[corgie]

Kam on the archives you have me listed twice :P I own Bluejay ^^

[June Bug]

-fails- I was only looking for your current name when updating, lol~ I'll fix it. :)

[Nawee]

Smoke and Plum are gorgeous.
I'll have to work hard on my form. Though I really have a problem with coming with a story that isn't overly dramatic or sappy. That kind of irks me, because a happy story also seems uninteresting v.v

[Toadfoal]

Oh, my Mai! <3

Congratulations everyone!
I think I will reread the rules and things as well. I know I've made the mistake of being too 'out there' numerous times, so it could be helpful.

[June Bug]

I have the same problem Nawee. :C

Toad has a good idea~! Everyone, be sure to re-read the rules and info. I've updated and rewritten most of it so make sure you're all up-to-date before diving into your forms.
The form has also been tweaked. Make sure you add the new section if you're re-posting an older form. :)

With that said, the new round is now open~

[Tammanae]

And I do NOT bite! >8U

Goennec Pen #: 1
Name:
Haldis
[Scand., “Stone Spirit”]


How would you use him: [/size]

If I were able to list all of the ways I use my Goennecs now, to show how I'd use Haldis, I'd probably die before I got halfway through. I headmate with them, I draw them, I write them, I RP them, I dream about them... I don't think there's any (decent, socially acceptable) method of interacting with them that I don't do. Haldis would be no different than that - he would join my herd in the massive expanse of my imagination.
All I can say is… love at first sight. Haldis would be the perfect roguish Goey to keep Aussie on the tips of his hooves (and toes). Standing two inches taller than the Prince/Prime, I can just see the tension between the two, and the ego that Haldis could swim in. He would be the Gaston to Delacroix’s (very loose) Belle, though he will not really be after her – just the opening to Aussie that she can offer.

Define your Goennec:

Personality:

Egocentric. Haldis’s ego is the size of the universe, twice over. He has no sense of modesty, and his world revolves around him alone. As a result, he is also the most obnoxiously narcissistic git that has ever existed.
Easily Insulted. Haldis takes things personally. If anyone claims to be better than him at even the most minute things, he will find it a major offence and challenge them, making their life miserable as much as possible.
Lustful. Haldis does not lust after others the way most do. What he wants, his mind obsesses over until he is out of his mind, demanding whatever – or whoever – it may be. He will fight until the very bloody end, as long as he gets what he wants.
Prideful. Haldis is extremely proud of himself, from his appearance to his stance to his “stunning” personality. He sees no fault in himself, other than the thought that he might just be too good for anyone else to handle.
Rebellious. Haldis hates that he is not the leader of the herd. He rebels against authority at every turn, trying to show others that he is better than the herd’s laws.

Likes:

Himself. As with any narcissist, Haldis comes first in everything. He does not care about anyone else in the world, other than those that love him.
Ewes. Second to himself, ewes are Haldis’s favorite playthings. To him, they are lesser beings, but he enjoys their admiration all the same, as long as they love him completely and let him do whatever he wants without question.
Fighting. Haldis loves fighting, especially to prove himself or show that he’s better. He loses only to Aussie, Rannoch, and Secretariat – all of whom he hates challenging. Aussie is far too agile for him, Rannoch is stronger, and Secretariat isn’t above using his Plane-Swapping ability on him.
Wooing. Gaining more admirers is one of Haldis’s favorite things to do in his spare time. A casual (but awkward) flirt, it usually doesn’t take much for him to win someone over.
Large Harems. Having a large group of admirers, no matter how forced, makes Haldis’s day. It makes him feel that more manly than those that do not participate in the Siv, or do not have more than three or four ewes to call their own.

Dislikes:

Lazuli, Aussie and Kilaun. The Prime lineage that Lazuli began is the bane of Haldis’s existence. Because he was not ‘chosen’, he has to fight his way to Primacy – but that is no easy task when the Primes utilize a superior fighting method.
Critics. Haldis hates criticism. Absolutely hates it… and so he loathes anyone who criticizes him, further fuelling his need for revenge.
Wooing. As much as he loves getting admiration, Haldis hates having to work for the attention and affection of more stubborn ewes. He has been known to ridicule particularly hard-to-get ones, such as Cassiopoeia.
Mating. Haldis hates making “real” relationships. He doesn’t mind the whole physical bit, but the emotional ties that come with it could be done without. Relationships tie him down and make gaining more “fans” harder.
Zi. Haldis believes Zi is too loose with her body; the irony is that he is just as bad, if not worse. However, he does have several blank spots in his memory that may have been her fault….

Story:

Haldis was born the center of attention. He was the top kid among all of his peers before the little changeling Aussie arrived, and the large silver Co-Prime took him in. It was at that point that an obnoxiously popular little ram became a pit of boiling revenge and vanity, always trying to prove himself better than anyone else in an attempt to try and get that attention back. He truly despises Aussie for more than just being Prime, but being the one that took away the attention and captured his fans, leaving him in the dust.

