Welcome to Gaia! ::

Short Summary of their plotline:
~Azrael is the Dragon Without A Flame, he has been searching for a mare that would fit his need.
~Thera lost in a strange land is filled with guilt at surviving the destruction of Annu and blames herself for the deaths of all those who called the island home.
~The two meet, Thera is what Azrael has been searching for, a mare who could bring fire back into his blood line.
~Thera believes that having a child will chase away the shadows of the past.
~So when the two meet again, she agrees to his terms, promising to give up one of her children to him when the baskets arrived.

-----
~Ryuu and I thought it would be interesting if she gave birth to twins and have the evil twin do something bad someplace and then when the good twin arrived in an area near there, get blamed for the other twins actions. Since neither twin would know that they were a twin, it would be an interesting plot to have.

What are their Parents Personalities?
Mother:
Thera is the embodiment of fire: fierce, independent, untamed, and fiery. She is constantly moving and filled with vivacious energy. This may make her seem young and impetuous, but she is actually the opposite. She is calm, wise, and understanding. The mare is a contrast between her two selves, the fire and the water; certain aspects of her personality take on the characteristics of the elements. She can be tranquil and tempestuous, fiery and serene. When she is dedicated to a task, she places her full attention on the achievement of a goal. She is loyal to those she considers her friends and would do anything to protect them. Thera’s heart has room for many, but there is only one who she loves with her whole heart and soul. They were separated from each other when Annu was destroyed by the volcano, Thera is unsure if her true mate had survived the decimation and so she continues to search Kawani looking for the one she loves.

Deep down she feels that she is a destroyer, that no matter what she does, she will cause death and destruction to those that she loves, for that is what she was raised to believe. She is the destroyer, the decimator of life, the bringer of death, while Cassia is the rebirth of life, and together they are whole.

Father:
Azrael is evil. However, he is not cruel. On the contrary, many would consider him gentle and polite. Logically speaking, he finds it to be a lot more beneficial to be kind (soq are less likely to want to harm him, and more willing to help; and, as herd creatures, he relies on a soq's natural altruism) -- he is only evil in the sense that, once he finds it's no longer to his benefit, he can (and will) turn on a dime. (This is not to say he is "pretending" when he's being nice, as his actions are quite genuine; only that that behavior is conditional on certain factors.) He is very frank about his intents (again, doesn't want a bunch of soq to think badly of him. He travels often so it works to his advantage to have friends in many areas, rather than enemies) and will not lie; if they breed, he will make it clear that he does not intend to stay and that he will take a basket with him. Gives the appearance of having a carefree attitude. Physically strong; he was trained since birth to serve as a loyal guard for his father, Lazarus.

Do the parents have professions?
Mother: Priestess of the Great Phoenix Mother
Father: Guard for his father Lazarus

Link to RP(s) where something happens of importance: The Dragon Without A Flame -- its not an rp but a background plot.

Thera is lonely, she constantly blames herself for the deaths of all those on Annu and believes that having children will distract her from the memories of the past. Truth be told, she is not ready to be a mother, but she does not see any other way to escape from the darkness and despair within her own heart. She hopes that if she has children to love it will make the loss of Cassia easier to bear.

Enter Azrael, the Dragon Without A Flame, they chat he learns about her history, her desire to have a child to rid herself of the loneliness she feels. She is fire, she is what he has been looking for, they part ways, but he keeps tabs on her. They meet again and he talks to her about his offer and his intentions to keep a basket, in her desperation to be happy, Thera agrees to his terms.

What is their family dynamics?
One child will go to dad to be raised as he and his father, Lazarus, desires and one will go to mom to help rid her of her loneliness. (In the event of a third child, there will need to be a discussion and a choice made by the owner of the baby)

Traditions: Will vary for each parent.
Herd/Family culture: Will vary for each parent. Children will not be raised together.
Mother will travel teaching those about the Great Phoenix Mother and search for her lost love, while the Father will return to his own father and take one of the baskets with him.
Religious Beliefs:
-- Thera believes in the Great Phoenix Mother, the goddess of death and rebirth, the circle of life. Thera was raised to believe that she herself represented one of the faces of the Goddess, death and destruction, while her love Cassia represented Rebirth.

-- Azrael is part of a family and herd that believe in draconic superiority. He does not buy into the belief himself, but he may follow it subconsciously (he was treated as more superior than his siblings due to his draconic traits so it's easy for him to fall into such habits).
