Thanks to Meadow for the fawn-image! New image coming soon!
Nimbus
Pictogram: X
Age: Adult
Gender: Nimbus hasn't gotten around to having one. The pronoun to use is N, objective form N, Possessive form N's.
Species: Cloud-posessed TEF-Deer





The Physical
Nimbus, given that N inhabits the body of a normal human-faced deer of the Endless Forest, still mostly looks like a human-faced deer. However, N is noticably paler and N's coat more desaturated than the normal coloration; not quite white without the aid of magic, but will always be somewhat closer to a very light grey or a very dull white -- the grey-and-white pelt expresses his coloring very nicely, but then desaturate *that* a bit, too. Nimbus has large, heavy-lidded pale blue-grey eyes, and like the rest of N's face, they betray very little of N's feelings. N is very unexpressive, until you begin to learn the very subtle twists of N's face. N generally forgets to eat and so is very skinny, and even as an adult is short (albeit, not mini-short). However, most people who meet Nimbus would assume N is a little heavy -- due to N's fur being volumous, puffy, and curly, disguising his actual frame and retaining his natural cute-cloud look. N's antlers are the key antlers, and he doesn't do much with them, but the rounded, curly bits suit him well. Around N's ankles and legs are little tufts of cloud, which can expand outward as N likes. When N air-dances or air-sits, for example, those tufts become a full cloud N can rest on.
When N takes other shapes, it is because Nimbus has exited N's deer body and become a cloud again, so N looks like a little, puffy white cloud. Nimbus likely hides the deer body somewhere in N's center of mass. Best not dwell on the physics there.
The Past
Nimbus's full history is largely unknown; Nimbus is not, after all, a reliable narrator. Still, there are some events that concretely happened, just given the physical evidence. N was a cloud, who drifted over to the Endless Forest and decided to try the shape of a deer because it looked nice or significant (or some reason; N does stuff for N's reasons). However, N ended up drifting too far down, and for fear of dissipating like a morning fog, entered an empty deer-body that was lying around. Nimbus is not stuck in the body, but is stuck at an elevation no higher than the canopy, which poses a risk to him if he leaves the body for long or in good weather.

So I guess we're done acknowledging for the day... | The ripples look like my reflection, even when they break it. That's funny. I think... Deer may be like those ripples.

I think that my Aamukaste might've just played with Nimbus. =)
Nice to meet your cloud-deer.

Yup, that's definately Nimbus

Yup, that's definately Nimbus who's chilling with Aamukaste and co...
I'm sorry N's air-sitting has ended up with N's butt in her face. My aim is bad. I'm just going to assume Nimbus doesn't actually realize where N's sitting. It's pretty likely anyway.

That's okay. Aamukaste is way too fascinated about the floating fawn to really care about such small details. ; )

That is a wise idea; it's generally how Nimbus thinks, too.
I'll be back when my pictos spread again.... Stupid window-running issues.

We hope to see Nimbus again soon.

Likewise. I hope they can

Likewise. I hope they can become close. The endurance of my secondary characters is dependant on how many friends they have, so this is a great start!

The fawn with us is Liebesschmerz, played by Flyleaf, I think. She told me in Aamukaste's picture post.

Just if you wanted to know. =)

I do, actually,

I do, actually, thanks!
Nimbus was calling that fawn "Cicada" in N's head... I think N got a little scuffed up by that one stag, but N probably hasn't noticed yet.
