<Snipped quote by Rune_Alchemist>

Well, while Grindelhooke isn't particularly rooted (lol puns) to forestry in particular (he's a restorer of nature, after all), it would make sense that he shares some backstory with the other two, moreso Nerine than AyyLmao Aylin.

For Nerine, I'd say he usually passed by her territory whenever humans mess up something in the forest, perhaps at Nerine's summoning or perhaps because Grindelhooke can just sense whenever mortals ruin nature. I think her view of him as either her pet or her servant could make for some good comic relief, as Grindelhooke wouldn't exactly view the situation the same way. Furthermore, perhaps it was Grindelhooke that convinced Nerine to join the demons? Or vice versa, who knows. Just a suggestion.

@Space Communist

Well, I can certainly see her having him help restore destroyed parts of the forest that she wouldn't be able to revive. She can't bring dead plants and things, or heal them. She can only grow new things over the old. So yeah, if she could save that one apple tree she totally had a thing for she'd get him to do it :D

And yeeeah, I can totally see some potential for comic relief there. She'd probably try carrying him around like a pet rock if he's small enough xD

Hmm...he could have also been a deciding factor in her joining, certainly, though the Shamans of her tribe swayed her more than he would have I think. She may be whimsical and somewhat fickle, but she wouldn't have gone against something they seriously didn't like.

@Space Communist@Rune_AlchemistYeah I think we can work something out between the two. Aylin views herself as te self proclaimed watcher of nature in the way of keeping balance - never taking to much ect ect. So she'll have undoubtedly gone through Nerine's area and been around Grindlehook. Thiugh im sure she'll have some issues with theatre at least. But yeah we can figure out some history

@FernStone

I think Aylin could be a good intermediary between humans and Grindlehooke and Nerine, actually. As you said, she's about balance, and Nerine and Grindlehook certainly aren't for balance - they'd both probably have the entire world covered in a forest, and let the animals do whatever they wanted to with the humans.

I would say that ultimately Nerine doesn't hate or have anything against Aylin either

A: She thinks she's cute

B: Nerine does in fact, understand that humans need some things from the forest to live. She just doesn't trust them to only take what they need and nothing else. Especially after being trapped in a dark Iron Cell, chained to the wall without any soil, water, or light.

I imagine during the war they sort of had a love-hate relationship perhaps? She probably would have even tried to repeatedly get Aylin to defect, though xD

Just a warning to the other demigods still in the spire/pit, Kalik is going to destroy this place lol.

@Holy Soldier

Well, Nefas is destroying the prison above it (Kinda) So that's cool xD

Need to go ahead and get Nerine out of there, though, in that case.

Children of Aton - Demigod RP [Recruiting!]

yaaay~

Should have Nerine's intro up sometime soon, barring any interruptions.

@Space Communist@Fernstone

Considering Grindlehook, Nerine, and Aylin are are fairly foresty based, think there's probably some history there. You guys wanna discuss stuffs or no?

Children of Aton - Demigod RP [Recruiting!]

@Space Communist

Ah, sorry, I didn't see your applications. I would rather future applications be sent in private messages, instead of getting lost in this thread.

Characters #1 and #2 are fine (the time travel thing's a bit weird but the character's interesting so I can roll with it). #3 is a bit similar to Nerine, but if Alchemist doesn't object than neither will I.

@Vahir

Me and him already discussed it, so I am cool with him if he wants to still use him~

Children of Aton - Demigod RP [Recruiting!]

hmmm~

I'll try and have Nerine get out of her cell sometime later tonight~

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

@Rune_Alchemist @Lasrever

Do y'all want to do some back and forth before I make a post? Or are you okay with moving forward?

@Whimsley

Hmm...

Maybe a bit of character interaction would be good?

Of course, I don't care much either way.

Children of Aton - Demigod RP [Recruiting!]

@Rune_Alchemist

Nerine's fine with me. Getting locked away in a cave must have been a special kind of torture for a nature-themed Child though.

@Vahir

You have no idea.

She's going to be quite...'withered' and probably one of the weakest once she leafs the prison~

_{sorry not sorry for that pun}

Children of Aton - Demigod RP [Recruiting!]

Now I need to write more opinions xD I better get to work

@FernStone

Karma for being an enabler xP

Children of Aton - Demigod RP [Recruiting!]

