It's a Doll's Life

...we LIVE!

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:24:22 GMT

okay, kinda. i renewed my paid account. so now, pictures are back... and yeah. woo. hopefully more will be happening here in the future. life has been quite unsettled, but the dolls are still incredible. now that i have both Kalimpong and Inari, a series of photostories may ensue. if i can find the right pure white wig for Kali. and make some period-appropriate clothes for them both for the past bits.

anyway!! we're still here! mwah!

This is the cute that is hanging out on mizunoseiryuu's desk. ShenTao is a Cerberus Project Minifee Chiwoo with a custom face up by para_chan214 and a custom outfit by me.

My apologies for the cell phone picture. The camera is elsewhere, and I was too excited not to post him.

Transcience -- Park Bench Creations Aesthetics, Customizations, and Modifications on DoA.

scared now! but not yet wibbling. the thread isn't complete -- it still needs shipping info, how many commissions i will accept in a given month, example images and links to still more examples and so on and on, but feedback on what's there would be more than welcome. drop it here, or drop it to me directly at my personal journal

and then along came Pia

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 23:15:07 GMT

yes, that's right, Gail Gallows did not arrive alone. Pia came with him for a bit of attention, and while she's not QUITE complete, she wanted to show off a bit.

Pia is a modified Mini Fee Soo. she is wearing blue glass eyes (maker unknown, possibly Luts?) and a red Tibetan lambswool wig made by tinybear. her necklace, bracelet, and belly-chain were all made by me (para_chan214). her tube top with butterfly was made from a converted baby-sized ankle-sock. her blue vinyl pants were made by mizunoseiryuu. her faceup is by a previous owner. her current owner is Kittywolf13.

what has been modified? her chest. Pia has been visiting me to have an incomplete chest modification by a previous owner completed and refined. that part is done (sorry, no topless shots this time) she is only waiting for the completion of her blushing, and her manicure and pedicure. once those are done, she and Gail will be traveling back across the country to Kittywolf13 and the rest of the Haven Way crew.

Pale Beauties -- Kalimpong and Iki

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 23:04:06 GMT

finally got around to taking pics of my (para_chan214) newest mini, Kalimpong, and Iki with his new look (i repainted him right before Dollectible. Kali is only our second resin female in the house, giving us a grand total of one SD size girl and one MSD size girl. Iki is my third Rasendo, and a treasure. i adore them both.

Kalimpong is a white-skinned DollZone Fenyo girl, wearing Fairyland Mini Fee hands in place of her defaults. her wig is a JPopDolls Kanawaves in Syma, and her eyes are unknown silvery-pinky-green acrylics (possibly Volks). her belly-chain and red cord bracelet with the Key were both made by me (para_chan214), and her sweater was purchased from its maker at the Dollectible Swap Meet (but i did not get her name.) her skirts (yes, she's wearing two) were made by mizunoseiryuu from old broomstick skirts. her shoes (unseen) are modified Luts shoes, Mini Fee size. her faceup is original and default.

Iki (Irving Knightsbridge Kensington Porter III) is a white-skinned Rasendo Touya boy. his wig is a modified Monique Gold Label 'Pretty Girl' in blonde/platinum blonde. his eyes are S+K shop deep purple glass. his shirt was made by Timmony's former owner (before mizuonseiryuu bought him), and his lariat necklace was made by me. unseen in these photos, Iki's wedding ring is by orangebabydolly jewelry and his pants were made by mizunoseiryuu. his shoes are secondhand, maker unknown. his faceup is by me.

we've been invaded! (Fairyland Puki Sha invasion!)

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 18:14:31 GMT

meet Klee, ancatsidhe's new boy, and my most recent faceup (of which i have photos).

Klee is a normal skin Fairyland PukiPuki Puki Sha (this is how Fairyland writes it on the packaging stuffs, so... i went with it.) he is wearing his default violet-blue eyes and pretty much nothing else until his wigs arrive and he chooses one.

this is officially the SMALLEST face i have painted!

Gail Gallows came to town for a visit...

