Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Abigail
Parents: Aura and Algernon (both deceased)
Other family: Amelia and Safir (aunt and uncle- deceased) and Pavitra (cousin)
History: They were innocent and young, in the most fertile spring any of the adults could remember. The foaling grounds were filled with the laughter of the young, and Abigail had no shortage of friends. She couldn't even count the number of foals there were with her, though that had more to do with how young she was than anything else. Her particular age group had been out of their baskets for a while and were just on the cusp of being welcomed into the herd proper. She was looking forward to the journey to the main herd grounds and all of the older foals and new friends she would meet.

The foals had already begun a proper education, of course, in the ways of the herd. The adults in the foal grounds were insistent they learn early and learn well the values of the herd. Abigail didn't pay much attention, of course, being far more interested in the buzzing bees and budding flowers around her. Life was far too good to listen to boring lessons.

The day arrived when the older foal group was to be transferred to the main herdlands. Everyone was abuzz with excitement and the foals were nearly impossible to control as they gathered and were briefed on what to expect along the way. Suddenly, a new adult arrived, stranger to Abigail. He had an expression in his eyes that Abi had never seen in the sweet serenity of the foaling area. There was a red substance running down his neck from deep gashes. Abigail had cut her leg once on a sharp stone, and she was dimly aware that the substance on the adult's neck was blood. He said something to the mare he'd approached and then collapsed. The adults were suddenly herding the foals in the opposite direction, the energy changed but equally charged as it had been. Abi didn't understand, but she was told to hide and she obeyed.

She watched, helpless, as the other foals were ushered to hiding places and covered with mud or hidden in strongly-smelling plants, or in small coves under the waterfall nearby. It made no sense to Abigail, but there was no time to ponder it, as the monsters emerged from the shadows. The creatures sneered down at the fallen stallion who had come to warn them. He hadn't moved since his collapse, his eyes stared upward but saw nothing.

There was a flurry of movement as the adults faced off against the beasts. There were so many of them, the clawed creatures who ripped and tore through the unicorns as if they were nothing. It seemed to go on forever, yet at the same time Abigail blinked and there were no more unicorns standing before the creatures. The skinwalkers, which they must certainly have been, began sniffing around, looking for something. Abigail's heartbeat quickened madly as they found one of her friends and dragged her out screaming and made short work of her. They kept rummaging around, here and there plling a foal out and murdering it. Abigail was terrified to breathe or move or even think and waited for the end.

It didn't come. The monsters, the battle abated, seemed unable to stop their murderous rage. No common enemies presenting themselves, they turned on each other. They all eventually left, either felled by a comrade, or run off into the woods to lick their wounds, all in different directions.

The small foal refused to move. The others scattered about in their hiding places seemed of a like mind, and several days passed before the first foal began to stir and move from his hiding spot. Abigail knew him at once - the foal Apocalypse. She wiggled out of her hiding place and approached him. The others came out as well, and together they made the journey to the herd proper.

They'd been told the way many times to make sure no one got lost when they were transferred. There was a numbness to Abigail as she mentally marked off the landmarks they had been told about. It seemed a lifetime ago that she'd been excited to see them. None of the foals spoke, though a couple cried quietly. They made it to the main herd lands, but here the scene was gruesome. There was nothing left alive, no one seeking them out. They were truly alone.

No, not alone Abigail thought as she looked about at her remaining friends. There were six of them, and she would keep them all alive if it killed her.

As the group grew Abi became a true leader to them. She helped find them food and cradled those that needed comfort when their pain was far too much. They were wary, unsure of the safety of the world. After all, those monsters had scattered to the winds and could be anywhere. They traveled far away, walking until their legs ached and they could move no farther. They grew to adulthood together and finally found the courage to stop running from the past and to settle in the land of Kawani. Tentatively they began to rebuild, facing the fear of laying down roots in defiance of the past. She and Apocalypse had become close during their flight and their constant wanderings, but as they all began to settle something more developed between them. Love blossomed despite all the pain they had endured, and the two became mates. They swore together they would protect their budding herd, no matter the cost.


