Without rest or pause—while those frumious jaws
Went savagely snapping around—
He skipped and he hopped, and he floundered and flopped,
Till fainting he fell to the ground.

About Me:
Vorpal is the illegitimate child of a Shadow Ulun'suti and a Kelpi stallion. Abandoned at birth, he has no memory of his parents or family and believes that he was sucked into Kawani after the destruction of his home world, which he refers to simply as 'Wonderland'. Vorpal is not evil but he is a naturally dangerous stallion to cross paths with, he is nocturnal, more due to his personality than to any physical objection towards the sun, he simply prefers dark and gloomy places. Vorpal is often childishly cruel although he somehow maintains a strange sort of twisted innocence even in his cruelty. Despite this, he is reasonably intelligent, in a depraved sort of way and enjoys coming across new acquaintances. He is rarely angered and behaves in a warm, friendly, albeit slightly creepy manner towards any soquili he deigns to start a conversation with. Still, be warned, while he may seem kind and genuine one minute, it is entirely possible he will try to lure you into a deadly trap in the next, without losing an inch on his too wide smile.
Vorpal extracts much entertainment by luring unsuspecting soquili and kawani into potentially life threatening situations, or getting them lost in his twisted and nonsensical section of forest. He can be difficult to get to know, evasively cunning in his ability to sidestep questions about himself on a personal level, and more than a little deranged. His advice, when offered, is often cryptic, unhelpful, and vexatious to unravel and he loves twisting other people's words to his own benefit or amusement. He spends the majority of his time in a swampy area within the densely wooded tum tum tree forest, the canopy is so thick it is a world of perpetual twilight. There are many wandering nonsensical paths that weave and turn through the twisted trees surrounding his home, which are covered with unhealthy looking glowing mushrooms that provide just enough light to see by
He enjoys Swimming, darkness, eating the glowing mushrooms, scaring people and playing tricks on them, making shadow puppets, frightening people with his shadow puppets, seducing ladies with his creepy awkwardness, spying on people lost in his forest, singing, making up crazy stories
Abilities:
He can create small transparent shadow creatures with his power, they cannot move or speak on their own but Vorpal likes to project them onto a solid surface and has been known to have extended conversations with them while they last.
If Vorpal stays in an area for an extended period of time (a few days to a week) the shadows gradually become deeper and darker, this is something that happens passively because of his shadow Ulun'suti ancestry. He cannot control it, but it does draw on his strength, thus he usually never stays in one specific area for too long.
He is carnivorous, preying mostly on small animals.
His swirly, shadowy coat breaks up his body in the darkness, rendering him nearly invisible at night and allowing him to sneak up on prey, or whoever else he has a mind to with relative ease. In contrast his golden eyes, horns, and claws glow in the dark so he will often camouflage them with mud when he is hunting.
Vorpal's tail is too thick and heavy to allow him to fly with ease but his powerful leathery wings allow him to glide for short distances. He is an excellent swimmer, he uses his wings like paddles to propel himself foreword swiftly and his tail allows him to navigate gracefully with skill and precision. He loves the water and will often lurk in murky ponds, rivers, or lakes with only his the top of his head breaking the surface. He can hold his breath longer than most soquili although not quite as long as a full blooded kelpi, his strange, constantly whirling eyes allow him to see both in the dark and underwater.
Vorpal is nocturnal by choice, the sun dries out his fins and he doesn't blend in as well. There are rare occasions when he will move around during the daylight hours but it is not his preference. He can usually be found in dense forests and swamps.
