Cast Call: Senlin

Hi there! I am starting to submit images and profiles for my "Main Cast" of the Neigh-Beyul residents. Most of them you will recognize from my initial designs for the races, but these will include brief profiles to help friends and viewers get more familiar with their personalities, hobbies, occupations, and so forth! Hope everyone enjoys these introductions!

Name: 森林 Sēnlín (Forest) Pronounced: "Sen-Leen"

Species: Fire Qilin

Gender: Sire (Male)

Status: Mate with 桃花 Táohuā (Peach Blossom)

Family: 蘭花 Lánhuā (Orchid - Daughter), 馬蹄 Mătí (Stone Hoof - Son)

Home: Neigh-Beyul, The Far East

Occupation: Archivist and Chronicler, Keeper of the Texts, Master and Teacher to 蓮 Lián, Envoy to the Emperor and Empress

Personality and Info:
Sēnlín is a very loving and caring family male.
He tends to take things seriously and has a very small sense of humor, but eventually he will get some jokes and share in a laugh. He works to keep and preserve the history, traditions, and practices of his people. As Lián's master, he is tasked to teach her how to properly use her chi and help her gain wisdom so that she can grow up and become an ascended Golden Dragon, like Great Grandfather, and be the next leader of her clan.
As the envoy of the Emperor and Empress, he is tasked to welcome and evaluate visitors before arranging an audience with the royalty, or permitting entrance to the Temple of Balance. He is also the lead ambassador who is sent on diplomatic missions to other regions to help establish friendly relations and alliances.
In his spare time, if he is not already organizing the library, is to play Go with his family or friends, and to make music with his Erhu (Spike Fiddle, Chinese Violin).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sēnlín's design was mostly inspired by an older submission Lin and Ren, which was a Sonic Styled character design for a past contest for a now dead group. He sports the old hair style of the 辮子 Biànzi (Known as the Chinese Cue). You could say he is the "Twilight" of Neigh-Beyul, except he is more social and has a family. ^_^
If folks are wondering why I am making these profile introductions, it is because I am working on a comic of my own, which I hope others will enjoy and support once I start releasing pages. It will take some time since thi is mostly a one-person project.
But I hope everyone will enjoy and share it! More to come, so stand by!
