May 28, 2011 - 12:54am — Rutilus
your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
the piper's calling you to join him
dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know?
your stairway lies on the whispering wind...
Musings
27/11/11
MENTAL: Embarrassed, affectionate, playful
PHYSICAL: 100%
ACTIONS: Awoke as a Nutcracker. Found Kody...perched up in a tree, and then realised Demon was nearby. Went to her instead. Spellspamming time! Whined and glued himself to her when the Real Deer antlers appeared on her. Nomming and nibbling time! Started going through pelts to see what he had, and ended up naked. Ashamed/humiliated, hid himself in a tree. Flushed and huffed when Demon didn't seem to mind. At all. Eventually felt brave enough to stop hiding around her, but not around others. Went bolting looking for IX, only for him to disappear. Saddened. Sat down. Demon gave him the Long pelt. Purred at her. Had to leave.
The Keeper
Identification?
You have heard that it goes by this sign...but you know that it has other names. Keeper, Guide, Guardian, Piper.
'The creature was a large thing; quite a great deal bigger than most horses. Its body was muscular, but not overly-so, and thin-furred. Laid peacefully against its sides and back, however, were two large and eagle-esque wings, meant for soaring, rather than quick takeoff or sharp turns. Its face was almost flat, with a beak resembling a barn owl's, and two eerily wide mouths. Round eyes were set in the creature's face. Its ears were not easily seen.'
You have been told that this creature has hooves upon its front legs, and clawed talons on the hind legs.
It does not appear to have a tail, they say.
An interesting thing they inform you of, however, is that in this forest, the creature's wings are no more, and all of its legs end in hooves.
Its voice, they say, is gentle.
The Keeper's appearance changes frequently. His official set is the Zombie Pelt, Kabuki/Beluga Mask and Real Deer Antlers, but he is usually seen with other masks, antlers and pelts. Mostly he will be seen wearing the Kabuki Mask, Monarch Pelt and Kirin Antlers.
Behaviour?
As you listen to the others, you begin to discover more and more about this 'Keeper', and how it responds to the world around it.
They say that, on the one hand, it is...
+ empathic
+ patient
+ accepting
+ welcoming
+ protective
+ loyal
+ gentle
+ soft
+ freedom-seeking
+ dominant, or likes to be
But then, they say seriously, at times the creature can also be...
- cold
- distant
- secretive
- uncaring
- harsh
- violent
- jealous
- possessive
- even sexual or flirtatious
- submissive to certain others
- masochistic
You frown. This creature seems like an oddity.
Motivations?
They say that the Keeper brought himself to the Forest to watch over its residents. They say it might have been searching for a specific creature.
The Keeper does, however, have other creatures to motivate its actions.
Mentis; 'Master' - his creator. his captor. a source of nightmare, pain and pleasure. loves and hates.
Demon; 'Madam' - an alluring doe whose charm the Keeper finds itself powerless to. both his possessive nature and his affectionate one are revealed around this one. enjoys toying with. likes to make her jealous, only to of course crawl back to her at the end.
Jorogumo; 'Queen' - one of the first creatures that he ever encountered in the forest. often flushed and fidgety around. drawn to. snuggles. submissive to.
The Snowman; 'Miracle' - an innocent, curious creature. The Keeper finds it to be a source of question and little answers. intriguing nonetheless. protective of.
Kody; 'Dog' - an aggressive, irritable being as far as The Keeper sees. a source of entertainment and an outlet for aggression if need be. half-hates. seeks affection from. follows. likes to sneak up upon. somewhat possessive of. antlers change his behaviour towards the other greatly, however. perplexed by mood changes towards him.
'Red-Silver' - an annoyance. invader of personal space. triggers irritation.
Shineri; 'Ink' - dislikes due to her attack on him.
Umay - met during an attack and although she did not help defend him, Keeper appreciates that she also did not join the assault. likes.
Leviathann; 'Twist' - dislikes. feels treated him unfairly.
The Lich King; 'Helmet' - intrigued/awestruck by. drawn by antlers.
Starling; 'Little Crimson' - likes. quickly grew fond of. amused by. sweet towards.
IX - initially bitter towards due to his own possessive nature over Demon. warmed up to, however, once ready to forgive and decided IX would be a worthy ally.
Ravly; 'Bandage' - fairly neutral towards, however likes to size up.
Quirks
Other quirks and habits of the creature's have been observed by others and are as follows.
~ Drawn to those with the Kabuki mask, due to his love for it. Slightly narcissistic in this sense, but likes to study the tiniest changes in detail between various Kabuki masks.
~ Also drawn to those that wear no mask at all, though in a more negative manner. This may be due to his own fear/distaste for removing his own mask; he wishes to see the faces of those braver than him.
~ As mentioned, cannot stand having his mask removed, or a mask that does not cover the top half of his face. The reason for this most likely stems from the familiarity of wearing a mask in all forms that he commonly disguises himself in.
~ Attracted to the Real Deer antlers, and often cannot help but glue himself to those that wear it. These antlers seem to make him far more submissive to the bearer of them.
~ Despises the Twin Gods, but does not fear them at all. Generally avoids drawing close to the marble statues and De Drinkplaats because of the Gods' strong presence in these places.
~ Ashamed of having a Master and refuses to speak of him in this world.
~ Would be greatly humiliated and ashamed to be seen as belonging to somebody else, though females seem to be an exception to this.
~ The Fear emote is likely not a display of fear from The Keeper. It is almost always a show of submission. Coupled with the Sad emote he is likely showing shame for said submission.
~ Fear/Sad accompanied by a Bow is likely an apology.
~ Rear/Bow is his way of pointing, be it in a direction or at a specific deer or object.
~ His transformation forms are not what they appear. So far it has been discovered that his Frog form is a Yellow Rat Snake and his Crow form is a Clarks Nutcracker.
~ In bird form he does not fly. He can, but chooses not to.

If sheer violence could kill
No, The Keeper needs to find another way to vanquish him. A way that, sadly, does not exist.
Unless, of course, The Core Theory is correct.
♥! Unfortunately for
Unfortunately for The Keeper, he knows next to nothing about The Slender Man. It's probably unwise of The Keeper to go after him - but a downside of The Keeper's personality is that once angered, he runs blindly on fury. Foolish, really.
Track. :')

Why must we listen to what they say? They can't know everything about The Keeper, can they? Does The Keeper keep to its self, keep secrets? But then how would the others know so much about it...
