Well, as long as all of us are dumping our CSes, I should join in. [hider=Big Tree and Little Tree] Name - Addis & The Cutting Age - 430 (Addis), 25 (The Cutting) Gender - Hermaphrodite Race - Both Addis and The Cutting are Ents. Ents are, put simply, sapient humanoid trees. Ents are as large as the trees they resemble, and have bodies comprised of strong mystical wood. Though strong, durable, and wise, Ents are restricted by their size and slowness. Personality - Addis and his offspring know no nonsense, and think as literally as possible. Both of them are strongly spiritual, and place religion in high regard. Anyone who either dismisses the gods or actively shuns them will face Addis's wrath. Appearance - [url=http://i.imgur.com/WxULVl6.jpg]Addis is big. Very big.[/url] Standing at about six adult humans tall, Addis strikes an imposing figure. The Cutting, meanwhile, is significantly smaller, standing at only 5'6''. The Cutting's wooden skin is much smoother and greener than Addis's. Sutras and prayers have been carved into Addis' feet.

[hider=Backstory]Many years ago, a small man in a small church near a small village planted a small tree on holy ground. Every day, the small man would place an offering near the tree, and every year the small man would carve a holy word into the small tree's trunk. The small man did his small favors for the small tree for years and years, and when the small man grew too old to do it, another small man came around to replace him. There were many small men who visited the small tree. Some picked leaves from the small tree. Some hung wreathes of small flowers over its branches. Some dug small graves and buried small animals at its roots. The small tree did not know why these small men did this, but it was happy to see their faces. The small tree, unlike the small man, did not grow old. As the Good God Harman had told it to, the small tree would grow larger as it grew older, and so it grew holier too. The Good God Harman, seeing how faithful His small servants had been, blessed the small tree. The small tree limbs grew, and the small tree's mind expanded. The small tree had now become big. Gifted with its new big brain, the big tree chose a name for itself: [b][i]Addis[/i][/b]. The big tree embraced the small man in the small church, and began learning of how it had come to be like this. It learned of who the Good God Harman is, and how He protects His followers from evil, and how to worship Him. And the big tree named Addis became what the small man called a "true believer". The big tree replaced the small man when the small man grew too old. The small church and the small village became big, and many small men learned who the Good God Harman was and what he did. Some small men came to the big tree and cut a small branch from it. The small branch was planted in the holy ground and grew into a small tree. The big tree saw its small branch grow, and gave it a name: [b][i]The Cutting[/i][/b]. The big tree gave the small tree a big brain, and took it out of the holy ground. The small tree named The Cutting and the big tree named Addis grew curious, and left their small church in the big village to explore the big world outside. Addis and The Cutting have many things to learn, and many things to teach to the small men around them.[/hider] [/hider]
