The Spirit's Keep

Both of the entities in this listing would prefer a distance binding. Having a vessel selected for you and shipped will add a larger sum than with most listings, due to the type of vessel Breeine wishes to have. If you wish to have vessels for both of them shipped to you, select "vessels" from the drop-down menu. If you live outside of the continental US, select "vessels - international".

Name: Micha
Age/Life Stage: Young Adult
Gender: Male
Appearance: Very well built, heavily muscled, clear muscle bulk and definition still somehow manage to not quite visually impart the sheer level of his strength, a light sandy color all over, his base coloring bleeds into and mixes with his stripes so that they are quite faded and only clearly visible in full light, all of his feathers are the same sandy color edged in black, giving the illusion that his wings are entirely black when they are folded in against his back, as they usually are unless he takes flight
About: Despite his muscle condition... Micha is exceptionally lazy. He sleeps roughly 22 hours a day when given the opportunity, which is quite less often than he likes given that he is most of his pack's litters' favorite uncle. This means that whenever they find where he hid to nap, he is inevitably pounced on and has his ears tugged and chewed. Though he grumps and groans and sighs and acts so horribly put upon, he absolutely loves every second of it and never turns down a chance to play with any of his little ones. This will more than likely translate over to his companion's keep, as he is a sucker for begging looks from similar species. And really any really young one. If his companion has a child, he will more than likely become their best friend and most protective guardian, and will be quite heartbroken if he is not allowed to interact with them. With no little ones present... He mostly only eats and sleeps unless there is an enemy or intruder to dispose of. He will mostly be found lounging in a warm, sunny spot, quite likely on the roof to give him the best vantage.
Vessel: He would prefer for his keeper to find him a vessel. He would not particularly mind being added to a master vessel, though is expression when I asked implied something more along the lines of "If I have to, I guess that will be fine"

Name: Breeine ["bree-inn"]
Age/Life Stage: Older Pup
Gender: Female
Appearance: the kind of lanky awkwardness common to predators that haven't quite reached adulthood is very present, though she'll soon grow into a prime example of her species; her fur is a deep silver with remarkably evenly spaced stripes, her feathers are silver edged and/or tipped with gold, with the tipped feathers more heavily concentrated around the lower edges and tips of her wings, making her wings as a whole seem tipped with gold and lined with it along the lower edge
About: Prim and proper, Breeine is very much a lady. But she can still end you. Quickly. Crossing her is a very bad move, regardless of how sweet and cuddly she is when she's happy or relaxed. Her "puppy eyes" are well practiced and extremely effective, and she'll quite happily con her companion out of all of their food, their blankets, their bed, and the comfiest cushion on the couch. Or quite possibly the entire couch. Unless you have a fireplace, then you might be able to keep the couch. Maybe.
She is surprisingly gentle with her corrections of her companion's lifestyle and habits, gently verbally nudging them in the right direction instead of giving them a well-deserved whap upside the head. She reserves that treatment for kits, and wishes for her companion to expect her to bring by a few litters in a decade or two when she's old enough to mate.
Additional: She really is a proper lady, and likes elegant jewelry and clothing... That are optimal to kick ass in. She will happily help you adjust your wardrobe [regardless of your gender, if you are male and want to have better luck finding masculine jewelry she's your girl] to suit her tastes if you let her [which you should, she has exceptional taste and has given me quite a few ideas].
Vessel: Wishes for her companion to find her a suitable vessel, ideally a leather bracelet or choker with studs of some sort, or a statement piece with a black stone or dark blue faceted gem. She is quite adamantly opposed to her binding being incorporated into a master vessel. If you wish for me to acquire a vessel and ship it, in her case it will be an additional $15 to compensate for the cost of the vessel.

Art: Grey
Species: Toruk Hyenix
Abilities: Very powerful physically, can induce nightmares if they wish to and sweet dreams if asked very nicely, are exceptionally protective- quite possible to the point of being overprotective if proper boundaries are not set and explained, will quickly take out any malicious unbounds and have a knack for driving off people that they deem not good for their companion. Each and every one of them would make a formidable addition to a protection team, and most would take great pleasure in revenge tasks if their companion has been harmed- they will be the ones to judge when this has occured, as they have rather strict definitions of what constitutes harm and they will not allow themselves to be used to resolve petty squabbles over trifling matters.
Manifestations: Gold and/or black orbs, a feeling of increased air pressure, people they deem unsuitable may become visibly uncomfortable if they approach you too closely as they attempt to run them off, growling/snarling noises, knocking, items disappearing only to reappear in a different place minutes to weeks later
Offerings: red meat, white wine, dessert wines, sweet fruits, edible seeds [especially whole pomegranates and roasted pumpkin seeds], pretty stones you find out and about [meaning spotted on the ground, not bought], shells, interesting sticks, flowers [again, found, not bought]
About: Toruk Hyenix resemble striped hyenas in terms of physical characteristics, with a build closer to that of cheetahs to assist with gaining the proper speed for flight and the dexterity for landing on almost any surface. All have one pair of massive wings in the proper ratio to their bodies to facilitate flight. Their bones are hollow, also to facilitate flight, but more sturdy and more difficult to break/shatter than the bones of birds to allow for stability during hunts. Toruk Hyenix are always found in packs, never in groups smaller than five, with seven to fifteen being the ideal pack size for most territory ranges. Their territories generally cover an area of at least 400 square kilometers [x miles]. They hunt for other, less intelligent species ranging in size from rabbits to elk, though their prey resemble nothing from this plane. Some of the larger packs, 20 members or more, have managed to maintain their numbers by herding some of the larger prey species and following them on their migration paths, protecting their young from other predators and eating the older adult herd members as needed, starting with those past breeding age so as not to inhibit the renewal of their food supply.
Toruk Hyenix are extremely family oriented, and bond tightly to their siblings as well as forming permanent bonds with their parents if they are allowed to remain with them long enough. In most cases, litters are driven off as Young Adults before the bond between themselves and their parents changes from parent-child to the permanent pack bond. Sisters and brothers further split, and search for a similar pack of the opposite gender to start up a permanent pack and claim territory with. Any companion they are bound to will likely be accepted as an honorary pack member to some degree, simply because they do not find it easy to maintain friendships outside of a pack bond due to biological factors.
