The silence of a falling leaf, the soft warmth of the fall sun. Gentle breezes brush through the trees that surround the area in which a certain someone called home, shaking the branches of the fire colored maples and sycamore. There was a certain chill in the air, but not harshly so, not to be uncomfortable to say the least. One could go out and enjoy the day, wearing maybe a jacket to protect from the passing rush of wind, but other than that, it was beautiful outside. That was Hoshinoya-ryokan, of Kyoto, Japan.<br/><br/>Along a flowing river, a boat dock was found. And, leading from that dock, was a set of wooden steps, going up the steep hills that sided the river. Going up those steps would lead to an old building, an inn. It was stunning in appearance, just like the autumn season that was its setting. The people who know of this place often stayed away, not sure of what resided there. Some said it was home to demons. Others said that it was cursed and haunted. But whatever the real truth was, no one had gone to that place in ages. Except for the curious child, or thrill-seeking teenager. There were stories ahead of the time that people had once gone up there before, violence on their minds, and hatred in their hearts. Something had happened, but no one speaks of that story, not even in whispers.<br/><br/>People who have ventured in to the forest have often come back saying they'd seen things, not the usual kind either. Girls with long black and white hair, wearing pure white kimono, cats that appear and disappear at will, something that looked like a boy, but had webbed feet and hands, and a weird shell on his head. Those who are native born to the land of Japan would know that these particular apparitions were Yokai, of many different forms. But what they were doing all clustered in that area, it was anyone's guess. As many of them were from different regions.<br/><br/>At that moment, a young looking male could be seen just barely among the shrubbery close to where the docks were on the river, sitting upon a rock that had a bit of moss on the top to provide a natural cushion of sorts. His face was towards the river, as he gazed upon the view of the setting sun. He wasn't of normal appearance either. He had silvery white hair, extremely pale skin, and if one managed to get close enough, they'd noticed his eyes were of the most unusual colors. His left being a bright green, and the right, violet. He was wearing a black outfit, which included a white shirt underneath a black long sleeved and collared button up shirt (which was currently unbuttoned), black pants, shoes. Adorning his left ear was a dangling black feather, and around his neck was a long thin silver chain with a matching feather, and a silver charm shaped like a crow.<br/><br/>A longing expression was in his eyes as he gazed out upon the river, a sort of sadness formed upon his lips. He looked as if he could cry just about any minute, any moment tears could just spring up from within him, to flow over and down his pale cheeks. His fingers of his right hand twirled the stem of a bright red leaf, twirling it around and around as he sat there. Possible unaware that he was even doing this. After a moment he sighs and lowers his gaze, moving to stand up, and looking towards where he knew that the humans lived, wondering if anything new has happened...Anything exciting. Not that he really cared all that much. He knew that he had to get back to the inn...soon, or else he'd get caught out in the night, and that would not be a good thing to happen. Especially since he could hear the sounds of wolves starting to rise up deeper in the forest.<br/><br/><dl class="codebox"><dt>Kemono Tsubasa | <a href="javascript: void(0);" onclick="var spoiler = this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('dd')[0]; if ( spoiler.style.display == 'none' ) { spoiler.style.display = 'block'; this.innerHTML = '-'; } else { spoiler.style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '+'; };">+</a></dt><dd style="display: none;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a class="postlink" href="http://i52.tinypic.com/2nr1tuo.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">General Information:</span></span><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Name:</span> 獣 翼<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Name Translation:</span> Kemono Tsubasa<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Nickname:</span> 鳥 / Tori<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Age:</span> 17<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Gender:</span> Male<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Birthday:</span> December 21st<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Race:</span> Crow Tengu<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Home Country:</span> Kyoto, Japan<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ethnicity:</span> Japanese<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Occupation:</span> N/A<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Sexuality: Pansexual to Homosexual</span><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Position: Uke</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Appearance:</span></span><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Height:</span> 5’ 5”<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Weight:</span> 119 lbs<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Eyes:</span> His left eye is a bright green color that is almost golden in hue. Has a darker shade of green around the edge of the iris. His right eye is a bright almost neon violet purple in color, and like the other eye, has a ring of darker purple around the edge of the iris. Has long, full black eyelashes that make it seem like he is wearing eyeliner and eye shadow make up. His eyebrows are black in color and are pretty much a straight line.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Hair:</span> Contrasting his black eyelashes and eyebrows, his hair is a pure silvery white color, and is quite long. His hair is usually messy in appearance, his bangs are longer than the rest if his hair, excluding the bits that are to the side of his face, which are the longest, which reach down past his collarbone.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Skin:</span> Extremely pale, his skin has a near grey tint to it. It is soft to the touch.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Jewelry:</span> A chain around his left upper arm that ends in a shackle around his wrist.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Clothing:</span> Mainly wears white shirts, (button up, short sleeve, long sleeve, or just a t-shirt) some sort of over shirt (a jacket, another shirt, etc.) it doesn’t matter what color, for bottoms he normally wears pants. Shoes are just sneakers.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Markings/Tattoos/Scars/Etc:</span> Has a small black tattoo of a crow with it’s wings spread out on the left side of his neck, just beneath his ear. Has several scars along his body, the significant ones being four long ones along his right shoulder blade, almost as if a big cat had scratched him.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Voice:</span> Has a rather mournful sounding voice, lost and empty, making one WANT to try and comfort him. However it is strongly contrasted when he is angry, becoming sharp and cruel, and rather scary too.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Wings:</span> Has large black wings reminding one of an angel’s wings. He can make them appear and disappear at will.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">Tengu Appearance:</span> His skin becomes covered in short black feathers, his nails become claws, and he gains a tail. His face loses its human appearance, and becomes like a crow, complete with a sharp grey beak. A hexagonal ruby red jewel forms on his forehead, right between where his eyebrows would be. His ears become feathery tufts, and his hair also turns into black feathers.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Personality:</span></span> His personality is completely unpredictable. No one knows what mood he will be in, nor can usually read what he is thinking... He keeps to himself for the most part, being unsociable, due to what he is. He thinks of his being a curse, and thus lashes out whenever someone tries to get to know him. Deep down he is lonely, but he knows that because of how he is, it is unlikely any will ever TRY to get to know him and get close enough for him to open up.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">History:</span></span> TBR<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Saying: "Something in me is breaking.
