Details

Voice: Travis Willingham

Personality:

Antisocial | Angsty Teenager for life | Paranoid | Self deprecating | Lonely

Baeric is an interesting stag with a long history that covers most of his quirks. Obsessed with his work and studies the stag is half mad. His outwardly appearance tricks most and many who happen to encounter him but anyone who hangs around often starts to see the dark, unsettling quirks that he has. To most he just appears to be a grouch which should be unusual itself since he's still in his prime as far as stag's go. However when no one is looking he is often the victim of violent and paranoid outbursts that send most of the forest creatures scampering away to hide. He also has a rather terrible habit of talking to himself. These conversations are not just little mumbles but sometimes full blown conversations as if someone else is there. He even gets into arguments with himself!

In his youth, the stag rather enjoyed watching creatures he possessed harm themselves but as he's grown has left this phase behind him. Possession of smaller creatures is still something he enjoys, don't think he doesn't still do that, but he often uses them for some sort of purpose.
However his heavy sarcasm and rather dry sense of humor has stuck with him even to this day. Conversations often end awkwardly which has ensured that he rarely makes friends. It doesn't help either that his paranoid outbursts are often aggressive and anyone in his way can sometimes be wounded if not killed. It's that fact alone that keeps him distant from other Fawnlings and unfriendly.

Thanks to his paranoia, trust is a concept this stag has never truly understood. Over the long, lonely years his stone heart has started to crack a little. He has started to entertain the idea of trying to make a friend or at least make an acquaintance before his time in the Blackwood is over. His only true companion is a thus far has been in the form of a lone raven. She almost seems to haunt him, mock him and appears when he find himself noticing the silence around him. He has attempted more than once to possess the foul bird but at this point in his life he isn't sure if she is a figment of Úir sent to torment him or a real bird.

Magic, his greatest skill, is the source of his immense ego and pride. His possession skills, which are his most powerful, are his most favorite to use. While he used to enjoy making his victims bury themselves when he was done with them he has...started to grow out of this phase. In an attempt to slow his already terminal insanity he only uses possession when he most needs it. However the trophies from his younger days are still things he loves and displays with pride. Some skulls he has even started to modify in order to wear them.

Since his battle with the ice bear, Baeric has been much more cautious and considerate when using his magic. He has begun to focus more and more on his herbal lore in order to expand his great knowledge. Because of his great need he has become very focused and almost obsessive when it comes to his studies. He finds few excuses for distractions and is sometimes so focused he forgets to eat or drink! He has been trying to focus less on the Raven that continues to haunt him on a daily basis by devoting himself to his work.

The idea of a family does cross the stags mind on occasion but he usually squashes those thoughts by the sheer fact that he doubts a doe would ever wander into his territory. While he knows that he is, in fact, perfect in just about every way when it comes to his great magic, he is not sure a doe would see such greatness in him as he is not as heavily built as most other stags.

Fears: Bae will claim he's not afraid of anything but he does have some...they're just very deeply hidden. For one, he FREAKS out over spiders that are considered 'large'. Larger than an apple is his limit. He also fears his raven poltergeist and the return of the Ice Bear..
Strengths: Bae is very logical when it comes to his thinking. He goes about it all with common sense and a calm attitude.


Appearance:
Baeric is thin as far as Fawnlings go but still built. However he is muscular in a way that doesn't show brute strength but that he's hes a more agile and quick Fawnling. During rut he is a bit 'beefy' as his hormones kick in but otherwise he is thin enough to see a little rib (something that isn't helped by his lack of eating). He has plenty of scars though all the minor ones are hidden under his pelt. More serious ones lie along his his shoulders and chest while a few more decorate his ribs. The battle with the Ice Bear left it's mark as well, these laying over the left side of his face. The scars have left him partially blind and partially deaf on this side. His deafness isn't as obvious though his slightly cloudy eye gives away his condition.

History:
Baeric was the happy son of two proud Blackwood parents who had long wished to have a child of their own. From the start Baeric was testy and ill mannered but also insanely curious. When he wasn't running off and exploring he was devotedly at his mothers side. The two were close, down right impossible to separate as he grew up. However when he started to realize he had a great magical ability things changed. It didn't help that he announced the grand news to his beloved mother by sending a mouse scampering up her tail. The doe nearly died of fright but was pleased none the less.
The young stag soon left his mothers side to pursue his magical study though his break from home was aided by the birth of his new brother. Feeling a bit....abandoned the young stag threw himself into his studies.

He often over did things and strained himself past his limits. His mentor warned him that if he continued to do so he would head down a path he could not turn back from. Still ever obsessed with becoming the perfect witch he ignored his mentors warnings and continued his work. His work began to crack his sanity and when that started his mentor gave him up. However Baeric wasn't discouraged and continued to practice on his own.

By the time he was 8 things changed. His sanity was started to break and the herd knew it. He was asked to leave which he took no offense in. He felt this old herd mates were holding him back and in breaking away he felt a fresh breathe of freedom. He moved deep into the Blackwood where he found a small territory to call his own. It was here he set up a small home and continued to obsess over his magical talents. It was shortly after his move that the Raven that haunts him to this day appeared. At first he thought it was chance, a stray bird who was curious. Now, however, he feels she may be some sort of dark servant of Úir. Then again, perhaps it was just his own mind letting him know he was finally insane?

