((I apologize once again and thank you all for your patience.
I did intend to wait only 1 week, but settling in to a different state for a semi-independent research project so soon after some family issues kept me away from the computer for any length of time, and I got it in my head that "when an email alert comes from at least one other judge, i'll log in to announce the winner".. Many weeks later, here we are... >.< Anyway! ))
The quality of entries made it incredibly hard to chose the winners! Thankyou to everyone for sharing your wonderful ideas; I enjoyed reading them all, and wish I could see all of your characters come to life!
Narrowing down to only 2 winning entries was nearly impossible, so I have chosen an owner for the basket I would have kept for myself as well... heart
Eldest child owner: Fea Line
Youngest child owner: Sapphire-Cyanide
Fea Line Basket Choice: Oldest Certing Information: Name: - If Female: Hatari - If Male: Kohkou Temper: One-word temper. - If Female: Quiet - If Male: Quiet Contest Entry: Gender chosen for Contest Entry: Male Personality Description: Kohkou is quiet and watchful. He rarely speaks and if he does its in a very soft tone of voice. Weather he is is silent because he is shy or just doesn't desire to speak is unknown yet, though he is quite content to be like his father. However, like his mother, his curiosity is strong and he often wanders into tight spaces or away from his family to investigate. He greets each new experience with a tilted head and a thoughtful quiet expression as he takes in everything his mind can absorb. He never wanders far from his family though, and even as an adult, he would still come around to check up on them. RP Entry: 3 Kohkou sat next to his father, as the two were enveloped in a sphere of silence. Neither two said a word as their eyes trailed across the horizon in sync. Father was always a quiet one....and this is where Kohkou felt most comfortable. He didn't exactly know why his father never talked yet, but it never seemed to bother him any. And it certainly didn't bother his mother, whom did enough talking for the entire family. Most times he was glad she did all the talking. It wasn't that he was shy, he just rarely preferred to speak. Oh yes, he would talk if spoken too, but it was in a very soft and gentle tone and he tended to gently laugh more than producing actual words. So when he was spending time with his Father... he was happy. One evening while he was off on one of his adventures, he happened across a quaint little thicket where another foal was playing with a squirrel. Because of his quiet demeanor, his presence went unnoticed for quite some time. But this never bothered Kohkou. A smile spread up from the corners of his lips and wrapped around his muzzle as he watched the Filly play. His eyes took in every movement she made, every twitch of the squirrel, every fling of their tails. His ears flickered to the delighted laughing she made and to the chattering of the squirrel. It wasn't until he shifted his weight, causing leaves to crackle beneath his hooves that the young filly turned her attention to him. At first she blinked, surprised she had company other than the squirrel. Kohkou's head tilted sideways as he gazed at her The filly's blue eyes sparkled and her face lite up. "Hi!" she greeted him with a girlish giggle as she gently scoffed a hoof against the ground. "Didn't see ya there, I'm Minari.... do you want to play?" she asked as she raised her front legs up playfully. Kohkou simply watched her, his head still tilted to the side, but his smile slowly returned. Shutting his eyes, he nodded his head and imitated her by raising his front legs off the ground as well. "Great!" the filly whinnied in delight as she pranced forward and gently nosed his shoulder with her muzzle. "You can be it!" she declared as she bounded a few feet away, her laughter filling the air. Kohkou stared at her. He wasn't a professional at playing tag, but he had watched his siblings and was confident he could mimic what they did. Rearing up again, he flailed his hooves at her before bouncing around in the leaves after her, the only sound coming from his body was the crunching of the leaves. It took the filly a few minutes to realize this, as her giggles were practically drowning out everything else. As he drew nearer, she leaped backwards a bit, soft pants rising and falling in her chest as her giggles began to slow. "Whats the matter.... don't you talk?" she grinned, not realizing her question was more than a silly taunt. Kohkou stopped and looked at her, his smile fading as he studied her face. he knew others didn't take silence well...and some even thought another equine weird for not talking. His ears slightly dropped as he cast his gaze to the ground and gently drug a hoof across the dirt and leaves, Tilting her head, the filly's smile faded as she gently took a step closer to him. Fearful that she may have upset him, she timidly leaned her neck closer and stared at him through large blue eyes. "Hey... I was only teasin' ... its..I didn't mean...." she paused, fumbling over her words, not wanting to make this any worse than she felt it already was. ".... You... can't talk can you?" Kohkou