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 21:59:26 GMT

Gail is a DZ Saka head with a modified default faceup -- his eyebrows were customized by his *pleasedon'tshootmeforthisGail!* owner kittywolf13 to better match his haircolor, his 'engraved' scars are by me, para_chan214. All other aspects of his faceup are untouched. He is wearing striking blue SoulDoll eyes and a hand-modified fur wig from Sunny's Wonderful World (it arrived unhemmed and was carefully hand-hemmed for better fit and styling and a more natural look.) For this photoshoot, he borrowed the body of my LE Senior Delf Dion, Peri.

Oh, the smex!

Doll Surveys: Kalimpong

Face up: default (currently, may change)
Eyes: 14mm silver metallics (acrylic, unknown maker, possibly Volks)
Hair: pale blonde shading to auburn (Jpopdolls' Kanawaves in Syma)
Age: old enough to have helped found the main shrine to Inari

Basic personality:

.If you were to describe yourself with one word, what would it be?
Calm

.What is most important to you in the world?
my Lady, the Goddess Inari

.Would you help someone who needed it while passing?
Of course!

.Are you very observant?
Oh, yes. I don't often act on what I see, though.

.How innocent/naive can you be?
*wistful sigh* I was terribly innocent once, and a pure, wonderful soul died because of it.

.Can you entertain yourself easily?
Now-a-days? Yes! There is much to see and do, and it is easy to travel.

.How well do you get along with others?
Fairly well.

.What was the longest time you had a friend?
...Since Inari found me, and lead me from my place of mourning. She has been my dearest friend ever since. Otherwise... hmm. I have known Kyuubi since he first arrived at the shrine, and Yuebing all his life.

.Do you have someone who knows you inside out?
Oh, I imagine anyone could. I have few secrets.
(Author's Note: otherwise known as... no one but Inari.)

.How short is your temper?
How serious was the crime? *sweet smile*

.Can you let go of grudges easily?
Again I ask, how serious was the crime?

Interests

.Do you read?
Oh, yes. I adore books.

.Do you watch TV?
Sometimes. Pre-recorded movies, mostly. DVDs, Yue-chan says they're called.

.Do you collect anything?
*blush* DVDs. They're shiny AND they contain movies.

.How long do you stay interested in something?
Either a very long or a very short time.

.If you collected, would it be for interest or profit?
Interest. What would be the point of collecting only to sell what you've worked so hard to collect?

History

.Do you know your parents/creator?
I do not... I may exist simply because people believed creatures like me to exist. I came to the land where I met the monk I loved and lost, and Inari who has cared for me, from India via China.

.What is your birthday?
Oh my, I don't remember!

.Do you have any siblings?
Not of which I am aware.

.Ever have to fight for what you believe in?
Yes... And I lost, anyway. But I had my revenge.

.When did you move out on your own?
I have always been on my own.

.When did you REALLY mature?
When my beloved monk died despite all my efforts, I decided I would mature no further. I have not physically changed since then, except perhaps to cut or style my hair.
Oh, you mean emotionally? I am still maturing! Aren't we all?

.Did you have many friends?
Once, before I fell in love, yes. Then for a long time, I did not. Now, I begin to have friends again.

.Any action you regret?
Not fighting harder to steal the monk's fate and take his place.

.What is a memory you treasure?
Being kissed by Inari.

.If given a choice, would you do it all again the same, or change it all?
I do not know.

Relationships - while single (Or while you were.)

.Do you have a dream partner?
...I do not dream.

.Do you believe you seek someone like your parents(or creator)?
No, I don't believe such a thing.

.Do you have one night stands?
Night-stands? If there is only one, how can there be many? I am Shinto, not Zen Buddhist! I don't deal in koan.

.What feature is most attention grabbing for you?
A pure spirit.

.What MUST someone have for you to consider them?
Kindness and compassion.

.Older, younger, same age as you?
Oh my, at this point, I'm older than nearly everyone but the Ladies!

.How do you feel about settlng down?
I am settled.

.How many dates before you go to bed with someone?
Dates? What do desert fruits have to do with going to bed with someone?

.How do you handle rejection?
Poorly, I'm afraid.

.How many times did you stop something before it developed?
Oh, many, many times. It's become easier lately.

Relationships - Once taken, or what you want if taken.

.Have you settled down and if so for how long?
I am settled.

.Any Children?
No.