@Rune_AlchemistWell, you either purposefully skipped my character in your opinions or you just had no comments to give. But seeing as Nerine can't make what is destroyed you said? She only grows things and thus can't grow things from nothing? I was thinking that based on how Kalik's destructive powers work in the cycle of life, if she ever needed something removed, she could always ask (he could help her landscape I suppose lol). Usually, a forest fire allows for brand new life, and thus is what I'm getting at.

@Holy Soldier

Derp.
Yeah, I forgot him. My bad. Will add in a moment. It's sort of late here and my brain is shutting down and telling me to go to sleep. I keep telling it sleep is for the weak, but it won't listen.

But yes, seeds, nutrients, and things like that must already be there for her to speed up their growth process. But yeah, if he wanted to he could help her landscape.

Like say if something was destroyed or died. She can't restore something, but she could theoretically make new life over the dead so long as she had the seeds, water, and the soil had the appropriate nutrients. Like say, an uprooted tree. Or a tree that was cut down and used for lumber. She can't save the tree, but if there are any of its seeds nearby, she can use them to grow it.

Although, not sure how much she'd be for landscaping, since she'd just prefer to let things grow naturally. She could ask for his help in creating a nice little glade for her to rest in after this, though. She's probably going to be very weak once she's free, since she hasn't had any contact with soil, trees, or anything else for a millennia.

EDIT: And added

Nerine, Voice of the Forests

Nerine, Voice of the Forests, Faerie of the Woods.

colossi Form

Human form

"Oh come on. A little nap in the shade with me couldn't hurt, could it? Tsk. Don't worry! It's not going to hurt a bit...we'll be getting very intimate either way...heh...not like you're going to be leaving...so just relax...sleep for a bit..."

---

Name:
Nerine

Description:
Physical:
Nerine has three different forms she has been known to take, though she more or less doesn't use her human-esque appearance unless she must, and her Colossi form is only for combat purposes. Fighting other gods and other creatures of size where her usual form can't handle it.

Her first form, is that of a humanoid form, encased in bark with green, small plant life growing upon her body. She stands at a fairly average five foot seven, with somewhat disproportionately long arms and hands, that end in sharp, claws. Bright orange, fall colored leaf eyes shine brightly beneath a bark encasement. She lacks any nose, and the mouth is only for decoration, as she has no need to actually move it to vocalize.

Her colossi form is a massive form she is unable to use unless she is at a fairly high level of power, and has been basking in the nourishment of her forest. Standing at a gargantuan height that dwarfs most men and even gods, she fuses barks of trees together to achieve this form. Trees grow from the roots growing out of it, and she is mostly unable to speak in this form as it takes great concentration and power to hold for any great number of time. Its bark is almost completely impenetrable to steel arms and other weapons, though is obviously weak to fire and things that burn.

And her last, least used form she will only ever use to 'play' around with humans, mortals, and other gods, is her more or less human form. Elfin in appearance, It is attractive to most, to say the least. She stands at a five foot seven, Her hair, changes colors as the seasons do. In the spring, it is a rich vibrant brown. In the Summer, a bright blonde, and in the fall a beautiful shade of red, as though she had a hair full of leaves. In the winter, a bright white, signaling the bareness of the forests. She has vibrant blue eyes, and most often is seen wearing a dress of the color red. She can't hider her true nature completely, however.

Bark is always somewhere visible on her body. Most often, she has clawed gauntlets adorning her hands.

Psychological:
To say Nerine is evil or bad, is completely false in every sense of the word. If one were to ask, she'd call herself a free spirit who simply likes doing whatever the hell she wants too. Whimsical and Infinitely playful, would be the perfect words to describe this little forest dryad as. She doesn't take much seriously, and more often than not either jokes around, or plays, even with her so called opponents. Calling her completely good though, would be equally as false.

She has on more than one occasion, lured a human deep into her forests...only to put them to eternal sleep within one of her trees. Many forest to this day still have some of her victims bones tucked inside of them, as nourishment for the forests she so dearly loves. Of course, the only reason she'd ever do this is because of either boredom, or you've offended the forest in some manner. She's got a bit of a mouth on her, and likes poking fun at people, and often times is very sarcastic in manner. Well, unless she's flirting with you (Which she will). She is, however, honest and if asked about something she will likely give her honest opinion, and to those the forest and her call allies, she will likely help in any way she can despite her personal opinion.

Powers:
As far as power in the physical realm goes, Nerine is much stronger than even the other gods might give her credit for. Her stamina in battle (and other things) is almost unending while her body is as strong and durable as any ancient oak, able to weather blows that would fell another. She is able to crush a boulder with even her bare hands, should she have too. Her skin is as durable as the bark on an oak tree, making for an excellent natural armor.

