Name ;; Jirou
Story behind being 'split into two' OR 'why one side is crying' ;; Jirou was born strange, quiet among loud and rambunctious brothers, a listener instead of a fighter. He was somewhat of an outcast among his siblings, and was used to being alone. He was distant and cool, never obvious, but never forgotten. Even his parents were never all that in touch with him, and it seemed that the only one who could manage to get Jihou to drop is cold and emotionless shell was his brother, Amatus. Amatus was almost like his other half; outspoken where he was quiet, social where Jihou was isolated. These two got along surprisingly well, for being near opposites. Amatus was the only one that Jihou truely cared about, loving him closer than all of his siblings combined. For a time, everything was good. The prey was plentiful and there were always fun times to be had. However, it didn't last. An opposing pack invaded Jihou's tribe's territory, slaughtering his family and packmates. Jihou was never a fighter, and wasn't very good at defending himself. He would've died in that battle, but Amatus, the only one he really cared for, attacked Jihou's aggressor, saving his life. Amatus was severely injured, and later in the battle, he perished due to his wounds. Though Jihou's tribe won the battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Jihou was distraught at the loss of his brother, and left the pack, feeling unable to stand among the somnandi that had survived instead of his brother. The regret that he couldn't do anything to help Amatus caused him to almost abandon his calm and collected shell, even pushing him to shed tears for the first time in his life. Due to these regrets, Jihou tries not to become too attached to anyone else, not wanting to feel that misery again, though he is sympathetic to others who have lost their family. He has also become even more shut off than he had been before he and Amatus became close.
Gender ;; Male
Personality (can be explained briefly) ;; Is somewhat indecisive and quiet, a sort of solemnly silent creature. He's not shy, but he's not very outspoken either. He tries to word what he says carefully, and occasionally becomes very conflicted with himself. He hates the rain but enjoys calm and cool days, and he tends to prefer to stick to the shadows rather than being the center of attention. Though he seems cold and emotionless at times, he actually takes every word you may say about him to mind, and is actually quite sensitive. He does not like to speak of his past, and if he is strong enough, he is determined to help others.

[Update!]

I have finally created a more organized archive - a separate website or... Websites I should say :'D to contain every Somnandi made! Though it's kind of empty at the moment, it'll hopefully fill up in the future. :'>

Other than that, I finally made some not so decent decent art for "prettying" things up! ovo)/
As for the currently running contest, the entries so far are incredible, and I may take a few hours after the end date (which may or may not be extended) to come to the conclusion of which form will be the winning form. Annnnnnd aside from that, the contest ends somewhat soon, so for anybody who may be planning to enter soon, now or very soon is the time to get your form in!

Name ;; Yin Yang
Story behind being 'split into two' OR 'why one side is crying' ;; There were once two Somnandi, an aggressive, hateful female named Yin, and her pure, loving brother, Yang. Yin had too much dark, and Yang had too much light. People were terrified of Yin, but annoyed by Yang because he was too helpful and always got in the way. So they were kidnapped and fused together to have balance. Yin absolutely hates being fused together, and is always crying. Yang however, is still generally quite happy, although less so because of Yin's darkness balancing his light. They usually fightover who controls the body, although both of their souls are inside of it.
Gender ;; Yin, the black half, is female. Yang, the white half, is male.
Personality (can be explained briefly) ;; When Yin is in control, she is very depressed and aggressive. When Yang is in control, he is very kind and helpful.

-Reminder-
The contest ends today at 23:59 (or just... Server reset in other words ;p )
A new Somnandi is ready to be put up for adoption when the current contest ends, and for those who feel they have a "weakness" in writing stories, the next contest won't require those skills! Other than that, along with the Darktober event ending at reset (I believe), the contest will end and judging will commence shortly after. ;>

Alrightie, so the contest is now over, and with the wonderful help of my sister as far as judging, the winner is . . .
Navuso!
When I read the form, not only did I see a wonderful usage of words that allowed me to visualize what exactly happened behind the 'mystery' of this Somnandi "split into two", but I also feel that the story was very well thought-out and appealed highly to my emotions. Upon showing the forms to my sister, it appears to me that she thought the same about this specific form.

Nuferis Tide will soon be given his own page within the archives, and again, congratulations Navuso!
