marauding star children

Are you hungering for some more vikings? Do you like raids? How about sparkledogs? Boy oh boy have I got the adopt for you!  

Deion is trying to continue his line, after a sobering reality check that involves realizing that he's getting older and he hasn't had kids yet. Coincidentally, a trader from his mother's homeland (read: very sparkly) has wandered into town and they'll be sharing a romantic night together in the near future. A month or two later, she'll be dumping a litter of pups on his doorstep because they'll get in the way of her work if she were to keep them. She's not the mothering type, either way. The kids will be freshly weaned, and malleable little mongrels to boot.

Having been sneak attacked with progeny, Deion will likely be taking his leave from the Hallows with these new kiddos, and taking them to see the world and learn the ways of their heritage. They will be learning to fight and raid and plunder, and mostly be left to do as they please. This does mean that Deion will likely be holding them accountable for their own actions to a certain extent, and so if they get injured he will patch them up, but he will also be very bluntly informing them that there are consequences to every action, and sometimes it's maiming. Yeah, he's not exactly parenting material. He will love them all fiercely, and gladly lay someone out for messing with his kids, but he won't coddle the rugrats at all.

Expect them to be fluent in Macedonian, Icelandic, and English. Those are the languages that he learned as a kid, and these little ones will be no different! There will also be a slight inclination towards his ancestral beliefs, which centre primarily around animism. The world contains a multitude of spirits, mostly tied to the land itself and its features. The Long Night was full of them, and he's recently come to terms with the fact that his parents might have been right about something. If one of these kids decides that fully committing to their beliefs is where its at, he won't dissuade them. His mom and uncle did originally come to Boreas to escape being ritually sacrificed, so it's a pretty gory culture. Strength and self sufficiency are paramount, though Deion wouldn't be one to hold back his love from a child that might not be either of those things. Basically, take what you want and sacrifice the occasional captive for a good harvest.

OKAY! With the long preamble over and done with, here's the actual adoption info!

Names: Botanical, Astrological, or Macedonian names fitting those two themes. No deity names plz. I've got a working list that's a few pages long if you're stumped for ideas, just DM me!  

Size: Probably sticking close to the XL-Dire range, but not mandatory. His parents were massive (45" - heavy and 41" - medium), his uncle was also massive (45 - heavy), and a lot of his cousins onsite are massive (see: Jupiter and his ilk). Not gonna be super picky about this though, since big babies are pricey and since they're an off-site litter there aren't the usual fun discounts that would come with having the sire being max height.  

Designs: SPARKLEDOGS! These are space-themed designs, and very colourful. If you want some natural colours in there, I won't fault you, but this is one of those rare opportunities to go hogwild, since Deion throws p much every colour, and his family has strong cosmic/rainbow genes. I've thrown a good few of them at the bottom for y'all to peruse, but feel free to make your own!  

Alignment: Anywhere from True Neutral, running through the full Chaotic gambit, to Neutral Evil. They're proud marauders, and come from a background that included ritual sacrifice. No wilting flowers around here ;)

No deadline on these little ones yet, since I'm still uncertain of when they'll be coming in/working out the kinks. Consider this as both an interest check and an adoption page, and once there's a few of y'all I'll give a deadline and a date when they'll be coming in <3
