So since I just found a great voice claim for him, I thought I'd do a formal introduction to my S/I that I ship with Aki from Blush Blush.
So this is Claine, he's a scottish (I have both Irish and scottish ancestry) kelpie. He's playful and bubbly and silly, sharing a love of pranks and games with Aki. Doesn't mean he can't be serious though, and he may be the one to tell Aki when it's time to stop playing around. Their dynamic is kinda like partners in playful, innocent crime. :3 He doesn't wear too many clothes, especially in his time before Aki. Nothing save for the silver necklace that kelpies are supposed to have, and a few drapes to use when out among humans. Kelpies are said to keep their hooves in their human form, which he does, but I haven't found anything to use for that yet. Claine doesn't have a more aquatic form as he just kinda becomes the water when in a more spirit-like form. Yet, his horse form can breathe both air and water, as it has both lungs and gills. He also does live in the water.
as for lore- Kelpies are usually seen as evil spirits that can turn into beautiful humans and lure people into the water to drown them. This is untrue for Claine, as he's never killed anyone and he's also never met any other kelpies, much less ones that are evil. But because of the way he's seen, he's kept a low profile and isolated himself as much as possible out of fear.
One day, Aki, in his kitsune form, finds Claine's body of water and takes a drink from it. Claine is too curious about what he knows is another spirit, and makes himself known by splashing him. They befriend each other and eventually Aki takes him to his home where the other kitsunes are. Claine is totally awed by the other spirits. From then on they play together in both worlds, in human or animal form, and fall in love while doing so.
Here's that voice claim and lovely song for my ship:
yes, I am aware that this man is Irish. If I find a speaking voice for Claine, it'll be a scottish man rest assured. Anyway thanks for reading this long post and I hope you like my s/i.
