Link: https://www.sylestia.com/forums/?thread=108071&page=2#20 Author: Orcastration Time Posted: 1/27/2024 at 1:23 AM For Shiara- She grew up with what she considers a stereotypical family life- a slightly-overbearing home-cook mother, a fisherman dad who she inherited her hardworking attitude from, and an older brother (Shawn) who spends 90% of his time with his friends now that he's "a cool young adult doing cool young adult stuff" (Shiara's words, not his.) though she'd say they're decently close. She's grown up most of her life trying to aim high, partly because she likes it when her family applaud her work and partly because, well, why not? She's already here, might as well! And partly because her mother told her to. And really, that's it. She considers herself ordinary, minus the part where she overworks herself (but who doesn't Right? She's no the only one taht gets really into the stuff they're doing, right?)

Awesome, thank you!
Now, lets start...



You blink open your eyes, looking around your familiar bed room while the sun shines through your thin curtains. You hear your mother downstairs sternly talking to Shawn, who probably stayed out far too late last night for your mothers liking, but you also catch a whiff of fresh bread your mother has just baked, almost urging you to get out of bed from the sweet warm smell.

It has only been a few weeks since the Wolverines had made head lines on the weekly paper, which your mother was stressing over, of course. But your father basically had his face glued to that hefty newspaper for quite a while. From what you recall, the Elk Colony had found a new place to build up their city, which many Orca Colony citizens travelled to help with construction. Your mother had an earful for your brother when he decided not to go be a helping hand, which got him on serious house watch last week. But you knew he managed to sneak out a couple times from his clumsy way out of his window.

Shiara stretches and sighs, pulling back the covers. Might as well get up-the noise sure won't die down. She digs around for something decent to wear- preferably with pockets, and definitely something that can stand a bit of wear-it seems fairly nice out, so mayhaps she might be able to slip out for some nice fresh air, preferably near the water.

But first, breakfast. She's quite hungry, and that bread smells delicious. The moment she's put together enough to not look like a mess, she's headed down the stairs. She supposes she can be a bit nice to Shawn and get him a quick break from their mother's nagging.

Shawn looks towards you coming down the stairs, and gets up from where he's sitting in the kitchen even though your mother is still talking to him while facing the sink, peeling apples it looks like.
"Good morning my awesome, wonderful sister!" Shawn enthusiastically exclaimed, his arms waving above him.
"Shaw-" Your mother growls at him for suddenly ignoring her, only to be interrupted by your overly excitable brother who clearly has had little to no sleep, "Our EXTRAVAGANT mother is telling me how great of a son I am! Right mom?"
Your mother has no reaction other than a glare in his direction, before looking back at you. "Morning Shiara. I made bread, but it's still hot so you'll have to wait. There is some leftover soup I reheated on the stove however," Your mother nods towards the pot on the stove, "Your father also forgot to take some for lunch today, so If either of you could take some to him, that would be helpful."
Shawn nods and swivels towards the stairs, "Thanks Shiara for doing that!"
Before you have time to respond, he is already gone up the stairs in a hurry.

Shiara rolls her eyes at his retreating back. "Good morning to you too," she mutters, before greeting her mother properly. "Morning, Mom-I'll take Father's lunch on my way out. The bread smells delicious."

She decides to go for some soup herself, while waiting for the bread. A nice, warm breakfast beats out idiot brothers any old day.

"Thank you," Your mothers smiles towards you, "When you go out, just be watchful. Never know if one of those thugs will be around."
Your mother always tended to be paranoid, especially after what happened to the Elk Colony. But, the Orca Colony is much bigger and well prepared for an attack, and the Wolverines were observed always having a brand on their face, so it was highly unlikely for one of them to be in the city.

The Soup is delicious, filled with vegetables, grains, a hint of sage and chicken. A classic recipe that was passed down from your Grandmother.

Hey! I was just wondering if you saw my previous ping. I'm gonna give you a couple days to reply but I will have to pass on your slot to another person if I don't hear back!

Okay, got it!

Okay, here it is, do I need to add anything?

He grew up with his younger twin brother and his parents. His brother was far less worried and more impulsive than he was and would often be the one dragging him along on some adventure instead of the other way around. Time spent together was usually spent in the wilderness where he got some of his scars (the rest were from fighting) or talking into the night unless their parents knocked on the wall to tell them to quit talking as they both seemed to lack the ability to quietly whisper. They tried to keep their friend groups separate though after noticing one would always be in the shadow of the other and being mistaken for the other was unremarkably a common occurrence.
A friend introduced him to a guy who later became his best friend. A busy bee who likes dinosaurs and all the other creatures who existed before humans did. They were the one who designed his tattoos. Unfortunately, said person has gone missing after visiting the Elk Clan during the day of the attack. Worried, he wishes to confirm his friend's whereabouts.

Also can I change his skill in hunting to cooking?

"Of course," Shiara reassures her. "Thank you for the soup- it's delicious. I'll head out early and bring some bread with me for lunch, if that's alright," She'd like to get a good spot for some fishing, before the sun gets too high-fishing in the middle of the day at the hottest time was not the most idyllic to her. Once she's done eating, she'll get her neccesities and the lunches and head out.
