Rough Plot:
A Herd of Previously Owned mares, ranging in value, age, and breed, roam the hills, taking refuge away from people in the unclaimed lands they now call home. The road after their release was rough, and some have already been lost in the short time since, but the small herd has carved a life out for itself after being released from the confines of their stalls by their previous owner. He knew the odds were low they would all survive, but it gave them a fighting chance when the other option was far worse.
Whispers of a herd of mares, rumored to be unprotected by a stallion, have spread across the lands, drawing the attention of many in search of them. Their bloodlines and value unlike anything seen within the herds has captivated stallions in search of power and prowess. Many believe to capture this band of mares would bring them marvel from other stallions, and would raise them above all others. Bachelors have ventured in search of creating their own herd, while Band Stallions drag their current mares in search of flooding their own ranks with the new stock. Some Herd Stallions have even abandoned their herds in search of the whispered prize.
Not all, though, are happy about this herd's existence. Especially the mares who have been abandoned or forced to journey in search of them, in fact, many of them wish for them to go away so lives can return to normal. They're not afraid to hide how they feel either. New mares, preferred mares, are a threat to their herd hierarchy and so much can change when the favor of a stallion is lost.
Of course, not all have the same mindset as the disgruntled mares or the hungry stallions, some seek this new herd in hopes of providing them a safe life where they are welcome and guided through how to survive as a wild horse.
The rumors though, don't extend to just the horses though. Humans have heard about the existence of this herd, and have begun to search for them in greed. The whispered value of some of the mares enough to draw the attention of many willing to risk coin and life to capture them for their own.
It will be a perilous journey for the mares to remain, but they are determined to, in some way, remain in the wild where the confines of humans can no longer touch them. With the cold chill of the coming winter on the air, it feels like more of a threat than a promise, as the mares will need to not only survive, but protect themselves and their foals from all the threats that come with the promise of winter.

Further Roleplay Information
For this Rp There Will Be:
- The Broodmare Herd
- The Wild Herd
- Bachelor Stallions & Bands
I did not want there to be four different herds, and this way it'll allow better interaction between characters.
The Broodmare Herd
This is the Herd of Mares that have come to exist after being released from their home by their previous Owner. They were released because he had gone into too much debt, and would have had to sell everything, and them, to the highest bidder without any sort of guaruntee they would be treated right. Not wanting them to be sold to slaughter or to horrible homes, he elected to release them, believing it to be the best option to give them a fighting chance. The herd consists of mares of extremely high value, so mares of Racehorse lines, Arabians, etc. There aren't going to be many, if any, regular ranch horses, etc. There are no Stallions in the herd, the closest thing there would be is colts who were released with their mothers or born after the fact.
In this Herd there are: Mares & Foals.
Herd Name: TBD
The Wild Herd
This is the Herd of Wild Horses that have come in search of the Broodmare Herd in hopes of adding them to the Herd's Ranks. The Stallion desires nothing but to have the best herd, the most saughter after herd, and the power that goes with it. His mares aren't as happy about his decision to seek out the Broodmare herd, wary of what will come with it if he finds them. They aren't too thrilled to have been dragged from the safety of their home in hopes of finding some "pretty mares" to give their stallion more power among stallions. This also puts his own mares at risk of being stolen by Bachelors taking advantage of his goals.
In this Herd There are: Stallions, Mares, Yearlings, and Foals
Herd Name: TBD
The Bachelor Bands
These are the Bands of Stallions who have herd of the Broodmare herd and desire to find them in hopes of creating their own herd. It is not yet decided among all of them exactly how that will work out or look, but they have decided that working together to achieve their goals gives them the best opportunity. These bands consist of anywhere from two to five stallions at a time, and are lead by the oldest and most experienced of them. Typically, when finding mares, he's the first to branch off and take them to create his own herd, and the next stallion in line taking his position as leader, and then so on and so forth. With so many unclaimed mares around, and herd mares on the way, though, this may change. They tend to work together to steal mares rather than to challenge directly unless necessary.
