Age: Adult
Gender: Male
Type: Regular
Breed: Care Bear - Cosplay edition
Found: 12/25/07
Temper: Amused
Dam: none
Sire: none
Mate: Chatura
Familiar: Kanti
Personality:
Easy going and something of a over grown colt at times, he has a hidden serious side that only rarely shows itself. A vagabond by nature he loves to travail and hates being tied down in one place for too long. He has a severe case of wanderlust and an obsession with testing his physical body against all elements of nature.
History
As a young colt he was a wild child, but loved his family and his herd. Yet the need to travail had always lived within him, and as soon as he grew independent of his mother he left the herd to set out on a grand adventure, as was the way of most youngsters. Only this one didn’t leave for a week, or even a month. He left and never returned, instead he spends his days travailing around the soquili lands, meeting new faces and making new friends, and the occasional enemy on the way.
Recently he heard rumours that the lands to the north, where he originated from, have been over run by the White two-leggers and his entire herd destroyed, or at the very least, scattered to the four winds. Though he doesn’t show it, he has been deeply affected by the news and now, its not his wanderlust that keeps him from returning home, but the fear that he will discover the rumours to be true. Perhaps in the future, when he is older and wiser, he might go home and discover the truth for himself, but currently he is still a young stallion, clinging to his dreams and stubbornly remaining on his personal quest.

Plots Please PM me with ideas/offersHave completely revised Cloud's plot. In progress. Basic idea: -working on it-
History:
As a young colt he was a wild child, but loved his family and his herd. Yet the need to travail had always lived within him, and as soon as he grew independent of his mother he left the herd to set out on a grand adventure, as was the way of most youngsters. Only this one didn’t leave for a week, or even a month. He left and never returned, instead he spends his days travailing around the soquili lands, meeting new faces and making new friends, and the occasional enemy on the way.
Recently he heard rumours that the lands to the north, where he originated from, have been over run by the White two-leggers and his entire herd destroyed, or at the very least, scattered to the four winds. Though he doesn’t show it, he has been deeply affected by the news and now, its not his wanderlust that keeps him from returning home, but the fear that he will discover the rumours to be true. Perhaps in the future, when he is older and wiser, he might go home and discover the truth for himself, but currently he is still a young stallion, clinging to his dreams and stubbornly remaining on his personal quest.
Current:
During his wanderings he has been growing more and more discontent, knowing that he shoulld be going home but unwilling to do so, partly afraid of what he may find and knowing that once he does, he will never have the peace and freedom he has enjoyed. He is resisting the call when he runs into Cyn. The angeni, disguised as a human, orders Cloud to return and for better or wose, Cloud fially gives in, though unhappily, and starts on the long journey back to his homeland.
Future:
He returns home, finding his old lands desecrated and destroyed. The ghosts of his herd haunt the landscape, unseen by the two-leggers but felt by the animals. The land itseld cries out to the lone survivor, making Cloud uneasy and almost drives him away again. But the spirits appear to him, informing him of the events that had transpired since he left and that he was the lone survivor, giving him the responcibility of rebuilding the herd in new lands. His visit gives the spirits closure and allows them to pass on. For Cloud, the experience nearly breaks him and as he heads back to the kawani land he had grown to know and love, he carries a great sorrow.
From here, the plot opens some, he has the oppertunity of meeting and entering aherd, where he eventually becomes disillusioned by their 'happiness' and fights the alpha male. He loses and is driven from the herd once again. This doesnt need to happen, but his mental state is torn and troubled even without it. The mare who will be his mate needs to befriend him during this time if they had not met before his visit home. She would be the one to show him the joy of life agai and to give him back his hope. He will be a more mature and responcible stallion after all has passed, allowing him to fulfill his fate and become the leader of his own herd.
That is the jist anyway, the future plot is up for changes depending on if the meeting with the herd happens and the mare who will eventually become his lifemate.
- Cloud is a wanderer, meets many soquili of different tempers. He makes several friends and accuantiences, some that can go on to have more plot rps.
(- Meets a mare whom he wants to settle down with. Rp-intensive to get the couple comfortable with each other.) - optional
- Has a run-in with a Skinwalker/Kalona. (Aderes) Fights, recovers, ends up wanting to hang around her, she interests his more wild 'big bad stallion' side. Awaking him to the possabilities in life. If persuasive enough, he can turn down the wrong path, letting his dominant 'hee-man' side take over. Possibility for baskets.