.Any Grandchildren?
No.

.What do you love most about your partner?
...I do not have one.

.Any petnames?
Kali! Inari likes to tease me, though. She calls me Ka-chan.

.How many relationships have you been in?
...only two.

.Have you ended any?
No, it was ended for me.

.Has your heart been broken?
Oh my, yes, hasn't everyone's at one point or another?

.Any loves you cannot have?
My first love.

.Do you believe in true love?
Sometimes.

Mortality

.Have you ever died?
No.

.Can you even die?
Yes.

.Have you seen someone die?
Deaths both natural and unnatural, yes.

.Have you killed someone?
Yes. The greedy man responsible for the death of my beloved monk.

.Have you had someone killed?
No. I drove him to insanity and death myself. I would not wish to dirty someone else by asking such a thing of them.

Life

.What makes you truly happy?
Comfortable clothing, long flowing skirts, and my Lady.

.If you could, what is one thing you would spend your life doing?
What I am doing now.

.Do you have a job, if so what is it?
I work for the Ladies as a supervisor and coordinator of employees in the agency Kyuubi suggested and essentially devised to help non-humans and non-humans raised as humans without any knowledge of their true natures. Mostly I do clerical work for the Ladies themselves.

.Have you ever gone insane?
Briefly, when my revenge was over. At the very last of it, I hurled myself off a cliff, and Inari found me still alive, washed up on a beach. It was there that we founded the Great Shrine, and the torii walk out into the water where I drifted ashore.

.Did you ever feel as if you were the only sane one in the world?
Only when at the office. Does no one know how to alphabetize? I do, and English is far from my first language!

.If you had a choice, would you live a calm eternal life, or live a wild short life?
A calm, eternal life.

was very, very odd to fill out this survey. how was i to know Kalimpong was going to claim to be THE fox spirit from The Monk's Tale/The Dream Hunters/The Tale of the Monk and the Fox That Loved???

and yet, with her own twists, she has. fascinating little girl.

Kyo's New Look

Sun, 04 May 2008 03:01:47 GMT

these pics are from a month or two ago, but i'm just now uploading them... as you may or may not know, angel recently re-shelled her character Shuusai Kyo as a CP V.2 Breakaway (Bloody Valentine), passing on his former Dolkot Hara form to ancatsidhe.

Kyo arrived blank, and i got to do his faceup. here he is!

and then Sehti got in on the photo-action, since Kyo is a snuggly little priest/boddhisatva.

Kyo belongs to angel (mizunoseiryuu). his faceup and rosary are by me (para-chan). his clothes are from Iplehouse. Sehti belongs to me (para-chan). his faceup is by Anu of Tensiya, his shirt is by angel (mizunoseiryuu), and his jewelry is by me.

Oyu and Pepper at Breakfast

Sun, 04 May 2008 01:36:35 GMT

today, the blind oracle borrowed a body, and came to the Saturday breakfast at the Sonoma Chicken Coop in downtown Campbell. he found it a very confusing but interesting experience, and was climbed on a bit by a tiny new friend.

Pepper is a Fairyland Pukipuki Pipi, and lives with joey. Oyu is a Luts/CP NaNuRi 2007 on a borrowed Dolkot boy body. Pepper's crocheted top is by ancatsidhe. Oyu's faceup and necklaces are by me, his sash is a purchased silk scarf, and his robes and skirts (and pants beneath, unseen) are all by mizunoseiryuu.

New Kid in Town

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 12:49:33 GMT

I decided to re-shell Cassidy, my feline familiar boy, in a doll who fit better with the other "pre-bish" in the house. (Note: pre-bish = pre bishounen, too young to be called an actual bish, generally about 12 in this household) Cassidy's new sculpt is a Volks MDS Enn one-off, and he's adorable. His old shell, after some deliberation, has been passed on to para-chan and will become Timmony, another pre-bish.

Obligatory foot shot, or as Emily would say, "I have feet!"

The Orange Thief Caught! (goodbye, Shaun)

Wed, 05 Mar 2008 04:45:32 GMT

A quiet day somewhere in California...

*Ptch!*

*rustlerustlerustle*

*fmp!*

"Ah... Much better. Now if only there was beer about..."

