I love the stock, but it couldn't be posted in an unaltered form, so I did a manipulation. It's my first try at one, don't hate on it ;-; I am open to any artists in this RP with constructive criticism, if you are so inclined :)

Also, I just realized that there are a lot of black and white horses already. I can change his appearance to something more creative if necessary <.<

Riker

[ Ry-kuhr ] Danish origin, meaning "strong power"

Age: Eight years

Gender: Male / Stallion

Herd: Currently with The Naxar Herd

Rank: Former Lead Stallion of the Stolen herd

Appearance:

Horse stock (c) to xxtgxxstock on DA - an unrestricted stock account. The rules to stock photo use are linked.

The background image is taken by me to use in this manipulation. The background photo is mine. Credits to pack #199432(Ciao) <3

This stallion is a creature of taller stature, standing right at 16.5 hh. His build is powerful, he is built for strength over speed. Riker's coat is short and sleek, feeling soft to the touch. The color is a black and white paint, as far as the color that takes up the majority of his coat, the two are about the same. For the most part, his largest white markings consist of a marking on his face, a 'white face' it would be called, and then a rather long one on his neck, and flank.

The eyes of this stallion appear to be brown, nothing too special, and are a bit of lighter coloration. His orbs are framed by long white lashes, yes white, and they particularly stand out on his right eye, which has a black patch surrounding it.

Riker's mane is quite short, and takes on a dark hue, with a black appearance. His tail is similar in color, though it grows quite long compared to his mane, and comes down a little bit past his hock. This stallion has many scars from previous battles defending the herd and also has a few wounds from the fight he just had, attempting to keep his herd. I don't have specific ones planned yet.

Selene

[ seh-lee-nee ] Greek origin, meaning "the moon”

Age: Six years

Gender: Female / Mare

Herd: Naxar Herd

Rank: Herd mare

Appearance:

all stock (c) to HorseStockPhotos on DA, 'elleneinkauf.com' is the crediting they wished to have on the images if being used outside of DA.

This mare has more of an average stature, standing at 15.1 hh tall. Her build is a bit weaker, she is built more for speed and has more power in her long legs than anywhere else. Selene’s coat is just slightly longer than most, and is quite an interesting color. This mare is a blue roan paint, the majority being that blue roan. Her main markings are a large white one on her neck, a white blaze, a white sock on her front right hoof, a high sock on her back left hoof and a white stocking on her front left leg.

This mares eyes are nothing special. They are a dark brown color and can almost appear to be black. In the light it helps to see the depth of her eyes, with the intricate dark browns that make up her large orbs. Blue roan is the color around both of her eyes, and black long lashes frame them. Onto her mane, it is of shorter length and interesting coloration. The top of is more of a dark grey, while the bottom half is white. Her tail is long and sweeps the tips of the grass, the color is dark grey, with a light grey base.

Personality:

This mare doesn’t care to be disrespected, she won’t take kindly to the harsh words from a younger horse, especially one she raised. Two years back she had a foal, she was just 4 years old when she had Asteria and as a new mother she didn’t know how to properly parent yet. Now she was a great caring mother for her foals' first vital weeks/months, then she started to unintentionally neglect her. Forgetting to check up on her, spend time with her, or make sure she was staying safe.

It was a temporary lapse in judgement and she was able to bounce back and be an involved mother again, but only for a short amount of time. Selene eventually fell out with her daughter. She had been too busy to take the time to try to properly raise Asteria in her first year of life and the little words they shared would turn into an argument. When they would fight she would lash out with just as much venom in her words while keeping her tone light and volume at a normal level. When she argues with her daughter, sarcasm drips from her words and her eyes turn fiery. She hates her, and at this point in time it’s almost unexplainable why she does.

Now she has a new foal, one she is not going to mess up, a little precious colt who she has been caring for since she birthed him a few months ago. This mare is now a kind, motherly figure, she is quite protective of her young, and is very involved in raising them. *Asteria scoffs* Selene will do all she can to make sure they are raised right and not lead astray. This mother can be a bit strict, but she believes it’s for the good of her foals. She will allow them to play and explore with the other foals, and won’t won’t be too overbearing. Now don’t get me wrong, she is protective of them and would lay down her life to save her foals. But she has the sense to also give them a little independence so that they can develop their own personalities.