- The baskets suddenly remind him that life isn't always dark and angry. He returns to his old self, though with some struggle. This is where his old friends come in and help him recover and come to terms with what he did.
- Once he has recovered sufficiantly, he goes in search of his first love, and if possible, they lifemate.
" Be my sanity and I will be your strength."
Players:
Aderes:
- Has met with Cloud and are fighting. (Skinwalker mate)
Notes
-Cloud survives the first fight, the mare captures his attention. A mare thats as strong as he is, and far more visious than he has ever encountered, not to mention how she looks. He is curious by nature and this will draw him in at first. Aderes will be the one to pull him over to his darker nature. He is no kalona, but even regular stallions can be nasty. It would be a gradual thing though, hes not going to just flip a switch.. but if he stays with her, or keeps meating up with her, he will become intrigued, maybe almost obsessed. He is easily influenced, so more time with her will be benifical. He will hunt with her, wanting to be the big strong provider.. even if she doesn't much appreciate it. He will work to be stronger, faster, meaner, to impress her.
- Aderes will most likely, remembering her other children and her loathing of them, will try to destroy the baskets if they manage to reproduce. This is what will awaken him to what has happened. He will steal the baskets away (or elsewise get them to safety), forcing him to abandon her and face himself.
Uwoduhi'Suli:
- Has met Cloud pre-Aderes plot. (Current friend, future lifemate)
Notes
After his experience with Aderes he will escape and find himself with his basket in 'Suli's homeland. They run across each other again and hopefully she will stay to help him recover. Possible plots later on with 'Suli's family (maybe Wild Wind?), especially her sister Vidia.

Familiar
 Name: Kanti (Hindi name meaning "beauty")
Gender: Female
Temper: Loyal
Breed: Mountain Lion
Personality: Kanti is a free spirit. A wanderer just like her soquili companion. She also loves to play and is a true optimist, yet also rather sarcastic. She has a dry sence of humour born from a life time of experiences. In some ways, she is Cloud's guide and advisor.
Story: No one knows why Kanti decided to leave her mountain home in order to follow the unusual blue stallion. And only a select few know the story behind the unusual blue-hued pair. Kanti and Cloud seem to be the best of friends and the perfect travailing companions. Typically she will lead and the blue stallion will follow her happily. She is the one who picks their direction, though Cloud suspects she has about as much reason as he does to go one way over another.
Even when the pair are split up, her to hunt, Cloud to rest, they are never far from each other, and seem to share a unique bond, always knowing where the other is, no matter the distance.

The moonlight cast everything in a shimmering silver hue, drawing the colours of the day out of the landscape to leave it stark and beautiful in tones of grey. The shadows of the individual blades of grass and leaf were each a work of singular beauty. The dark hulking form of the forest on the horizon seemed all the more menacing for the lack of colour, creating one single mass of darkness that appeared to harbour all manner of dangerous beasts.
The moonlight was bright out on the softly rolling hillside where the stallion stood. Head thrown back as he gazed heaven-ward at the sparkling display of stars in the darkness. The light breeze ruffled his coat which had taken on a soft shimmering grey hue. His short mane and tail rippling gently, darker than the startling silver of his chest and belly.
Eyes the same colour as the shadow at his feet studied the sky above, the vast diamond-studded dome that blanketed the land each night, eternal and yet ever-changing. It was the perfect night, the shy above crystal clear and bright with starlight, the moon full and high like a god gazing proudly down upon his domain.
Delicate velvet nostrils flared, the stallion's deep chest sucking in the crisp night air only to blow it out with a snort. Slender ears flickered, muscles flexed and shifted smoothly under silken hide. He was a stallion in the midst of his prime, the vigour of youth not yet tamed by the hard years of life, yet the lessons learned since foalhood had been learned well as knowledge was reflected in the creature's gaze like the moonlight that illuminated them.

