Ah, past four-hundred. Wow... just wow... this is awesome.
Thank you, all of you!
Also, when I started writing out this post we were still at 401, so this was going to be 402... but it ended up being 405 O.o daaaaaannnnggggg we artists be crazy >.>

I loved this design, though initially it was different colors. I was afraid though that the mint-ish looking colors I initially chose would not go over well so I changed it.
I swear I will finish up those two RU's I owe, it just might take me a few more days.

-You can only include a short story OR a personality. Not both unless you put the other in the extras section.
-The one extra can be anything, as long as it is only one thing. Limit on words would be seven-hundred. This is not required though.
-In the story or personality section, I will limit the words to seven-hundred as well (and can't be less than one-hundred)
-In the "one piece of art" section, you do have to include a piece of art of the viscet, it does not have to be done by you (though that is preferred) it can be digital/traditional/ect as long as it is colored in some way or another.
-If you want to do your own art, but aren't sure how to draw viscets/ect you can always check out the Viscet Reference Repository for help. It's free and it's a good way to get help too, if you need red-lining or need a reference to follow. Just make sure to read/follow the rules.

@ Addie
Yes, prettying up is allowed.

@ everyone
I didn't make this clear, but the "required" art doesn't have to be anything special. It can just be a headshot/ect.
I suppose if it's traditional and you don't have anything proper to color in, you can fill in the designs with pencil and I will consider that as well.
Anyway, good luck to everyone who tries out.

One piece of art: by me....It's a bit weird, I'm sorry. But it's to the best of my abilities.

Short story OR Personality: Voodoo, hoodoo, or black magic. It is generally viewed as something nasty, bearing hexes or curses. This is not exactly true, and Clay, himself, can testify to that. For once, long ago, he was truly little more than clay. It was great sorrow that molded him, for the Ibo people faced certain extinction, evil spirits having come to steal their children. Every houngan and mambo were summoned, both far and wide, and a massive verver was made. Mange Loa was preformed, and each houngan and mambo was possessed by a Loa. Their people were in need, and their people must be protected. It was Ogu, the warrior Loa that was chosen. From the clay scatter about him, he crafted a vessel, his chosen species being that of a Viscet. A race which he favored greatly. Through the ritual, he gave life to the clay, the Loa granting the Viscet unmatched strength and a will far surpassing that of any natural born Viscet. This Viscet was to be a spirit eater. He was meant to devour any evil spirits sent to harm his people. Nothing comes without sacrifice, however. And though the mange Loa had been enough to summon the Loa, the sustained life force of Clay called for a price. Each houngan and mambo had their life cut in half. Several of them, who were already elderly, did not return from this ritual. However, it was through Clay that the evil spirits which plagued the Ibo people were driven away. Children were once again born without issue and lived to play in the village. He is a mystical beast, roaming about at night and devouring any evil spirits which seek to harm his charges. It has become customary to offer continued life support to Clay, so as his protection continues. Now, any who become houngan or mambo, must offer a portion of their life to Clay, extending his own life. This, as it seems, has resulted in a peaceful and very much enjoyed, life for the Ibo people. And they show their respects to him any time he is seen.

One extra: It should be known that the markings on his body are made by Ogu himself. If the markings begin to fade, Ogu will revisit Clay, and with a mixture of paints, refresh the markings on his beloved creature. These are the markings of a warrior, and Clay is, in fact, a warrior. It is with great loyalty and love that he protects his people. Should he ever die or, for some reason, not be with his people, the children would once more be at risk, thus resulting in the end of his people. He is not exactly a domesticated Viscet, but he is not wild either. Some strange mix of in between. He views the Ibo people as his pack, but he does not stay in the village when he sleeps. As for personality, Clay is brave and fierce, he may seem serious, though children hold a spot in his heart that may be due to his work. He holds nothing but an extreme desire to protect those he loves, knowing their future depends on him.


(I tried not to go overboard with my terms (yes, they are real.)
Houngan and Mambo = Voodoo priest and priestess'
Ibo= a Haitian people/village/group.
Mange Loa= typical sacrifice of animals to Loa.
Loa= Gods/Godess' or general deities.
Vever= The symbol drawn on the ground during a ceremony.
Ogu= A great Loa, typically a warrior Loa.
I think I got them all....)

Meet Porter. He is what you could call your
typical bad boy, while at the same time
being the sweetest boy you could ever meet.
Unfortunately, Porter became this way due to
how he was raised. Porter never got the chance
to meet his parents. As far as he can remember
he grew up alone on the streets with multiple
different viscets that roamed the streets. He was
able to jump from human household to human
household when he was younger, but as he got
older it got harder and harder for humans to
welcome him into their homes. Poor Porter became
alone and confused, and due to the instability of
his past makes his temperament unpredictable.


At times his temperament can be nearly impossible to break, and other times it can be the easiest thing in the world. Although, one thing that has never changed in Porter is the fact that he has always had a dream to go and explore the world. Every single inch of it. In fact, it's one of his biggest dreams to go across the ocean and explore all the other continents. However, his favorite pass times is climbing up in a tree, somehow managing to get a glass of lemonade up with him, and just enjoying the view. Porter hasn't had very many friends in his life. He's had people come and go, and that's about it. The constant coming and going of others in his life has caused some severe trust issues to develop with Porter, on top of anxiety when it comes to being in a relationship. Some days he can act like nothing scares him at all, but there are just as many days where he breaks down questioning why his parents weren't around, and why anyone would want to stick around when his own parents didn't even want to keep him around. So, when he starts to develop feelings for someone he will be very cautious about it, and will even go as far as avoiding that viscet to "protect" himself. If he discovers that another viscet has feelings for him, he will literally run away from that viscet, most likely not realizing that it will more than likely hurt that viscet if they see him literally running away from them.