Personality: True to her "Mother" nickname, Abigail has a fondness for foals and the downtrodden. Anyone in need of guidance and motherly love and compassion. This does not at all make her weak. She is wise beyond her years, forced to grow up before her time. She knows when someone needs to be coddled and when they need a swift kick in the a**. She's as versed in tough love as she is in sweetness. She seems to know when to fight and when to back down, and when to command others to do the same. She keeps her brutish mate in check for his own safety, making sure he doesn't go into too wild a rage and lose his head. She is fiercely protective of her eclectic and extended family, like any mother. Threaten anyone in her herd and she will fight tooth, hoof, and horn to protect them. With the appearance of others from their original herd she has become even more determined to recreate it. She has stepped up as the Alpha the group needs, with Apocalypse firmly beside her. She has a reasonable hatred of skinwalkers of either type, and evil in any form. She also has a special hatred of kalona, due to her fighting against the Great Herd when it swept across the land. She is particularly not fond of Wretch, having personally fought against her and lost.

Abigail's Mate.
Name: Apocalypse
History: At a young age, his unicorn herd had been nearly wiped out by a group of skinwalkers. He and a few others foals that had been told to hide and when the massacre ended, they banded together to form a new herd.

Led by Apocalypse and Abigail, these foals found a new home with many other soquili. As he grew, he never stopped watching over others.

Personality: Apocalypse hates skinwalkers above all. He's conditioned himself for war, wanting nothing more than to seek vengeance for what had been done. He is a fighter, but he is also proud and wise. He's a fatherly figure.

Roleplays related to the herd:

Name: Pavitra
Birth Name: Alaric (he has forgotten this name)
Parents: Amelia and Safir (presumed deceased)
Other Family: Two siblings (presumed deceased), Abigail (Cousin), Avalon?

Personality: Pavitra's personality is sort of a fragment of his true self at the current. Because of memory loss, he is somewhat of a happier, less burdened stallion. He doesn't remember those he's lost in his life, and isn't too troubled that he can't to be honest. He doesn't know his name, and simply tells people so. Before his accident with a skin walker, Pavitra was plagued by depression and a heavy heart for his difficult life, broken by his fragile soul. Now he is a fun loving, somewhat curious stallion that is very friendly to strangers and the like. He especially loves foals. He is only in a sour mood when he feels a tug of a memory applying pressure in the back of his mind. Every time he attempts to pull it to the surface, it slips through his fingers like water. Thankfully, those are far and few between.

How does this soquili fit into the herd? History/background: Pavitra I would like to have made a foal that escaped during the slaughter, as this fits exactly with his history I have rp'd until now. He assumes his parents were dead, and he wandered into a blizzard alone, nearly freezing to death. A mare found him and took him in, calling him by the Pavitra because he couldn't remember his own. After relocating him to a warmer climate, she left him to fend for himself. He doesn't remember her name, and she is more or less an OC at this time... except he doesn't remember any of that either. Right now he doesn't even know his own name. He was attacked by a skinwalker, and nearly died. He was found by a miniature stallion that more or less saved him from drowning in the mud. At this time he doesn't know he has a lifemate, Anansi, he has children, let alone his name given name is Pavitra.

Relatives, if any? It would be nice to plot that he is related to the herd in some form, but the other would need to remember him, maybe distinctly by his wings? It would also be so cool for him to know his birth name. He wouldn't change it, of course, but he would be interested to learn about himself and his parents. His son Damir might join him on day, depending on his plotting.

He is a cousin to Abigail, the result of her aunt's falling for a wind or alicorn (discussing) and birthing foals that were not pure unicorns. This caused a great scandal in the herd at the time.

Permission for relations: Granted by Fatal Irony

Plots: At the current, Pavitra has amnesia. He doesn't recall who he is, and even if his son were to find him, Damir is a mute so it wouldn't really help Pavitra's memory loss, unfortunately. He wouldn't even be able to communicate that he's his son without the help of his familiar there to assist. At that point in time, if Damir were to search out his father, it would be because he has become a father himself (a single one at that) and needs help.

As for other plots, I think it would be so freakin' sweet to be able to unfold Pavitra's true history: his name, his parents, his other relations, etc. If anyone is interested in plotting with him, please don't hesitate to message me. c:

Anything else? Pavitra won a wishing star even not too long ago, and I was blessed with his hotty: Avalon. I don't know how she is going to work into Pavitra's plots but I would love help finding out and maybe she can even find her way to him through the herd.