lifted his gaze from the ground, staring straight into her blue eyes. He hadn't meant to upset her either, and at her question he rigorously shook his head no. His mouth opened, prepared to speak, but he paused and no sound came out, as if the very words he were about to utter suddenly escaped him. His cheeks flushed as best as an equine's could as he took in a deep breath and attempted a second shot at explaining. The filly watched him carefully, her blue eyes shifting furiously from his mouth to his eyes to the rest of him. She watched as he struggled to talk, leaning forward on the tips of her hooves, straining to hear any word that might have dripped from his mouth, but there was nothing. Seeing his features as he tried to explain again, she let out another giggle. Smiling at the confused look he gave her, she inched forward and whispered softly to him. "You just don't like to talk much do ya?" she grinned. Relieved, Kohkou could do the only thing he could think of doing just then. With a smile, he nodded his head yes. "Well thats ok! I understand." she smiled and swished her tail. "You don't have to talk if you don't wanna!" she beamed as she leaped back a few paces. "But your still it!" she giggled again and bounded in a circle. Kohkou felt his smile growing wider and a funny tickle in the back of his throat as he managed to let out a very faint chuckle of his own, as he dashed after her, his ears pricking to the sound of the chattering squirrel over head. It was his way of saying.... thank you. Future Plots:None as of yet. I like to plot after I've had time to develop my pet's personality in RP as he or she grows because often something will happen that gives them a change of heart or mind. The only thing I can say is, when he/she is an adult, I would like them to find someone who would be able to draw his/herself out of their quiet shell and get them to open up a little more. Sapphire-Cyanide Aaaaaaah, such pretty baskets ;v; I never have any luck with these sort of story telling prompts no matter how much I write either.
Though I'd love to try out for them as my first Soq, I think I'll have to pass... I just can't seem to think of any sort of good plots I'd like for them to have in the future. Good luck to everyone entering though!! Maybe I'll grow some courage and enter closer to the ending date.EDIT :: I figured I'd give it a shot Newbie Entrant
Soquili Owned: 0
Proof of co-ownership rights: N/ABasket Choice: Youngest Certing Information:Name: (name thought of from the dark 'scorch' like marking on the basket) - If Female: Scorches - If Male: Scorches Temper:- If Female: Eager - If Male: Eager Contest Entry:Gender chosen for Contest Entry: Both Personality Description: Scorches is a rather nosy and eager who likes to wander off away from the parentals to explore the area around them; this sort of trait seems to fall back on the grandmother most likely, but it's not like it's completely a bad thing. Though it probably does raise some trouble from time to time, and it makes Mama Makayla worry so. Eager to learn about all sorts of oddities, travel to new places, and getting all riled up over the littlest of things (in a good way most of the time), Scorches has a lot of energy to burn. The thing is that this worrisome wanderlust and curiosity never seems to die off even for a day or 2, as Scorches is just constantly in motion and prancing about. Even before bed time at night, Scorches is rolling around on the ground and being a rather wiggly thing. It must get annoying to some from time to time. RP Entry: Prompt 2 As usual, Scorches decided (or unknowingly decided) that wandering away from Mama and Dad was a great idea to do for their morning exercise. The young family were in an area that had other families nearby camping out as well, and of course Scorches would need to have an eye kept on them; but it was still rather early in the morning, and no one was expecting the young 'energizer bunny' to be up and at'em already! Soon enough, there was a rather peculiar sort of noise not too far away that had caught Scorches ears, and as curiosity took over, the young foal pranced towards the commotion. Around the corner of a rather large rock was another family of horses, but it seemed to be in some sort of chaos. The father was arguing with the Mother about the crazy, and very excitable young foals who were apparently making a little too much noise for comfort. "How do you expect me to get any sort of rest with these brats hopping over and onto me!? I can't stand this sort of behavior from them anymore!" the large male gruffed into the face of the mother, who retorted back, though not as loudly. She didn't seem too upset, but she did look tired... "You know they're easily excitable foals dear. They just need to tire themselves out is a--""Tire themselves out?! They've had ages to do that! Do they look tired at all to you!??" Looking to the pile of foals who were running about, nipping each others tails and ears, and shouting horrendously in a fit of noise that they believed was fun to them. Heck, Scorches thought it looked fun as well! Trotting over to the pile they shoved on in as well. The other family didn't even seem to notice the oddball foal at first, and