In these Bands there are: Stallions
The Bachelor Stallions
These, like the Bachelor Bands, are the stallions without any mares or herds. However, these are the stallions who have chosen to travel alone. Usually they either choose to steal a mare or two when the time arises, or they will challenge a lead stallion directly to takeover. In this case, they aim to arrive to the herd and woo the unclaimed mares into following, and leading them away before any others can.
These are just Stallions.
The Lone Mares
These are similar, in a sense, to the Bachelor Stallions. They are mares without stallions or any type of herd. They may be with a foal or pregnant, but they are otherwise alone. These Lone Mares in particular [for the purpose of this rp] are looking for a herd for one reason or another. These reasons can include safety and support, power, etc. it's entirely possibly a mare is hoping to take over one of the most sought after mare herds and become it's Lead Mare. Either way, whatever the reason is, these mares want apart of a herd, whether it's the Broodmare Herd, the Wild Herd, or to form their own with a Bachelor Stallion.
These are Just Mares, and Maybe their Foal. |

12. Have Fun!
______________________________________
The Broodmare Herd Rules
1. The Lead Mare's word is law. Disobeying her could result in exile.
2. Do not wander off without permission or by yourself. We utilize the buddy system.
3. Do not consort with outside stallions without first telling the Lead Mare and Deputy about them. They could be a risk to the herd and it's hierarchy.
4. Mares can have foals with outside stallions, but it must be preapproved by the Lead Mare.
5. If a Stallion is found trying to infilitrate a herd, or has produced a foal with a herd mare without permission, the Herd will move, and the foal could possibly be forced to be abandoned.
6. Stay. Away. From. Humans. And alert Immediately if they are seen.
The Wild Herd Rules
1. The Lead Stallion's Word is law, he is to be listened to and respected at all times. Same for the Lead Mare.
2. Absolutely No Consorting with Outside Stallions. Foals will be abandoned or Killed if not of the LS or Lieutnant's blood, and mares will be punsihed and the Bachelor will be run off or killed.
3. Do not wander off by yourself or without permission. It will have the opposite effect of giving you space or independence.
4. Colts MUST leave by the age of three, if they stick around they may be injured.
5. Nonherd Mares must be brought the Lead Stallion immediately.
6. Stay away from humans and report them immediately. If you have brought them to the herd, you will be abandoned so the herd can escape. |

Important Herd Role Descriptions
For the Broodmare Herd
Lead Mare
She is the Mare that Stepped Up to Lead the Mares. They now trust her to lead and guide them as she has done so far. Her word is law, and she is to be respected by all. She ultimately makes the decisions for the herd.
Deputy Mare
This is the Mare who is like the Lead Mare's Lieutenant. She is the Most trusted mare of the Lead Mare, and helps faciliate anything the LM needs. She's also the one who will takeover in the event something happens to the LM.
Herd Mares
The other mares in the herd. Pretty simple.
Foals
These are the horses under the age of 1 that are the offspring of the mares. They were either unborn or newly born foals at the time of the release. Since a few months have passed, most of the foals have been born, there are a few exception, but the ages will range from 1-4 months.
For the Wild Herd
Lead Stallion
He is the Leading Stallion of the herd, and everything he says goes. He leads them, and his main job is to protect them, from whatever it may be. His word is law, and he is to be respected. He is the one with majority of the breeding rights to the mares within his herd.
Lead Mare
She is the Leading Mare of the herd, and is primarily in charge of the mares. She leads them to safety when the LS is taking care of a threat, and also keeps them in line if the mares start to act out. She helps the LS decide where to go for grazing, and solely chooses where to go for foaling.
Lieutenant
The Lieutenant is the other stallion in the herd who is tasked with keeping the herd safe. He doesn't interfere with challenges for LS, but he does protect them from stallions trying to steal mares, or predators attacking, etc. If the LS is gone, he is the Stallion who takes over in his place and will eventually find a new Lieutenant for himself. He has some breeding rights, but he must get permission from the LS.