Selene is a social mare, and is not one to try and pull information out of you. She is patient and will let you share what you want to share in your own time. She is not pushy and knows if she needs to back off in certain situations. This mare is very opinionated but will keep it to herself unless asked, or if she is in an argument. Which doesn’t happen often, since she has very little temper, though the one horse that riles her up quickly is her own daughter.

Crush: None

Mate: None

Offspring:

Asteria is her daughter - not on best terms with her

--- is her son

Other:

Imagine this horse is *Black and white* I could find other stock ;-;

I think he would be considered a tobiano. I can fix grammar and my images when I’m off mobile <.<

Anubis

Greek Origins, “God of death” [ ah-n-ew-b-ih-s ]

Name: Kano

Age: 4 months

Gender: Male/Colt

Rank: Foal

Desired Rank: Undecided

Appearance:

(c) to LuDa-Stock on DA

(Kano is a bit bigger than in the picture, as he is 4 months, but the rest of his overall appearance is the same)

Kano is a sturdy little dude and is starting to grow more into his long knobby legs, while his growth has been moderate so far, it seems to be picking up as he ages. His coat is a faded black and continues to fade as it travels down his legs, as he ages his coat will look more like his mothers but will become a bit darker than hers. A white blaze starts at the top of his muzzle and goes up to the start of his fluffy black mane, which has started to grow in a bit more recently, his tail is doing the same but is still very much short with small waves. Kano's eyes are a bit of a lighter brown with small flecks of ember inside them and sit an equal distance apart.

Personality:

This colt is quite the observant creature, picking up on some distress the other horses could have, sadness, guilt like characteristics, and even 'cockyness' among some of the yearlings. While he may not be able to detect the exact problem or emotion he can come decently close. Kano is a playful and social foal, often attempting any conversation with those around him or even some of the older yearlings, though he prefers to spend most of his time with his parents or other foals. The triplets have caught this youngster's attention, especially one of them, and he'll try his best to be his interpretation of "flirty" around them, whether his attempts catch their attention or not, and likes to practice snaking them if they'll let him. As of now, their father Hubbe doesn't scare him too much if he decides to 'shot his shot' with his daughters, but who's to say that won't change. Kano even sort of looks up to the lead stallion, just as much as his own father, and while it would be cool to be the lead stallion or a herd stallion with this herd, it would be interesting to see what's beyond the herd.

Whenever he catches a glimpse of one of the bachelors he gets super excited, cause ya know, the bachelors are a super cool band that roams the hills wherever they want and steal mares all the time, according to Kano. That role calls to him as well, so he's quite undecided on what to do once he's older, but that's alright since he still has a while to go. This colt has a slight attitude with his mother, and will 'fight back' until he is slapped with her logic and reasoning and realizes he's wrong. Though when he's not talking back to his mother he is generally affectionate or 'lovey' with her, bumping noses and leaning against her. In his moments of silence, he tends to ask questions to, whether it's relevant to what's going on or if it just popped into his head.

His favorite past time has to be getting to extend his long legs and race across the herd and around his mother, kicking out his back legs and well, horsing around just having a plain ole' good time. When it comes down to it, he's just a normal spirited colt occasionally looking for some trouble and wondering what else is out there besides the herd.

(c) to LuDa-Stock on DA

Name: Vespera

Latin Origin, meaning 'evening star'.

Age: 7.5 years

Gender: Female/Mare

Herd/Harem or None: The Oshiwana Harem

Rank: Herd Mare

Desired Rank: Lead mare would be an enjoyable position

Appearance:

(c) to LuDa-Stock on DA

While appearing to be a dark brown or seal brown color, in good lighting, her true color is black, her coat is healthy, giving it the smooth, almost glossy look. Her mane is colored black and appears to be a bit on the shorter side, it is also thicker and courser than the rest of her coat. Vespera's tail is on the longer side, and is in the same color as her mane, sharing a similar texture as well, though instead of appearing straight, it does have a slight wave to it. Her eyes are a light brown color, between her eyes and ears, right in the middle of her forehead, lies a small white star, her only marking. Vespera stands at about 15 hands, with a slightly muscular build proportionate to her size.

