Welcome to Gaia! ::

Another day, another meal.

Zopyros wasn't much of a gourmet; he basically ate whatever plant matter he could easily stuff into his partially sealed muzzle, and that was that. He was standing at the edge of a clearing, at the foot of a hill. He wasn't eating the grass around it, though. He decided to pick the leaves and berries off a shaded bush, instead. It took less effort than trying to clip the grass through the stitches.

He had made a decent amount of progress when the peace was suddenly broken by an overhead scream. Startled, his head shot up in time to see a large shape crash at the top of the slope. He watched in stunned silence as the shape proceeded to slide down in a flurry of dust.

... Okay, what was that all about?

Politeness would dictate that he investigate and see if the other Soquili was all right. Zopyros sighed, and slowly made his way over. What kind of feathered moron couldn't even fly straight? He didn't even have wings and he was convinced he could do better than that. Maybe the guy had been dropped on his head as a foal.

Zopyros looked at the heap of Soquili that was Lazarus, and raised an eyebrow. "You okay?" he asked, without an ounce of real concern.

Her proper manners, poise and talent for music have made her quite popular in the household and in Osaki. Protecting the young Akiyama is very, very high on the list of her priorities, but Haruna's number one will always be her family. While she loves the Akiyama heir like a sister she is torn between her duties and leaving behind her young brother who fills the court with his screams and giggles when playing with his one and only onee-san. • MONK: Kohei is basically a thirty year old man-child with sake for a bottle and pretty women as his comfort blankets. He quit his Buddhist practice about three years ago and refuses to tell anyone why. He simply evades the question or answers with a simple "I got bored", which is very unsatisfactory for those who knew how passionate he was about the religion. However his family is glad to have him back because when he isn't running around playing he's actually very loyal and dedicated to his cause. Some of his closest friends believe that it is not really the women and booze he enjoys, so much as it is causing trouble and irritating his loved ones. That has been his signature language of love ever since he was a boy. • BODYGUARD: Ichiya is not as serious as he seems. His impressive sense of duty and discipline keep him a very stoic air when he is on the job, but he is really just an average man with a more than average ability to wield a sword. He has no problems expressing his feelings (which always show on his face even when he tries to hide them) and observations even if it will hurt others' feelings but that's mostly because he rarely ever considers the feelings of others. He wasn't always a loyal follower of the Miyamoto family. In fact he used to hate them very much. A man from the family 'employed' him by blackmailing him, a common thief with no family, always saying they'd throw him in jail if he didn't obey. Eventually he learned the threats were empty and he realised it was simply his way of jesting, however tasteless. Perhaps this helped influence the way Ichiya processes and takes in information: pragmatically and from a distance. • NOBLE o1: Nanako has been energetic and adventurous from day one. It was cute when she was a snot-nosed kid, doing cartwheels, climbing trees and screeching with laughter as she did so. She'd grow out of it for sure, her parents though, but she never did. Even now at eighteen she still runs around barefoot with her hair unfixed and arms spread so wide. It is as if she believes she could catch the sun if she could only get close enough. Knowing Nanako that is probably exactly how she feels. Nanako is fully aware of the shame she brings to her family but she is not one to stop chasing her dreams. As the years went by the family has gotten better at keeping her contained, learning all her secret techniques to escape from the house, but as of late she has taken to scaling the roofs and sitting there for hours or, according to some accounts, dancing under the stars. If there was one good thing from her utter shamelessness it is her natural ability to transform in to a dazzling performer. When Nanako dances and sings she is sure to catch everyone's eye from the sheer enjoyment she feels while performing.