elder app 2010 - http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?page=1&t=19393743#258432311
Name of Soquili and Link to Image: Cloud Runner Certed image
Link to Teepee: Teepee link & Cloud's page
Do you remember when your Soquili first maxed out? [Month and year if you do.] Sometime in March 2009. (Proof: April 1st bonus stats post)
Links to RP(s) that show how the Soquili has grown over time, proving his or her development into an Elder:
 The Freedom of Youth ~ Cloud is young and full of vigor. This is the day he 'escapes' from his family herd and sets out to explore the world beyond the mountains. Cloud's family is a herd that lives on the north of the mountain range, between the high peeks and the desert beyond. They occupy a small area of hilly country where the rainfall in the mountain peeks has allowed grass and trees to grow above the heated lowland of the desert. None of Cloud's family, that he knows of, has ever climbed the mountain rang an gone to see whats on the other side. This was the young foal's dream and in this self-rp, he takes that first step on the path that will dictate his future.
... Cannibal? ... & Carebear fun ~ We skip ahead to see Cloud as an energetic young stallion, fully enjoying his life on the open road, travailing when and where he likes. He loves to meet new soquili and approaches everyone with a happy-go-lucky attitude, as of yet not having met any unsavory characters, but fully aware of tales of the skinwalkers and kalona. At this point he has been meeting many young soquili and is thoroughly enjoying life, care free and without responsibility.
Where have I been - This rp, though unfinished, is just a cute little scene between Cloud and a couple of other stallions. Here, he has grown into his muscular mountain-bred body, but is still very much the wonderlust filled youth.
A Stormy Nights Dream ~ Cloud got caught in a storm and mets a very pretty but young mare. He finds himself wanting to reassure her and while not really knowing how, he strikes up a conversation.
Cloud is protective by nature, despite his wondering ways. He carries within him a deep fear of being trapped in one place, of being caught up by family and forced to stay in one spot, seeing the same things day after day, no excitement, no wild racing, no exploring. As a youngster he adored his family, but he needed more, and as he explores the Kawani land and claims it as his own, he comes to love the freedom of the wild open landscape and huge rolling forests. These things he associates with the land, so very different from his mountain homeland where their space was limited by where the river fed green growth, and where running too far and too fast will see you running right off a cliff face. Mistakenly, Cloud has associated the landscape with a way of living, and has convinced himself that if he became attached to anyone, he would be trapped in one area for the rest of his life.
Where the wind whistles ~ Here, Cloud is at the height of his strength, wild and free he pushes himself to the extreme in order to feel that wild thrill. After conquering a particularly inhospitable mountain he meets a mare who he comes to believe is the wind spirit. She leaves him a feather than he keeps as a symbol of true freedom.
This rp convinces him that the only way to be free, is to be a wanderer, he longs for wings to explore further, to go faster, yet is realistic enough to understand that such is mealy a dream and will never happen. With his unquenchable spirit, Cloud accepts the challenge fate has given him, that of being land-bound, and becomes that much more determined to be free. Speed and distance is his challenge and he accepts it with vigor, determined to prove himself.
A Mad Dash ~ Even with his desire to be free and to reach the end of the wold on all sides, he still delights in simply living, in being alive and seeing others the same way. Every new meeting is exciting for him, and with youth's penance for thinking itself immortal, he has no fear of flinging himself in the path of danger to protect life. In this rp he saves a mare from a pack of wolves, and rather than being scared, he is exhilarated. Too young still to have learnt that such things may not always end for the good. He aspires to be as good a stallion as his father was, a protector and someone of untold strength (at least in the eyes of the young colt as he was then) and currently this philosophy has not yet clashed with his desire to run free and unfettered.
Chasing the Blues Away ~ Cloud runs into Kairi and her familiar friend. Ever curious and still somewhat innocent, he easily approaches them both and makes friends. She offers to take him to see the local two-legger village and being the curious, life-loving stallion he is, he can not resist. Assured by her calm reaction when they get there, he is content to let the two-leggers of the camp approach and touch him. Their world fascinates him, the scents and smalls all new and exciting, just one more thing to explore and understand.
Frog Prince ~ Cloud is back to wandering again and meets a young colt. He has never thought about kids for himself and even in this meeting, it doesn't occur to him. Kids mean family and family means a loss of freedom. Yet still he adores the young, finding them to be generally excitable and full of the wonders of life, just like himself. He tells the youth a story he heard on his travails, thinking the colt looked a little like one of the characters in the story. This rp was plotted, but remained unfinished due to RL.
