Herd Announcement!
After discussion with Manda, we've come up with a herd name at last! From this point on, the "Paint It Black" herd will henceforth be called
The Tenebrous Herd! Additionally, ranks for the members have been added. They are as follows:
Collectors - Given to the majority, collectors are the mares and stallions that go and hunt or gather items on the peninsula for the herd's well-being. After gathering sufficient goods for the herd and returning to the home base within the volcano, they can choose to go out again to find things for themselves as individuals or others, or to stay inside the volcano. Collectors only emerge in the night time. (Unlimited and open to Soq and familiars.)
Sea Shades - A rank exclusively for the aquatic or partially aquatic herd members. Much like Collectors, but with more freedom, Sea Shades are trusted to go fend for themselves in their aquatic domain, but are charged with the responsibility to act as scouts if anyone should try to travel onto the peninsula. They are the guards of the water that surrounds the peninsula and if they happen to see something worthwhile that would benefit the herd, the underwater Collectors. These Soquili swim to deeper waters in the daylight and surface only under the night sky. (Unlimited, Mers, Seathi or Kelpie only or aquatic familiars only.)
Medicine Mares - A female-only rank. Medicine Mares are the healers, midwives and shamans of the herd. There can be one or many in the herd and have the freedom to choose what sort of practice they take on. So long as it leads back to medicine and is beneficial in one form or another to the herd, they can do, within reason, as they please. (Unlimited, mares only)
Sunstriders - The limited few Soquili in the herd that leave during the day, Sunstriders not only leave the volcano, but the peninsula as a whole. In times of need, they will leave their home and search for resources only found on the Kawani lands. They typically aren't gone for very long, because the sunlight affects even the strongest of Sunstriders, but if tasked with something of great importance by the herd, then they will seek the completion of their task with the greatest of urgency. (Limit of 7, more may be added with time.)
Get your ranks in when you can, but if you're interested in the Sunstriders, please write up 1-2 paragraphs on why you think your Soquili would be best suited for this rank. Note: At present there are only 6 positions available as one is presently taken by my own stallion, Ebon.)