the other young ones continued to play with each other, and Scorches, as if nothing were wrong at all. This was a lot of fun, all this noise and excitement really had them going!! ...Until Scorches got a bit of a hard n** on the rear. A yelp cried out, but it was unheard by anyone with the shouting of the Dad, the Mother trying to speak over the children, and the foals being rowdy. Scorches wasn't used to pain, nor did they ever need to deal with it before! Frightened by the sudden array, Scorches quickly weaseled out of the dog pile of ponies and galloped away back to where their own family still lay asleep. Scorches nuzzled up under Makayla's muzzle with a bit of a sniffle. When mom woke up, she could clearly see something was wrong with the foal and asked, as it was appropriate to figure out what was going on. "There was others being really loud, and it looked like a lot of fun... s-so I played with them too. But then they bit me on the butt and it... it hurt!! That wasn't fun at all" Scorches replied, tucking their legs in closer to their body and looking back to their bitten rear. Makayla asked a few more questions seeming very concerned about her child being 'injured', and Scorches tried their best to explain what they heard and saw. Obviously confused now... it couldn't be happy shouts if it ended up with a bit of pain. Understanding now, Mother explained to the foal that it was fighting, and fighting was not something this family liked to do at all. The usually eager and bouncy foal seemed a little down now... if it hurt, then why would others do it? It was puzzling, and Sorches wanted to know more, but they were a bit afraid to find out about it. Considering that maybe it was too early for all this excitement, Makayla urged Scorches to go back to sleep for a bit. Cuddling up closer to the protective parent, the young foal closed their big, curious eyes and settled down to rest. They'd find out more in the future, hopefully. Future Plots:- Foal:• Very bouncy and active (ADHD maybe?) Scorches is constantly wandering away from mama and dad to go look around and find things. Maybe Scorches starts to drag back odd or interesting things to show the family; some things less undesired than others • It'd be nice if Scorches could bump into a few other Soq's (any age) to interact and chat with them. Scorches has their grandma's curiosity, but their mother's chattiness, so they might be able to learn a lot of new things • Scorches just never seems to learn right from wrong and continues to get into all sorts of little troubles. A small event that scares the foal into really trying to learn what is good from bad might help develop them into a stronger, less naive young adult in the future - Young Adult:• Still very excitable at this age. I'd like for Scorches to meet someone who will maybe teach them to tone down their eagerness a bit. It probably does get annoying to some, and maybe even to the point where others (who might be easily angered) lash out at them verbally or physically • It'd be interesting if the situation above (annoyed to the point where another lashed out verbally or physically) took place as well. Since Scorches was raised in a very loving, friendly family but has seen fights from afar, I think I'd like to test how they would react to this confrontation • I don't think Scorches will have much interest in the gender opposite of them at this time in their life, and consider a lot of them as 'just friends.' they still seem to be very childish even at this age. All that young youth has yet to burn out it seems • Scorches would be very eager at this age to leave their families side and go out on their own to explore further. Mom and Dad are somewhat keeping them back they feel, and though Makayla would be understanding she might worry a bit much considering the history with their child and the trouble they get into (also the fact that they're the youngest). A RP with the parentals talking about this sort of event taking place would be something to set Scorches off into adulthood - Adult:• Hopefully as a adult Scorches has calmed down a lot and is more bearable to deal with. Again, it'd be nice to have another Soq who can help them achieve this • Not very smooth with the opposite sex, I'd think that despite being bubbly and chatty Scorches have a bit of trouble in finding someone who would be interested in them, or even find them bearable with how much they talk and roam about • Eventually though I'd like Scorches to find someone to settle down with. Coming from a friendly family, Scorches holds that dear to them deep down even though they never really talk about it, and would like to share the same thing with someone willing to spend their life with them • It'd be a pretty heartbreaking idea, but it'd be different if instead of finding a solid mate, someone uses Scorches as a 'fling' and just breaks the poor Soq's heart to bits; Scorches would still like to be involved with the family/parent though. It'd be interesting to see how they recover from such a blow. Though they would probably return to their usual eager self, they'd keep in mind that their naivety mislead them to believe that most families could be happy and love each other forever. 