Personality:

This mare is a paciente horse, and could sit through ones ramblings, a foals constant questions, or ones messing up. Vespera has little to no temper, and if she does happen to lose her cool, its only shown in a slight flick of the tail, shake of the head, or snort of displeasure. Though she will speak up if something needs to be changed or dealt with, if it could benifit the harem or if one of her foals are invloved. On that note, once this mare has another foal, she would be quite protective of them, ready to give her life for them. Having lost her first foal to a rough yearling who though sparing with a young colt while the adults turned away would be smart, the poor foal was ingured and later taken by a predator when the lead stallion from her previous harem was off doing who knows what. Since losing her colt, two years ago, Vespera had vowed to change her ways of parenting her young, and while she may seem a bit overprotective or stern with a fututre foal, she believes it will better ensure their survival. But just because she may be stern dosent mean she wouldnt be down to ocationally goof around a bit with a foal.

Vespera considers herself to be on the intelligente side, though not going around proclaiming it or being arrogant about it, and believes she could do a decent job, if given the chance, to help lead a herd or heram at some point in her life, weather it be her current heram, or a future one. Though as of now she is quite content in the harem, and wouldent dream of leaving, she plans to stay here and would be honored to bear one of the lead stallions foals at some point in the future. When conversing with another, Vespera is a great listener, allowing you to rammble as needed, or vent about something, either offering advice if thats what your looking for, or just being there to talk to. Though when it comes to sharing an issue she may have, Vespera often struggles.

Kin: N/A

Crush: We'll see

Mate: In RP

Offspring: Her first colt had gotton injured rough housing with some yearling and soon after was picked off by a predator while the lead stallion from her previous harem was away and unable to protect the herd.

Affiliation: Will edit as RP starts

Other: I think this time around, seven characters will be too many so I will only have this one, though I may add more before it starts, or during the RP. Also, quite random, but I have a sushi craving aha.

(c) to LuDa-Stock on DA

Name: Anex was the name given to her, by her owners, she went by it for a time but now it only reminds her of what she lost. She shortened it to "X" ever since they left.

Age: 5 years

Gender: Female

Breed: Unknown

Appearance:

(c) to on FurLined on DA

Backstory/Personality:

For the first few weeks of her life, X was a stray, her mother and littermates were found and taken to a shelter, and eventually, she was put up for adoption once she came of age. Her owners gave her free roam of the house, and then eventually let her outside to the yeard, and then the world beyond. She would explore from dusk to dawn and return for her meals or when the weather started to turn until the earthquakes started, she stayed her human's house more until they left. Forgotten among the rubble of her old home. Her humans always treated her well, and let her go where she please, so it was a bit harder to say goodbye, she shortened the name they gave her to "X" after they left.

X is a social cat, ocationally frequenting with some ferrals during her time away from her humans, as well as the other house cat her humans owned, who had been lucky enough to be taken with when they left. She had been out and about, unlike the other house cat, who stayed indoors and was almost always in the lap of her humans, when they were evacuated. She returned to find them driving off never to return. Besides that X is a great listener, she could sit and listening to you talk and talk for as long as your willing to go, and is quite understanding. You could come to her for an issue or a problem you may have and she'll either console you or give you her best advice. Other than that, her social interactions dont stand out like some other cats, who may be sassy or come across as rude, rather, X likes to think shes between it, if that makes sense.

This cat is motherly towards the little kittens, she absolutly loves them, even those who arnt her own, and would be very protective of them, eventually she plans to have some if she survives through this tough time. On that subject, she still needs to find a Tom, but she'll do that in her own time once this settles. X is a skillful climber, scaling over rubble, fences, broken glass and more as she looks to find any other cats. She will be a bit desperate to find another cat now that her humans, and all the others are gone. X may be a bit stubborn on what she believes in/her solution, unless a better option/advise is given, but even then she still may be hesitant to follow, and may try to do it her own way.

