Soquili Species: Angeni/Kalona Crossbreed
Body Build: Warhorse, with long fetlocks.
Gender: Male
Starting Stage: Adult
Concept Origin: Result of the application of my love of natural-hued Soquili to a stunning plot idea. <3 ... in 2009.
WIP Needed? I trust you with him. <3.
~*~ Tag Specifics ~*~Name of horse: Yanisin
(
Navajo name meaning "Ashamed.")
Owner: The Dawn of Twilight
Breed: Stigma (Angeni/Kalona Crossbreed)
Temper: Torment
~ For later:
Mate: Lalaith Tag Background:/
Tag frame color:/
Tag feather color(s): 005 (Magic Forest by Ameh) with 023 (Falling Stars by Ameh) set to "Hard Light" layered above it. Then make it lighter (New Adjustment Layer - Levels - set the middle box under input layers to "1.5") and make the tag Grayscale. It should come out like this: CLICK.
I think "The King and Queen" font would look nice for his name, but feel free to use a different one if you are inspired.
~*~ Colors & Markings ~*~[
Coloration]:
"Silver Dapple" coat color- Rich chocolate hue that darkens to almost-black at muzzle, legs, along back, and tip of tail.
Mane a shiny champagne tone with cream, pure white, and chocolate.
[Eyes]:
Very pale (almost white) grey. Area around the eyes should be very dark (almost black) to make them more vibrant.
[
Leg Markings]:
Front left and back right legs have white feathering. (
Note: Reference image got that wrong!)
[
Face Marking]:
Thin white blaze along center of nose.
[
Front Left Hoof]:
Front left hoof cream with black "stripe".
[
Back Right Hoof]:
Back right hoof black with two thin white "stripes".
(Other hooves
pure black).
[
Mane]:
Falls to mid-chest. Parted haphazardly on either side of neck. CC exact style.
Coloration.
[Wings]:
Both wing pairs match coat coloration. Each feather should show a range of depth.
Membrane of Upper wing pair (Kalona Wing Style 3) is semi-translucent and shows subtle "
veining" patterns. Spikes are black (matching hooves).
Lower wing pair (Angeni Wing Style 2) is semi-transparent
[Scars]:
Two scars (one along cheekbone, a smaller one intersecting the first) on right cheek.
Three scars, like claw-marks, across right shoulder.
Reference Images: I've saved them in Yanisin's [
Photobucket Folder], if you'd like to snatch them from there, otherwise they're dispersed throughout my descriptions. And [
Art Reference] (note that only his front left and back right legs have the white fetlocks).
~*~ Physical Traits ~*~Horn(s):- Angeni head-wings
Wings:- Upper wing pair: Kalona Wing Style 3
- Lower wing pair: Angeni Wing Style 2
Please alter the "joints" or base-part of the wings (by the shoulder) so they don't look completely out of place... I would like the Angeni wings lowered beneath the upper Kalona wing pair, but at the base I am open to a reversal of the wing layering if it makes the unique sets seem more natural.
Other Notes:- Angeni leg feathering
- Kalona snarl (shown with
Kalona Wing Style 3) on Warhorse eyes/face. (<~ Maybe? If this looks horrible then scratch it...)
- Kalona Deviltail 2
~*~ Accessories & Edits ~*~Custom Items: May I please have a version of him both with and without the dreamcatcher, please?
[
Dreamcatcher]:
Worn/aged-looking leather Dreamcatcher hanging (tied in mane) partway down neck.
Threads of Dreamcatcher look like
spiderwebs with drops of dew.
Feathers
grey.

Grey Feathers] For feathers on dreamcatcher. (This is the original reference image used for Lalaith's wings- his eventual Lifemate; the dreamcatcher will be a gift from her to offer solace.)
~*~ Angeni ~*~
Desired Domain: He is a Crossbreed and therefore can't technically have a theme...
Justification for Domain Choice:
Personality (required In general): Tormented by a twisted sense of responsibility for the monstrous form others see when they gaze upon his halfbreed features, Yanisin is a bitterly morose stallion who stubbornly clings to a sense of dignity while attempting to ignore the taunts of others. Openly mocked by many Kalona and politely ignored or scowled upon by the fair Angeni, he has lived with open hatred or cruelty for most of his life. Many breeds simply don't know how to behave around him, and so react with fear or malice towards what is Unknown... some individuals have shown him kindness laced with pity, some have scarred his body, and still others simply ignore what they wish did not exist. His stoic visage hides a wounded soul, a spirit in need of serenity.
Plot ideas (required): His journey to solace will be a long one. His eventual trust in Lalaith will be hard-earned, his first instinct to turn from her ethereal song (
Lalaith Power application) that conjures unfamiliar emotions paired with explicit memories. I have a series of encounters in mind with progressively more accepting (or naive, or foolish) Soquili who will reinforce Lalaith's tender acceptance, and others who will amount to bullies (pulling him down just when he starts to accept that maybe he is worth something after all, inflicting emotional wounds or physical pain that echoes that he has endured before). His story with Lalaith will be a bittersweet one, and although there are story arcs that do not include her... she is his final destination, so to speak. Essentially, i've had quite a few years to think this through, so to me some of this seems like it's already happened... and other encounters are bursting in my mind, waiting to be set free.
I've also done some snooping about, and there are a few more Angeni/Kalona about... I'd love Yanisin to meet another of "his kind". Comparison of personality, belief systems, and life experiences.
