Alone.

Together, we stand, against any threat that may be in our way. We have the knowledge of one thousand years. We have the strength of five hundred armies. Though we have our power, we do not have anyone to use it against. We are… Alone.

The Ca’cir race lives by an honor code. It is one that has been passed through the generations. It is something that every Ca’cir knows, from the moment they can understand.

-Loyalty. This pertains to family, friends, and their mate. Betrayal is one of the worst crimes a Ca'cir can commit, but it's not like they'd ever want to betray anyone. They're pretty reasonable, too.

-Strength. They have this weird thing about showing emotion. They don't care about showing anger or happiness, but the moment they become sad or distressed, they're immediately statues. This is drilled into them at the very beginning, though some of them break the conditioning and feel more freely. They do not like others to see if they are upset because this shows that they are an easy target.

-Rationality. Hardly ever do adult Ca'cirs (like, 22+) make decisions with their hearts. They always think about what's right for their family and what will get them the most they can manage. They're pretty stingy and like to keep things that they earn.

Appearance Notes:

And this is just a side note: As a species, they do not know what gay/straight is. Almost the entire species is bisexual and really, incest isn't horribly uncommon, because they love what's familiar to them and they aren't really trusting.

Just... Make sure to ask before you join randomly and also, make sure to ask if you plan on having an important character or something...

Okay, and if you want a separate species or something, just ask and I'll send you a separate character sheet or something.

Kokajin stood in the midst of young boys, all training for one purpose: their family. They trained long and hard each day, almost always resulting in some sort of casualty. Right now, his nose was filled with the smell of today’s first bloodshed. It had been a pretty nasty head wound; a lot of blood, but the boy was being taken care of as the rest trained. He glanced over to the now bandaged up kid, who probably wasn’t more than 14, and grinned, before spitting on the ground. The boy had tears running down his cheek, even though he had assured him that he was not in pain. It was… Weak. Anosen, the second in command stood beside the boy, chuckling like nothing has ever happened. He had been the one to bandage him up and make sure the bleeding had stopped. He had always been better at the medical stuff than Kokajin. Kokajin wasn’t particularly… Jealous, but he did wish that he could do it as well. With a small sigh, he walked to the other side of the field, yelling sharp orders to continue the positions the boys had been taught this morning. He took a long drink of water and settled with his back to a tree, watching the fighting with dead eyes.

Euna slammed her hands down on the table at the small bakery she was working at, frustrated at her third burnt loaf of bread. She had asked her cousin to add a single stone to the fire, and he added as many as he could find. Usually, this wouldn’t annoy her too badly, except on bread day, the temperature needed to be precise. She had a line of annoying looking people in the small room and she did her best not to look up at them. Instead, she slipped out the back, handing off her things to the next person in line. “And I quit,” she said firmly, running off toward the woods. There, she followed a small path to a river and rolled her pants up, sticking her feet in the cold water. “I hate that place,” she muttered under her breath.

Nearly in tears, Seko followed the trail of water that lead through the castle corridor. The whole time, she was calling her brother’s name. “Aja! Come back here!” She got frustrated too easily when he’d run off. She also just didn’t want him in the castle alone. There were places she hadn’t even explored, even after living here for so long. Some of them were only because she couldn’t fit in the tight spaces that were used to get in, but she did know that Aja could and it scared her. Knowing how he acted with his condition, he didn’t really understand why he shouldn’t go in places like that and Seko always did her best to protect him. After a bit more searching, she came across a fort of several baskets pulled together in a corner. Underneath, she could hear exciting giggling floating up. With a relieved sigh, she peeked in the top, only to see a flash of white as Aja, a pale, dripping boy, who was still nude from the bath, zipped past her and squealed. Shewalked after him again, muttering that it may be easier if her brother were around to help. She didn’t expect him to be, though, as she volunteered to help Aja bathe. After all, it gave her an excuse to think. Tomorrow was supposed to be a big day.

Ania’s hands were placed firmly on her hips as she stood in front of her friends. Most of them were busy digging a fire pit of setting up camp, just trying to get away. She was staying out with them, too, as some fun. She was excited to be away from the elders, for at least a night. They would go back, though, just to attend the Queen’s ball. It was all the town had been talking about for the past month and she needed to see if it was all it was cracked up to be. A few of her other friends had gone back into town for a bit to get a few more supplies, but this was nice. With a small groan, she sat down, watching. She felt a twinge of guilt as they all worked, and she just planned to reap the benefits, but it was quickly washed away when one of her friend’s dropped to her side and put an arm around her.

(Anyone can be in her group of friends, too.)

(may Kennai be one of the royal guard?)

Tatau sat behind the bakery bored, hidden behind the garbage bins. There was a bit of a commotion inside which made her look up at the back exit, hearing the girl who usually worked there exclaim her leave for good and storming out. Tatau quickly ducked back down at the sound of her approaching, staying quiet until she heard another leave and grumble about wasted profit before going back in. She smiled to herself, peeking up again to make sure the coast was clear before making off with her third prize that morning, finally standing and walking away. Just a little black, nothing that could've affected the deliciously soft insides... Putting two of the loaves into her shoulder bag, she tears at the third until the crust gives and unleashes a smell to make her mouth water. The others will love this...

Souri helped dig the pit for the fire, glancing over his shoulder at Ania. He stopped for a few seconds and brushed his hands off. "How are we doing, supervisor?" He teased Ania, making a point of her not really helping them, just watching. But he didnt care much. They were getting the job done, and that was all that mattered. He was just happy to be able to hang out with them.


