Lewis beamed a smile when he got permission for his friends to come here as well. “Don’t worry sir. I promise that my friends and I will make sure this place will never be destroyed. We will protect your home for as long as we live. And besides, we really don’t really talk about places like this anyways. People in our town think what we do is quite silly but when one really thinks about it, the supernatural is apart of our world whether we want it or not. Who knows, maybe the supernatural is the reason why our world even exists.” He sipped on the water before pulling out his phone, looking through his phone and pulling out a picture of an ancient symbol. It appeared to be on some rock. “Do you know what this is? I found it at the entrance of these woods. Is it apart of your race?”

He reached over and took the phone, examining the unusual symbol and blinked. His eyes studied it before handing it back. What a weird way to keep a picture. . . He shook his head of the thought before shifting a bandaged hand in a light gesture to the side at nothing. 

“What I’m seeing here is a symbol from the fairies actually. It’s not one of their usual ones, but I’ve seen them around the forest from time to time. They say you have to be carrying something special to even wind up crossing that path. Huh. . . that’s interesting. I wonder. . .” The thought trailed from there as he rubbed his chin in thought. “It’s not a giant ring around the forest. . . is it? I mean, it would make sense. Maybe they did it as thanks to a friend. It wouldn’t surprise me to be completely honest.” A quick shrug before he set his drink down and swayed his head in thought. “Nnh. . . maybe. . . maybe it has something to do with an old friend of mine. He always had ways of doing things that I would expect.” Getting up, he made his way back over to the shelf he had and brought out a rather thick book and set it on the table. “Here. This should be a big help in whatever you do. This was fashioned together by an old friend of mine and he left it here. ‘Course, I don’t think he really needs it anymore. . .” he trailed before shaking his head. “It has info about Dragons, a small amount about Warens and so on. Sure it’ll be of better use to you than me. And please, you don’t have to call me Sir. I’m far from that. You can call me Rei. No need for the formalities. I’ll be your guide here if you need it. Some parts of the forest can be tricky to traverse and I know them like the back of my hand. When do you want to come here and look around? I’m sure I have plenty of openings” he joked.

Noticing his patience, he nodded, offering him a seat. “Go ahead and sit. I’ll give you a history lesson as a best I can about my Race.” He poured a glass of water for the other and got one for himself before looking into his book collection. “They’re small, but they’re also feisty things. They can be really frustrating, but depending on where you are, back when I was younger, you could be introduced to some pretty big ones.” After relaxing and sitting himself down, he smiled at the curiosity Lewis had. “I’m an old race called a Woren. I was abandoned when I was younger. It’s a long story” He shrugged as he looked down. “Anyway, I’ve been here for quite some time. Centuries even. I stopped counting after a while.” Leaning back in the seat, his thoughts drifted for a moment before turning back to Lewis. “Guess you could say I’m centuries old. Yeah, sounds about right. As for his wood? Cedar Woods has been here for a very long time, kid. Since before you were born. The forest around it has grown quite a bit. And I mean quite a bit. These woods are too far back for most people to travel. I run into the occasional lost adventurer, but I usually leave clues for them to safely get home. People freak out when they see people like me” He hummed.

When Rei allowed him to sit, he did so. Taking the glass of water and sipping it as he listened to the other. The woods had been here longer than he thought? How strange. Maybe he picked up something that caused him to finally find it or perhaps it was there but he never saw it. He sipped the water before putting the glass down on the table. “Well not to seem rude or anything, but this world isn’t exactly used to the supernatural. They think it’s simply fiction, nothing really. But when they see something unusual, they think it’s a monster and only that” he said with a scoff. Sure, there are tons of monsters and creatures that are unfriendly, but not everyone is a monster. Some are just protecting their home like Rei. “I do apologize if anyone has harmed you in anyway. Some people don’t get the supernatural like my friends and I. Though I haven’t heard of the Cedar Woods before. But thank you for giving me history lesson of your race. It does mean a lot that I know more than most. So in case something does happen, I have the information needed to protect certain areas such as this. Nowadays, some forests are being destroyed for buildings or malls” Lewis shook his head. “It’s awful to see such beauty forest or habitats for supernatural creatures to be destroyed”

[yraallsworen]

His tail seemed to curl a bit. Perhaps there was some logic in what he said. He’d only really known this place. Taking time to think about that, he seemed amused. The guy was smart, collected. He was kind of like him in a way. Taking a moment, he shook his head. “It’s fine. Most people don’t come out this far. I don’t think I’ve been hurt in years. As for the thought of what could have happened, you’re right. You might have found something on one of your little adventures that brought you here. Who knows?” He grinned before leaning back a bit in the chair. “I hear about them Malls, Apartments. I’d rather not have that situation occur. I kind of like the thought of protecting this place as best I can. Lewis, I don’t mind you bringing your friends here, but I want to keep it as safe as I can.”