Woah.. whats that? & Tolerance through curiosity ~ Cloud has his first personal meeting with a skinwalker, and realised that all the stories about them are true, and even a little tame. After surviving a fight with the crazy mare, in which a lucky blow to an old injury almost certainly saves him from being that night's dinner, he is still living up to his father's image in being honorable and forthright, and when a pack of wolves finds them, he decides that a lame skinwalker made better company than nothing at all, and with her, he fights off the pack of wolves in a desperate bid for survival. In this rp he learns that there is no clear distinction between good and evil, but that life is full of grey areas and it is up to him to make a decision and then to handle the consequences. This time, it worked out for the better, but he comes away with a healthy respect for a race many consider simply insane. (Scars from the battle to carry over to his elder form if possible?)
New Friendships Are The Best ~ What is youth without love? Cloud comes across the most beautiful mare he had ever seen. Coat of russet sunset and wings of strong feathers. Entranced, he falls instantly and hopelessly in love. (Unfinished due to rl)
More than one kind of Danger ~ Things had been looking so good for the blue stallion, young love had bloomed and his familiar Kanti had given her blessing, but as is the way of things, life can not be all rainbows and roses, and disaster befalls the young male. Their resting spot is discovered, (later Cloud comes to think it is because he lingered too long in one place) and hunters come for him. He puts up a brave fight, but there are some things even he can not escape from and the trappers win their prize. Cloud gets taken far away to where the white-skinned two-leggers are slowly invading the Kawani landscape.
Dark storms ~ Fate is not always such a cruel mistress, and one night the wind that he so loved to run with offers him a way out of the two-leggers trap. Gathering the others who had been unfortunate enough to join him, he makes his escape and leads the soquili away from the humans. This is the first time he truly goes out of his way to help others when his own freedom is at stake. There is no honor in this rescue, but the simple and deeply held respect for all life and the slowly awakening maturity of a full grown stallion.
Aftermath ~ Some weeks after the escape, Cloud has nearly finished returning all the other soquili to their rightful homes. He tells himself it is because he wants to get rid of them, the mare's constant shattering and their apparent dependence on him is so alien to him that he feels threatened by it, but as the numbers following him slowly dwindle, he is shocked to discover that he actually misses their company, the constant presence and reassurance of their shapes at night, the sense of purpose looking after them on the long journey had given him. Rebelling against his own revelation, Cloud sends the last few home and, with a heart heavy with grief, loss and confusion, sets off into the unknown once again to look for Kanti. Though this time, his happiness at being free is tainted with the memory of that brief time with a herd of his own, though the loss of 'Suli, who he manages to convince himself has to hate him for leaving, blots out this new realisation about himself.
A beautiful sunset ~ Months later he runs into another mare. During this time he has forced himself to forget all that had happened, the capture, the loss of Suli, and strange feeling of the herd and his new found desire for companionship. Instead, Cloud has done what all headstrong young men do and has forced himself to be what he was, carefree, wild, untameable. Yet in the shadows of his mind, new insecurities and thoughts are bubbling. Due to this he is even more impulsive than before, and embraces every new moment in order to block out the old. Mentally running from the guilt he still bears.
Daffodil`s Should be Blue ~ At last, someone finds him who has a few words to speak on his current life style, and Cloud finally gets the tongue lashing he has been in dire need of. The fact that the one responsible talks in riddles and speaks soquili yet has the appearance of a two-legger certainly helps to get the message through Cloud's thick skull and makes him actually think about his life. After re-evaluating his current situation, and knowing the guilt he bears will eventually drive him mad, he relents and promises to go home. So it is with some dream and nervousness, the blue stallion's wandering days come to a close and he turns back the way he had come, now set on a course back to the mountains of home.
Two worlds away from Truth ~ Cloud is now on his way back through the land he had raced down, rediscovering old watering holes and places he had been before, the sense of the familiar is both a comfort and something he dislikes. The new 'him' disturbs him and has set him in something of a bad mood. At this point he meets a mare he really would have rather he had not.. the first time he has regretted meeting a new face. She follows him, driving his dark mood even further down and making him feel less secure about himself. How low would he had to stoop before the Fates forgave him?