Strengths and Weaknesses:

-X is quick agile and has some extremely good balance

-She is quite quick and silent on her paws when moving to avoid predators

-Great eyesight

-Does not know her way around the city

-Had almost no clue on how to find food

-Has not found any other feral cats yet for help, but will be open to finding one at the beginning of the RP.

Likes and Dislikes:

-Another cats companionship would be welcomed, she enjoys being around others

-The rain is nice, if you have shelter to safely watch it from

-Sleeping is quite enjoyable

-She dislikes arrogant males, its not attractive.

-X dislikes sudden loud noise, they startly her an awful lot

-She dislikes foxes, they just seem like a sneaky dog-cat cross

Fears:

-She fears for her life, while she has some experience in the city, hunting and finding some shelter, she doesn't have much.

Family: PM me

Friends: PM me

Other: Any other information was previously stated in Eight's form. This cat is a Pet.

Pack Number: 199432

Activity level: I'll be on every afternoon, possibly morning depending on my schedule, and will be able to post a least once a day, maybe more if necessary or if I have time.

Roleplay Example (If none of us have roleplayed together before): We have RP'ed Onyx^^ Though -le click- if you need an example

Name: This cat has gone by many names, a little girl called him "Kitty Kitty" whenever he would dart through her yard, some old 'cat laddies' called him "Bones". There was also a boy who called him "Turnup" as he would always turn up in his backyard after a long day to hide in the front bushes of his house before dark. But of course, they're all gone now.

He currently goes by Eight, after 'losing his eight lives' and only having one left to live.

Age:

Gender: Male

Breed: Bengal

Appearance:

(c) to FurLined on DA

Personality:

Eight considers himself to be above most other males, having experienced a lot in his life and maturing quickly, though he will admit to flirting rather hard with a female or two that has caught his attention. While he was a bit of a flirt when he first came out onto the streets, he's changed since then, taking a different approach to the way he interacts with females, and rather wanting to get serious about a possible family. This creature may like the aspect of a family, he finds it harder to socialize with some cats, he still does interact with them, it just seems to be difficult for him. Especially after living on his own for a long while, though the house cats may start to 'bring him out of his shell' as the roleplay continues.

Eight is quite the protective male, he has claimed a small section of a building for himself and won't stand for intruders. It happens to be the place where he met the little girl who called him "Kitty Kitty" and occasionally left him a scrape to eat, even if they were never close, he holds the place dear, not all humanity was lost in this house. The girl has as much respect for him as he did her, unlike some of the other, less friendly, city folk that he came across while the humans were here. If he ever decided to pick up a female then he would be just as protective or loyal towards her, and only she would be welcome in his little spot.

Eight is not one to take advantage of the possibly scared, confused, and starving house cats, but rather would do his best to help them, though it may seem mocking or sarcastic at times even if he is trying to be genuine. He'll offer what little knowledge he has attained on the streets or guide them through parts of the city if need be. This cat has little to no temper and is quite patient with most cats, the super squirrely ones that are always stuck in a tree rile him up though. While this cat may have his own beliefs or ideas, he is not as vocal about them, unless it comes down to an argument, he keeps it mostly to himself unless he believes it would benefit the group.

Strengths:

-He knows his way around the city, for the most part, after living most of his life there, though there are some parts that even turn him around.

-Has some knowledge of hunting small prey, read more in the weaknesses below.

-Quite a silent and agile creature, with his lightweight and experience evading certain humans, Eight has picked up a few tricks.

Weaknesses:

-The country is a mystery to this cat, he has always lived in the city and never ventured beyond, nor does he intend to.

-He was mainly living off human scrapes or was left some food by some local, old crazy cat ladies, and once what remains of the city runs out, he may be in a bit of trouble. While knowing how to hunt a bit, he is not the best and is a bit spoiled for a stray.

- Eight seems to be livin life on the edge, scaling recklessly over rubble from the earthquake, or climbing up into high abandon buildings.