During his "teenage" years Baeric only grew more and more obsessed with his magic. He began to push his limits again by trying to posses larger and larger creatures. He even tried, on a few occasions, to posses multiple creatures at once. Upon hearing rumors of a great Ice Bear he decided to see just how great his powers had grown and headed out to find the beast. He traveled through the Blackwood and into the mountains as he tracked the bear. Unfortunately for Baeric, his chose target turned out to be a massive female with new born cubs. Arrogant, the stag didn't realize that because of this the bears resistance to his magic was much higher and so he failed.
A battle quickly ensued and it was only when he was near death he found the focus to take control of their bear. Once he had her under his power he sent her rushed off a cliff side. He watched as she tumbled below to her death before turning his malicious anger on the cubs. He pitted the young ones against one another and left once the infants were as doomed as their mother. The battle left him 'magically crippled' and once he took a few trophies from the bear and the scene he hurried home to recover and become even more a recluse.

Since that battle Baeric has become overly paranoid and defensive. While his power continues to grow the stag refuses to leave his territory in fear of running into another great beast. Perhaps it's guilt that haunts him? The death of the cubs and their mother sawing on his insanity and making the stag watch his every step. He hates the memory of that day just as much as he loves the pelt he walked away with. He only uses his magic on creatures he can know he can handle but, sadly, his acute fears have often ended in those animals dying. His list of victims has grown significantly since that day and it's yet another thing that darkens his ledger.
 
As he has matured into more of an adult, Baeric has started to find himself a touch lonely. Perhaps it is due in part to his more relaxed use of his black magic or simply the fawnlings age, he can not say. While he tries to busy his damaged mind with his studies he often finds himself dreaming of being apart of a herd once more and even, on the rarest of occasions, having a family.

However the constant sighting of the raven keeps the stag from daring to attempt such things. He fears that she is a sign of his increasing insanity and that he is still too dangerous to be around others. On top of this, finding a doe who would be tolerate him long enough to bare his child seems to be something as impossible as regaining his sanity. Still, the stag secretly keeps an eye out for any passing fawnlings and hopes, though he'll deny it, that perhaps they would give him a chance...

How might Bae interact with your fawnling:

Blackwood stags: Bae fears most stags seeing as many remember him and consider him a 'lunatic'. When approached by one he doesn't know he will be submissive, shy and probably not talk too much. He will try to remove himself from their presence when ever possible. If threatened however, he will stand his ground and fight. Not with physical strength of course but with his magic.
        - Stags wishing to be his student: Bae has been approached before to be a mentor to stags. He doesn't like to tutor them because use of his powers at all is seen as dangerous in his eyes. Stags will have to be adamant and determined to convince him to teach them.

Blackwood Does: Does also intimidate Bae but for a different reason. Having never been with a doe he is painfully shy and will keep his head bowed to her out of respect unless otherwise instructed. He is a bit of a wuss and if she were to request anything from him he would give it to her without question. He is very self loathing and will often talk himself down if given any sort of comment by a doe.

Outsider Stags: Bae is generally aggressive when it comes to obvious outsiders. Seeing as he is not physically impressive he will try and scare intruders with his magicial prowess before attempting a physical assault.

Outsider Does: Again, does are treated with respect from Bae though he is more brash and forward with outsiders. He will often make obvious points that they don't belong in the Blackwood and encourage them to go home. He will also try to avoid them or even ditch those who may try to follow him for whatever reason.

Scathach

He had been convinced he would live and die alone, a sour stain of nothing, a waste of Uir's magic but...then he met her. The doe that, in a single year, turned his life into an empty rerun into something he...looked forward to. He no longer dragged himself through the days wishing it would just end but rather woke each day excited and wanting to face the world...because she was in it. Besides the daughter they share together, there is nothing more important or as loved in his life than Scath. He now fears the day Uir calls him back only because it means he'll have to be separated from her.

Bathory

His precious angel, his entire world...Bathy is everything to Baeric. Never in his life did he think he had the capacity one individual like he does Scath but two? He is overwhelmed by the very sight of her and would swim oceans or scale mountains for her. He dotes on her constantly and is INSANELY protective of her and Scath both. you do not touch his babies Bc

Duvessa

His son...his pride and joy (shared with Bathy of course). Baeric still can't believe his old heart could handle so much love in his life. He is determined to be a perfect father to the little shadow and hopes he can live up to his own expectations.

Dalor

The little water ratmouse that he found and brought to Scath as a....gift of sort he supposes. It wasn't intentional of course but Scath adores the small creature so he tolerates him. Only tolerates since the little lost oakie is terrified of him.

Lyra| Filly| Blackwood

A young doe who found Bae quite by mistake, the stag has found himself in the position of being her magical mentor. He does so hesitantly, determined not to really use any of his own magic but teach her with words.

Arik the Grim

Arik is the first Fawnling that Bae has seen in almost 2 decades. The doe is a little...odd to him though that could also be because he hasn't been social in two decades either! She's been...an interesting companion so far though and not that he will admit it? He doesn't really want her to leave just yet. He's been much more lonely than he realized.

Aatami | Stag | Warrior

Baeric met this stag when he was just a tiny colt. Their encounter was brief and Baeric is ashamed when he recalls the faint memories. He did his best to terrify the colt, an idea now that brings him great sorrow. 

Scythos

Scythos was Baeric's old magic mentor. He hasn't seen the stag since he was a teenager and for a long time didn't care. Now that he is recovering from his madness however he realizes the old man was only trying to protect him from himself. He regrets a lot of the harsh words he spat at his old mentor and hopes he is still well.

Datur

Datur was Baeric's childhood rival and bully. This young stag was not only extremely strong but his magical prowess made him infamous. Ever competitive as a youngster, Baeric often went against him with negative results.
