Want a free Sentinel? Of course you do.
He's a handsome fellow, isn't he? And all you have to do to win him is to create an interesting personality and backstory for him. The only parts you can't change are his type and gender and that he is a Watcher. This task, while not as glamourous as some of the others, is no less important in Sentinel society. The Scouts and Rangers are the guardians of the perimeter of Noctua, but the Watchers are the true custodians of the heart of the forest. A fair share of Elites have served a stint as a Watcher in their day, and the Near Sub-Wardens are expected to have spent at least a season in that role. In most cases, Watchers are among the most combat-ready of the Sentinels, even if those skills are rarely called upon. Freebie rules:- If you win this Sentinel he's completely free of charge. - Basic customization is available at flatsale pricing (up to 25K) - If you own more than two Sentinels you can't enter, sorry. We want to give newbies a chance. - While we are not an RP-required shop, this is a RP based freebie and we would love it if you stayed to play! - We'll have some more giveaways and a flatsale later for folks who want sig-pretties. <3  [size=10][i][b]Part I – The Sentinel[/b][/i]

Part I – The Sentinel
Player: Rakni Soup
Name: Moonless
Nicknames: Moon, Less, Mole (By close friends)
Species: Sentinel of Noctua
Age: Adult
Hatch Date: 31/8
Type: Shadow
Task: Watcher
Personality: Moonless likes to sneak (stalk) and does not interact with other Sentinels often, preferring to watch from the shadows. When he does inevitably talk to someone, he more often then not addresses the person with his or her name (Or nickname) without being properly introduced, and then fails to defend himself when asked “How do you know my name?”. He is an insidious person who knows everything about everyone (If you ask him) but he does take his job very seriously and endeavors to gather as much knowledge as possible. Sometimes he even forgets to hunt for himself since he's been Watching something particularly interesting.
History: Moonless was raised by loving parents who doted on him and taught him all the values of Sentinel life and instilled a deep respect for the law into him. However, where his parents were quite willing to simply live life alongside the clan and mind their Crafting tasks, Moonless wanted to press the virtues of Sentinel life on other Sentinels, or at least ensure that they followed the laws set down by the Brigadier and as such, Watcher life came easily to him. Now he has an excuse (and indeed, a duty!) to know as much about everyone as possible.
Territory: A small territory inside the Deep Woods, easily defendable and strategically placed to be able to reach many gathering points as quickly as possible.
Mate: None
Companions: Yes
Certificate: Umm... I don't have it...
Part II – Companions
Name: Sneaky, Stalker
Species: Mus, Mus
Age: Adult, Adult
Speech Ability: 4,5
Intelligence: 4,5
Skill:Stalker is Moonless's most prized companion and has been with him since he was a fledgling, with his relatively keen mind and dark coloring. He is as natural a stalker as Moonless is and is rarely at his masters side, instead Watching on his own, returning to report when something interesting happens. Sneaky is the same color as Stalker and Moonless, but is a bit more stumbling and not as good at sneaking. Moonless keeps him anyway, since the little mus might come in handy (Emergency dinner!) but for now Sneaky is learning from Stalker.

History: He grew up in a loving home with his father and mother and 2 brothers and 1 sister, that is until one day a serpe got into his family's nest and killed his siblings, seriously hurting his mother.

Part I – The Sentinel
Player: Darkies-mistress
Name: Midnight Rain
Nicknames: Mid, Rain, Night, Midnight
Species: Sentinel of Noctua
Age: Adult
Hatch Date: Three summers prior.
Type: Shadow
Task: Watcher
Personality: Midnight Rain is a determined Sentinel, very eager to impress and win the trust of everyone he meets. He is a hard worker and encourages the new recruits instead of giving them the cold shoulder. He is rather fond of baby and juvinial Sentinels. While on duty, he is absolutly ruthless to his opponants, but when he is allowed to relax, he is as approachable as a minder.
History: To be honest, he never thought he'd be a Watcher. He always thought he'd be a minder. But his skill with chicks was lacking and he could only give so much attention to one babe at a time. He liked them a lot, to be sure, but he would panick when they cried, feeling it was his fault.
He took up the position when another watcher saved his life from a great bird in the sky. There is something in his past, though, that he keeps under wraps. As a warning to others, never ask him about his mating life.
Territory: He has a large territory in the east. It covers a small field, a clutch of trees and a little boulder on the edge. He has marked it heavily and is exceptionally weary when females enter his territory.
Mate: None...and he'll probably never have one.
Companions: A chirop named Adderoot
Certificate: Not avaliable. xD;;
Part II – Companions
Name: Adderoot
Species: Chirop
Age: Young Adult
Speech Ability: 2.5
Intelligence: 4
Skill: He uses the Chirop's keen night senses and flying abilities to help him keep guard at night. He also uses his hunting ability to catch bugs when food is scarce.

