13 years young . Herd Stallion

Desired Rank

His opinions on his desires vary from time to time

Appearance

Caszius bears a lithe body with rippling muscles that help enlongate his strides. Due to the way he takes advantage of his gaits, he makes his legs look a far lot more elegant. Since Caszius is a 15.2hh stallion, he ranges in the averages for a wild horse, but he isn't the tallest either. During his walk gait, he keeps his head collected yet relaxed, revealing a muscled neck that was built by using that position over years. In the trot, Caszius prances in an arab-like stance, flicking his hooves out just comfortably far enough to look like he's gliding. He naturally holds his head at his shoulder's height, rarely picking it up over his withers unless alert.

Given his relaxed stature, Caszius' topline helps lessen the look of high withers and give a healthier appeal. His shoulders and hindquarters are just lithe and stocky enough to propel him from a standard walk to a full on sprint. His hind squats lower to the ground as he plants his back hooves in the ground, using his haunches to launch off in a short time span. Before he joined the herd, to fight off other stallions he'd usually use this maunever to either get out of a nasty situation, or prepare for a rear. If you catch Caszius snaking for dominance, you will see his body stiffen, gaining a choppy, abnormal trot as he slows down and curves off his target from their desire. If his target doesn't respond to his aggression, he haunches will launch him forward and allow him to close the distance and cause a panic.

Although Caszius has flowy, collected gaits, his gallop is quite different. You won't see this lazy boy galloping much, so his gallop is one of the most funny things to encounter. He uses his smaller height to an advantage, sticking close to the ground and bearing a very squaty-but effective-gallop. His coat is an ebony sea without a single marking scattered on his coat. His coat darkens to a more raven color whilst in the winter, yet gains very slight ombre dapples that scatter along his back and ribcage in the summer.

Caszius bears strong, healthy hooves that naturally trim off excess bits of his frog and hoof whenever scraped against hard surfaces with certain amount of power. His eyes are more along the hollow side, darkened by the calluses along the socket of his eyes. The color of them aren't something to gawk over, as it looks like little blueberries replaced his actually iris. Unless looked closely upon, his eyes appear beady. On closer examination, he has a faint shade of a deep-sea blue near the edges of his iris, with flecks of onyx scattered around the pupil.

Voice

Caszius bears somewhat raspy, yet not deep vocals. His voice is definitely masculine, but it doesn't bring others to buckle their knees in fear. Its an aged voice, with plenty of mistrust behind it, yet it manages to be glossed over with a sarcastic- yet somewhat innocent tone.

Personality

Caszius has proven to be a formiddable foe, even when he's underestimated for his lazy appearal. To him, it doesn't matter if he's matching against some freak of nature that towers over him, a fight's a fight, and he knows they'll bleed. Even if its some freaky 7 foot goliath. Thats something that makes Caszius simple in the big picture. He doesn't honor nor worship anyone for their looks, personality or deeds. If you want to strike fear or respect in his eyes, you'll have to give him a good beating for the message to get across his thick skull. This dumb little stallion can be so rebellious, but he's easy to put back in his place through wrestling.

Caszius can be logical when it comes to his self-worth. This is the main reason Caszius doesn't hop herds- because he knows that what he's got is something thats not easy to obtain and he's afraid he'll get a far worse gamble if he were to take the chances of becoming a bachelor. He's grateful of the relationships he's made with the herd that he currently resides in, but there's always that itching little thought that comes crawling back no matter how much he tries to push it away. Caszius can be described as either an ass, or a logical being. Its not often that he puts others emotions into hand before speaking abruptly, as he says whats on his mind with a silver tongue.

If you've managed to outride Caszius' annoying, sarcastic moods- which is farily hard-, you'll find a loyal friend. He'll stick up for his friends and most of the time go a bit over the top to get his point across. He's ready to lay down a hefty amount of his life for his herd... but if it came to life or death? Call him a coward, but Caszius wants his skin. He's a brave, audacious soul, but he wont run headfirst into a situation that'll get him killed. Thats something for the lead stallion to get themself into. The idea of ruling a herd is amusing to this boy, but he often shakes it off because he believes the road to get there is just.. too much work.

There are few that Caszius would keep at his side, but that doesn't mean the little black butterfly isn't sociable. He's managed to make his way around every last herd member, letting everyone know just how much of a little cockroach he can be. It doesn't matter how mild the tea can be, he'll spill it all. If you want to pick a fight with him, Caszius will likely submit before anything physical has started, as pride is something he often lacks. On the other hand, if you pick a fight with his friends, you'll get a sassy and venomous Caszius, just waiting for his chance to lash out at you.

Caszius tries to act nonchalant, but if he feels overprotective or jealous, he'll slither his little cockroach ass right on over to deal with the situation. Dont try to pry into his relationships he will pry into your skin and get right under it. He makes his point brief and pretty unreadable, which often makes blunt personalities get ticked off. His sarcasm and facetious personality can either crack a smile or make someone want to crack his head open; there's often no inbetween. Despite all this, Caszius is among the lazy beings. If a situation calls for him to work, he'll try his best to slip right out of it. If someone wants to play, he'll do the laziest attempt at such.

