``I wish to be like the hare, whom bounds above the meadow without a care of this rotten world.`` hello, and welcome to “The Leveret’s Cry: A Oregano application!” (please be aware that this is my first ever application, so sorry if i mess some things up or have some missing details! ^^) Ω~SECTION ONE~Ω ~✦︎~ Username + Nickname ~My user name is @ryuken-, but you can call me ryu or ken! I am fine with whatever! ^^ ~✧~ Brief about you ~Hi! I’m a person who is highly interested in poems and storytelling. I find it fascinating that even a small sentence can transport you into a whole new world, full of mystery, awe, and wonder. I love creating stories and playing them out with people, and this has been something I’ve been doing for as long as I can remember! I find it so fun to create new worlds, languages, and traditions, and I’d love to start something new with this roleplay! ~✦︎~ Character you're applying for ~I’m applying for Oregano! I love his design >:) ``The grove lays between my eyes, calling out to me. Yet all I see are the old worn bones of those whom we’ve lost to time.`` Ω~SECTION TWO~Ω ~✧~ Personality of character ~Oregano is quite the mysterious type; quiet, always alone, and shut up. He is not the one to be with in a crowd, as he believes that corruption comes from community and peer pressure. Oregano is mostly seen spending time out in the woods and in nature, as he assumes the fact that you must look up to the true and faultless peer of nature rather than to a corrupt cat with a haughty voice. Despite his introvert behavior, Oregano opens up to his true, kit-like self in the fields beside the Court. He believes that he can truly be himself with nature, and that he can learn to dance to the beat of all her seasons. However, when he is in the court, Oregano puts on a stern, wise persona for those he knows not. He will rarely give out information of any kind to those who are in the court, as he believes that they could use this information against him and his family. Oregano will rarely open up to outsiders, but when he does, he clings to their friendship with earnest and loyalty for all the days. ``I see many who try to listen, who try to rush nature’s song. Those whom are impatient only waste their time rotting, for she will never answer them. If you /truly/ want to hear her whispers, you must hearken and be still.`` Ω~SECTION THREE~Ω ~✦︎~ Future Gender + Pronouns ~Oregano will stay a male and will go by he/him! ^^ ~✧~ Future Sexuality ~Oregano will be straight! ~✦︎~ Roleplay experience ~I have roleplayed in several places offsite, and I’ve been roleplaying for quite a long time (despite the fact that my first roleplays were just me pretending to be a wolf in my backyard :skull:). I also have a bit of experience within’ this roleplay, ~✧~ Research (please understand that Meniere’s Disease isn’t a “one size fits all” sorta thing! This is simply how Oregano experiences his condition!) ~Oregano has Meniere’s Disease! This is a certain disorder affecting the inner ear, and it can cause tinnitus, vertigo, pressure with in the ear, improper balance, and hearing loss. The /main/ cause for Meniere’s Disease is unknown, however Oregano happened to be born with it (no sickness caused it, it’s just genetics); it affects his left ear initially, but over time it will start to affect both of his ears. Meniere’s Disease typically isn’t present in infants, so it will mostly affect him in his teen years (during kithood in the roleplay, he will experience little to no symptoms). However, this is how it affects him once the symptoms start showing: He has a bit of a struggle balancing, and finding his footing can be proven difficult for Oregano. He has to battle constant vertigo and tinnitus, and it is no easy task for him. Oregano, due to his condition, prefers more peaceful and quiet places in order to help with his symptoms and overstimulation in the ear. However, he still likes to be active and run and play, and he will never turn down a race with his siblings. During an attack, although, Oregano prefers to lay low and rest (especially since it helps symptoms go away). Oregano’s sense of hearing is not the sharpest, and he often needs people to repeat what they’re trying to say. Because his left ear often makes voices muffled, Oregano tries his best to communicate via signs and body language more than words. Despite his condition, he does not like pampering merely /because/ he has Merinere’s Disease. He prefers people to think of him as strong rather than needing constant assistance due to his condition. •Research: medlineplus, mayoclinic, national institutes of health (gov), cleveland clinic ``As the leaves change color and disperse, something strange stirs with in us.

He stooped down cautiously and carefully, making sure every step was planned, before swiftly swiping a small dragonfly out of the tall strands of grass. ``Finally!`` he mewed, ``I’ve been looking for your kind for a great while.`` Oregano sat down on the soft moss atop the river rocks, and observed his latest catch. He felt calm as he watched the dragonfly’s blue and red hues popping and shining with in the light of the sun. It dazzled him. It amazed him. He unclenched his paws to watch the dragonfly’s wings unfurl as it flew above and beyond, far beyond his reach at least. Oregano looked to the sky with awe and wonder, wishing to be free just like his catch. Wishing to end this cycle. •Oregano swiftly made his way to the nursery, despite telling himself on how much of a mistake it would be. He always seemed to understand when a storm was brewing, yet he never truly did trust himself. As his paws shuffled towards his nest, he looked over to see the other kits playing “recklessly.” Oregano scoffed as he fluffed up his mossy nest, full of feathers and leafy down. He soon lay his head, and, despite the chatter of his fellow nursery-mates, he fell into the realm of dreams. •Oregano awoke in a strange field, full of rotting flowers and piles of corpses. The air was quite chilly, as a dense fog had just rolled in the mysterious limbo. Suddenly, a shriek. It sounded distressful and blood curling, and it shook the ground beneath his feet. Then, silence; as suddenly as it came, it was gone. Vanished. Something was coming. His heart battered his ribcage as he cried for help, yet to no avail. He slumped down onto the ghostly grass, his mind racing ringing. Oregano shut his eyes, wishing for it to be over; he wished for the pain and the burden to be uplifted from him. Then, the cold dispersed. The smell of rot seemed to vanish, and the strange limbo seemed rather peaceful. Hesitant and curious, Oregano slowly opened his eyes to see a void, a ravine straight ahead. Out of the ravine came a strange cat-like creature, with a face disfigured and warped. Yet.. it seemed.. familiar. As Oregano tried to process, the creature bolted towards him with a fierce snarl and barring teeth. It pounced on him, tearing his flesh to pieces as it seemingly feasted upon him. Oregano felt his life drifting away, as he tried to cling to any strength he had left, he suddenly awoke in a dimly lit room. It was the Nursery. Oregano got up swiftly scanned the area, before flopping back down in distress. `What~` he thought to himself, `why~ how?` •Oregano turned towards Parsley with a sigh. ``Parsley,`` he softly whispered, ``Parsley, are you awake~?`` Parsley slightly jerked up, dazed and confused having being just woken up. ``Yeah~`` she mewed, ``now I am! Whatcha’ need, another thing to worry about? Heh~`` She tried to playfully tease her brother, but simple play turned into doubt. Her loud voice turned into a soft mew. ``What’s the matter~?`` Parsley purred. ``I didn’t mean it like that- I just thou~`` Oregano swiftly interrupted his sister with a small grin. ``No, no, you’re fine. No need to apologize.`` His smile turned into a frown as he sighed once more. ``Do you ever get those dreams, where, you don’t know if they’re fated to happen?`` Oregano mewed. ``It all seems too real~ ``I cry out to my mother, and she yields no response. I cry out to the meadow, and her voice thunders beneath me.`` Ω~CREDITS~Ω ~roleplay and litter idea: @Fried-Phishsticks ~design and second artpiece: @quinnt3ss3ntial ~bio and first artpiece: @ryuken- ~song: idk who made it </3
