I Am Atvana

Serenai's picture


Music is meant to be heard...






My character is named Atvana, after an entity in one of my novels.

It uses this color (#ad8200) to speak.

The mind is a powerful thing, and with full use of it one can do things that have only been dreamed. Its words are occasionally manifested in sound, but can also resonate through the air as energies, as thought, and still be understood. Its words can grow as flowers and vines, stir the trees as wind. One must only listen, and one will learn to hear.




Novel Background


In my novel, Atvana is more commonly referred to as the Forest Spirit. The name "Atvana" in itself refers to that name, seeing as it is a combination of the Hindi words/terms "Atman" (the Hindi word for the soul/true self which is of a divine, worldly, Godly, joyous, and blissful nature) and "vana" (the Hindi word for "forest"). Thus, divine spirit of the forest.

Atvana is benevolent (its purpose is to help the humans, animals, and plants it encounters), omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. It is genderless, as it is a manifestation of God (as I believe all things are) without a defined physical form. It can take the form of anything, but regularly sticks to animals and plants. It loves to play, and more often than not takes the form of smaller animals and/or plants, due to its subtle nature. Do not misunderstand though, as it is infinitely powerful. I believe that power comes from the capability of doing all forms of harm, and the reality of doing all forms of good.




In The Forest


Atvana is a manifestation of divine with the power to do, literally, anything.
That said, its actions relating toward others can only be brought into effect voluntarily.
By the mechanisms of its function and complexities of its nature, others will react in an infinite amount of ways.

It loves all and will not fight without defined meaning, and only very, very rarely play fight. While fighting, it feels nothing but love for the opponent.


Its personality is childlike in the sense that it is always curious, always looking at the world with fascinated eyes.
It plays often, in many ways, and never means to offend. It is very loyal to whom it meets, and will often stay manifested just for them.

It watches over all other beings and things, as a protecting parent, sibling, friend.


It holds no enemies, no hatred. Every wrong committed is immediately forgiven. It loves too much to do anything else.

It can see misery, hatred, jealousy, and all other negatives that are sometimes trapped in others. It will always desire happiness for all beings.
It will make attempts to rid others of issues that go against them. It will never stop trying to help a soul with a problem to rid themselves of it.
It cannot stop helping, as it cannot stop loving.


It can heal anything, if the being allows it.
This may be a conscious or unconscious will to not accept a healing.
It is also possible that a healing at that time would go against the highest good of all involved.

It does not have a single duty. It manifests to promote the highest good of all of those involved.
Through this diverse need, it comes in an infinite number of forms, some with a tiny defined task, others far less direct.
Some of these forms are recurring, others are only present once. Each could, perhaps, be mistaken for an identity of its own, a deity, a soul.
In truth, the name "Atvana" is just another of these mistaken forms. It is not merely Atvana. It is everything.


Atvana loves:
Everything. It is all things.
It is the sky, the Earth, the seas.
It is the galaxies, the cells.
It is the Universe.
It is you, and it is I. It is all things.
It loves all things. Never ceasing. Always present.


It can be found...

Hallows,
Yes, yes it does. I can't hardly believe it, to tell you the truth. Happy late new year! >_>

Day4,
It's beautiful! Thank you so much, my dear! I should make an entry for fan art. I love to flaunt all of its beauty. c: <33333333

Rakkaus,
*Infinite nuzzles.* Beat that. >_>

Ffff. *Returnlovesmother.*

Alecsander,
Feels more like a gift smother, really. ._. <333

Still, Basil fatting on fawnvana? Priceless. What's funny is that "fawnvana" means fawn forest. That sounds like a happy day for Basil. As long as it was silent. I mean, if a fawn moos in a forest, and Basil is around to hear it, then that kind of sucks.

Yes, that was a bad reference to the philosophical question about trees.

Zeekii, By golly, yes I am! I

Zeekii,
By golly, yes I am! I took a week long break from electronic communication to recenter myself. Sadly, I didn't get to warn everyone beforehand. Also, the forest and the community seem to be waning in my interest. I, of course, will still come on, but I'm trying to get out a little. Live life, I suppose. What I do know is that I'm very happy. c: How are you, love?

Day4,
*Repeats first sentence from passage above.* <3 It's good to be back, dear. It's good to see you're doing well. Yes?

It lifts its head from watching the pond, meeting Dehy's eyes with a knowing smile. Vines grow over the corner, spelling out truth.

I never left, my friend.

The smile never fades.


P.S. Love, could you be so kind as to do me a favor? At the start of your next reply, could you put a < /color> or [ /color] (whichever you used for our little bleeding heart up there xD ) to return the colors to homeostasis? I believe this will work. If that post above still lets you edit it, though, that'd surely be easier. <3 Thanks, love.

Hallows,
And I you! Ah, what a late New Year's wish I gave. >_> <33333 ...ah...how late my Christmas presents are going to be. ._.

Alecsander,
And it is amused beyond all reason. Also, he'd be happy to.

Day4,
I laughed. > >

Kaoori,
I believe so. The dancing tower? That was great fun to watch. <3

Ah, I see. Well, it's up to you if you need to take a break or not, and whether or not you decide to warn everyone. I'm just glad to hear that you're ok! It's understandable that you want to get out more, and live life while you can, if you are very happy, I'm very happy for you too c:
I'm very well too thank you. Its been snowing here in England and I've been off school since Tuesday! Unfortunately, I'm back in tomorrow, but I dont want to go haha. I want to see my friends, but that's about it...especially with having a Chemistry exam on Thursday. Bah.

Zeekii, Wow. I didn't see

Zeekii,
Wow. I didn't see your reply. D: I'm glad Day4 came in and refreshed here so I saw it! cc: Yus. I'm establishing a new, more healthy routine in life. And it's proving to be rewarding. o: c: Plus I still get to talk to you all, so that's a bonus~

I start my new semester Tuesday, the nineteenth. Ugh. Tomorrow is my last free day. xD That's bound to be both interesting, and to just suck terribly. xD

Good news is, it started raining today and it's supposed to all week! It's been so long... It's rained two days out of the year since...May? Yeah, something like that. *Stark staring mad!*

But rain, ah rain. <3


Day4,
Thank you, my dear! That makes things much easier for both us, and our eyes. It's a pretty color, but in small doses. ;D <3~

Zeekii,
FFFF HAI. I'm doing awesome! We've had stormy weather for a few days. That's my absolute favorite. I am truly ecstatic. CCC: I have settled into a routine, and I'm actually online quite a bit. It's just a matter of catching you now. ;D I do miss you as well. I see you got one of those nifty run cycles. I wanted one, but you know me. I'm dreadfully shy, and plus since I'm not as active figured I didn't need one. xD

c: Have a good nap! I may still be here when you get back. c:

I should have expected that!

The infinite curved inward, like a smile. Manifests at a crescendo, a point of strength. Crescendo, yet equal in all places, but still so intense.

To smother love itself with love is quite a feat, young Rakkaus.

It smiles, closing its eyes, letting out a little laugh.
