THE LAND BEFORE OURAN
EPILOUG: Tribes & Characters
The Suoh Tribe
Tamaki Suoh prince of the Suoh Tribe is a very caring friend, and acts as both their leader and the voice of guidance among them. He has a particularly strong relationship with Kyouya from the Ootori tribe, and supports him in everything he does. Tamaki is modest at heart, intelligent and playful, despite his traumatic upbringing. He believe that friendship goes beyond tribel boundaries. He is very good at making friends due to his upbeat attitude, all though his circle of friends consist off, Kyouya from the Ootori tribe, the twins Hikaru and Karu from the Hitachiin tribe, Mitsukuni from the Haninozuka tribe and Mitsukuni's cousin Takashi who is the last of the Morinozuka tribe. Although these are his closest friends, he along the corse of his growing up years will make many more friends.
The Ootori Tribe
Kyouya Ootori the third prince of the Ootori Tribe tends to be bossy and snobby but sometimes can be a nice young man who tries his best to be breave and prove to every one that he is worth something. He is prone to brag about his accomplishments, but tends to run away at the signs of any real danger. He can also be very sweet and caring, but that side of him is usually masked by his normally harsh exterior. Before he made friends with Tamaki from the Suoh Tribe Kyouya tended to be bitter, arrogant and like his father bigoted towards other tribes. Kyouya has two older brothers who he is constantly trying to compete with.
The Haninozuka Tribe
Mitsukuni though the oldest Prince of his tribe is very small in stature and young in appearance and is a very perky indavidual. He enjoys playing in water and in mud. Mitsukuni's mother, and his tribe adopted his cousin Takashi and Mitsukuni and Takashi were isaperable ever since. Mitsukuni rarely speaks in contractions, and is almost never heard to utter a generlaization. Mitsukuni has a very innocent personality and can become very agressive and protective of his friends. This is even more so true with his baby cousin Takashi, whom he tries to protect from conflic of any sort. He does not express anger often, and in fact, he is so unused to being angry that when he does become angry he can tend to become very violent.
The Last of the Morinozuka Tribe
Takashi is the 'mute' of the group, meaning he almost never speaks. However, as his older cousin Mitsukuni often says he can indeed speak though only when he wants to. When spike was young he was separated from his tribe, who most assume to be dead. He was adopted by his cousin's tribe and accepted as a second son to his aunt. Takashi though many don't notice it has a rather large appetite, and when others aren't paying attention he'll often grab something edible and eat it. For a long time Takashi's personality remained unknown to all save his cousin. There are many reasons Takashi remains silent, all of which he revealed to his older cousin. He stayed silent so he could hear the wind sing, a song that no on else could hear because they were always to busy talking. He also hates arguing, so he prefers not to talk. He often thinks his friends are very slow in the head for they often go out and get into danger, but despite this, he is very careing.
The Hitachiin Tribe
Hikaru is talkative, unlike his younger brother Karu, who often speaks in a form of broken Janglish. (Japanese/English) Karu had trouble linking verbs and would say 'he so nice' rather then 'he is so nice'. But besides that his brother Hikaru often refers to himself in the third person. Karu panics easily and is always afraid of doing something dangerous. In the beginning Hikaru was afraid of being alone, and depended on his younger brother to be his other half, though Karu was unaware of this and often believed that he relied to much on Hikaru, holding him back.
Fujioka Villager
Harahi a villager, after she became friends with Tamaki and his friends, is often the voice of wisdome, able to explain matters the others do not understand. She has a calm demeanor and shows kindness and empathy to others. A strange habit of hers is to sometimes immediately spreat herself in a sort of 'backwards' way. For instance, she might greet her friends in a manor such as this: "Good morning my friends; my friends good morning."
Princess Tonnerre
Eclair Tonnerre is a princess from Tamaki's homeland a large valley area that all call 'the valley of shinning light'. (paris) Eclair becomes very fawnd of Tamaki not only because he is the Prince of the Suoh Tribe, but because both have the same background, even though Tamaki is a 'half'. Tamaki is more then happy to play with her, but upon Eclair meeting his friends she becomes nervouse and quickly leaves, growing up in the old fashiond way, mixing with other tribes was wrong.
Well, that was the Epiloug, though it wasn't much of an Epiloug more of a tribe/character thing. Well I hope you'll go on to read the first chapter at least. I was going to write about them all like Kyouya and Tamaki and etc. parents, and other characters that will appear in this story but...that was alot of work so you'll learn more about them in the corse of the story...if you, read it that is.
