the forest of Coldyarl and after an exhausting fight, she managed to trick the guardian and steal the artifact.

After he realized what had happened, Halvard set out to find the artifact.
Later during his journey, he encounters a bard called Kyros who, after Hal helps him, offers to help him out as well. But despite Hal saying declining his offer, Kyros just decided to stick around, to the guardian's dismay.
Thinking he's just a burden to him, Halvard tries his best to get away from him so he can search alone, but the bard somehow always manages to get back to him. Soon, though, Hal starts to realize that Kyros might just come in handy after all: spending years and years in a forest alone, far away from society didn't do anything good on his social skills.