Name: Kaeya
Personality: Happy despite everything and full of life. She's flirty and glib.
History/background: Misplaced as a basket because neither of her parents were particularly attentive. Picked up by Abigail and raised as her and Apocalypse's daughter, though she figured out that she was adopted easily enough.
Why they would join the herd: Kea would probably just want a place to belong.
What could they bring to the herd? New life and youth and a youngster for the herd to mold.
Plots: I acquired Kae as a basket and have not plotted her much. It's very possible that she could be found as a basket and raised in the herd. As she in very unlikely to get along with any of her real family. I wouldn't mind back plotted RP as the herd raises her and figures out that they somehow managed to find a white half-uni (she is in actuality probably 5/8 uni but they won't know that).
Anything else? o3o Yes Kae is a Gen 8. I can pull up lineage if you want to see. It's kind of amazing. Oh and the Mist Demon is her friend and likely her secret and cannot be seen unless she wants you to see it.





Keaya Direct Linage - Gen 8

Parents: Kye (Gen 7) X Alonzo (Gen 1)
Grandparents: Ashanti (Gen 1) X Loukas (Gen 6)

Lifemate to Kaeya. Place in herd yet to be determined

Name: Ornias

Personality: Sly, narcissistic, and with more than a few immoral habits, Ornias will not be winning the 'Mr. America' Soquili award anytime soon. Life (and death, for that matter) is just a game to him, and he knows all the tricks of the trade to come out on top. He has a fondness for blood, though seems to simply enjoy the scent and sight instead of the actual taste. After all, hunting is just another game... and with his spirit companion, Verin, it's just too much fun to resist. He holds a fascination for the spirit world and death thanks to his mother, but Ornias has taken after his father as a role-model.

Family: Parents: Naviah and Caine.
Siblings: Lachesis, Wendigo


















Name: Heliotrope
Personality: A very shy and quiet mare who deep down is an utter sweetheart. She tries very hard to not jump at her own shadow or hide when meeting new people, but her anxiety will get the better of her most of the time. She gets anxious easily, her mind instantly thinking the worst of a situation before anything has even happened. It's a trait she tries to overcome, but with every new situation she is faced with, the more her mind torments her and she ends up hiding behind the closest object too her. This is typically her mother or older sister and brother - if they are around. But if no one in her family is present, she'll find a tree. Or a bush. Or anything she can try to squeeze behind to hide her form. Usually she just winds up hiding behind her wings. When she can be coaxed into talking, her voice is soft and often times you have to make her repeat herself just to hear what she said. Which makes her lack confidence in herself.

As she grew, she became a bit of a klutz due to her wingspan being a little large. She is able to sustain flight much longer than her parents and siblings due to her larger wings. They tend to make her even shier at times, afraid that she might knock into someone (which she's done before). But once she manages to get enough confidence to take flight, a much more relaxed mare can be seen! She loves flying, like her mother and father, and will be found often times soaring through the air with her familiar, Monsoon.

Since meeting Andomeidis, Helio has been working extra hard to overcome her anxiety over anything. She's still got a ways to go, but he gives her strength and hope that one day, she will be less timid!
History/background: She is born to a very loving and growing family. They have taught her not to be prejudiced or judgmental and she's grown into an exceptional sweet mare. Except she's very aware of her appearance and larger wings, which has made her timid. But she's been trying to get over this! And it happened, that one day, while she was out in the woods, she met a particular stallion. For some reason, she found him frustrating and sought him out again (after hiding a bit under her wings). To give him a piece of her mind. And somewhere along the line, Andromeidis decided she was 'his' and Helio has thus found herself learning where she fits in among the herd.
Why they would join the herd: Lifemate to Andromeidis! Helio wasn't part of a herd before and did not mind joining to be with Andro.
What could they bring to the herd? She is exceptionally sweet but very timid. However she is not quite so anxious and afraid when she's around foals. She would adore being a Caregiver to them and perhaps those that are injured and recovering after healing! It's hard, even for her, to be afraid of little ones and someone clearly in pain.
Plots: The herd would give Helio exposure to many individuals who may or may not like/trust her due to her appearance. Being exposed to it after a while might help her begin to overcome her anxiety about what she looks like or her klutzy nature. And perhaps having Helio around, some might learn to give those unfortunate enough to look like a kalona a chance!

Name: Tyrin
Parents: -Coming Soon -
Other Family: -Coming Soon -

Personality: He does everything with an intensity to the point of fervor, and either he feels tremendous elation or he is in the depths of despair. Others often disappoint him because he is idealistic and is apt to place those whom he admires on a pedestal. Then he becomes disillusioned when they fall short of his expectations. He is quick mentally and likes to see things moving at an accelerated pace. Patience is not one of his virtues; he wants to move when the impulse strikes him. Most things he does, he does well, but as soon as the task, hobby, or job becomes familiar or routine, he is bored and craves a change. Travel and new horizons ever intrigue him, but his hunger for greener fields is insatiable, and so he does not experience contentment and peace of mind. There is such a driving power within him that he cannot find an outlet or if his actions are thwarted in some way, he feels the reaction through extreme tension.The intensity and consequent outbursts leave hurt feelings in their wake, usually involving those closest to him. Any weakness in his health would result from his sensitive and high-strung nature in stomach disorders such as nervous indigestion or ulcers.

