The Black Tortoise of the North, Zhi Ming

"Yes, I'm blind and no, I still know what you look like."

a character in “Supernatural living”, as played by Child of the Winged

Description

Image
Full Name: The Black Tortoise of the North, Zhi Ming

Nickname: Black

Type of supernatural being: One of the Four Symbols of China

Gender: Male in his mind

Age: He can't age

Birthday: Born when the sky was formed

Height: True: 9'6" Human: 5'8"

Weight: True: N/A Human: 112

Physical Description: He's the middle, not the shortest, not the tallest, not the skinniest either. He's kinda average in everything but looks. He has soft black hair and piercing eyes that come off cold. Although he has no shell, he has a raised ridge down his spine and scales on his chest.

Personality: If Vermil is angry and Azur is blunt, Black is cold. He has a dislike for almost everything, even before he was stuck in a body. He brushes everyone, exculding family, off like they were unimportant. And to a Symbol, they are. Around family, he's more relaxed but still stuck up about most things.

Likes: Family, books and food

Dislikes: Everything else

Habits: He is the "oldest" of the Symbols and acts like it, often ordering the others around. He has a little turtle that Vermil gave him, he carries it everywhere

History: With his siblings in the skies, they rule over the earth. When Vermil goes missing, Black is the first to look for her. When he sees her in a human form, he merely goes to help her and is caught. This still annoys him greatly. His form was without working eyes and he can not see, instead using the water in the air to feel his way around the world. When they killed the man responsible, he threw him against a wall and drowned him to near death many times before he let Azur kill him.

So begins...

Samil took Vermil protectively. "I would go... but... I... Vermil. I need to comfort her." He sighed, wrapping his arms around ker and hugging her closer. He pressed his lips to her forehead and pulled away. "Poor Black... Gomen, Vermil." He sighed, and pet her hair. "Is there anywhere you want to go? Anything you need to do that will help ith this?" He asked, looking down at her. "I feel bad." He muttered, and hugn his head.

White looked at Kali. "You. You love him, right? There's something there. Go prove that to him and you'll have the Symbols in your debt." White proceeded to scrap the ice off the door and hold it open, grunting as ice scrapped at his face and head. "Once you're in, just talk to him. Get him to calm down, wake back up..."

Vermil merely cooed sadly and pointed skywards. She needed her element, no matter how cool it was. Outside, please...

Black heard voices outside and doubled his defenses. "Stop trying to hurt me more..."

Samil nodded, and picked Vermil up in his arms. He walked toward the nearest exit, and stumbled out. He stretched out his wings, noticing that he needed this alot, too. Emptathy clouded his face as he watched Vermil. "So, what could it have been? Is Black phisically wounded? Or mentally, or emotionally..." He trailed off, nt wanting to push too far. "Nevermind that. Let's fly." He smiled, and took her hand. They toom a running start at first, but it eventually ended up with them in the air. "Much better." He laughed, and flew higher.

(Writer's block, sorry :l)

Vermil merely flew higher. It can be anything really... Most of it is mental and emotional... I mean imagine if someone who you knew wasn't a savory character came into my life and tried to do something to me... She spiraled down to Samil. Come on...

White merely let ice cover the door again. He noticed the two behind him. "Family issues..." was all he told them. "It's nothing too bad, it'll be cleared up soon..."

Black's eyes opened and they glowed an eerie blue. "Leave me be... I wish to be alone..." he looked at his Kali before his eyes moved back to staring at the now frozen pond. "I destroy things... I am not made to feel..."

Samil shrugged, and nodded. "True." He said, and smiled. Bringing himself back down to the ground, Samil shook his head. No, I can't be done with the sky yet. He thought, and sprung back up, he flew around Vermil, swiftly and skillfully. He thought about how back in Germany, the sky was bright and sunny in the summer, but in the winter it was cold and harsh, unforgiving.
Samil wondered if Vermil was bright and sunny, and that Black was cold, harsh, and unfrgiving, like the winter. Duh, their attitudes represent their seasons! But... I don't know Black very well. I can't say that about him... Which one of them is Fall, my favorite season? He thought to himself, still swirling through the air.

(Accidentally put Sophie in there. God, I never imagined that I'd be so stuck on stuff to write that I have to write exactly what my charry's thinking...)

Vermil flew around Samil and smiled. She hadn't been this happy since she met Amil all those years ago. Samil was different from her best friend but the same too. They both enjoyed her music and didn't care she was a bird. She crowed and flew faster, a stream of fire behind her wings.

Black closed his eyes again. "Kali..." The ice brushed her face gently. Even in his half awake state, he knew who she was. "So much like Alice... Even here..." Black sighed and the sculpture moved so he could face her. "So sweet and gentle... One doesn't need a beast at her shoulders, wanting to possess her wholly... Leave me be, xiao niao..."

White leaned against the ice and shivered. "In there. She's talking a suicidal turtle out of freezing the entire manor. What'd ya think she was doing?" he asked, tilting his head to the side.

Black moved to hug her, the ice melting as he did so. The minute felt her in his arms, the ice broke, both around his heart and in the room. "I do hope you understand that I am a creature of cold, of winter... Asking me to warm up is a weird request..." he joked, the water in the room warming it. He looked up to see White falling on his face and Yakusoku standing there. "Hey. Kali's fine now so you can leave."

White began laughing. "You are a handful, brother. Vermil's outside with Samil. You gave us all a heartattack, Kali especially. Let's not repeat this again, kay?" he winked and shut the door before turning to the demon behind him. "You thirsty?"

Johnathan rounded the corner to see Black embracing Kali. he frowned, but fought it back. "Kali, you're safe..." he said softly. He ignored the stare that he received, then looked around, feeling his stomach.

White sighed. "Aaaand I'm ignored again..." he walked up to his room and curled up on his huge cat bed, purring. He loved being a cat, although the lack of petting did annoy him a bit. He shrugged and fell asleep.

Black moved them to the bed, hissing in contentment. His snake side was showing but he was content. He nuzzled Kali's slightly wet hair and proceeded to remove anyone else smell off her person. Then anyone with a nose could tell that she was his and he wasn't sharing. He reigned in the possessiveness a bit but he didn't want her running away without him.

Vermil danced with Samil, unaware of his thoughts. She was content that Black wasn't depressed, White was well, White and she had Samil. If only she had her original form back, she would be the happiest bird ever. But this was a close second.

White butted the door with his head before hissing at it. The wood did nothing. He huffed and trotted onto Black's bed, sitting there. "Hi, brother."

"You returned your form? How?"

"I wanted to be petted and when John did as I wanted, I changed." White said, turning back into his human form, though his hair was white again. "Aw man! I need green hair dye!"

"I want Kali to kiss me willingly... Think that'll get me to change back?" Black asked, laying back against his bed while White snorted.

"I bet. I wonder what Vermil wishes Samil he did..." White asked aloud not expecting an answer from Black.

"To open up and let her know what's wrong" White merely tucked his head into his hands and laughed bitterly.

"We're so damn easy to please..."

"It's to be expected, we've outlived any and all lovers before... So to finally be able to live among them and not above them, we only expect little simple things..." Black explained. The tiger scoffed before he leaned on the wall.

"Simple... That's never described you or me... Or even Vermil or Azur!"

Vermil merely let Samil fly back down. She worried about him. She wished he would tell her what's wrong but it was too much to ask apparently. She merely kept flying around. It was soothing for her hurting heart.

White purred and ignored everyone. Demonic problems weren't hers. She only worried about them when it caused her family troubles. Which was meant only these demons. She yawned and stretched. She'd just lock everyone in a nice big metal cat toy and let 'em duke it out.

Black walked out of his room and completely ignored the smell of Johnathan all over Kali's door. He didn't want to deal with anyone but his sister White, who he found in John's lap. He shook his head and went into the bar area. He mixed himself something nice and strong before walking back into the living room and plopping beside Johnathan.

Black looked up at his human name. "Huh? Oh, not really..." he said, completely drinking through his first drink. "Come, I need more of these..." He muttered before heading to the bar again.

David nodded as he walked beside him. "I noticed you were enclosed in ice, earlier, not that the cold via supernatural means affected me by much, but still! What's wrong?"

Black downed two more of those drinks and looked at the Angel-pet. "Kali... She... I know demons and it's in their nature to cheat but I was hoping her human side outweighed it just enough..." He sighed and rested his head on the cool counter. "Guess it didn't..."

Black snorted. "From what my nose, White's ears and Kali's door are saying, it was all mutual... Like... She gave him the okay to drink and she was enjoying..." He took more drinks, his face a flushed color now. "I hate being in this form... In my true form, I could just swim away from my problems..."

"I... honestly don't know what to make of that!" You could see David had mixed feelings on the matter. "I mean, for one, I'm relieved that he didn't target Lanuya! It's a... Guardian Angel thing, you know? Then again, I'm worried and confused, all at the same time! Maybe how Kali reacted to the sucking may have been a side effect! How would I know, though? I've only been a Nephilim for a few months! Still... I have an itchy feeling there is more going on than meets the eye! I still don't trust that Hell Demon! If he lays his hands or lips on Lanuya..." The mention of Johnathan possibly targeting the blonde made the Nephilim's blood boil, in addition to almost hissing.

Black snorted at the Angel-pet's reactions. "I doubt he will... White'll curbed that need and she'll feed him if needed. We Symbols are made up of many, many souls..." He reached up and ruffled the Angel-pet's hair. "Come on. I need to go for a swim and I'm drunk. I need someone to watch my scaly hide for Vermil..." He gave a small smirk and made off to the forest. But before he could leave, he ran into Kali. "Talk..? I'm drunk so why not?" He really didn't wanna open this can of worms until he was nice and drunk under a table

Black frowned back at Kali. Did she wanna talk or not...? "Okay then. I'll be going..." he told her and walked around her. "Can I go swimming so you can play with your demon pet thing..? I'm done with human feelings..." He muttered and began walking back outside. The minute he got out there he took off into the darkness and to a lake in the forest. "