Likes and Dislikes:

-Eight actually likes water, well, at least in small quantities, in small pools or shallow ponds you can find him batting a lazy paw at the water in a minnow swims by.

-Crunchy leaves are just the best, its a big disappoint when they don't make a noise after you pounce on them

-Scaling tall structures just to see how high he could possible go is quite fun

-Anything with wheels is a major no-no

-Dogs *shudders* heck to the no

-He has a distaste for the young males

Fear:

-Bikes, scooters, rollerblades, skateboards, basically anything with wheels that he could get his tail caught up in by some careless human

Family: Possibly a brother/sister, he has no SO, maybe in the rp?

Friends: N/A

Other: LOTR Rocks, this cat is a stray~

The Brains

Age: 4 years

Gender: Female

Appearance: The breed is a Red Australian Cattle dog, ignore the collar this image is just for the dog's appearance. She stands about 19 inches, as tall as a female heeler can get, and weighs ruffly 34 lbs.

(c) PintabianDreamer1222 to on DA

Personality:

Vespera could be described as cool, calm, and collected, willing to listen to either side of an issue, stay cool under tough circumstances, not losing herself to the madness of the overgrown/undergrown, destroyed, and radioactive environment that they will be heading out to in the very beginning of the journey. This dog is known to have little to no temper, though when stakes are running high in stressful situations she will snap, usually, it's unintentionally at the first person she turns to, unless the dog/human/thing who caused it is identified. Besides that, Ves is generally known to be quite patient with others, understanding, and tolerant of the high energy teammates, though she often looks to them during the bleaker moments of the trip, and sometimes envies their spirit.

While this dog is a bit more independent, occasionally choosing to walk a small ways behind or to the side of the group, she does enjoy holding a conversation with most. When it comes to choosing her independent side over the group, she chooses to stay with the group who are more like family now. After all the training they had gone through, and them being the only dogs she really interacted with after she was taken from her littermates for more intensive training, to get to where she is today. She is quite honest with the group but can be quite bashful to admit her wrongdoings.

You will never catch this female flirting with the other dogs, she has shut off that section of her emotions so she can focus on surviving, and shutting off the device, she may joke about it, but it's not anything serious. Though she has no trouble talking about the subject with other dogs. Being The Brains Vespera feels like she has to continually prove her worth to the group, as most of their job is traveling, surviving, and finding the device, her only part is to shut it down. While that is important she still feels the need to contribute something more to the group and will help wherever needed. More of her personality is explained with her quirks, strengths, weaknesses, and such below.

Quirks:

○ Ves will stare at you, like really stare, sometimes so intently it may seem uncomfortable and doesn't believe that it is a rude or strange thing to do like some might see it as.

○ Pawing the ground, she likes to push the dirt around with her paws if she is nervous, something makes her uncomfortable, or if she is a bit impatient, though she may also mindlessly do it.

○ Married to her work, Vespera has shut off any emotional connections to the other males, keeping their relationships at friendships and focusing on her work as The Brains. Some may think this is an odd choice, while others understand, making this a bit of a quirk.

Strengths + Desires

○ Intelligence, her intelligence is what Ves was chosen for, she specializes in problem-solving which helps with whatever task her handler might ask of her

○ Loyalty, she would never even dream of turning her back on the team, while an argument may come upon them at some point, she would never betray or leave them.

○ Protectiveness, despite her role in the group being The Brains, she is quite protective, as her breed usually is, and has the instinct to keep the group safe, though she leaves most of that work to the designated protector, Kodaline.

○ Independence, Vespera can work independently, and sometimes prefers that to have the pressure of a team on her shoulders, though she wouldn't trade working with the team for working alone at this point in time.

○ Strong Concentration, once this dog gets started on her project, her concentration becomes intense, focusing on the issue/problem at hand unless her team needs her someplace else.

○ Leadership, Vespera considers herself to be a good leader and believes she will be able to make the right calls for the good of the group if called upon. She also believes that if given the chance, she would be able to help find a way to get the group out of a tough situation.

Weaknesses + Fears

○ Failure, Vespera does not believe it is acceptable for someone of her intellect to be doing and is scared she eventually will, and in turn, would let down the group when she is dependent on, especially when it comes to disabling the device.