He likes to control everyone within his influence, to shape things to his own liking. If positive, he develops high spirituality, as he has a God's protection. He is sensitive, affectionate, imaginative and cooperative, spiritually aware and prone to self-sacrifice. He can keep secrets and is a good diplomat. He may have healing and psychic powers.He is inventive, intuitive and extremely methodical. Since his will is so strong, he is hard to convince. He also dislikes advice. He loves beauty and philosophy, and he desires achievement. He has a strong need for freedom - physical, mental and spiritual.

He is seeking freedom, opportunities to enjoy life: to make love, to go places and to do things. He is very adventurous and willing to take risks to achieve his objectives. New ways and new experiences can't satisfy his restless nature. One adventure leads him to another. He is honest and fair, because he knows that this is the only way to receive justice and honesty from others. But his personal growth is vital for his happiness, and it is difficult to be tied down by rules and obligations. His restless spirit might best be controlled by choosing the field of work that meets his demand for action and adventure.

Tyrin's life has two sides; The public face, highly fertile, and another that is more discreet, even secret. In all cases, Tyrin is very efficient and reflective, highly emotive and active. He is an impassioned person, tenacious and determined but quite capable of mastering his explosive emotional nature through exercising patience. He has immense self-confidence that comes close to self-pride at times. Tyrin wants everything which at times incurs the risk of trying to do too much, and he wants to know everything with his dynamic curiosity that borders on indiscretion. Despite everything, Tyrin is an introvert as he only shows part of himself, his public image. What he truly thinks and the reasons for his actions are almost always hidden within himself. Tyrin is pragmatic according to the circumstances and the subjects in play. His morality should be practical and efficient, even if sometimes one may doubt his sincerity and values; at those times it is for him to come to terms with his conscience. His inborn flair placed at the service of his success, and his domination, is far more instrumental than his intuition in making Tyrin undeniably seductive.

His emotivity is one of the explosive ingredients, together with activity, that characterise Tyrin. He appears to have a weak reactivity but in fact it is voluntarily hidden so he can carry out his deeds secretly.

Close to tyrannical, Tyrin's will is extremely strong. He pursues his goals with vigour and even ferocity if necessary. Tyrin literally needs action for the sake of action. In a way this acts to reassure him but is also a real addiction. A great vitality, an exemplary health and a resistance to any challenge characterise Tyrin. His sociability relates particularly to a utility. Tyrin enjoys receiving people, particularly if this can be useful for his career or a project he is fixed upon. True friendship for him is as difficult to give as it is to receive. Tyrin is capable of anything to achieve his ends, whatever the time it may take or the means necessary. He is tenacious and insistent.

At first glance one might think that his intelligence is simply practical and ordered but this would be an underestimation. Tyrin is discreetly capable of formidable reactions. It isn't always easy to pin Tyrin down, to know if he loves or not, as his attitude is above all guided by a search for efficiency. However, he experiences great difficulties when he has to share his feelings. His sentimentality often stems from tyrannical desires that he tries to satisfy by any means necessary. His sensuality is based on a particular idea that is highly personal. Tyrin is often jealous and possessive, however he is very loyal.

Although Tyrin enjoys luck and success, this can be provoking and he should not forget that setbacks exist.

How does this soquili fit into the herd? History/background: -Coming Soon -

Why they would join the herd: Tyrin strives for excellence in everything he does, and how else would he gauge his success without other around him to gauge his progress from? He particularly enjoys that this is a herd of unicorns, and that he could still travel and keep thing fresh as time goes by.

What could they bring to the herd? He likes to think of himself as an excellent healer, and strives to get better every day. He's very personable and happy to act as an ambassador as well as a travelling healer.

Position Desired: Seraphim / Travelling healer

Plots: -Coming Soon -

Anything else? I'm still working him out, but I see him as someone who can recruit as well as heal, bringing in new members to the herd.