Lewis stood where he was as he didn’t want to go anywhere he wasn’t suppose to or sit down without permission. “Though are the Goblins small or rather big in size? Or do they vary depending on certain things?” he asked before smiling at the other and crossing his arms. “Though I’m amazed at the skills you have had when you were a teenager. If I may ask, how old are you sir? I will understand if you don’t want to answer and all. It is quite a personal question after all” He said before looking around the house from where he stood. “Though I have never seen this part of the woods before. Did it come here through travel or you happen to find it? Sorry to ask, it’s just…I don’t recall these woods before. Especially with Goblins or Fairies”

Noticing his patience, he nodded, offering him a seat. “Go ahead and sit. I’ll give you a history lesson as a best I can about my Race.” He poured a glass of water for the other and got one for himself before looking into his book collection. “They’re small, but they’re also feisty things. They can be really frustrating, but depending on where you are, back when I was younger, you could be introduced to some pretty big ones.” After relaxing and sitting himself down, he smiled at the curiosity Lewis had. “I’m an old race called a Woren.

As Rei spoke. He listened very closely. He was probably in second place when interested in the supernatural next to Vivi. But rather than going into places without research, he prefer reading and studying the supernatural. Of course, he knew better than showing off the evidence to the world. Scientists would be interested and could possibly try taking the supernatural into labs and doing experiments on whatever before they die. He would never forgive himself if that day ever came. The supernatural was interesting yes, but that does not mean they aren’t living. When Rei gestured to the house, he smiled brightly as it let him know that the other knew his causes and decided to help him know more. “Oh thank you sir. I’d very much like to know more about your race. But unfortunately we don’t really have a library of the supernatural. More like just a random chest filled with reliable books and articles with other stuff we found in caves or different locations we have been to.” Lewis stated before entering the house. “I must say, I do love your house. Though you say there’s fairies and goblins around here?” Maybe he should check in on that. But far away from his house of course. “Never seen one before, are they friendly or more the neutral kinda creatures?”

He continued to walk before looking over at him slightly. He was intensely polite. Something he didn’t see in some of today’s youth that liked to wander the old preserve. His lips curled into a thoughtful smile before putting a hand on his side. “Fairies and goblins, yes. Goblins are pretty harmless these days, but still are dangerous. The Fairies are pretty kept to themselves, they’re on a different plain from this one though. You have to have something special to get there.” His tail twitched as he went to grab a few cups for the two of them. As much as he disliked the thought of the new changes, it was a safer and healthier alternative than prior. The people in McNeil always did like to help him out since he would sell things from time to time. Still, being what he is in today’s society made it a little hard to actually go to the town. “Thanks for the compliment on the house by the way. I built it myself when I was a teenager.” He looked up at it. “Heh, those were the good days. Now, I just feel like an old man” He laughed.

“Oh forgive me for not introducing myself” He exclaimed before offering one of his big hands to Rei. “My name is Lewis Pepper. You can call me Lewis..or whatever really. Though I’m sure Big Foot isn’t a thing anymore. But Slender Man…he’s a different story. Been trying to find him every few months but he’s a mystery now. As for his story, could be made up for a game then just random people trying to be him. Copy Cat kinda thing for killers and such?” He explained with a shrug. “Though I prefer sticking with books and ancient written works to give me the information needed to figure out whatever we’re looking at. May I ask what ancient race you are from? Perhaps I read a book about your race but don’t remember what they look for. And once more, I’m very sorry for intruding. I’d rather go somewhere and find if my friends will be in any kind of danger or not as one of my friends has a tendency for finding danger and taking risks”