As the kids grew, he challenged Aussie over and over, trying to regain ‘his’ spot in the herd. However, as time went on, Lazuli trained his little apprentice, and the smaller ram began using more and more of his body’s strength – agility – in their battles to counter Haldis’s strength and size. The battles, at one point, were a spectacle to see, but they soon became so common and the end result so predictable that no one hung around to watch Haldis’s defeat, other than those that were cheering for one or the other.

When he noticed this trend, Haldis was insulted. How could anyone not want to see the great hero try to defeat the intruder? The interloper? The alien? The idea was as foreign as Aussie himself. Haldis started warring with those that spoke ill of him, male and female alike. Males were often left with bruises and injuries after his strong, bareknuckle fighting turned to them. Females, on the other hand, were left with far worse, but most were too embarrassed or mollified to speak up against him.

As he grew, his vengeful personality settled into more of a boastful narcissism – his punishments toward the females that dared to criticize him changed from violent to a more determined form of playful flirting and wooing that usually ended with them becoming just another trophy groupie to add to his ‘collection’. Zi was one of the few that did not fall for this trick, especially because she used the same method on him – granted, he does not remember that particular excursion, but he has noticed the odd dissent in his little flock when his memory started up again. Of course, if he had noticed the youth of that year, he would have spotted one abandoned newborn that bore an odd resemblance to him, that he would not have remembered siring.

Upon Delacroix and Kilaun’s entrance into the herd, Haldis began bargaining with Katili to injure or kill the kid, all the while trying to claim the prize ewe as his own. It was his own brazen action that let to Aussie’s claim over her, leading to another humiliating defeat from Aussie’s quick hooves.

He decided that he’d still have her, though, just to break Aussie. No matter what.

Nothing could stop him.

Nothing.

---

Haldis stood at the Prime’s usual post, his dark tail swishing violently behind him, stirring the morning mist. He was, for once, alone; he had left his groupies as they slept, hoping to come back with the ultimate prize – Primacy. If he could just would the quick little beast, he’d have exactly what he needed….

Aha. There he was, walking with his makeshift family. Delacroix lead, her soft eyes admiring every little detail… she would be of no consequence. Kilaun was at her heels, a minor threat in the operation. He was learning from the Prime himself, yes, but surely, surely, he wasn’t good enough to wound the great Haldis.

And there. There he was, in all of his pathetic glory. Aussie watched the pair in front of him, his head lowered slightly, as if he were trying to hear them speak, but didn’t want to be involved in the conversation. The Prime was blinded by love and relationships. How could he take care of a herd?

“AUSSIE!” Haldis’s booming voice echoed in the still air, and he stamped his challenge on the smooth stone below him. No words were needed, really, as the pair had fought enough times to assume the positions each time they spotted one another. Haldis charged forward, just missing the Prime’s pale flank as he bounded out of the way.

Aussie, not to be outmatched by the surprise attack, used the trunk of a tree as leverage, ramming headlong into Haldis’s flanks.

The fight lasted only a few minutes, but it was long enough. Aussie, Delacroix and Kilaun continued on down the path, leaving Haldis to struggle to his feet once more and hobble off to lick his wounds. Maybe he’d even let one of his groupies do it for him.

That’d make them happy.

Goennec Pen #: 2
Name: Damia
Height: 2’2”
Age: 1.5

Why do you want this goennec?: I would love to own Damia because I can already imagine her and her interactions with Heiwa in my head. She would be a very good character to balance with Heiwa’s more peaceful mindset despite the fact they both have an internal struggle about their position in the herd.

How would you use this character?: I would love to use her as a member of the permanent herd Heiwa found at the end of his form. Having two goennecs would allow give me more potential for short stories and art.

Define your Goennec:

Personality:

Headstrong: Damia has a strong, almost unchallengeable will that often gets her into trouble with the prime, the prince, and even her fellow soldiers. She has a tendency to ignore orders if she thinks her ideas are better and is sometimes rewarded with success. Her herd members often see her as both clever and a nuisance, but the prime tends to turn a blind eye when she succeeds because of her age and need to learn from experience.

Recklessly Brave: Because of her strong will, Damia often finds herself in dangerous situations by refusing to back down. Her recklessness has gotten her a few scratches here and there, but she has yet to be in a situation that would get her killed for her recklessness. Some of her herdmates believe she has gets an adrenaline rush from close calls, others do not understand the concept.

Judgmental: Damia tends to judge others by their strength. She holds quite a bit of respect for the prince but thinks the prime is rather weak in terms of force even if he’s a good strategist. Heiwa drives her crazy because of his laid back, peaceful attitude and reluctance to fight. She often calls him out on his pacifism and gets either cryptic responses about his past or random talk about pictures in the clouds.

Impatient: Damia likes things to happen right then and there. She’s not one for what she considers long-winded discussion of what the herd should do. She’d rather act on impulse than wait for a decision to be made.

Ambitious: Damia has one goal in mind. She wants to be Prime of the herd. She thinks that she is the best candidate among her herdmates (despite her respect towards the prince) and rose to the challenge at an early age when she learned her herd didn’t allow does to lead. She works everyday to meet this goal and does not seem to realize being a prime takes both strength and strategic ability.


MAJOR WIP
