A chorus of cheers sound as the lights dim... The IntroductionWelcome all, to Dorcha Sidhe: A Quest for Eclipse! This is where you shall be able to see the Scent I am after, his Guardian-to-be, and the progress made in gaining him.
Hm? Oh! The name! Dorcha Sidhe means 'Dark Fae'. Considering the heavy Celtic/Irish influence of Nephilim and the 'dark' coloring for Dinesh, I thought the name would be appropriate. Enjoy all! Critiques are loved! A flash of color signals the red haired bard...

If you are near to the darkAbout the IncenseFrom BPALEclipse
All the glory, warmth and majesty of the sun -- darkened. A delicious blend of bitter almond, vanilla, frankincense and heliotrope, with a drop of cinnamon.
I searched for a 'Sun' incense of all sorts, and even thought of making my own...but I couldn't quite think of what to put in said incense. Then I went through BPAL and found Eclipse, a lovely sounding incense in my opinion, and though it would be a nice balance for the guardian I intend to use. I will tell you 'bout the sun

you are here, no escapeAbout the Scent Name of Scent: Dinesh +It means 'Son of the Sun'+
Gender: Male
Scent: Eclipse
Physical description for each stage:
+Unlit and Lit+ A swirling, dark gold liquid with hints of white and dark red.
+Child+ Dinesh is a dark little boy. Dark skin, with golden undertones, 'broken' by a bright smile and dark red eyes. His hair is dark gold with white streaks and reaches his shoulders, with a 'spiky' look to it. Dinesh's clothing is simple: a white t-shirt three sizes too large (since it's Nephilim's) and dark brown shorts. Like his guardian, shoes are a rarity.
+Adolescent+ Dinesh has certainly matured. He's still dark of skin, with golden undertones, a bright smile, and dark red eyes. His dark gold-white streaked hair is now shoulder-blade length, often kept loose or in a low ponytail. His clothing has certainly changed and gotten more complex. He wears a white tank top under a very elaborate sherwani. The sherwani itself is made of a dark red fabric that is just a shade lighter than his eyes, covered in black and gold embroidery of eclipsed suns and phoenixes. His pants are a pair of salwar that are dark brown, and he actually wears shoes now! But it's just a pair of black sandals! xd
+Adult+
+Elder+
Personality: Dinesh is...interesting. He's certainly more settled than Nephilim, but only because he tends to chose a place and claim it as his own. Thankfully....the first 'place' he claims is her truck. After all, knowing Nephilim, she'd have to go BACK to Cyrus and the shop just to go, 'WTFH! This kid came out of the incense I bought from YOU!' Oh...Dinesh inherits his 'máthair's foul mouth. However, he's the one more likely to be sober of the two. Even when he gets older, he isn't much a fan of alcohol. Now tea...that's a different story. He goes no where without a thermos of tea, preferably a good chai blend. As for girls...1) Yes he's straight. 2) He's a bit protective of them. And if one has actually decided they wanted to date him, he's more than happy to dote on them hand and foot.

You will cry all aloneAbout the Guardian Name: Nephilim (Taibreamh Aingeal)
Age: 16
Birthday: December 1, 1990
Sun Sign/Moon Sign/Ascendant: Sagittarius/Gemini/Sagittarius
Zodiac Sign: Yang Metal Horse/Inner Boar/Secret Rabbit
Numerology: 1
Religion: Pagan (Celtic-style gods)
Race: Human, Sidhe ancestor somewhere in there...
Powers: Nephilim can convey emotions through her music and draw people into seeing the story she tells with each song. She has the unique ability to get people to participate sometimes as well.
Occupation: Traveling Bard
Birthplace: Síog, a nation very much like Ireland.
Appearance: Nephilim is obviously of Síog. Her fire red hair is waist length and curly, often kept in no more than a loose ponytail starting at her shoulder blades. Her emerald green eyes are bright and curious, though sometimes contain the fire that her people are known for. She's fair of skin, with freckles across the bridge of her nose and the curvy, sturdy figure of someone built for traveling and eventually being a mother. Her limbs, however, are slightly long, and her fingers slender, and her face fae...betrayals of her Sidhe blood. Her fingers are calloused in such a way to prove she plays the fiddle very often, and with great vigor, and her feet have callouses from going barefoot more often than not.
Nephilim's clothing is always very...Celtic. Peasant tunics, long flowing skirts, bodices, head kerchief, sashs, coin belts, long dresses with full sleeves, plenty of horn, bone, amber, semi-precious gem, and precious metal jewelry. She has just enough Sidhe in her, however, that she can't wear cold iron. It hurts far too much to be worth the appearance.
Personality: Nephilim is a born traveller. She stays somewhere long enough to check it out and make enough money to continue on her travels. She's one of those that travels for the sake of travelling; to see new places, meet new people, experience things she hasn't experienced before. She's a born leader, and seems to attract attention wherever she goes. She's usually found playing her fiddle and singing when she's not asleep or chatting with people. She's a quick and creative thinker who doesn't let the scruples of society bind her. Nephilim refuses to be tied down, and it may be a LONG while before she settles down with anyone...unless they travel with her. Nephilim loves her music and loves learning new things, but she can't learn in a conventional way...she has to do things first hand, and can't stand sitting in a classroom.
Nephilim is also a bit...Computer illiterate. She knows how to turn one on and use programs that find maps and knows how to use a basic blog and word prossecors...basic things. Get into painting programs or anything the least bit complicated, and she has NO clue what to do...including when her computer freezes or gives her the Blue Screen of Death. She's more likely to try and bang on the thing. Any CDs she's had made, have been made by someone else, and she's just pointed out what songs she wanted. Nephilim is also a good hostess. Wherever she's staying looks like it's decked out for unexpected guests, and even her truck has a few extra things, in case she shares a campsite with someone. And, much to the chagrin of the authorities, she always seems to sneak into the pubs and taverns.
"Can't keep a Síog lass from the ale!" is a common phrase for her. She can hold her own in a drinking contest, but has been dragged back to her motel room by friends made that night before. And for some reason, she seems to attract the good crowd. Maybe it's her innate kindness and tolerance...When she's drunk, she's a very happy and random drunk. She'll dance with just about anybody, cracks lewd and crude jokes, and sing just about anything requested of her or make up lyrics on the spot.

knowing the song I will singThe Inspirations There were many inspirations for these two lovelies. Of course...these were the main ones.
The BPAL incense Eclipse of course!
Heather Alexander...This woman is friggin' awesome! Her music is what inspired me to create Nephilim. Reach her site here.
The Pavee, or Irish Tinkers. Though Nephilim is a bard, rather than an odd-job/tinker gal, she has the same traveling spirit. till the darkness comes to sleep

The Song if you are near to the dark
I will tell you 'bout the sun
you are here, no escape
from my visions of the world
you will cry all alone
but it does not mean a thing to me
knowing the song I will sing
till the darkness comes to sleep
come to me, I will tell
'bout the secret of the sun
it's in you, not in me
but it does not mean a thing to you
the sun is in your eyes
the sun is in your ears
I hope you see the sun
someday in the darkness
the sun is in your eyes
the sun is in your ears
but you can't see the sun
ever in the darkness
it does not much matter to me