He took his hand, shaking it firmly. He knew a guy once with hands as equally big, so this didn’t phase him much. Waiting for him to finish, he nodded. “Lewis Pepper. Well, I see last names have been picking up over the centuries” He hummed before shifting. The kid was smart tough. Using the wall on the house, he leaned back on it as he looked up at the sky when he explained Slender. The kid really knew his stuff. “Sounds like a folk lore if I ever heard one. Lived here all my life and I’ve never seen some creepy, white, faceless figure in a suit wandering around here. Occasional Goblins, fairies and the sort live here though. That I can confirm with how long I’ve been here.” He lowered his arms to his sides “My race is called the Woren. Not many of us are around anymore that I’m aware of if there are any still around.” He shrugged and shook his head, “I don’t know if we would be in any real books. Maybe if you look for some that talk about ‘The Brood’ you might find us in there here and there.” Now he felt like a rude host. Shaking his head, He turned to the house, making a gesture. “Come inside. I’m sure if you don’t have information about us, I can give you some. Maybe my friend left me some books I can give you about other things. I’m sure I’ve got something to expand your library of the magically supernatural”

Once he explained his situation, Rei relaxed. So, he was taking a look to keep his friends safe? Reminded him of someone else. At least the kid was being polite and wasn’t trying to act tough like most. His tail twitched as the other circled him, examining his looks when he asked about what and who he was. At least the kid was civil and not trying to kill him like some others have. “It’s fine, just be a little careful with how you travel.” So, a friend wanted to seek him out? Or would intend to. Interesting, but dangerous. “My name is Rei. I’m from an ancient race. As for this forest? I’ve been here for quite some time. This forest is apparently some sort of Preserve now.” He relaxed as he folded his arms. “A Paranormal Investigator, eh? Yeah, that sounds about right. I’ve seen some...most of them looking for Big Foot? I think that’s what I usually hear. Then, there is another...what was it? Slender? Kids these days are really unusual...” he sighed before looking back at the other. “Alright, now you know about me. I know you’re here sweeping the area for your friend, but who are you?”

Rei sighed as he started walking up the wood stairs he had built leading up to his home when he saw an unfamiliar face. “Well doesn’t this just beat all?” The sigh that escaped him showed the minor stress of having someone unexpected near his home as he ventured closer.

“Look kid, I’m not going to tell you to leave or anything, but you should really be a bit more careful about wandering into other peoples homes. Especially out here. You should be lucky nothing came after you while you were wandering about. With McNeil getting bigger and becoming more like the other big towns, people are coming all over to see the super natural things out here. Don’t tell me; Some cloaked old man gave you a rumor of a wild, humanoid tiger running about the forest as if he was king of it, right? Even in old age, Loki really enjoys causing guys like me trouble.”

About Muse

“Even though Rei is a thief, he has a wholesome heart and doesn’t like the idea of hurting others. While taking care of Ryu and Teepo, Rei is very responsible and always does what’s in their best interest. He appears to be holding back some kind of hidden power so that Teepo and Ryu don’t get hurt.”

-From original Bio

(SPOILERS FOR BREATH OF FIRE III AHEAD)

At the start of the story, Rei is the caretaker and “big brother” to Teepo and later Ryu. He looks after them, teaching them how to survive. Rei and his “partners-in-crime” were largely disliked by the villagers of McNeil Village due to the constant thieving. However, when they risked their lives (forced by Bunyan) to kill the Nue, the villagers gained respect for the trio of boys. While suspicious of him, Loki tricks Rei and the others into stealing back the tax money from McNeil, this caused them to regain some of the ire from the villagers. They learned from Bunyan about McNeil being part of a crime organization, they quickly rushed home, only to discover that their tree house had been set ablaze. The three are attacked by the Horse Brothers Balio and Sunder, and ultimately scattered, though not dead.

Rei vows revenge upon the syndicate that disrupted their quiet little happy life, and goes on a hunt for his attackers and those who hired them. He attacks Garr and a now-adult Ryu on Ogre Road, but is defeated and retreats to the remains of his old home. There, Ryu, after requesting to go alone, confirms his suspicions that the Weretiger was in fact Rei.