*LEAP!roll*

*TMP!!*

"And I didn't even lose my wig this time. Onward!"

And so it was that Shaun braved many dangers...
"Geroffamestupidstupid%#&$#gerroff!OFF!"

...getting from the shelf to open floor...

...and to where his goal at last came into sight.
"Well, bugger."

After much journeying (and cursing)...

"Damn. Linoleum's gonna suck. Oh well."

...He reached the last obstacle.

"Very high counter, check. Me with no body, check. Going for it anyway, check."

SOME TIME LATER...

"Made it! Now... which one to send this time..."

"Ah, this one looks good." *HEAVE!*

*TMP!*
"Ah, triumph!"
"What the heck are you doing, Shaun??"
"Oh, hey para, how goes?"
"It'd go better if you'd stop mailing our oranges to the UK to try and prove to Mikos you're really in California."
"But it's fun, and I like the challenge."
*SIGH* "We need a better bondage tribble."

so, sorry Mikos, but no more oranges from California.

Shaun is a Luts/CP BW sleeping Yder head with custom faceup. Wig is of unknown origin (probably also Luts). just had to finally shoot this photostory, before the faceup went away, which at last it has. Shaun is now on his way to becoming Kemuri.

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:27:20 GMT

angel's (mizunoseiryuu) new boys!

Kyuubi showing off. Kyuubi is around 320 years old. He is a kitsune (fox spirit) with three tails.

The beautiful leaves and amber crystal belt that para-chan made for Kyuubi along with his wonderful pants from Marsh at Den of Angels.

Shentao looking far too sweet. Shentao is a qi lin (kirin, Chinese "unicorn") who had not reached his adulthood when a human tricked him into taking human form and then turned him into a slave. He spent nearly a century imprisoned by a priest he thought was his friend, and now he has escaped, not aware of the time that has passed. He is unfamiliar with the human form or human concepts of modesty or sexuality.

New dollies

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 04:55:12 GMT

Doll meet today. Two of them, actually. Breakfast with the local doll ladies at the Chicken Coop, and then lunch and a trip to the park with another group of nice doll ladies (and Kaji and Gundmithcat, who are nice but not ladies). It was my idea of a good day.

On to the point: Right after AOD, I ordered two dolls, thinking that it would be a while before I saw either of them. Both of them arrived this week. Pictures will come when I get around to downloading them off the camera. Until then, I have done doll quizzes for both of them.

Kyuubi
Name: Kyuubi (means nine-tails)
Doll Mold: Cherish Favian
Face up: default
Eyes: Everpurple #13, 14mm
Hair: curly red-brown
Age: 322-324 (he lost count)

Basic personality:

.If you were to describe yourself with one word, what would it be?
kitsune

.What is most important to you in the world?
having a good time. making the most of every moment. I might live to see the nine tails I was named for, but there's no guarantee. no matter how little or much time you have in this world, you shouldn't waste a moment of it.

.Would you help someone who needed it while passing?
depends on what they needed help with. I don't help strangers move bodies.

.Are you very observant?
I like to think so. I haven't lived this long without being observant.

.How innocent/naive can you be?
I may look young, and I can play the part, but really I'm quite old, and I've seen quite a lot.

.Can you entertain yourself easily?
sure, but I'd rather entertain myself with a good friend.

.How well do you get along with others?
I'm outgoing, but I have no patience for idiots.

.What was the longest time you had a friend?
hardly long enough. mortals are gone just about the time they start getting interesting.

.Do you have someone who knows you inside out?
not really. I like to have a bit of mystery.

.How short is your temper?
redhead. one guess.

.Can you let go of grudges easily?
I suppose, but creative revenge is more fun.

Interests

.Do you read?
some

.Do you watch TV?
not at all. I find it a waste of my time. and if one is on when I walk in the room, I get trapped, no matter how inane the show is.

.Do you collect anything?
not really

.How long do you stay interested in something?
for as long as it stays interesting.

.If you collected, would it be for interest or profit?
hard to say

History

.Do you know your parents/creator?
I recall them, yes

.What is your birthday?
that I do not recall.

.Do you have any siblings?
quite a few, actually.