Best of Intentions ~ Another day and another meeting, this time Cloud gets shaken to the very core of his being as he intercepts a kalona hunting her dinner. The blue mare looks so much like himself that he can't help but get himself involved, despite the weariness of his heart. He defends her from the beast, having remembered the lessons leart while fighting the grey-coated skinwalker, he concentrates on the vulnerable parts of the Kalona, finally persuading her that this meal was one that was simply too much hassle. Though he is under no illusion that the mare is safe, its the best he could do at the time and he has no regrets about it.
While recovering from the fight, she starts to talk to him and for the first time in too long, he feels something inside that is not dark and depressive. There is something about her, an independence and warmth that reminds him of the past. Not exactly of himself, but of the feelings, the desires and the joy of living. She clearly is a traveler, even if it is not in the same way he was, she has been seeking something, searching out something important to her and her curiosity is catching.
Light blooms in the dark recesses of his disturbed mind. A light brought on by this blue mare... Her strong mind and obvious dedication to her quest stirs an old flame within him. Though he knows he has a duty to fulfill, it weighs just a little bit less. (ongoing)
Future plot:
Cloud travails on to his homeland, and after climbing the mountain he discovers why the spirits were so instant he returned. There is nothing left... the green valleys are bare, empty of sight, sound, scent. His family, gone. This had always been Cloud's fear, and the reason that once away, he had never considered returning. He was the last one. It is at this point that he realizes what he has to do, that he has to give up the life of a wanderer, and take up the reins from his father. I hope to have another rp with Cyn Generis for this section.
His future will then be dedicated to forming a new herd with Chatura, honoring the spirits of his family and starting his own. He will finally accept what he is and put aside the childishness of his past, will take responsibility for the lives of others and strive to be the best that he can be, for others and not himself. The wind will always sing in his heart, but he will share it with his family. No longer a wanderer, no longer alone, but will eventually realise that family does not mean to be trapped, it simply means he has those that he can share the joys of life with, to live those joys with and pass on his love of live to others.
Why would your Soquili (IC) choose the Elder path?
Cloud has been on a long journey, seen so very many things and been to so very many places. He will always carry the grief of what he did, what he lost in his childish lack of understanding, but he has learned and grown and come to understand that there is more than just his wants and needs. He has a love of life, of all life, and wishes to safeguard that for the future generation, and to teach his children so that they might avoid the mistakes he himself made. He will always mourn that which he threw away, but wants to honor those who have passed and protect the future of his family.
For Cloud, becoming an elder is not the end result of his life, it is the start of a new chapter, a new beginning for him to right that which he did wrong and to live up to the expectations of those around him. It is a standard, higher than himself, for which he needs to strive, not for his own pride, but for the safety and security of his family. It is for them that he wishes to gain new heights, for them that he now lives. For without family, life is a hollow, empty place, it just took a long time for him to realise it.
Why have you chosen the Elder path for your Soquili OOC?
Mine is partly a classic reason. Cloud was gifted to me by a good friend, and from the day I aquired him I wanted to give him the story he deserved. I beleive everyone's first soq is special to them, and Cloud is no different. He has a unique place in my heart, not only because he is the first, but because after all this time, he is a character that has slowly grown and developed, mostly without my knowing, into what he is today. He has made mistakes, and I have made mistakes with him. I have learnt about the soquili world through his eyes and with him, I have come to learn about the shop, its wonderful players and fantastic artists.
I feel that he has matured over the past years, grown into the character I had always hoped he would. To become an elder would not only be proof of this growth within him as a character, but would open the door for the next stage of his development. I certainly don't plan to get him as an elder then leave him to sit on the sidelines. If he is successful in his elder application, he will move on, embracing his new role, and with it, being able to offer more to the world of soquili than he does currently. He will never stop learning, never stop developing.. His struggles to overcome the foolishness of youth and a lifetime spent escaping the past will be put to use. Offering the chance for the younger generations to learn from his mistakes in order that they would not be repeated.

Elder application ~ in progress Name of Soquili and Link to Image: Cloud Runner & Nude cert
Link to Teepee: Teepee
Links to RP(s) that show how the Soquili has grown over time, proving his or her development into an Elder:
The Freedom of Youth ~ The glory of freedom. Cloud enters the Kawani lands.