Name: Tota'keke
Personality: He is a gentle stallion who lost his former mate in a terrible tragedy. Since then, he has wandered the Soquili lands helping those who needed aid, but keeping his head closed. There are times he stresses out over silly things but for the most part he is calm, kind, and generally a lonely kind of character.
History/background: I'll be honest--he's actually based on an SoA of mine. I got permission from the colorist to have him made here in Soquili. Tota'keke is a strong-willed healer. Though he doesn't enjoy fighting, he has had his fair share of battles. However, he would rather heal others over fighting; he has a doctor mentality: he'll heal anyone who needs healing; anyone, that is, except Skinwalkers. He's heard many a horror story of Skinwalkers and if he sees one (should he recognize it), he'll back off or run away rather than fight.
Why they would join the herd: ICly he happened upon the herd and felt a sense of belonging. He has been alone for a long, long time and would enjoy the company of other unicorns; that, and he would feel that he has a purpose and is useful to the herd in some way.
What could they bring to the herd? Tota'keke would be best as a healer. He is more or less trained in the greatest of healing magics, but isn't officially trained--kind of like those people who aren't certified doctors but know all those herbs and natural medicines that can cure illnesses or poisons. Because he is a well-traveled unicorn, he has a vast knowledge of the Soquili lands, so he would be able to teach the unicorns about other types of Soquili should they run across any; well, except for that of Skinwalkers, as he has never met one.
Plots: I don't have anything yet, but I figured in perhaps a meta-plot he could be one of the many healers aiding the warriors in the herd.
Anything else? Nope!















Name: Libra
Personality: As a trained healer beyond just the powers of their horns, and a solemn, reserved mare in general, Libra (or Libby as her sister frequently calls her) prefers to stay in the heart of the herd, and gets nervous when left alone.

History/background: Libra and her Twin Sister were just entering the cusp of adulthood, having been trained from birth by their mother to take after her as healers of mind, body, and spirit, when the herd came under attack.

The Twins had been separated as part of her mothers final ceremonial trial to accept them in as full fledged healers. Libra, as the eldest, was taken into the isolated area first, swearing oaths of purity of blood (so their line's horns would never falter in their potent healing powers, she may never be lifemated to a stallion of anything less than pure blood: if a stallion of such quality should for whatever reason not be found, she may dally with stallions with healing horns but never love long.), of loyalty to the herd (to stay with it and protect those within), and the Hippocratic Oath to do no harm. She was then left in her secluded, hidden grotto to meditate over night by her mother, who left to go give her sister her oaths, with the words of a mothers pride and that she would collect her in the morning as a fully fledged Healer.

The sounds she heard that night in the darkness left her scarred, afraid to leave her hidden grotto, hopeful that this was in some form part of the test.

The next morning, it was her Sister who came to her -- mother had never come, and instead their father had found her exploring the area near where her mother had left her to wait her turn, before they came and found Libra. Confused and upset as to why her mother never came, still thinking, hoping that this was some part of the test, Libra ran to the herds territory, and had to be dragged away in frantic tears and sobs from the bloodshed, her sister once more told to stay behind.

As their father took them to search for survivors who ventured off, leaving the bloodied ground, Libra was closed off and fearful of others, untrusting and at times angrily lashing out, sticking as close to possible to her father and frustrated by her twins constantly venturing off to make new friends.

When the survivors of the herd were rediscovered, she quickly latched herself in the heart of it -- she never wanted to be left alone ever again, as if her being alone somehow killed all those people, including her mother, as if she had convinced herself to leave and go in, she could have changed what happened some how.

Why they would join the herd: Was originally part of it


What could they bring to the herd? Trained in physical therapy, medicine creation, as well as coming from a long line of those with a gift for healing with unicorn magic, trained from a young age to do so.

Plots:
• She'd likely take up the role as a teacher of medicine and healing, helping others advance their own abilities and increase the amount of healers available.
• She's terrified of being left alone, since the last time she was so many people got killed, so there would likely be plots based around that
• She's sworn an oath of keeping the line pure as possible, and since it was one of the last things she promised her mother, its something she plans on keeping -- Meaning she'll only ever breed with Pure unicorns or, if push comes to shove, half unicorn with the horn or an alicorn, though she'd only do so for a damn good reason that'd help the herd in some way OTHER than just "more babies"). However she's also sort of a**l about it: She wont lifemate a stallion who doesnt know his pedigree to at least three generations back (his Great Grandparents) as pureblooded unicorns, and if anything out of the ordinary came out of it she might break it off (or insist it becomes an open relationship as to keep her from breaking her oath completely while keeping her relationship)
• Will actually try to convince at least a few of the original members to make the same oath of purity (or at least a similar one) : while she has no hate towards those who aren't, she didn't see many pure blooded unicorns in her travels and worries that, perhaps, pureblooded unicorns were dying out.. (*Note: Orion has mentioned swearing this oath himself in an rp already since timeline wise he is younger than the twins.)