.Ever have to fight for what you believe in?
tooth and claw

.When did you move out on your own?
we mature quickly. two years is usually all it takes before a kit is out of the den.

.When did you REALLY mature?
when I first started dealing with humans. their minds work so differently.

.Did you have many friends?
here and there. I like meeting new people.

.Any action you regret?
a few, but I would rather do something I might regret than regret something I might have done

.What is a memory you treasure?
... all of them.

.If given a choice, would you do it all again the same, or change it all?
the same.

Relationships - while single (Or while you were.)

.Do you have a dream partner?
only one?

.Do you believe you seek someone like your parents(or creator)?
nah. I want someone with style. someone interesting and different.

.Do you have one night stands?
when the mood strikes me.

.What feature is most attention grabbing for you?
there's a certain air about special people. the ones who don't realize their own worth, who don't understand what people see in them. there's a beauty to that.

.What MUST someone have for you to consider them?
at least a glimmer of intelligence in their eyes.

.Older, younger, same age as you?
younger. most everyone I meet is, anyway. although older can be fun, too.

.How do you feel about settling down?
oh, I doubt anyone would be interested in settling down with someone like me. I look twelve, act like a dirty old man, and would rather go out dancing than act responsibly.

.How many dates before you go to bed with someone?
depends on the person.

.How do you handle rejection?
by going out and finding some fun.

.How many times did you stop something before it developed?
a few. I can't really promise to grow old with someone when I know I'll still look twelve when they're losing their teeth and hair.

Relationships - Once taken, or what you want if taken.

.Have you settled down and if so for how long?
no

.Any Children?
none

.Any Grandchildren?
nai

.What do you love most about your partner?
don't have one

.Any petnames?
I'll answer to Kyuu. if I really like you, I might answer to bee. if I really, really like you, you could get away with shippo.

.How many relationships have you been in?
several

.Have you ended any?
more than a few

.Has your heart been broken?
more than once

.Any loves you cannot have?
one that endures

.Do you believe in true love?
I'm not sure anymore

Mortality

.Have you ever died?
nope

.Can you even die?
dunno. well, yes, I can be killed, but natural death...?

.Have you seen someone die?
more than once

.Have you killed someone?
no. I honestly don't think it's in my constitution.

.Have you had someone killed?
no. I find the prospect distasteful.

Life

.What makes you truly happy?
fun and lots of it.

.If you could, what is one thing you would spend your life doing?
having a good time.

.Do you have a job, if so what is it?
aheh... I get by on cute

.Have you ever gone insane?
insanely cute!

.Did you ever feel as if you were the only sane one in the world?
often. usually on the freeway.

Storm-tossed (the peri gets a new wig)

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 02:52:39 GMT

a few pics of the half-angel storm-mage in his new wig and the shirt he swiped at AOD and hasn't returned.

Peri/Silence belongs to me (para_chan214). his faceup and necklace are by me. his new wig (SPIFFY!!) is by miffimifster. his eyes are 16mm Luts black-with-blue/white-line glass (they came with him). his shirt is by mizunoseiryuu, and his pants are by Marsh (DoA).

Sas' new face

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 05:49:47 GMT

here she is, with her lips newly re-sculpted, head airbrushed to match, and with a new face-up. (oh, and sporting her glasses!)

for anyone who's wondering, Sas' wig is by Kstarr, and she's wearing 20mm SOOM eyes in SoftPoison. her purple-and-polka-dot raglan tee was made by ancatsidhe, and her necklace is one of my new designs and a one-of-a-kind (i don't have any more of those silver arrow-points, and have yet to find any more anywhere else.) her glasses are from the Mimi Collection. eventually, i'll figure out how to give them lenses. *GRIN*

so, what do you think?

Hawks and wolves...

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 03:18:59 GMT

...mate for life.

*happy sigh* at last, Peri/Silence is more than half paid off... so he got to come out of his box and get some attention... and managed to score himself the LE LaTiDoll Aida fullset outfit, some jewelry, a realy nice silver Kstarr wig, and a faceup.

so, here he is at last, posing with his mate, the nothing-wolf, Raien/Ryou-inu (whose face i also painted. these are my two most recent faceups.)