Aekra ran around, helping to get ready for the queens ball. Her arms were full of supplies she was setting up. She didnt mind working here, but it was also stressful at times like these. But she would get the job done like she was asked too. In the back of her mind, she wondered how Kokajin was doing with training the younger ones, but pushed the thought aside.


(tell me if I need to change anything, Ave.)

Kennai heard the commotion through the halls, smiling to himself at the childish play. He paused to listen more carefully, the various directions the corridor made the sounds come from before picking a door to hide behind and waited. The boy's laughs grew closer, and soon there was the accompanied sound of the slap of his bare feet against the wooden floors...

As the small six year old passed, Kennai stepped out behind him and closed the distance quickly. He stooped down and hugged Aja around his waist with a playful bearish growl. With ease, Kennai had the boy over his shoulder. "And who is this indecently exposed boy roaming the castle? Might I need to kick him out, Princess?"

Satsu leaned against a tall tree in the distance. She stayed close with her friends and watched them for a few seconds. The Queen's ball... was.. going to be interesting. She moved over and sat down on the log and watched. her eyes flicked aorund from face to face of the people there. Mikoto sat next to her and smirked. "Having fun?" He asked. Satsu rolled her eyes and kept her mouth shut. She didnt need to arguee with Mikoto tonight.

Ania rolled her eyes up at Souri, not minding the teasing because, after all, it didn’t seem particularly malicious. She shifted, closing her eyes for a moment and then stood, shaking off the arm around her shoulders. She glanced around and decided that maybe there were a few more supplies out in town that she could bring out here. Sure it would be risky, but they wouldn’t be out here very long if they only had what they initially brought. “I’m gonna go on a quick supply run,” she said, making sure at least someone heard her. After just a minute, she walked off, hands in her pocket.

Seko couldn’t even manage a smile at Kennai, and instead brushed past him. “Please make sure he gets dressed,” she said, her voice shaking. She started down a long hallway, head down, before making her way towards her room. She still had fittings all afternoon and she didn’t know how she was going to deal with the stress of it all. She smoothed down her robes and walked past her door, a different destination in mind. She needed to go where she knew the stress would be gone.

Aja squirmed until he was set on the ground, eyes desperate. “Seko… Seko mad at Aja.” The small boy looked so troubled by this fact that after just a moment of silence, he glanced up at Kennai and started crying. “Aja did bad…” he said, muffled against Kennai’s leg, clinging to him. He sniffled and looked up, shivering, wide-eyed. “Didn’t mean it.”

Satsu watched her leave before getting up and following her. "Mind if I come?" She asked in a soft quiet voice. "I needed to get away." She said simply. She gave Ania a small smile.

Ania glanced back at the girl with an almost dagger-like glare. “Yeah, I mind,” she said. Ania wasn’t…. The friendliest person in the world and she was trying to use this as her own chance to be alone, too. “I’m sure you can get supplies some other time, though… Right?” She tried to negate the harshness of her first statement and then shrugged. “Never mind… I don’t care…” She muttered, turning her head forward. She waited to see if Satsu was gonna stay or go, even after her reaction. She couldn’t afford to make an enemy.

Okay, so all characters are expected to go to the Queen's Ball, which means they'll have to find an escort. This is just something to jump start communication. ^^

Kellan: If there was one simple thing i loved most in the world, it was heights. To be high up and observe everyone going about their business below..... it was pleasant, to be able to detach ones self from the world for a while, and be an observer, not a player in the seemingly never-ending game. Trees were my favourite way of getting above ground - the foliage provided excellent camouflage. It was in one such tree that i perched now, watching everyone scurry around below. The Queen's ball was coming up..... i suppose i was a little bit excited, but the prospect of trying to find an escort was one i did not like, and i had already put it off for too long. I was running out of time. This was a problem...... one i would have to solve, fast. Unfortunately, this meant i really didn't have time to be disconnected from the world. Reluctantly i climbed down from my perch and went looking for something to do.

"Oh, she knows that. She's just busy right now; she'll play tomorrow night. However, young sir, she is correct that you require clothes." Kennai watches her walk off, a small smile on still. Same thing, every year. She would make a good queen if the tides turned towards her at their parent's decision.
"If you get to your room first, I have a surprise that might not have to wait until tomorrow..." He taunts, raising an eyebrow at Aja with a devilish smile. "Ready...?"

Aja nodded and smiled back at Kennai, tears being replaced with innocent laughter. “Surprise? “ His eyes widened slightly. White hair fell in his face and he started off toward his room, seeming to forget that Seko was frustrated at all. He constantly glances back at his guard, making sure he was close. He sung to himself as they passed intricate tapestries hung on the wall, nearly bubbling over from the excitement he was feeling.

Kennai kept up with the boy just by walking, chuckling to himself as they go down the halls. "I'm gonna beat you..." He teases, just staying a step behind.

Aja giggled wildly and took off as fast as he could move, squealing as he reached his door. He swung it open and plopped on his bed, singling loudly. “Aja wiiinnnns!” He sand until his guard got into the room and then stared at him. “Aja picks clothes?” He asked, tilting his head slightly, eyes falling on his wardrobe.

Kokajin finished cleaning the training area just after the sun had started to descend, and by that time, everyone had already left, including Anosen. He always waited until everyone left before he did anything. It was like his own personal thinking time, when it was just him and the swords. He left after he put away the last sword, to find Aekra, but stopped as she was probably still at the castle. He wasn’t in the mood to deal with Royals this evening.

Satsu followed silently. "If it is a problem.. I will go... but I figure.. youre going on a suplies run.... so..." She said with a small shrug. "I thought you might need help."