○ Strong Concentration, while this is also one of her strengths, Ves could get so lost in her task that she drowns out the others around her to focus on it, which could be bad for both her safety and the groups, like if the group needs to flee and she doesn't respond right away. She has a slight fear that this may happen while she is disabling the device.

○ Death, while this may seem common, she fears for the survival of the group while they are traveling to find the device, like if The Speed cant find enough prey and they starve, or if The Wayfinder makes a wrong turn, or if a huge threat occurs that The Protector cant protect them from.

○ Defense, Vespera relies heavily on those around her for protection, while she is not often scared and does not hide in the middle of the group, she has little knowledge on defense, as she was trained for The Brains position.

○ Size, Ves is more of a medium breed, so she doesn't have the same advantages as the smaller dogs, like the ability to get into small spaces or evade big clumsy predators. Nor those of the large dogs, like their sheer muscle and power, or the long strong legs meant for running.

History: Like most of the other dogs on the team, Vespera was bred specifically for this position, after some training with her littermates, she excelled in her learning and earned the job. She has not had a medical reason to be held back as of now.

Name: Thea

Age: 11 years

Gender: Female

Herd/Harem or None: The Mshmabe Herd

Rank: Herd Mare

Desired Rank: Deputy mare

Appearance:

all stock (c) to HorseStockPhotos on DA, as requested, her photography website is posted on the photo. These photos are used for the appearance, the breed is still a mustang though, and Imperial said this was alright^^

This mare has a beautiful healthy coat, feeling smooth to the touch, and looking slightly glossy. Her coat color is palomino, with it ending up on the lighter end of the spectrum, her paint patches throughout are white as well. Thea does not bear the light palomino on her face, but rather, it is all white except a distinctive grey patch on the right side of her muzzle, which is a lighter, almost peachy looking color. She does have another grey patch on her right breast above the forearm. Her mane is of a coarser, thicker feel, and is almost a lighter, off-white color, and of shorter length, while her tail is longer and colored white. This mares eyes are light blue, with flecks of dark blue around the pupil. Thea stands at almost 16 hands tall, she has a small build, giving better definition to some of her features.

Personality:

This mare is a social creature, often in conversation or in the presence of another. Polite could also be used to describe her, rarely interrupting, and attentively listening to the task at hand, she isn't one to butt into a conversation either, or overshare any personal comments about herself, or a negative opinion about another openly. Rather, if she has an issue with someone, she will either bring it to a close friend or not speak about it at all. Thea has her own opinions on certain topics, and if it comes up, she will mention what she thinks of it, but not to the point of it being repetitive, or annoying. While this female talks of her opinions, she knows when it's time to hold her tongue, or if it truly needs to be kept to herself. Now, this mare is not perfect, and something may slip out due to her temper, which is slight as she is not easily pushed over, nor will she flare up quickly, so somewhat in-between. Thea is much aware of this issue and is rather ashamed of it at the moment.

When it comes to foals, she tends to be a bit more relaxed in the raising of them, compared to some of the others, while still rearing them right, and making sure they are well mannered before they either leave the herd or become an official member. Thea tends to give them more grace for little mistakes they may make, and won't hold the little things to the highest standard until they mature more. Yearlings are a bit different, she often holds them to a higher standard, since they are closer to becoming a full member of the herd, and will be a bit pickier with them. Overall she is a protective mama, willing to put her life on the line to save her foal, or a foal of a close friend. This mare believes she can handle herself and her issues and is often reluctant to let a stallion jump in and try to do it for her. While noting being 'the brains' of the herd she is still quite smart and can deal with her own problems.

When it comes to grief, this mare does not process it the best, after the death of the two leads and their offspring, she grew almost silent, perhaps even grieving a little longer than one might, as of now she is nearly fine, but those deaths still are a bit of a touchy subject. Even if this mare misses the old leads, she is just as loyal or supportive of the new one, and would gladly stay in this herd with them, as she considers Aušrinė one of her closer friends.

Kin: N/A