Thinking of You Now

Sat, 05 Jan 2008 05:10:47 GMT

For those of you who wonder what became of Yukito and ShiFen and their... mutual thoughts of one another, this is how I saw them last. I think they'll figure things out.

Yukito is an Elfdoll Wu
ShiFen is a Doll in Mind Achernar

Doll Quizzes

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 18:23:20 GMT

Yes, it's that time again. Time to play catch-up on the doll quizzes. I haven't posted here in a while (lately it's been para_chan214). Some of these are for dolls in transit or on layaway. For the record, Milk is no longer Milk. The character refused the sculpt. And Yukito is FINALLY on his way.

These characters are from a variety of universes. Some of them exist in universes with other characters who are dolls, but not necessarily from the universe that said doll took the quiz from. Yay for AU's.

Sebastian
Name: Sebastian (no surname given, yet)
Doll Mold: CP Delf Nanuri 07 gift head
Face up: para_chan214
Eyes: Ginarolo watery blue with dark blue around the pupil
Hair: long, black with bangs (Luts DW-104)
Age: unknown

Basic personality:

.If you were to describe yourself with one word, what would it be?
survivor

.What is most important to you in the world?
...? can't really think of anything. individuality, I suppose.

.Would you help someone who needed it while passing?
depends. there are a lot of people out there not worth helping.

.Are you very observant?
clearly not as observant as I should be, or I wouldn't be in this... condition.

.How innocent/naive can you be?
I thought that, as one of the fae, I wasn't innocent at all, but apparently, I can be naïve.

.Can you entertain yourself easily?
if I get bored, I travel. or at least, I used to.

.How well do you get along with others?
depends on the person. and often the species.

.What was the longest time you had a friend?
... I'm not known for getting particularly close to people.

.Do you have someone who knows you inside out?
no...

.How short is your temper?
fairly long. when I lose it... I leave.

.Can you let go of grudges easily?
I leave behind those toward whom I bear enmity.

Interests

.Do you read?
avidly

.Do you watch TV?
do what, now?

.Do you collect anything?
not really. I prefer not to hang on to anything more than I actually need.

.How long do you stay interested in something?
the answer used to be "until something more interesting came along", but I've changed so much...

.If you collected, would it be for interest or profit?
profit. I really have no need of things.

History

.Do you know your parents/creator?
I knew my mother and father. I never felt particularly connected to them, so it was no real loss when I left them behind in the fae realms. as for what I am now, those who changed me were strangers to me, and they paid the ultimate price for what they tried to do.

.What is your birthday?
I do not really recall.

.Do you have any siblings?
several. but because it is so hard for the fae to reproduce, there were many, many years between each child, so I did not know them well.

.Ever have to fight for what you believe in?
only if standing up, telling everyone to sod off, and storming out never to be seen again could be called fighting for what I believe in.

.When did you move out on your own?
I don't recall how old I was when I left. hardly considered an adult by fae standards, I'm sure. but I feel as though I've always been on my own.

.When did you REALLY mature?
I thought I was mature, but recent events have made me see that I may still have some growing up to do.

.Did you have many friends?
no.

.Any action you regret?
I don't know...

.What is a memory you treasure?
my old reflection, the way I looked before the change. but I know I can never be that man again.

.If given a choice, would you do it all again the same, or change it all?
change it all. I didn't ask to become what I am. perhaps if I weren't such a pathetic being I would have really stood up to those in the fae courts and their utter stupidity.

Relationships - while single (Or while you were.)

.Do you have a dream partner?
not really. I like to have fun, still. after all, part of me is still fae. but I don't really think about settling down or what kind of person I would want to settle down with.

.Do you believe you seek someone like your parents(or creator)?
dear gods, no!

.Do you have one night stands?
often.

.What feature is most attention grabbing for you?
I like pretty things.

.What MUST someone have for you to consider them?
time.

.Older, younger, same age as you?
whatever.

.How do you feel about settling down?
I try not to think about it.

.How many dates before you go to bed with someone?
dates?

.How do you handle rejection?
with a shrug. I walk away.

.How many times did you stop something before it developed?
... why would something 'develop' with the black sheep of the fae courts? I was hardly a desirable mate.

Relationships - Once taken, or what you want if taken.

