[Akami-chan]

Tall, lean frame, round ears, and bright eyes, Xholis are diurnal, hierarchal, and intelligent species that wield the forces of nature. Xholis are social animals that can be recognized into 2 different clans. The ones that hunt at dusk, and those that hunt at dawn. Their pelt reflects their environment as the Dusk hunters tend to have darker palette while the Dawn hunters are significantly lighter. Between those two clans, the species are once again split into more diverse and specialized packs. Fire, Earth and Water are the most common forces of nature that each Xholi wields. The gem they are born with determines their attribute, which is effected by the parent's gems. Every Xholi is given a role befitting their status in the pack, and the leader of the each pack is expected to keep the peace.

Name:
Aiday (Moon Child)

Haiku:
I'm not sorry friend
You're the one who broke the rules
The rules must come first


Personality:
There is no one that values rules as much as Aiday does. To many, the customs are more like guidelines, sure they're important, some more so than other, but nobody takes them as seriously as she does. For her, the rules aren't something you can bend or break, they have to be followed. There's no way around it, they have to be followed.

You see, Aiday was not born in the Maji pack, she was born to the dawn Motos. As per the customs and by her parent's choice, she was immediately transferred to the Maji pack, to be placed with the other pups. She was raised as an equal, she wasn't looked down upon for being born to another pack, but it didn't change how unfair she felt the rules were. It was never explained to her that she would be better off here, that it was for her own good. No one ever thought she needed it explained since she always seemed so happy. But one night, while everyone was sleeping, she tried to sneak back home. Aiday got all the way to the border, she thought her parents would be overjoyed, that she must have been forcefully stolen from them.

When she found out that they had given her up willingly, that they were fine with abiding by the customs and that they returned her to the Maji pack, it broke some part of her. Those rules she had seen as silly before were suddenly all important. If her parents really held the rules over her, surely she must do the same.

Normally she's actually really sweet, she's got plenty of friends and she never minds giving someone else a hand, but the moment a rule becomes involved it's like she's another person. There's no way around it, once a rule becomes involved it must be followed with no exceptions for anyone, regardless of who they are or were to her. Even when what the other xholi is trying to do is smarter, she won't budge and will go so far as to cause harm to others to stop them from breaking the rules.

Rules come before everything else, it was the only lesson she ever learned from her parents.

Naira
means "big eyes"

determined - curious - innovative

Everyone knows Naira as the "inventor". She is always coming up
with ideas and tries her hardest to make those ideas realities. Unfortunately, she has to keep the majority of her inventions from the other Xholis, as they tend to stray from the traditional ways and earn her disapproving looks from the elders of her clan. Her two younger brothers, however, share in her delight whenever she creates something new. Naira is also very inquisitive. She likes to know how things work and where they come from, and you will constantly see her poking at a bug or observing a flying creature.

Name:
Taiga

|tie•gah|
A biome of sometimes swampy coniferous forest of high northern latitude, most commonly referring to that between the tundra and steppes of Siberia and North America.

Haiku:

Blue eyes and blue gems
Snow dusts dirt and russet fur
The hunter of dawn

Personality:

When Taiga was young, they were a typical playful child, and clung to their trickster-like ways well into young adulthood. It seemed for a while like they would never truly grow up to take a proper role in the pack, not that that seemed to bother them. It was only when their playfulness got out of hand and led to a prank gone wrong that nearly cost them their life that Taiga seemed to wake up to their childish ways. They had been messing around trying to control the water from a nearby waterfall in order to soak several adults of the pack, but the force of the water was far too strong for the weak-willed young adult, and they were nearly swept off the cliff by the waterfall. It was only the quick thinking of the adults they had been trying to prank that saved their life.
The near-death experience changed their personality altogether, though it was so abrupt that they seemed to settle with rather a great deal of negative traits.

