OOC Introduction Post!
WELCOME TO DEER COUNTRY!
We are happy to have you here! This is our OOC Introduction Post for players to introduce themselves and their newest character for the game.
If you are unfamiliar with introduction posts or game settings in general, this is a great opportunity to tell people the name you go by, your preferred pronouns and contact information, and a little about the character you're bringing into the game. Introduction posts are not required but they are a great way to meet other players and know what new faces will be in the game setting.
As soon as you are accepted into the communities, you can dive right into the fun and start making posts! No need to wait for events.
Have fun and thank you for joining our game!

He's a reserved yet very prideful former noble and water mage. He was the only son, and therefore the heir of his house. Due to his family's very high expectations, he has always strived for perfection, to the point that he hides anything his sees as a flaw under a mask of icy perfection. Sheliak was transformed into a mage when he was 16. He may look human but he's secretly a being made of magic that is tied to a human soul and body. Basically magic doesn't naturally exist in the real world so it needs a human tether to anchor it in reality. Sheliak has conflicted feelings about his magic, whose sole purpose is to destroy the barrier between the real and magic world, potentially ending the world in the process. He hides a lot behind that stoic mask of his. (If your curious what else he's hiding, here is his app, along with his opt out and permissions)
Sheliak's lover's dying wish was for him to live for himself, instead of blindly following others. This is my long term goal for Sheliak here but he has a long way to go. He has dedicated his entire life to the Saarela name, even going as far as to hide huge parts of his personality so he wouldn't risk tarnishing the family name, and loyalty is how he copes with things he can't control. He will also stubbornly insist that he doesn't need anyone. Please help him but fair warning, he's an arrogant bastard with a lot of toxic elitism to work though. However if you can get past that he's not a bad guy.
He's a coldblood and his omen is going to be a small griffin that he is hesitant to name. When a mage is weak they turn into a small animal. Sheliak's is a water snake, it's like a mix between a pipe fox and a sea serpent. Normally his water snake could turn into a puddle of water but for a fun coldblood detail, I was thinking of his snake being able to turn into a patch of ice, small flame or a small storm cloud depending on his mood. Back to the griffin, Arrakis, Sheliak's lover, turned into a small white griffin. In many ways, Arrakis influence is the best part of Sheliak and a griffin watching over him is perfect. Sheliak is reluctant to replace Arrakis though so he doesn't want to give his omen a name. This is something I want to play with early in the game. I'm not sure what occupation to give him yet.
I'm open to continuing the few tdm threads I have. I sort of rushed in at the last minute so I don't mind handwaving them if that's easier.