Rei was both amazed and relieved to see Ryu, as well as being beside himself in shock at how powerful Ryu had become. But he still vowed to destroy the organization that attacked them and ran off before Ryu could say anything, attacking Loki along the way. After a killing spree in Syn City and killing the Syndicate’s leader Mikba, he joins Ryu’s group once again to see if God can answer why people like him and Mikba were born with the powers that they have had in there lives. He helps Nina solve the problems at the Plant, meeting Momo and Peco for the first time.

He then follows Nina to the castle in order to get a new passport, since he wasn’t present when the King and Queen of Wyndia first met Ryu and the others, so they wouldn’t suspect he was an ally to Ryu. However, after being forced to turn down a free meal and obtaining the passport, Rei and Nina ultimately had to flee the city when the truth was found out, by using the underground teleporter in the basement, which Honey activates. They rejoin the group and proceed on their journey. After helping free Deis and obtaining a boat from Rhapala, they attempt to use it to cross the Outer Sea, only to fail and forced to hitch a ride on the drifting Black Ship, though around this time Rei started arguing with Momo. After a long journey and defeating two Ammonites, they reach the Lost Shore. After seeing the almost zombie-like people in Kombinat, Rei has a little internal chat with himself, saying he was perfectly fine playing “highwayman” back home, but followed Ryu regardless, as he had his own questions he wanted answered by God.

After reactivating the Portal Drives, he and the others learn more about the Brood and help Garr manage his guilt for the deaths he caused during the war. After Ryu obtains the full power of the Brood, they travel across the appropriately-named Desert of Death, where later, after a battle against a Manmo, Nina suffers a heatstroke. He talks to Ryu, suggesting they use the Rakda to return to the start, but Ryu instead realizes the Rakda can save Nina more directly. He watches Ryu kill the Rakda and give its meat to Nina, much to his surprise, but also showing his belief and faith in Ryu’s decision. This helps Nina stay alive long enough to reach the Oasis for proper care.

After entering Station Myria, he is both shocked and relieved to see that Teepo is still alive. However, he is horrified at how Teepo has changed, and even more so when Teepo forces Ryu and the others to attack, ultimately killing Teepo. Teepo’s dying words seem to fill Rei’s heart with anger, as Myria was the one who turned Teepo against them, so he willingly confronted the goddess. After a long battle Myria was destroyed, Garr transformed into stone, and the remaining members barely make it out of the collapsing station with their lives. He was last seen looking over the desert sands with Ryu, Nina, and Momo, with the world’s fate now in the hands of its people.

—-

Rei now lives back in the Cedar Woods, living a peaceful life in his rebuilt home. There are many stories about the mysterious, tiger-like, figure that often roams the forest, but only the people of McNeil know about the true nature of the being. He often protects the town now to atone for his actions when he was young, trying to live by the righteous path that he’d learned from traveling with Ryu and his friends.

Rules

Hello! I’m Kid-mun. I’m the one who runs this blog. I’m 26 years old and have been roleplaying on Tumblr for a little over 5 years, 10 more years on other forums and sites. Anyway, there isn’t much to know about me. This blog isn’t about me, but about my muse. I just want you to know that this is my face claim, Labrys. As for the rules, they are as follows:

Please refrain from God Modding. Sometimes, actions might require you to control my character (mind-control, hypnosis, etc). I’ll keep my message box opened so people can ask me questions and/or get the okay of character control from me directly. If I don’t respond immediately, then I may be at work or busy and not on the blog.

MUSE DOES NOT EQUAL MUN. The things he says or does will not reflect the feelings that I have. There are somethings that even my muse will do that I will be confused about.

This blog will contain some distasteful situations including NSFW as I have no personal problem with most triggers. I will be tagging properly and placing these scenes under read mores so that you are not subjected to a potentially triggering read.

This being said, I am 26 years of age. Muns that are under the age of 18 will be ignored for any potentially nsfw scenarios. If I have just the feeling that you are under the legal age of 18, the rp will be dropped and, depending on the severity of the potential rp, I will block. This is not only to protect myself, but to also protect you.

I love to interact with OC’s and other Fandoms. If I don’t know the fandom, I will try to get general information, but I can be a bit selective about Fandoms, mostly because I want things to still be generally IC and sometimes going to far out of my knowledge zone makes things harder.

[IMPORTANT]

THIS BLOG DOES CONTAIN VIOLENCE, GORE, MENTAL ABUSE ETC.