Name: Cassiopeia (Cass or Cassy for short)
Personality: Cass, unlike her more homebody sister, prefers the life of a wandering healer, and frequently ventures from the herd. Friendly and charismatic, her favorite thing to do is make more friends and be in the thick of the conversation.

History/background: Like her sister, Cass was raised from her basket into the role of a healer. Unlike her sister though, she was always a bit of a wiggle worm -- she enjoyed her training, but she frequently got distracted by the world around her, never being as serious or driven as her sister. However, she was excited to finally be near this final stretch, and didn't sleep at all the night before out of her excitement -- soon the two of them were going to be part of their mothers order. Sure they'd still be getting training and would start off continuing to work along side her, but they'd be able to take on more cases themselves

She had been taken outside the herd along with her sister so she would not see where the other was to be taken (not that she didn't already find the 'sanctuaries' that had been created for her mother to hold this part of the ceremony in her wanderings through the herd). Her sister, being the older of the two, followed her mother back into the territory and vanished into the forest. It did not take long for Cass to be bored of standing in a location without any sort of goal -- at least with her meditation there were mantras she was supposed to go over, her knowledge to repeat to herself.

This was when she noticed a scent in the shifting wind, and ventured off, careful to keep within earshot of where she was left, to find its source, finding a nice growth of honeysuckle -- a plant not only sweet to smell and taste, but it was a valuable gargle for sore throats, and a paste made from it was good for rashes and inflammation. Collecting some of the strong smelling flowers would be good for the medical stores.

Just as it was good for masking her scent from the hunter that came for them that night..

The mare, her sleepless excitement the night before finally catching up to her, dozed off in the honeysuckle, only to wake in the morning to the sound of her father calling for her and her sister. Clueless to what had happened, Cassy lead their father to the little hidden away shelters, finding the one Libby was in.

It wasn't until later that day she found out what actually happened.

Cassy tried to help with her sisters hurt, and draw her out of her shell and trauma, but as Libby collapsed into a state of needing to be around familiar people and things, Cassiopeia threw herself into new experiences to help her through her own pain. This lead her to making friends (Some of which that normally wouldn't be smiled upon by the rest of their old herd.)


Why they would join the herd: Originally part of it.


What could they bring to the herd? Like her sister, she got all the training as a healer. Unlike her sister, she didn't get traumatized or swore any oaths -- the experience was more a sad period that still admitedly hurts, but didn't leave any permanent traumas to her other than getting it in her mind that Wandering is a good thing since it kept her alive and unharmed.

And thus, she's good at making alliances and finding new members for their herd, and most likely to come back bearing gifts for all of her friends (Which is most of the herd)


Plots:
• Her habit of wandering and being open minded about making friends can lead to trouble.. Or lead to her being a good bringer of allies.
• While her sister is sort of super super careful about her pairings and prefers to be lifemated or well planned and methodically decided flings, Cassy's way of coping is to throw herself into things passionately, and tends to prefer open relationships and friends with benefits. And with no oath, it means she may


Anything else? I may someday get their dad He's currently out trying to 'find' himself after losing his mate since he never really fully recovered from it. He was only a second gen member of the original herd as well, so felt out of place at times growing up back then since he wasn't so pure white, but the newer herd would feel far more welcoming.






Name: Fracas Mephitic
Personality: Fracas is a very zen stallion, cool and collected at all times. He is peaceful and very much a pacifist, abhorring violence. He's happy to heal others and mend their wounds, but he is against using his horn to hurt someone, no matter the wrongs that have been committed against him.
History/background: Currently under development! Fracas is a very blank slate at the moment.
Why they would join the herd: Fracas would want to join the herd to find a place to belong. He doesn't really interact with his father so he's looking for a family of some sort because he's lacking that support group.
What could they bring to the herd? His healing abilities and his zen temper. The fact that he's so cool and collected he could bring a fresh perspective to discussions, especially when things get heated.
Plots: I'd like some sort of backplot as to when he joined and all that jazz, but I'm open to whatever.
Position Desired: Seraphim
Anything else? Nooope~

- Child of Fracas and Misae

Name: Lona

Personality: Empathetic to a tee, Lona is compassionate and understanding. She is quick to lend a shoulder to cry on or a hoof for support to all and every who need one. She is quick to wipe away another's tears and just as quick to provide soothing words of comfort. Lona is gentle and warm, speaking in soft tones and keeps her steps just as soft. She is easy to approach and easy to talk to, more than willing to offer her ears to someone who needs them.