.Have you settled down and if so for how long?
no. I like to keep moving.

.Any Children?
none.

.Any Grandchildren?
no,

.What do you love most about your partner?
hardly an applicable question.

.Any petnames?
I get called Bastian or Bas from time to time.

.How many relationships have you been in?
relationships. only a few. they never last.

.Have you ended any?
when they were no longer tolerable, I walked away.

.Has your heart been broken?
...

.Any loves you cannot have?
I try to avoid those kinds of emotional entanglements. they only lead to disappointment.

.Do you believe in true love?
no. such a creature does not exist.

Mortality

.Have you ever died?
I'm not sure. I think I came close, but they failed, and now I live this strange half-life, neither one thing nor another.*
(*note: Sebastian is a dhampyre. the vampires who attempted to turn him to see if they could turn a faerie failed. and died most horribly.)

.Can you even die?
oh, probably. all creatures can die, if you know how to kill them.

.Have you seen someone die?
yes...

.Have you killed someone?
yes, but I don't remember doing it.

.Have you had someone killed?
no.

Life

.What makes you truly happy?
I don't know if I've ever been truly happy.

.If you could, what is one thing you would spend your life doing?
traveling.

.Do you have a job, if so what is it?
not really. sometimes I will carry messages, if I happen to be headed that direction.

.Have you ever gone insane?
quite possibly. there are just things that will do that to you.

.Did you ever feel as if you were the only sane one in the world?
far too often.

.If you had a choice, would you live a calm eternal life, or live a wild short life?
does anyone really have a choice?

Wren
Name: Wren (no known last name)
Doll Mold: CP Delf Elf Chiwoo
Face up: default
Eyes: Soom Neon Blue
Hair: short, blond
Age: 16-17

Basic personality:

.If you were to describe yourself with one word, what would it be?
before, it would have been 'useless', now... committed

.What is most important to you in the world?
being able to do something useful. being with Sable.

.Would you help someone who needed it while passing?
if it were within my power. I haven't much power, though. being blind limits my ability to help, though it does not limit my ability to try.

.Are you very observant?
it is hard to be observant when I have no visual cues. I try to remember voices and judge situations on how people sound.

.How innocent/naive can you be?
when I met Sable, I knew nothing about myself or why I was treated the way I was. now, though, I know what I am, and any innocence is gone. knowledge will do that.

.Can you entertain yourself easily?
I suppose. I think I am simple to entertain. a song or some such thing.

.How well do you get along with others?
in general, not very well. people don't like me because of what I am.

.What was the longest time you had a friend?
Sable and I have been together for... a while, now.

.Do you have someone who knows you inside out?
that would be Sable, the one I have unknowingly but willingly bound my fate to.

.How short is your temper?
fairly long, I suppose. it's not like there's much I can really do when I lose it, anyway, save for feel helpless.

.Can you let go of grudges easily?
I guess. not much reason to hold one save for plotting a good revenge.

Interests

.Do you read?
umm... no. but I like to be read to.

.Do you watch TV?
what's teevee?

.Do you collect anything?
*embarrassed* clothes that are comfortable to wear and nice to touch. usually things that Sable has made.

.How long do you stay interested in something?
a long time. Sable says I have good focus and attention to detail.

.If you collected, would it be for interest or profit?
for interest. I am happy working with Sable when it comes to money.

History

.Do you know your parents/creator?
no. father was a demon and mother was ashamed of the child he had created in her. she wanted me dead before I was even born. instead, I am blind.

.What is your birthday?
I've heard of those. other people have birthdays. mine was never celebrated, but who would celebrate a day that marked the culmination of sin and regret?

.Do you have any siblings?
probably other children spawned by my father.

.Ever have to fight for what you believe in?
I believe that I stood up for what I believed in when I left the place I'd been raised. beyond that, I have stayed beside Sable when those who wished him dead had done much harm to him.

.When did you move out on your own?
when Fahn came and offered to show me the way away from where I was.

.When did you REALLY mature?
when Sable showed me that I could be useful and shared with me the things my kind need that I didn't even know I was missing.*
(*Wren is an incubus and probably distantly related to Roan)

.Did you have many friends?
no. children were scolded for even talking to me, and I was beaten if even an inch of my skin showed.