Herd Mares
These are the adult mares who make up the bulk of the herd.
Yearlings
These are the young horses over the age of one, but under the age of three.
Foals
All horses under the age of one, and the offspring of the mares.
For the Bachelor Bands
Lead Stallion
He is the oldest and most experienced stallion of the band, and he leads them. When the band claims mare, he is the one who typically takes them, and breaks off to form a herd.
Band Stallions
These are the other stallions in the herd. They respect the hierarchy of age, knowing that the oldest horses get to form herds first. When the LS leaves to form a herd, the next most experienced horse steps up to lead. Sometimes, the LS will take a stallion with him to be a Lieutenant. It's their choice to go or not though. |

Name:Dionysus
Age:Seven Years
Gender:Stallion/Male
Herd or Band:Neither
Rank:Bachelor Stallion;
Potentially Open for a Bachelor Band
Desired Rank:
Lead Stallion
Thoughts on the Broodmare Herd?:
He desires to be a Lead Stallion with a Herd of his own. What better way to come about that than to become that Stallion for the herd of mares that currently does have any. He knows competition will be high, but he's confident he will be triumphant at the end of the day and these mares will be his.
Appearance:
Credit for this Image goes to Alla-Equi on DA. This is a Stock Image that I followed the TOS for.
Dionysus is a rather tall stallion, although not the tallest there is. He stands at a solid 17.1 hh, and has an athletic and muscular build. He's an impressive stallion who is clearly in his prime. Long legs carry him easily on his journies, with well muscled shoulders and wide hips. Being a stallion in his prime, Dion moves with a taut gracefulness that seems like he's ready to explode at any moment. He moves with power, each step a coil and release of muscle ready for anything.
The stallion is well proportioned, long legs, muscular neck and shoulders, wide hips, and defined head. He appears as if he was chiseled from stone by the Gods. To put it simply, he is a rather attractive stallion, and you can bet he knows it. His hooves are average sized, but still pack a punch and hurt when he kicks or rears at someone. If anything, his muscular hips help kick hard to help sway others into surrendering in a fight.
Besides his build, Dionysus has a unique coat. He's a leopard appaloosa, with a white base and large black spots. The spots are more dense on his torso and head, whereas they space out on his hind end. His mane is completely white, and he holds a pair of bright hazel eyes.
Personality: Boundless Confidence || A Bit Cocky || Protective || Flirtatious || Show Off || Flashy || Attention Hog || Affectionate || Loyal || Hard Working || Impatient at Times || Ambitious || Relentless || Social || Charismatic, Sometimes || Friendly Towards Mares and Foals || A Bit War of Other Stallions || Not Tolerance for Drama

Sire: Troublesome Dreamer VMX [ Barn Name: Major ] ════════════╣ ⚜ ╠════════════ Thoughts on the Wild Horses: Worried. Anxious. Chief doesn't know how to feel about them.. she hasn't even met a pasture pet let alone an undomesticated equine. From what she's gathered in the past few days, it's going to be rough, and there are going to be a lot of bumps on this trail. She's worried for her fellow mares, knowing that some of them.. some of them may not be strong enough to survive in this kind of place. The world they once knew, it was gone. ════════════╣ ⚜ ╠════════════ Appearance: 
Alla-equi @ DA || Alla-equi@DA Chief holds herself proper and high, walking with a bit of pep in her step. Standing at 17hh tall, weighing 1.3k lbs, or 590 kilos, more or less. Chief has a lean, narrow, somewhat muscular build. Unlike pasture pets or trail-riding QHs, Chief has been bred to be an astounding and beautiful racer. Throughout Chief's background is nothing but filled with accomplished, successful, and prideful Thoroughbreds. Every stallion, every mare, built with grace and power. The breed itself is known for its speed and agility. Chief has been bred to be even better, bred to beat the breed's limitations. Taller than most average mares, with a longer body and sturdier legs, Chief is more than your ideal Thoroughbred. Many mistake Chief to be a Black Thoroughbred, and as amazing and beautiful as that would be, unfortunately, that is not the case. Chief is known as a Dark Bay, or a Mahogany Bay. Either way, she is a darker version of a Wild Bay, her points are black, while the rest of her body varies in very dark shades of brown. It's happened before, but few