THE DAEMON MEME




a DAEMON is an animal that represents your character's soul in some way; the concept originates from Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.

HANDY WIKI LINK

Daemons are ALMOST ALWAYS the opposite gender of their person, and while their shape reflects their person's personality, they don't always agree with their person. Someone who seems stern might have a stern daemon... or they may have a boisterous one, showing a hidden side to them.

Children who haven't been through puberty have daemons that shapeshift, but they often have favorite forms.

SO

1. POST WITH YOUR CHARACTER.

2. If you know what their Daemon would be, tell us, and explain why! Is their preincarnation daemon any different than their reincarnation's? Why or why not?

3. If you're like WOW LAWL I HAVE NO CLUE then post asking for advice

4. RP stuff out! This is open to potential applicants as well for them to get a feel for their characters. Daemons are a great way to suss out personality traits.

WOO

Fenn Forster / Fai D Flourite

This one is fairly easy for me ^^ In his canon, at one point, Fai is given control of a Kudan, which is a sort of... god that bonds with each person in that world. IT'S REALLY WEIRD, but the point is, they sort of represent what kind of person you are the way a daemon does. Add that to all the 184738947582 times Fai is shown with bird/phoenix imagery, and the fact that the TRC group are obviously supposed to represent four elements (Fai = Wind, Kurogane = Ice/Water, Syaoran = Fire, OTHER Syaoran = Lightning, Sakura = Earth)... well, there it goes. Also he would probably jive well with the witches.

But since his Kudan is FREAKING HOUSE SIZED and phoenixes aren't an actual thing, I decided on a Nicobar Pigeon. This, this, this and this should tell you all about why. They're just that fabulous. Also, pigeons are clever and social birds, and I bet she'd be a lot more sensible than her human B|

IC that translates to...

[At first she seems almost like some sort of fashionable detail, because the young man himself is brightly dressed, like someone who likes drawing attention to himself. And while nondescript in shade, in sunlight her feathers dazzle with iridescence, a veritable rainbow of color which belie the more subtle coloration on such places which don't get displayed much. The white tail feathers peek out occasionally, glimmering like a hidden jewel.

You'd assume, from the look of it, that this is a shallow man and his shallow daemon, fixed only on appearances; the same which is often said in ill spirits about those with butterflies and the like by their side.

But perhaps something else is hinted at in the way she moves, dumpy little thing that she still is. She's not a picture of studied grace, not like the man at all, and when not perching on his person she seems just as content to run along on the ground as she is to fly. Her name is Nyssa, a name which doesn't sound like much, but the meaning of it is 'beginning'. And those eyes with their white iris framing the pupil, like the contrast between snow and earth... they don't seem to miss much, bright with curiosity and attention. So perhaps the surface is just that, a surface, and perhaps they both like it that way.]