In the realm of magic and otherworldly abilities, she promotes the growth of forests. Anywhere there is suitable nutrients (Such as fertile soil, water, and seeds) She can't create something from nothing, however, and can't restore that which was destroyed. That's not going to stop her from growing the forests regardless, however. Just her presence causes already living plants to grow at a much faster rate. Indeed, when she's out in a forest, little tufts of grass seem to always grow from under her feet, leaving a trail for some curious, lucky (or unlucky) human to follow. Aside from this, she can accelerate their growth to impossible levels if she is strong enough. In the past, she created an entire forest almost in one night, engulfing an entire human town in the process.

As a dryad, she also has minor control over the plants and animals within her forests. She is able to speak with beasts, and the trees themselves. The trees listen quite closely to things that are happening, and the secrets they tell are quite intriguing. Combat wise, she can ensnare enemies with vines and plants, slowing them down or even have the very roots of the trees attack her foes.

Original tribe:
In the past, she had a small tribe of Shamans. They worshiped her, though a fickle somewhat...difficult and whimsical goddess she may have been. They watched after the forest, preventing the intrusion of any non faithful without the orders of Nerine. They were experts in using nature to fight, and communing with the forest and spirits and borrowing boons from the trees to give them strength in a fight. Most, swore a life long oath to a forest animal and using ancient magic bound their souls together. During the war, they fought on the front lines and used their animal allies to devastate their foes, turning the very forest against the Angels.

When Nerine was imprisoned, her people slowly disappeared into the forests. Today, they are known as witches, outcasts, and otherwise folk one should not associate with. Speaking with animals is of course, an obviously demonic trait.

Faction:
Some might assume she would have sided with the Angels in the conflict...but no. About as soon as the conflict started, she joined with the Demons. Many assumed as whimsical seeming and good natured as she was, she would soon join the angels, but that never happened. Her reasons?

She had seen what mortals could do to the forests left unchecked, and though she herself was on the fence about it, after discussing things over with her people, she made the decision to join the demons. Eventually, she was defeated and imprisoned in the pit. Iron, metal chains restraining her in an iron cell, designed so that no earth, soil, or plants could never find their way into it.

Anecdotes:
-Fought for the demons.
-Her home forest was mostly destroyed. Today, it's home to a thriving little town that she would very much like to reclaim as her own, even if it means driving out the mortals.

Opinions:

opinions

Eyra the Seer:
"Meh, old hag. She's boring. She was cute once, but now she's probably got more wrinkles than an elephant."

Kinion the fool:
"Has he ever actually told a funny joke? I don't remember."

Wu Dan:
"Old hag. Him and Eyra should just get hitched already."

Nod:
"He's a bit violent, and has destroyed forests a lot. I hope he chokes on a hairball. Pretty strong though. Wouldn't mind going a round with him."

Kozz:
"Ehh...I dunno? Smelly and sweaty? Not my thing."

Azoth:
"Dunno him all that well...have I ever even met him?"

Therelon:
"hasn't hurt my forest, so I don't have a problem with him. Wonder if he'd be up for a late night stroll through the forest?"

Chinasa:
"Don't know him."

Tarthus:
"I hope he keeps his hands off of my forest, or I will have to get violent."

Aylin:
"I like her. She's cute and she respects the forest."

Ash:
"Eh...annoying. Don't like him...them...it a whole lot."

Zhystkrexas:
"If he even comes near my forest, I'll kill him."

Kilgarrah, The Honorable:
"Honorable? I mean, I'd never betray anyone but if you're gonna fight you gotta fight to win!"

Nefas Sen:
"Haven't met her much, but her children aren't right...they make me uneasy."

Zaphesto:
"Do Skeletons even have anything to do...that with?"

Akirakon:
"Eh...dunno much about him."

Grindelhooke:
"He's adorable, and he will be my faithful servant."

Kalikmalo:
"Hmm...Not really sure what to make of him. He destroys, and I don't like people destroying my forests, but sometimes to make a new forest you have to destroy the old one. He's not bad at least, I don't think. More importantly though...if he changes his size or something, does all of him change too?"

@Vahir

Alright, she's done finally. Nothing else to add at least, I think. Went ahead and added opinions for everyone. Decided to make it a bit lighter than Nefas'

All I have is just one question.

Does spider-cthulhu have pusspuss?

@Space Communist

Well.

from her CS:
"Nefas is in fact, neither male nor female. Take that as you will"

I'll leave that up to your imagination~