Taiga is very blunt, not often considering what others think of matters before giving their own opinion, even despite generally being very sympathetic. They are ambitious, observant and very curious, always striving to do better and reach higher places, good traits in a hunter, but are held back by their fear of taking risks after their accident, and truly altruistic nature. A hunter who does not eat much, they prefer to make sure the pack are fed before hunting for themselves.

Taiga is ruled by their emotions rather than logic, not that anyone would know seeing as they have a very high level of self control and use this to mask anything they think makes them appear weak. They also have a tendency to lie about most unimportant things, being very pessimistic in outlook but not wanting to bring others down with them. They are very affectionate towards those they like, despite not being at all flirty or romantic.
Their main dislikes are being around children and using their powers. Afraid of water since the incident with the waterfall, the most they use their ability for now is cooling themselves off whilst hunting in warm climates. Another young adult of the pack has attempted to slowly coax them back into learning again, but it will take a long time and a lot of sweet-talking to bring them round. Luckily for the others, Taiga is very trusting, almost to the point of naïvety.

Name: Jay
Haiku:
Away in the sky
The Jay Flies, through a new sky
Up so high, jay flies

Away in the sky
Dawn tipped wings glide
Away they must soar

Fore it has become night
Personality: [max 500]
Jay is very strong and brave. However, what they don't know is, that past that thick shell is a kind and caring Xholie. "With a heart as big as the clouds, the jay glides through the night" her mom would tell her every night when she was a pup. After her moms death, she became much colder, more serious and on topic, but part of her longs for someone to come and shatter that shell of loneliness and grief. While that shell is up, she in known to be a little more aggressive, than usual, and is always very quiet, focusing on her job completely. She is one of the stronger hunters, with much more power and muscle, but she is actually very relaxed and much happier when she is alone on a solo hunt, that is the best time to see, she truly is a hunter. She is waiting for love to come to her, she doesn't know it, but that's what her heart truly needs.

you don't mind the centering do you?

Name:
Asra
Means "travel at night" in Arabic
Haiku: 3 lines, syllable pattern [5, 7, 5]
On a tree trunk: Shadows
The wind of early summer
Moves quickly by
Personality: [max 500]
Asra was a very energetic and enthusiastic little Xholie, a trait unseen in her parents. She was a cute bubbly pup and was extremely girly. Her interests as a pup lay in glittery, shiny, pretty things. She loved grooming, enjoyed running around and playing with her friends.
As she grew up, her out-going nature was soon forgotten as her parents passed along with some of her friends at an early age. She still loves grooming and going out with what little friends she has left but her focus has turned to more serious matters such as the pack and her job as hunter by pushing herself and focusing on becoming faster and stronger so she wouldn't lag behind as much. Most of the time she's serious and focused and unapproachable due to her passive expression, but there are times where her faced cracks and the energetic little pup of the past comes out, but those times are far and between. Though at night she wishes she could still be that little pup, and maybe she thinks that she just needs someone to bring it out of her, and that’s what she longs for when she's awake on nights when she can't sleep. Asra is known for her passion and seriousness along with her intelligence, it’s hard to win an argument against Asra, as she knows her facts and is a very smooth talker. She has an amazing memory, leading to her high intelligence level.

Nahn

Haiku
Tall wall colored sea
A war rests beneath your feet
Choose: Sin? Or Savior?



Personality
Nahn is an introvert. Not that she's antisocial of course - that's a completely different personality type, trust me - but she can only be around large groups for so long before seeking a solitary place. One of the reasons she likes hunting is solitude of it. Being able to enjoy what's around her is a gift she likes to take time to cherish.
A happy childhood and kind parents allowed her to grow up right, respectful of others and just the right amount of kind. However, she adopted a quite morbid mind and isn't afraid to voice those thoughts on the subject. Nahn has had a strange obsession with the afterlife since she was young, and for that quite a few Xholi's are put off by her. Not that it bothers her though; Death comes for everyone eventually.
