<center>..Rules and Guidelines for this Thread..</center>
This is a diary thread to be used by the Caretaker in order to keep track of his/her CoS's development and evolution. This thread should not actually be used for roleplay, but rather OOC posts, CoS-related images, roleplay notes, and other things of that nature.

..General/Technical Information..

This is the more technical information on Errai. Firstly, the description she originally had/has from the flatesale - then information on her earth element; Nepheline. Lastly, there is some lengthy (and wordy!) info on Errai, her star.

.. Errai ..
Gender: Female
Base Characteristics: extrovert, intuitive, mystical, emotional.

Possible Strengths / Weaknesses: By her very nature, Errai is always loving, creative, and confident in herself. This never varies no matter what is happening about her. However, Errai has difficulty separating reality from fantasy and illusions. Being of about average intellect, she often misperceives events and circumstances, and feeds back misinformation. She has difficulty understanding new ideas and concepts, and often takes awhile before she can comprehend things. In this state of being she can easily be mislead by others. Errai is always capable of offering love, loyalty, and commitment to those in her life. When she finally discovers a greater wisdom in herself, she can become a powerful teacher and seeker of truth. </center>

<center>.. Element Information - Nepheline ..</center>
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/lolifreak/Errai/Nepheline.jpg" align="left">Chemical Formula: (Na,K)AlSiO4
Composition: Molecular Weight = 146.08 gm
Potassium 6.69 % K 8.06 % K2O
Sodium 11.80 % Na 15.91 % Na2O
Aluminum 18.47 % Al 34.90 % Al2O3
Silicon 19.23 % Si 41.13 % SiO2
Oxygen 43.81 % O
Environment: Silica-poor igneous rocks.
IMA Status: Valid Species (Pre-IMA)
Locality: Magnet Cove, Magnet Cove, Ouachita Mountains, Hot Spring County, Arkansas, USA. Link to MinDat.org Location Data.
Name Origin: From the Greek nephele, "cloud," because it becomes clouded when put in strong acid.
Appearance: white, grey, brown with a greasy/dull luster.

Nepheline is very reactive to acids, but it will not bubble like other carbonates. If powdered, it will dissolve in hydochloric acid. If clear specimens are dipped in acid, they will become cloudy or frosted. This helps distinguish Nepheline from similar looking feldspars.

Information gathered on Nepheline found here, among a few other places.

<center>.. Star Information - Errai ..</center>
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/lolifreak/Errai/tnNS2339p7737-dss-1954.jpg" align="left">The star Errai (Scientific Name Gamma Cephei) is located at right ascension 23h 39.347m and declination 77° 37.950'.

Errai is a relatively dim star with a magnitude of 3. It is of the spectral class K1III-IV.

It has an Hd number of 222404, an FK5 number of 893, and a SAO number of 10818. The Errai or Gamma Cephei binary system is located about 45.0 light-years from Sol. It lies in the east central part (23:39:20.8+77:37:56.2, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Cepheus, the King and father of Andromeda -- southeast of Polaris (Alpha Ursae Minorus), northeast of Pi Cephei, Alfirk (Beta Cephei), Alderamin (Alpha Cephei), and the Garnet Star (Mu Cephei); north of Omicron, Iota, and Delta Cephei, and Caph (Beta Cassiopeiae); and east of Kappa Cephei. In the venerable Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning, Richard Hinckley Allen noted that its name Errai (or Er Rai) comes from Al Rai, "the Shepherd," a title of Arabia. Errai is an orange-red star of spectral and luminosity type K1-2 IV-IIIe, with CN 1. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/lolifreak/Errai/untitled.bmp" align="right">Spectroscopically, it appears to be "more typical" of a giant star rather than a less evolved subgiant (Bohlender et al, 1992; and Walker et al, 1992). The star may have 1.6 times Sol's mass, around 4.7 to 8.2 times its diameter, and 8.2 times its visual luminosity. Errai A is an orange-red star that is much larger and brighter than Epsilon Eridani, at left center of meteor (picture). The star appears to be from 89 to 186 percent as enriched as Sol with elements heavier than hydrogen ("metallicity" wink , based on its abundance of iron. It exhibits "quite weak" chromospheric activity. Errai A may only be around three billion years old -- less than Sol's 4.6 billion years -- having evolved faster from a high mass than Sol, as possibly a much hotter, bluish white spectral type A star like Altair.

..History on Earth..

The first part of this post is something of a timeline; newest events ontop. The latter half is a more detailed, broader story sort of history - up until Errai and Ahnna are settled in with each other. (Which, as of now, has yet to happen)

12/09/04 - Ahnna discovered the 'shiney rock.' She hasent realised the importance it holds; and instead, Errai's first true communication is with another COS, Betelgeuse.

09/09/04 - 'Recieved' Errai, Though, I didnt quite know it till a few days later. wink

..Relationships..

Ahnna - Her caretaker. She hasent learned how to do anything with her aside from basic communication. She very easily frustrates the human, unintentionally of course - but insists that Ahnna and her already have a wonderful bond. Whether or not she is mistaken, Errai cares for her deeply - and Ahnna is bound to care for the SunChild whether she likes it or not at times.

..The Discovery..</center>

Hello?
The woman was often going where she shouldent. Often. She was quite an oblivious sort, not seeing that which wasent pointed out to her - and had never known of the preasance of such.. curious things. Crystals, from the stars? People lending their sences to them? She was walking about in their preasance, and would of never known, if not for random fate.

The night/day was getting cold, and as she brought her jacket closer to her body she turned around on her path. She muttered to herself, almost bitterly, but her attentions were silenced and renewed all at once as she noticed the stars. "Mighty active... tonight." She whispered to herself, she could of sworn something just fell down. Fell down from.. up there. With a shake of her head, she turned back to her path home, but then it happened again.

The mossy hue of stone was barely visable as it raced down into the earth, embedding itself into grass and dirt. If she hadent been watching that bush just so, at just the right time, she probably would of never seen it...
But she had. "What.. the.."

The stone had shot through the atmosphere much faster then intended. She had decided to be brave, other's had come - they had "conquered" earth, or so it would seem, and she could too, coulden't she?

The question of bravery took backseat to the more pressing... matter, however. The stars, her coveted twinkling stars and beautiful sparkling world had melted into the lush green of earth. She had planned to seek out the others, those of her kind once she had arrived - what she didn't plan was her form.

Bewilderment overtook her. Then curiousity and frustration - and in little time... loneliness. Time became a cursed thing, as she lay there in this... this grass. She had no eyes to examine the strange planet she sparsely felt around her, and no voice to call out to it. She had no fingers to stroke against the textures of the world about her, and no ears to hear the birds overhead. Or did she?
Though it took her a considerably longer time then the others, she eventually discovered her one salvation. Telepathy.

"H...Hello?" The voice, which began in an experimental tone flattened out. It became bold, and yet non-interruptive; confident and curious.