... Cannibal? ... & Carebear fun ~ Cloud runs into another 'carebear' soquili, reassures the male hes not eating a family member in the clover and the pair then decide to go on a quest to find more like them, also speculation on what powers each would have from their markings
Where have I been - Random encounter between men
A Stormy Nights Dream ~ Meeting another - offers assisstance to a flighty filly.
Where the wind whistles ~ Climbs a mountain and meets a mare who he beleives is the wind spirit. She leaves him a feather than he keeps as a symbol of true freedom.
A Mad Dash ~ Saves a mare from a pair of wolves, willing to fight to protect another.
Chasing the Blues Away ~ A visit to the two-leggers village. What are these weird creatures? Fun and tasty treats follow.
Frog Prince ~ Runs across a colt whom he regales with a tale (Story of the Frog Prince). (Plotted, rp unfinished)
Woah.. whats that? * Tolerance through curiosity ~ Discovers a healthy respect for skinwalkers, fights for his life. (Scars to carry over to his elder form if possible?)
New Friendships Are The Best ~ Falls head over heals for 'Suli
More than one kind of Danger ~ Run in with trappers, learns that not all two-leggers are friendly, looses track of 'Suli
Dark storms ~ Escapes the humans
Aftermath ~ Resumes wandering, seeking to forget. Finds himself in a new land, feels guilty over abandoning 'Suli and loosing Kanti, afraid to return and discover the truth.
A beautiful sunset ~ Meets Mel and forms friendship, seeks to offer support but unsure how. (trying to assuge his guilt over his first failure to Suli)
Daffodil`s Should be Blue ~ Discovered by Cyn and given the proverbal smack upside the head.
Two worlds away from Truth ~ Sent on a journey to face his past. The words spoke by the strange two-legger weighs heavily on a wandering soul.
Best of Intentions ~ Troubles comes a-callin' .. again! Saving a pretty maid from a kalona. She lifts the darkness of his troubles from his shoulders.
xXx ~ Discovers his homeland, a wasteland full of restless spirits.
xXx ~ Visited by ghosts, appolagies are offered and old wounds finally confronted.
xXx ~ Meets an older soquili, offered words of wisdom and comfort. Realises mortality is full of mistakes and sees the path towards acceptance of himself.
xXx ~ More mature and level headed, healed from the mistakes of his past, benevolent and surportive. No longer seeking wild adventure and danger, a more settled, contented soul. (Hopefully reunites with an old flame/discovers companionship and accepts the responcibility of a family.)
Why would your Soquili (IC) choose the Elder path?
Why have you chosen the Elder path for your Soquili OOC? Mine is partly a classic reason. Cloud was gifted to me by a good friend, and from the day I aquired him I wanted to give him the story he deserved. I beleive everyone's first soq is special to them, and Cloud is no different. He has a unique place in my heart, not only because he is the first, but because after all this time, he is a character that has slowly grown and developed, mostly without my knowing, into what he is today. He has made mistakes, and I have made mistakes with him. I have learnt about the soquili world through his eyes and with him, I have come to learn about the shop, its wonderful players and fantastic artists.
I feel that he has matured over the past years, grown into the character I had always hoped he would. To become an elder would not only be proof of this growth within him as a character, but would open the door for the next stage of his development. I certainly don't plan to get him as an elder then leave him to sit on the sidelines. If he is successful in his elder application, he will move on, embracing his new role, and with it, being able to offer more to the world of soquili than he does currently. He will never stop learning, never stop developing.. His struggles to overcome the foolishness of youth and a lifetime spent escaping the past will be put to use. Offering the chance for the younger generations to learn from his mistakes in order that they would not be repeated.
Elder tattoo wanted?: Kanati - ("The Lucky Hunter." Sometimes called First Man. He lives with his wife Selu ("Corn") in the east where the sun rises, and their sons, the Twin Thunder Boys, live in the west.) -symbol: hatchet
Where?: On his closest back ankle, facing to the side. (And added to his cert if possible?)
xXx ~ Seeks solace in a herd, hoping to heal from his pilgrimage.
xXx ~ Instead of finding peace of mind, he becomes distressed, the reality of what he had missed forced upon him
xXx ~ Cloud snaps, challanges the herd protector for leadership, desperate to find 'home' and a place he belonged.
xXx ~ Lost the fight, lost the herd.. back to wandering