.Any action you regret?
staying where I was for so long. but perhaps if I had left before I did, then I would never have met Sable.

.What is a memory you treasure?
*shy smile* that is far too personal.

.If given a choice, would you do it all again the same, or change it all?
I don't know. I'd do whatever I had to do to end up with Sable. always.

Relationships - while single (Or while you were.)

.Do you have a dream partner?
I did not think of such things before I met Sable.

.Do you believe you seek someone like your parents(or creator)?
most definitely not.

.Do you have one night stands?
what?

.What feature is most attention grabbing for you?
hands. they are often the first point of contact. voices can be misleading, but hands...

.What MUST someone have for you to consider them?
patience

.Older, younger, same age as you?
no preference, though I know that Sable is far older than me. dirty old man. *grins*

.How do you feel about settling down?
I like things the way they are. Sable and I together. traveling when we want to visit new markets. setting up at an inn or at Tamsin's when we want to build up stock.

.How many dates before you go to bed with someone?
I've never dated.

.How do you handle rejection?
if rejection means being beaten bloody, then badly. I cry.

.How many times did you stop something before it developed?
I don't know what you mean. I think others were stopping things before I could even have a clue what was going on.

Relationships - Once taken, or what you want if taken.

.Have you settled down and if so for how long?
Sable and I have been together for a while, now.

.Any Children?
no. Sable and I are both male. children aren't really an option.

.Any Grandchildren?
no.

.What do you love most about your partner?
everything. his hands. how much he offers me. how he makes me feel. all of it.

.Any petnames?
he is my shadow and I am his demon

.How many relationships have you been in?
just this one.

.Have you ended any?
no. and I don't want this one to ever end.

.Has your heart been broken?
I was devastated when Sable was hurt, terrified that we would never be together again when we were separated, but that isn't the same, is it?

.Any loves you cannot have?
no.

.Do you believe in true love?
yes. if a love is deep enough to bind two lives together irrevocably, then it is true love.

Mortality

.Have you ever died?
no.

.Can you even die?
yes.

.Have you seen someone die?
seen? I see nothing.

.Have you killed someone?
no. not that I know of.

.Have you had someone killed?
possibly? I'm sure that those who took vengeance for what happened to Sable were ungentle.

Life

.What makes you truly happy?
Sable. everything about Sable.

.If you could, what is one thing you would spend your life doing?
traveling with Sable. helping him with dyeing and beading and sewing. just what we're doing.

.Do you have a job, if so what is it?
I am an assistant dyer. I help with mixing by knowing the texture of the dyes. I help with beading by knowing the shape and feel of the beads.

.Have you ever gone insane?
no, but I know, now, that I probably would have, eventually, if I hadn't met Sable.

.Did you ever feel as if you were the only sane one in the world?
not really.

.If you had a choice, would you live a calm eternal life, or live a wild short life?
something in between. I like to be wild, sometimes, and sometimes I like the calm.

I like being around people who aren't noisy, like the people at Saxon's home. which is my home now.

.What was the longest time you had a friend?
I've known Saxon for a little while. and I met Jhrdwyn a little bit after that.

.What is your birthday?
umm... they told me at the shelter, but I don't remember. I don't know all the months, yet.

Social Services brought me upstairs a couple of months ago. but they took me to a hospital and then to the shelter where it was always noisy. but now I live with Saxon and Jhrdwyn and Kinndle and Evan and Elena, and that's nice.

just Saxon and Jhrdwyn. and Evan and Kinndle and Elena, too.

I don't understand.

they call me Cass. we say Sax and Jhrdy and Ev and Kinn. Elena doesn't have a pet name. Mr. Maxwell calls her 'Lena, though. and he calls Ichiro 'chiro. he shortens everyone's name, but his name is too short to make shorter.

I go to school. I try to help at home, too. Evan and Kinndle and Elena and Ichiro and Mr. Maxwell and Rob and WuFei work together a lot. Saxon tries to help, too. Jhrdwyn tries to understand. when he can, he will probably help, too.

Jhrdwyn said that my record at the shelter said I was crazy. here were lots of big words in there, too. Saxon looked them up. he sounded angry about it.

no.