How does this soquili fit into the herd? History/background: Lona is a descendant of one of the original families that made up the herd prior to the altercation with the walkers. Her family was one of the few that escaped but was unable to locate any other survivors and they continued their line, resulting in Lona. Rather than spend the rest of her life, Lona heard that the herd her family had once been a part of was reformed and... changed from how her ancestors had described it. Rather than spend her life in the secluded glade she had been raised in with tried ideals of purity and judgement, Lona decided it was high time to experience the world for what it was, rather than what she had been told to believe.

Relatives, if any? No, Lona is not related to any of the current members and what relatives she does have remain secluded to their herdland in a remote part of the Kawani lands.

Permission for relations: N/A
Plots:
Lona's Joining: I'd love for her to be found by one of the herd's members. Perhaps they cross her path as she journeys to find the Kateri. She wouldn't know their exact location, so I imagine she'd be stopping and resting with welcoming herds and trying to find clues and information as to where they might be.
A Place Among Them: I feel like Lona would prefer to be a Dominion, going out and gathering in different areas so she could explore and see the world in safety. I really would like her to try and explore her options and ask different members about what they do to try and find her niche within the herd.
Tense Family Reunion: I'd have to get Lona's family customed, but once I did I'd have them find the Kateri herd, not to join, but more so to try and get their daughter to return to their herd and leave the "improper" and "insult to their heritage" herd that Lona has joined. It'd be a tense RP with arguments abounding.
Position Desired: Dominion
Anything else? Nooope~







Name: Jayashri
Personality: Jayashri is kind and caring, but secretly biased toward unicorns. She'd never outright say that unicorns are superior or otherwise "better" than other breeds, but she was brought up to think such.
She is well-trained in healing, and will help anyone who needs it, even kalonas and skinwalkers. The extent to which she'll heal these breeds is far less, however, as she wants them to remain at a disadvantage should they get it in their minds to attack. She is a very talkative and curious little thing, and will ask questions until someone is obviously irritated.
History/background: Jay was raised as a princess by her parents. She was taught immense kindness by her mother and fighting by her father. Her healing abilities were learned from both.
Her mother was somewhat similar to her, with a quiet preference for those pure of blood. Her father, however, was far more gruff about the subject, bluntly stating how they were the better race.
When she was old enough and comfortable with her abilities, Jay set off with a mission to save the world (or at least make it a little better). Not long after, the drought, fire, and flood happened. It was a horror show, but she helped everyone she could. She ended up staying with a small family who needed help afterward.
Why they would join the herd: Unicorns, yo. Plus her boy thing's here. ;D
What could they bring to the herd? Jay is, as I said, adept at healing, and not too shabby at fighting, though her little frame can make it difficult sometimes.
Plots: Love, mating, secretly judghing those who settle down with non-pures, helping others. XD
Position Desired: Seraphim/Angel
Anything else? Jfc Fatal just let me in already XD

First Sphere - Civilian: (The Unicorn herd is mostly peaceful, so the spiritual leaders outrank those of the militant side.)

Alpha
She oversees the entire herd. She sits counsel with the Heiress, Thrones, Protector, Second in Command, and Archangels to rule the herd to the best effect, taking the opinions of many into account before making decisions.

Heiress
This is usually the Daughter of the Alpha and Protector or and Adopted Daughter. She sits on all counsels and is personally groomed by the Alpha to step into her place should the need arise.

Spiritual leaders - Thrones
The Thrones are responsible for the spiritual well-being of the herd and performing any rites or rituals that are needed.

Healers - Seraphim
The Seraphim are the healers. At least one remains in the herd at all times for emergencies, but many choose to wander far and wide as travelling healers. The one that remains behind is tasked with teaching those that don't know how to heal, such as foals, so that each member of the herd can be of some use if needed.

Caregivers - Cherubim
The Cherubim are those that help with foaling and rearing the offspring and with any other sort of care extended that is needed.

Gatherers - Dominions
The Dominions go out in casual groups and collect food to bring back to the herd. No one is allowed to go out alone, but they groups are informal and chosen by those heading out to gather that day. This is a very social class, as they get the chance to chat fairly privately away from the herd main home. They are sent a Chief Angel and a small patrol of Angels for protection so they can wander at their leisure.