have said "No, she is a Seal Bay." When in reality, no, she is not a Seal Bay. A Seal Bay and Mahogany Bay are two genetically different variations. A Maghogany Bay, Chief, her undersides: stomach, flanks, inside legs are a more dark reddish-orangeish color while the rest of her body is a very dark brown, her points being black. In the light, it's easy to see the color difference between the brown, red and black, but when night falls, she looks dark as night, a raven black. The only color that stands out most on this specific mare, is her snow-white Round Star on her forehead that connects itself to a small, and disoriented stripe. Personality: Firm || Authoritative || Reliable || Honorable || Direct || Serious || Deadly Calm || Respectful of others, however, Respect is demanded in Return || Protective || Responsible || Understanding || Compassionate || Gentle || Difficult to admit/accept one's love for another || Determined & Motivated || Aggressive [ if / when provoked ] || Barbaric & Violent Tendencies || Territorial || Cold || Menacing [ towards outsiders ] || Unpredictable Chief will do absolutely everything in her power to protect the ones she loves, and those who don't have the power to do it themselves. Chief is an honest mare by default. It was encrypted into her personality, every whisper, every syllable that manages to escape her lips is nothing but from the truth. Chief feels as if it's her duty to be truthful. There are far too many liars in this world, and if you can't accept the truth, how could you even begin to accept yourself? The liars of this world aren't.. they aren't all bad. Most of them are too scared to face the truth. It's too painful and sad. But it's alright. Chief can take those burdens. The loss of a loved one? As grim and terrifying as it is, she'll do it. The burden of telling someone about an unimaginable act? She'll do it. As much as Chief can understand the pain that honesty brings, she can't seem to understand why other equines could fathom lying about the most detrimental things... However, as much as she doesn't understand it, she won't dig too deep. She believes that lies are like an infestation. They build, and they grow, and they don't stop unless they are destroyed at the very source. Chief can do many things, but there are a few things in this world she couldn't. This particular mare isn't known much for her lies, as she rarely tells such things. At the same time, there are times when she needs to change her perspective and lie to herself. Even so, she doesn't tell lies to benefit herself, but to protect others. They may not understand it, but Chief is willing to lie for them, and for that, it should mean a lot to them. Just as passionate as she is about being honest, she is just as passionate about being responsible and reliable. There are so many unfaithful equines out there, that the faithful are being drowned out. Chief may not be able to strengthen the faithful, but maybe she can guide others onto the same path. For as long as she can remember, Chief has always been reliable, ever since she was a small, short, and stout filly. Chief is in fact known for her honesty and her nobility. That's why it's such a surprise when she lets her composure go, it's like a fury like no other. Mares are known in general for being cranky, grumpy, and just fed up with the world. Quite the stereotype in Chief's opinion, but if others were going to base Chief's anger off of the stereotypical "mare's anger"... well, let's say it's a bit more aggressive than what most think. She becomes an extremely hostile and territorial beast, defending herself and her peers from the dangers that dare to cross the line and threaten the life of Chief's loved ones. All rational thoughts are gone, and there is only one thing on Chief's mind. Protect the weak, and kill the aggressors. This mare would give up her life if it meant protecting her family. Even if it meant a painful, and gruesome death she wouldn't hesitate for a second. If it were just Chief alone, against an entire horde of blood-thirsty wolves, she wouldn't even flinch. Many like to say that she is brave and courageous to stand up to such things, but Chief doesn't think that's bravery. It's her responsibility to protect her friends and family from all harm. It's a duty. Death? Death does scare Chief. Because if she's gone, what will happen to her children? To her siblings? She won't be able to protect them beyond the grave. But, but. She'll be able to give them enough time to run and escape. ═══════════════╣ ⚜ ╠═══════════════ Crush: N/A Mate:
