falcon and shiokaze

Oliver, or Zixuna as most have called him for who knows how long, usually didn't get to many moments to just wonder. He normally stayed away from the village, trying to keep the quiet during this time and his presence would certainly make some head turns. At the moment, he had some family business to attend to, at least he did and at this point he was stalling by taking the long way back.
He was rather tall, just over six feet which had him better representing the taller goddess he was. His hair was a dark brown, having darkened over the years from a lighter brown. He had dark blue eyes which in combination was a stark contrast to his paler skin from the lack of time out in the sun. Eventually he needs to get outside to get his skin looking less like a ghost. Maybe he could get some more time come tomorrow. At the moment, to keep heads from turning, he wore simple clergy clothes, nothing as extravagant as he wore when he was back at the temple.
Despite everything that could be considered 'wrong' with his situation to an outsider, he really was happy where he was at. He always knew he would be in this position, when he was younger, he just thought 'that's me' without much thought when hearing about the deities to this area. It wasn't until he was actually chosen that he understood why. He became even more excited when he was called to be Zixuna, excited to be with his counterpart, a girl who was probably a year younger than he is.

(that feels like a mess xP I have been trying to fix it and I think I keep making it worse)

(I thought she was going to be not chosen? I don't really mind either way though)

(lol, they are literally the exact opposites of each other. That is amazing xD)
(Sounds good. I guess I should mention how Zixuna is pronounced Zix(rhymes with six)-oona(like luna without the l))

(It's fine )
(sorry about that, had a wedding to attend. Yeaaah)

As Oliver left the main city area, he felt more confident in being able to take the road with few people actually seeing him. So he changed his direction to take the road back up to large temple where the priests were waiting for him to return. Thinking about it, his mind started to wonder on if he had any actual plans other then seeing family, now wondering if he should lie and say 'it took longer than expected'. He could always go back to his family and spend more time with them, he did cut it a bit short and they probably wouldn't mind, right?
Shaking the idea out of his head, he knew that he would be told that a goddess being too attached to his family was something that shouldn't be shown to the public. Part of him wished that such a thing wasn't a problem, but the other part knew why it was a problem. Playing favorites has always been a concern of the people, even back when they were first being worshiped. That ended badly. Oliver thought with a smirk.
He lifted his head from hiding his small laugh to see someone approaching on the road. His first thought wasn't that she would be intimidated by randomly meeting him, but rather that she must spend a lot more time outside. Not wanting to pull attention to him, he just gave a smile he wasn't sure she would see.

(alright-- so Ira is, in my head, the actual reincarnation, but another person (i don't know if you have a gender preference for this) could have been the the one 'chosen' by the elders to represent Amates? idk idk. i feel weird just throwing them aside as a minor character to rp sometimes but, then again, it's our fiction and we can do what we want lol)

Ira spotted someone walking along the same path, the buildings of the town’s outskirts now in view. The person was wearing clothing a bit unusual for the area: that of the priests and elders at the nearby temple. Perhaps this person is collecting donations for the temple, she thought. Or simply visiting the area?

She gave him a small, almost wary wave in return. “Hello,” she said.

(sorry to take a while. i'll probably be able to reply later today after getting some chore stuff done.

(oops. sorry omg. i promise i'm still alive. i will respond with a reply when i can)

A clergyperson this far from their temple was already strange. And here, this guy was making small talk with her. Ira glanced to the side for a moment before bringing her hands together.

“Oh-- my family’s running low on some spices, and certain crops we don’t have, so I’m heading to the market in the town’s center,” she explained, resting one hand on her hip. “If it’s not improper to ask… what brings you this way?” asked Ira, c0cking her head. She did her best to stifle a suspicious tone.


(would it be alright for the chosen/'fake' amates representative to be a male character? as pathetic as it is, i only have a few female oc's in my head, and several more ideas for guys i could use)

(hey, are we still gonna do this? Or did you get bored of it)

(That makes sense, college is hard to get through. I'm not bored, I'm just making sure you weren't really.
Get yourself organized, college is expensive so make sure you get the grades you need to get the credits you need )

(All good. I will try to give more to reply to)

Oliver shrugged "Maybe, she is from the town so it is possible that you have seen her around." It was up in the air if they had met or not, as his sister was not one to flaunt the fact that her brother was a god. So it was possible. "Her name is Alaina if that rings a bell at all" He suggested, though not fully convinced that the two knows each other.

(NP. Just do what you gotta do and I will wait.)

(Yeaaaah )

"Older siblings? what are their names if you don't mind sharing?" Oliver thought it would be at least a bit appropriate to ask about Ira's sister's as she had asked about his own.
"Thank you" Oliver said, taking a moment to gather the rest of his thoughts before continuing "Well my duties will cut into family time quite a bit, I really don't mind" For the most part He added in his head, he had learned through the years that the full truth tended to upset people.

Ira was right, He didn't recognize either of those names-though he probably should get more serious on memorizing all the town's residents. He cracked a bit of a smile when she mentioned him visiting his sister, it was true but the conversation ended on him half threatening to shirk his responsibilities unless they let him go. He would admit it was an....extreme way of going about it.
Oliver turned his head up to the sky, keeping his eyes from staring at the sun. "I guess" He mused, though unsure if that was really the case, his partner never really showed that he could use his own powers. It seemed between the two of them, he was the only one with direct control over his own, but it was possible he was doing it without realizing it. "I hope the crops don't suffer because of this" He muttered, though admitting in his head he wasn't well versed on how to care for crops.
