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...

That mini is one of my characters named Buttons, the one with the great argus pelt, beluga antlers (if that's their name, can't remember) and whistle mask. I laughed hard when that zombie stag scared Buttons and Atvana was like, "Caw!Caw!Caw!Caw!Caw!Caw!Caw!CAW!".

Munkel,
I miss you too. My laptop is being sent in for repairs. And I sort of moved out of my house for the moment. And a thousand other things. I'm in the computer lab at my college now. I hope we get to talk again soon.

VCG,
Thank you very much! Yes, I do certainly remember our encounters. This biography is actually in the slow process of a complete alteration, rewrite, all that, so you've got to see the "before" which is around a year old. Hopefully the "after" is all the more stunning, as I have learned much.
Again, thank you. ♥

Ysrael,
Ah... It's... Adolescent. I'm more interested in it for what it brought me than what it says, ultimately. It needs complete rewriting. Which I have neither the time nor inclination for recently. > >
That is good. That was a... Goal, if there were any. I suppose that was a valuable point to be seen, are the proper words for it. I appreciate that you can see that. It's reassurance.

Alecsander,
I haven't even gotten to making your things in return for the last, let alone sending them. You'll have me swimming in guilt! D:
I'll still have access to that house. c:

That certainly seems to be an issue. Not very resilient sushi-fish--yet.

The irony of this could kill me. I have a collection of seashells that, since I got that room re-made, I've had nothing to do with. No kidding. This is awesome. xD

Sorry for the late replies, but I've been rather busy. ♥

Ah, I understand what you mean by that. I have many such stories and ideas that are tucked away amongst my belongings. They were never meant to be read, but the experience of writing and creating them has always stuck with me.
And I am glad. ♥ You've done a magnificent job creating a character that so easily communicates on an emotional level.

Ah, it's just dandy. I know

Ah, it's just dandy. I know what you mean. I'm not even living in my house at the moment. xux

This... Is meant to be read, someday, by close friends. Or it was when I wrote it. Now, I've improved so much, it's almost embarrassing. I'll just have to see what happens to it.

Thank you very much. I can only hope with the incoming modifications (that I talk so much about and yet have now even begun to work on) that such things only improve, though I know they shall, I've learned so much in the year since this was created. About it, even. ouo

Take as long as you need to reply, if you want to reply at all. Do not worry. c:

Speaking of which, I have an RP in here I need to reply to still. And have needed to reply to for months... > >'

This biography is long due for some revamping, which is progressing very slowly.

The character... Ah, I'm always learning so much about it. Its biography is only ever a slim portion of what I know--it's impossible to explain with details in any general fashion. It's very... Personal, so any descriptions I give of its true nature are one-on-one. This is really just a general outline. -u-

Nonetheless, thank you again. c:
