Intro

Two glowing green eyes peer at you from the darkness. Curse this gate, it's alerted some vile monster to your whereabouts. Four green ovals also glow vibrantly near the ground, where you assume its legs would be. Slowly, the creature approaches you. Another, equally green light appears above it, illuminating a face. No, not a face.

A skull.

The living dead have risen to greet you in this wretched graveyard. When you'd said you wanted to visit Granny, you hadn't meant face-to-face!

Screaming, you throw your bouquet at the skull, as though it might repel the thing and save your life. The floral arrangement bounces off the body of the skeleton and lands at its feet. The green lights cast the flowers in a strange glow.

Ouch! a small voice squeaks, and you shriek again. It speaks!

Why did you do that? it asks plaintively. By the voice, you assume it's a male. And it sounds hurt. You suddenly feel a little sorry for whatever this thing is. I wasn't gonna do anything, swear it!

Suddenly, the green light above the thing's head expands to light up the entire area around the two of you. Make that three of you, though, because you see that the source of the light is a Buzzler, perched upon its master's skull. And upon further inspection, you realize that the large bone isn't really the thing's head, but merely a mask over what appears to be a Bori head.

Uh... pardon me! you say nervously.

The maybe-Bori blinks, and for a moment the bright green lights of his eyes are extinguished. Oh, it's no problem, he says, and looks down at the flowers. Pawing at them - and here you realize that maybe he isn't actually a Bori, because he is lacking the characteristic claws that all Boris have - he says thoughtfully, They're quite pretty... may I keep them?

You're startled by this question, but since you still don't want to be eaten or anything, you nod mutely.

The not-really-Bori perks at this. Oh thank you, thank you! he exclaims excitedly. No one has ever given me a present before! Well, except for Mr. Flynn, but I don't think that really counts... maybe it does? I don't know. I-

He stops mid-sentence and looks up at you again, as though just realizing you're there. Excuse me, but would you happen to be interested in a cup of tea? It's been so long since I've had any visitors, and I'd really love to sit and talk with someone. Scab is my only companion, you see, and he isn't very much of a conversationalist, are you Scab? Once again, the not-really-Bori seems to forget about you as he turns green eyes on the Buzzler atop his head.

You're afraid that he will go off on another tangent, so you quickly agree. Tea sounds fine, thank you.

Oh, good! he says happily. Please, follow me! I'm sure you'll love the tea, Mr. Flynn gave it to me himself. Says it's King Hagan's favorite. And I'll tell you all about myself while we're at it too, it'll be so fun! He scoops up the flowers in his tail - which is uncannily Bori-like - and bounds away into the darkness, chattering excitedly. You hurry after the bright green lights that he and Scab leave in their wakes.

Toukere: The Story

Toukere was created, or "born", by Versi, a scientist. Soon after his creation, he was put to work by the Lupe, mainly as an "assistant" although in reality it was more like slavery. Toukere's jobs varied, being anywhere from doing the laundry or making dinner to helping Versi in the lab or stealing equipment. Versi had been so pleased with his creation that he began a new project, so he used Toukere's abilities to his advantage as he made another life form.
However, the Lupe had done such a good job at simulating a real being that Toukere had his own personality. Unfortunately for Versi, that personality happened to be spunky and excited. Toukere's happy disposition didn't work with Versi's own, darker personality, and eventually the Lupe got fed up with the Bori's innocent and delightful antics and locked the little Toukere away. It wasn't a dungeon per say, but it may as well have been one. Toukere got neither nutrition nor checkups, and there was no light at all. His mechanics got rusted and clogged with dust, and eventually he shut down.
When Toukere was finally switched back on again, he didn't know how much time had passed or how he had come to be freed. He could see light now, and unfamiliar but friendly faces. He was told by a green canine who he later came to know as Kyal that Versi - who Toukere always called Master - had been arrested and Toukere was now free. However, the little Bori didn't know very much of anything about how to take care of himself, so Kyal decided to take him under his wing.
Kyal took Toukere to the Haunted Woods. He gave Toukere a small shack in a graveyard and charged Toukere with the job of groundskeeper for the graveyard. Toukere was delighted to have so much trust put on him, and took his job very seriously.
A few weeks into his new life at the graveyard, Toukere met a ghost who lived there. The Yurble - for that's that the ghost was - was named Veve, but Toukere much preferred to call him Vivi. The two became friends, although Veve was somewhat impatient towards Toukere's bubbly attitude towards everything, and now spend their lives in each other's company (there isn't much else to do when one is confined to a small plot of land dedicated to housing the dead).

Obviously this would all be fleshed out much more into a real story if I adopted Toukere. However, that's just the basis of his life.