Regular and honorary herd members - Virtues
The Virtues don't have any specific responsibilities beyond maintaining their own respective households. They can sometimes be pressed into service in other ways as needed, but in general they are free to come and go as they please with no real expectations.


Second Sphere - Military:

Protector
While he serves as the head of the militant side of the herd (and consort to the Alpha) he is in regular meeting and conference with the Alpha, Heiress, and Thrones to help guide the direction of the herd and command it as a unified front. He oversees all the military action and those below him in the Chain of Command, as well as personally Grooms the Second in Command to step into his place, should the need arise.

Second in command
This is sort of a Protector-in-training position and is one more of learning than action. He sits in counsel with the Protector and Archangels as well as with the other side of the herd - the Alpha, Heiress, and Thrones - on a regular basis to learn the ins and outs of the herd and how it's run. This position is often held by a Son of the Alpha and Protector, or an adopted Son.

Day Commander/ Night commander - Archangels
There is one for the Day and one for the Night. They are responsible for all of those down the line - Chief Angels, Angels, Powers, Principalities - and making sure they are all doing their jobs. The Archangels are the day-to-day commanders of defense for the Herd. They report to the Protector Himself, and sit on his Counsel in times of war or distress.

Patrol leaders - Chief Angels
The Chief Angels are assigned members of their patrols by the Day/Night Commander and are responsible for overseeing them and making sure they're doing their jobs correctly. When trouble arises they are the ones to take command in the field, until one (or both) Commanders can be notified and take charge. They are the Archangel's right hand. Good leadership skills needed as well as the ability to make quick decisions that affect groups of soquili.

Patrol Members /Night's watch - Angels
The Patrols and Night's Watch are two sides of the same coin. The Patrols refer to the day and the Night's watch is self explanatory. These Angels walk the perimeter of the herdlands, looking for immediate trouble. They work in teams led by the Chief angels, and answer directly to them. This group requires almost no independent thinking or special skills, simply a working pair of eyes and the ability to stay awake and walk long distances.

Scouts - Powers
Scouts are sent far and wide, bringing back information either themselves or via a swift or singed familiar that aids in the protection of the herd. They are the first line of defense for trouble, and are needed to be swift, silent, and able to think on their feet. They are solo workers and answer directly to the Day/Night Commanders in the chain of command. They are the reconnaissance, and are vitally important to the herd's secrecy and survival.

Warriors - Principalities
Also called Princes and Princesses, these are the Warriors of the herd. They can be fearsome fighters, and can be difficult to control in a group environment. They tend to work alone and answer only to the Day/Night Commanders in the chain of command. They can sometimes be attached to Patrols as added muscle, or sent on specialized missions with Scouts when additional force is needed. In times of peace they tend to spend their time in training, honing their skills eternally. If and when jobs that require their strength or skill is needed they pitch in around the herdlands.




an ox, a lion, and an eagle

I just think maybe it'd make more sense for them to have been out of their baskets when the attack happened, so they know to look for others, as opposed to just having this feeling that they were a part of something bigger?
I dunno. XD
Could've been foals that skittered off or were playing and came back to the carnage and didn't know what to do?

I'm thinking my boy was sort of the "leader" of the brothers. When they merge with the originals I think he'll become a second-in-command to Apocalypse

Copied/pasted from my chat with Uni. XD

Personality ideas?
I see Qiyam as a spiritual being, someone who depends heavily on beliefs and outside beings/spirits. I see him being unable to quite "process" what happened to the original herd, and he uses his prayer and such to sort of disconnect from reality. I mean, coming out of a basket to see nothing but death and carnage can't be very good for one's developing mind.

That is, of course, if they do end up in the vicinity of where they emerge to see the herd?

Pumpkin~ XD I follow your example and copy/paste too!

Personality idea~
I see Genevre being calm, levelheaded, and mostly quiet. He's very strong and possibly a bit bulkery then his brothers. He sees himself as his brother's protector but only goes to violence if absolutely needed. He'll look for peaceful solutions first but will totally do harm if it comes to that.
EDIT:: Would fill this in more if this base is cool~


I'll go ahead and mark parents as deceased on his section in my teepee then! Totally cool with Viracocha being leader too!

And another thing, is their birth order same as drawn order? Saw that in the Sum-e herd for birth order of the Sextuplets XD
