Taka is mine, he's part of a story inspired by a roleplay between a friend and I.

These people may get commissions with him of any sort, anyone else must have permission!

This wonderful ref sheet was commissioned by me from  eclectictoaster/ thecircus

Taka's life has been rough. At first, he was overjoyed to have a younger brother! His father became increasingly aggressive as time wore on, his mother couldn't handle the beatings well and one day, his father went too far and killed her. Taka looked nothing like either of them, his father was convinced his mate had slept with another male, which is how the poor lad got saddled with such a name. His younger brother resembled their father though. Taka soon had mixed feelings about his brother. A part of him was jealous and spiteful, father treated him much better and Taka was most certain it had been his fault their father went into a blind rage and killed their mother. He only knew it had something to do with the both of them, but looking at his brother is what had started the fight between them.

Taka was punished heavily for everything, even accused of making his brother do things and being punished for them as well. Taka sank into a deeper depression and drifted farther from his brother. With his mother gone and his brother, no fault of his own, was being treated much differently, Taka began to shut down. One fateful day, the boys were rushed to wash up, dress and leave. The younger kirin was full of questions that were either ignored, or told he'd see. Taka stayed silent, not wanting to be cuffed. Their father couldn't handle raising two boys on his own, no father would allow their daughter to become his mate after he'd killed his previous mate. The only solution, was what they were doing.

They arrived at a bustling village, there was a strange market there. Strange to the boys because they had never been to a market that sold...well, people. They followed their father into a tent and were ordered to sit. Their father vanished with a merchant, Taka's little brother looked at him, head tilted, "Are we going to have a new mom?" Taka stared silently for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders. "You never talk to me anymore..." His little brother sulked. Taka scrambled to his hooves when their father bellowed his name. He hurried out the flaps and found himself under a hard stare. He forced a smile at the merchant, then looked to his father. A strangled yelp of surprise rang out when a collar was slapped on his neck. "D-dad...?" His eyes full of hurt and betrayal.

He hadn't seen them since. He wasn't sure how many times since he was just a boy he'd been sold and bought. His first Master had given him the scar on his chest. Each new hand on his leash was a fresh hell, none were as bad as the first. Then She came. Mistress, She had checked the young man over, her fingers weren't gentle, nor overly rough. They poked and prodded, making sure he had all his teeth and any broken bones were long healed. Testing reflexes, the usual parts of making sure your new toy was healthy. Her smile was matched only by the devil himself, "I will be the last to own you." She stated, Her voice was strong and firm. Her scent, however, held blood and fear, mixed with some other odd things. By now, he'd learned not to trust anyone. Always be afraid. There was always pain in the future. Red was planning to show him he could learn to be a masochist, if he let go of his fear and mistrust. Their story is one of healing....in a crazy fashion. Under Her hand, he will learn to enjoy the pain he is given. Sometimes, at least.