Middle child owner: SummedUp (?)
I loved your idea, and felt that this character concept would transition smoothly to a basket with the insignia of a Phoenix (the creature that knows new life from ashes of past glory, much as Cinis coaxes new growth from burnt forests...)
If you feel comfortable keeping this same idea and transferring it to the middle child, I would be happy to transfer ownership to you/ officially name you owner of this basket. ^.^
SummedUp
Certing Information:
Name:
Cinis
Cinis is Cinder in Latin.
(I will be using this name for the prompts)
Or
Smoke
Note:
Both are gender neutral names I just want to see the foal before I decide for sure.
Temper: Warm
Contest Entry:
Gender chosen for Contest Entry: Male.
Personality Description:
As with most in his family tree cinis has embodied some form or aspect of fire for his personality.
Particularly he ensnared what can only be described as "the movement" or "the draw" of the flame for his personality.
Visually soft to the touch and senses he draws you in and makes you want to be near him. A large heart and kind eyes that hold an Offering of unspoken warmth, security, and even a certain brightness that lends safety to any situation.
A few extra points
~He's not a fighter or confrontational by even the loosest standard. He would rather be your friend than your enemy and can find the good in just about anyone.
~thanks to his fathers blood he loves nature and is most at home in the deep forest. He particularly enjoys his past time of what he calls "helping nature". He wanders around sections of forest burned by fire and spreads moist seeds to regenerate the life in those places.
~loves rare plants and attempting to spread them.
RP Entry:
The First option I like to make my own path.
In this instance it's a small sample of a situation of him as an adult.
This is about how long my posts for him will actually be sometimes a little longer depending on the rp.
Slowly smoke unfurled itself in elegantly spiraling tendrils from still smoldering patches of earth. Offering Cinis the perfect cover for his duties. With darting golden eyes to keep watch and pointed hooves to dig he began to paw at the soil to mix the good soil and enriching ashes together.
The fire that had blazed through this area only a few days before had burned so hot that the old growth trees had burned down to the roots and then some. This after more than ample scouting around was perfect place to help nature regenerate itself.
The Soil now completely mixed about he over turned the pouch about his neck and sprinkled about a mixture of seeds native to the area sure to thrive. Just in time to as just then the first few droplets of rain sprinkled down upon his back.
"see you soon." he whispered and darted off.
Future Plots:
Like most of my soquilli I would like him (or her of course) to have a sense of direction and purpose. Elder is something that may or may not happen depending on how his char speaks to me over time. Also I'm not going to demand a ton of family rp but I would like one at least maybe two if anyone of the bloodline can make the time.
Anyway
-one
I would like an rp or two about him learning about the benefits of fire to the forest. How through fire and the death of old growth newer growth and a healthier forest will spring up.
-Two
I would try for an item slot to be his seed satchel and I would like a rp about how he reached the point of obtaining one.
-three
Finding his familliar.
-Four
he starts to gather a fallowing of others who wish to help him regenerate forests. This would be tons of RPS.
-Five
one where he gets caught in a forest fire and ends up badly hurt. Perhaps he seeks refuge with a herd for a bit.
Thank you for the chance smile they are all gorgeous!
After hearing back from the winners, I will let Agneza know the final owners of the baskets (and update the owner of the middle child if accepted. heart )