If Caszius holds a grudge against you, he holds it for life. Will you know if you did something wrong to this little fireball? Perhaps. Perhaps not. He keeps his nasty little glares out of the perception of his target, and often gets a tad upset at even the slightest moves they make. He cant help but be a bit bitchy, as thats what gives him a little spark of enjoyment. He wont go out of his way to annoy someone, but he'll very casually annoy those who converse with him with his sarcastic tendencies and pessimistic humor.

Caszius has an aura of mistrust gravitating around him. He joined the herd as a yearling, having had about 4 years of plenty of experience. More than what he needed. It easy to tell that Caszius has been twisted, and hated before, as he tries to correct himself after making mistakes, in such a fashion that it seems to have been practiced over the course of years. Its hard for him to talk about his own emotions, as he feels as though he's more of a burden than an actual help to others. He doesn't try to revert back to his ways of doing anything to survive, but it can definitely peer through his words and actions. This is the main reason why Caszius has become so 'lazy' when it comes to tasks. He fears failure and rejection, so he will either cling to something or push it away.

This stallion is very confusing with his emotions, as they often go unchecked. If he likes someone, he'll try to push them away as to not get rejected or hurt- but he doesn't want anyone else making advances, so he tries to get close once more. He doesn't want someone knowing that he actually has feelings- god forbid- so he's often a bit more on the rude side when talking to someone he genuinely cares for. He can be a brash soul, but he'll catch himself if he's being too egotistical and obnoxious, often shutting himself up if someone by some miracle didn't beat him to it. Love isn't something that Caszius manages to fall head of heels with in just a day. In fact, it takes quite a while. Perhaps too long. To form a bond with this stallion, you've got to stick with him through thick and thin, and have been there when he's needed you the most. It doesn't matter if you're a little stubby shetland, he'll see past your faults for the being that has really stuck next to him.

Affiliations

. Sunna .

Caszius had joined the herd when Sunna was a mere filly, he had watched the mare grow into the compassionate leader she was, leading the herd with a wise hoof and a lifely heart. He always felt a sense of pride whenever she'd stand and fight another day, no matter the situation. Caszius always thought of her as the same filly he saw so many years ago, frolicking around with the other foals while Caszius struggled to get along with the yearlings. Naturally, it was heartbreaking to watch her slowly wilt away, consumed by the drought.

Herd: Valley Herd
Rank: Herd Mare

Desired Rank: She is content with her current role.

Appearance:

[credit goes to xxMysteryStockxx on da]

Cadhla is a mare that stands at a height of 15 hands. Her coat is a pure white, upon it, spots of brown lay scattered around; there are only two colours upon her pelt, the white and rusty brown. The brown spotting begins on her face and is heavily layered, almost like freckles. It continues down her entire body, though the spots become more disperse once passing her head. How many does she have? Well, Cadhla has never had the time to count. From what she's seen, it looks like she has 7 million.

Her front hooves are dark brown, her hind legs a lighter version. Additionally, that same rusty brown is seen upon her knees on all four of her legs. A soft pink rests around her nose, and her mane and tail are a more golden, blond colour. Her physique is lithe, yet muscle also spans around her body, especially her legs and chest. She has an elegant appearance to her, as if she should be standing in a field of flowers in the moonlight with butterflies fluttering around her.

Personality:

Wise - Stern/Stoic - Respectful - Cunning - Observant - Selfless - Headstrong - Bold - Picky

Cadhla is both wise and intelligent, and also equally stern and fiesty. She is a mare whose respect must be earned, and it most certainly cannot be one-sided. If one doesn't respect her, she won't respect them. That's simply how it goes, and when that happens, do not expect her to be kind. She will be professional when problems arise, but the moment they're over, she will act colder. She is crafty, cunning, and smart, always one step ahead of her opponent. How, you ask? Simple, Cadhla is good at observing others and converting it into an advantage. One would be surprised at how much you can learn by simply watching.

She possesses a motherly vibe to her in certain manners, though not the softspoken type. For instance, she is good at advice and selfless, always putting others before her. However, she is also headstrong, telling it like it is and will ridicule another in a harsh manner if somebody has done something wrong. She doesn't sugarcoat things and tends to come out and say whatever she is thinking, even if her words are brutal. Often, she acts as if she has a serious reputation to uphold. She speaks up, caring not who listens in. In manners such as those, she can be considered stern and stubborn and perhaps even opinionated.

Regardless, she is approachable and welcoming, always allowing another to saunter up to her and bask in her presence, whether it be in silence or not. One mustn't even ask to tag along on a walk with her. Simply hop right in. In ways such as those, Cadhla is seen as kind in a sense. She doesn't mind who her company is, so long as no disrespect is shown. Do not underestimate her kindness, however, for she can have a snippet of attitude in certain situations and can come off as sarcastic and, well, a bitch.

She is also very picky when it comes to her friends as well. Cadhla enjoys the company of many, but only a certain few does she have a softer spot towards. To earn her friendship, respect is a large portion when it comes to who she tolerates or not. If you don't have that, then you don't have her attention.
