[size=85]Rukami (Gulo Stantes) are a newly discovered species of bipedal mammals. Though they resemble wolves, they are actually more closely related to the mustelid family, which includes wolverines, otters, and badgers to name a few. Through natural selection, these rare animals evolved to incredible sizes and developed sentient brains along with opposable thumbs.

The white on this ones body are not markings, they are a powder put into it's fur, to look like a skull, teeth, and ribs. Up it's arms are old vines, one holds a ruby...

From the North to the South,
Ebudc into Khartoum,
From the deep sea of Clouds
To the island of the moon,
Carry me on the waves
To the lands I've never been,
Carry me on the waves
To the lands I've never seen.

Name;;
Psilocybic.

Name Meaning;;
Based on the psychedelic properties of psilocybin found in magic mushrooms.

Gender;;
Male.

Personality;;
Psilocybic is a secretive boy, though don't mistake it for shyness. He's simply anti social to the max, perhaps to the point of having social anxiety. He has been like this his whole life, no one made him this way, he simple doesn't like to be around other Rukami. He keeps to himself and his caves, secret places where only the gods and himself tread. In doing this he has seen many incredible things and made many discoveries, the largest of them being the "magical" properties of certain plants, such as green mosses for healing and stopping bleeding, and the mushrooms that make him see visions of the future.

Theme Song;;
"Orinoco Flow"by Enya. I'm not entirely sure why but I feel this song fits the shamanistic feel that I get from this character.

The precious gem;;
While he was rooting around for more materials for his alchemist like practices, he happened upon the beautiful red gem, and he decided to keep it, nestling it into the crook of the curled vines that weave up his upper arm. Rubies are believed to bring love, confidence, loyalty, and courage. It instills stamina, vitality and strength. It strengthens both the physical and emotional heart, and stimulates his basic need and instinct for survival. At the same time, the dust he covers himself in is to ward away predators and evil spirits.

How did this Rukami get a ruby
She is a bit of a kleptomaniac, drawn specifically to small objects - the shinier or more unique the better. Just about anything that catches her fancy tends to end up in her claws; feathers, beads, intact animal bones, scraps of fabric, etc. And so far, she has been able to keep from taking it from others directly - only nabbing the item if she notices it without an owner or purposefully scrapped. That is what happened with the ruby she was able to wrap up in her vines.

As was her usual, Aislynn was wandering around - both to keep herself exercised and to look for anything else to add to her collection. Not one to ever hold down a territory, or even look for a mate to settle with, she often found herself moving through great tracts of land. This time around, she had found herself in a patch of woods that lay near a small town-like village. This Rukami was knowledgeable enough about humans to know two things. One, that they would just as quickly kill her as study her; two, that they often had many interesting and appealing trinkets. Aislynn was wise enough not to wander close in the daylight hours when the humans would be awake. So she wandered the woods a distance from the village, biding her time until nightfall.

When the darkness came, it was near complete thanks to the presence of a slim crescent moon. She had stalked through the shadows cast by the vegetation and the houses. Only two things were in her mind. Stay quiet so as not to be detected and find where the humans tossed there 'trash' so as to look for anything worthwhile. However she didn't even get that far. As she was slinking between houses, a small object with the faintest of shimmers sat in a pool of water. As she scooped it up, Aislynn could see glimmers of red beneath a muddy coat. And with a satisfied growl, she had found a prize that was more than worthwhile.

So she returned to the den she had chosen for the short time in this current region. The object, unknown as to what it was, sat in her semi-curled paw as she settled down for rest that night. In the morning, safely away from the humans, Aislynn sniffed out a stream and sat to the task of cleaning her newest treasure. After much scrubbing and rinsing, her determination was rewarded by a sparkling-like-new red orb. Of course, she had no clue at first that it was a ruby. It was only after she took an interest in healing - through herbs and stones primarily - that she learned of its true identity and properties. Even if it hadn't been such a prize, she would have kept it. Now that she knows? Well, that's why it sits secured in the roots and vines along her forelegs.

Who she is
Aislynn is an interesting individual, sometimes seeming contradictory. While she doesn't like to steal from others, she has no trouble taking from them if she can come up with a plausible justification. This is thanks to her kleptomania tendencies, which used to be weaker impulses that have grown with her aging. She also doesn't like the idea of settling down, but also likes to keep to familiar areas; generally this consists of a forest or nook by a river or hilly country within woodlands. Aislynn is sociable and friendly but also can be highly aggressive, especially in regards to the things she collects.

Amageddon got the Ruby from the crown of a princess. He snuck into the kingdom and stole the Ruby while everyone slept, and barely got away.

Ok, so after deviating with myself this Rukami will go to Creature Feature. I really like the simple yet elegant dividers you used and a "alchemist" Rukami sounds really interesting, of course be careful if you choose to take that part of the character further. ;>

wolfpuppies your personality and story are well untwined and pretty creative~ for this I'll be throwing a runner up at you! Just pm me the gem of your choice to replace the ruby (can't be a red stone, sry).

[Tyrant001]

//wheezes
Thank you so much PK! I'll take good care of him. ^^

[wolfpuppies]

Congratulations! I had thought you would likely win, Creature Feature, with your idea - it's pretty cool and unique ^^

And thank you PurpleKakashi! I don't think I've ever won a runner up, so I feel very honored~ <D