Part I – The Sentinel
Player: Chibi Sheepcat
Name: Raincloud
Nicknames: Rain
Species: Sentinel of Noctua
Age: Adult
Hatch Date: 04/04
Type: Shadow
Task: Watcher
Personality: Rain takes his job very, very seriously. Anything he sees at all must be reported out loud to his Mus companion, no matter how trivial or how boring it may seem. He seems to have trouble remembering that even though he is difficult to see in the dim light of his territory, that doesn’t make it so other creatures can’t hear him. Thus, he can often be found making comments about other Sentinels to his Mus when they are only a few feet away. Rain has two modes, “report” and “conversation”, and he refuses to talk to anybody while in report mode. They must first approach him with the intent of conversation before he starts reporting, or else wait until he is finished before speaking up. He likes to focus on one thing at a time. Naturally very unimaginative, Rain is the type to keep his beak in his own business and not think too much about the goings on around him. All he has to do is watch and report. He has no place to be making judgments on what he sees. He is very work oriented, and tends to think only about what he is doing, rarely going out of his way to listen to gossip or try to understand the behavior of other Sentinels. They simply are as they are. No use poking about to try and figure out the whys.
History: There is not much to tell about Rain. He grew up under the care of the Minders, and spent most of his fledging days reporting (read: tattling) on other fledging to his caretakers. His skill for repeating back what he had seen and heard without putting any personal feelings into it encouraged him to choose the path of a Watcher after Graduation. He certainly does not see the position as his only option, but rather something that he is very good at.
Territory: A small section on the edge of the Deep Woods, bordering the Swift Open River. The trees grow very close together here, causing the lighting to be quite dim. He uses this lack of light to better camouflage with the shadows. Three trees grow especially close to one another, and twine together to make a little ‘cave.’ It is here that he spends most of his time, simply sitting and watching.
Mate: None
Companions: Yes, see below
Certificate: Don’t have this yet
Part II – Companions
Name: Bitternut
Species: Mus
Age: Adult
Speech Ability: 4
Intelligence: 5
Skill: Bitternut is known to repeat back what Rain has “reported” to her, though this is only short-term memory and she tends to forget over time. What she is most useful for is bringing Rain snacks whenever he is on duty to keep him going until he has time to hunt.

Part I – The Sentinel
Player: Dr Umeda
Name: Coalwood
Nicknames: Coal
Species: Sentinel of Noctua
Age: Adult
Hatch Date: 16/05/200?
Type: Shadow
Task: Watcher
Personality: Coalwood is a silent fellow by nature but very observant, alway attracted to bright colors like the red of the berries. He tends to take special interest in the Sentinels living and working around him although not in a social manner but rather a protective, observational one derived from his slight paranoia. That is, he has a fear of larger ground-based animals, however rare they might be.
History: Coal had a strong desire to be on the ground, always excited by the look of berries on the bushes below. But one day he woke in a haze from sleep to see what he thought to be a large four-legged creature stalking the forest floor. After that, he grew a great fear of the ground and fell into the Watcher occupation.
Territory: deep in NotCold Forest near the NotCold Mountains
Mate: N/A
Companions: yessir!
Certificate: N/A
Part II – Companions
Name: Bayleaf
Species: Parus
Age: young adult
Speech Ability: 3
Intelligence: 4
Skill: Bayleaf's purpose is very minuscule but at the same time necessary for his sanity. She keeps him from going bored and can supply short conversations over simple matters. Bayleaf is a very loyal type but her major purpose even over conversation is to fetch Coalwood berries when they are particularly tempting since his meals tend to be limited to prey venturing in the trees unless he feels daring.
